IT TT i in OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVI. No. 13 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, DEC. 8, 1917 Price, Five Cent GIRLS AND LIVE MUSIC FEATUREFALL DANCES YOUTH, BEAUTY, AND GAYETY I REIGN ORCHESTRA IS ALL WRIGHT LARGE CROWD SEVENTY-FIVE VISITORS ON HILL The dances that oasis in the desert of education ar a thing of the past, but still a fond, fond memory. And all those pretty girls ahl Dr. Battle said that Chapel Hill was a "very colorful place full of a number of such things as youth and. play and love." Dr. Battle must have bad the dances in mind when be said this ; for although there is plenty of youth and play in this little suburb of ours,- the love is mostly . the kind that makes the beart grow fonder. The dances revealed several hundred Phi Beta Kappa men of the Torpsichorcan University. Men that couldn't keep step if their life depended on it, piloted fair creatures over the floor in a way that would have made dear old Vernon Castle glad he had entered the army. Somewhere in the Bible (oh yes, we've read it) there's a passage that says, "music hath power to charm the savage heart." That orchestra, six, long, dusky "smokes" bad the goods. If they had played for the awkward squad ,to drill, said squad would have comported itself-in style such as would make the West Point gray turn to a faded green. One big darkie playing a saxapbone that looked like the outlet to the Pana ma Canal, could hit six notes with one finger. The orchestra was composed of six pieces: a. piano, drums, flute, violin, banjo, man dolin and saxophone. There wasn't any sameness about that orchestra. The only thing they had in ; common was their hue. Every one of them was an artist and the time they kept would have satisfied even the I. D. R. The girls God bless 'em- were all here. Suffice it to say they were great absolutely great. They represented the best girls in the State, and they lived up to their "rep." A war time atmosphere was lent to the floor by the attendance of several old Carolina men, from Columbia and elsewhere, in their uniforms. It looked good to see the old boys back. Three dances were held. The Gimghoul dance on Thursday night, the Gorgon Head dance Friday afternoon, and the Ger man club dance Friday night. Every dance was a howling success and lived up to the repu tation that Carolina has achieved for , herself of giving the best dances in tbew orld no excep tions. 'Some of the young ladies pres ent were : Misses Florence Bushce, Elizabeth Tucker, Cotton Timber lake, Josephine White, Bessy Lumsden, Mary Frances Bowen, Eliza Leach, Julia Manning, Katherine Crews, Elizabeth Tel fair, from Raleigh ; Misses Nancy Greene, Margaret Thomas, Hil dred Karnes, Gertrude Fallon, Ruth Fallon, from Durham; Sue (Continued on Page 4) Basket Ball Season Begins Next Tuesday The basketball season begins for us when the Carolina team meets the Durham Y. M. C. A. here in the gym on Tuesday, the 11th. Both Captain Tennent and Coach Peacock have' expressed the great est confidence as to the outcome of the game. This game and the other .'two that are to come off before the holidays are only prac tice games to make way for the big games in February. The squad is in first class condition but the play ers who will make up the team have not yet been definitely decided on, because the first two teams are practically equal in strength. The team will probably, however, be picked from the following candi dates : Tennent, Grandin, Liipfert, Perry, . Carmichael, Lynch, Gwyn, Hodges, Cuthbertson, and Morris. The Durham Y. M. C. A. team is said to be very strong. Yank Tandy has been playing with them but it is doubtful Avhether he will play against us next week. Buzz says he expects to "beat the stuff ings" out of them no matter who they have. The schedule for the season has not been definitely settled, but it will probably be as follows : Dec. 11, Durham Y. M. C. A. at Chapel Hill. Dec. 14, Bingham (Mebane) at Chapel Hill. Dec. 15, Durham Y. M. C. A. at Durham.

Unique War Number of Magazine is Reviewed The current number of the Uni versity Magazine departs in more than one respect from the beaten path of tradition and sets a new standard of excellence for North Carolina student publications, The entire issue is devoted to the war. The faculty as well as the student body is represented among the contributors. Pale faced and weak kneed fiction is almost whol ly supplanted by robust discussion of vital topics, and vei'sified twad dle about the joys of spring has given way to a sincere attempt to render f he emotions of this hour in terms of beauty. The magazine has thereby fulfilled the promise of the first number under the pres ent editorship and has justified its title to existence at a time when it seemed to many readers to be on the point of "fading on the mid night with no pain." The change in character of the Magazine this year is symptomatic of a lifting of the intellectual horizon in our col lege life, of a powerful extension of student interests from the nar row circle of athletics, fraterni ties, class elections, dances, trivial ities of every sort to the affairs of the nation and the world. No edu cational force at all comparable to the present war has ever touched us. It is well for the magazine that it has 'grasped its opportunity and become what it should bo, an organ of the best that is Baid and thought at Carolina. (Continued on Page 3) BARB WIRE SHOWS BOYS IN 0. D. POINTS IN TRENCH WAR Uncle Sam's bovs at the various training camps have nothing on the Carolina Battalion, when it comes to the mysteries of trench warfare. With the beginning of che relief of the trenches this week, still another vastly important phase of modern warfare was in troduced. Each platoon leader was in possession of a map of the trenches. On this map the posi-1 tion of every man in his platoon was distinctly marked. Every squad commander knew exactly where each one of his men was to be stationed. The operations were carried out without a hitch. Then each company in turn relieved the one in charge of the trenches ; "stand down," "pass the word along," and all the parlance of the modern trenehman are now well known to the X. C. rookies. Just when the different com panies were feeling pretty well puffed up over their mastery of the intricacies of trench combat they experienced several of the realities of war, A. B. and C Com panies were ordered to charge through the barb wire entangle ments moving behind the bar rage of their artillery and at tack the trenches as defended by Company D. As one an put it, "you have to imagine a barrage, but the barbed wire don't require any imagination." Various and sundry wounds decorated the forms and uniforms of the victori ous assailants. A Company wa3 the first attacking wave, composed (Continued from Page 2) WESTERN HONORS FALL TO CHARLOTTE HIGHS DEFEAT WINSTON 13 TO 0 IN HARD FIGHT LOSERS SHOW FLASHES OF FORM TEMPLETON PLAYS STAR GAME By outplaying the Winston Salem highs at every stage of tin game, the Charlotte eleven won Thursday's contest by the score of 13 to 0, and thus became the champion high school- football team of western North Carolina. The Charlotte team will play Chapel Hill, victor in the east, today for state championship honors. The day was almost ideal for snappy football, just cold enough to infuse th? contestants with fighting spirit. The field, how ever, was muddy enough to slow up the game and cause many fumbles. Enthusiasm was keen in the grandstands, for both high schools were well , represen ted by lusty-lunged rooters. The boys from Winston-Salem played a plucky game throughout, but they were so handicapped by having two of their strongest back men, Crute and Davis, knocked out in the first half that they were un able to stem Charlotte's rushing offense. The Wim-ton-Salcm line proved especially effective in the fourth quarter, when it prevented a touchdown by holding firm for downs on its four yard line. If there is one big reason for Charlotte's victory, it may Ik; summed up in one word,: Temple ton. The fast right half back played his usual brilliant game, that has won for him the reputa tion of being one of the best high school backs in the state. Time and again he grabbed the ball, stiff -armed his opponent, and ripp ed off 10 or 15 yards. His 40 yard dash in the third quarter was decidedly the stellar play of the game. . Charlotte's two touchdowns were made in the first and fourth quar ters with R. Wearn carrying" the mil both times. A succession of forward passes, short gains, and Tern pleton. runs is the method by which, they were secured. Most of the game was played on Winston Salem territory; at no time was Charlotte in imminent danger of being scored upon. Templeton, Wearn, and; Mac- Donald were the stars for Char lotte. On the Win3ton-Salem team Pulliam and Marler display ed speed and surety in tackling, Shepherd proved a consistent ground-gainer at Tins plunges, and Turner played a splendid game on the line. (Continued on Page 3) Over 200 schools have enrolled in tho High School Debating Union. The Debater's Bulletin will soon come from the press. Last week President Graham, Dean Stacy, and several other members of the faculty attended he Teachers Assembly at Char- ote. President Graham delivered an address on "Patriotism and the Schools" before the assembly and Charlotte citizens. He also visit ed Camp Greene before returning. v 1: ' f ; ft If
