HEEL tit, 1 AK W OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 23 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1914 NO. 1 r r i I BRIGHTEST PROSPECTS OPENING President Graham and Dean Stacy Talk' to Students Changes in The Faculty : Campus Changes President E. K. Graham of ficially opened the 120th session of the University of North Caro lina and his administration as President in Memorial Hall before 1,000 students and faculty on noon Thursday. The seven Deans of the Departments, Ex President Battle, Rev. Moss of . . 1 1 . 4 -f President Graham occupied the platform. . After an opening prayer by 'Rev. Moss the student body sang the University Hymn. President Graham then made the announce ments regarding faculty'chatiges, physical changes and improve "nAnls and the enrollment to date. . He then introduced Prof. Stacy, newly appointed Dean of the Col ; lege of Liberal Arts, who ad dressed the audience on the sub-j.-ct of Regulations. President Graham made a speech in which he touched on the influence of the great European war on Southern education. He said, "The war will result in the greatest opportunity ever given to college men for service." "Hail to Carolina" was sung by the student body who were then dismissed, with prayer by Rev. Moss. A student rally, which immediately formed out side, gave college yells, , prom inent among them being one for the "New men" which shows the splendid spirit which has grown up in regard to the freshmen. President Graham in his speech ,N,upset all fears of a subnormal registration by announcing that the latest registration figures showed 855 students registered, : which" is almost a hundred , more than at this time last year. Last year was the Uuiversity's banner year in the question of attend V ance. It is probable that the final figures for the year will total close to the 1,000 nmk as a large number will register today and in fact the rest of the week. 'I The announcement of the regis . tration figures was greeted with applause, v The changes in the faculty are small. Dr. Venable enters the chemical department after four teen years in the president's chair which was in turn pveceed ed by sixteen years in the chemi ' cal department. Other additions are Prof. E. C. Branson, Prof. Z. B. Judd, Prof. J. H. Hanford, Prof. Foester and Instructors Dargon and Thornton. There have been three import. ant changes in the physical equipment of the University. The modern filtration plant is in operation. The new cooperative Dininir Hall is open 'to students. In the matter of food this marks epoch in the history of the col- letre. President Graham also announced that the proposed Emerson Athletic field would probablv be finished by the endlboys will be started at Swam of the year. This field was HARK OF THE UNIVERSITY promised at last commencement by Dr. Emerson of Baltimore, art alumnus. He is at present in Europe and construction is await ing his return. ' Prof. Stacy explained the spirit of the regulations made by the faculty for the government of the college. There are two conceptions of a college qommun ity, declared the Dean, one being that it is a case of the faculty versus the students; the other that the work of the University is a unit. "The difference between the faculty and the students is large ly a matter of age-the hopes, ideals and aims are the same. The great work of the Univer sity is the self-development of every individual element. There fore the only regulations needed are those necessarv to ensure the greatest effeciency. President Grahauimade an ap peal for the larger view and the hiffher staudard of conduct. He declared the student's life here could be made what he wanted it to be. lie can either merit the statement that "He lives in a spado wide'' or he can live on the "road that leads , to the end of the world." President Graham believes that one good result ot the war is making the world realize that it is concerned how the other half lives. The fact that men in North Car olina suffer because of a declara tion of war on the other side of the world will eventually hasten the brotherhood of man. "The opportunity for civiliza tion in the United States will be matchless," he declared. "That will result in the greatest oppor tunity ever given to college men." "As to whether you will lead in Southern education will be de nertnined largely this year" he said, addressing the students. DR. WEATHERFORD HERE Speaks to Students To-night - at Gerrard Hall Dr. Weatherford of Vanderbilt, International ,:- Secretary of the Y, M. C. A. will speak to the students in Gerrard Hall to-night.

Work of Kanuga Led by Head Coach "Doggie" Trcnchard and coaches Cunning ham and Bluethcnthal a squad of more than sixty men have answer ed the call for fall practice. And have you noticed the appearance of the squad this year? The fel lows have a knowledge of the game. They look like veterans' The preliminary work, such as blocking, punting, falling on the ball, receiving punts, making and receiving passes, is under way. The men are not only be-j ing instructed on the field, but at night, talks are given by the coaches, rules are being learned and discussed. Sure, rule books are made to study as well as to contain photographs. For the first signal practise the team lined upas follows: quarter, Allen; halves, Capt. Tayloe and Fuller; Ervin, Full; ends, Home wood and Grimsley; tackles, Ramsey and Jones; guards, Cow ell and Foust; centre, Tandy. All save Grimsley and Jones were from last year's varsity, and Jones was varsity centre two years ago. Competition? Well, yes. There is a group of men fighting for every position. Among those who are trying to supplant Home wood and Huske as end. are Har ry Grimsley, Meb Long, "Icky" Bourne, Love, and Wright of last year's scrubs; Nicholson an ex '11 man, "Babe" William son, Coleman; Erwin, a prep man. Williamson starred on the class field last year, while Coleman is one of the best punters on the field. Red Allen, last year's quarter, will have opposition in Bridges, a star from Castle Heights, and in Valley from last year's A. & M. squad. Bridges is the heavi est, passes well, and is fast. Capt. Dave Tayloe, "Pling" Fuller, Ervin, and Parker of last year's varsity backfield are back again Reid, Tennant, Bill Pope, and "Scipio" Burnett were scrubs last year. Promising new men are Blount, Tanner, Black, Pierson, and Denning. Co well and Foust, (He of the twinkling toe) have strong oppo- ' sitioH at guard. Andrews, Bul ilock, and Proctor were here last .year. Holding C, Price, Nelson, a Fishburne Academy boy, John I Tayloe, Capt. Dave's brother, (Stucey, Ilatsell, and Burgess are promising. J Big Ab's absense leaves a va cancy at tackle. Ramsay, ac cording to Coach Wilson, "the best seventeen year old tackle I 'ever saw", isagaininhis position. Among those who are trying for I "Capt. Ab's" place are Jim Pritchett, a scrub two years ago, Hambley of Asheville School, Holding, G.; Marsh. Spain, Ho gan, Perry, and Wilson. At centre, Yank Tandy, star linesman of last year's varsity, IN MID SEASON Training Camp at Lake Successful. will find Higgins, of last -year's scrubs, Jones, and several other opposed to him. . Doggie says that the team i two weeks ahead of that of last, year's in knowledge of the game, in experience, . and condition. That is directly traceable to three things, spring practice, the sum mer camp, and organized class and High School ball. Added to the good material, Carolina Iihs the best coaching staff in the South even 'better than that of last year if such a. thing is possible. As backfield .-1. Tl 11'., U- Jo r,1rr.i . by Cunningham, Princeton ''11. Cunningham is rated as one of the four best coaches in the coun try the others being1 Haughton. of Harvard, "Hurry Up" Yost of Michigan, and Williams of Min nesota. Instead of Wilson; line coach, we have Bluthenthal a ua. tiveof Wilmington and conceded to be one of the best ceutres that Princeton ever had. Doggie will take care of the ends. 'Nuff said . On account ot the bummer Training Camp at Kannuga Lake in August the team is far ahead" of last year's at this same time. The boys are well trained even now in the fine points of the game and are ready sor scrimmaging. The scrimmaging has already be gun and the boys are only too glad ' to get in there and scrap. Come out and watch them fight. ; THE STAR COURSE It Stars of Course! The season tickets for the Star Course are now being sold at Patterson's Drug Store. They are going at a pretty good pace at present. As outlined in the Chapel Mon day morning there will be five cracking good shows put over this season. Edwin Weeks leads off and the Dunaway Company presenting "The Lady of the Decoration" closes. The Hall Riheldoffer -Skibinsky Company Grand Opra, is the Star Attnu--tion, it being secured at quite a sacrifice. The general opinion is that this season's shows will be the best ever given and students are are rapidly taking on to the new season ticket arrangement. The faculty will have a central por tion of the downstairs set aside for them. Alumni Review Will Appear October 1st The first Fall nnmber of the Alumni Review will appear about October the first, and thereafter about the middle of each' month uutil June.' It will come out earlier in October than the usual time in order to announce to the Alum- ni the plans for University Day on October 12th.
