They first made the stu dents conscious of their listless spirit, showed them its depressing influence, and called upon them, in the name of all that the University meant to them, to shake off their listlessness and get together at once. The students re sponded and that right magnificently. This awakened college spirit means games fought harder and games won To express it in a paraphrase: Let us be spirited and the spirit that lies In our Varsity, sleeping but never dead, Shall rise in majesty to surpass our own. It has justly been said that there is such a thing as running mass meetings in the ground. A. cunt;nualnOluTng of mass meetings makes the meetings monotonous and at times tiresome. The meetings after a while become a sort of a resort for a good yarn or re cent anecdote. To persistently haul eleven sensible men into a meeting and idolize them is sickening to the men themselves. So far there have been just enough in numbers but one to many in kind. The first meet ing from unforseen causes was a howl ing farce, the second was oneof the most healthful and beneficial ever held here. One or two more of the kind held last Thursday will be worth far more than a score of puerile outbreaks. A good number of students doubt the practical efficacy of a mass meet ing, cheers, songs, and such other de monstrations of college spirit. These men do not make up anj' indefinite thky but are real flesh and blood peo ple who are possessed of a sound love for the University. These very stu dents, however, contradict themselves when they lament the lack of college spirit as shown by the lack of yells, cheers, and songs. Of course a half hearted yell, a listless cheer, a lag ging song and all other artificial ex- pressions ot interest are aDsoiuteiy ot j no avail. But an interested and loyal ( songs ana yeas come .onneousiy and not in vain. There is a response in every play, in every movement, in fact in every pulse beat of the men in the game. In like manner a public speaker is re sponsive to his audience. If he speaks to empty benches, he loses hal his power. Fill the house, and there will pass into him from th audience a something that will give iiin power beyond his own. Let tlje student body be too indifferent and too listless to raise a solitary yell or sing a lone song and the team will lose half of its power. Let that same team feel tha it is a part and product of an, interest ed and loyal student body an it wil acquire a power and a force that is ir resistible. I The rebel yell and Dixie were no mean.factors in making the men who wore the grey the greatest soldiers of any time. They stir and they stir deeply. A man simply canndt hear either without almost craving a fight. Let us give our "Yackety Yack" and sing our "I'm a Tar Heel born" and we will have another example of a jell ancf a song sweeping all before them. Scrimmage Improving: The scrimmage between the 'Varsity and scrubs Tuesday afternoon was '"one of the besi that that lias been engaged in this year 1 he scrubs kicked oft to the 'Varsity and bitterly contested every inch of ground, but after several minutes the latter succeeded in scoring a touchdown. After the next kick off the 'Varsity was forced to kick, and the scrubs got busy. A number of line plunges by McLean and Hedgpeth, and beautiful end runs by the lat ter,, placed the ball on the 'Varsity's 5-yard line, but it could not be car ried over. The scrubs were given two extra downs, and at last succeexled.iii ;r "the goa-b 1 he 'Varsity again received the kick-off and by giving Belden the ball al most every time carried it to the l " ......A 1' I L -...1.1 scrims u-yaru line out couiu not score except by the aid of extra downs. The 'Varsity is very trong on defense, and by the addi tion of more power in attack should be able to gain ground on opposing elevens hereafter. According to the Ring Turn Phi "The Ring Turn Phi" of Wash ington and Lee says in regard to the game in Newport News on Oct. 10th: "The score does not tell the true story of the game, for to do justice to the Carolina team they should have won by at least twelve points. It was only by the stubborn defense put up by W. & L. at critical mo ments that this was pi evented. Carolina's team work was almost perfect, and especially their for ward pass, which they., worked time and again for substantial gains. While the work of the team was not as good as it should have been, this showed up much more noticeably than it ordinarily would have done. on account of Carolina's work." good The Economics Club met Monday at 7.30 and reorganized.

The October Magazine The October number of the Uni versity Magazine is in appearence and make up away ahead of any previous issue. The cover is of white paper vellum, with the title embossed in dark blue. The Uni versity seal is stamped upon the front page of the cover and the State seal upon the back. The quality of paper and printing throughout is good. It is to be regreted that, in its entirety, the contents of the Maga zine does net leave as favorable an impression as does its appearence. This is to be attributed in.. most part to the fact that the October number is the first of the year, and, like the 'Varsity football team, is made up largely of last year's scrubs. Individually, however. there are several especially good pieces. American uemocracy ana its Third Crisis, by W. P. Stacy, was the successful oration in the contest for the Mangum Medal at the last Commencement. "News paper Work for the Beginner," by Ralph H. Graves of the New York Kvening Post, is a short but inter esting statement of therequisites for successful newspaper work. "An Ether Experience," by J. T. John ston, is realistic but without definite interest. "A Tragedy of the Banks," is an overwrought, improb able, and immature piece. "1 wo Incidents," by Hon. A. M. Waddell, is a short sketch upon two views of the immortality of the soul. There are several pieces of verse charac teristically Coffinesque, but which are nevertheless of some worth. 'Things Talked About," is a de partment devoted to the expression of student thought. The sketch department offers a field for less ambitious writers, and is in this number, as in kri... one of ne very best chapters. On the whole, the October num ber of the magazine is a step further along the right path, and the mana gers and editors are to be commended or what they have been able to do. Work on Tennis Courts Resumed. Work on the tennis courts behind he gymnasium has taken another purt. The courts are being laid ff and the only other thing to be done is to put up the wire netting and the posts. This will be accomp- ished in the course of another week and play on the courts will egin. The work on the courts has r i i gone torvvaru ratiier slowlv but 'the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small." The tennis courts when finished will be the best in the state. All those wishing to use the courts should join the tennis association as probably only members of the association will be allowed to use the courts. The have been so few courts fit for use this fall that even the 'Varsity team has been unable to get a court some evenings. Meets have been arranged for the team, with Guilford and Wake Forest.
