CAROLINA GETS NEWS WHILE HOT
As farther proof of the fact that
"we do things at Carolina," electrical
engineering students have installed
a wireless in Phillips Building and re
ports concerning all important hap
penings of national interest together
with results of sporting events are
now known in Chapel Hill immediate
ly after they happen
Time was when it was late in the
night before scores of baseball and
football games were known in Chapel
hill. But now, thanks to this wire
less, the score of baseball games is
announced inning by inning, and foot
ball results are given out each quar
ter. The receiving end of the wireless
is in a basement room in Phillips
Hall and from that room the antennae
of the station stretch to the top of
the 120 foot smoke stack of the Uni
versity power plant.
UNIVERSITY LIBRARY RECIPIENT
OF VALUABLE SET OF BOOKS
SET IS GIFT OF UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA TO THE
UNIVERSITY
The University Library is the reci
pient of an excellent set of books,
a gift from the Universtiy of Cali
fornia. This set consisting of forty
three volumes is known as the Semi
Centenniel Publications of that in
stitution. Every fifty years the Uni
versity of California collects and pub
lishes the various literary produc
tions of its faculty. The set just re
ceived contains such writings between
the years 1868-1818. Published by
the University of California Press at
Berkely, Cal., the collection contains
everything in science literature and
history written and discovered at the
University of California in the past
half century. Some of the titles are
"Idealism and the Modern Age, by
G. P. Adams, "The Greek Theater"
by T. J. Allen, "Kinso's Historical
Memoir," H. E. Bolton, "L'exotisme
Americain," Gilbert Chanaid, "Ed
mund Spencer," H. E. Cory, "Typhoid
Fever," F. P. Gray, "Game Birds of
California," Joseph Grinnell, "Kipling
the Story Writer," W. M. Hart,
"Spain's Declining Power in South
America," Bernard Moses, "Physical
Chemistry of the Proteins," T. B.
Robertson, and "Fundamental Equa
sions," Frederick Slate. So the set
contains some of the best works re
cently done in biography, science, his
tory and other subjects.
Another valuable additions to the
Library at the suggestion of the Ger
man department is a sixty volume set
of Martin Luther's works. This col
lection contains fifty-two volumes of
"Table Talk" and four volumes of
miscellaneous writings, four volumes
of his German Bible. It will be remem
bered that Luther translated this
Bible from the Hebrew into German.
It was what may be called the main
factor in unifying the German lan
guage. Before this Bible was trans
lated, each German state had a differ
ent language. The publication of
Luther's wa3 thus a great factor in
bnnping about the unification of the
language.
SOUTHERN RWY. CHANGES
SCHEDULE OF LIMITED
It has been announced by the
Southern Railway Company that
J rain No. 236 between Chapel Hill
Station and University will leave
Carrboro at 3:50 P. M. instead of
4:00 P. M. and will arrive at Univer

THE
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE
V. M. I. HANDS VIRGINIA
SURPRISE
With the exception of the V.
M. I. Va. and N. C. State
Georgetown games there was no
upset of the dope in Saturdays
results. Virginia's defeat at the
hands of V. M. I. by the de
cisive score of 22 to 6 came as
a surprise to many, after her
showing against Randolph-Macon
last week. N. C. State also,
after triumphing over the Navy
at Annapolis, showed a reversal
of form and went down before
the Generals 27 to 0. Carolina's
failure to score against Yale
was a disappointment to some,
although the score against her
was not so large as that of last
year.
Georgia Tech overwhelmed
Davidson 66 to 0, and the Uni
versity of Georgia held South
Carolina scoreless while herself
piling up 37 points. Washing
ton and Lee defeated Wakes
Forest 27 to 0. Maryland State
was helpless against Princeton,
and drew the small end of a 35
to 0 score. The games generally
had little or no direct bearing
upon either the State of the
South Atlantic championship
standing.
Next Saturday N. C. State
meets Penn State, and Carolina
the University of South Caro
lina at Chapel Hill. With these
preparatory games, both teams
should be in trim shape for
their encounter at Raleigh on
the 21st.
COL. PRATT TALKS IN CHAPEL
ON MILITARY TRAINING HERE
URGES NEW MEN TO CONSIDER
ADVANTAGES OF
R.O.TjC.
Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt on Friday
morning spoke to the Freshman Class
in Chapel about the R. O. T. C. He
was introduced by Mr. Frank Gra
ham who ended with the words that
"Col. Pratt led the attack on the wes
tern battle front in Europe where
the North Carolina troops wrote their
names in mud, blood, and glory."
Col. Pratt was not able to speak
standing on account of injuries sus
tained in a fall some time ago.
Seated on the platform he brought
fourth the following facts.
When a person is undertaking a
problem he generally thinks, first of
how it is going to affect our com
munity, our town, our country, our
state, before he thinks of how it is
going to affect our country at large.
The patriot first thinks of how it is
going to affect our country at large,
then the state, county, town, com
munity, and lastly himself.
CoX. Pratt then discussed the posi
tion that the University of North
Carolina should hold in the state "It
should be so equipped and developed,"
he said, "that it can give any Infor
mation about anything to anybody
anywhere. It should be so equipped
that it can train men to take up
any profession. The chief source of
information is the University, and it
should be so equipped to aid the
state in obtaining what it needs."
The state needs an organized mali
tia and it must have some kind of pro
tection. The question is "How is the
University of North Carolina going
to assist the state in obtaining an
organized malitia?"
The United States is not at peace
with Germany. She has not yet sign
ed the Peace Treaty, and a state of
war still exists between her and Ger
many and Austria. The question con
cerning compulsory military train
ing was brought up in Congress. Con
gress did not pass this bill but it did
pass a bill for the reorganization of
the Regular Army, National Guard,
and R. O. T. C. The bill provides for
.voluntary instead of compulsory
training through the National Guard
and R. O. T. C.
North Carolina, in the division of
the National Guard, is in what is
known as the Fourth Corps. The

CHAPEL HILL, N. C. OCTOBER
DIALECTIC SOCIETY
BY BIG MAJORITY
VOTES REVALUATION
SPIRITED DISCUSSION ENDS IN
LARGE VOTE . FOR RE
VALUATION FIFTEEN NEW MEN INITIATED
. - - -
After a warm discussion last Sat
urday night the Dialectic Society
expressed itself as favoring the Re
valuation act, by a large majority
vote. At this meeting'there was also
the initiation of fifteen men into the
society. - f
After tjie initiation of the new
members, the program took the form
of an open forum discussion on the
question, "Resolved, that the Dialec
tic Society go on record as favoring
the Revaluation act." - The resolution
was introduced by Joe Erwin, who
expressed himself as heartily in favor
of the act as a means of listening all
property at its real value on the tax
books. He explained the Revaluation
act, showing why he claimed that the
machinery of the system provides jus
tice for all tax payers. Pojnting out
former inequalities in taxation, he
gave his reasons for believing that
the Revaluation would eradicate these
evils from our tax system.
C. W. Phillips followed, also up
holding revaluation. He read para
graphs from North Carolina laws
which explained revaluation. He con
tended that it was an absolutely fair
measure to all, and without any par
tiality to favor any city property
owners.
R. B. Robbins read'a section from
the constitution of ,the State, which
provided that all taxable property
should be listed and gave this as his
reason for not favoring revaluation.
One of his reasons for apposing the
act was that the property was as
sessed at abnormal times, and at a
time of inflated prices brought about
by abnormal conditions.
J. D. Darsette made a spirited talk
in favor of the act. He contended
that many of the objections to the
act were made for political purposes.
The discussion was a spirited one
throughout and keen interest was
shown in the subject.
At the next meeting the question
of whethe Eugene B. Debbs should
be released from the federal prison
at Atlanta will be discussed.

CAROLINA DROPS HARD FOUGHT
GAME TO YALE IN NEW HAVEN
SATURDAY BY SCORE OF 21 TOO
CLARK LAW CLUB MEETS
FOR FORMAL ORGANIZATION
C. H. NICHOLS ELECTED PRESI
DENT AND H. BRANTLEY
MADE CLERK
Last Saturday morning the Law
Club, more correctly known as the
Clark Club, was formally organized
for this year by the election of C. H.
Nichols, President, and H. Brantley,
Clerk. This Club, as the name signi
fies, is made up of law students and
any member of the first and second
year classes is eligible to member
ship in the Club. The Clark Club, a
recent organization in the Law School
having been organized only last De
cember, bears its name after Chief
Justice Walter Clark of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina. .
The Club meets bi-monthly and as
sumes the role of the supreme court
of the State and tries cases as per the
regular procedure of this latter body.
A member of the law faculty, who
prepares the case two weeks in ad
vance of the convening of the Club,
acts as chief -justice. Two members
of the Club are duly selected as at
torneys, while the remainder of the
members act as associate justices,
the President and Clerk excepted.
Each associate justice, is at the con
clusion of the trial required to render
an opinion on the case under con
sideration not to exceeed three min
utes in length, the opinion of the
chief-justice being reserved till the
last.
The purpose of such a Club is, of
course, to train its members in points
of law and court procedure through
actual participation in it.
In addition to the Clark Club are
four other law clubs, these being the
Iredell Club, named in honor of
Judge Iredell, a noted equity judge of
the State; the McGehee Club, named
after professor . McGehee of the law
faculty; the Battle Club, named in
honor of Judge William H. Battle,
founder of the Law School; and the
Ruffin Club, so named after Chief
Justice Ruffin of this State.
The purpose of these five Clubs are
naturally practically the same being
that of training its members in points
of law through actual contact with
the workings of the law.
DR. BRANSON OUTLINES PLANS
FOR NORTH CAROLINA CLUB
NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIAL
AND URBAN TO FORM BASIS
OF WORK
The North Carolina club held a
short meeting in Gerrard Hall Friday
night for the purpose of discussing
and outlining plans for the year's
work.
Dr. Branson presided at the meet
ing and outlined plans for the year
that have been considered for the
year by last year's steering commit
tee. The plans have not been com
pleted or perfected, but a fairly defi
nite program has been decided upon,
which .will be announced when it is
completed.
The work of the year will be on the
general subject, "North Carolina, In
dustrial and Urban." Each member
that is to have charge of a program
will make an intense research to find
out the actual facts in regard to his
subject, and will present them in the
form of a report to the club. These
reports should be nothing less than
a contribution to the knowledge of
urban conditions in the state. This
year one man will handle each sub
ject alone, instead of dividing the
subject between two or more mem
bers, as has been done formerly Dr.
Branson expressed the willingness of
the members of the faculty, who
took courses related to the subjects,

TUMBLE ON YALE'S TEN-YARD
LINE COSTS CAROLINA'S
CHANCE TO SCORE
LOWE OUT PUNTS YALE BACKS
Carolina Win First Down by Sue
ceisful Aerial
Attack
Playing a much better game than
the score would indicate Carolina was
defeated by Yale at New Haven Sat
urday. The score was 21 to 0, repre
senting three touchdowns and goals
from placement. During the first half
Yale was clearly outplayed, and but
for costly fumbles on the part of Car
oline there probably would have been
another story. The punting of Lowe
for Carolina was easily the outstand
ing feature of the game. He con
sistently outpunted the Yale backs by
fifteen yards.
Yale's first touchdown came in the
very first minutes of play as a re
sult of Poindexter's fumble on the
kick-off which fell short upon the 45
yard line. By a series of rushes the
ball was carried across. Yale again
kicked off and for the remainder of
the half the ball was kept well with
in, their territory. Carolina, in the
second quarter advancing the bull as
far as their ten yard line only to lose
it upon another fumble. The half
ended with the ball well In the middle
of the field.
Ik the third quarter Yale scored
again, Carolina suffering heavily from
penalties, but managing to keep the
ball usually in the center of the field.
Hanby blocked on attempt at a field
goal from the 30 yard line. Yale
scrred again in the fourth. Carolina
uucorked an excellent aerial attack,
and made good gains on off -tackle
plays, but was unable to recoup heavy
losses through penalties. Both eleven
played almost the entire game with
first string men.

A portable Delco light set; a Delco
water system pumping water from a
small tank through a regular faucet
into a sink; a washing machine; a
vacuum cleaner; a churn; a fan and
iron; a sewing machine; and a utility
motor. All of these were electrically
operated.
Mr. Walke of this division will be
