THE
BRAIN SHAPES OF
SAMUEL LYLE JR
FOURTH BOOK OF POEMS
TO COME FROM THIS
AUTHOR OF '08
SEVERAL POEMS WERE IN MAGAZINE.
T,Tle fu Member ol Odd Number
Club, ana ahuwi1
of the Magazine. Now Runs N ews-
paper and a Mercantile business.
Book Has Twenty-three Poems.
Students and alumni of t h c
.University will be especially in
terested in "Brain-Shapes" which
is just off the press of the Ran
dall Printing' Co., of Macon, Ga.
The author is Mr. Samuel II.
Lylc, Jr., of the Class of 1908,
whose home is at Franklin, N.
C This is the fourth book of
verse produced by Mr. Lyle, the
other three being "Leaver or
Life." "Ways of Men," and "By
Ways." Mr. Lyle began his work as a
writer while a student in the
University, during which time he
was a frequent contributor to the
University Magazine, lie was a
member of the Odd Number Club
and was assistant editor-in-chief
ot the Magazine during 1907-08,
being elected to that position by
the Dialectic Society. Some of
his best verse was written while
in college and printed in the
Magazine.
Since leaving college Mr. Lvle
has been running a newspaper in
Franklin, N. C. In addition to
his work as an author and an edi
tor, he is actively engaged in
business, being a member of a
mercantile linn at Franklin.
t4Brain-Shapes" consists o f
twenty-three poems, all of which
are pleasing in heir lyrical quali
ties. Their easy and simple
rhythm stamp them as the natu
ral expression of the author's
feeling and experiences. One
.may easily imagine that Mr. Lyle
is still a student in the Universi
ty as he reads the following se
lection from "Mist of Dreams:"
"What joys untold the years
may hold,
Or what of bitter rue,
The world tonight seems only
bright
Dreaming, dear heart of you!"
Perhaps the predominant
characteristic of these poems is
tlieirdepth of feeling and admi
ration for that which is good,
whether it be found in man's in
ner consciousness or represented
by the following poem which the
author calls "Success,"
"Men came and looked upon
his work,
And marveled much and cried
'How mightily your hands have
wrought!'
' Hesmiled, butnaupht replied.
For when the night was dark
and still,
With other men apart,
He faced his own accusing soul.
And Failure clutched h i s
heart!"
or in a personality, as expressed
in "Woman Mine:"

DURING HOLIDAYS TOO
Carolina Defeats Charlotte
Y. M. C. A. Two Games.
Carolina has added two more
victories to its basketball record
for 1913-14, and these victories
over a team that has high hopes
for state championship. During
the holidays N. C. played the
Charlotte Y. M. C. A. team
on their home floor (which in
deed is the home floor of three
Carolina players) two games,
and won both of them in decisive
ga mes.
The first game, played Monday
night, December 29th, was a very
fast and close-running contest,
and from start to finish the vic
tory was in doubt. Charlotte
puts out a good team every year,
and the team this year, 'though
light, is one of its fastest. Car
olina was kept on the go all of
the first half, and a greater of
the last half, but in the end came
out with an eleven point lead.
Dowd and Long were working
together well in forwards while
Tenent easily held his man down,
and with Cy Long working good
at the other guard kept the balls
coming into the forward's hands.
Charlotte was very much handi
capped by the absence of Crowell
an old Trinity star, both in pass
ing and in scoring. The game
ended with the score 43 to 32 for
Carolina.

The second game was a little
easier for Carolina and ended 53
to 29. After the first half there
was almost no doubt as to whose
the victory was. Both teams
were working about the same as
the night before. Edwards pull

Dr. Bain was elected President
of a newly formed Southern sec

EARLE MACK TO BE COACH
Manager McLendon Resigns.
Woollen Elected.
It may be but a few days since
the'Varsity football season closed
all over the country; the State
High School championship may
be just decided; the class rag may
still be anybody's prize except
the Seniors; and basketball may
be just beginning; but with all
this the athletic authorities are
not too much engrossed to re
member that baseball, though
hibernating, is still on the ath
lete's map; and that it will pre
sent its visiting card in not so
many weeks, even before peren
nial youth hangs out her green
announcements from the branches
at the Davie Poplar. In prepa
ration for this appearance our
athletic officials have for some
time had several men under con
sideration for baseball coach for
the 1914 season. They finally
decidedonEarleMacU; and at their
request he came down Saturday
from Philadelphia for a confer
ence with Albert Cox, for the
alumni, Head Coach Trenchard,
and Graduate 'Manager -McLendon.
The conference was satis
factory and, except in the ex
tremely improbable event of ob
jection by the authorities of the
Carolina League, Earlc Mack will
coach Carolina this spring, re
porting about February 1,
Mr. Mack scarcely needs an
introduction to the merest novice
of a baseball fan. He is well
remembered as the pleasant and
efficient manager of the Raleigh
Baieball Club last season. And
if any more were needed, it is
enough merely to add that he is
the son of Connie Mack.
Another item of interest to
Carolina and her alumni is the
resignation some time ago of Mr.
L. P. McLendon, for the last year

meeting since the time of Christ"
and the facts give it justification.'
Each 'college generation or once
every four years for the last
twenty-eight years this organi

Each has been a wonderful im
provement upon the other. The
object of the convention is to
present the need of Christ to the
world. The convention fulfilled
its mission. Out of 39X4 students

more Japanese, Indians, Africans

day. Every meeting of the con
vention began and closed prompt
ly on time John R. Mott, of
that great trinity of christian
workers among college men of
whom the other two are Robert
E. Speer and Sherwood Eddy,
was chairman of all meetings
morning and night. At the
morning meetings the various
needs, the various fields, the var
ious methods were discussed in
twenty minute talks. Men had
been preparing.-for months to
make these. Several crossed a
sea to deliver the same. AH
were leaders in their lines.
