V«LI3. No. 34 Davidsaa to Be Next Opponent Everybody Expects University to Be an Easy Winner in the Match Tomorrow HIF&HINS HAS AN INJURY Having beaten Tennessee 38 to 13 and Maryland 33 to 0 in its last two games, the Univer sity Is expected to be an easy winner in the game with David son College, at Davidson, tomor row. One of the traditions of football in North Carolina is that in its game with the Uni versity Davidson often fools the forecasters, but for it to win, or even achieve a tie, this year would be nothing short of a miracle. Jim Hutchins, fullback, got his toe hurt in the Maryland game, but the latest report is that he will be able to play to morrow. Dashiell and Burnette have been hobbling about the campus, and there is doubt as to whether or not either of them will be in the game. Carolina won from Davidson last year by a score of 12 to 2. Scout Walter Skidmore says that, if its play so far this sea son means anything, Davidson will depend heavily upon its passing attack. The Pittman- Lafferty combination completed 7 out of 12 passes in the South Carolina game last Saturday, which Davidson won 13 to 6. The sports writers for the Washington and Baltimore newspapers were enthusiastic in their praise of Carolina’s per formance in the Maryland game. **The Tar Heals have what it (takes to win games,” wrote Ran dall Caskell in the Baltimore Evening Sun; “great blocking, fast and hard-charging linemen, exceptional passing and brilliant running, deceptive attack and alertness in pass defense. The spectators were certainly treat ed to an exhibition of top-notch football by the North Carolina team.” H. G. Baity Retains Appendix Herman G. Baity has come home from Watts hospital. When he went there he thought per haps he would have to undergo an operation for appendicitis. They Weeded him, they x-rayed him, they fluoroscoped him, they stethoscoped him, they thumped him and kneaded him, they ex amined hi# tongue, throat, and other parts, and finally they de cided to let his appendix stay where it was. Despite all the tests to which he was subjected, he got a good rest while he was in the hospital.

Just as he had started the motor and was about to move off he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked back and found himself facing, at a distance of about six inches, a monkey. The monkey’s teeth were bared in an evil sort of grin, and it uttered a menacing growl. Sometimes you read of a per son who, confronted with a sud den peril, is rendered motionless by fright. That was not the ef fect fright had upon Jo.

The police were summoned, and presently there was a com munity gathering on the Webb place. Various suggestions look ing to a capture were advanced, but the trouble was that every one of them called for a close approach to the monkey. Ob serving the animal’s teeth and claws, and hearing its recurring snarls, everybody preferred that somebody else be the captor. The only achievement of the as sembled company was to cover the mouth of the pit so that the (Continued on next page) A. A. U. W.

Berryhill have a daughter, She was born in Duke hospital Sunday. Her name is Catherine Brewer. Chapel Hill Chaff What is perfect weather? Ob viously it is a question that can not be answered with a formula, for tastes vary so widely. My self, I like rather more warmth than we have had recently, but I should say that, according to what you might call the norm of preference, the weather in Chapel Hill in these first seven teen days of October has been about as near to perfection as weather can be. (Observe that I say seventeen, not eighteen, for these words are written on the seventeenth, and the ele ments may decide to raise hell before the paper comes out). Day after day the sun has shone brilliantly. In most of the hours between dawn and dusk the air has been mild enough, and yet zippy. The leaves have taken on their fall colors earlier than usual, and all over the village and the campus the eye is de lighted by bursts of gorgeous red and yellow. If I could regu-1 late the temperature by edict I would make the nights a bit warmer, so that there would be no need of a fire in the furnace, and no need of ah overcoat when you go out; but anybody who has not been satisfied with the weather in Chapel Hill in the first half of October, 1936, is a natural-born grouch who couldn’t be satisfied with any thing in this world of ups and downs. • * • For many years I have had lodgers in my house, members of the faculty and students. Lodgers are good, bad, and me (Continued on next page) Big Airliner Coming Loomis to B« Here Next Week with Ford Tri-Motored Plane HNj IP* jS Ray Loomis, graduate of the United States Army flying field at San Antonio, Texas, will be here Wednesday and Thursday of next week with a tri-motored Ford Airliner.

An examination of the rec ord showed that the fraterni ties which had thought of build ing there, several years ago, had chosen to build elsewhere. Hence their claims were voided. By agreeing to provide space for a driveway and a parking area for the fraternity, apd to place the building at least 130 feet from the lot line, the Uni versity has satisfied the Phi Delta Theta. “Homecoming Day” Village to Be Gaily Decorated when Georgia Tech Cornea Oct. 26 Saturday, October 26, when the Carolina-Georgia Tech foot ball game will be played in the Kenan stadium, has been desig nated as Homecoming Day for University alumni.

Aiding School Football Team The Rotary Club, the Kiwania Club, and the merchants of the village are engaged in a move ment to provide transportation and equipment for the high school football team. Henderson Astounded by Wallace's Tirade Nobody was ever more as tounded than was Archibald Henderson when, at a patriotic celebration In Boonesboro, Ken tucky, last Saturday, he was ac cused in bitter language of de preciating the achievements of Daniel Boone. The man who de livered a tirade against him was Tom Wallace of the Louisville Times. The editor's remarks caused considerable embarrass ment to the group of notable Kentuckians on the platform, and after the ceremonies sev eral of them expressed to Mr. Henderson regret for what they said waa an uncalled-for attack. The occasion was the meeting of the Transylvanians, a society devoted to perpetuating the (UtsTwrhAifra Sc a Copy Negroes Arrested after Raids on Lyon Hardware Store and " Tommy Goseh's Restaurant STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED Police Chief Sloan and Officer Wright have caught the men, two young Negroes, who have been entering and robbing stores and homes in Chapel Hill in the last few weeks. Alvin Martin is in jail, and J. C. Alston is out on bail. The value of the property taken by the robbers has not amounted to much, but their raids have crested considerable uneasiness in the village, for merchants and householders have had the feeling, “you don’t know what will happen next” The W. C. Lyon hardware store, on the south side of Franklin street, was entered Sunday night The manager dis covered, when he came in Mon day, that four knives had been taken out of a show-case. On the same night Tommy Gooch’s restaurant on Columbia street was entered, and three cartons of cigarettes were taken. Entrance to the Lyon store was made through a rear win dow after a pane of glass had been broken and the catch on the inside turned. Impressions on the dust on the window sill in dicated that the robber had worn corduroy trousers, and this was one of the clues the police had. , Chief Sloan's Investigations led him to believe that the chief offender was the man who had robbed the Crowder store three weeks before and who had been traced to Danville. Through the Danville police the chief ob tained a letter that Alston had written to Martin. Following up their clues, Chief Sloan and Officer Wright combed the village Monday and Tuesday, questioning many per sons suspected of having been In communication with the rob bers. The arrests were made Wednesday morning. The knives stolen from the Lyon store and some of the cig arettes stolen from Gooch’s res taurant were recovered. Morning Glories, Mexican Blue Morning glories, of the color known as Mexican blue, are a beautiful sight in the village in these October days. To see one of the beat displays, go down Hooper lane and look over the wall (to your left) into the Man gum garden. Another garden where these blooms flourish is that which is owned jointly by Mrs. T. J. Wilson and Mrs. Fred Patterson, on Pickard lane. memory of the men who opened up the Kentucky wilderness 160 years ago. In hia presidential address Mr. Henderson, far from belittling Boone, paid a glowing tribute to him as a great pioneer. Before reaching this passage in his address he allud ed to efforts Unit had been made by certain historian* to dimin ish the fame of Boone. “They have even spoken of 'the Dan iel Boone myth'," he said, and then he eked the record to show that these historic ns were wrong —that Boone, working in coop eration with the Transylvania Company, had rendered an in valuable service In establishing a permanent settlement in the (Centtnued on nett page)
