'f - I I iUo Vol. 13, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL i HILL, N. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1904. No. 5. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. HEE 3 i i 3 ANOTHER VICTORY FOR US. The Norfolk Athletic Association no Match for the Brawny Tar Heels. While the interest in last Satur day's game was not very great be cause we were not playing- a college team, everybody is very glad we won, for the result is a. new evi dence of the prowess of Carolina's team. The following- is what Coach Brown has to say of the game: "From the first it was . evident that the Norfolk team was out classed. In but two instances was it able to hold the North Carolina team for downs and when it had the ball could not gain consistently. Walsh, the old V. P. I. guard, opened "a hoje once through which a Norfofli back gained five or six yards. Gill, the Norfolk quarter,. another V. P. I. man, gained twenty yards on a fake kick. "H also carried the ball back on the kick-off for twenty yards. The Norfolk team could gain in no other attempts. . ' "The bal-js who started the game. Carpenter, Roberson and Newton, rarely failed to gain easily. Webber and Story also carried the ball well. Jacocks used better judgment in picking the weak points in the opponents' defence and his work in carrying the ball was fine. "Stewart and Seagle had an easy time with their men and repeatedly broke through and stopped plays behind the line, but Maness had a harder time with his more experi enced opponent. "The team work has improved since the South Carolina game. The linemen and backs pulled and carried the runner better than in any previous game. The backs picked their men, forming some strong interference. "Altogether the work of the team was very good. The play was fast and smooth in the first half but slow in the second because of the time taken out by the Norfolk team. V Special to Charlotte Observer. Greensboro, Oct. 22. The University of North Carolina met the Norfolk Athletic Association football team here, this afternoon at Cone Athletic Park and simply de molished them by a score of 41 to 0. The annihilation of the Virgin ians began from the time the ref eree's whistle blew and continued, with brief interruptions, until the time-keepers yelled, "Time-out." The Tar Heels excelled the boys from Norfolk in every, department, in attack, in defence, in team work, in kicking and individually. So speedy were the Tar Heels' as saults, concentrated with such rapidity of execution, and so varied were they that the boys from Nor folk were not only at sea in trying to stop them when they did gauge them, but were baffled in trying- to fathom the attack. Carolina's tre mendous strength in the rush line, a remarkable fleetness of foot on the part of the backs, mechanical team play, coupled with electrical snap and dash and physical condi tion, produced by Coach Brown, that was above the usual, served to carry the day for the White and Blue. Carolina fumbled less; than any time this season and her s team work was superb. The Norfolk aggregation has -heavy and fast material, but is sadly in i need 'of good coaching and training. They showed up miserably, both 1 offen sively and defensively. They ap peared lo want staying strength.1 Carpenter and Newton played the game for the Tar Heels, but the whole White and Blue team showed up remarkably well. GAME IN DETAIL.

Final score, 41 to 0. NORFOLK COULD NOT SCORE IN CAROLINA. The Norfolk Landmark has the following to say about the game: Owing to the coaching of Brown, who helped to bring out the crack V. P. I. team last year, and lack of training by the visitors, the Uni versity of North Carolina team de feated the Norfolk football eleven in a well played game at Cone Athletic Park, Greensboro, this afternoon by a score of 41 to 0. The spirited, plucky game put up by the visitors proved to be quite a surprise to the Carolinians, who, as soon as they saw what they were up against; got down to work, and in a game, which showed plainly their splendid football form, nut played their opponents, who, but for lack of training and team work would have made a much better showing. I Though Carolina scored ' heavily against them, this is no discredit to the Norfolkians, who made several excellent plays, the work of Barry and Webber being remarkably clever and able. Carpenter and Bear at half, for the Carolinians, played a fast, snappy game, as did Stewart at center and'Newton. who hurdled several times, but was downed after having gained many yards. Gill, quarterback; Wood ard, full back; Walsh, guard, and Upsher, end, of the Norfolk team, were in the game from start to fin ish, and executed a number of good plays which showed that they are no novices at the business. Carolina had her crack team in the field, and considering this and the fact that the Norfolkians lacked the necessary training that comes from long, steady practice, their showing is all the more creditable. The Norfolk boys are more than satisfied with their trip. They left for home to-night, having had a very enjoyable visit, and expressed themselves delighted with the cor dial treatment which they received here. North Carolina and Georgetown will meet on the gridiron at LaFay ette Park, Norfolk, Saturday, No vember 5th. The North Carolinians expect to carry a large crowd of rooters from "Down Home" for this game, who, with the large contin gent of Carolinians resident there, will cheer them on to victory.

President Venable and Professor C. Alphonso Smith addressed the State Historical Society at its meet ing in Raleigh on October 15. Dr. Venable spoke on "The University in its Relation to the History of Carolina." The subject of Dr. Smith's address was "The Average American." The speeches were reproduced in full by the Raleigh papers. Dr. Smith was the retiring president of the society. Teacher: Johnny, what can you tell me about the Anglo-Saxon race? Johnny: I don't know anything about it. I was at the ball game. The Case Tech. A KICK. The following letter was received a few days ago: Fairfield, Fla., Oct. 19, 1904. To the Editors of The Tar Heel: As an alumnus of the University of North Carolina I still take a great deal of interest in the well fare of my Alma Mater, and, though no longer a resident of North Caro lina, my college enthusiasm has not waned in the least. Feeling that I am not alone in my position ' I will take liberty of making a general kick at the way some matters are carried on in reference to the Alum ni, non-resident, I mean. Although the law requires that a child shall respect and obey its par ent, it also requires that the parent shall have some interest in its off spring. The laws of human natureare to some extent based on affection be tween mother and child, even though the child may become weaned, and live many miles distant from its par ent. Now while I am not in any shape to be of any financial assistance to my Alma Mater, still in every way that is possible I try to be of some service to her yet, though my suck ling days are over, i. e. in trying to get boys of ability and purpose to go there, and supporting her causes wherever possible, often I regret to say to my loss. Not that the loss is intrinsically much but a fellow hates to be downed. The kick I wish to make is this why is it necessary for a non-resident alumnus to have to renew by special letter his subscription to The Tar - Heel, when his name has been on the list of subscribers for seven years, or the Magazine, when he would be glad to subscribe to same if he ever had a notification of its beginning publication? Again why is it necessary for him to have to literally beg on bended knee for a copy of the annual, and then be refu.ed for reasons unknown? It of course may not be true that other non-residents may have had this experience, but there is certainly one who only gets information from his Alma Mater by a process some thing like extracting eye-teeth. A Non-resident Alumnus. The "kick" is a very reasonable one; it is. moreover, against a con dition which we hope to alter. There are two circumstances re sponsible for this state of affairs: first, lack of continuity in the man agement of the paper, and second, the little interest shown by the stu dents in the Tar Heel. Each of these points is worth considering. The "Kicker" asks that his name be put on the list of subscribers with a note that it is to stay there forever. This can be done easily but there is not much guarantee that the list and note will be seen two years from now. The paper has no centre, no base which is per manent. The accounts as kept are largely in the nature of personal Continued on 4th page.
