C, as second-class mail-matter. : We have heard that a new pa per known as the Southern College Student has been started. As this will serve to bring- more union and sympathy between the different col leges and Universities, The Tar Heel extends to it its best wishes for present success and a happy future. Dr. Chas. Baskerville's article on '"The Determination of Zirconium by Means of Zirconium Chloride" read before the Elisha Mitchell Sci entific Society last spiring- and pub lished in its Journal, has been, re published in full in the London Chemical News. We note also that Prof. Cobb's pa per upon the "Influence of the Earth's Rotation in the Deflection of Streams" has been reprinted, f rom the Mitchell Journal in the Berlin ' Zeitschrift fur praktische Geologic The old students have greatly missed the saintly presence and kindly words of interest of Dr. Wil liams, father of Mrs. Gore, who was calle'd during- the summer to pass over the riveand take up his place in that rest which remaineth for the people of God. We all remember with . love and gratitude his deep feeling- for the welfare of the boys, which led him to take an interest in all that interested them, and espe cially in their spiritual well being. Those who have heard his clear, di rect words of warning and advice given in his Y. M. C, A. and Chapel talks can never forget them, nor the kind christain gentleman whose life and example added so much force to his precepts. ; ' Foot Ball in the State. Trinity College has organized a team, with Plato Durham, for sev eral years right end, as captain, and Alex Green as manager. Steps are being taken to secure a trainer. It is said that they have some prom ising material and have gone to work with a will. . The season lias opened at the Ag ricultural and Mechanical College with thirty-five men in training. Joel D. Whitaker of Raleigh is cap tain. Much interest is being taken in the game both by the college stu dents and the citizens of Raleigh. The young men of Charlotte and of Durham have organized teams. W. R. Robertson, ex. '95, captain of our '94 base ball team, will play be hind the line on the Charlotte team. All alumni should subscribe for the " Tar Heel. . -- .-J ;: v ..

Would it not be a good idea for the Professor of Geology to take his class out rock-picking and specimen collecting on the foot-ball ground? The advantages are obvious. It would save a long tramp, a large number of specimens could be easily secured and surgical operations would not be necessary to extract the pebbles out of the undermost man in the scrimmage. Bring on your champion rock-pickers, Pro fessor. Cannot the crowd of on-lookers show their interest by keeping off the field and so giving the players plenty of room for their practice. It isv very unfair to those who remain on the benches or keep beyond the boundary lines, and it retards the work of the trainers who are strug gling with difficulties already. Our new Professor of Greek, Dr. Ball, has given good proof that he is one of the right sort. . Nearly every afternoon finds him on the grounds, watching with interest all that goes on and aiding most mate rially in the training by advice and j by hard work among the boys. - The New Foot-Ball Rules. The greatest changes in the new rules are those regarding fouls, the time of the halves, and the abolish ing of mass-plays. We give below the three rules referring to this: Rule 16. (a) The time of a game is seventy minutes, each side play ing thirty-five minutes from each goal. There shall be ten minutes intermission between the two halves. The game shall . be decided by the final score at the end of even halves. Either side refusing to play after being ordered to by the referee, shall forfeit the game. This shall also apply to refusing to commence the game when ordered to by the referee. The linesmen shall notify the cap tains of the time remaining not more than ten nor less than five minutes from the end of each half. RULE 26. (b). The penalty for fouls or violation of rules, except where otherwise provided, shall be, when the offending side has the ball, the immediate surrender of it to the opponents for a down, or when the offending side has not the ball the advance of the ball ten yards. In this, as in other penalties of a sim ilar nature, if the distance given would carry the ball across the goal line, only half the intervening dis tance shall be given. Rule 30. (c). No momemtum-mass plays shall be allowed. A momen tum mass play is one where more than three men start before the ball is put in play. Nor shall more than three men group for that purpose more than five yards back of the point where the ball - is put in play. It certainly should be gratifying to both players and students that at last the official foot-ball guide should contain the picture of one of our play ers. Kirkpatrick won annviqble reputation for himself last year. The scores made by the team are also there, and the fact that they have come to be of enough importance to be published along with those of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and many others, should be an impetus to our men to play all the harder and make a better showing to be put in next time. Rev. Mr. Towers to Leave us. We greatly regret to learn that the Rev. Frederick Towers, Rector of the Chapel of the Cross for the last two years, intends giving up his charge here very shortly and moving North with his family. Mr. Towers will be greatly missed by his parishioners and his going is a serious loss to the community. His scholarly sermons have both, attracted and instructed the students of the University and he has shown himself their friend in many ways. Among his own people it will be very difficult to fill his place. Certainly they will have to look far before they can find so acceptable a pastor. We wish to express to him our thanks for his faithful services here and our best wishes for his welfare wherever his lot may be cast. The subscription price of the Tar Heei, for the present will remain at $1.50 for the nine months of publica tion, seventy five cents for each session. Send in your subscription to Harry Howell or Jas. A. Gwynn, Business managers. .; Y. M. C. A. Reception. A rather new departure was taken by the members of the Y. M. C. A in the shape of a reception given the new students in the Gymnasium on the first Saturday night of the ses sion. There can be no better proof of its success than the fact that every one is desirous of a repetition next year. " The new men began to gather about eight o'clock while the old came a little later. Some time was spent in pleasant chats, each man introducing himself to his neighbor, when the members of the committee Were too busy to perform that duty for them. The members of the faculty and friends of fM University were present and everj attempt was made to give the new! comers a welcome and make themj feel at home at the very start. Printed slips were given out, on which were the words of that beau tiful poem "Dear University," and when Prof Harrington began the air of "God Save the Queen'' manj enthusiastic voices were found tc join in the singing, while many that could not carry the tune, read th words to a "joyful noise." After a while Mr. Stephens, Pre ident of the Association, took his stand on the steps near the band which was provided for the occasion and after giving some words o welcome he called on Mr. Hernial Home to continue the remarks whicl he had started. Mr. Harris, Secre tary of the University, who has hat much experience in Y. M. C. A work was the next on the program e was followed by an alumnuso the University, Mr. Rondthalei who very graphically described hi first reception into the Universit and compared it to the receptiJ the new men. Dr. Hume, who fl one of the founders of the Y. M.H A. at the University of Virgini and through that one of the founder of the college Y. M. C. A. in tl United States, next told somethin of that work which has since reache such great proportions. Dr. Wii ston next showed his enthusiasm f( the Univefsity and how it was tt greatest desire of his life to make! reach out its good works still fa ther than at present and to eleva still higher the education of the pe! pie of North Carolina. j After he had finished his talk r freshments were served, and whi this was going on, the members j last year's Glee Club sang a few ' their well known selections. T meeting was a great success and t members of the Y. M. C. , A. w made the arrangements are to congratulated for the pleasant tii given to all, both old and new. Intructor Wills. Mr. Geo. S. Wills, Ph. B. 1880. turns to his alma mater as instructor English. Since graduation hc been engaged as assistant i n the C Ridge Institute where he has mad fine reputation as a teacher. Mr. Wills teaches the four sect! of the Freshman Class. We are gj to see him in the Faculty and the b speak highly of his instruction..
