The University
Again Victorious.
Defeats Davidson by a Score of
6 to 0.
The University team left for
Charlotte, Friday, where, 011 the
following day the team from David
son college was played. This is the
first game of the season, that the
team has played on other than the
home grounds, and the score shows
how well they acquitted themselves
when away from home. The day
was fine for a game and the specta
taiors were many and enthusiastic.
Under such favorable conditions the
game as reported by the Charlotte
Observer was never slow or uninter
esting and its cleanness was note
worthy and commendable. It was
however, devoid of any sensational
plays. The lineup of the two teams
was as follows:
University. Orr, center; Meller,
left guard; Bretn, right guard;
Council, right tackle; Cox. right
end; Bass, left end; Graves, quarter
back; Carr, left half; Mekely, right
half; Holt, full back. Jacoks and
King were substituted on account o I
injuries received by Foust and
Brem. '
Davidson. McKinnon, left end;
Rowe, left tackle; Taylor, left
guard; Mann, center; Fetzer, right
guard; McFayden, left tackle;
Caldwell, captain, right end; Kirk
patrick, quarter back; J. A. Wy
tnen, left half; Fitzpatrick, right
half; McLelland, full back.
The game was called at 4 o'clock
and before this time the ropes sur
rounding the gridiron were lined
with spectators anxiously awaiting
the Riomal to start the olav. The
rooters of the two teams seemed to
be about evenly divided and espe
cially flattering was it to notice, that
so many of the young people were
enthusiastic supporters of the Uni
versitv eleven. It is to be regretted
J H
however, that the rush beyond the
side lines was very demoralizing to
the players and often prevented
them from making big gains when
an opportunity was presented.
In the first half neither team
scored, as expressed by the coach,
thov rested for the second round.
The sphere remained near the cen
ter of the field most of the time,
but always in Davidson's territory.
In the last half the game wns a lit
tle more snappy and interesting.
The University men were unable to
make gains of any consequence
aronnd the opposing team's end, but
by steady line bucking carried the
ball down the field and sent Makely
over the line for a touch down. On
the second lineup in the second half
Carolina again carried the ball down
the field byline bucking aud were
on Davidson's ten yard line when
time was called.
The following taken from the
Chnrlnt.lt Observer gives the
Imnresainn nf an outsider:
Both teams played strong, ag
gressive ball, and the tackling was
quick and usually g. od. The play
ing- was never slow or uninteresting
and the cleanness of t ie game was
noteworthy and commendable. The
fact that both teams will seriously
consider the unnecessary amount of
fumbling in the game is a criticism
and a hint that may be of future
service.
The University team work and
interference showed the result of
careful coaching. ExcJieut play
ing was done by Carr and Jacocks,
the two halves: by Graves, a beau
tiful quarter back; by Captain
Council, the right tackle, a heady
brilliant player; and by boust, the
left tackle.
"For Davidson Kirkpatrick, at
center was in excellent form; show
ing fine judgment and made very
few errors. Kirkpatrick s kicking
was a decided feature of the David
son work. Caldwell at left end and
McKinnon at right were superior.
Wvman proved himself the equal of
any half back ever seen on the grid
iron here. Fetzer and Rowe also
deserve special mention tor good
work.

Fresh, vs Sophs.
The game to decide whether the
Soph, or Fresh, team should play
Bingham at Mebane last Saturday
was called Friday at five P. M.
The teams were almost equal in
strength before the loss of Bass and
Jacocks from Sophs, to the Varsity
and the addition of the scrubs, Rob
erson and Hester, to the Freshmen.
With these changes and Smathers
to coach them the Freshmen made
a decidedly better show. There
was no score. This was due to the
Freshmen losing about 30 yards in
off-side plays and the inability of
the Sophomores to gain over the su
perior weight of the Freshmen.
With the Freshmen defending
East goal Peace kicked the ball
well into their territory where the
Sophs, kept them until forced to
kick. The Sophs, then bucked the
line for no gain and were forced to
kick. The first half thus proceeded,
not varying the order, with no score.
Roberson kicked off for Fresh
men with Sophs, defending East
goal in the second, which was prac
tically a repetition of first halt.
The game ended with no score.
The features of the game were
Irwin's end runs for the Sophs,
and Hester's numerous breaks in
Soph, line for the Freshmen.
By agreement ot teams before en
tering the game the Freshmen won
the chance to play Bingham.

The Historical Society met in the
Chapel Monday evening, Oct. 21,
at 7:30. Papers were read by Dr.
Battle and Mr. Stern. Prof. Raper
was elected vice-president and Prof.
Noble, treasurer of the society,
j Mr Stern read an interesting pa
per on the Impeachment of Wm.
Blount. It was gathered from this
paper that Senator Blount's trouble
grew out of a certain letter which
he had written to James Carey, an
interpreter to the Cherokee Indians"
This took place during the trouble
between the United States and
Spain over the southwestern boun
dary question. This boundary
question was made the subject of a
special message to Congress by
President Adams on July 3rd, 1797.
This letter from Blount was among
the documents communicated. In
this letter Blouut asked Carey's as
sistance in uniting Cherokees and
Creeks for some purpose not defi
nitely stated. The plan seemed to
be for Carey to destroy the influence
of the government agent with the
indians while Blount at the head of a
force of British regulars and Ten
nessee backwoodsmen attacked the
Spaniards. In addition to this tet
ter, the English ambassador Mr.
Leston stated that someone had pro
posed such a plan to him.
The House on receipt of the mes
sage went into executive session
and a committee was appointed to
investigate the Blount affair.
The committee reported that Wm.
Blount, a senator from Tenn. be im
peached of high crimes and misde
meanors. It was moved and car
ried that a member of the House go
to the Senate and impeach Blount
at the bar of the House, requesting
that Blount be deprived of his seat.
Blount was at once placed under a
bond of $50,000.
The investigating committee of
the Senate recommended that Blount
be expelled. Blount refused to de
ny or affirm the authenticity of the
letter. At his request Blount was
assigned counsel. His counsel con
tended that it was not right for the
Senate to pass judgment on Blount
before the impeachment, that pun
ishment should not precede the trial,
that Blount could not be expelled
until found guilty of the charges.
After much discussion the motion
to expel was carried. A few days
after Congress convened in Dec,
the articles of impeachment were
reported to the House. These were
based entirely on Blount's letter to
Cary. When the case came up in
the Senate the counsel for Blount
contended that the Senate had no
jurisdiction as a senator was not a
civil officer and that by the Consti
tution these alone could be impeach
ed and that as Blount had been ex
pelled by the Senate he was no
longer triable by it. Managers for
the House said that the plea of the
counsel for Blount was not suffi
cient for dismissal of the case. Ar
gument continued for two days
when the Senate decided by a vote
of fourteen to eleven that the
Senate's jurisdiction terminated
with expulsion.
Dr. Battle read a paper on the
Great Seal of the State. He stated
that the first Great Seal was sent
by the king of England to Gov
ernor Tyron in 1767, We have fol
lowed up the design of this old seal
all along. In 1777 Hooper, Hughes
and Burke were appointed as a com
mittee to prepare a Great Seal of
the State. This seal was destroyed
in 1794 and another was made. In
1893 Judge Clarke suggested that
the Latin phrase ease qnam vidcri
be placed on thi seal.
The Freshmen Defeat BlnRhum 21
to 0.
The Freshmen by a victory over
the Sophs, on Friday gained the
privilege of playing Bingham at
Mebane on Saturday. They went
over and, as in most other contests
engaged in this fall, Were entirely
successful. Below is an account as
reported by one of the spectators.
"The game was exciting from be
ginning to end. The Bingham men
were heavier and stronger to a man
but the Freshmen balanced this by
their fast, snappy team work.
"The Freshmen kicked off and
after three rushes secured the ball.
After this only a few end runs put
the leather beyond Bingham's goal
line.
"Alter the first touchdown Bing
ham lost hope and played on the de
fensive entirely. Fumbling was a
marked feature of Bingham's game.
"For the Freshmen, Hill, Town
send, and Robinson made fine end
runs, Meares blocked beautifully and
punted well. Emerson, the star,
showed fine executive ability and
passed the ball perfectly.
The final score was, Fresh. 21,
Bingham 0.
