The football season will then . be oyer, and the history of the team of '96 will be finished and written. Who can tell what that history will ' be? Will success or failure crown our efforts, and : reward the long months of .vigorous .training? No one can" .tell. . .Yet we can, in a measure, answer this question by working in the .meantime as men never worked, and then by going upon the field resolved to do or die. Men of the. 'Varsity, a difficult task awaits ' you. An arrogant rival must be humbled, and the reputa tion of the University of North Car olina in athletics reclaimed and ele vated. The eyes of two states are upon you, and the hearts of one will throb. proudly at. your, success, and will mourn with you in defeat. The University sends you outo repre sent her, and whatever else you do, prove loyal sons, though you may not prove victors. Four hun dred V college mates will : anxious ly await the first news, and when you return, they ' will Welcome you back proudly, whether you come conquered or as conquerors. : Keep these facts in mind and the) will serve to nerve your arm and strengthen your determination, when the struggle is fiercest. Like Nelson at Trafalgarthe Tar Heel would signal to every .'Varsity man these words, "Carolina expects every man to do his duty," and when this duty is performed, Carolina will be satisfied and feel confident that the outcome will be favorable. our contemporary will; find verified ion we will add that Texas has ; in the account of the game in any good team and has won some ini reliable Virsnnia iournal: that Pen- portant victories.

The writer, after emphatically : denying the fact as above stated, and making merry over the very idea, of any one's aspir ing to even equal the great chief, who ruled so many years in the Vir ginia wigwam, indulged in a long list of senseless boasts, which were better omitted till after the coming contest, and finally closed his bom bastic claptrap with these .. words: "We will only make one touchdown a minute in the Thanksgiving game."

The Tar Heel sympathizes with the Meds. in their trouble. The path now in use runs in every dij- rection known, and in a few. others besides, and is really dangerous on dark nights. - I Much of this work isr done at night and it is only fair that suit able arrangements for reaching this place of work, should be made. " ' Let a walk be constructed, and also swing a large incandescent lighti in that neighborhood and the gratitude of the Meds. will be bounded. , un- Dr. Winston recently addressed the students of Texas University, and the address is receiving no lit tle criticism and comment. In look ing over a synopsis of the speech, a Chapel Hill man sees nothing new but an extension and amplification of the Doctor's . chapel speeches which he delivered while he was our President. , It seems, however, that the plain, forcible" and epigrammat ic style of the President has proved quite a sensation in the Texas wil derness. , The following is an extract: , "Football is a rough game, but it. develops manhood. It sometimes breaks limbs, but a. broken limb is not a great evil. The willingness to break limbs, when need be, marks a man. A true man esteems many things more highly than life or limb.". ' It is needless tosry that the Doc tor has captured the Texas students by his championship of athletics and especially football. In this connect- beefy but nevertheless saintly mem ory. ' - ' As to the number of touchdowns' per minute the Tar HEEL cannot venture an opinion,, because we are unfortunately, denied the'prophetic abilities of our contemporary. We can say however, that there will be on that field, eleven brave,' fearless Carolinians, who will r stubbornly contest every, inch ot ground, from the time the ball is put in play till the game is over. We will also add that Capt. , Wright will be iu; that IIHV I kill V A 1 . V. . . V A J k . ' J . . V t V ager a few biownies that he will be as, successful in outplaying his opponent in this game as he was in the one a year ago. The Commons. 1 The 1AR HEEL is not surprised to learn that a large number of the boys left the Commons at the be ginning of the present month. In fact, after watching the Workings of Commons for sometime, we expect ed just this trouble, and we believe the cause may be found in two rea sons. - 1st,! poor iooa; nd, worse accomodation. It is almost impossible to get g-ooa meal at commons unless you are there promptly when the bell rings and the doors are first opened If you are somewhat late you make a meal off the cold remains, and if you are very late you pay five cents for the, meal you have previously paid the Bursar for, and get noth ing to eat besides. If you are ab sent from the Hill two or three days no deduction is made in your favor, and when you take a friend to dine with you, his meal costs twenty cents. Thus it is seen that all these rules work one way and are inflexi ble so far as the student is concern ed. ' ' -; : ; Again, there is no accomodation in the waiters. They grumble if you happen to be hungry after a hard football game and desire some dish replenished. They pay little heed to the desire of their tables and seem to have only one object in view, viz; to finish their work and get away. Of course we know the old chest nut about being on time and form ing good habits and all that sort of thing, but after one pays for his board one would like to have some little consideration and accomoda tion shown. In addition to this a man who has some refinement and taste objects into game. These are a few evils that must be eradicated from Commons if it is to play any important part in our midst. We believe in' the; principles at the base of Commons and hope that it may succeed in its endeavor to benefit , the students, but it can't expect patronage from patriotic or sentimental reasons, and must give value recieved if it would hold its crowd. ' to having his dining converted a rush and grab After seeing the three pictures in Sunday's JVezvs & Observer certain sports of Raleigh who had bet on Virginia went off and hanged them selves. Captain Wright was made to so' closely resemble "the horn bearing Povolupus of trackless and treacherous deeps" that they knew all was lost and gave up to dispair. Dr. Rnssell Bellamy, .The following clipped from t.

He' lectures both at Bellevnp and in the New York University' occupying four or five hours other day at those institutions. Be siaes oeing a general practitioner Dr, Bellamy is paying especial at tention ; to : the deseases of and to surgery. He is a favorite of the ronowned Professor Polk, in tfellevue hospital, and was also a favorite of the late Alfred L. Loomis from the same institnti' He has recently returtuH fmm special work prosecuted in the sur gical clinic of the renownprl PfpC: sor Koch in Berne, Switzerland. It was very easy to see that he was doing the work of many men of for ty, so our visit was a short one. It was learned that he contemnlafp. taking new offices near the Plazas the most beautiful portion of New York City, and although he is push ing his profession with all the vim that the severe competion of the me tropolis demands, he still finds op portunity to be present at some of the leading social functions. He is a member ot the New York crack cavalry company, Squadron A. A Trip for the Scrubs. It is an evidence of appreciation of the faithful work the Scrubs have dohe to take a Thanksgiving trip and play a game or two of foot ball for themselves. The team will leave Wednesday- morning for Wil mington where they will, play the Wilmington team Thursday after noon. From Wilmington they will return to Wilson Friday morning, play the Wilson team Friday after noon and then come home Saturday. Capt Mckee will take the following men: Herring, Pond, Canada, Har lee, Bagwell, E., Osbourne, Kluttz, Hines, Faison, Hays, Collins, Bux ton and Tate. . Everything promises a pleasant trip, especially some entertainment the people of Wilmington have pre pared. ' ' . " f In the recent Baptist State Con vention, held at Morganton, it is gratifying to note the prominence of University men, notwithstanding the prevailing element' of prejudice and jealousy .against the University that characterized its meeting. Dr. R. H. Marsh, of the class of '63, was elected president of v the Con vention. i)r. Hume was appointed president of th'e . Executive Com mittee, and Mr. J. S Wray, secre tary of the Young People s union., Dr. N. B. Cobb has for several years has, been the efficient Secre- ary1 and Statistician of the'eonven ion.: And it is due to the efforts of Dr. Hume and the late Dr. J. It- Carroll that the North Carolina Historical Society was revived and permanently established. '
