second period closed the half.
Bertschey opened the second

then lost the ball on a fumble, and
a forward pa3s, Folger to Tennent,
followed by line plunges by,the lat
ter, resulting in another touchdown
for Carolina. In the fourth quar
ter two 30 yard runs by Folger
and two line plunges by Tennent
carried the ball over for two more
touchdowns. After this the Tar
Heels tried the throwing game,

THREE PLAYS SELECTED
FOR THE DRAMATIC CLUB
The three plays which have
been selected for the first; perfor
mance are: "Old Cronies," "The
Glittering Gate," and "Food."
"Old Clonics" which is of :a hu
morous nature, presents the old
sea captain who has fallen in love
for his first time, coming to his
old bachelor friend, a dictionary
maker, to write the letter of pro
posal to his future wife. Though
the friend has every word of the
dictionary at his command, he is
not able to put them to this pur
pose. ., "
"The Glittering Gate" is more
of a serious nature. Two thieves
meet at the gate of heaven, i after
death; the one a pessimist, the
other an optimist, and try to find
some means of entering. They

LATIN AMERICAN CLUB
"The geographic position of
South America as adapted to
trade," was the subject of the
paper delivered by E. A. Kendall
before the Latin American v Club
at its meeting on Monday night.
He pointed out the fact that in
South America we find, our great
est necessities, and that because
of its position ib ' is the logical
market for our manufactured pro
ducts. P. B. Eaton read a paper' on
"Comparative Areas in ' Latin
America and tKe United States,"
which contrasted very effectively
the sizes of the countries and
pointed out several popular . mis
conceptions as to distances and the
positions of the South American
republics. ..

room under the leadership of D.
E. Eagle. '.: ;v
, A lively discussion ensued as
to what real friendship is, and as
to what value friendships formed
in college would be in later life.
N. C. TENNIS TEAM WINS
IN MATCH WITH TRINITY
COMBS LOSES IN SINGLES TO
YOUNG HERTY WINS FROM
LARK IN
The Carolina tennis team, con
sisting of Alvah If, Combs and
Holmics Herty, defeated -Young
and Larkin of Trinity in a very
spirited contest before -'a large
crowd of spectators here Tues
day. ' The first set of doubles was
won by Trinity, 2-6, but Carolina
braced and won the other two,
6-4, 6-3. After the first set it
looked bad for Carolina bub the
crowd was not long in su spense,
for the team soon began to ex
hibit unusual form. .
'The first singles were played
between Combs and Young, which
were interesting ' throughout.
Combs did excellent work but was
defeated by the exceptional play
ing of Young, 6-4, 6-4.
The second singles, between
Herty and -Larkin, were not so
interesting for . Herty won two
sets, 6-1, 6-2. He outplayed Lar
kin at every stage of, the game.
The " good playing of : Combs
and Herty throughout the entire
series indicates that Carolina will
have a most successful tennis sea
son. By winning from Trinity in
Durham last week Carolina se
cures the series.

WILL CAROLINA WIN FROM V. P. I.
TODAY A CLOSE CONTEST PROBABLE
FIRST FALL DANCE
A GREAT SUCCESS
. Doubtless rumors of that dance,
last Saturday night have reached
the ears of even the mos sedate
professor as well as the most re
clusive freshman in Chapel Hill.
But that's no reason why we
shouldn't write it up: it just
goes to show what an important
event it was. Everyone was in
high spirits as a result of the
game that afternoon, even before
the banjo and saxaphone started to
plunk and moan, with obligate by
the rest of the orchestra.
As was predicted, the girls we
had were all prize stock, and af
ter putting them through their
paces from eight, until twelve, it
was still impossible to decide up
on any one quqen of the hop. With
only four hours in which to have
the dance, there was np time' to be
lost, and every minute ' was uti
lized by doing away with intermis
sions, and changing from one-steps
to fox-trot, to waltz, to lame cow,
to kitchin sink, etc., without stopping-
,
" Due to the beauty, attractive
ness, and popularity of the girls,
as well as to the large number of1
stags, no dance programs were
necessary ; in fact,- they would
have been, impracticable since 'the
whole thing was just one long
dance. The, ball was not a full
dress affair either, although some
of the faculty blossomed out in
dress suits, thus helping along
with the decorations. 5 We must
admit, however, that we were
wrong when we stated in last
week's Tar Heel that the faculty
would furnish the decorations as
wall flowers.
The beautiful girls," in their
dainty and exquisite habiliments
enhanced the splendor of the' af
fair even as much as the faculty
in all its grandeur. Qf course, it

BASKETBALL OUTLOOK
IS NOT DISCOURAGING
The basketball outlook for this
year; though not especially bright,
is nevertheless," far from discou
raging. The loss of Long and
Johnson .will be keenly felt, but
Tandy will probably be at his old
position at center, and Captain
Tennent will be ' the mainstay of
the guards. There will probably
be a closo fight from the forward
positions. -
Shephard, whose work attract
ed considerable! attention at for-"
ward during the latter part of hu"
season, will probably make the
strongest bid for, one of the, for
ward positions. ' v ;
i Manager Tanner has not yet
completed the schedule; but from
all indications the Virginia game
will be played here. Several other
games will also be played here.
'; Perm. State and the Navy will
probably be on the list These
games will be played at Baltimore,
and Annapolis. The entire, sche
dule will be published when completed.
TAR HEEL TEAM IS IN
PERFECT CONDITION
V. P. I. HAS UNUSUALLG STRONG
LINE, BUT A LIGHT
BACKFIELD
V. P. I. 'has a strong team this
year. Here are some of her scores:'
Yale 19-V. P. I. 0; West Va. 20
V. P. I. 0 ; N. C. A. and 1. 0
V. P. I. 40.
In last Saturday's game with
the Aggies, V. P. I. made 16 first
downs while her opponents made
none. - '
Carolina has played a number
of games with this strong team
but has only .won two the other
games, strange to say, being a tie
each time. '
V. P. I.'s Kne is an unusually
good one this year four men
weighing over 190' pounds, and
the rest weighing over 170. The
back field does not present such a
heavy crew. The full weighs 194
but the quarter only 125. These
are some of the facts in regard to
the opposing team.
On the other hand the Tar Heel
eleven is not to be forgotten. The
team" is in perfect condition and
working smoother than ever , be
fore'. Tayloe, Ramsay, Grimes,
Harrell, Proctor, Crawford and
Tandy are all right there. In the
backfield Folger, Tennent, Black
and Williams still remain.
The team got a taste of real
machine-like playing in the last
half of the V. M. I. game. No
injuries were received. If it plays
in such form today Carolina may
well expect to win.
MR. W. B. SPILLMAN TALKS
ON VALUE OF BIBLE STUDY
' In a speech characterized by an
abundance of humor and a strik
ing delivery, Mr. W. B. Spillman
on Friday night discussed college
Bible study as a factor in educa
tion before 200 students assembled
in Gerrard ' Hall. Laying down
the theory of Herbert Spencer
that the function of education is
to prepare one for complete liv
ing, he proceeded to discuss the
elements that enter into a liberal
education. He declared that the
office of education is to develop
not only one's physical, social, and
mental natures, but also one's re
ligious nature. "No man," said
he, ''can have a well-rounded edu
cation who does not have a work
ing knowledge of the world's
greatest text book."

the ocean Mike fell overboard,,
and cried out, "Pat drop me a
line!" Pat "Huh, there ain't no
post office where you're going."
