DEFENSIVE GAME
DURING ALL OF THE
FOOTBALL SEASON
CAROLINA WINS TWO GAMES OF
THE SCHEDULE CONTAINING
EIGHT
ONLY SIXTEEN POINTS SCORED
Carolina closed her 1920 football
season Thanksgiving when the biggest
game of the year was lost to Virginia
in Charlottesville by the score of 14-0.
In the last game of the schedule and
the always notable classic between the
two rival Universities, the Tar Heels
put up a magnificent fight but finally
succumbed, outclassed and defeated.
Thus closed what has been termed
an unsuccessful season for Carolina
in the great college sport.
Coaches Myron Fuller and Clay
Hite, of Yale and West Virginia,
respectively, found a hard working
and eager squad of football players
here early in September and com
menced training it for a hard season,
with hopes of rounding out a success
ful team. The sentiment on the cam
put was that there existed plenty of
material, and a good season was an
ticipated by all. The first game with
Wake Forest was somewhat of a dis
appointment but the game with Yale
that followed revived all hopes and
showed that the Blue and White pos
sessed a hard, scrapping team. There
followed a series of injuries and bad
breaks and frequent defeats. Caro
lina lost her two big games with North
Carolina State and Virginia, and the
season was pronounced a failure.
But now that the season is over,
and desiring to put up no alibi for
our defeats, it must be admitted that
an abundance of material has never
exsited for the Carolina coaches to
work with. It is true that there were
a number of good football players and
plenty of punch and fight, but what
the team apparently lacked was two or
three big stars, overshadowing the
rest. In Robbins Lowe, next year's
captain, there existed a football play
er of great ability, and who was al
ways counted on, but "Runt" was
never at his best during the season,
suffering a number of disheartening
and serious injuries. The rest of the

contribution Judge Shull sends a very
encouraging letter in which he says,
As an alumnus of the University I

but Unfortunafplv livino- in onntVioi-
State and at a considerable distance, '
I cannot be of any real assistance in i

UNIVERSITY ALUMNI
GATHER AFTER THE
TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY
RINGING RESOLUTION IS PASSED
CALLING FOR
RELIEF
EIGHTY THREE ALUMNI MEET
The alumni of the University of
North Carolina assembled for their
annual banquet in connection with the
State Teacher's Assembly in the Y.
W. C. A. cafeteria at Asheville Thurs
day night. Eighty-three alumni were
present, this number including a score
or more of the members of the Bun
combe county Alumni association.
A splendid spirit prevailed, and ring
ing resolutions were adopted, calling
upon the state to make adequate pro
vision for the state university and for
all the state's institutions of higher
education and teacher training.
Presdent H. W. Chase made a very
effective exposition of the pressing
needs which now confront the univer
sity. Dr. Chase pointed out that press
ing needs are encountered now not
only by the university, but by all the
state's institutions for higher educa
tion. He pointed out that the situa
toin is critical and that the state
must come to the relief of all of its
institutions promptly if they are to
function as the youth of the state
urges that they function. "North
Carolina cannot afford to delay longer
in making adequate provision for the
university and for all of her institu
tions of higher educaton," he declared.
Dr. Edwin Mims, formerly head of
the English department of the univer
sity and now head of the English de
partment of Vanderbilt university,
"but always," as the late President
Graham expressed it, "of the Univer
sity of North Carolina," made an effec
tive talk in which he called upon the
alumni to shoulder their full share of
responsibility in making the Univer
sity of North Carolina one of the

that cost if possible, that university is
requesting all its students to fill out

The following is clipped from "The
Kentucky Kernel":
Every student who has not filled
out a cost of education questionnaire
should get one at the postoffice at
once and fill it out.
Instructors and students who still
have questionnaires in their possession
are urged to turn them in at once at

UNIVERSITY LAUNDRY
NOW BEING ERECTED
The foundation and basement of the
University Laundry has been complet
ed and work on the first story of the
building has begun. This building will
fill a long felt need on the campus.
For years the latmdry question has
been a continuous nuisance and bother
to the students. For a long time the
students have been forced to submit
to paying the exorbitant prices charg
ed by the janitors for the low grade
work they do. Four years ago one
could get his laundry done for $1.25
per month, but now it costs almost
that amount per week. Coupled with
this is the low grade of work done and
the continuous loss of clothing. Such
conditions as these have caused the
students to cry long and loudly for a
University Laundry, and their cry has
been heard and is now about to be
answered.

CLUB COMPLETES
DAY TOUR IN
WEST
FIVE-
The University Musical Clubs have
returned from a tour of the western
part of th estate, a tour which was
successful in almost every respect.
The financial end of the tour is one
of which the Clubs are very proud, as
there is quite a sum remaining in the
Club treasury.
Tuesday morning November 16 the
Clubs assembled at the Carolina
Goody Shop, and facing a blinding
rain they rode out to Carrboro where
they boarded the "Chapel Hill Limit
ed" for Charlotte. That night in spite
of the inclement weather they gave a
concert at Queens College.
On Wednesday morning the Clubs
were greeted by the sun and fair
weather. On entering the train for
Spartanburg the boys encountered a
group of Mack Sennett Bathing Girls
who were traveling on their way to
Greenville, S. C, with the "Yankee
Doodle Co." The fine weather and the
girls put the boys in such high spirits
that they entertained the passengers
aboard all the way to Spartanburg.
As in Charlotte, on reaching Spar
tanburg, the boys were met by a
committee of alumni who took charge
of them and hesitated to do nothing
for their pleasure and comfort. That
night the Clubs gave a concert be
fore a very appreciative audience of
Converse College girls and citizens of
Spartanburg.
On Thursday from Spartanburg the
Clubs migrated to Salisbury where
they appeared that night before an
audience of townspeople. Hence to
Winston on Friday. Here the Clubs
were welcomed by the metropolis of
the state and that evening they played
and sang at Salem College for the
Salem College girls and the Winston
alumni and friends.
The climax of the tour, as well as
the climax of concerts, was reached
at N. C. C. W. on Saturday evening.
Playing before their largest and most
appreciative, as well as most critical
audience the Clubs did justice to them
selves and to the University.
SHECKELS PRODUCE WHERE
PROFESSORIAL HUNTERS FAIL
Many of the faculty members and a
few students went hunting on Thanks
giving day. The report has it that a
small number of these hunters got a
bird by the aid of dog and gun but
many more got birds through the ex
change of silver currency. The rate
of exchange being 40 cents per bird.
And they say, " 'Tis a manly sport."

MAKES PRESBYTERIAN
DEDICATION SERMON
DR. VENABLE MAKES PRESENTA
TION FOR THE
DONOR
GIFT OF MR. JAMES SPRUNT
At the dedication ceremonies of the
Presbyterian Church of Chapel Hill
Sunday Morning, attended by a large
gathering of townspeople, students
and out-of-town visitors, Dr. Murphy
Williams, of Greensboro, preaching
the dedication sermon, exhorted the
students especially to take advantage
of the opportunity of worshipping in
this beautiful church erected through
the generosity of Dr. James Sprunt,
of Wilmington, and the result of the
realization by the parishioners that
the most strategic point in the state
at which to build a great and beauti
ful church to administer to the needs
of the coming generation was at the
seat of the state institution of learn
ing. Dr. Francis rreston venable, in
behalf of Dr. Sprunt, the donor of the
church, presented the church to the
Community, the University, and to the
State, expressing the desire of Dr.
Sprunt to see a beautiful church at the
seat of the state university which
would be of lasting service to the state
and its young manhood and which
would stand as a lasting monument
to christian progress. In a forceful
and appreciating message Dr. Moss,
the venerable pastor of the .church, ex
pressed the gratitude of the parishion
ers and the University to Dr. Sprunt
for his generous gift.
Mr. Hobart Upjohn, prominent ar
chitect, of New York City, planned the
design and building of the church.
Mr. Upjohn's grandfather, who built
and designed the beautiful Trinity
Church which stands at the head of
Wall Street in New York City, de
signed and built the Episcopal church
which stands on the edge of the Uni

DI SOCIETY FAVORS GRANTING
COLLEGE UNITS TO DEBATERS
RESOLUTION PASSES BY LARGE
MAJORITY AFTER SPIRITED
DEBATE
The sentiment in favor of giving
college .credit for work in intercoL
legiate debates was strengthened Sat
urday night when the Dialectic Society
expressed itself in favor of the follow
ing resolution by a vote of 88 to 21:
"Resolved, That the Dialectic So
ciety go on record as favoring the
granting of academic credit to stu
dents for work done in intercollegiate
debates that are held under the aus
pices of the Debating Council." Among
the business of the evening was the
initiation of D. E. Scarborough.
The sentiment of the speakers were
divided on the question, but the affirm
ative was in the majority. The affirm
ative presented a number of facts
which they claimed justified the giv
ing of credit for such work. Some
contended that such debates required
so much time and work that it was
a great burden to carry the usual
amount of college work and the debate

BASKET BALL PRACTICE
RESUMED IN EARNEST
. Coach Boye's basketball squad be
gan work in earnest when it resumed
practice Monday night after laying off
since Wednesday night, practically all
the members spending Thanksgiving
and the week-end off the hill.
The squad is considerably strength
ened by the presence of a number of
new men out for practice. Among
these are MacDonald and Hanby of
last year's freshman team, Liipfert
and Woodall of last year's varsity
squad.
Coach Boye has two or three teams
about equal, and indications point to
a team that will be hard to pick
from such a likely squad. Two or
three Y. M. C. A. games are scheduled
before Christmas, though this has not
been given out yet by Manager Person.

OR-
OVER A HUNDRED GIRLS COMING
With the football season closed and
the Virginia game history, Carolina
students are turning their attention
to the annual fall dances, which will
take place Thursday and Friday of
this week.
The dance managers have been
busy in making preparations, and
everything possible has been done by
those in charge to make the dances a
success and a credit to Carolina. The
usual favors and other essentials of a
successful and delightful dance have
been secured, and the Gymnasium is
to be lavishly decorated for the happy
occasions.
Good girls are to be here galore.
The committee has had its hands full
in mailing out over a hundred invi
tations to girls asked by members of
the German Club. The young ladies
coming from all over the state and
adjoining states will begin to arrive
about Thursday noon, and from that
moment on joy will reign supreme.
The Gorgon's Head dance will be
on Thursday night. On Friday night
the German Club dance will be given.
The leaders for the latter dance will
be Billy Carmichael with Miss May
Waller, of Durham, assisted by Dick
Lewis with Miss Louise Haysworth,
of Florence, S. C, and Jno. Harding,
with Miss Frances Whedbee, of Green
ville, S. C.
Music for the dances will be fur
nished by the Weidemeyer Saxaphone
Orchestra, hailing from Huntington,
West Virginia. Word comes from
elsewhere that this band of musicians
:s rendering better dance music than
any rival orchestra in the South. Last
week the orchestra played at V. M. I.
where they made a decided hit.
Following the dances on the Hill a
dance will be given in Durham on
Saturday night in order to complete
a week end of mirth and pleasure for
the young ladies attending the Caro
lina fall hops.
UNIVERSITY ALUMNUS DOES
MEDICAL RESEARCH WORK
DR. E. J. WOOD, OF WILMINGTON,,
MAKES STUDY OF TROPICAL
DISEASES
Dr. E. J. Wood, of the class of '93,
now a prominent physician of Wil
mington, has been in London, Eng
land for some time engaged in the
study of tropical and nervous diseases.
While an assistant in clinical medi
cine at Guy's Hospital he made a
study of quantitative variations in
the appreciation of the vibrating sen
sation in various nervous diseases,
which will be published in the next
number of the hospital reports. He
also lectured on various aspects of
pellagra and on the tropical sprae
disease. In a letter to a member of
the faculty he says in part:
"The most important part of my
work for the year was the discovery
fo the greatness of the British in med
icine. They are our superiors in
many things. In the laboratory I
believe we are ahead but from the
standpoint of keen observation and
painstaking .work they excel us at
many points. Certainly the combina
tion of American and British medi
cine today makes a product which
the Germans will not be able to repro
duce. All through my stay in Lon
don I was filled with regret that I
had gone to Germany in the past when
I might have 'gone to London."
