ATHLETICS
Prospects of Team, Interview
Coach, Tentative Schedule.
of
The despondency which enveloped
the football enthusiasts upon their
return to college is fast disappear
ing before the promising develop
ment in the team. The arrival of
the coach naturally, had a tendency
to restore cenfidence, but the pros
pects for a fast team are more ap
parent than the most sanguine had
hoped for. Candidates for the team
are still numerous, thirty or forty
are in suits most afternoons, and
new men continue to come out.
One thing- more in evidence now
than at an earlier period is the in
creased weight of the material.
This is as it should be; the large
men should be especially urged to
come out. While they need not
neccessarily be superior to the light
men, the preponderance of matter is
undoubtably in their favor.
TV.P wnrk of the class teams
comes into prominence this season.
Men who were not considered as
football , material some weeks ago,
are pushing themselves to the front
and unless indications belie us, Did
fair to become star players.
This would not be possible except
for the training received on the
class teams.
This is the important stage with
the football eleven it is the forma
ti ve period and what the team is to
be, must to a great extent be deter-
-a ; ripxt. few weeks. Ihe

students of the University should
bear this in mind and see that all
the support is given that the oc
demands. If the best men
are not out soon, it will be too late
After a certain stage in practice is
reached, it is at a' great disadvan
tap-e that new men are trained.
In an interview, the Coach said
in substance; "Although materia
u,o fircf team is assured, the
LKJl b&J V V "
8-reat problem is whether we wil
be able to get men out to practice
the first team. Up to the present
time, it has been a matter of prayer
to e-et men capable of playing to
put on suits. The making of the
team depends on this.
"The team should show at the
end of each week a certain amount
of development, and this develop
ment should correspond to the time
of the season.
"The coming ten days should be
devoted to the training of green men
in the rudimentary principles of the
game. Every moment spent after
that time, at this work, will be at
the saciifice of the general good of
of the whole team.
"There is good fighting material
here, but we are not after a fight
ing team only but a finished team
as well. Whether we get this or
not depends upon the responce of
the students to the preliminary
n nmsoects for a line are

The coach especilly insists that
the students do. not crowd too near
the players, but stay behind the
sidelines.
It is well for a large number of
spectators to come out and encour-

done more effectively from the side
lines than from crowds that hem in
the team. The captain and coach
have their hands full and no unnec
essary trouble should be thrust up
on them.
Manager Whitehead was seen
to-day and he gave out the follow
ing, as the scheduled games for the
season:
Oct 12, Oak Ridge at Chapel
Hill.

Nov. 4, Auburn Pol. Institute at
Auburn. Ala.
Nov. 16, Georgetown at Wash
ington, D. C
Nov. 26 U, of Va. at Norfolk.

Mr. Whitehead has shown good
judgment in the arrangement ot
this schedule; it is all we could
ask.
Meeting of Junior Class.
The Junior class held an impor-
tant meeting Monday alternoon.
President Everett called the class to
order and explained the object of
the meeting to hear the report of a
committee that had been appointed
at a previous meeting to draw up
some resolutions in regard to haz
Rpfnre Mr. Ferrell, chair-
-
man of the committee, read the res
olutions, President Everett made a
few remarks. He said that the
Hm. had come when the Junior
class to take a decided stand
against hazing, that these practices
were hurting the Univtrsity, that
the University was too large for
these relics of a ruder age.
Mr. Perrell then read the resolu
tions denouncing and condemning
hazing and suggesting a plan by
which it could be broken up
Whenever there is reasonable , evi
dence that a student has taken part
in hazing as defined in a previous
article he is is to be brought before
a tribunal. This tribunal is to be
composed of nine students, four o
them from the Senior class, three
fmm t.ViP Junior and two from the
. s a a v
Sophomore class, and to have ful
power to expel the student it he is
found guilty.
Different sections of the resolu
tions were fully explained by mem
bers of the committee. Mr. McKae
spoke of the importance of passing
the resolutions and urged the class
to do so at once.
A motion to accept the resolutions
was put before the house and car
ried by a large majority.
Cheating on examinations was
aUn denounced and condemned.
Anvone suspected of this dishonor
able practice will be reported to
the tribunal.
It is indeed encouraging to see
the student body taking charge of
such things as these and saying
hat there must be a stop to them.
The Sophomore class held a
meeting later in the afternoon and
adopted similar resolutions.
THE YACKETY YACK-DIS-CUSSED.
At the request of the Literary
Societies, a conference committee
composed of representatives from
each society and fraternity, met
ast Saturday afternoon to look into
the financial condition of last year's
Yackety Yack, and to report on the
advisability of again entering: into
the s"Eme organization for its publi
cation. Mr. E. P. Gray was called
to the chair, and at his request, Mr.
S. J. Everett stated the object ot
the meeting.
Mr. Drane, Business Manager of
ast year, the fraternity representa
tive on the managing board, address
ed the meeting vv'th regard to last
year's Yackety Yack. According
to his showing, last year's manage
ment figured on a considerable
profit. Two things prevailed thus:
an unavoidable misrepresentaaion of
part of the contract made the book
cost very considerably more than
was intended; and the late appear
ance of the book caused a great loss
in its disposal to the students. By
another board, profiting by the ex
perience of the last one, the . nrst
mistake would be avoided, and all
of its nature; and immediate organi
zation and work would insure the
appearance of the annual at any
Hatp desired next Soring, lhus
more could be saved, and more made,
in another publication of the Yack
ety Yack than was the case last
year, and financial success would be
a certainty. In addition to this, he
claimed, a better book could be put
out should work be begun at once.
the increased time giving the oppor
tunity for the preparation of more,
and better material to select from,
both in the way of art, and litera
ture. '
As to the financial status of last
year's book, he stated that the pub
1iVi:r han he.en . raid in mil. and
that the only debt was a note o
$45.00 held by the Bank of Chape
Hill, due Nov. 18. Collections
which are to come in, together with
the cash on hand, brings the amount
to be raised, down to about $20.00
There are enough copies left on
hand, sold at $1.00 each, to cover
this amount, and bring the publi
cation out clear of debt.
After a discussion, Mr. Everet
moved that the conference commit
tees, -report favorably to their res
pective organizations for the publi
cation of the Yackety- Yack, as
before, and recommend that the
Pflifnrs he elected at once. This
motion was seconded by Mr. Short,
and then passed unaminously.
Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Lassiter, of
Oxford, N. C, were in Chapel Hill
last week visiting their sons, R. G.
Lassiter, '02 and Benj. Lassiter, '05.

more classes at meetings held dur

before, and it is hoped adopted by,
the above mentioned classes.
