ran 0 ,L"-.'' ; Jo THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, ; (klPEL HILL, N. Ci, NOVEMBER; 1, 1894. Vol. 3. NO. 7. AR Sewanee vs. University. SB WANED NOT IN IT. 36 to 4. Bad Playing- on Both Sides. The game for the championship between Sewanee and the Univer sity was played in Asheville, Satur day, Oct. 27.- The team reached Asheville at two o'clock Friday and puickly donned their suits and trot ted out to the ball park and af tei practicing" signals, they trotted back a mile and a quarter. N. B. D. H. tickets to and from the park wen given the 'team by the street-car company. The Bingham School turned out en viassc and were true to Carolina, offering- their services f in any way they were needed. It was fine playing weather but poor crowd weather, "Blame circuses anyhow," were the words of the manager. When the game was called Caro lina won the toss. Captain Bas- kerville chose to run his men down hill, as the field was not level, and Sewanee had the kick off. The ball is advanced by easy and slow rushes to within a few yards of a touch down when Sewanee secures it and tries a kick. This is blocked, Ran kin falls on the ball and is dragged across the line by Collier. Basker ville kicks the goal. Sewanee kicks off and the ball is fumbled but is Carolina's on the .twenty-five yard line. It was ad vanced a few yards and then lost on downs. Sewanee tried the left end; Rankin tackled hard; the ball fell from the hands of the runner and into the arms of another who ran for a touchdown. The whole team was asleep and Denson and Slocumb allowed him to pass them, the for mer without even moving out of his tracks. Sewanee fails at goal. Score 6-4. Baskerville now aroused by the scoring of Sewanee made a wonder ful kick. The ball was suddenly hurled from the centre of the field squarely between the goal posts to the field beyond. But a goal from a kick off does not count and ball is brought to twenty-five yard line. Sewanee kicked off and by a series of short rushes, Guion by a beauti ful run of thirty yards makes the second touchdown and Baskerville kicked the goal. Score 12-4. Neither side scored during the rest of the half. The playing on both sides was unpardonably slow. After being sufficiently raked by coach and captain during the inter mission, Carolina wakes up some what, but is still slow, and Moore, Denson, Guion, and Stephens each made a touchdown and Baskerville kicked each of the goals, two of which were . exceedingly difficult Score 36-4. During the last ten minutes the team became thoroughly aroused, taking Sewanee entirely of her feet, they easily made two touch-j downs and had the ball on the five yard line. ' ; We cannot understand the slow ness of our men. Why was there such a lack of snap in the playing? Because the game was easily won is not a sufficient cause. It would not do at all to become careless and slow against even the , Freshman class team, should the two play. It is simply unpardonable on the part of Slocumb and Denson especially to allow Sewanee to score. Pugh, 'steady Pugh." who is usually to be found in the most needed place every time, was slow, did not get into plays, and paid little attention to signals. There surely will be an improvement in this on the North ern trip. The Sewanee right end, left guard., atjdJEulW lack-dtloJbeat work for them, while for Carolina Guion and Merritt played a good steady game and Stephens rushed well. Baskerville's fine kicking of goals, some of which were very dif ficult was a great feature of the game. Quite a number of the boys visited Biltmore and Hotel Vanbilder and everyone tried to make their visit as pleasant as possible. The teams lined up as follows: Sewanee. , U. N. C Drew, R. E. Rankin. Owens, R. T. Moore. G. Shepherd, R. G. Collier. Johnson, C. Sharpe. C. Shepherd, L,. G. Guion. Column. I. T. Pugh. Brown, L,. E. Merritt. Blachlock, Q. B. Slocumb Johnston, R. H. B. Denson. Rust, L,. H. B. Stephens. Raine, F. B. Baskerville. The umpire was Mr. Robertson; referee, Capt. Bingham; linesman, Mr. Barnard, captain of the team of '94. The Northern Trip. The 'Varsity team left for their Northern trip on Tuesday. They played Lehigh at South Bethlehem Pa., yesterday; meet Rutgers at New Brunswick, N. J., to-day, and Georgetown at Washington, on Sat urday. The following were car ried: Baskerville, Graham, Ste phens, King, Denson, Stanly, Slo comb, Sharpe, White, Collier, Gui on, Moore, Baird, Pugh, Merritt, Rankin, Gregory, and coach Irvine. They will return on Monday next. - Lehigh 24, North Carolina 6. A telegram from South Bethle hem, Pa., last night! brought .the news Hiat we were defeated in thai plaice, yesterday, by Lehigh. Scon 24 to 6. The message also addec that it was a fine game and no one was hurt. ' ' " V Though this is not so good as some of the most sanguine of us expected,; yet it was a considerable improve-; ment over the 32 to 0, of last year.' And when we consider that Lehigh ranks " among the best . five or, six foot - ball colleges in the, , coun try, we Can well conclude' that we did very well, and take much satis faction from the game And, when our boys put forth every thing thatj was in;them,' and, did all they could, let us 'help, encourage, and " praise them, and give then! a fitting recej tion oH their return. . , .," , OK Times at the University, 7 Some incidents inthe. life of the University eighty years ago can be appreciated by the students of ; to day, ven though the primitive cus tom s. it, m ih'MattwiiAr41ittig of the past. w ' ' The following is taken from Dr. Wm. Hooper's address, "Fifty Tears Since " delivered in 1859. "There being but three teachers in the College (president, professor of languages, and tutor), the Seniors and Juniors had but one recitation per day. For the Juniors , this came at 11 o'clock. After that he 'was free until the next day at the same hour. ' The hardest problem that he had to solve then was, what to do with himself for the' rest of the day. 'Shall he ramble info the country after fruit, or shall ' he go a-fishing, or shall he make up a party and engage a supper in the suburbs at Fan Craig's?' The last resource was often adopted be cause of our hard fare at Commons. Accordingly, a party of some half dozen would go out ' and engage a supper of fried chicken; or chicken pie, biscuit and coffee. It was waited for with extreme impatience, and many yawnings and other symptoms of an aching void. At length, it came upon the table, like the classical ccena of the Romans, about three or four, P. M. The guests sat down, at twenty five cents per head; and if you consider the leanness of our dinners at the Steward's Hall, you will be apt to suspect that the entertainer did not make much by that bargain. ' She (the University) ' dealt out a very scanty allowance to her fami ly, either for body or mind, and treated her sons,, as emigrants mov- ing to our new States treat their horses; she turned. them out at night to pick up what they could. The truth is, her mother, the State, act ed a very unnatural part towards her, and, , soon, after she was born, seemed to take a dislike to her own offspring, and to try to starve it. Do you wish to , know the ordinary bill of fare at the Steward's Hall, fifty years;; ago ? . . Coarse corn bread was the staple, food. At din ner the only.meaj; was a fat middling of bacon, surmounting a pile of cole worts ; i and j the ' first thing after grace was ,said (and sometimes be fore); was ,. for , one. man, by a single horizontal, sweep , of his, knife, to separate the ribs and lean, from the fat, , monopolize ; all the first to him self,, and leavq ,;the' remainder . for his. fellows. At breakfast we had wheat , bread and butter and coffeei Pur supper, was coffee and the cold b,rjeadr,left :frpm dinner, , without butter,, ,, ,:-,. , ,;..;.,"v .K ' (. You ., will ; not wonder, if, -after such a supper, ; most of the students welcomed ; , the approach of night, as beasts of prey, that they might fprttprow every thing eatable , within the compass of one or two miles. Nothing was secure from the devouring tor rent. . Bee-hives, though guarded by a thousand stings, all feathered tenants of the, roost, watermelon and potato patches, roasting ears, etc. , in fine, everthing that could appease hunger, was found missing in the morning." , The State Fair at Releigh, last week, is a monument to the pluck and genius of one of the University alumni. Last year, when the Fair Association was almost on its last legs, Hon. Julian S. Carr, ex '66, of Durham, was elected its president; by his indomitable energy, persever ance, and enthusiasm, and largely by his own efforts, there has just been closed the largest, best, and most successful,' fair ever seen in the State. This achievement is char acteristic of Col. Carr; with the same warmth of , feeling and spirit he supports and be friends his alma mater. The Tar HEEL and the students of the University congratulate our most prominent alumnus on his latest success. The following old 'Varsity men saw the game in Ashville: Alf Barnard,' Bob Bingham, Bailey Lee, DeBerniere Whitaker, Haywood Parker, Thomas, Irvin, "Pete" Murphy, both of the Fergusons Lu ther Reyolds, Smith, Webb. - x U
