"Nothing which haa happened in a decade has 6 moved tne students of the Uhiversity and the devotees of college sports the ."State over as .has the sudden death of Romey Story," a4fl . Chapel Hill man yesterday. The news that Carolina's football and baseball , cavtuln would not be able to toattle for his alma mater on the gridiron and diamond und lead liis' loyal forcaa to victory had reach ed ,the institution, but the tidings -of ;hls death found It wholly unprepared. It was almost beyond realisation. BKOAN ON CLASS TEAM. "The career of Romey Story was a . refutation of the contention that In-ter-collegiate athletics is always tlet rlmental in its effects upon youth. Story came to Chapel Hill iln the fall of 1803, a brawny mountaineer, solid built as a wall of steel, but quiet, re served, modest and gentle-hearted as a-child. " He was at first only a fresh man among- freshmen. In his first fall he went out and tried for a po sition on his class football team. Of course he made his place in a wafk. "One incident that occurred during an Inter -class game was never for gotten by the students. A certain aeries of plays hurled the big fresh man squarely against the fence with a tremendous force that made it tremble to its foundations and almost shattered it. When the boys rushed forward to pick up a mangled form, Story was on his feet, unaware that anything had happened. From that Mme-on, he was known as a man of iron, and though from freshman team to 'varsity seemed a far cry, many there were who predicted that 1 great things were in store for 'that fellow Story.' - -X HE TRIES BASEBALL. "The dull season of winter gave way to spring, with its re-awakening of the Hpirit athletic. Nobody thought about Story aa .possible baseball tna- . teriat, end he never ventured near the varslty practice ground, but when the call of his class sounded foif volunteers to win prestige for 'OV-r-next clay found the iblg freshman .hatting and catching on the class gfourifls." He was elected captain, but soon resigned in order to heal a breach .which threatened to Impair , the unity of his clans' struggle in the realm of athletics. Story developed at once Into a class star. Ills batting was something terrific, and again theVft wore whispers that "he was 'varsity baseball material. He went cut and (practiced for the track team and won e 'place on that team. ' "In the fall of his second year toe gan Story's career proper. He made his place on the 'varsity eaally and within a few weeks was classed ns one. f the strongest tackle In the . -fiouth. TStrong, active, alert, con- Boientfottft knowing no such word as . fe'af; tplaying his best every minute, whether grand stands and bleachers . abouted ; Ills name n an ecstasy of adoration or 1 whether deathlike si lence bespoke that ' the supporters had lost heart ana ceased to support. - no more aeipenaaniB man ever don " v ned "suit and nose-gniard. . v . JTho blR. tackle was a man whom it .-was rather hard to analyse, so rtinidly, no quietly, ao 'Silently h . played, ameit bo grituiy, nervuy. ces perately, that one wondered aom ! times just what were the motive T-t most strongly actuating him. Was tt some grim conception of duty in , whose .performance alone lay perfect satisfaction, or did the spontaneous, enthusiasm of the hlgfh-keyed college ' 1 youth strike beneath Ma calm exter ior a aympathetlc chord, which '-flash ,. vd forth its answer In an unconqmer able comhativenens hlbited to th nd of each struggle T j A TEIRRIFIC BATTER, t "The (spring of his sophomore year : J found him practicing with thVvar- alty baseball - team.

This was. a series of athletic honors prob ably unprecedented in the life of the institution. "He played during the summer on the Lincolnton team and was in Charlotte about a month ago for three days. And then in the midst of his career, he died. UNSPOILED BY SUCCESS. "I said that the man did not suf fer ill from his acquaintanceship with athletics. In fact, he got ofat of it all the good possible. He was prob ably not wise in the waya of the World When he entered colleee. He had traveled little. His life probably had been spent within a narrow cir cle. His three years of traveling about the country, of contact wtfh fellow students, of success in this con tests with tham must have given him a degree of polish which he did not possess beforo. And yet amid 4t all, fundamentally he was absolutely un changed. He was as modest, as kind, as unaffected as the captain of a great university eleven and as the heralded Southern athlete, as when an humble 'freshman unknown and unregarded, he first rode Into Chapol Hill. There was not a student who did not respect and, love him for his qualities of Inherent, basic manhood. So Carolina athletics has lost in his death not alone in physical strength and skill, but a type of athletic man hood of the highest order." AUTO STRIKES LITTLE GIRL. COLLEGE CAMPUS BEAtTTFCL.

Small Electric Car in the Hands of James Williamson Runs Into II-Voar-Old Girl and Bruises Her Badly No Blame Attached. Had it not been that the machine, was moving at a low rate of speed and the car a light one, a' fearful automobile accident might have happened at the corner of Trade and Church streets yesterday morning. Mr. James Williamson, a helper about the Barringer garage, was carrying Dr. C. A. Misenheimer's small electric car from the rear of the garage to the front of the estab lishment on Trade street and as he turned the Belwyn Hotel corner, ran against little Margaret Bowie, aged 11, throwing her to the ground and bruising her severely. No bones were broken and no serious harm done other than to the dainty little dress which the child wore and which was muddied and torn beyond re pair. Tho child was terribly frightened. Helping handB lifted her from the muddy street as soon as she touched the ground and carried her to Blair's drug store near by. Sev eral physicians were summoned poBt- naste. They examined her, but found nothing serious the matter. She was carried to the Presbyterian Hospital for attention and doubtless will be at play within a few days. ' The accident happened a little be fore 9 o'clock. Mr. Williamson, who is not a regular employe of the Bar- ringer establishment, but a helper, was running the little electric car around the Sejwyn Hotel corner to tne rront of the garage. The street had Just been sprinkled and he was moving very slow. When he ap proached the crossing connecting the hotel and Kirst Presbyterian church corners, he saw a gentleman and a young girl about to pass. The gentle- man stepped in front of the car and passed by, but the little girl, who had her books in her hand and was on her way to school, hesitated. -When Mr. Williamson saw her stop he Switched on the current to move on. The second he turned on the current the little girl, doubtless thinking the machine waa waiting for her, de cided to follow the gentleman. She ran out over the iron plates cover ing the gutter and was almost by When the left front wheel of the car struck her. She was thrown to the ground and the front wheel passed over her body. The heavy rear wheel fortunately did not touch her at all. A slight gash waa cut in her chin by tha rough edges of the iron plates. A great crowd gathered immedi ately after the collision. The report was spread aorouci that a child had been run over by an automobile and a mob gathered about the drug store In which the child was carried. In a few minutes, however, the true state of. things was announced and the crowd dwindled away, untie Aims Margaret Bowie Is a step-daughter of Mr. A. C.
