Taming of the Shrew;
Subject of Dr. Koch 's
Lecture Thurs. Night
Declaring that Shakespearean
comedy portrays the ; divine achieve
ment of life in the surmounting of
seeming obsta'cles.Dr. Koch dis
cussed the genius of Shakespeare and
gave a realistic impersonation of lead
ing characters in "The Taming of the
Shrew" Thursday night, November
13, in Gerrard Hall.
Dr. Koch drew an apt comparison
between the Grecian and Roman idea
of comedy and that entertained by
Shakespeare in stating that the writ
era of ancient comedy gave essentially
satiric presentations of comedy that
was based on some disfiguring defect
of character, while Shakespearean
comedy developed the innate good
ness of the individual through- the
cerebration of a master mind.;
In comparing Shakespeare with his
contemporary writers of comedy, Dr.
Koch said that in general the comedy
of the 18th century was a rought at
tempt at burlesque, and of the lesser
satellites Ben Jonson : : nearest . "' ap
proached : Shakespeare in his concep
tion of comedy. Quoting Jonson, Dr.
Koch said, "I'll strip the ragged fol
lies of the time and make them as
their birth and with whips, of steel
will make the stage a mirrow where
all shall see the time's deformity."
Playwrites of the present century
fall far short of the " goal set by
Shakespeare according to Dr. Koch,
who cited Ibsen's "Lone Comedy" as
a masterpiece of satire, and Geo. Ber-
"ara bhaw's "Man and Superman"
asn a scintilating satire on socialism.
yi the "Bard of Avon" Dr. Koch
said that to Shakespeare there was
given the power to show the people
something of the wonder and beauty
human nature. He was a creator of
character, a poet-playmaker of the
People and Dr. Koch stated that thru
the "highbrow" methods of his com
mentator Shakespeare had suffered.
He explained the term "highbrow"
38 meaning a person educated beyond

Dr. Koch deplored the lack of tone

and said that the world is inclined to

scriptions will be illustrated by pho
tograph projections."
On January 20 the committee has
secured the services of Dr. S. H.

who will give interpretative readings
among which will probably be ex
cerpts from Percy McKay's clever
play "Washington."

Freshmen Meet the
Virginia Freshmen
Today on Lambert Field
The Freshman football squad with
Coach Bond and Manager Erwin in
charge left yesterday afternoon for
Charlottesville, Virginia, where they
will meet the first year men of the Old
Dominion on Lambet Field this after
noon. Captain McDonald's men are
in good shape and are expecting to re
turn to the Hill with another scalp
in their belt of trophies which include
many gridiron victories.
Both teams have a string of vic
tories to their credit, and have shown
some" fast work this season. The
Virginia men have lost only one game
this fall, and have defeated several of
the strongest prep school squads in
that state. In the contest with the
Pennsylvania first yearmen, they
were defeated by a score of 9 to 3.
Staunton and Fishburne met defeat
at their hands. Coach Bond's men
have won all four games which they
have played. They have piled up a
score of 139 as against their oppo
nents' none. The average weight of
the team is about 158 pounds. In
their scrimmage against the varsity
they have displayed good team work.
Every indication points toward a fast
and hard battle when these young
sons of the two traditional rivals
meet this afternoon.

Phi Assembly Votes .
Against Open Doors
Despite , the efforts of the framers
of the bill, which would open the
doors of the Phi society to the public,
it was defeated by a vote of 52 to 30
at the meeting last Saturday night.
The bill .was warmly contested on
both sides and at the beginning of
the discussion it looked as if the
framers of the bill had a sure victory.
The affirmative contended that many
people were ignorant as to the activi
ties of the .society, and by leaving the
assembly public many could gain an
insight as to its , work. ,The suppor
ters of the bill also attempted to show
that an outside audience would ; be a
great incentive to new speaker.

FRESHMEN WALK THRU
BINGHAM'S LINE WITH
FIFTY-ONE TO ZERO SCORE
CADETS UNABLE TO STAND
1 BEFORE POWERFUL
DEFENSE
CADETS PUT UP A HARD FIGHT
The Carolina freshmen swept the
Bingham Cadets off their feet last
Saturday, piling up a 51 to 0 score.,
representing 8 touchdowns. '
The Freshmen started off with a
rush, scoring in the first few minutes
of play, by brilliant open field run
ning of McDonald and the line plung
ing of McGee and Maxwell. The
Freshmen continued the same rapid
pace throughout the first half, circl
ing the ends at will and plunging
through the line at random.
The first half ended with the ball
in the possession of the Freshmen,
and in the shadow of the goal post,
with the score standing 18 to 0 in
the Freshmen's favor.
The second half was more disas
trous to the , Cadets than the first.
The Carolina backs , went down the
field at their own pleasure, seldom
losing the ball except when -they
kicked off.
Bingham was at all times helpless
in the face of the powerful defense
put up by the Freshmen, and on every
attempted end run were thrown for
big losses. The Cadets were unable
to make but two first downs, and
never crossed the fifty yard line but
once, and on that occasion only for
a second, as an attempted end run re
sulted in a ten yard lop,, 'During the
third quarter, with the score 37 to
0, the Freshmen varsity was replaced
by the first substitute eleven, which

When Carolina and Virginia meet
here next Thursday in the ' gridiron
classic of .the south, the two elevens
will present line-ups practically in
tact from injuries and capable of giv
ing each other their best battle.
North Carolina has come out of
the disastrous slum that lost to V. M.
I. and is developing rapidly in the
interim. Virginia, it is understood,
has a squad of untold potentiality
which has undergone a steady de
velopment during the season. The
Virginians were defeated last Satur
day by Vanderbilt but, according to
press despatches, the Commodores
were outplayed. Virginia crossed the
Vanderbilt goal-line twice but was
called back once on a penalty.
The two teams are very evenly
matched as to weight but Carolina
should have the edge in experience,
five of the 1916 varsity men being in
this year's line-up. Virginia has one
old varsity man.

ture edition for all the football news.
Girl Colleges Will
be Represented at ,
the Thanksgiving Came
On Thanksgiving day, Carolina will
have as her guests a large number of
young ladies from the colleges in
Raleigh and Greensboro. This was
the information given at the office of
Mr. Woollen, the business manager.
Although plans for their visit have
not been completed, it is certain that
these ardent supporters of the Blue
and White will be on the sidelines
cheering Capt. Coleman's men on to
victory.
Peace has made all arrangements
for their attendance upon the game.
N. C. C. W. will not be able to have a
full quota, but will be represented by
members of the Senior Class, G- C. W.
and St. iMary's are making every ef
fort to come, but they have not in
formed the University officials as to
their definite plans yet. These young
ladies will come to Chapel Hill on
special trains which will arrive about
11 or 12 o'clock Thanksgiving morn
ing. They will return to their re
spective schools as soon as the game
is over. Further announcement will
be made as soon as more definite in
formation is received. '
Grand Concert by
Joseph Konecny
fZniinent Violinist
The people of Chapel Hil and vi
cinity will have a rare opportunity,
if not the ; chance of a life-time, to
hear Joseph Konecny, the celebrated
violin virtuoso, and his assisting ar
tists on December 1.
It is seldom that cities of the size
of Chapel Hill have the opportunity
of hearing and seeing a great ar
tist, a man who through his genius
has carved out a niche for himself
in the world. Even the larger cities
do not) have such opportunities a
few times a year is all that can be
boasted of whan it comes to a real,
renowned artist.
The violin, the "king of instru-,
ments," in the hands of a master is
the most potent of all instruments.
Fond recollections of the family circle,
of friendships, and everything that
is dear to the heart ssntiments that
every one feels , and cherishes more
than words can express these are
the things that are brought home to
you by the violin of this Bohemian
wizard. For he has been blessed with
the divine spark of interpretating the
great works of the masters in that
universal language of the heart,
which makes them imigrWe--tQall.
There is something more than musifr -
that comes from his bow; it is that
something you feel, that makes you
thinkand thrills you througn ana
through.
Tar Heel Eleven Holds
the State Championship;
Sat. Game Settled it
Carolina's victory oyer Davidson in
football Saturday at Winston-Salem
unquestionably gave the Chapel Hill
warroirs the title of North Carolina
football champions and supporters of
the University eleven are now await
ing with , interest the annual Carolina-Virginia
classic on Thanksgiving
day. The University team has de
feated every eleven in the State. ,
The game : Saturday went to Caro
lina by a count of 10 to Q and the de
tails of the dash, carried by the Winston-Salem
Journal, reveal that Coach
Campbell's players are returning to
form after the poor showing against
V. M. I. The coaches this week will
begin the hard practice grind prepar
atory to the most important game at
Chapel Hill Thanksgiving with the
ancient rivals from Virginia.
Open Shop is Favored
' by Dialectic Society
At its regular meeting Saturday
night, the Di Society adopted a reso
lution opposing the spirit 1 of row
dyism and ungentlemanly conduct
that has come on the campus this
year. W. H. Bobbitt proposed the
resolution, which, after a short ex
planation by G. D. Crawford, was
passed by unanimous vote of the
society. The most flagrant exhibition
of this un-Carolina spirit was at the
recital given by the Overseas Ladies
under the auspices ' of the Y. M. C.
A. The Di Society believes that such
actions are not representative of the
Carolina student body, and its has
tening to stamp them with its firm
disapproval, will, in the opinion of
many, have a sobering effect on those
who would drag down the fine repu
tation students of this Institution en
joy over the country.
The debate on the Open Shop ques
tion drew from the members of the
society a heated discussion of the
labor problem in general, and the
regular debate with Boyd and Town
send Representing -the affirmative
against Williams and Corpening on
the negative, resulted in a unanimous
decision in afvor of the affirmative.
Judging from the amount of senti
ment expressed against the closed
shop principle, the Di Society must
be fully two thirds in favor .of the
open shop basis for worksmen.

tension is greater this year than ever
before. A total of twelve schools have
