V.P.L OVERWHELMS
VARSITY IN RALEIGH
Bocock's Team Too Much
and Carolina is Defeated
in a Hard Game
THE FINAL SCORE WAS 26 TO 0.
V. P. I. Successful ,',.With Forward
Passes and Her Heavy Backs Plug
the Line. Three Hundred Students
Accompany the Team
The Carolina Varsity fell be
fore the attack of V. P. I. in
Raleigh last Saturday to the
tune of 26 to 0. It was the hard
est fought game Raleigh has
seen in a long time and one for
which the team deserves much
credit. The way in which;! the
heavy V. P. I. backs were
fought off was enough to rouse
the sidelines more than once to
cheers of admiration.
One touchdown came in each
quarter and only after overcoming
the most stubborn resistance.
Carolina threatened to score in
the second Quarter. From near
the center -of the field Wakeley
reeled off 25 yards. Tillett im
mediately raced 25 mere aud
brought the ball to, the 4-yard
line. With four tries for the
remaining distance and a touch
down almost a certainty, time
was called, before the teams
could line up.
V. P. I. presented a veteran
team, skilled under the thorough
coaching of Branch Bocock. Car
olina probably had the advant
age in, weight in the line, but the
V. P. I. hacks were an unusually
heavy, hard running set and more
than made up for discrepancies
in the line. Legge, who has
caused trouble for Carolina before,
was in great form and gained
well. Burrus and . Schultz are
easily the best tackles that Car
olina has played against this
year and Burrus was particularly
hard to stop on a tackle-aronud
play. Hughes at end starred in
handling forward passes. It was
perfection in this play that enabl
ed V. P. 1. to roll up four touch
downs. Two forward passes led
directly to scores. From . the
center of the field long passes
were made to Hughes, who gain
ed 30 yards. Then the backs
plugged the line for short gaius,
3 and 4 yards at a time down to
the goal line. The last touch
down came after a punt was
blocked on Carolina's 16-yard
line. All the scores were made
against a stubborn defence and
it is significant that three touch
downs came in the last three
minutes of each quarter. The
game was no walk-over and there
is no reason for discouragement
by Carolina supporters. V. F. I.
simply took advantage of her
opportunities.
Tillett played well through
the game. He gained long dis
tances running back punts and
tackled fiercely. Applewhite,
Big Abernathy, Strange, Dortch,
Huske and Moore fought hard all
the time and did much to hold
down the score.

MANAGER MEBANE RESIGNS
L. P. McLendon Has Been
Appointed His Successor
L. P. McLendon has been ap
pointed by the Athletic CounciJ
as manager of the football team
in place of B. H. Mebane who re
signed the position owing to his
leaving college. The change,
coming in the middle of the sea
son is particularly unfortunate;
but the council has immediately
secured a capable and experienced
man. McLendon graduated from
A. & M. in 1910. He was man
ager of the 1909 football team at
A. & M. and gained much valua
ble experience. He came to the
University to study law in the
fall of 1910, passed the state
board last February, and is now
practising law in Chapel Hill and
taking a few courses in the Uni
versity. He has already taken
hold of the work in an active
manner and should manage the
team successfully the rest of the
season.

FRESHMEN BEAT PREPS
Warrenton Overcome by
1916; Score 22 toO
The Freshman football team
went over to Warrenton last Fri
day, under the shadow of Ratty
Ranson's one good wing, and
beat the Preps to a frazzle. The
final score, 22 to 0, resulted from
three touchdowns and a safety.
They failed to kick one goal.
Although the Freshmen were
materially outweighed, they had
the ball practically all the time.
Most of their gains were on short
end runs. Their own goal was
never threatened, as the Warren
ton boys seldom made first downs,
although they palled off two for
ward passes.
The Freshmen made one touch
down a quarter, except the first,
when a fumble on Warrenton's
five yard line prevented scoring.
Parkci, full, probably did the best
work for '16, making two touch
downs. Fore, at quarter, played
a heady game. He handled his
team well. Joyner did good work
on end, and Reid gained well.
The most spectacular feature of
the game was Parker's thirty-five
yard run for a touchdown with
an intercepted forward pass.
The Freshmen lined up as fol
lows: Norris, c; Wilson, 1. g.;
Huske, 1. t.; Joyner, 1. e.; Mc
Lean, r. g.; Craig, r. t.; Royall,
Bowen and Lambeth, r. e. ; Fore,
q.; Reid, r. h.; Parker, f.; Wood
and Hoover, 1. h.
Referee, Ratty Ranson, '14.
Umpire, Graham, Jr., of Warren
ton. Time-keeper, Royster, '16.
Quarters, 10 minutes.
In the Di society last week, the
query" Resolve that constitution
lity granted, the United States
Chngress should enact an iuheri-
tance tax law". Friday night
Mr. Lindou made the best speech.
Saturday night the affirmative
won and Mr. Walon made the
best speech.

C. E. McINTOSH, '11, THE ORIGINATOR
New Plan by Which the University
Will Help Develope Debating Ma
terial in Secondary Schools of the
State
In order to stimulate among
the secondary schools of the
State greater interest in debat
ing, and especially to encourage
greater activity in inter-scholastic
debating, the Dialectic and Phi
lanthopic Litenry Societies of
the University have submitted a
plan fora High School Debat
ing Union to the high schools of
the State. The plan, which
looks to the natural extension of
the lite.ary society work of the
University, the head of the
State's educational system, to
the high schools, the lower part
of the States educational system,
is in brief this:
The Di and Phi Societies will
suggest a query to be discussed
on a given date by the high
schools entering the Union, (this
date to be determined by the
Societies after they have ascer
tained the wishes of the schools
themselves), and will furnish
from the University library, free
of cost, in pamphlet form, such
material as will enable the stu
dents to comprehend and dis
cuss intelligently the various
points covered by thej.'question.
Other sources of information
will be indicated from which the
teams can obtain additional ma
terial if they desire it.
All secondary schools of
North Carolina, however sup
ported, offering regular organiz
ed courses of study above the
seventh grade, and not extend
ing in their scope and content
beyond a standard four year high
school course, as defined by the
State Department of Education,
shall be eligible for membership
in the Debating Union.
All schools accepting the offer
of the Societies and thus becom
ing members of the Union shall
be arranged by the Societies into
groups of three, for a triangular
debate, the status and staudards
of the schools, their proximity,
accessibility and convience of lo
cation to be considered in form
ing the groups. Each school of
each triangular group shall agree
to form two debating teams of
two members each, the one to up
hold the affirmative side of the
query, and the other to defend
the negative side Tne team de
bating at home shall in each case
uphold me affimative side of the
query, and the visiting team
shall in each case defend the
negative side.
Any school that shall win
both the affirmative and the
negative sides of the query in
this triangular contest shall be
entitled to send both its teams

STATE COLLEGES UNITE
Plans Made for a Basket
ball, Association
A basketball association has
been formed among the North
Carolina colleges. On Saturday
night representatives from A. &
M., Wake Forest, Trinity, Elon,
Guilford, and Carolina met in
Raleigh and laid the foundations
for an organization which prom
ises much for athletics in the
State. The men present were:
W. C. Hopkins, of A. & M.; J. A.
Rand and Prof. Wilson, of Trin
ity; T. B. Henry and Carey Dowd,
of Wake Forest; R. S. Doak, of
Elon;C. G. Doak andH. A. Stew
art, of Guilford; R. O. Huffman
and Nat Cartmell, of Carolina.
These men elected officers as fol
lows: President, R. O. Huffman;
Vice-President, J. A. Rand; Sec
retary, C. G. Doak. A few sim
ple eligibility rules were agreed
upon. Trinity may not become a
member on account of the rules of
the S. I. A. A. Other meetings
will be held later and the organi
zation made more perfect.
What chiefly interests Carolina
men is the fact the association
means the renewal of relation
ships with A. & M. and Trinity,
something long desired by the
student body. If it works suc
cessfully, it may lead to baseball
and football contests. While in
Raleigh Manager Huffman ar
ranged a basketball game with A.
& M. in Raleigh 'on February
22nd. A return game will be
played in Chapel Hill, the date to
be decided upon later.
;
CONFERENCE ON READIMG
Under the leadership of Prof.
E.K. Graham between forty and
fifty men met in the Y. M. C. A.
Monday night tor the purpose of
starting aConference on Reading.
Those behind the scheme simply
wish to suggest valuable and in
teresting books to any student
who wishes to read on his own
accord.
Prof. Graham distributed lists of
books which he had prepared.
The seventy-odd volumes include
biography, political studies, es
says, and fiction. There is no
required work, nor anything at
all formal abous the Conference. It
was conceived to help those stud
ents who often want something
to read and don't know what to
get. This list is, in a sense, in
preliminary. If anyone, for in
stance, becomes interesting in
biography or essays, wishes to
read additional books, he may
obtain suggestions from members
of a committee is made up of
Archibald Henderson, J. G. deR.
Hamilton, J. F. Royster, J. M.
Booker, C. L. Raper, H. H.
Williams, L. R. Wilson, T. P.
Cross, G. M. McKie, and G. M.
Sneath.
At various time's members of
this committee will give informal
talks of a suggestive and inter
pretive nature on subjects con
nective with reading. Any stud
ent may become a member by
seeing Prof Graham. Freshmen
and Sophomores are especially
urged to take part.
THE FIRST ISSUE OF
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
High Standard Set for AH
future Numbers of the
Magazine
DR. L R. WILSON EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Milch. News of Interest to Alumni and
Friends of the University, and Many
Pictures Add to Its Attractive
ness One of the most attractive pub
lications that have appeared in
this state in a long time is the
University of North Carolina
Alumni Review, the first issue of
which has just come from the
presses of The Observer Printing
House. It is published by the
Alumni Association. Dr. Louis
Round Wilson is editor. The
associate editors are: Dr. George
T. Winston, class of 1866-1868:
Dean Edward Kidder Graham,
1898;. Dr. Archibald Henderson,
1898; Mr. William S. Bernard,
1900; Mr. John Kenyon Wilson,
1905; Mr. Louis Graves, 1902;
Mr. F. P. Graham. 1909, and Mr.
Kenneth Tanner, 1911. Mr. Wal
ter Murphy of Salisbury is man
aging editor. It will appear
monthly except in July, August,
September and January.
For months this initial number
has been awaited with some eag
erness and in quality and quantity
of contents it has proven itself
worth waiting for. The Alumni
Review is a dream come true
andTyet it is believed to be but the
beginning of greater things.
At the university commence
ment of L911 a concerted effort
was made looking to an efficient
organization of the alumni in
this and other states so that they
could be correlated into a work
ing force that would be of pow
erful assistance to the institution
in doing its duty and play
ing worthily its part in moulding
the future life of the State and
Nation. An Alumni Council of
fifteen was formed, the terms of
five members to expire each year.
That council approved the idea of
such a publication as is issued by
some of the great universities of
the North and it set to work assid
uously to make such an one here a
possibility. Field efforts by Mr.
W. H. Swift of Greensboro and Mr.
Murphy of Salisbury, with the co
operation of Carolina men through
out the State, brought hope
ful results and the university nu n
believe that the way is now pav
ed for splendid work.
There are 7,000 alumni and it
is expected that practiaily all of
these will subscribe to this publi
cation, every page of which
tingles with live news of interest
to university men. This will
make it an advertising medium of
distinct aud peculiar value, The
price is $1 yearly.
A handsome picture of Cald
well Hall adorns the front page.
The frontispiece is a picture of
the late Thomas Stephens Kenan
of the class of 1857, President of
the Alumni Association from
1895-9s until hi? death, Dec. 23,
