Hungry Sammies Awk ward Squad Blunders into Popular ity Music and' Humor Feature The Battalion Smoker, held last Tuesday night' at Swain Hall, made a successful raid on all the 'blues and worries that had previ ously entrenched themselves in the minds of those present. Everyone enthusiastically asserts that the oc casion was hugely en joy able. Swain Hall was filled with a crowd that lent itself willingly to the bu siness of having" a good time. " Comical, acrobatic, and musical sketches were presented, and made decided hits. One of the sketches that especially appealed to the bat talion was Mr. Whitfield's imper sonation, of Captain Allen. .. . ,. .. - The "feed" was good and was appreciatively' put away in double quick time. Not a whisper of dis satisfaction has been heard over the returns for both money and time spent. .... , The enthusiasm, which later knew no bounds, began growing with the crowd, and as the batta lion formed, cheers and yells rent the "atmosphere. The night was chilly, but the blood of youth bent on pleasure was warm, and the cold was unheeded. After forming, in front of the South Building, the battalion marched through town aud then around to Swain Hall. Here a rostrum, and long tables with plen ty of seats ' had been prepared. As the initial stimt of the evening Company A took over the colors, . and all stood at attention' as the "Star Spangled Banner" was play ed. . The acrobatic stunts by Lynch and Ravenel were of the highest type and brought many cheers. A farcical skit, entitled "Food'' was next excellently, presented by Lacy Meredith, ,J. Y. Jordan, and R. L. Jonnston. Chester Burton's jug gling act was a great hit. The. arrival of 'a: little negro telegraph messenger with a cable letter' from the Czar of Russia, drew great' applauscr" The' cable read, "Dear Captain Allen, Ain't it awful? ' One day I am seated on my throne and the next day I ; am : thrown on my seat." '.. Thedancing act was full of good clog-dancing, with Burton tickling his Georgia piano. The awkward squad," under' the" command of Captain Simmsj created much merriment by its ludicrous mix ture of tallness, shortness, and fat ness, and manifold mistakes. .- Doctors Dey and Leavit both told jokes that took well with the audience, and Jimmie Howell and Bingham McKis continued their hit-making with ( selections of yodeling with guitar accompani ment. " The battalion nearly went wild when Mr. Whitfield impersonated Paptain Allen, and received a long distance call from a girl in Mon treal. Poag, McKie, Travis, and (Continued on Page 4 "ON WITH THE DANCE" IS THE SLOGAN FOR COMING WEEK DANCE NOTICE 1.

Campus Lonesome Place on Thanksgiving Day All this week the most popular places on the campus have been the Dean's office and the Military Headquarters. . ..At . those .... places lines of students have been wait ing for the purpose of but you have already guessed it, for the campus was almost as bare this Thanksgiving as it was in the good old . days of the Virginia , game. The number of Carolina , students who went home . meant that the number of turkeys which sailed down the river Styx,' or rather down our throats, were very large. (Look the other' way, Mr. Hoo ver.) In fact, we had almost' for gotten that the turkey is our na tional bird, for the American Eagle and the Dove of Peace have been trying to .oust it. . On Thurs day, however, the odds on the Dove were very low, and on the Turkey, very' high. Dr. G. A. Harrer read a paper on preparatory Latin at the Teachers' Assembly in Charlotte this week. . Mcl)aniel Lewis, of the class of '16, has given to the library the two volumes of "Students in Arms" and Empey's "Over the Top." It is rumored that John Terry is at work on a new love sonnet entitled "Cupid and Me." The theme is said to be rather onesided. PRELIMINARIES INTRA- COLLEGE DEBATE HELD MILES AND R. B.

P 0 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE PLAYED The athletic as well as the so cial eye of the statewill be focused on Chapel Hill next week, for in, addition to the fall dances, games to decide the high school football championship will be played. On 'Thursday the undefeated Char lotte High team will meet the fast eleven from Winston-Salem for the Western Championship. ,The Charlotte team has not lost to a single high school this year al though the strong Asheville School for Boys took, two games from them. The Winston team has also gone through the season with an excellent record and the game next Thursday promises to be one of the best high school games played here in many years. The foot ball fans on the campus will see in action for the first time the team that held the Freshmen to a 13-13 tie. "Philly" Ritch is again coach ing the Charlotte team. As a re sult this year's team is the smooth- working product of two years of his coaching. The team which wins the title for the western part of the state will play Chapel Hill, the Eastern Champions, on Saturday. Chapel Hill has an unusually strong team and whoever wins . Thursday's game will have a man size job on their hands Saturday for the state title. Chapel Hill was runner-up in last year's contest with the Charlotte High. This year they are determined to make somebody else runners-up and a hard fight is promised their opponents. Interesting Study at N. C. Club Meeting The fee system in county gov ernment in North Carolina .was thoroughly discussed Monday night at the fifth fortnightly meet ing of the North Carolina Club by Dr. E. C. Branson. . Dr. Branson "contrasted the fee system with the recently adopted salary system as a basis of com pensating county officials and pointed out the advantages and de fects of each system.' "There is perhaps no cheaper plan today," he said, "in small counties or in sparsely settled counties, where life is simple, property values small, and court house business meagre and occa sional. 1 "On the other hand the com pensations under the fee system are sometimes small. They at tract second rate men into the county offices. Their duty does hot keep them busy, and the court- liouse becomes a rendezvous for oafing, idle gossip, and political wire pulling. "But as counties develop," the speaker asserted, "as populations increase and city life with its vari ous enterprises and activities come into existence the fee system offers rewards out of proportion to the service rendered to this and that office." He illustrated this point with several 'concrete examples. Dr. Branson told of the begin ning of the salary system.

Gamble Star v When the referee's whistle an nounced the end of Saturday's con test at Petersburg, the freshman eleven, rejuvenated by the success of two long forward passes, was sweeping down the field 5 through" Virginia's line in a last, desperate' effort to score. The same spirit of fight that started this eleventh hour rally characterized Carolina's playing throughout the entire con test. Every member of the team fought with such pluck and enthu siasm that the Virginia freshmen had to strain every ounce of energy to secure finally a 14 to 6 victory. A spirit of inherited rivalry be tween the two colleges caused the men on both teams to play the best they knew how from start to finish.' Carolina was fighting to retrieve her last year's defeat, Virginia to score a second victory. ' The outstanding feature of the game was the seventy-yard run by Alfred Scales, who played & stellar game for Carolina. Fearrington, Lowe, Simms, and Sherrod come in for their share of the glory, as each played a consistent game at the defense. The entire backfield was, especially effective at line plunges. For Virginia, II. Gam bol, Rhinehart, and Dunn played excellent ball. One of the remarkable features .of the game was the steady holding of Carolina's line when a touch down seemed imminent. On one occasion, with the ball within two yards of her goal, Carolina braced up and held firm until the whistle blew. Virginia's first touchdown was scored when II. Gambol recovered a fumbled ball, and, after a spec-; tacular run of fifty yards, placed the pigskin safely behind the goal posts. The second touchdown was made by the steady advancement of the ball up the field by the Vir ginia backs,' who hit Carolina's line for consistent gains. JI. Gam. bol carried the ball over on a for ward pass by Kuyk. Both of the v Virginia scores were made in the third quarter. Baker kicked goal both times. Carolina's only score came in the last quarter when Scales inter:- cepted a forward pass and made the longest run of the game, about seventy yards, to goal. Lowe fail ed to kick goal." Virginia 'was penalized about fifty yards during- the game for holding, while Caroj- lina was penalized for holding arid offside. The weather was ideal for football, but the game was (Continued on Page 2) The University and Chapel Hill were well represented in Char lotte this Week.
