root-Ball Criticism.
Below will be found a criticism of
kach week, hereafter, their playing
jwill be noted, and we hope that
leach man will dp his best to correct
fhis faults and that much improve
ment will be made.
Sharpe snaps the ball back very
irregularly, does not charge his
man hard enough, follows very
poorly. Very little improvement;
Collier gets off side . very often,
starts before the ball is snapped
and gets' between center and quar
ter before the ball is snapped, and
tackles too easy. No improvement.
Wright does not charge his man
hard enough, runs too high with the
ball. Improving in tackling, fol
lows the ball better, and gets into
more plays.
Baivd does not follow the ball
and does not get low when breaking
up inte rf erence. Tackles lo we r at
times.
Carson does not use his head,
easily boxed and charged, tackles
too high, slow runner and does not
follow the ball. '
Gregory slow getting down in
field on a kick, allows Interference
to charge him back, must look after
the team more on infield. Very lit
tle improvement.
Walker allows ' interference to
smother him and ; half-back to go
around . his end often, - does - not
follow the ball. Improving a.
little in meeting his interference.
Butler has been hurt most of the
week and no noticeable improve
ment. Moore gives play away by start-
ing too soon, catches poorly, tack
light. Follows the ball a little bet
ter, and pays more attention to busi
ness. Nicklin follows the ball poorly,
does not get low when tackling man
with interference, and talks too
much on the field.
Whitakcr has not been in condi
tion and has not played enough to
show any improvement.
White snaps the ball poorly of
ten hitting his legs, does not charge
his.man, tackles poorly, and does not
follow the ball. No improvement.
Allen does not watch, his man or
the ball enough, charges too blindly
and does not follow the. ball. No
improvement.
McAlisterzX quarter-back follows
the ball poorly, and when passing
the ball gets in the way of runner
hands the ball instead of passing.
Winston does not follow the ball,
tackles too high and allows the run
ner to go around his end often.
Meets the interference very hard
and tackles pretty well when run
ner is around.
Staple allows his man to charge
him back does not follow the ball,
and does not go hard enough and
low enough, at the interference. Jle
is seldom boxed.
Rogers fumbles, and loses Bis
head at times. Has improved in
tackling. '
McRae fumbles,, allows the ball
ito twist after leaving his hand be
fore fritting his foot, easily dodged,
.Doeshot hit the; end hard, or take
him back, starts quickly and runs
hard; .
firaywi has not been. out.
Hqywaod catches poorly, does
not use his head when running with
tjie ball. Starts quickly and runs
well,
Same new men will be mentioned
next week,
The1 team in general has improved
in tackling, the backs, on running a
little lower.
Around the ends the backs show
very little judgement in turning in
and but. There is much more fumb
ling than last week. Men talk too
much on the field, except Gregory
who doesn't talk enough. The
men do not charge, give plays
away and do not follow the ball
well enough.
The students must stay outside of
the foul lines, and the players must
report for practice 4:30 sharp each
day. :
Ppsters are up (announcing that
Bropks and Macy will be here next
Tuesday night, Oct 15. It is a
departure in our style?bf entertain
ments to have two lectures at once
and no doubt a pleasant evening is
thereby doubly assured. -
Macy is quite a comic singer we
understand as well as humorist,'
while Brooks combines peotry with
humor. The entertainment will
evidently be mainly humorous. This
kind specially suit college men as
they see so much of the serious side
of life and happy diversions are
very acceptable.
Brooks and Macy travel together.
Prom here they go to Charlotte
wher they open the Star Course of
lectures given by the Y. M; C. A.
this year. Brooks has been to
Charlotte before and some of the
students who heard him there speak
of him quite highly.
A Y, M, C. A. Building is great
ly needed here. We are glad the
proceeds go to that purpose.

The Year is well started now
and tfaose who are interested in the
Hellenian .'should begin on it soon.
The Hellenian is improving' each
year,- but it is still very faf from
what it ought to be. There are
two reasons for this. In the first
place, the work has always been be
gun too late, the fraternities have
put off ' electing their editors and
they have not started to work when
elected until just in time to get the
book out before commencement;
secondly, the work has always been
confined to a few; of the editors Who
had to do it ail with little help from
the rest of the board and none from
the rest of the college.
Both these '"evils 'might be reme
died; the first by electing1 the edit
ors now, and the second, by electing
the right kind of editors. And in
electing your editors elect a man
who has some ability lor the work
and, most important of all, one who
is willing o 4o it; for it takes work
to get out a creditable annual.
In past years, most of the work
done jn connection with the Hellen
ian ! has been done by the twp men
who wanted to be Ejditof-in-chief,
and when one pf them got elected
each editor seemed to think that the
days of his usefulness were oyer
and the work stopped. We pertain
ly hope that the new board 'of edit
ors will be elected soon and that
they will realize the necessity pf
starting to work at once. We have
plenty "of time' now and plenty of
talent to get put a good annual, so
let's do it.
