The revival of interest in the class foot ball teams is a good omen for the future of athletic life at the University, for it is to the material developed by the class teams that the 'Varsity must look for its main strength. Nor is this the only ben fit derived. The same quickness of judgment and skill in execution, the same "grit"', the same determina tion to, '"do or die", and the same sturdy manhood are developed no less than in games in which the Champi onship of the South is the prize. Of hardly less importance is the feeling" of loyalty and enthusiasm for the class which these games bring out. All of us in college feel the lack of such college spirit and the necessity for it, and we wel come mos heartily anything that knits the different classes more close ly together. Undergraduate Clubs. Since our last issue two Under graduate Clubs have been formed The Wayne Club was organized with the following officers: President W. F. Bryan '00 Vice P. T. A. Dewey '03 Secretaries: H. P. Stevens '02 and H. H. Broadhurst '03. Other members are Lane' Howell, Aycock, Uzzell, Weil, Person, Whitley and Gulley. The Johnston Club has the fol lowing officers and membersr President D. P. Parker '00 Vice P. J. D., Perry '00 Pharma cy. : 1st Sec. R. L. Hamilton '03 Pharmacy. 2nd. Sec. H. P. Underhill '93 Med Other members are Robertson, Eldridge, Holt, Vick and Young. It is to be deplored that there is a tendendency among the students here toward a narrowness and one sided intellectual life. An invis ible but practically impassible line seems to be drawn between the "classical" men and the "scientific' men. The former devote them selves almost entirely to History, Philosophy, the Classics, English, the other . Modern Language, etc., all very necessary to culture and begrudge the small amount of Math ematics and Physics required Such men know positively nolhing of the great world of modern science, of Geology, of Biology, of Chemis try, etc., etc., and for this reason cannot understand the forces which make and shape our modern life, and knowledge of which is equally necessary to broad-minded culture On the other hand the "scientific" men "have no use for English and Latin and all such stuff," forgetting that they, owe something to them selves beyond the mere means of earning a livelihood, and not realiz ing the necessity they are under of getting something more than bare technical education. Of course this is recognized as the age of specialists and a man should devote himself to some one line of study in order to master it, but it is also an age of liberal mindedness, and any one who restricts himself to but one line of study and thought will sure ly sooner or later realize and deeply regret his mistake. To Those Who Read. It has been the constant aim of the editors of The Tar Heel to give to thos interested in the Universi ty and its athletics, and especially to the students, a neat, well writ ten and worthy college paper This, however, they cannot hope for unless they have the steadfast support of every member of the University. This is ' lacking. At many other colleges every student pays cash down for the college pa- per wnen ne matriculates; it is their method of maintaining such a college publication. ; Here it is dif ferent, and we do not have to re sort to such means. Each student exercises his own free pleasure about the matter, and little effort on the part of the students is made toward placing the Tar Heel on any firm basis. Quite a number have never seen more than the sam ple copy sent them, others hardly know that such a thing exists in college. Many of those who sub scribe do it with reluctance, and are often equally reluctant when they are called on to "pay up." There are others who have a deep interest in the Tar Heel and are much concerned about its appear ance because it is the chief expo nent not only of our athletic life, but of general college affairs. They desire to see a creditable weekly go out from us. As long as they pretend to be University men they mean to keep in close al liance with its every organization, which no student can fail to do without going away deficient in college spirit and love for his alma mater. There ought to be no man in college without the college pa The editors receive no remunera' tion at all for their efforts, hen the tee paid is given back to tl subscribers in the copies sent then Nothing whatever is made out it,' nor is the rtccactortionalte compared to that of the publics tions of other colleges. Becam you have 'not been solicited per sor ally to subscribe is no reason wbj your name should not be on oir books, not do subscribers have an. excuse for not sending in their due The paper has to be paid for :1s each issue is printed, therefore it illogical to sav that we can wa till spring for it. Thus ' in order to relieve thost who look after its financies of mucflh unnecessary trouble, we take thn oDoortunitv to request all subscr bers to make it convenient to have their dues in as soon as possible, i : and do not wait a day, tor a creu table paper cannot be given yo X ft. without the very necessary money. y Sophs Victorious. The game last Friday between th Sophomores and Juniors was an ex hibition of very good foot-ball for class teams. The only question i: the game was ' who had the ba 1 The side that had the bail wou gain ground on every rush. J The Sophs kicked oft in the nrfc half and the Juniors brought tie ball steadily up the field with verfy little fumbling, until they got witi- in the Sophomores 5 yard lint where the latter braced up ait tookthe ball on downs. Worjl punted for the Sophs, but the Jti niors brought it back only to te fumbled, and kicked out again This time the Juniors made a des perate effort and sent Woltz over . for a touchdown. But Hobtys missed an easy goal. Score Juniors 5; Sophs 0; In the second half the Sophs saw that to win, they must hold their opponents for a few downs and qo some steady team work themselves. So on the kick-off they brought the ball down the field very- fiercely, but were soon forced to kick. At which time Worth made-one of tile prettiest punts of the season. The Juniors held the ball, foria short while, but it soon went ovr on downs. Then the Sophs get to gether and after several steady gains, they send Brown around left end for a touchdown, "."orth kicks goal. Time is called before anything could be accomplished by either side. Score Sophs 6; Juniors 5. Book Table Talk The "College athlete" after a prolonged summer siesta makes its reappearance with a November number as a factor in undergra duate literature. The Harvard- Yale team in England, Some Ath- etic Problems, College and Pro essional Baseball are the longer articles. Football, as the season grows to a climax, gets more and more aToss the vision of the public eytfand the Transvaal is having 'rather diffi cult matter ofitm occupying the columns in Jjffrepapers. The New York Sungives the best resumes of he wqp of the different teams; and t Jun the resume's that we now Wxi our trust since ' the disastrous collapse of the expert-prophecies. (See Walter Camy in the Novem ber Outing.) I From the latest lot of books that came to the Library we were quick enough to get first call. on "Active Service" by Stephen Crane. Aside from the fact that it is a stirring story of the Late Grecian War told in Crane's usual fascinating style, there is additional interest from tne tact that it is dedicated to Wr Eben Alexander, of the department of Greek. Mr. Crane was serving as a war correspondent and came ia contact with Dr. Alexander as United States Minister. The lat ter was in a position to show him many courtesies and favorsand the acquaintanceship ripened into warm friendship. To say a word about the story, it starts in an American college town and hurries over to Greece with a professor, a beautiful daugh ter and a group of students. Whither follows the editor of the N. Y. Sunday Eclipse, whom the professor is seeking to separate by seas from his charming daughter. They have: a great many adven tures that are stirring with inter est, happy in issue and therefore very pleasant to read. We note two educational articles of interest in the current periodi cals. ' The svmposium "Mndp jl Education: Does it Educate in tht Broadest and Most Liberal Sense of the Term" is contributed in this month's Cosmopolitan by President Hadley of Yale. "Freshman at Nineteen" is the subject of an in- terestingarticle in the November Educational Review. The writer urges reform in what he considers late preparation for college. "The best part of a man's life is spent in the college walls. We get into the. professions at twenty- four and seven, abroad they lead as by two or three years." In the November number of the Century begins the long promised Life of Cromwell by Hon. John Morley. It will be a biography of considerable pretense from every point of view, and will hold a prom inent place as a magazine feature throughout the coming year. A ife of Cromwell is announced for 1900 by Scribner's Magazine also. Messrs. E. N. Jovner, J. P. Ir?u and E.
