THEIR OPPONENTS
END OF A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Star Work by Pharr, Fearington and
Lowe in Backfield, Gan
Brown in Line
The University of North Carolina
defeated the All Star officers team
from Camp Polk, Raleigh, on Emer
son Field Thursday twelve to nothing.
Despite a heavy field, resulting from
rains during the night and forenoon
the game was brilliantly played from
start to finish. Both teams displayed
a fighting spirit of the best quality,
only two penalties being inflicted on
each. It was the last game of the
season for both elevens.
The outstanding features for Caro
lina were Pharr's clever generalship
at quarter and his interception of a
long forward pass which he carried
through a broken field for fifty yards,
the general back field performances of
Fearington and Lowe, together with
the defensive playing of Captain Grant
and Holt.
For the Tankers the outstanding
features were the brilliant end work
of Dunworth, a former Kansas Uni
versity star, of "Shannon, at quarter
back, formerly of Oberlin, and the
playing at halves of Lewis and Claeys
of Cornell and Dartsmouth, respec
tively. The first half resulted in no score
for either team and was evenly played
In the third the first touchdown on
a cleverly executed forward pass
from Lowe to Fearrington. The sec
ond touchdown came in the fourth
quarter, when Pharr sprinted fifty
yards. Fearrington gained nineteer
yards off tackle and Lowe carried
it ovcr
This was the fifth and last game
of the season for the Carolina eleven.
Out of the five games Carolina has
won three and lost the other two by
very close scores.
It is thought by all to have been
a very successful season and the re
markable fighting quality of the Ta
Heel eleven has had much to do with
its success.

Y. M C. A. Kept Busy by
the Holiday Festivities
The past week was spent by the Y
in preparing new entertainments for
the students, and more was done along
this line than during any preceding
week. Such progress has been made
possible by the lifting of the 'flu"
quarantine, and the co-eds and other
Y workers have shown the students
what a great factor the Y is. For
the last few days Secretary Wunsch
with an able corps of co-eds as assis
tants, were busy preparing the Y
for the Gypsy Festival, which came
off Thanksgiving night.
The motion picture machines, which
came a week or more ago, were in
stalled during the past week. The
Y Secretary announces that he has
been able to secure some of the latest
and best films which will be shown ev
ery other Saturday night and proba
bly more often
FRED M. PATTERSON, '16
Wounded in action in France early
in October, according to press dis-
Satches, the result being that one leg
as been amputated. He was cap
tain of the baseball team in 1916, also
participating in football and basket
ball. Was a member of the Pharmacy
Class. He was a member of the
headquarters company of the 113th
Field Artillery and was wounded at
the same time as Sergeant Earl John
sun, in tne jt. Miniei section.
PROCEEDS OF VICTORY CELE
BRATION TO GO TO WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN
The biggest and most thoroughly
enjoyed entertainment of the - year
was given by the Co-eds in conjunc
tion with the Y on Thanksgiving day
and evening. The mothers ad young
ladles of the town spent the entirj
first part of the week making candies,
cakes, sandwitches and other eats, and
preparing for the other entertain
ments. The Y was highly decorated with
various colors, closely resembling a
gypsy hotel the lobby and reading
room acting as a lobby and the audi
torium as a dining room. In the din
ing room was everything one could
wish to eat, even on Thanksgiving
day, and the few tables there were
"rushed" at all times. Those who were
unable to find places at the tables had
no dofficulty in finding seats in the
lobby or reading room, where they
could sit by "gypsy" girls who revived
their spirits with the tender notes of
the Ukelalie.
The beautiful gypsy girls were nu
merous, but were in great demand at
all times, for it was a most pleasant
and rare occasion for the soldier boys
to talk to a beautiful girl once more.
It is thought that these girls and
the most excellent supper which they
served are largely a cause of Swain
Hall being almost empty at supper
time.
After the entire Gypsy supplies
were disposed of, and everyone had
learned of their fate or fortune
through the famous gypsy palmist
the center of attraction was movec"
to Gerrard Hall. Here the surging
crowd rolled to see the remainder of
the famous festival.
The large stage was beautifuly dec
crated in yellow, and on it were rep
resented the different phases of life:
domestic life by the mother combing
the small girl's hair and the little
children playing with their toys; ar
tistic side of life by the artist paint
ing a beautiful landscape, and work
by the workman sawing wood. Dr.
Mess in his black robe, with all this
i beautiful scenery as a foreground,
talked for twentty minutes on the
Spirit of the World. To this there
was a general admission of fiftsen
cents combined with the receipts for
the refreshments went to the United
War Work, or now better called Peace
Work, Fund.
One of the most popular places or
booths of the festival was the one at
which pictures of future wives could
be secured. Strange to say Secretary
Wunsch was the first to get to the

Prof. Koch Makes Chapel
Talk on "Carolina Spirit
On Tuesday night at Chapel ex
ercises Dean Stacy said, "We are for
tunate in capturing for tonight Pro
fessor Koch, a late and very valuable
addition to the faculty. Professor
Koch showed the true Carolina spirit
when he did not wish to be introduced.
Professor Koch said in his talk,
"Carolina spirit is something you can't
tret hold of in words, but it gets you."
He explained how Carolina is an em
bodiment of all that America stands
for leadership thru comradeship.
This is the greatest thing that cam
out of the present world war. To
further illustrate his point he read a
few selections from Allen Seegar,
the typical American college student,
who died for France, not knowing that
his college mates were so soon to fol
low in his footstqps., His young
spirit and -perpetual youth live in the
words "leadership thru comradeship"
so evident on the Carolina campus.
Here as in few colleges in America
is found "the kingship of common
man." Shakespeare in his great his
toric plays, especially in Henry V,
said, "The king is but a man, even as
I am." Sir Walter Raleigh, Profes
sor Koch further brought out, was the
first typical Carolina man with all
that Carolina spirit means.
Professor Koch ended with the read
ing of Miller's "Columbus." Colum
bus, in spite of the dangers of an
unknown sea, refused to turn back,
just as Carolina, in the crisis of a
great world war has refused to lose
her old spirit handed down thru the
many noble generations of her col
lege men.
Sail on, sail on, and on, Carolina,
to the glorious future that awaits
you."
Thus ended Professor Koch, amid
thunderous applause, which indicated
the deep impression the speaker had
made.

RECEIVES OVATION AT FARE
WELL MEETING; PRESENTED
WITH LOVING CUP
WAS OFFICER IN "PRINCESS PAT"
That the traditional " Carolina spir
it" has not been relegated to the scrap
heap was demonstrated on Wednesday
night, when the student body assem
bled in Gerrard Hall to bid farewell
to Captain Allen, who leaves Saturday
for his home in Montreal, Canada. As
a token of the esteem and sincere af
fection felt for Captain Allen by the
student body and faculty, a silver
loving cup was presented to him in
their name.
Captain Allen needs no introduction
to any Carolina man. Coming to the
University at the beginning of. the
school year 1917-18 to form a stu
dent's battalion, his charming person
ality, boundless enthusiasm and good
spirits soon endeared him to each and
every one that came in contact with
him. To form an efficient army unit
out of several hundred inexperienced
men with few experienced men to aid
in this task is not easy to do; but a
man of Captain Allen's energy sur
mounts all obstacles to accomplish the
desired ends. Thus the effectiveness
of the student organization under
his command increased by leaps and
bounds.
Capta'n Allen has been admirably
suited by experience to fill the posi
tion that he has been called upon to
fill. In the very first days of the war
his young blood felt the call of bat
tle and he enlisted as a volunteer in
the Princess Patricia Regiment of
Canada which has given such a glo

Community Club Plans
Lectures
The L;terairy Department of the
Chapel Hill Community Club has been
forced by a variety of conditions to
modify and curtail its program, as
it was originally planned. The long
season of quarantine (has made it
necessary to abridge the course by
omitting the programs which consisted
of papers by the members, and the
rapid movement of world events has
rendered some amendment of the lec
ture subjects advisable.
The course will consist of lectures,
as follows:
On December 2nd by Prof. Wag
staff. On December 16th by Prof. Toy.
On January 6th by Prof. WagstafF.
On January 20th by Prof. L. A.
Williams.
On February 3rd by Prof. Hanford.
On February 17th by Prof. Pierson.
On March 3rd by Prof. Booker.
On March 17th by Prof. Chase.
On April 7th by Prof. L. A. Wil
liams. On April 21st by Prof. Hamilton.
These lectures will be delivered in
the auditorium of the school build
ing, on the first and third Monday?,
of each month. They are designed
not only for the members of the
department but for any one in the
community who is sufficiently inter
ested to attend.
POST DANCES
Post dances will be given on De
cember 6 and 7, according to an
nouncement made by committee.
These dances will be similar in many
respects to the fall dances' which
have been given on the Hill every
year heretofore. There will be three
dances given on the above dates. On
Friday night, the first of the dances
will be given in the Bynum Gymna
sium. Saturday afternoon, December
7, will be the occasion for the second
dance which will be followed that
night by the last of the three dances.
A good, peppy orchestra will render
music for the dances, and it is ex
pected that a large crowd of girls
from adjoining cities will attend to
the pleasure of the occasion.
To arrange for this and all future
fiost dances, a committee has been se
eded from every S. A. T. C. Com
pany and from the non-S. A. T. C.
This committee is composed of the
following men: Pemberton, Jones,
Harvey, Ficklen, Kimball, Gantt, Ruf
fin, White, Lowe, Wilson, and Edmund
son. Ficklen is leader of the dance,
and his assistants are Gantt and Kim
ball. Although the dance will be a
post dance, civilians and non-S. A. T.
C. men are invited. The dance com
mittee desires that every fellow wire
his best cirl and as many more girls
as he can to come and attend the
dances which promise to be full of
pep. New men attending these
dances will have a chance to learn
something about dances of former
years on the Hill.
FEATURE OF GAME WAS FIGHT
ING SPIRIT OF TAR HEELS
AGAINST VIRGINIANS
In a fast and snappy game in which
both teams gave evidence of marked
ability Carolina was defeated on Em
erson Field last Saturday by V. P. I.,
the final score standing 18 to 7. The
team work of both sides was excel
lent. Both teams made free use of
the forward pass and Carolina suc
cessfully executed twelve out of eigh
teen, j
The first appearance of the opposing
team caused grave apprehension
among Carolina supporters. The Tar
Heels were outweighed by the Vir
ginians fifteen pounds or more per
man. During the first few minutes of
the game it appeared as tho the Tech
team would make a romp of the game,
but Carolina's men soon stiffened up
and gave proof of their ability to
give a good account of themselves.
The ball was carried to Carolina'3
ten yard line eight or ten times, but
the fighting Tar Heels would hold the
visitors for downs. The salient fea
tures of the game were the fighting
spirit displayed by the Carolina men
against men of superior weight and
experience, long runs by Crocker for
V. P, I. and Bristol for Carolina,
which resulted in touchdowns, the
samshing line attacks of the Virginia
team, and the successful flying tackles
by Carolina. Crisp, captain, and
Rangely played a star game for the
visitors, while Gant, captain, Pharr
and Fearrington showed up exceeding
ly well for the home team. ,
In the first quarter V. P. I. re
ceived the kickoff and entered the
game with a rush but was finally
forced to yield the ball on Carolina's
eight yard line. The first scoring
came in the second quarter when
Crisp the one-armed quarterback, with;
four yards to go, carried the ball over1
on a fake end run. Shortly after
wards Bristol made his spectacular,
run, carrying the ball to the enemy's
twenty yard line. A successtul tor
ward pass from Pharr to Fearring
ton put Carolina across the goal line.
Fearrington kicked goal. Carolina
again came near scoring in the third
quarter when, as a result of the suc
cessful execution of five forward
passes, the ball came to rest on the
fifteen yard line of the Techs. An
other pass was attempted which was
intercepted by Crocker, of V. P. I.,
who ran ninety yards and gave his
team their second touchdown. Crisp
failed to kick goal. V. P. I. scored
the final touchdown in the last five
minutes of play when Rangely, fol
lowing a series of line plunges, car

Prof. Wm. Starr Myers
Lectures Here Next Week
Among the many noted lecturers
who will lecture this year at the Uni
versity is one of international re
pute and an authority on sociological
problems. Dr. William Starr Myers,
a graduate of this University, but
lately Professor of Politics, Prince
ton University, is scheduled to speak
here December 2nd on after the war
problems. ,
Professor Myers bears the reputa
tion of being a charming and versatile
speaker. Last year Nhe spoke in lec
tures to more than twenty-five thous
and people.
The fact that Professor Myers is a
product of the University and the
fact that his ability has been recog
nized throughout the country wiP
lend an added interest to the occa
sion when he lectures here. The lec
ture is scheduled i n Gerrard Hall,
eight o'clock, night of December 2nd.
It is expected a large crowd will
be present.
ENROLLMENT REACHES 1128
The University enrollment for this
year (including students in the Sum
mer School studying for degrees) has
totaled 1128 on November 5th, which
by way of comparison shows more
students in attendance than were reg
istered during the whole of last year.
Recent war orders considerably modi
fying the educational entrance re
quirements for membership in the S
A. T. C. are expected to bring in
many new students. The above fig
ures show an increase of 82 over las'
year's enrollment and a decrease of
122 as compared to the attendance
during the 1916-17 session.
The Medical School enrollment of
53 is only four below last year's, 24
of these being first year and 29 second
year men.
The Pharmacy School has an en
rollment of 24, an increase of two
over 1917-18.
D'ye reckon the Kaiser has got any
wiser ?
DISCHARGES BY CO.-PROBABLE
But as One Day is Sufficient for Each
Company, Demobilization Should
be Over by December 15th
Telegraphic orders have been re
ceived at Military Headquarters from
the War Department authorizing the
demobilization of the Students' Army
Training Corps. Loud cheers from
the enlisted men followed the an
nouncement of this news and a deep
and genuine feeling of relief prevails
among the soldier boys of this com-,
munity. The order directs that the B
or Vocational Sections be demobilized,
beginning with the second day of De
cember, but as there is no Vocational
Section here, this portion of the or
ders does not affect the University of
North Carolina. Demobilization of
the A or Academic Sections will be
started on the .fourth day of December
and continue through the twenty-first,
the plan being to discharge first those
men who do not desire to remain in
college until the end of the first quar
ter. However, there has been no defi
nite decision reached as to the manner
of discharge. It is probable !that
discharges will be by companies, Cap
tain Helmer figuring that perhaps not
more than one day will be required
for the disbanding of one, company.
Since the Department directs that de
mobilization be effected with the least
practicable delay after the fourth it
is very likely that the University of
North Carolina S. A. T. C. will be a
thing of the past by the tenth of the
month.
An Army Surgeon is scheduled to
arrive on the Hill not later than the
2nd of December and each man will
be required to undergo a final phy
sical examination before being dis
charged. All issued equipment, cloth
ing, bedding and arms will be turned
over to the Quartermaster, with the
exception of one issued suit, which
may be worn for ninety days after
the soldier leaves the service.
Government insurance may be con
tinued after the soldiers leave the
service. This insurance will carry the
same premium as heretofore and may,
at the individual's discretion, be con
verted into the usual forms of civil
insurance twenty pay life, endow
ment and others. This announcement
willl no doubt be of great interest to
the men of this command and it in
hoped that all will decide to take
advantage of this opportunity.
S. J. Erwin, Jr., of Morganton,
was cited for conspicuous gallantry
in action during the operations con
nected with the Capture of Cantigny
May 27-31, 1918, by his division com
mander. "With exceptional courage
and perseverance he led a carrying
party through heavy fire, making sev
eral trips to the front until wounded."
He has been in France since October
4, 1917, and has been twice wounded
in battle. He is with Co. I, 28th In
fantry. Well, Bill, yore Boches obeyed the
bayonets, didn't they though ?
5. A. T. C. Men at Work
On New Bayonet Course
Regardless of the fact tha(t the
war is over and the army is being
disbanded, the S. A. T. C. men remain
hard at work, some of them now
being engaged in the construction on
a bayonet course. A portion of the
Athletic Field south of the track has
been chosen as a suitable point for
bayonet work, ana1 it is here that the
usefulness of Emerson Field as a base
ball diamond is being enhanced by
the building of a few ditches, which
will give added interest to teh work of
the outfielders. Two short parallel
trenches, about thirty yards apart are
being dug, while between the trenches
is an embankment of earth. Dummies
will be placed on each side of the
mound of dirt. The men can thus
charge the first trench, spear the un
resisting dummies without difficulty,
carry the hillock, render the rest of
the enemy hors de combat, and finish
the work in a victorious charge
against the last trench. The expe
rience gained will be of use in the
next war, probably against the athe
istic Eskimos, who may refuse to let
the ice at the North Pole melt and
give our ships passage to Russia.
The Tar Heel regrets, as it goes to
press, inability to secure a list of
courses to be given after Christmas.
This list, however, will be published
in the next issue. ,
