We have met the enemy and

however and blessed are they
who expect nothing for verily
they shall not be disappointed.

We can see by the comparatively
mall score of Lehigh against us
that our men played good ball,

all.
I However we are making tra

to spring into the first rank in
foot ball in one year; in two
years, nor may we in five years,
put through our defeats we learn
wisdom. Some one has said that
Duly a fool bumps his head twice

adventurer when he has worn
his spurs, but the great badge of
honor is withheld until he has

are young and require the expe

with foes worthy of our steel to
enable us to have confidence
under their severest fire, and our
ability to bring our best resourc

of tremendous exertion. We
must have traditions, hard-won
games to point to us, showing the
merit or demerit of this or that
system of play. Tradition must
imbue our players with the spirit

Talk of college spirit, why just

every one cheering them when

MEMORIAL EXERCISES FOR
DR. C. F. DEEMS.
Exercises were held in the
chapel last Tuesday in memory
of Dr. Chas. F. Deems, once a
professor in this institution.
The services were opened with
a fervent prayer by Dr. hume,
after which Dr. Battle paid a
most touching tribute to the
memory of the deceased. Dr.
Battle was well fitted for the
occasion as he was in attendance
upon theJectures of Dr. Deems,
while astudeht at the Universi
ty and saw much of the charact er
and personality of that Divine.
When the doctor had concluded
the choir led by Prof. Harrington,
sang "Integei Vitae," and Dr.
Carroll pronounced the benedic
tion. Directly over the rostrum
hung a large portrait of Dr..
Deems, draped heavily in black
The 'Possum Hunting Club'
had a supper and banquet last
Friday night, The menu con
sisted of four large fat 'possums
cooked with "taters," and serv
ed in Geo.Trice's finest Delmonico
style. The feast was enjoyed by
eleven of the hunters, and toasts,
jokes, cigars and whist kept up
the fun to a late hour.
The club has had several
nights of very fine sport, and
with Davis and his good old
hound, never fail to score one or
more of the grinning marsu
pials. Several more hunts and
a final feast will be had before
long.
During the past week the em
ployees of Mr. Samuel White of
Mebane, have been engaged in
putting up large support timbers
for the two large tanks situated
on the fourth floor of the south
building. The braces are very
heavy, and extend to the first
floor, completely preventing atiy
accident which might have be
fallen had the former props giv
