FRESHMEN REVENGE
DEFEAT OF VARSITY
IN GAME SATURDAY
FIRST YEAR MEN SHOW GOOD
OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE ,
PLAY
FRESHMEN TAKE FIRST BLOOD
Throwing themselves into the game
with a punch that fairly swept their
opponents off their feet the Carolina
first-year eleven defeated the similar
aggregation from State College Sat
urady on Riddick Field by the score
of 14 to 6.
Within the first five minutes of
play the Carolinians had run across
two touchdowns and bade fair to
swamp the Red and White beneath
an avalanche of points. However,
their brand of play steadily declined,
and as the game progressed the State
yearlings came back stronger and
stronger.
It was just at the beginning of the
final period that State broke through
for her lone score, and not content with
that again rushed the ball threaten
ingly into Carolina territory. It was
at this juncture that Rice decided that
things had gone far enough, and,
picking up the pigskin, raced sixty
yards down the field with it and saved
the day for the freshmen, for forever
after the ball was kept in safe terri
tory. With this exception there were
no long runs, Carolina's steady gains
being recorded by consistent rushes.
The aerial game was resorted to by
both elevens with but small measure
of success. Carolina completing but
one pass out of ten attempts and that
for but five yards gain. State did not
attempt a single pass until the final
quarter when she tried six, complet
ing one for two yards advance. Car
olina made fifteen first downs as
against seven by state. In the mat
ter of penalties the Blue and White
was unfortunate, losing 85 yards by
this method as against 15 by State.

DI SOCIETY FEATURES NEW
F ANGLED MUSICAL DEBATE
SIGNOR McCALL CONTESTS WITH
M'SEUR EDWARDS AS TO
MUSICAL ABILITY
A "musical debate" formed a novel
and highly enjoyable program at the
Dialectic Society meeting Saturday
night. This type of program was en
tirely new to the society, the mem
bers of which were highly pleased by
the music and humorous oratory.
The affirmative was represented by
J. V. McCall, W. E. Wiles, and S. M.
Turner, while the negative was up
held by P. H. .Edwards, Joe Ervin,
and G. B. Porter. The question was
as follows: "Resolved, That the mu
sic of Signor McCall is better than
that of Monsieur Edwards."
The debate began with the sound
ing of the first strains of the ac
cordion of "Signor" McCall, who
pleased the society so much than he
was encored. Monsier Edwards then
skillfully rendered a selection on his
violin, which was also enjoyed very
much, as was attested by an encore.
W. E. Wiles then proceeded to extol
the music of Mr. McCall in language
that was flowery and highly humor
ous, as well as effective. The next
speaker was "Judge" Ervin, who laud
ed the music of the artist of his pref
erenceMonsieur Edwards. He claim
ed that even the music rendered on
the golden streets of heaven could
not compare with that of Mr. Ed
wards. Mr. Turned continued the de
bate by defending the music of McCall.
G. B. Porter then made good use of his
IdVIWA - 1 1 11 it '
ciJ5D vueaumary m praising me im
mortal strains" of Monsieur Edwards..
, The judges were unable to decide
which "artist" made the best music,
but from the standpoint of argument
they decided in favor of the negative.
ANSWER THE RED CROSS ROLL
VIRGINIA-VANDERBILT TIE
UPSETS DOPE ON THANKS
GIVING GAME
With Virginia holding Van
derbilt to a 7 to 7 tie, and with
Davidson's victory over Caro
lina 7 to 0, football dope on the
outcome of the Thanksgiving
Carolina-Virginia game became
even more confused.
South Carolina University
bowed to Navy 63 to 0; Rich
mond College defeated Wake
Forest 20 to 7; and Syracuse
got the smaller end of a 10-to-7
score with Maryland State.
Trinity kept up her winning
streak by defeating Elon 13 to
6; and Georgia Tech continued
to march towards the South At
lantic Championship when she
vanquished Georgetown 35 to 6.
V. M. I.'s overwhelming victory
over the Catholic University
showed that she, too, was ad
vancing towards South Atlantic
honors. V. M. I. and Georgia
Tech both remain undefeated
and unless a post season game
is arranged it now seems prob
able that the championship will
remain in doubt.
SOPHOMORES CONTINUE THE
WINNING STREAK SATURDAY
HUNNICUTT FOR THE JUNIORS IS
OUTSTANDING STAR OF
GAME
The sophomores defeated the jun
iors on the class field Saturday by the
score of 13 to 7. The game was un
usual for its thrills, abounding in long
runs and sensational plays.
The juniors received, Parker re
turning the ball to the 15-yard line.
Line plays netted thirty-five more
and a forward pass, Hunnicutt to
Hester was good for 50 yards and
touchdown. Hester kicked goal. Dur
ing the remainder of the half the
sophs kept the ball threateningly in
the junior's territory, but were un
able to score. The half ended with the
ball on the juniors' 20-yard line.
The second half opened with the
sophs receiving on their 20-yard line.
The ball was carried down the field
by the steady march of Morris and
Spruill, Green carrying it over for a
touchdown. Green failed to kick goal.
On the following kick-off the sophs
scored again. Morris, of the sophs,
kicked the ball well behind the junior
goal line, and Phillips racing down
the field fell upon it for a touchdown.
The juniors vigorously protested this
score, but referee Shaw ruled it valid.
Green kicked goal. For the remainder
of the game neither team threatened,
though the juniors launched an ex
tensive aerial attack in a desperate
effort to put across another score.
For the sophs the playing of Spruill
and Morris stands out, while for the
juniors the work of Hunnicutt was
the feature of the game, though the
splendid aggressive work of Captain
Hester and the strong defensive play
of Parker deserved mention.

FORMER U. N. C. PRESIDENT
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHICAL WORK
DANIEL AUGUSTUS THOMPSON, A
BUILDER OF THE NEW
SOUTH
One of the most recent books is
that by George Tayloe Winston, "A
Builder of the New South," a story of
the life work of Daniel Augustus
Tompkins. The author was formerly
president of the University of North
Carolina, University of Texas, and
North Carolina College of Agriculture
and Engineering.
Mr. Winston dedicates his book
with these words: "To the young men
of the South this story of a life de
voted to the upbuilding of their native
land after its overthrow and impover
ishment by Civil War and Reconstruc
tion is lovingly dedicated by a life
long teacher of Southern youth."
According to the foreword, "among
the foremost of the commonwealth
builders was Daniel Augustus Tomp
kins, industrial worker, promoter and
missionary. He was fitted for the
work by heredity and early environ
ment, by character, talents, and edu
cation. Born and brought up on a
Southern plantation, educated and
trained in northern technical schools,
mills and machine shops, inventive
and receptive of new ideas, strong and
energetic in body and mind, interested
in everything pertaining to man, he
was a rare combination of worker and
philosopher, of a student and teacher,
of economist and philanthropist, a
Southern Franklin, growing in poor
soil and enriching the soil he grew
in." Then follows the narrative of the
life work of Mr. Tompkins.
"A Builder of the New South" is
published by Doubleday, Page and
Company, New York.
YHdUSE
PHI SOCIETY VOTES
NOT TO OFFER AID
TO GOOD ATHLETES
RESOLUTION AGAINST PROFES
SIONALISM PASSES ASSEMBLY
WITH LARGE MAJORITY
NOT TO AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS
A resolution entitled: "Resolved,
That the Phi Assembly go on rec
ord as disapproving of the Univer
sity offering pecuniary inducements
to baseball and football players to
come to the University other than
that offered to other University men,"
was passed by a vote of 35 for to 20
against. Those who voted against
this resolution favored the giving of
scholarships to players, and not mon
ey. The chief argument hinged on
whether the University should ap
prove of professionalism. B. C. Brown
spoke ardently in favor of the resolu
tion. "We are not here to win so
many football victories. Men who
have character and who need fi
nancial aid should be given the lim
ited number of scholarships allowed
by the University rather than they be
donated to athletes who would other
wise not require financial aid. We
should get men here who will come
up to the standard of clean sports
manship, but we must not give them
any financial inducement," said Mr,
Brown. W. T. Shaw contended that
inducements to athletes would add to
the progress of professionalism. "To
pay an athlete's expenses or to give
him scholarship would be to pay his
price," said Mr. Shaw.
John Kerr opposed the bringing of
professional players to the Univer
sity. "It would be a smirch upon the
athletic life and spirit of the Univer
sity, but I see nothing morally wrong
in tendering a scholarship to a deserv
ing high school athlete who is desir
ous of entering the University," said
Mr. Kerr.
On November 21st at 2:15 o'clock a
picture of the members of the Gen
eral Assembly of the Philanthropic
Society will be taken in front of the
library.
DR. W. S. BERNARD SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL THURSDAY NIGHT
SPEECH ON "WHAT IS IDEALISM"
WELL RECEIVED IN GER
RARD HALL
At the weekly religious meeting
of the Y. M. C. A. Thursday night,
Mr. W. S. Bernard gave a very in
teresting talk on "What is Ieadlism."
He took the story of Judas Iscariot
as his example. The lesson to us is,
are we as college men going to hold
to our idealism after we leave this
campus which is literally filled with
idealism, or are we going to accept
the world's statement that "you have
to do this way to get along?" We
are selling our idealism, in the words
of Mr. Bernard, if we fail to hold to
the principles by which we live here.
Has America sold her idealism in its
"America First" slogan, was another
question raised during the discussion
Thursday evening.
The Y. M. C. A., in conducting these
weekly meetings, attempts to have
good speeches and good subjects pre

CAROLINA LOSES TO
DAVIDSON WILDCATS
BY ONE TOUCHDOWN
TWENTY-FIVE YARD RUN OF
SHEPARD GIVES DAVIDSON ,
GAME
SCORE IN LAST TWO MINUTES
A lone touchdown by Gig Shepherd
within the last two minutes of play
turned the tide of an almost certain
0 to 0 tie into a 7 to 0 victory for
Davidson. Carolina had the ball upon
her 25-yard line, and, due to the near
ness of the end of the game, changed
her defensive policy, to which she had
adhered during the entire contest, and
attempted a long pass, Lowe to Mc
Donald, over left end. Poe, of David
son, rushed in and intercepted the
pass, returning it to Carolina's 23
yard line. On the very next play
Shepherd took the ball on a long,
sweeping run around right end, and
eluding the entire Carolina first line
and secondary defense swept across
the goal for a touchdown. ' Brady
kicked goal, and one minute later the
game was over, and Davidson had
won her first victory over Carolina
since 1910.
Twice the Blue and White lost ex
cellent chances to score through lack
of the final punch to shove the ball
across. The first opportunity occur
ring in the first quarter, came as a
result of an intercepted pass by
Spaugh upon Davidson's 33-yard line.
The ball was then advanced 3 yards
by a line plunge by Spaugh, and 20
more by a neat pass Lowe to McDon
ald. With the ball on the Wildcats' 10
yard line, successive line plays carried
it to the 3-yard mark with fourth down
and goal to go, but McDonald's pass
struck the goal post and fell dead to
the ground. Again in the third quar
ter Carolina managed to get within
striking distance when McDonald re
ceived a punt on his 25-yard line and
returned it to the 40-yard mark before
he was downed, then two forward
passes in quick succession, Lowe to
McDonald, for 15 yards, and Lowe to
Hutchins, for 25, placed the oval on
Davidson's 20-yard line, but there the

MUSICAL CLUBS BEGIN TOUR
IN CONCERT AT ST. MARY'S
LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS OPEN
ING CONCERT OF GLEE
CLUB
Great interest and contagious en
thusiasm manifested by prolonged ap
plause and an audienco which taxed
the auditorium almost to its full seat
ing capacity, characterized the fall's
opening entertainment by the Univer
sity Musical Clubs at St. Mary's Sat
urday evening. St. Mary's, Pea"e,
and Meredith were fully represented,
the young ladies constituting the most
appreciative audience the Glee Club
has commanded in many a year. The
yodeling of "Bobbie" Wunsch, the
Mandolin Club selections, and the
"Symphonic Syncopations" of the
Tar Baby Five, that happy, snappy
jazz gang were the distinguishing
characteristics of the program. Mr.
Nichol's solos were received with
hearty applause.
The t concert began promptly at
8:30 o'clock, opening with "Song of
College Days," Adams, by Glee Club
and Orchestra. This number was fol
lowed by an encore from the Quartet,
which also made "a big hit." Each
college air from the "College Med
ley" was met with a spontaneous ex
pression of appreciation, i
Between the numbers of the pro
gram a ventriloquist minister, a
friend of Dr. Way's, gave an amusing
impromptu vaudeville act. His enter
tainment blended admirably with that
of the Musical Clubs, and with "Hark
the Sound," the program ended, and
was pronounced a brilliant success.
.. Blackburn College, Illinois, has
every available space filled and the
authorities were forced to turn away
175 prospective students.
