While we have continuallj before us
our revenge on next Thanksgiving; day
do not let us forget that down in old
Georgia we have an old score to wipe
out. Georgia 22, Carolina 16, is the
way it now stands. But it must be
changed.
Manager Kluttz is trying to at
range games with Davidson College
and Clemson. We had a good
game last 3'ear with Clemson.
They have a stronger team this
season and we would like to try
their strength. . We can also feel
a little of Georgia's strength as
they play Clemson. Let's have
these two games, the student body
is interested in them.
We publish in another column an
article, "A serious situation." We
hope that all editors of any college
publication will read it and take no
tice. Private talks with the editors
has done no good. Will not this
public appeal urge them to their
dutv?
We recognize the fact that the cent
er of our athletic life lies in our foot
ball and base ball teams. But this is
no reason why other phases of athlet
es should be neglected. Why have
we no tennis teams, or golf teams?
There is interest enough in these
and other sports, but why have we no
organized efforts to develop these
games. We have an Athletic Advisory
Committee who work with untiring
zeal and energy in behalf of the base
ball and foot ball teams. But we
think that if this committee would also
pay some attention to these other
sports there would be more effort on
the part of the students to develop
them. We respectfully call their at
tention to this and request them to
consider whether or not any thing can
be done for these games.
There has been much enthusiasm a
roused among the students over the '98
foot ball team. We have a good
coach, good material, a good sched
ule and every thing that points to a
winning team.
Hoop 'em up fellows!
Let us keep before our minds from
now. till Thanksgiving Day these four
things which are essential to the suc
cess of our foot bail team:
1 st. Determination to win.
2nd. Thorough-hgoing team work.
3rd. Dogged persistence. .
4th. Self-sacrifice and unselfish de
votion to the team's success.
We saw in '95 what the first can do,
when on the field in Richmond North
Carolina's superior team full of con
fidence, was defeated by Virginia's
team full of determination. We saw in
our last year's team what the other
three essentials can do. With a team
light and bruised from playing heav
ier teams all the year, they went to
Richmond and by their thorough go
ing team work, their dogged persist
ence, never giving up, and their noble
self sacrifice, they held down their
heavier and stronger opponents to two
goals while for the greater part of the
game the ball was in Virginia's ter
ritory. So let us start out at the first of this
season with these four qualities ever
before us and victory will come.-
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew
Convention at Baltimore.
A trip to Baltimore, to one who
is accustomed to travelling and who
has seen our larger cities, may
seem like a, very ordinary thing;
but to one who has travelled but
little and has seen few towns larger
than Chapel Hill, it is a veritable
treat. The trip up the Bay, espec
tally on a clear moonlight night, is
charming beyond description. In
Baltimore, too, a city of over half
a million population, one finds some
thing new and interesting at almost
every turn.
The occasion of my visit to Balti
more was to attend the National
Brotherhood of St. Andrew Con
vention, which met there last week.
Words of mine cannot begin to de
scribe that meeting of earnest Chris
tian men, as I saw it and felt it. I
can onlj? say it was great. There
were 1250 deligates in attendance,
representing almost every state in
the union and several foreign mis
sionary fields. Many of them "were
bishops, and some of the ablest men
in the America church.
The programme was an excellent
one, and every address was full of
plain practical truth. One of them
especially that would have interes
ted every reader of the Tar Heel,
was delivered by the Rev. Endi
cott Pea body, head master of the
Groton School (near Boston) on
"The Brotherhood Men of the Fu
ture." He laid special emphasis on
the importance of athletics in the
better development and training
of Christian character in boys. The
first element in a boy's life, he said,
is self control, and athlectics, par
ticularly football, is good for that.
It necessitates perfect control of
the mind and the temper as well as
the body, and brings out some of
the finest qualities of manhood. It
brings about a certain simplicity in
life, that is helpful. The athlete
must leave off luxury, and live simp
ly and eat simply. He must leave
off injurious practices and cultivate
hardship and endurance. He must
learn obedience must obey or get
off the team. Furthermore, he
said, it supplied an element of good
conversation. Conquest, and victory
is a healthy, elevating and inspiring
topic of conversation, not only for
the athletes themselves, but also
for everybody interested in athletic
contests.
Rev. Thomas E. Winecoff, form
erly rector of the Episcopal church
here, also delivered a very able ad
dress on the same subject. Both
these addresses made a deep im
pression on the convention, and they
were complimented on every side.
The time between the sessions o
the convention I spent sight-seeing
One evening I attended service a'
the Jewish Synagogue, and saw, to
my surprise, the men sitting ii
church with their hats on, and read
ing as unconcerned as if they had
been in a hotel lobby. It was also
my pleasure to hear Cardinal Gib
bons at the Roman Catholic Cathe
dral. The service there was as
strange as it was at the Jewish
Synagogue, but on the opposite ex
treme. Many other places, such
as Johns Hopkins University, and
Johns Hopkins Hospital were of
unusual interest to me, but time
will not permit me to mention them
here.
One of the pleasantest features
of my trip was a visit to Western
Maryland College, a few miles out
from Baltimore. I cannot pay too
high a tribute to this institution,
for I was deeolv impressed with
1 J A
the courtesy and hospitality of both
faculty and students; the purity of
its athletics : and the hiirh moral
tone of the whole student body,
Nearly every one of its 300 student
is an active member either of the
Y. M. C. A., or the Y. W. C. A.,
although membership in these asso-
ciations is entirely voluntary. 1 his
ought to be an object lesson to us,
and serve as a stimulus to urge us
to higher and better work in the Y.
M. C. A. here.
It will doubtless be interesting to
the members of our Senior Class es
pecially, to know that their English
teacher, Prof. Wills, is now a mem
ber of the faculty at W. M. C, and
is sustaining his reputation both as
a scholar and a teacher.
After one day's stay in Washing
ton city, I directed my step? to
ward old U. N. C, which I reached
without any special incident.
Now comes the tug of war.
"Special" examinations and numer
ous hours of weary work on back
lessons stare me in the face, but all
that is a small matter when con
trasted with the vast amount of
pleasures afforded me by my e'ght
days' absence. W. E. C.
A Serious Situation.
From the editor-in-chief of every
student publication in the University
comes complaint of the failure of the
editors to do their part of the work.
Its the cry of the Editor-in-chief of
the Magazine, of the college annual,
and of the collegeweekly. And it is
not an idle complaint. The Editorsr
in-chief find it an extremely unpleasant
duty to keep urging the editors to do
their duty. The men on these edi
torial staffs know that when they ac
cept their positions, they accept a re
sponsibility. Do not think that you
were elected an editor in order to honor
the publication. 'Tis not so. You
flatter yourself. You are elected to
work and if you haven't the time to do
the work, then get out,, and let some
body take your place who will do it.
And it is not only a question of doing
the work but also doing it in time.
It is no use writing an, article for the
the Tar Hekl or Magazine after the
type is set up or handing in an article
when it is too late to get it in. You
might as well not have written it.
The Editor-in-Chief of the Maga
zine says that up to date he has re
ceived one article from his staff.
Think of it editors. One article and
a month has passed and it is time for
the first issue of the Magazine. Do
you think that one article will make
up the issue? Do you not know that
when you fail to do your part you are
guilty of shirking duty? There are
others in college who would like to
hold your position and do the work.
You have no right to keep them out if
you are not going to do it. Besides
the work that falls to the Editors-in-chief,
you force them to the unplea
sant and disagreeable duty to be al
ways complaining.
This is serious. The success of these
publications is in your hands not those
of the Editors-in chief, aud you alone
are responsible if they fall below the
standard. Now reflect upon this and
resolve in the future to do your duty
and do it in time.
"Smunk" McKee is coaching the
A. & M. foot ball team. "Smunk's"
team will play us Saturday and
we'll have a chance to see what
sort of stuff "Smunk" has got.
