NO INDIVIDUAL LIGHT Entire Backfield Shows up Well While Blackwood is Outstanding in Line Eleven First Downs for Carolina Frosh.

Playing a better brand of "football than is usually displayed by freshman elevens, the University of North Carolina yearling football team scored a decisive 12 to 0 victory over the University of Maryland freshmen last Friday in Baltimore. The Tar Baby worked with the precision of a machine, ripping great holes in the opposing defense, allowing their backs crash through for substantial gains. The Tar Heels drew hrst blood in latter part of the first half when Scheider grabbed a twenty-five yard pass and raced ten more" for a score. Then again in the third quarter the Carolinians started down the field by series of line drives led by "the doughty Mr. House who a little later smashed his way through center for second and final goal.

Both attempts for the extra point: failed. No Single Stars Maryland was completely outplayed from beginning to end. The fact that Old Liners possessed a rather stubborn defense prevented the Tar Babies from running up a larger score. Carolina chalked up eleven first downs to the loser's two, eight of Carolina's eleven coming during the first quarter. -As an exception to the season's rule, the Tar -Heels exhibited noJ individual ground gainer in the backfield.

House, Nelson, Nash and Michael divided honors among themselves.

Crowd of 9,000 Witnesses Colorful Opening of Carolina's New Grid Temple. ARRIS PLAYS STAR GAME New Spirit Dominates Tar Heel Style of Play- Passes Used to Particular Advantage Grey and Nisbet Best for Davidson. The University of North Car olina football squad took on all the spirits of the occasion and appropriately christened the new Kenan Memorial Stadium here last Saturday with a 27 to 0 victory over the Davidson Wildcats. Only once before in all the thirty years of rivalry with the 'Cats have the Tar Heels run up a larger score. That was in 1915 when the mar gin of the Heels' win was 41 to D.

A colorful crowd of 9,000 specta tors gathered to see the opening of the University's vast grid temple, drawn more perhaps by the new stadium itself than by the game to be played. But if the, people came only to see the stadium then they also received a treat in the way of a football game. Not since 1922 has the Tar Heel eleven trutted its stuff in such fashion. The towering concrete stands rose to commanding heights on each side of the playing field, sheltering a crowd that seemed almost swallowed in the wide expanse of amphitheatre. When William Rand Kenan, Jr.

gave the stadium as a memorial for his father and mother, provisions were made for 24,000 people. Saturday the crowd hat filled only the middle sections made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in size. The Tar Heel team, too, caught that enthusiasm and swept up and down the field in impressive manner to roll over a quartet of touchdowns. Fifty Yard Pass The eleven that swamped the Wildcats Saturday was a different team from the one that has worn the light blue and white all season. The per sonnel was the same.

The spirit was (Continued on page three) STUDENTS DECRY ALCOHOLIC WASTE Half Gallon Jar of fcorn Thrown from Car on Chapel Hill's Main Street. "Don't cry over spilled milk" did not apply to sweet essence of corn Saturday afternoon when a passing motorist dropped from his car a half gallon' fruit jar of corn whiskey on Franklin street in front of the Carolina Confectionery. A recent addition to the police force was a block away and smelled the whiskey, so he said. LWhen" he arrived on the scene there was a score or more of mournful looking students standing around the fragments of glass and the large we spot where the liquid landed on the pavement. Nor did the students simply take a look and walk away.

Instead they stood over the spot like they would have over their grandmother's grave, and now and then came close to get" the full benefit of the penetrating odor. Some wag, probably wishing a test drill for the fire department, lit a newspaper and threw: it on the large wet spot where the whiskey was still standing in small puddles on the street. Everyone quickly retreated to avoid the. blaze, but instead of the alcohol igniting and burning up, the spectators heard a sizzling sound of water and fire in contact, and the paper was extinguished. Some bootlegger knew his mixtures, too well.

The whiskey was thought to have been thrown from a car bearing a Sanf ord license which was seen to pass the corner coming from Sanf ord only a moment before the crash of the bottle was heard. The officer stated that the only charge against the party would be breaking glass on the street as there is no law to prosecute a person Sfter he has spilled the whiskey. However, no one admitted the loss in hope of regaining it from the city. Meeting in Memorial. Hall Friday night in a gigantic "loyalty meeting," the University student body expressed its confidence in the coaches and the football -squad by a lengthy ovation evidencing as much enthusiasm as the campus has seen accorded a football eam in many years.

As C. R. Jonas, president of the student body, explained, the meeting was not the usual pep meeting customary before a big game. It was in the nature of a general discussion of the factors that have resulted in the poor showing of the team so far this year, and of the possible inspiration that the student body may give the squad in the remaining games. Evidently the confidence expressed by those at the mass meeting had some part in the vastly improved brand of football exhibited by Coach Collins' proteges in the Davidson game Saturday.

President Jonas, who presided over the meeting, started the ball rolling and the enthusiasm, of the crowd to mounting with a short talk. He declared that the team is the University's and the student body's, whether it is winning or losing, and that it is deserving of the hearty support of every Carolina man. He deplored the wave of criticism of the team and coaches and fault-finding that has swept over the campus re cently. Frank Graham Speaks "Midseason is no time to criticize the coaches and the team and to cease support of them," he declared "It never pays to desert in midstream. Let's give them every bit of inspiration that we can during the season, and then, if they have failed to produce, after the season is over is the proper time to criticize and to think of other coaches for the next year.

It is unfair to the coaches and (Continued on page four) CAROLINA HOLD A JINX ON DUKE Tar Heels Havej Wort Every Game Since 1893 Evenly Matched for Saturday. A coveted gridiron honor that has been in the possession of the Univer' sity of North Carolina for a period of over thirty years will be at stake next Saturday afternoon at Durham when the Tar Heel eleven lines up against the strong Blue Devil aggre gation of Duke University. Not since the year' 1893 have the Methodists been able to register victory over the Tar Heel gridders The Tar Heels had not been beaten by North Carolina State for over period of five years until this year when the Techmen gave them a 19 to 6 walloping at Raleigh. And last Saturday the Tebell crew defeated Duke 20 to 18 to cop the champion ship of the state. It won't be the Tar Heel eleven that scrapped the Old Liners of Maryland to a 7 to 6 victory in a sea of moid on Emerson field or the team that met defeat at the hands of South Carolina, N.

C. State, Georgia Tech Wake Forest, V. M. and Tennessee but the rejuvenated Tar Heel eleven that last Saturday completely outplayed Dick Grey's Davidson machine and trampled them under their feet by the score of 27 to 0. Ely the law of averages it looks like the Tar Heels are due a licking at the hands of the Duke eleven, put judging by last Saturday's game, with the Wildcats the Heels, have as good a chance to win as the Devils.

The pessemist will without a doubt what do they amount to It il not an uncommon occurrence for some insignificant little college team to give a larger university a much- harder fight than an equally strong team. Take the Elon-Wake Forest game for example. It will be a scrapping Tar Heel eleven that will scrap, it out with the Devils and when the last whistle is blown it is as likely for the Tar Heels to be on the big end of the score as it is for Duke. the Tar Heel team will defend its already been checked up this season the relative strength of the other en is not known.

Meet Here CROWDS PRESENT AT DANCE HALLS Visitors Throng Chi Phi and Zeta Psi Tea Dances and Grail Hop. One of the largest crowds ever pfesent on the Old North State campus was the feature of last Saturday evening's dance program.

In fact, it was. the largest assembly of pleas ure seekers seen on the Hill since that record-breaking crowd of the night after the Davidson-Carolina football game of two years' ago. The Tar Heels' decisive victory over the Wildcats created an atmosphere of unrestrained rejoicing and celebration, and the visitors andv students turned with zest from the gridiron to the dance floor. The game was over about five o'clock, and after an intermission of one hour those invited to the Chi Phi and to the Zeta Psi tea dances assembled at the Carolina Inn and" at the Zeta Psi house, respectively, for an enjoyable two hours dancing. The Buccaneers played at the Inn and Kay Kyser and his Orchestra at the ZetaPsi house.

Both dances started the evening's program off with a whirl. Grail at' Swain Hal The two tea hops were over at eight o'clock, and soon after nine the hordes began assembling from far and near for the Grail dance in Swain Hall. The gates were almost crashed, and the men on the door had their hands full keeping the mob back. The boys surged back and forth in front ofvthe building until one by one they were kt in the dance. The dance was well attended, but there was a much larger percentage of girls present than is the usual case with dances of this type.

This fact helped the shag considerably. Kay Kyser and his Orchestra were well received. Their music won loud applause and their novelty acts were enthusiastically received. Monogram Club Honored The entire roof of. the large hall was covered with interlaced streamers of red, black, blue and white Davidson and Carolina colors.

The dance was given in recognition of the Monogram Club, and a solo waltz was held for wearers of the n. (Continued on page four) At Carolina-Virginia.
