AR JUo Vol. 14. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9. 1905. No. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETiq ASSOCIATION. Carolina Downs Catholic Team SCORE 36-0 THEIR PILL Abernethy Stars at Full Line Holds Georgetown at Every Point Team Work a Notable Feature. Georgetown met overwhelming defeat at the hands of our Varsity eleven in Richmond Saturday after noon by a score of 36 to 0. The victory, while not unexpected, was none the less gratifying-, especially as it was the first time in years that Carolina had succeeded in forcing her rival to bite the dust. It was known that owing to the adoption of new eligibility regulations at Georgetown this fall their team was by no means the terror it had pre viously been, but the tremendous score piled up by Carolina's fast playing was entirely unexpected. At every point of the game North Carolina proved herself incompar ably superior: her line impregnable, her ends alert, her backs fast and speedy. Every man on Carolina's team played ball football, not ping-pong. And when it came to kicking goals Whitaker was Johnny-on-the-spot. Six times the tip of his shoe crashed into the leathern sphere; six times it sailed serenely through the goal posts. Prominent among the features of the game were the long dashes of Abernethy, who on one occasion cir cled an end for 65 yards and in three more downs took the ball over the line. Carolina kicked off to George town, who was downed on the 20 yard line. Georgetown on two plays advanced the ball 13 yards and lost it to Carolina on a fumble. Reynolds gave it a lift of 15 yards and Winoorne 4. Then Abernethy crashed through for 10 yards and Carolina's first touchdown. Whit aker booted the sphere and the score was six to naught. Once more the Tar Heels kicked off and sent the ball spinning to within 15 yards of the Catholic goal. Georgetown kindly fumbled in Carolina's favor and Winborne called down on the 10-yard line. Here Georgetown grew stubborn but Carolina got busy. Reynolds plowed through for 5 yards, Aber nethy added 2 and Winborne circled an end for the coveted score. Whit aker was called on again, made a fair catch and it was twelve to naught. 5 minutes now since thj first kick-off. Throughout the remainder ot the first half the battle continued with out further scoring on either side. Georgetown, to break the monotony kicked off this time to Carolina's 15-yard line and Seagle, securing the bail, returned it 10 yards. Soon, however, came the ever pres ent fumble, this time in George town's favor. After chauging and rechanging hands on fumbles more than once the ball was finally in Carolina's possession in the middle of the field. Georgetown then took a brace and secured the ball on downs. But her desperate efforts to score proved fruitless. Finally after repeated gaining, repeated kicking, repeated failing, repeated fumbling, time was called with the ball in Georgetown's possession on Carolina's 20-yard line. After a breathing spell the teams lined up for the second half and the Catholics slammed the sphere to the Tar Heels' 15-yard line. Rey nolds secured the ball and came rushing back for 20 yards. Aber nethy followed with a brilliant dash of 35 yards. Winborne ad ded two and Abernethy 15. Story bucked the line for no gain and Ab ernethy on three attempts carried the ball over the line. Whitaker kicked goal and the score was now eighteen to naught. I In the next few minutes came th? play of the game. Georgetown kicked to the 15-yard line and Rey nolds again brought it back 20 yards. Then Abernethy hugged the sphere to his bosom and per formed a magnificent, spectacular run of 65 yards through George town's line. On the next play he added 7 more yards; on the next be carried it over. Carolina next sent the ball toiler opponents' 15-yard line, whence a Georgetown runner brought it back 16 yards. Again the ball began changing hands. Georgetown failed to gain and kicked to Caro lina who in her turn punted, after Abernethy had smashed through for 7 yards. Carolina soon had it again, however, and Winborne made a dash of 30 yards. In a few moments more, Story was sent over for a fifth touchdown. Whitaker performed his wonted stunt. It was thirty to nothing. The sixth touchdown was made by Reynolds. Carolina secured the ball on a fumble on Georgetown's 25-yard line. In spite of the Wash ingtonians' stubborn resistance Winborne went through for 5 yards and Abernethy made it 20 more, stopping to draw breath on the 5 yard line and Reynolds completed the tragedy. This ended the scoring. George town kicked to the Tar Heels' 10 yard line and Abernethy spurted through the whole Georgetown team for 43 yards. At this point Story went out and Williams went in. Reynolds made no gain and on downs the ball was George town's. In a moment, however.the tables were reversed and Carolina had a clear title. Two rushes re sulted in no gain, then Abernethy with nearly all the Georgetown team hanging to him sped down the (Continued on Fourth Page.) THE JUNIOR FEAST. Plckard's Hotel Scene of a Pleasant Gathering Friday Night Wit, ( Humor and Eloquence Per vade the Speeches. The Junior class banquet was held in Pic Ward's Hotel Friday night. There were present as the guests of the class Professors Her ty and Graham and Mr. McKie of the faculty. There was little of the formal about this banquet; ev erybody looked pleasant and '. acted naturally; the occasion was like, as some one expressed it a reunion of a large family. From the time the body marched into the dining hall at 9:20 until the first small hour of the morning; approached, there was something on the go. Everybody was called on to speak, and thougl. some of the boys were hard put to it for something to say, they never theless responded. President Herring, in the capac ity of toast-master, filled his posi tion creditably. He seemed aware of the fact that a gracious, airy short talk would be more agreeable than a leadened article of twenty -seven minutes duration. His opener was decidedly a hit and put the al ready jolly crowd in a still jollier mood. The talks by the the three guests they declared against the word address were such as to create not only the heartiest applause, but even surprise at the wholesome hu mor displayed. Prof. Herty was not well known here; he had come from another State, and was not fa miliar with, the ways of the Univer sity. It was hardly possible to ex pect him to be in complete harmony with our life; but the degree of knowledge and adaptability dis played by him on this occasion at once marked him as a favorite at the University. He simply had in him the spirit an alumnus is supposed to have. Mr. Herty emphasized the fact that though a student chops wood to enable him to pursue his studies in college, he does not lose thereby, but is esteemed for so do ing. ; Professor Graham spoke feelingly of various phases of University life, of the advantages students of the present have over students of the past, of the better relations obtain ing now between both students and teachers as compared to the past. The burden of his talk was on the oneness in class life sinking indi viduality for the whole class. This, Mr. Graham said, had been done to a marked degree. Mr. McKie talked about the ad vantages of having a class, of hav ing classmates, of having joys and sorrows in common. He had been denied this boon, he said. He had been compelled to hook on a study here and there without the privilege of going straight through. He also discussed the matter of establishing customs at the University and rlearlv nn'mieA nnf ,..U.. Ann of care should be exercised in this It matter. Messrs. Palmer, Sid bury and Linn responded to these talks for the class. Each had given their subject, "Class Unity," careful thought and spoke with force and assurance. I At intervals during the banquet Carolina songs were rendered. Professor Graham suggested and taught the class a new yell, which 'was given with much gusto by those present. After adjourning, the class, members, who had each 'declared that his was the best class ever, marched up to the well, lined up and rent the air with music. I Sophs. Defeat Horner. j Two hundred and fifty people meandered out to the athletic held Saturday to see the Sophomore and Horner football teams meet on the gridiron. ' Five touchdowns were made by the Sophomores during the progress of the game but by the voluntary act of the Sophomores the score stood 11 to 0 at the close of the game. It happened thusly: For the first few minutes of the game it was slaughter, pure and simple. The Sophomores waded through the line of the visitors and circled their ends at will. In a very short time three touchdowns and three failures at goal were registered to . their; :redit. At this stage , it; dawned upon the minds of the Hor- her players that "sump'm was wrong sumwhere." When they dis covered that, under the regular; class-team rules, the Sophomores were playing three scrubs, they Registered a forcible kick and re fused to proceed. After some par ley the three "professionals," Davis, Rogers and Raper, voluntar ily retired and the game went on, the Sophs agreeing among them selves not to count the hist three, scores. Only one other touchdown was made in the first half, leaving the score 5 to 0 in favor of the Sophs. i In the second half the Horner boys played better ball than in the first and only one touchdown was made against them. It was made by Emerson in the play of the game. On a quarterback run. he , brokethrougb the line, dodged the interference and sprinted down the field for about 55 yards. The Hor ner quarter dashed at him and ' thought he had him but when the' Horner man rubbed his eyes and' looked about him he found that Emerson had hurdled him and, without even losing his step, had gone right over the line. It was ' one of the prettiest hurdles seen here for manv a moon. Vanderbilt's crushing defeat of the Texans last Saturday week practically gives the S. I. A. A., championship to Vanderbilt. Tex as was considered her most formid able opponent for the honor.
