I; (cams line up when Carolina
; roets tli3 as yet undefeated team
' . iv)m the "Land of the Sky" this
;'ernoon on Emerson field. The
;rcshmen, although they have
'ayed but two games, came out
ith the large end of the score
loth times, gingham has won
1 the four games she has played by
overwhelming scores, so this con-
test will mark the first defeat of
, one of the teams, unless a tie re
,' suits.
Bingham is reported to have one
if the best teams she has had in
a any years weighty and fast.
lixhik team won from Carson-New-,
"nan by the score of 54 to 0, from
.he team at Camp Sevier 33 to 6,
which is the only score registered
Against her this year, from Chick
Springs 56 to 0, and from Lenoir
college 65 to 0f giving her 208
points to her opponents 6.
; Against this record of heavy
scoring, the Freshmen have won
frfem Davidson scrubs by the score
6 to 2, and from Oak Ridge,
45 to 0. The advantage plainly
nf,t$ with Bingham, but with the
y'll, drive and fight from begin
M )g to end, the Freshmen can
J aid up their own end of the af
jjir in a fashion that will bring
I-"me the bacon.
The coaches during the last
T 3ek have been drilling their
caarges as much as the military
affairs would allow. The ends
have been working on the matter,
of spilling interference and catch
ing forward passes. The line
coaches, Barton and Blount, have
been putting the line through stiff
practices of charging and tackling.
The backfield has worked on in
terference' and handling the ball
which were noticeably poor in the
Oak Ridge' game.
A good scrap is looked for by
those who will witness the game
Saturday. It will start at 3:00
o'clock.

County Rally Day Yesterday
The ceremonies and entertain
ments of Rally Day were pulled
off in rather exceptional style
yesterday. Of course there was
the usual ahletie meet what Ral
ly Day would be complete with
out it and while no records were
shattered, some close finishes
were observed.
The singing contest in Memor
ial Hall showed much development
of that phase of music known as
close harmony and the crowd
was delighted.
One seldom sees so . many, ve
hicles as were parked out behind
the South Building, those vehicles
that brought so many good folks
and good things to town for the
edification and edible education
of the people of Chapel Hill.
The crowning feature of the
day was the parade by the batta
lion in honor of the visitors.
Princess Pat's regiment might,
have done better, but we don't be
lieve it.
Mr. Noble thinks it was one of
the best and most complete Rally
Days it has ever been his pleas
ure to see or take part in.
The November issue of the TJnir
versity Maga,zine War Number
went to press last Wednesday, the
7th. War poems, war stories, and
war feature articles make snappy
reading matter. It will appear
on the campus about tha 21st.
Chemistry Depai tment is
Recipient of New Journals
Mr. W. R. Kenan, class of '94,
of Lockport, N. Y., has presented
to the Department of Chemistry a
number of bound sets of technical
journals, about 100 volumes in ill.
They include the Journal of Analytical-
and Applied Chemistry,
the Journal of the American
Chemical Society, the Journal f
Industrial and Engineering Chem
istry, and Chemical Abstract.
These journals will replace sets
which have generously been plac
ed in the library on deposit and
which have been at the service of
the University for many years.
Forty additional volumes were
presented by Dr. F. P. Venable
and his son, C. S. Venable.
The activities of the Dramatic
Club have been practically at a
standstill for the past week, due
to the fact that the play decided
upon, "The Man Who Staid at
Home," is under litigation in
New York, the publishers refus
ing to release another copy until
a question concerning a non-payment
of royalty for its use has
been settled in the courts.
' In" case this play is not secured
within a short time another play
will be selected. There are sever
al which are receiving a good deal
of consideration, including "Stop
Thief," "Kick In," and "The
Man of the Hour."
Sound does travel very slowly.
One blows up on a quiz, and does
n't hear the report until about a
week later.
Chapel Hill seems to he the
only team in sight for the eastern
championship in football.
CAROLINA RACQUETERS
TWICE DEFEAT TRINITY
WHITE AND BLUE GET REVENGE
FOR DEFEAT LAST YEAR
IN FAST MATCHES
WILSON AND PRINCE THE STARS
Carolina registered a double
victory over its opponents last
Saturday when its "Varsity tennis
team defeated Trinity in Durham
while the Freshman football team
was scoring a victory over Oak
Ridge here at the same time. Af
ter losing the doubles, 1-6, 6-4,
6-4, Carolina overcame jeering
and personal ' remarks from the
side lines and captured the singles
easily.
Both teams exhibited nervous
ness in the beginning. Carolina's
team is composed of two new men
this year, Prince (Capt.) and Wil
son, and the absence of a seasoned
veteran to steady them cost them
th'3 doubles. Both Trinity play
ers, Aldridge (Capt.) and Powell,
served well. Their , pretty lob
bing, and their ability to smash
from the back court counted
strongly in their favor. In the
singles Wilson won easily from
Aldridge, 6-1, 6-1. Wilson's
service was going finely, his drives
were prettily placed, and his re
covery was perfect. Prince de
feated Powell in the singles,, 6-1,
4-6, 7-5. Both served well, but
the ability to last "longer won the
match for Prince.
Wednesday afternoon on her
own courts the Carolina Varsity
Tennis Team manifested its ab
solute supremacy over the Trin
ity representatives by taking both
doubles and singles. The score .of
the , doubles was 6-4, 6-3. The
Trinity men were simply outclass
ed. In the doubles Wilson smash
ed with great certainty. Time
and again Prince returned seem

Basketball Quiet But Active
Basketball practice continues to
be promising, according to Cap
tain Tennent. Coach Peacock
has been putting the squad
through stiff work in passing and
blocking lately, and two teams
have been selected that are exact
ly even in strength. The squad
still holds on to its number of
twenty-eight, and it is impossible
to tell who will be on the 'Varsity
five. The first game will be with
Durham Y. M. C. A, early in
December,
The University School of Phar
macy was admitted this month in
to the recently organized Ameri
can Conference of Pharmaceuti
cal Faculties. The object of this
Conference is to standardize and
elevate various pharmacy schools
throughout the country," The eli
gibility rules are rather strict.
Only five schools of Pharmacy in
the entire South now hold mem
bership in the Conference. They
are the Medical College of Vir
ginia, University of South Caro
lina, Mississippi, Variderbilt, and
North Carolina.
The third team beat the High
School 6-0 last Thursdya in a
game featured by the playing of
"Rattl" Ranson. Morrison made
the scrubs' touchdown. The quar
ters lasted 6 minutes each. Bell
played a great game at tackle
as long as he lasted
Dr. Edwin Mims to Conduct
English Seminar this Year
That Dr. Edwin Mims, pro
fessor of English in Vanderbilt
University, will conduct the
Seminar in American Literature
this term is announced by the
Committee on Degrees with Dis
tinction. The subject for study
will be "Nationalism in American
Literature." It is planned for
the Seminar to begin about De
cember 10th, although the exact
date is to be given out later.
Dr. Mims will be remembered
as having delivered the University
Day address here last year on,
"The Uses of the Imagination,"
in which he mads a profound im-'
pression on the University com
munity. In selecting Dr. Mims
for these lectures the Committee
has secured a man who is thor
oughly in touch with the ideals
and aims of our country's liter
ature. Especially in the field of
Southern literature has he exerted
a powerful influence. His "Life
of Sidney Lanier" in the Ameri
can Men of Letters Series, and hi
editions of "Southern Prose and
Poetry" and of "Southern Fic
tion" have helped to bring the
writings of Southern authors into
greater prominence during the
past decade.
The Seminar, which Dr. Mims
is to conduct, will meet for two
hours on each of five days. Only
those who register in advance will
be admitted to the Seminar, and
students who desire to take this
work should see Dr. Greenlaw
within tha next ten days.
In addition to the lectures un
der the Seminar course Dr. Mims
will deliver a night lecture for
the student body at large.

"Company A, prepare to receive
your colors." With those words
Captain Allen featuring the im
pressive ceremony, the national
and regimental colors were pre
sented Wednesday afternoon at a
ceremonial parade. Miss Mary
Patterson received the eolors from
Captain Allen and handed tbesm
over to the color guard.
The colors were given to .the
military organization by Jwj
alumni of the University, Dv.
Patterson, of the class of 1895,
presented the national colors, and
Mr. P. Schenk, law class of 1905,

At the magic words of Captajr
Allen, indicating that Company A
was the "pick of the pick," being
the best drilled company en the
field and that it, was to, be oiitnisr
ed with the colors for the next
two months, every man in the; first
company stood rigidly at atten
tion while thrills travelled up and
down the back of Captain G. and
a smile played around the corners
of his mouth. After the band had
played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and the color guard, had
marched to the designated com
pany, the1 Battalion marched in
review before the color party
which was composed of President
Graham, Miss Patterson, Capt.
Allen, . Commandant Leonard and
Adjutant Whitfield.
There has been th keenest ri
valry between the four companies
sinc6 the announcement two weeks
ago, that colors were to be present
ed to the best drilled company.
Each company has been working
hard to bring the coveted, flags
their way and until the last, min

doubt. The final effort was made
this week when competitive drills

the other three companies attack

in skirmishing through, wooded
areas a a well as in the open. The

position on the hill in front of the
club house but fell back as the
enemy advanced and entrenched
themselves behind a stone walk
That position was; held until the
