Out of a schedule of nine yatnes Carolina has come through eight and stands now the pinnacle of the season. Wake Forest, Vir ginia Medical College, Davidson, South Carolina, and Wake For est again have been incidents. V, 1. I., Georgia, and Washing ton and Lee have jumped into victory in . the first half with enough momentum to withstand the fierce come-back of an awak ened team that has been laughed at odds and slashed savagely at a seemingly secure lead. Discour agingly raw at the first of the season and regarded as an uncer tain proposition, Captain Aber nathy's men have gradually come together through a string of vic tories and defeats, always learn ing, until they have acquired inorje, football than they them selves think. Six more days and they make their final charge. Virginia, Richmond, Thanksgiv ing Day words to conjure with in Tar Heel land. Out on the field and in that class-room in the Peabody Build ing a swarm of coaches are put ting on the final touches. Tren ch ard, Pendleton, Wilson, Blue then thai, Reynolds, Cox, Garret, Wiggins, Seagle, Howell, Man gum, giants all in old days, form a cordon of critics that takes in every detail from a clean tackle to a broken shoe-string. The wisdom of twenty years of foot ball is being -shot, into receptive minds and bodies. The perfect ing touches are smoothing out the wrinkles. The men are be-1 ing groomed for the fight. Its football time in Carolina. The air rustles with excitement the team a hghting chance and they will do the rest. Out of it all comes the setting for a superb contest. The event of events is almost at hand. Al Carolina is rising to meet it Everything else is cast aside tor the supreme occasion of the year Virginia stands a challenge Carolina, always responding prepares for one final fling. THE STATEMENT. The recent number of the Alumni Review (November) con tains an authontattve statement of the facts concerning the can celling of the A. and M. game The statement is simple,straight- forward, honest, and convincing It covers the whole situation, raises no personal issue, and leaves little to be desired. It is exactly the sort of statement that should have been issued when the game was cancelled. At that time it would have shown clearly the position of the Uni versity to an interested and criti cal state; and its dignity would have set a high tone to the rather childish outburst that followed q u i t e naturally, it must be confessed. Its appear ince now in the Review is better than no statement at all. The Alumni are due an explanation But it cannot possibly be as ef fective as when the iron was hot. The weeks that have followed have allowed the first impres sions, gained trom misleading newspaper reports, to sink so deep in the minds of ftiends and enemies that it will be difficult to remove them. The psychologi cl moment was thrown away. At the same time the state ment will be satisfying to the ew who will see it. It shows that the athletic authorities of the University acted in an up right a n d sensible manner. Placed in their position few peo ple would nave conceded so much. They sacrificed a good deal to get the game because. ike the majority of Carolina men, they wanted it. But there is a limit to everything. Neither in wisdom nor in honor nor in self-respect could they have al ow e d i t t o b e played. Once and for all we say that the members or the committee were right in cancelling the game. We regret that they did not see tit to issue the statement three PATTERSON DRUGGISTS. NEXT WEEK.

Last year the community was slapped on the back with the news that a tremendous sum of money had been appropriated for a now post-oflice to replace the totally inadequate building of the present. Everybody breath ed a sigh of relief, and properly owners in the town dreamed dreams. Some little time has and nerves are stretched to the passe(1 ani very little progress point.

Out across the campus rings the ever hope ful "On to Richmond".- Down at the postoffice the murmur is of "the. Minnesota shift", ''old coaches", "Jefferson Hotel", and "Broad Street Park". Every where the talk is of Richmond and Virginia. Virginia games have come and gone and will eome and go, but always there is only one the game at hand. Here's the opportunity to come back; here's the chance to upset everything. A lighting chance? What more do you want? Give McRae is working mightly to s t i t u p Washington.
