H
Asheviile Loses To Raleigh Would Be Buyers of Books First Game Is Played Against
By a Decisive Score
The Raleigh Highs came, play
ed, and won. Thanks to the un
tiring efforts of Mr. E. R. Rati,
kin and Coach Trenchard the
State High School Championship
game was played here last Satur
day. 'The result that Raleigfh
won from Asheviile by the score
of 117 tot).
Asheviile, by virtue of- clean
cut victo"riesoverthe High School
elevens of western North Caroli
na and eastern Tennessee High
Schools, won the championship
of western North Carolina and
came here to play with Raleigh,
the champions of eastern North
Carolina.
Rah igh had defeated every
tgh School eleven of - any im
portance, in the east and also the
John Marshall " eleven at Rich
mond. Raleigh outweighed her oppo
nents 12 pounds to .the man and
as a result, the champions of
1913 ploughed through the Ashe
viile line at will. Raleigh showed
good team work, ami did not lack
the drive! Johnson ran his team
well, was in every play, and
whenever his turn came to carry
the. ball, he usually got away for
long gains He is undoubtedly
the best High School quarter
back that has played football in
the state since the days of Kill
Coffin, formerly of Greens! oro,
now one of the stars of the Unit
ed States Military Academy. Nor
does that retract, in any way,
from .the. 'prowess "of his team
mates; Champin, Mills, and Bovcu
are all stars. Each man runs
well with the ball and hits the
line like a triphammer. Another
feature of the work of this back
Held is its interference for the
man carrying the ball. Every
player hits his man and does it
effectively.
Supporting, or rather aiding,
this backfiek: is a heavy, strong,
line which always opens up a
hole, for the backs, and on the
effensive, seldom allows an op
ponent to slip through. As a
whole, the team is experienced
and shows the result of good
coaching. Guy Phillips, '13,
certainly has produced one of the
best high school football teams
ever seen in the state.
On the. other hand, the Ashe
viile team, though beaten decis
ively, fought to the last. They
were outweighed and outgeneral
ed, but not outfought. Randolph,
Asheville's quarter-back, was the
star of his team. lie played hard
at all times, tackled well, and
showed real football ability. It
was evident that the Asheviile
team lacked both experience and
training-.
Notwithstanding- the decisive
score, the game wasasucces both
financially and otherwise. According-
to Mr. Rankin, the proceeds
were sufficient to pay expenses
and to start a fund towards the
State High School Basket-ball
Championship.
In his efforts to sell tickets,
Mr. Rankin was agisted by the
Have Opportunity
"A complete edition of Shake
speare, silk binding, "gold leaf,
the only un purged edition sold
in the Slate, no notes, just as
Shakespeare wrote it. Shake
speare said, 'To thine own self
be true, and then it follows like
the night the day. thou cau'st
not to any man be false.' Wha
am I offered? Fifty cents'; -'Only
fifty cents for a book costing
three dollars. Who'll give me
seventy-live? Sixty I'm offered,
seventy-five. Who'll make it a
dollar? ' Eighty I'm offered, a
dollar, a dollar ten. Going- for a
dollar ten. Am I offered a dollar
twenty? Going for a dollar
ten, once; going for a dollar ten.
twice;' a dollar ten gets this valu-j
able book." ' i
Yesterday afternoon just is the j
mail was put up, a vender of
books was to be seen standing on
his goodsboxes near Pendcr
graph's stand, disjosing of his
wares to the highest bidder. His
stock, which was diversified, to
say the least, varied from "Les'j
Miserahles" to "Hell's Commerce j
or What I Know About Rum" I
and back again through ''A
Favorite Cook liook". A Con-
sideiuble crowd had gathered!
around the purveyor of literature!
to htar him laud his wares, and j
possibly invest a stray "twoj
bits" in some bargain, when the
village Constable approached. !
"You will have to pay ten doH
Jars tax if yon sell those books."!
"Well, I'll close upshop, Chief, j
there's not that much in it."
So Apple Jack is again the vil-j
lage autocrat.
A Community Christmas Tree.
Chapel Hill is to celebrate
Christmas this year by having a
community Christmas tree. 1 1ns
plan has been tried in niany
towns of the South and West in
the last vear or two and has
proved a decided innovation. The ;
exercises will be held on Christ
mas Kve on the compus between
the Battle Dormitory and the
University Inn.
Greater Council and it is due in
larire measure to the untiring
efforts of Coach Trenchard and
the members of the Greater
Council that a surplus now exists
instead of deficit.
Durham Y. M. C.A.
With only one week of practice
and with only one regular player
in the line up, Carolina's basket
ball team lost the first game of
the season Saturday night. Caro
lina did not play in anything like
her proper form, and many times
easy chances at goals were missed.
The absence of Johnson from
the line up was felt keenly. Tan
dy, at center, w was out of the
game on account of sickness;
Tennanl . and Andre.ws, guards,
were away with the Glee Club.
With the regular team, Dur
ham would have had less show,
and as it was, they had to fight
for their victory. v
The first half started off with
a goal for the Y. M.'C. A. Caro
lina evened up and each team
then had a chance at goal on
foul. Durham then took the lead
and kept it. during the entire
game. The rust half ended with
the score 12 to 7 in favor of Dur
ham. In the second half, Homewood,
of football fame, was substituted
for Davis at guard, and immedi
ately began to liven things up.
Home wood seemed to put ne w
spirit in the team and the g-ame
was much livelier toward the end.
But the lead secured by Durham
was too great, and the game end
ed with the final score of 22 to 14.
Capt. Long showed his old
time form in passing, but was
weak in shooting goals. Practice
is all he needs. Lochran at the
other forward -.'and. Holding at
center played well for new men.
Fuller, Davis, and Homewood -at
guards did some good work but
were unable to hold the fast Y.
M. C. A. forwards in check. For
the visitors, Carrington and Clay
did the best work.
The line up of the teams Sat
urday night was:

Question of Ship Subsidy to
Be Discussed.
It will be especially gratifying
to all those interested in debating
to know that an even larger num
ber of Hig-h Schools have entered
the High School Debating Union
this year than did last year.
Last year 150 schools entered,
with approximately 1,100 contest
ants. It will be remembered
that some 200 of these contest
ants came up here to Chapel Hill
to compete in the finals. This
year 225 schools have entered
with approximately '-.1,00 con
testants. That will . make some
300, who will come up here in the
spring to enliven campus life.
Out of the hundred, counties in
the state 'JO are represented in
this debate. '
The Debating- Union has ar
ranged so that about 50,' 000 will
hear the debate on this pertinent
question, which is as follows:
Resolvedvthat the United States
should adopt thepolicy of subsidizing-
its Merchant Marine en
gaged in foreign trade. Last
year about 30,000 people heard
the debate on the question of the
initiative and referendum.
Since the query for the Soph
Junior debate is also that of sub
auy, the debate will be heard by
quite a number of students from
the nieghboring High Schools
who wish to get points for their
debate. Mr. A. H. Wplfe and
Mr. P. II . Gwyn of '10 aud '12
respectively, teachers in ihe Dur
ham High School, will bring the
contestants from that place over
to hear the debate. Among the
cotestahts are several girls.
The Chapel Hill High School
has entered the debate this year
for the first time. Among the
contestants is one Oley Gooch.
The two other High Schools with
which Chapel Hill has to debate
are Graham and Burington.

Carolina Loses Second Bas
ketball Game.
The Tar Heel basketball squad
journeyed over to Durham last
night to meet the Y. M. C. A.
team, aud were defeated 44 to 25.
Although the team was strength
ened by the presence of Andrews
at forward, they were outclassed.
The team did not play in any
thing like the form they are
capable of. Holding at center
has not yet developed as it was
hoped he would. Andrews was
the only man on the team who
featured for Carolina. Holcomb
was the star for the Y. M.'C. A.,
having thrown seven field goals
and eight fouls.
