MASS MEETING HELD
FOR THE TEJ
The Students Practice Songs
and Yells for Thanksgiving
Game With Virginia
MR. GRAHAM AND MR. BOOKER SPEAK
Keynote of Meeting Was "Regardless
of Record, Whether Winning or
Losing, the Team is Our Team Al
the Time.
Last Friday night in Chape
a r- usinsr mass meetintr was
held with the object in view o
stirring- up renewed enthusiasm
in the football team and the
game that is to be played with
our dearest rivals. Virginia, in
Broad Street park, , Richmond',
next Thursday, the same being
Thanksgiving Day.
Walter Stokes, chief leader,
opened the meeting by leading
a hearty Boomer-er-ray for the
team. He then introduced Prof
E. K. Graham as the first speak
er of the interest renewing meet
ing.
Prof. Graham stated that he
"had noi come to bury Caesar,
nor to praise him," but to make
a plain presentation of the case
as it appeared to him
"Our team," he said, "has
not made a brilliant record thus
tar; we know that. But our team
is made up of , the l est that we
have and demands our loyalty
and support just the same as if
it had a championship record
behiud it. True loyalty counts
for more than anything else
The team has played so far and
will play on Thanksgiving Day
just in proportion to the amount
of true loyal support that is
given it. If we fail to do our
part, then we can't expect them
to play winning football.
"Support the team; go out on
the field every afternoon
until Thanksgiving, and root
hard. That team represents hot
only us but thousands of alumni;
help it to be representative in a
true Tar Heel way in Richmond
next Thursday."
Prof. Booker followed up Mr.
Graham with a short practical
talk on the necessity of our get- '
ting together and showing that
we are together. He was loudly
cheered when he said:

i TOLSOK STARS THROUGH CENTER
COACHES PUT ON FINISHING TOUCHES FOR THE VIRGINIA
GAME IN HARDEST AND LONGEST SCRIMMAGES OF THE 'YEAR
The final preparation for thejattention to forward passes and
Virginia game has been severe
and thorough y'oeing. ll.ird
all of l.i st week,
culminating in a regular game
Saturday, were held under the
direction of the conches. The
work has been secret until Satur-
ay. At night to there have
been signal practice and black
board talks regularly.
The presence of additional
coaches who have come for the
final polishing of the team has
helped mightily. Foremost
among them has been "Doggie"
enchard. the old Princeton
dayer and former Carolina coach
Mr. Tienchard has been with
the Princeton team most ol this
season and has brought much
good advice along with him. His
ability to get fight . and einger
nto a team, as well as his expert
nowledge.of end play has had
noticeably good results. George
rhomas, captain of the '08 learn,
las been here all the week too.
In the scrimmages Coaches
Martin and Trenchard have been
driving the Varsity while coaches
Cartmell and Thomas have urg
ed on the Scrubs. 'The latter
team has played tip-top ball all
season and especially the past
week. Their line-plunging On
(Saturday was powerful enough to
rush the ball over (0 yards on
successive plays
several new. formations for this
play have been perfected. One
of the touchdowns in Saturday's
scrimmage came on a pass from
De Vane to Strange.
The exact line up of the team
on -Thursday is uncertain on ac
count of injnries to several men.
Abenathy's injury is most serious
but it is hoped, tnat he will be
able to play, His presence means
much to the line as he is a vet
eran of three years experience and
will have a steadying' -effect.--It
the backfield Wakeley and Apple
white are in poor shape, though
Uhey should come around in time.
.Their condition and the shifting
of little Abernathy .to guard has
necessitated moving Foust from
end to full.
At ends Huske and Homewood
seem to have the first call, though
Strange will probably be used too.
Stevens and Abernathy haye been
the regular tackles. While 44Ab"
has been out, Jennings has taken
his place. At guard Johnson and
little Abernathy succeeded John
son before the game was over,
Jones seems safe at center. On
the defence be is being used at
guard, while "little Ab" backs up
the line.
Captain Tillett at quarter is
playing the best game of his
caaeer and is the life and strength
of the entire team. Tayloe's

SECONDARY SCHOOLS PLEASED WITH
- DEBATING UNION -
The movement launched by
the literary societies two
weeks aero to form a State-wide
debating union of the high
schools of North Carolina has
thus far met with admirable sue
cess. The plan which provides
for the formation of a network of
secondary schools for stimulating
debating- has already been re
sponded to by 47 representative
schools of the State. The list
includes the High Schools of Ral
eigh Charlotte, Salisbury, States-
ville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro,
Washington, Henderson ville, Ox
ford, Lenoir, and other foremost
schools of the State. The com
mittee promoting this debating
union has been active in ar
ranging the query to be debated,
the prize to be awarded, and other
technicalities toward making the
union a thorough-going one,
The prize, by name "The Aycock
Memorial Cup", will be a contri
bution by the local chapter of the
Tau Kappa Alpha fraternity,
! which is composed of inter-col
legiate Carolina debaters.
The query that will bedebated
by members of the union is: "Re
solved, That the constitution ol
North Carolina should be so
amended as to allow women to
vote under the same qualification
as men." Increased interest is
added to this query because of
the recent election in Oregon,
Michigan, Kansas, and Arizona,
in which amendments were
adopted allowing women to vote.
This movement will be brought
directly to the attention of the
teachers of the State at the
meeting of the Teachers' Assem
bly, in Greensboro, November
27-30, by Mr. C. E. Mcintosh, of
the Durham High School, who
was influential in planning the
whole scheme.

i Am Amateur Night where
there was no call of " Get tlTe
hook"; an A matourNigrht where
there was more fruit, raisins,
crackers and cheese, cigars and
cigarettes, than the crowd could
consum ; an Amateur Night
where processors sat on tables
and stood on tables, and students'
put their feet up as high as they
pleased, threw banana peels and
cigar stumps on the floor, and
where even "Cizzors" smoked a
coffin tack; such an Amateur'
Night did the Dramatic Club
pulled off in the receptiori hall of
the Y. M. C. A. Friday evening.
Needless to say, it was an un
qualified success, both from a
social and a dramatic standpoint.
There was no regular program;
Amateur Night precludes $uch an
idea. Walter Stakes opened the .
evening by reading a negro
poem which struck the keynote
of the evening a good time.
Then things started up. When .
Meeks felt like singing, he sang.
Anyone played as the spirit mov
ed him. Occasionally the whole
crowd, about eighty-live, sang a
college song. Doug Rights
mounted the table and set every
one laughing with a string" of
puns on the names of the various
college students. Tolson, who
was the particular star of the
evening, pulled off some good
comic reciting-, and at any pause
during the rest of the evening,
he was called on and always res
ponded with something- worth
seeing or listening to, or both.
He was good at anything from
poetry to dancing His compos
ition on the billy goat was fine,
but as he said"The goat lost out
when noses was fust invented.
His clog- occompanied by Lip
scomb with his mouth'', orcan.
brought down the house. Cogg
ing, btrong and Jiogan volun-
'eered to shake a foot. John
Johnson entertained the club for
some time with amusing sketches
and lokes. He requested that
while he talked everyone be quiet
as orie mule braying at a time
was enough.
