A man and his ten-year old son annoyed those around them by ringing cowbells last Saturday at the Caro lina-Notre Dame football game. The man had a big cowbell and the boy had a jlittle cowbell. Whenever Car olina made a good play fath [er and son jumped up and rang the bells as hard as they could. Two men in front of them turned around and asked them to lay off, but they paid no attention. A large young man seated directly behind the bell ring ers was bothered not only! by the noise but by the fact 'that he was having a hard time seeing the game be cause the man and boy were on their feet so much of the time. His patience at last exhausted, he stood up and wrested the bell from the man's hands while it was .being rung at arm’s length overhead. As soon ns he did this the young man was struck on the side of the face by a huge rough looking man who was seated behind him and who didn’t know the bell ringers but was spoiling for trouble. It was a terrific blow, given without warn ing, and it almost knocked the young man senseless. For ten or fifteen minutes he sat there dazed, holding his bowed head between his hands. When he took his hands away the |H'ople near him could see that the side of his face was red and swol len. The main impact of the big man’s fiat seemed to have been centered on the che«k Irone. But there wus also a thin straight red line across the temple where the shaft of the young man’s glasses had been driven in to the akin. An unher came and offered to take him to a first-aid station. He declin ed to go, but his companion, unother young man, left his (Contlnuad on page t) directed hy John Clayton, both assistant professors of radio, television, and motion pictures at the University of North Caro lina.
