To be at the Y. M. C A, December 3rd to ;
5th. He Will Speak to the Students on
Barnett and His Field
Mr. C. G. Hounshell, a travel
ing secretary for the Student
Volunteer Movement, will be on
the Hill December 3-5. Mr.
Hounshell is a graduate of Van
derbilt University, and for seven
years has been a missionary to
Korea under the Methodist Board
of Missions. He is now on his
furlough and for the past two
years has been traveling over
the East and South among the
colleges and universities in the
interest of the Student Volunteer
Movement. ,
His visit to the University will
be of especial interest to the fac
ulty and student body since his
services as a missionary in Korea
have brought him in touch with
China and made him familar with
that section of China in which
our own missionary, Eugene E.
Barnett, is laboring. During his
visit here Mr. Hounshell will ad
dress the student body one night
on Barnett and his field.
Mr. Hounshell is an attractive
and forceful speaker, and his ad
dress on Barnett will be of inter
est to every student in the Uni
versity. His coming will afford
an opportunity for all new men
to know more fully who Barnett
is and what is the nature of his
work in China. Those, who re
member Mr. Hounshell's visit of
last year recall the favorable im
pression he made on the student
body and will be glad to hear
him again.

Coach Bocock Has Mixed
Hard Work With Much
Needed Rest
A REPERTOIRE OF TRICKS AND PLAYS
The Team is in Good Condition' and
Will Go Into the Game on an
Equal Footing With the Team
From Old Virginia
In the special preparation for
the Virginia game Coach Bocock
is mixing hard work; and needed
rest for his men. Those players
who are on . edge he is giving
only light work while some of the
more husky ones are getting all
the hard work they can stand.
Secret practice is being held
every afternoon in perfecting the
repetoire of plays that will be de
pended on to cross the Orange
and Blue goal line. Nobody but
the coach and team know what
these are, but ten thousand peo
ple will see tliem on the 30th.
: Just before the secret practice
begins there is an hour of open
practice each day, during which
the student body in practically its
entirity gathers to cheer the team
on and to show the players that
it is behind them to the last
man. The student body wants
the team to win, and has enough
faith in the team to believe that
if grit and dogged fighting to the
last inch has anything to do with
the outcome of a game, then we
stand a good show. The students
have faith in their coach too.
They know that if good, thorough,
brainy coaching has anything to
do with a team's winning its
games, then our team again stands
a good show to win. But the
coach, the team, and the students
all know that the game will be a
grilling one, and that to win, our.
team will have to fight, and keep
on fighting to the bitter end.
But the students believe that
that is what will win us the game,
if anything does the sheer fight
ing power of the team. So to
show the men on the team that
the student body has confidence
in them, and to cheer the team

Resources of Town.
I At last some definite action has
t -
been taken in the matter of the
long dreamed-of, much talked-of,
and much longed-for street car
connection between Durham arid
Chapel Hill. Mr. J. W. Murray,
president of the Piedmont Trac
tion Company, of Burlington,
came to Chapel HiM last Friday
and met a committee of the rep
resentalive business men of the
town. The purpose of his com
ing and of thf meeting was to
investigate the resources of the
town and the readiness of its citi

suit of the meeting was that dif
ferent committees were appointed
to secure the facts desired and to
out how much stock the
men of Chanel Hill
would take in the enterprise.
The Piedmont Traction Co. al
ready has lines in operation be
tween Burlington, Graham, and
Haw River, The company now
proposes to extend its lines from
Haw River to Swepsonville, a
cotton mill town on the Haw
river, thence to Saxapahaw, an
other mill town, thence to Chapel
Hill, and from Chapel Hill to
Durham.
A tranchise has already been
secured from the county commis
sioner of Alamance County to
operate the car line over the pub
lic mads of that county. A
similar franchise will be gotten
from t he commissioners of Orange
County. The Durham Traction
Company owns a franchise be
tween Chapel Hill and Durham,
but this will not deter the new
