(P V r JUo AR 1 THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Vol. 10. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, September, 26, 1901. " No. i : : ; : : i : ; ; ATHLETICS. Football Prospects Candidates, Both Old and New. For the past several afternoons the men who are candidates for. the football team this fall have been out on the field going through some light exercise and getting in some preliminary practice. Counting both the oid men and the new ones,, there are about fortv candidates for the Varsity. This is an extremely gratifying number at the very beginning and from this material, no doubt a winning team can' be chosen. Mr, Frank Bennett of last year's team, who had been elected captain for this fall, did not return to college, hence the appoint ment of another captain was neces- " sary. . - The advisory committee have been very wise in their appointment of Council,; who is now captain pro tein. He was a star player on last year's strong eleven and one of the hps t- all-round athletics ever at tne University,. Carolina will greatly miss many of the brilliant players of the last few years who have done so much to make our remarkable successes ever nearly all the Southern foot ball team. Graves is now at Wes,t Point, a cadet there -at the Academy. Ben nett, Rankin, McRae, Osborne, Old ham, and others have not returned this year, Smathers. is back but will be unable to play during the earlv part of the season. Brem is likewise in bad condition not be able to come out time. .'Donnelly is here, not play this season. Makely, Council, Foust, Barke ry, Car, Graves, L vOrr, and Stew art of last year's Varsity ;md Scrubs ate again on the field and they are working hard. Several of the best men in the different class teams are now candidates for-the Varsity and quite an encouraging number of the ngw students have reported for worAmong the new men there are five or six verv good football Jplayers and under proper training .they, will early be developed. All are entering into the work very en thusiastically, with the determina tion to turn out a winning team, if possible. ? Next week a complete list of all the candidates will be published and right here let us say, that it is the" duty of .every man that possibly can to go out on the field and do the best work he is capable of doing. The team is always made up of the best men, regardless of what class they belong to or what year they enter. . The attendance of students at practice so far has been very good. This is right, but the specta tors should not crowd around the teams when they are lined-up, as they get in the way and may possi bly prevent a run, or interfere with a play. ' - Mr. Tondensteinin, the efficient and will for some but will Gymnasium Instructor, has had charge of the men during the past week. He has practiced them in kicking:, catching, passing, and fall ing on the ball and has put them through a little light scrimmage work, ending each afternoon with lining up the players for about five minutes. The new coach will arrive the first of the present week. He is Mr. Chas. O. Jenkins, a man prominent in tnc atnietic lire or i aie. i his is the first time in all our history that Yale tactic: will be used and much good is expected from, the change. The first game is scheduled for October 12, , and will be played against Oak Ridge Institute. A tentative schedule for the season Will be published in a few days. Memorial Exercises. Advisory Committee Meeting. Immediately after the meeting of the General Athletic Association last Tuesday the Advisory Com miUee met. at the call ot Dr. Bask- erville. in the; chemical lecture room.. The first business was the selection of4 a temporary captain of the foothill team and Mr. Councill was chosen for the place. Mr. Whitehead then announced his ap pointment of Mr. Will Carr as as sistant .manager of the football team which was approved by the committee. The next business was the election of a manager of the baseball team. Mr. George Gra ham was elected. It was found upon inquiry that both the captain and manager of the track team were elected last vear, Messrs. Ramsay and Thorpe, respectively. The question of the wearing of Varsitv sweater which was dis- cussed ana unanimously decided u pon by last year s committee was again brought up wi th the same re sult. , It seems that every, season in games on the home grounds a good many men are put in as substitutes either on trial or when several men are disabled, and hat some of these men afterward stop playing or prove themselves entirely unworthy of a place on the team, but from the technical fact of having played in a match game claim the privilege of wearing the Varsity sweater. The committee therefore rule that sciousness before his death, were: "This is God's way, God's will be done!" Dr. Jones held up the Christian character of our dead President for the imitation of young men and ex pressed the hope that his able suc- ti.33ui iiiiiib iiuiLo.Lt: uia uuuic ca- ample. Mr. Whitehead Kluttz, following Dr. Jones, said; We are assem bled here to honor the memory of an American President, and states man, to share the sorrow that has represented theh0uched the heart of a nation P" Jones I ' evince our nacreu ot a colossal crime. "It seems tome fitting," con tinued Mr. Kluttz, "upon this oc casion to remark upon the death of public men in general; to speak of the dead Presidsnt as public man Out of respect to the memory of Pres. McKinley exercises were held in Gerrard Hall Monday, 16th inst. The Chapel was filled to overflow ing, faculty, students and the eiti zens of the town participating in the meeting. Resolutions of re spect, drawn up by members of the faculty, composed of Judge McRae andODrs. Hume and Battle, were read. Er. J. William Jones then spoke in behalt of the citizens of the town and Mr. White head Kluttz professional schools.
