No. 11.
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ! ASSOCIATION.
MASS MEETING.
Awarding of Sweaters Watch Pre
sented to Captain Stewart.
A mass meeting was held in the
Chapel Monday night to award
sweaters to the men who' had won
them this year and also for the col
lege to show its appreciation to
Captain Stewart for what he has
done here in athletics. After a few
fitting remarks by Major Cain to
the team Mr.' H. M. R. Jonus pre
sented Mr. Stewart with a gold
watch in behalf of the
body.
Mr. Jones said: "I was
ure and from the applause that
received from the- students was
very favorable one with them..
a
student
glad to
see the way the student body re
ceived this team when it came back
from Richmond. It showed a spirit
here that we have been wanting for
sometime. But to-night we want
to show to the man who has done
more for athletics here than any
other man since he has been on the
team our appreciation of what he
nas done tor this team as its cap
tain. And so the student body
wishes to present this watch to
Captain Stewart." In reply Mr.
Stewart spoke of how much he ap
preciated the gift of the watch. He
said: "This watch might be bought
for money. But the appreciation
shown in this gift cannot be meas
ured in money. Every man by his
conduct tries to win the praise of
his fellowman. If this watch is a
token of your praise to me as cap
tain of your team, I am the happiest
man in the world to-night. If it is
my privilege to be back next year I
will do my best to make the very
best manager of the football team
that 1 am able, as the Advisory
Committee has seen fit to elect me
to that position. I do not sa7 that
I will treat the team better than
any other manager, or that I will
get a better schedule of games than
any other mauager, but I do say
that if I come back, I will do all in
my power as manager for the team
and that is all any man can do.
Again l thank you witii all ot my
heart for this watch."
Next Mr. C. M. Carr read out
the names of the men who were en
titled to wear N. C. sweaters.
They were Messrs. Webber, Story,
Seagle, Maness, Barry, Bear and
Carpenter. Mr. Carr also stated
that the Advisory Committee had
decided to start a new custom this
year in awarding the sweaters:
About Luck in the Game. A Few
Figures. J' .
Last week College Topics print
ed the following article under the
heading, "Hard Luck Story, They
Declare":
" 'The Carolina students had the
most enthusiastic meeting Saturday
in Gerrard Hall that has been held
here in raaiiv vears. to welcome the
slightly defeated team and learn the
name of the captain for 1905,' says
the Times-Despatch. It was such
a magnificent welcome that a tri
umphal aggregation, would have en
vied it: Though the White and Blue
slightly failed to remain for another
year'the champions of the South by
only one point, the whole student
body backs them with a spirit
which is indeed lovely. That the
victory for Virginia was a hard
luck story ; for- Carolina is well
known. The failure of Carolina to
kick the first goal lost the game.
" 'It was the first goal Barry had
missed this fall. In the game Caro
lina advanced the leather 323 yards
by end runs and line plunging,
while Virginia carried it only 276
yards. On kicking Carolina booted
the ball 504- yards, Virginia 255
yards. Many speeches were made
to-night, notably by Coach Brown
and Messrs. Stewart, Carpenter,
Webber and Barry. Professor J.
W. Gore spoke for the faculty.
Captain Stewart announced that
the team had unanimously elected
C. ; Hunter Carpenter, Carolina's
all-Southern right halfback, as
captain of the 1905 football team.
This announcement liberated a pan
demonium of applause that lasted
fully ten minutes. Captain Car
penter made an; interesting speech
concerning the bright prospects for
1905. The University is more than
atisfied at his election.'
"The figures given above are en
tirely incorrect. A careful calcu
lation compiled, from, several dif
ferent accounts of the game gives
the following figures: By rushing
the ball from line-up Virginia
covered 236 yards, Carolina 155: in
running back kicks Virginia made
98 yards, while the Tar Heels made
in this way only 61. Carolina was
penalized 40 yards, Virginia 20.
Exclusive of several tries for goal,
that starting with this year the the Tar Heels kicked 388 yards, in

His sweater. This is a new depart- "The story of the game is told in
the following table: Carolina, with
the wind and grade made a touch
down in 34 minutes and 20 seconds;
Virginia made the next touchdown,
having the wind and grade with
her, in 5 minutes; Carolina with the
wind and grade, made the next
touchdown in 25 minutes and 20
seconds; Virginia, with the wind
and grade, made the last touch
down; in 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
"Cue of Carolina's scores was the
direct result of a fumble, the other
an error in judgment. Both of
Virginia's came after carrying the
ball the entire length of the field,
without losing it at all, by straight
football. The second time, not
once was a third down required. It
is hard to see how the Tar Heels
figure a hard luck story from this
Undoubtedly Webber's slapping the
ball over the bar was lucky, but it
only served to place the victory
where it belonged."
There is evidently a mistake
somewhere; in fact several of them
We have made a careful calculation
and summary of the game from
figures we have perfect confidence
in. Colleg-e Topics and the cor
respondent of the Times-Despatch
have no doubt an equal confidence
in theirs. Here is the result of our
calculation: ---
CAROLINA VIRGINIA
Rushes 197 183
Kicks 482 396
Kicks returned 94 102
Thrown for losses 10 11
The Tar Heel did not publish
these figures or the account of the
mass meeting in which the opinions
of the student body were so clearly
expressed. We did not care to lay
ourselves open to the accusation of
trying to make the world believe
we had entirely outplayed the Vir-
TTT 1 t . m
ginians. we oo not believe that
our team was the only team in Rich
mond on Thanksgiving and we do
not care for anybody else to believe
hat it was incomparably superior
to Virginia's. Virginia earned every
joint she won except the decisive
one. Carolina earned everything
she got. Luck is in the trame and
must be reckoned 'with. When a
team wins a game by honorable
playing and good luck, she is en
titled to be hailed as the victor.
Virginia has done this and Carolina
calls her victor. But the fiirurea
tand and Carolina is proud of
them.
Dr. Hume will deliver his semi
annual address before the Oxford
Shakespeare Club next Saturday
evening. His subject will be "Com

THE YACKETY YACK.
Mr. J. V. Howard to be Edltor-in-i
Chief Important Changes in
the Financial Plans.
The societies and fraternities
have renewed the Yackety Yack
j stipulations for this year and have
made some important amendments.
The experience of four years has
shown that the prices charged for
the book and for space in it have
been too small to make the publica
tion a financial success. On this:
account it was decided to raise the
price of the book to $2.00 and of
cuts to $12.50; the charge for
pirinted matter was proportionately
increased. It is expected that this
will enable the board of editors to
make the Yackety Yack a financial
success and to get out a better one
than has been published heretofore.
The stipulations are not to go into
effect until two hundred subscrip
tions, with a cash payment of $1.50
on each, have been made.
; There is bright prospect for a
good Yackety Yack. Mr. J. V.
Howard, who has been elected -EJditorrin-Chief,
has . had; editorial ,
experience on. both the Tar HEEL.
and Magazine boards. Some of
the assistants are also men of expe
rience and ability. With proper
support from the student body they
will produce a book which will do
credit to the University.- The; fol
lowing are the assistant editors:
Phi. Messrs. J. K. Wilson, J.
W. Winborne and J. S. Kerr.
Di. Messrs. F. M. Crawford,
R. H; McLean. L: Brigman and K.
B. Nixon.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Mr.
Stahle Linn.
Zeta Psi Mr. W. S. O'B. Rob-
inson, Jr.
Kappa Alpha Mr. W. T. Gore.
Kappa Sigma Mr. E.H.Farriss.
Delta Kappa Epsilon Mr. W.
M. Bond.

Phi Delta Theta Mr. Fred.,

Sigma Nu Mr. J. M. Arm
strong.
Beta Theta Pi Mr. G. M.
Pritchard.
Pi Kappa Alpha Mr. A. J.

Regarding the cash payment of
these subscriptions, it may; be said
that this is an absolutely necessary
step. A man may suDscnoe ana
u tend certainly to take the book,
but he may be broke when they are
ready for delivery; an. amount that
he might have paid easily at Christ
mas time is a fortune at Commencement.
