I have enjoyed copies of the 'Tar Heel' already received and wish to thank you for send ing same. "Here's to the success of the 'Tar Heel,' and Carolina, especially on Thanksgiving. . . ." " . . . I could leave Carolina, but I can't do without that 'Tar Heel'. .. ." " . . . I enjoy reading the paper very much as it keeps me in touch with events as they occur at Chapel Hill. ... I don't know what I would do without the 'Tar Heel'. . . ." Box - and Of Distinctive Quality Poi 66 Class Football Games All Even in a Tie As we go to press the standing of the various classes on the roll of gridiron honor is rather uncertain. The Professional school team has lost one, game and failed to show up for the other, much to the disappoint ment of the Senior team which was also absent. It seems then, that the struggle will be only between the academic classes. tThe Seniors hold that dignity,' hand in hand with much learning, must eventually win the laurels; while the Juniors have no ephemeral hopes but one constant purpose to carry off the bacon. The Sophomores, on the other hand, declare that the force cf their traditional bloodthirstiness especially with Ratty on the job- must open the way to the goal; but the Freshmen, with that unconquer able confidence of youth and fresh ness are coming out in larger num bers than all of the other teams com bined. The games played thus far have by some coincidence ended each tim with a, tie, thus giving hope to all, but vic tory to none. Mr. Adolph Topperwein Demonstrates ef ore Students Keen Shooting A bility Demonstrating the exceptional soot ing qualities of the Winchester rifle, Mr. Adolph Topperwein today, below the cemetery, gave one of the most marvelous exhibitions of fancy shoot ing ever seen in this part of the country. Mr. Topperweni used rifle, shot gun and pistol and shot from every conceivable position in his per formance Mir. Topperwein shot with pistols and hit small rubber balls in rapid succession, bursting as many as three thrown in the air at the same time. With the rifle, he carried an Indian chief's head at a distance of about twenty feet in a piece 1 of sheet tin, shooting as fast as he could load his rifle. He made some remarkable shots too, using a mirror and shooting over his shoulder or between his legs. Three targets thrown in the air at the same time were shot to pieces with out seming effort. After the exhi bition by the world famous shot, any one who wished to show his ability as a gun man, was given the chance with clay pigeons as the target. A. & E. Show Pictures For Benefit of Elec.
