THE SCRUBS.
Interesting Interview With Coach
McRae.
Every one realizes that to have a
winning Varsity we must have a good
scrub team, and it is impossible to
have a good scrub team unless the
men come out. It seems that the
scrub squad is getting smaller each
day and consequently the Varsity
does not have to work as they would
if our scrub team were stronger.
In an interview with Assistant
Coach McRae several days ago he
said: "For some reason the scrubs
have got it into their heads that
they should be fitted out completely
with football togs. Well, this is a
wrong idea, for the scrubs have
never been given uniforms by the
management. In the first place,
the Athletic Association can't afford
to fit them out, and in the second
place,, it has never been the custom
to do so heretofore.
"In the beginning there were
something like fifty men out, but
now there are only about eighteen
men that 1 can use on the scrubs.
It seems that they are dropping out
every day until now the squad is
very small. We. ought to have a
better scrub team and we must
have. There are plenty of big
heavy men in college and they
should come out, even if they don't
expect to make the Varsity. Every
man that plays on the scrubs is
doing that much for his college and
he deserves just as much credit as
the Varsity man.
"There is some good football
material on the scrub team and if
thev keen on trviny thev will suc-
j r j
ceed in the end."
Mr. McRae is taking a great deal
of interest in the scrub team, and if
the men come out there is no reason
why the scrubs should not soon be
what they ought a te:lm nearly
equal to the Varsity.
THE MUSICAL ASSOCIATION.
The Year is Begun With Bright
Prospects Will Play University
Day.
Those who were in college year
before last remember with a deal of
pleasure the great part played by
the musical organizations then. The
band, the orchestra, and the glee
club were all well trained, and on
every public occasion one of them
was present; no ball game or cele
bration would have been complete
without music. Unfortunately these
organizations last year could not
hold their own; they had difficulties
to overcome, the college gave them
no encouragement, and consequently
none except the orchestra held
together. Even that was seldom
heard. Happily this year promises
better things. Mr. Woollen, Presi
dent of the Musical Association and
director of the individual organiza
tions, has more time at his disposal
and will give four nights a week to
the training of the men. An excel
lent room is available for practice
every night. The piano has been
recently tuned. In fact, everything
is favorable. Mr. Woolen said in a
conversation yesterday:
"The prospects of the Musical
Association are brighter than they
have been before since I have been
connected with the University.
More men are applying- for mem
bership and the conditions are more
enthusiastic than ever. We have
now in the band fourteen members
and in the orchestra twelve. There
are about forty candidates for the
glee club. The new men are taking
a special interest iu the Association,
and some of them give remarkable
promise of development into valua
ble additions to the Association.
Undoubtedly there are more good
musicians in the college now than at
any previous time since I have been
connected with the University.
"Not only are the men mor
numerous and more enthusiastic, but
I have more time to give them as
instructor, and we have better fa-1
cilities for practice. We have got
down to hard, work and preparing
for some entertainments we hope to
give soon. Our first appearance
will be on University Day. We
need some more voices for this occa
sion. We intend then to have a
chorus of fifty voices with piano
and orchestra accompaniment. Eve
rybody who can sing at all is re
quested to come to the practices and
help us then.
"Speaking of the entertainments
we will give, some of these will be
by local and others will be by the
best companies we can get from else
where. The Schubert String Quar
tette will give a concert under the
auspices of the Association some
time during the year, perhaps in
November. This is a high priced
company and they are oue of the
best to be had. In addition to this
and other strictly musical concerts,
we are planning to have a minstrel
show by ameteurs some time this
fall. For this last we have some
unusuallly good men and we ought
to make a creditable appearance.
"That is giving" one side of the
question, what we hope and expect
to do. But there is another side.
We must have the backing of the
college. In the past we have had
but very poor support. The enter
prises that were attempted for the
benefit of the Association have met
with apathetic treatment by the
students. Last year we secured an
excellent company to give a concert
here, and got them at a reduced
rate. Instead of yielding money,
the venture put us in the hole $25.
The Association had no money to
pay it and the money came out of
an individual's pocket. If we have
such experiences this year, we wil
be unable to do anything.
"We heed now several hundred
dollar's to pay for instruments that
are almost indispensable. One of
these is a piano for the Chapel. It
is absolutely necessary to keep the
piano in the practice room, and we,
of course, cannot have our practices
in the Chapel. On the other hand,
we can hardly have an entertain
ment without a piano. To carry
the oue we now have from the prac
tice room to the Chapel lor each en
tertainment is out of the question
In short, a piano is badly needed.
Besides this, there are other instru
ments we should have for the band
We have some men who could do
fine work if we could only furnish
them with instruments. We hope
the college will help us out. Col
lectors will be sent out in a few
days to receive subscriptions, and
we hope the' may have the consid
eration of the college."
Death of a Promising Young Man
Mr. Claude Best, an alumnus of
the University, died in Chapel Hill
early last Friday morning- at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
R. R. Best. Mr. Best had been in
feeble health for several months and
his death was not unexpected,
though none the less distressing to
his friends.
He was born in Oxford, N. C, 28
years ago, but his parents moved to
Chapel Hill, where they still reside,
about ten years ago. He was for
two years a student in the academic
department of the University, and
then took two years in law, receiv
ing the degree of Bachelor of Laws
in 1899. Three years ago he went
to Texas, liere his health failed,
and he returned home late this sum
mer. "Bud", as he was affectionately
known to home folks and intimate
friends, had a sunny, gonial nature
and the news of his death will
bring a pang to the hearts of all who
knew him.
In early yonth he joined the Bap
tist Church, of which he remained
a consistent and usefui member un
til his death. The funeral services
were conducted Saturday afternoon
from the Baptist Church by Rev.
C. A. Jenkins, assisted by Rev.
M. T. Plyler. The burial services
were conducted by members of the
local order of Knights of Pythias of
which he was a member.
