VoL 13. No. 31 Wake Forest Is Caroliaa's Foe In First Match Season’s Opening Game Will Be Played Tomorrow Afternoon in Kenan Stadium INJURIES CREATE GLOOM The annual football game be tween the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest Col lege will begin at 2:3ff tomor row (Saturday) afternoon in the Kenan stadium. It is the open ing match of the season for the University and the second on the schedule for Wake Forest. There is much gloomy talk about the contest among the fans here, the sources of pes simism being (1) the strength displayed by the Deacons against Duke a week ago in Greensboro and (2) the injuries to Carolina players. Coach Carl Snavely, after seeing the Duke-Wake Forest contest, came back to Chapel Hill deeply impressed by the speed and resourcefulness of the Deacons. They made a better showing than the score of 26 to 7 indicates. At the end of the first half neither team had scored, and Duke’s touchdowns were the result of sensational spurts rather than a sustained superiority. For all but about two or three minutes of play, when the Duke backs got away for long runs, the teams were playing on about even terms. “Wake Forest is going to make it tough for the Carolin ians, is the forecast of E. V. Mitchell of the Greensboro News, and the other sports edi tors of the state express the same opinion. “Injuries have slowed up the Carolina practices,” says a bul letin from the University news bureau, “and seem likely to hamper the play in the Wake Forest game.

Jewish Holiday Tomorrow —■ Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins at sunset to day (Friday) and continues through Sunday afternoon. Many of the stores owned by Jews will he closed tomorrow in celebration of the event The Chapel Hill Weekly ■LOUIS GRAVES Editor Chapel Hill Chaff Friends of mine tell me that, at my age of 52,1 ought to Quit playing tennis. It is too violent, they say, and I had better switch to golf. Dr. Bullitt, when we were talking about it a few months ago, spoke of the severe strain imposed by such lively exercise as tennis upon the heart of an aging man. The Director, also, counsels me to be cautious. Her control over me is far stronger than that of even the most respected physician, and in obedience to her I do not ever indulge in the singles game . . . Well, hardly ever. What brings me and my ten nis to mind at the moment is something I heard about an in cident of the recent visit of Dr. Charles S. Mangum to Wrights ville. Clad in his bathing suit, he was standing near the water’s edge when he saw two young men, University students of his acquaintance, sprinting across the sand. Now, back in the 1890’s, Dr. Mangum was one of the University’s champion sprinter’s. On this .day last week he was feeling tip-top, and he was seized by the impulse to recapture his youth. He joined the young men, and together the three sped along the beach, the white-haired dean of the medical school keeping well up with his companions. But, alas! there was a hole in the sand — maybe where some child had been digging with a toy shovel —and Dr. Mangum’s foot went into it. A ligament in his leg was torn loose, and Dr. Mangum sprinted ho more. When he came home and Mrs. Mangum saw him walking with a limp, and was told the cause of ( Continued, on last page) Murchison’s Prediction He Expects 1929 Economic Level to Be Reached within 12 Months In an interview with an Asso ciated Press correspondent in Charleston, S. /C., last week, Claudius T. Murchison, former member of the faculty here, predicted a return to the eco nomic level of 1929 within the next twelve months. Mr. Mur chison is director of the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce in the United States de partment of commerce. “I can see no reason why we should not get back to the 1929 level in another 12 months,” he said. “Eventually we will sur pass that level. “There is nothing funda mental in the way of full recov ery. It takes time for every thing in a tremendous economic system to function; but now con ditions are rapidly and definitely swinging up. We hope they will not stop. “At present the construction industry is better than at any time since 1981. The past auto mobile season was the best since 1929. Iron and steel trade is the best in five years.” Red Cross Meeting A special meeting of the ex ecutive committee of the Chapel Hill Chapter, American Red Cross, will be held at the Emer gency Relief Office, at 8 o’clock Monday evening.

C* FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1835 The Old Rock Walls Will Be Saved The old rock walls along the edges of the University campus and around the yard of the President’s House will be saved. W. C. Coker, chairman of the faculty committee on grounds, is on the watch, and he is not going to let these century-old walls be reconstructed and slicked up with cement.. The publication in this paper last week of an item in the list of proposed W.P.A.' projects— “removing 1,700 feet of old rock wall on campus of University and building 3,400 feet of new rock walls, and rebuilding 376 feet of rock wall in front of President’s House” aroused keen interest among people who do not want to see the campus and village defaced by so-called “improvements” of the sort pre ferred by the modern town booster. Os course the W.P.A. item did Sinfonietta Next Week Musicians from Boston Are to Give Concert in Memorial Hall The Boston Sinfonietta, com posed of seventeen members of the Boston Symphony Orches tra, will give a concert at 8:30 next Wednesday evening in Me morial hall.

All women in Chapel HOl are invited. not say that the proposed recon struction involved the substitu tion of slick cement walls for the old walls, but the editor of this newspaper, from what his observations of wall-building here in recent years, knew well enough what a ghastly deed was in prospect unless somebody in authority interfered with the improvers. The revelation of the menace inspired this comment in the Raleigh Times: “The point made by the edi tor of the Weekly is well taken. Every one who knows a Chapel Hill rock wall will agree that it 4s no proper subject for a Brain Truster to be trusted with. The J old walls have been in the vil lage for more than a century. They were built by slave labor that knew its business and prac ticed an art that is gone. In (Continued on loot page) Rule on Car Licenses Pleasants Tells of Requirements for Out-of-the-State Autos W. W. Pleasants, state high way patrolman, was in Chapel Hill this week and gay,e informa tion about the regulations gov erning automobile license tags. The owner of an out-of-the state automobile will have the same length of time to obtain a North Carolina license that the state from which he comes al lows North Carolinians, except that it must be obtained within 90 days after the owner of the out-of-the-state car becomes a resident here. Patrolman Pleasants called attention also to the North Car olina statute relating to an auto mobile owner's registration card. This card, which shows the license number, the motor num ber, and the type of car, must be with the car at all times. When the driver’s license law goes into effect November 1 every driver must always have the license with him. This li cense applies to the driver, not to the car. No matter how many persona drive a car, every one of them must have a license. Jimmy Goes Along Whenever Madrys Leave Town They Have to Take Fox Terrier The Madrys have a little dog, its love for them is keen, and everywhere the Madrys go the dog is also seen. When the crowd was leaving the stadium in Greensboro Sat urday evening, after the Duke- Wake Forest game, I met the director of the University news bureau and his wife. They were on their way to meet Jimmy. The fox terrier had been in their car during the game. They were guests of Miss Ellen Now ell that night, and I learned aft erward that she provided them with a pallet for Jimmy to sleep on. “Whenever we are invited to visit friends,” Mrs. Madry told me, “we tell them we can’t come unless they let us bring Jimmy along, because there’s nowhere we can leave him." Jimmy is well behaved, so his master informs me, and never makes any trouble as a house *u««t. __ Rachmaninoff Coming to Duke Sergei Rachmaninoff, cole, brated Russian pianist, will ap pear in a recital October 81 at Duke University.

Sc a Copy People Wonder What Is to Be Done abont Officials Study Problem, and Plan of Management Will Be Announced Soon STEADY RENTALS NEEDED What the University is going to do about the Carolina Inn is the subject of much speculation on the campus and in the viUafee. The reason all the talk is in the nature of questioning and guessing is that the University itself doesn’t yet know the an swer. President Graham, Busi ness Manager Charles T. Wool len, and other officials have been studying the problem, and it is expected that within the next two or three weeks they will have something definite to an nounce. John Sprunt Hill presented the Inn to the University at a trustees’ meeting a few months ago. It has been of general knowl edge that the Inn has never been a profitable investment. Indeed, Mr. Hill built it not for the purpose of making money out of it but because of his in terest in the University and his realization that one of the great, est needs of the Chapel Hill community was hotel accommo dations for visitors. Though the venture was not profitable for him, it is thought that the Uni versity should be able to “come out on it” since there is no capi tal outlay to pay interest on and since, the ownership being in a state institution, there are no taxes. There are rumors that the Inn, may be conducted as a sort of combined hotel and alumni club, with a certain number of the rooms segregated as quar ters for permanent residents. If that plan should be adopted* naturally those rooms would have to be let at rates below the level customary for transients. Since it was built about 10 years ago, many of the rooms in (Continued on loot page) Party for R. B. House H« Ia Honor Gucat at Madrya’ Homo la Halifax County Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
