Lafayette Field has never staged a more bitterly fought contest than that of Saturday af ternoon, when the University of North Carolina and Washington and Lee met in their annual erame. It was Tar Heel Day and Coach Bocock's charge's complete ly outplayed their heavier oppo nents in three of the four periods and carved out a clean victory with the score 4 to 0,. Contesting every inch of the CT w wav. neither team crossed the j i - - -opposing goal line and the North State victory came as the result of two safeties. The first was made in, the opening' quarter when Tillett ot Carolina, punted to the Washington and Lee goal line. Raferty caught the ball ' and attempted to run it out, but was thrown hard over the line by Applewhite. The second safety was scored in the second quarter, when Francis tried to punt out from behind the goal. L. Aber naty blocked the kick and four Carolina ( men fell on Referty, who recovered the ball behind the goal. The teams were in the pink of condition and the game was de layed but little on account of time taken out for injuries. The tack ling on both sides was fierce and sure, but the soft condition of the field prevented extremely hard falls, which usually result from clean tackles. Tillett, Tar Heel Quarter, Clever General. The teams were about evenly matched in the line "and in the backfield, with the exception of the quarterback position. Tillett of Carolina, was Undoubtedly better than Raferty and Slater of Washington arid Lee. Thisj youngster played ' most of the game and he used his head throughout. Besides that, be. tnnre than held his own in the punting. Both lines were a mixture of . good and bad. On the defense the Washington and Lee line was but thev lacked. -e airprpRsiveness. Thev failed to hold several times when one ot , D O w ZtrXfup t ... the proper holes when-the backs GOES DOWN BEFORE CAROLINA Ervin On the other hand Carolina did not seem especially strong on the defense. The heavy Lexington tackles on the tackle-back for mation split the line for good gains. On the offense they were like young tigers. Tillett and Coffin had little trouble getting tlieif kicks, off, and the backs were able, to-get a. good start be fore being thrown. ine Carolina line stars were Small and L. Abernathy, A raster ana more aggressive pair oP tackles would be hard to find on a southern eleven. They were in every play and Abernathy was the direct cause of Carolin's making one of her scores. Small was taken lrom the game during the latter part as the Carolina coaches wanted to save him for the Virginia game on Thanks giving. He was replaced by Deans, who played a splendid game. Miller, Miles and Captain Moomaw made the best showing in the Washington and Lee rush line. All three of these men are first class tackles, but their work could be hardly measured up to the Carolina pair. Wadpill Kicks Off and the Game Is On. Waddill sent his toe into the pigskin and the game was on. Winston received the kick and returned the ball fifteen yards before he was thrown hard by Francis.

Malcolm gained four yards on a skin-tackle play oyer the right side of the line and on the next play made first down on a fake kick formation. A delayed pass, Beubring carrying the ball, netted three yards and Raferty failed to gain against the parolina line. Waddill attempted an end run, but was thrown hard by Aber nathy. The ball went over on downs. Winston tried a short end run, but was stopped by Miles before he had reached the line. Tillett was stopped by Burke without a gain and on the next play the ball was fumbled ' and recovered by Washington and Lee.

Waddill recovered the ball and Carolina held for downs, r Tillett punted to Raferty, who caught the ball on the goal line.

SOPHS DEFEAT FRESHMEN Second Year Men Fail to Cross Freshmen's Goal Line, but Score When Worth Kicks Two Field Goal The members of the Mask and Brush had things their way Fri day and won from their your.ger brethren 6 to 0, making two suc cessful drop kicks. Worth pulled off both the kicks; one in the second quarter after a fair catch by Hanes, the other in the third quarter during play. After the first five minutes of play it was evident that the sophomores were on the road to victory. They played a good game. The freshmen, on the other hand, did not put up any thing like their usual article of ball. But perhaps that was due to their innate timidity and hesi tancy to force themselves upon their elders. Perhaps, only per haps, the side lines may have contributed to their defeat. The formidable array there of talent ed members of the ancient and dishonorable order of the Mask and Brush may have had an em barrassingly unnerving effect up on the young members of this family who thus far have not succeeded in wrapping themselves completely in the swaddling clothes of learning. The sophomores, h o w e v e r, seemed to gain strength by their backers on the side lines. Worth outpunted the freshmen's punter; Hanes intercepted a forward pass and got away with it for 25 yards before getting nabbed "Ratty" Ranson, their famous left end, held down his position with characteristic grace and ease, while Lord on right end played good ball. Darden, at center, put up a splendid game. He broke through the freshman line with ease. Line up.

Stated briefly the plan is this: To practice the songs every morning at chapel; to have the songs flashed on the screen at Pickwick between the different reels, and to have somebody who can sintr to lead those songs; to have song and yell practice every night at the door at Commons Hall; and finally, to meet every afternoon on the Athletic Field at some stated time and there to practice the yells and songs. It is planned to limit the num ber of songs to three. Heretofore just before the Virginia game we have been flooded with songs, parodies, and near-poetry which all read once and never sang. This year three songs will be learned and will be sung. As for the yells, all the old ones will be tried. Two large .megaphones have been bought for the cheer leaders, and two hundred small ones have been ordered for the use of the students. Some noise, well led and well directed, will be made in noble-town situated on the-noble James, next'ThankKgiviflg day. POSTCFnCE FOX CHAPEL KILL The Bill Has Beer Isfroiiicei Congress for a $100,0 Mfai When the Democratic Congress meets in next December a strenu ous effort will be made by the authorities to secure a govern ment building for the use of the -post office in Chapel Hill. A bill was introduced at the last session of Congress for a building to cost $100,000. No action was taken on the matter then, but at the next session the matter will be pushed. It is the expectation of Post Master Lindsay that favor ably action will be taken. The urgent need for a post of- j fice building in Chapel Hill is ap parent to any one who has ever chanced to see the . present ac commodations. The building now in use is totally inadequate for the needs of the town. The rush of students at mail time has been the subject of many an English theme, and the despair of the post master. When the mail is a little late, seven hun dred and fifty students try to crowd into a space scarcely thirty feet square, to the annoyance of the authorities and the peril of innocent bystanders. Senator Simmons has stated to Mr. Lindsay that be will do everything in his power to get the building. The receipts of the postoffice at Chapel Hill were $9500 for the fiscal year ending last June. They have increased over $1,000 during the past three years. This sum is only slightly under the stan dard set by Congress, and it is for this reason that Mr. Lindsay ic nvl..un wlnK mauc 4 t a . were hitting tfie line .vy the next ttfngress,
