Squad .Divided Into Five Teams Ten
his Tournament "Narrowed Down
to Three men -Soccer Makes Its
Debut Here
With daily practice scrimmag
ing, ' the Freshman is slowly
but surely acquiring that machine
like accuracy so essential to "a suc
cessful football team. ' - '
The coaches have been working
hard to remedy the many defects
disclosed by, the scrimmages and,
as a result, the teamwork of the
team is improving. Coach Bar
den reports good progress in the
line ; Stevens, Fordham, Wright,
Shaw, and Burkett are showing up
well, but others will make the fight
to make good.
Clarvoe, who is devoting his
time to the ends, says that Coch
rane, Powell, Kissler, Sims, and
Patterson are all showing up well
in the contest for flank positions.
In. the backfield Coach Peacock
says that Morrison, Scales, and
Lowe will probably make good
men.
Lack of men has caused scrim
maging to be short, and most of
the work at present is directed
against the dummy and line ma
chine. The schedule for the team has
finally been arranged by Graduate
Manager Woollen. It as follows:
Nov. 3 Winston-Salem High
School at Chapel Hill.
Nov. 10 Bingham at Ashe-
. ville.
Nov. 17 Charlotte II. School
at Chapel Hill.
Nov. 20 Oak Ridge at Chapel
Hill.
Nov Virginia Freshmen
at Charlottesville..
Nov. Guilford or Citadel,
pending.
' This is considered to be a very
satisfactory schedule though no
easy one for the lateness of the
season. Some very good trips are
included.
One hundred and twenty-five
Volumes' that were sent out last
summer to the binder have been
returned by Ruzicka, handsomely
rebound, and were put back on the
shelves this week. Twenty-five
went on the Freshmen shelves
Barrie, Fielding, Hardy, Kipling,
and others. The rest included col
lections of poetry and fiction of
the more popular sort.
It is not always possible to file
the cards for new books in the
catalog as soon as the volumes arc
displayed, but books are never sent
out from the workroom until thev
have been catalogued.
The Yackety Yack wants cam
pus pictures, jokes, verses, etc.
Hand them in to Rob DeRossett,
Editor-in-Chief, or any of the edi
tors. Hand jokes to Clarvoe.
PITT COUNTY CLUB ORGANIZES
The first regular meeting of the
Pitt County Club was held last
Tuesday night in the Y. M. C. A.
Dr. Branson was present and gave
the Club some valuable points as
to ' organization of an effective
club - .
"This year," said Dr. Branson,
"the County Clubs are expected to
be- elosely associated with the
North Carolina Club and its pro
gram. Pitt County is one of the
neglected counties. The people as
a whole, especially those in the
rural districts, don't know the very
meaning of sociology , and econo
mics. It is the firm purpose of
the North Carolina Club this year
to correct this defect. The four
cardinal points I wish to stress are
these: The advantage of having a
club for yourselves and county;
the advantage of the Club to the
University; your chance to line up
with the North Carolina Club;
and your opportunity of issuing a
county bulletin."
Following the suggestion of Dr.
Branson, it was decided to begin
work on the proposed bulletin at
once, and accordingly it was voted
that the President appoint a Board
of Editors as well as Business
Managers. '
Francis Clarkson, Law'l7, was
a visitor on the Hill for a, few day3
ATTENTION BEING GIVEN TO
BETTER CO-ED ORGANIZATION
Making history at Chapel Hill
is not a task confined to the men
students of the University. While
the military training is fitting the
men for service in the armies of
our country the women are plan
ning to widen the influence of a
higher education and to prepare
the way for better training and
higher service on the part of those
who must stay at home. At a
meeting recently of the women stu
dents plans were discussed by
which the Woman's Association at
the University might be made a
vital, permanent .part of the col
lege. If the plans can be carried
out there will be a room in Pea
body Hall reserved for the use of
the women which will become the
center of social life, and college
activities for .them. This will fill
a long felt need for something be
sides the intellectual advantages,
which have been until now the on
ly side of college life partcipated
in by them to any extent.
From this room, which' it is
hoped will be secured, will go out
through, the Woman's Association
an influence which will lead to the
wider recognition of the needs of
the women students and ultimate
ly to the providing of adequate
facilities which will attract a great
many more women to the Univer
sity. The work of Mrs. Thos. W.
Lingle in organizing the women
students will be watched with in
terest by all those interested in the
higher education of women and
their recognition by the Universi
tv of .North Carolina.

Capt. Allen states that he was
unable to secure a train on account
of the great demand of the gov
ernment for rolling ; stock. He
says he was in receipt of a letter
from Fairfax Harrison, President
of the Southern Railway, in which
he states that there is not an idle
car in the South and so he couldn't
supply even a cattle car. For this
reason the trip had to be called
off.
-However, constaLaiuLthorough
drill will not be lessened and pre
parations will be made ,for the
drive in the Spring if not sooner.
Company drill will be continued
the coming week with some time
devoted to putting the finishing
touches to platoon marching.
Capt. Allen announces from
Headquarters that, work on the
trenches will begin Monday.
Everything is now in readiness for
the building of modern trench
fortifications on Judge Brockvvell's
place. Capt. Allen in company
with a detachment of engineers
laid off the trenches last week, and
the only thing lacking now is a
pick in the hands of a Tar Heel
Sammie. This 'necessary imple
ment will be furnished Monday,
for Mr. Temple has put the nice,
smooth handles in all the picks.
All the types of trenches that are
used in Flanders will be built and

GLEE CLUB NOW PLANNING TRIPS
On Monday, November 12th,
the' first performance of the year
by the Glee Club on its fall trip
will be given in Charlotte. Spar
tanburg, either Morganton or
Hickory, Asheville, Winston-Salem,
and Greensboro will compose
the list of towns in which this
year's team will play, the length
of the trip to include six days on
ly. Whether Hickory or Morgan
ton will be the third stop on this
trip has not been definitely decid
ed as yet.
In accordance with new plans
formulated by the Club, there will
be an advance agent this year, a
feature that has never been pres
ent before. Every town will be
canvassed, advertisements will be
placed in the papers, notices on the
store windows, and the interest of
the Alumni will be stimulated. All
these preparations point to a most
successful trip, inasmuch as these
trips in the past have been all too
little advertised and ine. cient-
ly at that.
The Latin-American Club will
meet one night next week, the
meeting to be announced in Cha
pel. Every student is invited to
join'.
Alvah Combs and C. S. Harris,

school at Old Point, Va.
CAPTAIN ALLEN RELATES
A FEW OF HIS EXPERIENCES
Declaring that the "Allies were
not fighting to take ground but
were trying to create casualties
among the Germans so as to make
them give in," Captain Allen last
night delivered a lecture on "His
Experiences at the Front" before
a crowded house in Gerrard Hall.
This lecture was arranged by the
university lecture committee for
the benefit of . the people of the
town, who have been unable to at
tend Captain Allen's lectures to
the military companies.
Captian Allen reviewed the his
tory of his regiment, the famous
Princess Pat's, from its start from
Canada. Between 30,000 and 40,
000 men left Canada at the out
break of the war. These were car
ried to England and were put in
training at Salisbury Plain. There
fifteen per cent died from spinal
meningitis, due to the condition of
the earth. At the beginning of
1915 his regiment was called to de
fend Ypres. In the second battle
of Ypres of the 1,000 men and 32
officers who entered, at the end of
four days fighting 800 men and
28 officers had been killed. At the
third battle of Ypres 775 out of
950 men and 31 out of 33 officers
were killed. In fact Captain Al
len stated that there had been 14,-
000 casualties in his regiment since
the outbreak of the war in 1914.
Captain Allen also described a
trench with its many communica
tion trenches and dugouts. He
told of the relief of a trench.
When a trench is to be relieved

Two ringing orders "Column
Right" and then "Column Left"
and the battalion swung into the
path ' leading past the main en
trance of the Alumni Building
where the Governor, surrounded
by the faculty, and attended by
President Graham and Captain Al
len, stood on the steps to watch
the boys in olive drab march by,
Down through the crowd lining
the path and past the' reviewing
body marched the color guard, and
as Old Glory went by, all stood at
attention, while high above the
heads of the watching crowd two
other flags whipped i nthe breeze
one a big brother to the standard
leading tho battalion, and the
other, the flag of the Old North
State, waving gayly at hte sons of
the commonwealth stepping proud

As each company past in re
view, "Eyes Right" was executed
by platoons, and then went on in'
time with the band, which had
taken its place beside the line of
march, after passing in review,
and lineoj the approach from the
Alumni Building to Memorial
Hall. The classes then passed in
order of seniority, and lined the
walks after the battalion. After
the faculty and guest of honor had
past between this living hedge, the
battalion marched in and, took
their places.
The exercises were opened by
Dr. Patten. Then followed the
sniging of the national anthem,'
and President Graham's speech of
introduction -greeting University
Day, and welcoming his excellen
cy the Governor.
President Graham first spoke of
the terrible responsibilities of the
University towards the nation at
war. Six hundred of her special
birthday messages, he said, went
to men now in actual war service
about 20 per cent of the faculty
of last year and 20 per cent of all
the alumni whose addresses we
know. The bitterness of having
them taken is swiftly lost in the
larger happiness of giving them
and in the gallant fashion of their
going.
"The University," said Presi
dent Graham, "takes the world as
she finds it as a basis for making
it what she ' conceives it by right
ought to be. So she includes this
year, for. the first time in her his
tory, direct training' for the
world's present chief vocation.
President Graham read a letter
from a son of tho University with
the American Expeditionary forces
as a clean interpretation of the
spirit of the University "You send
me," says the writer, "and at the
