Baptists To
Ask Hospital
Fund Sunday

Winston Salem, Oct 23.-The Bap-
fist hospital campaign to raise $780,
900 will reach its focal point thro-
ughOut the State next Sunday when
Hospital Sunday will be observed by
all Baptist churches. The churches
will take a special contribution to
help pay for the enlargement Of the
hospital, to which patients come from
every county in the State.
I'VE Baptists simply cannot afford
to let this challenge pass by with
out meeting it," said the Rev. d. H.
the Pilot Mountain Association.
"Thanks to a generous gift by a non
Baptist group, the Bowman Gray
Foundation, enough money has been
entrusted to Baptist hands to pay
for the construction of a new medical
school at Salem by Wake
Forest College and its maintenance.
When that gift was made it was with
the understanding that the hospital
on whose grounds the medical school
will be built would be enlarged.
"This will enable the hospital and
the medical school to cooperate in
treating the sick and suffering of our
State, in the creation Of nurses, and
in making surgeons and physicians
out OF our boys and girls.
But even if the medical school
was not being moved to Winston
Salem, the hospital would have to
be enlarged. 1t is SO OVercrOWded
that it daily turns away as many
patients as it admits A large proper
ton of the patients come from every
where throughout the State. This is
therefore q double challenge to the
Baptist denomination, which we can
not hOnOrably let go by"
! In addition to the special collec-
| ton on Sunday, local committees
throughout North Carolina are MAX
ing personal calls on prospective
large contributors. The volunteers
solicitors are pointing out that this
is the sort of contribution one makes
once in a generation, for capital ex-
penditure in a building that remains
instead of merely for support, which
is the character of annual cOntribu-
tons.
Obviously a gift Of lifetime diff
fers in scope and size from one that
has to be received each year. A pop
ular form of gift is expected to be
what has come to be known as
living memorial" individuals and
organizations will pay for the con-
struction Of some designated part of
the building in honor Of some be-
loved Individual or institution, such
as a church This kind of memorial
continues the usefulness of a per-
son even after he or she passes on,
in contrast with cold epitaphs.

day 22-7.

Chapel Hill, Oct. .23.-Carolina's
footbaflers may nave thought the
Tulane Green Wave about the rAost
massive and powerful ihing they
ever saw on a football field, but
the Pennsylvania eleven they meet
in their next test Saturday is even
digger and heavier.
Although the Tulane line aver
agedd 206 pounds to Pennsylvania
200 the Quaker backs outweigh the
Greenies 1876 to 1870, and the whole
eleven averages an amazing 1913 1-2
pouno to 1856 1-2 for Tulane.
And so the beleaguered Tar
Heels, just back this morning from
their meeting with the Giants Of
the South, must hit the grind again
this afternoon for Saturdays battle
with the Giants of the North.
Up 10 the Tulane 14-14 deadlock,
Carolina had had straight row Of
victories, beating Citadel 500,
Wake Forest 1915, V. P. }. 1876, and
New York U. AT. Pennsylvania,
which also had a tough battle Sat-
urday, defeating Harvard 22-7, de
feated Lafayette 60 and Yale 60 in
it's 'irst Two starts.
Coach Jim Tatum, who knows
Pennsylvania we'll from his old
days at Cornell and who secuted
those two games, declared today
that the Quakers had perhaps as
much sheer man-pOWer as any team
in the East.
"Theyve played good, sound
winning football, he declared
"They Just haven't tried to score
much, choosing to get a lead ano
play it safe instead. When they open
up, there's no telling what they
can do. And when they hit Their
peak, they may be one Of the tough
est elevens in the country.
"They certainly have everything
it takes, Coach Tatum continued
''The squad is packed with power
speed, and versatility. 1t has some
vi the biggest, fastest backs in the
country with two backfields almos'
Oh a par This Frank Reagan is one
Of the greatest backs [ ever saw
and Ed Allen at the other half is
also triple threat, SO they can run
pass, or punt from either slot"
Reagan, who leads the attack, by
the way, is the "baby'' in the start
ing lineup at 1875 pounds. One end
Warner, also weighs 1876, anc
Brech-ka, a guard, 1873. But the
