FOOTBALL MEN
HARD AT WORK
Strenuous Practice for the
Horner Game on Sat
urday the 28th.
VARSITY LINE-UP AT PRESENT UNCERTAIN
Captain Tilltt Only MaN Sure to Be
in the Scrap. New Men Showing
up well. Training Hard for the
Coming Games.
The football squad has got
down to real business. The pre
liminary practice of the first week
has given way to grueling scrim
mages and long signal drills- The
coaches are making every effort
to have the squad in good shape
for the Horner game on Saturday,
the 28th. , Last year Horner had
a team that would have held its
own with the State colleges. Sev
eral of the.stars of that team have
left, but the majority are back, and
in addition it is rumored that
Stafford, the old A. and Mr play-
er, Enfclish,of V. M. I., and other
f collegiate players will be with
them this year. A hard scrap is
looked for.
More paiticularly, though,
preparation is being made for the
Davidson game on October the
5th. This is always one ol the
hardest fights and the score iu the
past few years has never been
above six points. Davidson can
i always be counted on to nave a
s . . . . .
I fast tricky bunch and they regard
the Carolina game as their big
gest one.
It is impossible to prophesy ac-
j curately the line-up in the open-
ing game. Competition is keen
I for all the positions. In the
scrimmages the Varsity has been
lining up as follows: Strange and
Huske, ends, big Abernathy and
Garrison, tackles, Johnson and
Dortch, guards, Bagwell, centre,
Tillett, quarter, Erwin, Smith,
Wakeley, and little Abernethy in
the back field. Many others have
been tried, but it is a pretty safe
bet that those mentioned will get
in Saturday's game at some time.
Holmewood's work at end has
been very promising. Though
new to the game he is catching
on quickly, and his natural
strength, speed, and aggressive
ness will make some of the others
hustle. Everett, who has had
experience on the scrubs at A. &
M., is a good line man and has
been giving the Varsity trouble
in all the scrimmages. Long and
Applewhite will be heard from at
end. Long is probably the best
forward passer on the field and
Applewhite's experience stands
him iu good stead.
Garrison looks like a real find
at tackle. Tall, rangy, and
strong, he should make a fit run
ning mate for "big Ab." Dortch,
another new man, has been tried
at guard. He is thick-set and
built close to the ground and ap
pears to be especially good on

TEAM CAPTAINS ELECTED
Edwards and Chambers the
Men Chosen
At a recent meeting of the
baseball N. C. men W. Burr Ed
wards was elected captain of the
baseball team for the coming
season.
Edwards . has played third
base here for the past two years.
He is a brilliant fielder and a
heavy hitter and possesses prob
ably a better knowledge of the
game than any other man in col
llge. For the past two years he
has been without doubt the har
dest fighter on the squad.
Prospects are good. - The
entire infield is back, Edwards on
third, Baily at second, Leak at
first, and Winstead at short.
Page is back for the outfield.
Several new men with good rep
utations are here. The battery
will probaly cause the most
troule.
Lenoir Chambers has been el
ected captain of the basketball
team. He played guard on last
year's team, four members of
which are back in college.
Baskets will be placed this week
on the ole tennis courts just west
of the gym and it is hoped that
some satisfactory practice may
be had-during the fall.
'
The Music Starts Up
The musical department of the
University has the best material
and prospects for years. . A call
was made for orchestra members,
and besides several old men from
last year there responded other
able performers, including Prof.
Wilbur Royster, an old Carolina
Glee Club man, W. R. McCorkle,
violinist, Henson, cornetist, Proc
tor Woollen, director.
The band has new material and
new music and is busy practicing
regularly under the direction of
Messrs. Warlick and Rights.
Prof. Sneath will issue a call
this week for all vocal aspirants
and if all the rumored prima
donnas and Carusos come to
light, Carolina will outshine
Metropolitan opera.
An effort will be made this year
to renovate the music room and
furnish it for the convenience of
members of the Musical Associa
tion.
Will Play V. P. I. at Raleigh
Final arrangements have been
made for playing the V. P. I.
game in Raleigh on October 26.
Mr. Albert Cox, President of the
Raleigh Chamber of Commerce,
and an old Carolina footbal' star
himself, has been actively inter
ested in arranging the details.
It is expected that excursion
trains will be run to Raleigh
from various points in the state,
including Chapel Hill, and that
one of the largest crowds that
ever attended a football contest
in North Carolina will be present.
SENIORS DECIDE TO
START 'SOMETHING
At a Class Smoker They Re
solve to Quit Knocking
and Boost
MR. GRAHAM WAS THERE AND SPOKE
They Save an Enjoyable Evening
With Plenty to Eat and Smoke.
Discussion Was Freely Engaged
In. I .
Last Monday night the Senior
class eu joyed a smoke in ther lob
by of the Y. M. C. A. Cigars
and good things to eat were in
abundance. After a short while
of pleasant gossip, President
Walter Stokes called for nomina
tions for the minor class officers.
The following elections were
made: Statistician, D. J. Walker
Reader of Last Will and Testa
ment, J. Y. Caldwell, Class Ora
tor, J. C. Busby; Class Historian,
Ml T. Spears; Class Prophet,
Lowry Axley; Class Poet, S. R.
Bivens; Chairman" Senior Stunt
Committee, R. G. Huffman; E.
M. Coulter was elected football
manager for this season.
After these officers hae been
elected,' the president arose and
stated that the serious business
for the class that night was to
discuss the social conditions of
the University, and to offer sug
gestions for the improvement of
these conditions. He then an
nounced that Prof . E. K. Graham
would talk to the class.
Professor Graham said in the be
ginning that, in his opinion snch
meetings as the Senior class was
then holding could be made one
of the greatest uplifting forces in
our community. We receive in
to our society every year from
250 to 275 new men. These men
have to be digested as it were by
us before they can have the same
love and feeling for the Universi
ty that the upper classmen have.
These men do not get this feeling
for one, two, sometimes three
years; and we are ourselves large
ly to blame for this because of
the manner in which we receive
these men. We do not try hard
enough to make them feel at
home. We are not interested e
nough in them to associate with
them, or to help them see Univer
sity life from our point of view.
Prof. Graham after he had fin
ished, asked for members of class
to express their ideas and opin
ions on the subject, and to offer
suggestions. A number of men
responded and a live and interest
ing discusion ensued.
The remarks of Messrs. Harry
and Spears were interesting-.
Mr. Spears suggestion, that the
two Literary Societies follow the
examples of the Senior class, and
from time to time lay aside their
regular programmes and give the
evening to social entertainment,
was well received.

Stokes Secures Stars
Manager Walter Stokes of the
Y. M. C. A. Lyceum Course has
an unusually attractive program
to offer this year. Six concerts
will be given, the first coming

April. A special season ticket is
being issued this year, price one
dollar for all six concerts.
The Apollo Concert Company
is the first offering. It consists
of, five members, all skilled musi
cians playing on every imagina
ble instrument. They have even
gone so far as to have a special
instrument of , their own, the
"Apollophone." sixteen feet long,
and possessed of all the musical
possibilities of the Stein way
Grand Piano.
Coming in November is the Le
Barge Musical Company, consist
ing of Mr. Le Barge and Miss
Ethel Zimmer, both musicians
and entertainers Miss Zimmer

noise that was ever made from
drinking out of a quart bottle to
steamboat whistles. He will be
here in December.
The star offering of the year is
the University Girls, seven in
number. They excel in both
playing and singing, and above
all are reported to have unusual
personal attractions.
In March a monologuist, Noah
Bejlfiarz, will be seen in "The
Hoosier School Master." Mr.
Beilharz has a big reputation as
a humorist and is especially good
iu the selection he will present
here.
The final concert is in April
and is given by Dana Walden,
magician and entertainer. Mr.
Walden has a bunch of new tricks

miliar ones will be given.

ATHLETIC TICKETS
PLACED ON SALE
A Five Dollar Ticket Admits
to All Contests on
the
EVERY STUDENT MUST HAVE TICKET
If Athletics Are to Be a Success This
Year There Must Be 600 Student
Members. Names of Those Who
Will Sell Tickets.
Athletic Association tickets are
now on sale. These tickets are
of two kinds - student tickets and
season tickets. The student
tickets entitle the owner to mem
bershib in the Athletic Associa
tion, a vote in all meetinge of 'the
Association, and to admission to
all athletid contests held on the
Hill under the auspices of the
association. The other tickets
are for sale to members of the
faculty, town-people, and alumni.,
They do not entitle rhe holder to
membership in the Association,
but do admit the owner to the
football, basketball, baseball, and
track contests held on . the Hill.
This means that the owners of
tickets gets to see about $11.00
worth of games for Jhe price of
these tickets. The price of both
kinds of tickets is the same-$5.00.
The price of these tickets is
very small considering the value
received for them. Until this
year membership in the Associa
tion alone cost a dollar. This
did not admit the member to any
contest. It merely entitled him
to a vote in the Association meet
ings. Then there were eleven or
twelve dollars worth of games
held on the Hill to see which he
had to pay admission. This
year the usual number of games
and track meets will be held here,
so if a man contemplates going to
half of the contests he will save
money by buying a ticket, while
if he intends to go to only about a
third of the contest he will about
break even on buying a ticket.
The Athletic Association is at
present about twetny-five hundred
dollars in the hole. Athletics
here are not at the top ot the lad
der either. In order to get the
assocation out of debt and in or
der to have thest udents out at the
contests to encourage the teams
and show them that we are behind
them and it is necessary that
every student in college buy one
of these tickets. If we are going
to have athletics here and put out
winning teams we have got to
support athletics and the teams.
We can't just stand around and
gas about how unsucsessful we
have been, great teams we have,
or how the coaches ought to do
this that and the other; we have
got to give the Athletic Associa
tion and the teams that we put
out both our moral and material
support - and the material sup
port is the best and most efficient
way of showing our moral and
