J. Evans) Charlotte High School, football champions of the west will invade the lair of Sanford High School, champions of the east, this afternoon, and on Emerson field will stage the greatest high school football battle of the year. The two aggregations are scheduled to swing into action promptly at 2 :30. This year's championship game is unique in one respect. Both estern and western representatives were favorites to annex their -respective titles long before the championship series started and in spite of the hundreds of other sporting upsets, Charlotte and Sanford the real class of North Carolina football beyond a doubt successfully survived the onslaughts of the numerous dark horses that barred their road to the finals here today.

When two favorites meet in any test of strength, the battle is always memorable for its fierceness and vkiousness witness the Army and Navy clash a scant week ago, and 5 :30 this afternoon, when the game is over, a new outstanding chapter will be written in the annals of high school athletic contests.

The easterners in particular have a splendid list of victories by which their strength may be indicated.

Their margin of victory in the conference race was the largest in the history of the Southern In addition, Carolina has met and defeated rather easily the teams from Duke and State College. The freshman team, although its record is not as impressive as the Varsity, has an untarnished slate of victories to show for its strength to date.

The Conference is held annually in New York with the object of bringing together representatives from colleges and universities throughout the country, of discussing fraternity and Interfraternity problems, and of determining the best principles under which these bodies should act.

At the conference this year there were present delegates from forty-two institutions, varying in location from Leland-Stanford in the West to Miami in the South and Syracuse in the North. A great many of the problems discussed were of a nature entirely foreign to any that are present on our campus; of this type a typical example is (Continued on page four) concert of the year Sunday afternoon in Memorial Hall at 4:00 P.M.
