VIRGINIA OVERWHELMS US
A WORD FROM THE MANAGERS THE FALL DANCES LAST WEEK
ALL-STATE PREP ELEVEN
ran,
M PI
BY THE SCORE OF THIRTY
ONE TO NOTHING
Stanton Honaker and Oloth the
Stars of a Team of Stars
Before a crowd of 12,000 people
at the Broad Street Park in Rich
mond the University of Virginia de
feated the University of North Car
olina by the unlooked for and over
whelming" score of 31 to 0 iii the an
nual Thanksgiving- game. Virginia
went into the game without having
tasted of defeat, while North Caro-
had lost to V. P. I and Tennessee.
Not in recent years has North Car
olina suffered such a crushing defeat
even at the hands of Northern Uni
versities. "While comparative scores
did indicate that Virginia would
win by scores ranging from 6 to 0
to 18 to 0, the most pessimistic
never dreamed of a score of 31 to 0.
But such was the score. How it
happened no one can realize unless he
has seen Stanton, Honaker, Yancey,
Neff, and Gloth, all in action at the
same time. Such a quintette of
stars has seldom been equalled and
never surpassed in the past or pres
ent personell of Southern gridiron
warriors. The whole Virginia
team played gilt-edged ball but the
( work of the husky Pennsylvrtiiian,
Gloth, the heady Texan, Honaker,
and the fleet-footed Californian,
Stanton, was particularly great.
And Stanton was par excellence,
the coruscating, scintillating meteor
of this mighty trio. He could smash
the line, he could side-step, and he
could fly.
Carolina was simply swept off her
feet by the dash, the snap, and
lighting play of Stanton and his
near compeers. Every man fought
and fought to the end, but he fought
in bewilderment and in vain. In
the line, Garrett, Manus, and Rogers
made an exceptionally hard fight.
Garrett broke through several times j
once tackling the runner for a con-j
siderable loss, and Manus was not
to be moved.
Manning and Wiggins played
their positions well. They broke up
the interference at every opportuni
ty, Dunlap played a steady game;
he tackled fiercely. Although
Mann and Lester played but a short
while they both made made several
brilliant tackles. The punting of
Belden was surprisingly strong and
was the outstanding feature of Caro
lina's play.
The "Carolina students, over three
hundred strong, stood by the team
from beginning to end At one
thirty o'clock they formed in front
of the Jefferson Hotel and, led by
the University Band, marched four
abreast to the Broad Street Park.
From the moment they took their
seats on the west side of the park
until time was called in the second

IN REGARD TO PUBLICATION
OF YACKETY YACK
Messrs Banks and McManis Ex-
plain the Manner of Publication
and Ask for Co-operation 1
The Business Managers of the
1908-09 "Yackety Tack," B. L.
Banks Jr. and T. J. McManis, wish
to explain, as far as practicable,
both to the old and to the new stu
dents, the amount of work included
in publishing this book. We wish
to explain how we get our material.
how we raise our revenue, the expense
of engraving the many pictures,
the expense of binding and
printing the book, and finally we
wish to explain that it is absolutely
necessary for the , entire student
body to cooperate with the manag
ers in order to get out a book that
will be a credit to the University.
Heretofore there have been much
mystery and red tape connected
with the issuing-of our college an
nual. Heretofore, the managers.
like ourselves, have been students
and necessarily have. been compelled
to keep up their college work. They
had not, nor have we, the time to ex
plain the details of this book to any
and every individual who might be
inqUisit1tt as much as we would like
to do so ; Had we time we would be
glad to do it. This to our mind is
explanation of the mystery which
seems to surround the "Yackety
Yack;" but there is no mystery
about it, as a matter of fact. On
account of the seeming mystery and
secrecy, the student body, owing to
its ignorance of the details, severely
critisised the book, the managers,
and every one connected with it.
The managers this year, however,
wish to avoid tnis criticism, we
have nothing to say for or against
any former managers, but for the
benefit of all "we Lwish to make
through these columns a few expla
nations which we think will be help
ful to us, to the Yackety Yack
Board and the students.
This is not a one man's book. It
is published annually by the two lit
erary societies and the fraternities,
which mean practically the entire
student body. The students should
take an interest in and cooperate
with one another in getting out the
book. This can be done in various
ways.. Instead , of critisizing, the
students should encourage and help.
This is done in other phases of col
lege life, in athletics, in society
work, and the various associations.
But this is hot the case with our
publications, the Tar Heel, the
Yackety Yack. and the Magazine.
The managers this year promise
to get out as good a book, if not a
better, than has ever been gotten
out here. But to do this, the stud
ents must cooperate. The students
can cooperate mainly, by having
their pictures mad; as promptly as
possible, by subscribing for. the an

THE TWO ASHEVILLE SCHOOLS
HAVE FOUR EACH
. Warrenton One Oak Ridge One
and Durham One A Strong
Eleven McGee of Bing
ham Captain
About a nmnth ago we conceived
the idea of selecting, an All-State
football team representing the prep
aratory schools of North Carolina.
The task has been no easy one.
Owing to the fact that we did not
get a chance to see all the teams in
action we have had to rely in some
instances upon the judgment of
others as to the ability ofsome of
the players. However, we have
taken into careful consideration the
merits of the players who have been
suggested for positions, and we
believe that the team we have selec
ted is very well balanced, and that
it is composed of the best prepara
lory school players in the Old North
State.
' It will be noted that Asheville
School and Bingham School get the
majority of players. This is
due to the fact that both these
teams stood head and shoulders
above the other teams of the State.
Asheville School defeated the Ten
nessee, Davidson, and Carolina
scrubs by big scores, while Bingham
triumphed over the University of
South Carolina and Wake Forest.
Oak Ridge, Durham High School,
Warrenton High School, Greensbo
ro High School, Horner Military
School, Raleigh High School, Golds-
boro High Schol, and Bingham
School, Mebane, all had good teams
In the selection of this team we
have excluded any player who would
be ineligible under strict amateur
rules.
For left end and Captain of the
team McGee of Bingham is undoub
tedly the best man. He played
quarter this year, but has had two
years experience at end, and is better
fitted for that position. In receiving
the forward pass and recovering
onside kicks he is a star. He is the
equal of any college end in the state
and if placed under the training
of a competent coach he would
develop into All-Southern Material.
Right end is given to Allen of
Asheville School, Who would make
McGee is a good running mate. He
is fast in getting down under punts,
and an expert in handling forward
pass.
The best tackles are Leak of
Bingham, left tackle, Glenn of
Bingham, right tackle. Both are
very aggressive, and are also good
defensive men.
Left guard goes to Parker of
Warrenton. Pie is good material
for a college team; for, besides
being aggressive he has the neces
sary weight. '
Abernathy of Oak Ridge, though
he has not had a great deal of expe
rience, is an excellent man for the
other guard.
