C Royall, Jr., the Sophs and C. M. Fleming the Freshmen. If you don't look out they will have' some real class basketball in a few minutes.-. The Greater Council suggested the thing at its last meeting and the fans of the game at once started things going. The inconvenience of a place to play has been the cause of delayed action. The Seniors appointed Ratty Ranson to manage their class basketball team. Monday the Juniors met. Besides electing Shep Bryan manager of class Tennis and George Eutsler man ager of class track, they selected Shag-Thomson to manage their part of class basketball. Tues day the Freshmen and Sopho mores met to elect managers for their teams. G C. RoyallJr. was chosen by the Sophs and C. M. Fleming by the Freshmen.

Ooykin, ja government road expert, on the general subject of "Good Roads." Mr. Boy kin's talk began with the statement that North Caro lina was one of the five most backward States in the move- mem lor better highways. All ; Uie States save rive have state . "Highway Commissions." Then ie went on to show wliy a com mission of this sort is needed in every State; how bad roads were a direct tax to the users in the time consumed in hauling; in re pair bills for vehicles and in lack of efficiency of schools and how the commission could better thesecircumstanc.es. The time for hauling stapie products, such as cotton, for in stance, was reduced to less than one tenth over a certain stretch of road in a county in Tennessee by improved highways. This was done by increasing the load from one bale at a time to ten and by decreasing the time neces sary to haul one load. The wear and tear on vehicles was greatly reduced at the same time, thus making the bills for repair a minimum. The school system in this same county was able to reach 100 per cent more children as a direct re sult of the improved facilities for reaching them. The next point Mr. Boy kin took up was the way to secure the best roads at the least ex pense. He brought his discus sion under three heads, i. e., draining, grading, anil surfacing. The first step in proper drain age of roads is making the cen ter higher than either side and having a gradual slope between the two (say one inch to the foot). This is called the road crown. The next step consists in sup plying suitable culverts, and , drains at each side. He showed j by very apt illustrations the fal- lacy of wooden culverts and bridges, vhich, though cheap to install, are not at all permanent, concrete, and clay pipe, buried sufficiently deep being very much to be preferred. Next he showed various types of mud holes and the way they should be treated. He finished the discussion of drainage by showing a picture of a model of the various types of underground drains. As an ex of properly- ul-.ample Ot tlie COSt draining a road, he showed a road in Kansas which had cost time'&U.oO ner mile to drain urooerlv. r I' . . l V Next to proper drainage, he said, comes proper grading. The whole object of grading is make the road as nearly level to as ne showed many illustrations of . . foa(1 macl,,nes wnlch saved . . ...i.,,: and money by supplanting ue' labor. time man- The surfaces of roads are many Concluded on third jng CAROLINA' SINKS BEFORE W. & L Carolina Scored on During Second Quarter Twice PARKER DOES BEST WORK AT FULLBACK In Field of Mud, Carolina Holda W. & L's. Heavy Team except in One Quarter. Carolina Used Only Eleven Men in Entire Contest, W. & L. Substituted Often. O" and in a pond of red mud and water, Carolina lost to Wash ington and Lee, 14 to 0. This happened at Lynchburg, Va., "Fair", Grounds. When the game was called with eleven minutes to play in, the last quar ter, Carolina: had the ball on W. & L, 10 yard line, and first down. Carolina used eleven men only, not a subslituiioii being 'made luring the :..ei:liiv : con lest. As usual. Carolina's opponents did all their scoring in the second quarter. Gn an off-side penalty, the ball was put on the Carolina 1 yard line. On a beautiful tackle, Huske threw the W. & L. runner for a three yard loss. The next two plays, a line buck, and an end run, netted nothing. On the fourth, Young went over for a touchdown, in spite of a hard tackle by Huske. A few minutes later, Young, attempting to kick on fourth down and 25 yards to go, fumbled, recovered and went straight down the side line for a touchdown. Mile's interference was the chief cause. Carolina had the old comeback in the third, but a costly fumble by Parker On the four , .fathoms mark cut off a touchdown in the third. W. & L. kicked off to Parker who returned well. Foust kick ed, and Carolina then played de fensive for the rest of the half. W. & L. ran line plays down to the line but were held repeatedly. Twice with goals to go, the W. & L. boys failed to swim through On the second attempt, they tried to sail through on a pass but Tayloe received .the pass and dived back for five yards. Foust kicked to safety, and the quarter ended with W. & L. stranded in the center of the field. After live minutes of play in the second, Foust kicked out of bounds, right by the W. & L. floats In the confusion of argu ing where the ball went out, W. & L. substituted two men but left one squattin on the tne shore by the other players. A pass lo him netted 20 yards, an end run netted more. A five yard pen ii ty put the ball on .Carolina's ' M inch line. It took four plays lo put it over. Miller kicked clean ly. During this quarter, Caro lina ran four plays, Fuller twice, Tayloe twice. Both gained about K yards once, and were downed on the line the other times. On the third leg of the race, the Tar Heels pulled themselves out of the mud and played ball in spite of the restarting down pour Parker again and again plung ed through the line for from half to. two fathoms. Never did he fail to gain. Twice he fumbled, Continued on Third 1'une, n fl
