Line-up
In the game with V. M. I. this
afternoon, Carolina will be seen in
action on Emerson field for the
second time this season. The Ca
dets have been showing up well so
far this season, with a team simi
lar to that one which held Caro
lina to a 3-3 tie in Greensboro last
year.
It is hard to tell what style of
play Carolina will adopt this af
tei'noon, as all practice has been
secret this week and practically no
information has been given out as
to the condition of the team. The
game last Saturday, especially the
last half, shows the team to have
improved somewhat. Coach Camp

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATIONS
GRAPHICALLY DEPICTED
MORE THAN 500 STUDENTS AND
TOWNSPEOPLE ATTEND
PICTORIAL REVIEW
More than 500 students and
townspeople of Chapel Hill assem
bled at Gerrard Hall on Tuesday
night tosee the pictorial record of
Sir-Douglas Mawsons famous Ant
arctic expedition. In the six reels
of motion pictures, lasting over
two hours, the entire expedition
was pictured, from London, where
it was fitted out, to the South Pole
region, 10,000 miles from Ameri
ca and 2,000 miles from the near
est habitation in a land never seen
before by the eye of man. In this
region of water, ice, and snow the
ship bearing Mawson's men and
supplies was seen ploughing
through a sea almost covered with
floating snow, wending its way be
tween huge mountains of ice, pass
ing steep hills of solid coal which
rose abruptly out of the water, and
hurrying past dangerous shoals
where tho waves were dashing
against the rocks with terrific
force. At one place a dredge was
let down three miles into the depth
of the sea, and when it was brought
up it was found to contain 100
species of water creatures unknown
to science.
When the sea became so ob
structed with snow and icebergs
that further progress by water was
impossible, the party disembarked
and allowed the captain to return
with the ship. Leaving the rest of
the party in a hut near the shore,

DANCE FOR V. M. I. CADETS
AT THE GYMNASIUM TONIGHT
MEYER-DAVIS ORCHESTRA AND
MANY VISITING LADIES
TO BE PRESENT v
"And they're "going to have
Meyer Davis' Orchestra of . Wash
ington, D. C, I hear."
"Yeah, and the dance starts at
eight o'clock, so's to waste no
time. Glad it's going, to be in
formal. The last time I organized
a dress suit, I got all dressed be
fore I found out that the white
vest I borrowed had no buttons. I
had to use four chicklets with pins
stuck through them, and bent over
on the other side."
"It would be hard to borrow a
full dress now, too. The tax is
only fifty cents, and each member
of the German Club can bring as
many friends as he chooses, ex
cepting freshmen. Some crowd."
"Fifty cents. That's mighty
cheap, isn't it?"
"Well, you see the Faculty is
furnishing all the decorations (in
personam, as wall-flowers) and the
German Club provides the music.
Speaking of music, I hope he plays
some of that stuff from the 'Fol
lies.' The 'pleasuah' of the dance
depends on the kind of melodies
they have, I think."
"Wrong there! I should say
tho degree of joy is contingent up
on the quality of the chickens. I've
heard a lot about theso old south
ern, Virginia bom and bred beau
ties, but I believe we'll have some
calico here that'll make those V.
M. I. 'keydets' rub their eyes and
take another slant. Bet the girls
will give those brass buttons the
once-over, too. Do you know who
any of the fair visitors will be?"

OLIVER RAND INAUGURATES
STUDENT FORUM IN CHAPE
The new Student Forum fea
ture in Chapel exercises was inau
gurated Thursday morning with
Oliver Rand, President of the Se
nior Class, as speaker.
He took as his subject "Carolina
Spirit." He pointed out the fact
that within the past few years thd
University has grown from a close
ly knit college into a real Univer
sitv of 1200 men, each school of
which is now differentiated and
unified within itself.
"From one standpoint this looks
optimistic, but is itreall y so ? A
few years ago the whole Univer
sity came into close touch with
each other every day in Chapel;
now the whole college is never to
gether, and there is a lack of unity
among the Univtrsity as a whole.
"What is true Carolina Spirit,"
he asked. "It is not merely root
ing for the athletic teams, as some
seem to think. There are many
more ways in which to show this
spirit; support the glee club, the
dramatic club, and the debating
teams as well as the football team.
Support all other University acti
vities which go to make Carolina
bigger and better.
"It even takes spirit to pass
Math I, and every man can do his
part in showing Carolina spirit in
whatever field he works in every
thing he does." i
STUDENTS AND FACULTY
TO HEAR MR. TAFT SPEAK
Ex-President Taft will visit
the University again. Those who
heard his lectures last year on the
duties and powers of the presiden
cy, look forward with much pleas
ure to his return.
Mr. Taft will deliver an address
here on December 7th primarily
for the newspaper men of this
state in convention here, but stu
dents and faculty are invited to
hear him.
There will also be several other
prominent speakers at this convention.
CAROLINA LOSES TO TECH
IN HARD FOUGHT CONTEST
"GEORGIANS CRUMBLE IN LAST
HALF, BUT HAVE LEAD
SUFFICIENT TO WIN
"Those who witnessed, that
gruelling ' contest between the
North Carolinians and Tech Sat
urday will recall it with thrilling
vividness, even when they have
grown old and gray. For as a
sanguinary affair it must take rank
with the Battle of the Somme and
the scrap around Verdun. The
Jackets and Carolinians fought
like demons, and every man on the
two teams put everything he had
into the fray."
So said the Atlanta Journal in
summing up the Carolina-Georgia
Tech game which ended 1 0 to 7
in Tech's favor. -
And yet this closely contested
game started off very tame and
looked like an easy romp for Tech.
Within six minutes after the game
started, Strupper, star half-back
for Tech, caught a punt on the
50-yard line and by a brilliant
broken field run scored a touch
down. Shortly afterwards consis
tent runs by Strupper .and Johnson
carried the ball within striking dis
tance again and Spence raised a
drop-kick over the bars. Then
Carolina got mad. With the open
ing of the second half a mighty
drive was initiated by Folger.
Spence and ' Strupper, two of
Tech's best-players, were seriously
injured' and left the field. But
the Yellow Jackets succeeded in

ton, Lewis, Pickard, McGlamery,

CHAPEL HILL HIGH HAS
STRONG FOOTBALL TEAM
Tho Chapel Hill High School
football team, which heretofore
has been a thing more imaginary
than real, sprang into prominence
last week by defeating the Oxford
High School, 54 to 0. Though
made against a team much lighter
this score indicates that there is
some good material on the Chape'
Hill team. It has a line averaging
165 pounds and a back-field just
ten pounds lighter.
Under the direction of Coach
Hogan the team hopes to develop
into an effective machine, though
this is the first year that the Cha
pel Hill High School has had a
football team.
The schedule contains three
more games, to be played soon.
They are with Cary High School,
at Cary, Raleigh High School, at
Raleigh, and a reiturn game at
Chapel Hill.
The North Carolina Club held
its bi-monthly meeting Monday
night, and two very interesting
papers were presented one by J.
V. Baggett, on Primary Wealth
Production of Forest and Wood
Lots, and the other by L. II.
Hodges, on Fisheries, Mines and
Quarries.
On Saturday night, Oct. 28,
there will be a Box Supper at
Rankin's Chapel, two miles out
the Raleigh road. A crowd of la
dies from Chapel Hill will be pre
sent -with boxes. The sale will
begin at 8 o'clock. All are invited
to attend and enjoy the fun. If"
