3,000 Persons
Jam Tin Can
For Costume Ball
By Elsie Lyon
Dressed in everything from red paint
and shaved heads to pillowed stomachs
and mop hair, more than 3,000 stu
dents, faculty, townspeople, and a bevy
of cows, mules, geese and other barn
yard life jammed the Tin Can last
night to celebrate Sadie Hawkins Day.
Al Capp, originator of the comic
strip, "Lil Abner," with Mrs; Capp
racked their brains to choose the best
costumes from among the thousands
Costume Awards v
Most gruesome Sadie Hawkins was
Bandy Mebane, who was suddenly con
fronted with a first prize of one large,
very-much-alive calf. Most appealing
Lil Abner was Jim PritJhett, who re
ceived one" squealing pig right into his
arms, while most beautiful Daisy Mae,
Harriet West, started the pursuit with
a goose in her arms.
Lillian Wheeler walked off with a
turkey as her prize for being the best
Mammy Yokum; Mac Sherman as the
best Hairless Joe was presented with
a pig; sirenish Sadie Hawkins the
Fifth, Marcella Clarke, was given a
rooster as the most convincing Widder
Fruitful and Joe Little, complete with
shaved head, received a rooster for be
ing the best Lonesome Polecat.
The 4th other winner, Tom Beibig
heiser as Old Man Mose, Dan Wil
liamson as Marrying Sam, V Harold
Xrauss, Joe Barrier, and Don Willard
as the Scragg brothers, and Palol'smi
Irving as the mysterious "It" found
that the supply of barnyard animals
had given out before they won.
Worley Honored
Midway in the celebration, Dean
House took over the microphone to pre
sent Fish Worley with a wrist watch j
and defense savings bond from the stu-f
dent body "for .outstanding work in
promoting friendship on this campus."

Development of the art of mono

In an effort to stem the trend tow-
rd lowering of scholastic standards
the Monogram ; Club and " among
members of athletic groups as a whole,
the lettermen, in a recent meeting,
voted to form a committee to aid
Andy Bershak in the raising of marks.
The committee composed of one rep
resentative from ach team in inter-
scholastic athletics, will aid Bershak
in checking on the scholastic averages
of team members and m suggesting
methods ,of remedying the downward
trend.
Barclay Appointed
. Jim Barclay was appointed chair
man of the committee. Bobby Gersten,
Monogram Club president, expressed:
the opinion ..that, more stringent stan
dards would . be enforced.
. "The lax policy that many athletes
have adopted toward training regula
tions has made necessary the under
taking of some stronger methods of
enforcement," Gersten said. Although
no definite plans have been made for
enforcement of strict training rules,
informed sources indicate that the
athletic department is prepared to co
operate with the Monogram Club in
preparing plans for such an under
taking. The Monogram Club proposal for
the revision of methods of awarding
monograms will again come before
the Athletic Council at its meeting to
night. The ."proposed revision includ
es: removing awards from' coaches
discretion and putting them on a stan
dard basis; establishing a service let
ter; : awarding letters to freshman
managers; and putting au sports ui
the same category. (Present system is
to divide sports into major and minor
departments.)

kickoff 97 yards for the Tar Heels'
first touchdown it was evident that
they were a different ball club than
they have been in the past month.
isot yu seconds alter recora ran
back the opening kickoff the Tar Heels
scored again when the same Mr. Peco
ra, who played probably the greatest
game of his varsity career tonight,
passed to Frank O'Hare to score No.
two touchdown.
Touchdown No. three was gained
very easily after Dick Sieck covered
a fumble on the Richmond three. Shot
Cox bucked the ball across in three
plays.
Those three touchdowns completed
Carolina's scoring in the first quarter.
In the early minutes of the second quar
ter sophomore Lovick Corn scored the
Tar Heels' fourth touchdown as the
climax to an 80-yard advance.
After that scoring spree in the first
half, the Tar Heels stayed on the de
fense for the major portion of the
second half... They were satisfied in
punting on second and third downs
and protected their lead. .
Richmond's passing attack its chief
form of offense all night was an ever
dangerous threat, but the Carolina sec
ondary managed . to keep all of Lem
Fitzgerald's passes from doing much
damage. Once the Spiders got to the
10-yard line, but the Tar Heels stif
fened and took over the ball. Rich
mond got seven first downs passing.
Carolina was strictly a first half
team tonight different from past Car
olina teams but that first half spree
was enough to insure it a victory.
Richmond, game to the end, was
unable to offer any consistent attack,
but the running and passing of Lem
Fitzgerald was a marvel to watch. The
148-pound back was hit often and hard
by the heavier Tar Heels, but he man
aged to come out of the fray uninjured.
Brightest performer of the Tar Heels
on Jhe offense was Johnny Pecora,
but the running of Shot Cox and Lo
vick Corn was also Outstanding. Clay
Croom, the short while he was in the
game, looked good, but he was forced
out after about three minutes of play
because of a leg injury.
The entire team stood out on de
fense. . Time after time the line rushed
in to throw the runners and passers
for losses. Dick Sieck, and Carl Sun
theimer were the top line performers.
Coach Ray Wolf started an all senior
team except for Johnny Pecora and
Dave Barksdale, and the seniors res
ponded in exactly 10 seconds by scor
ing a touchdown with Johnny Pecora

UNC Victory

RICHMOND, Va, City Stadium,
Nov. 8. All the charm and grandeur
of old Virginia is compact here in the
Old Dominion state's capital city to
night and bitter cold.
i Cold, a small crowd, mostly pro
Spiders, chilled to the bone but the
game is about to start and that'll
warm up some depressed Tar Heel
hearts.
-
This game, if you remember, is the
second nocturnal game the Tar Heels
have played in all their proud history,
the other game was with Davidson's
Wildcats just five weeks ago tonight
when the Carolina eleven took its
last victory.
Old timers here who remember the
pre-World War days when the "on to
Richmond" cry resounded through the
narrow streets of this fair city might
understand that this game is first in
several respects: first time a Tar Heel
team hasn't been the heavy favorite
for in the" nine games played hereto
fore the Spiders took only, one game,
last year's. Thus the Tar Heels are
out for revenge for the first time.
Here comes something that will
stop this typexniting for a minute
some 56 beautiful students from Mary
Washington College are parading
across the field and here they come
to sit on the Carolina side as the Uni
versity band tonight.
