University Won't
Slice Inn Yard
To Widen Road
Unwilling to Give up Strip of
Land; Thinks Present Highway
Tabes Good Care of Traffic
CHANGE WOULD END TREES
The University has decided
not tt> accede to the proposal
that a slice of land be cut off
the east side of the yard of the
Carolina Inn so that the road
between and the cam
pus may be widened.
The road by the Inn and the
high school is a state highway,
and for a year or so the school
authorities have been trying to
get the state highway commis
sion to widen the roadway and
build a curb-and-gutter opposite
the school. An urgent need is a
sidewalk for the school chil
dren on the west side of the
highway. At the railroad under
pass they can walk only on the
east side; thus many of them
have to cross the highway and
run the risk of being struck by
automobiles. _
The school board was not in
terested in changing the road
way north of the railroad, only
in getting a continuous sidewalk
and in the improvement from
the railroad schoolward. But
the state highway commission
said it would make the desired
improvement only on condition
that the roadway by the Inn be
widened to conform, or nearly
conform, to lines of Columbia
street to the north. This would
require the slicing from the Inn
yard, opposite the campus, of a
strip 10 feet wide and the cutting
down of good trees. The
proposal was referred to T the
University as owner of the Inn.

Duke and Pitt to Meet Tomorrow
The football season in this
part of the country will come to
an end tomorrow with Pitts
burgh, generally thought to be
the greatest team in the coun
try, meeting Duke in the Duke
stadium. The kick-off will be at
2 o’clock.
Despite the fact that all the
experts and nearly everybody
else think Pitt is sure to win.
and will probably win by a con
siderable margin, there’ll be a
big crowd. Before the Duke-
Carolina game, 31,000 seats for
the*fray with Pitt had been sold.
Then Dulto was expected to beat
Carolina ahd to face Pitt as an
team. Predictions
were made in some quarters that
the defeat of Duke by Carolina
would stop the sale, but it didn’t.
There are thousands of people
who want to see the country’s
top - ranking team - perform
whether the opposition is easy
or not.
So the orders for seats have
continued to roll in. Yesterday
the demand passed beyond the
capacity of the permanent
stands (35,000), and the seats
in the temporary wooden stands
were put on sale.

Christmas Seal Sale Will Begin Next Wednesday
The anuual sale of Christmas
Seals to fight tuberculosis will
begin next Wednesday, Decem
ber 1. The seals will be sold
from door to door and at the
post office, the Graham Memo
rial, and the “Y.”
More funds are needed this
year, since greater diligence in
the examination of persons sus
pected of having tuberculosis
has brought to light many new
cases of the disease in Orange
county. Many of these cases are
among the poor and must be
taken care of by the Anti-Tuber
culosis Association with funds
realized from the sale of Christ
mas Seals. *
Three fourths of the tmoney
Collected here is spent in Chapel
Hill and its vicinity. Any local
agency which is fighting tuber
culosis may apply to the com
mittee for aid with the assur
ance of getting it as long as the
money holds out.
Remember two things when
you are asked to buy seals: (1)
tuberculosis is now largely a di
sease of poor people who cannot
pay for treatment; and (2) we
have in Chapel Hill a department
of health which can advise as
to the best use of the money.

Red Cross Enrolls 956 Here
The Chapel Hill chapter of the
ged Cross closed its annual
membership drive this week
with an enrollment of 956, an
excess of 356 over its quota of
600. The fees from the 956 new
numbers amounted to 6978.64.
In the 42nd football match
between the University of Vir
ginia and the University of
North Carolina, played yesterday
in the Kenan stadium before a
crowd of about 13,000, Carolina
won by 40 to 0.
As had been generally fore
told, the power and the finesse
of Wolfs team were too much
for the visitors. From the time
when Ditt smashed through the
line, on the first play after Caro
lina got possession of the ball,
and ran 62 yards for a touch-,
down, the only question was the
I size of the score.

coach, says:
“Duke’s got a chance. Wal
lace Wade’s boys know all the
answers on the kicking and pass
ing game, and a team like that
must be given a chance against
Pitt or anybody else. Duke’s
liable to connect any time with
one of its long passes, or that
Hackney boy is liable to run
somebody to death while bring
ing back a punt. Yes, those
Dukes have a chance.”
In his column in the Durham
Herald, Fred Haney publishes
this letter from a Pittsburgh
fan:
“You have seen a lot of foot
ball. How many games have you
seen where a team with a 180-
pound backfield and a 195-pound
line actually finished a game
owing itself nine yards after
completing 25 scrimmage plays?
That’s the story of the Pitts
burgh-Nebraska game Novem
ber 13. The Huskers lost 50
yards and gained but 41 on 25
plays. Th4y made two first
downs in 60 minutes of play.

bareheaded, and she wore a
broad smile. There was a hint
of swagger in her walk as she
greeted me with a wave of the
hand and said : “This is what I
call gor-r-rgeous weather !” She
went swinging up the street,
now and then tilting her head to

Chapel Hill’s polling place is

2 School Games Today
The Class A and Class B high
school football championships of
North Carolina will be decided
this afternoon in the Kenan sta
dium. Reidsville and Hamlet,
contenders for the Class B
crown, will play at I o’clock, and
Charlotte and Rocky Mount will
lock horns for the Class .A title
at 3 o’clock.
Charlotte, of the four teams
the only defending champion,
defeated Winston-Salem 39 to 7
last week to take the western
Class A pennant, while Rocky
Mount beat Raleigh, 1936 east
ern champions, 25 to 6.
Hamlet captured the eastern
Class B championship last week
by defeating Edenton 39 to 20.
In the west Reidsville terminat
ed its season with a 13 to 0 vic
tory over the South high school
of- Winston-Salem.
None of tb» four teams play

this fall. Rocky Mount played
an early season 6 to 6 tie with
Fayetteville.
Last Days of Exhibit
The Person Hull Art Display Will
Come to nn End This Sunday
The exhibit in the Person Hall
Art Gallery, of paintings by
Chiura Obata of the University
of California and water colors
by Russell T. Smith of Chapel
Hill, will dose Sunday evening.
Mr. Obata’s pictures are char
acterized by a spectacular sim
plification in technique, and his
flower pieces reflect a faithful
ness to nature seldom found in
present-day painters. Visitors
trained in botany have been
struck by the accuracy of the
work and have immediately of
fered the technical names of the
specimens represented.”
Mr. Smith’s watercolors show
a progression from his winter
landscapes presented last y.oar
to more complicated designs of
New Hampshire and North
Carolina scenes. His study of
sea and rocks, called “Low
Tide,” is one of the most beau-*
tiful of these pictures.
The gallery will be closed
tfiext week for a change of ex
hibits.

Faculty Committee, Aided by

After Thorough Inspection
A. C. NASH IS CONSULTANT
Hie site for the University’s
new medical building has been
chosen. It is the wooded crest
on the east side of the Pittsboro
highway, opposite the Hugo

building will be somewhere be
tween 160 and 200 feet from the
highway.
The distance from the trian
gular island grassplot at the
junction of the Pittsboro and
Raleigh highways is about 1,000
feet, and from the main en
trance of Venable hall (chem

The decision on the site was
made Monday at the conclusion
of an inspection* by the faculty
committee on building and
grounds, of which W. C. Coker
is chairman; the architects,
Messrs. Atwood and Weeks, who
won in the recent competition
for the design of the building;
