m ' m 1AH iUo Vol. 12, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C. THURSDAY, FEBUARY 25. 1 904. No. 19. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. TH II II II 1 1 A ll THE PASSING OF COUNCIL. ments and seductive wiles of the The Hero Unaccountably Disap pears from Virginia and Seeks Another Clime Charlottesville, Va., Feb. 17. Somewhat of a stir was created in athletic circles at the University of Virginia at the opening of the pre sent session when Karl C. Pritch ard, of Hunting-ton, W. Va., for merly of Lafayette College, Pa., and one of the star college pitchers of the country, suddenly withdrew from college and left for Philadel phia to enter a medical school in that city. Now comes another loss to Virginia athletics, even more se vere Walter W. Council, acknowl edged to be the best all-round foot ball player in the South, and alike proficient in base-ball, has suddenly taken French leave and gone to parts unknown. His associates in college are puzzled at' his departure and are at a loss to assign any cause for his sudden leave-taking. His baggage was at the depot and he was in the act of purchasing his ticket. bef ore any of his fellow stu dents became aware of his inten tions. When last heard from he was in Palm Beach, Fla. Council had made nearly all of his tickets, and would have easily graduated in medicine next session. He was an unusually good student, despite his active participation in every form of athletics. Council came to Virginia from the University of North Carolina in the fall of 1901, and played on both foot-ball and base-ball teams of that and the succeeding sessions. His record on the gridiron during the past season was such a brilliant one that he was unanimously chosen captain of the 1904 eleven. On ac count of his father's objection to foot-ball, his selection to the cap taincy of the team was never made public, in the hope that parental ob jection would be withdrawn before the season rolled round. Some trouble in this connection is believed to be the reason for his wichdrawal from the University. Mr. Council's father is a wealthy lumber dealer and merchant of Wa nanish, N. C. Richmond Times Dispatch. Alas for the passing of old"Bull." How often has thy name been ap pended to nine 'rahs from countless exultant throats on many a tramp ed field! How often in a critical moment has thy burly form been upreared and hurled into an oppon ent's line with a rattling crash while the side-lines resounded with ' the echo, 'Council, Council, Coun cil!" How long has thy name been a terror and thy mighty muscles j contemplated with awe! But now C gone is thy glory and thy fame van athletic directors belonging to Car olina's ancient rival; he deserted bag and baggage to the ranks of the enemy. But the fast and furi ous life of U. Va. was not suited to the placid temperament of Council. Amid the flowing of the bowl and th 2 sounds of revelry, he began to sigh for the plain flesh-pots and cornbread of the good Old North State. His athletic fame did not expand as was expected. His old comrades had an exasperating way of developing surprising strength at the same time least expected and shoving old Bull clean off both diamond and gridiron. This was not what he had come to Virginia for; so silently and swiftly, even as a thief in the night, Bull packed his duds of blue and" orange, and pur chased for himself a ticket to Palm Beach, Fla. Perhaps even now on some desolate coast by the sad sea waves sits the fallen hero, gazing far into the distance. At his feet the wavelets lap monotonously; over head the sea-gull croaks in mourn ful fa.-hion while the sea-breeze whispers plaintively among his tan gled locks. Before the eyes of the late lamented swims a misty blue cloud and on it inscribed in letters of spotless white : "Carolina - six teen, Virginia - nothing;" and the wild waves answer, "Nothing!" Fresh Medals Awarded by '06. The following medals were awarded, with appropriate cere monies, to the representative mem bers of the Fresh class, at 12 o'clock on the night of the 22nd. The fact that no more were award ed was not at all due to a lack of material in the Freshman class and it is hoped that none feel slighted. Lord High Proprietor of the Campus, Mowen.

Mr. Horsefield, of Golds boro, preached a very pleasing ser mon last Sunday evening in the col lege, Chapel. His text was from Matthew, 12:20, "And smoking flax shall he not quench. The speaker compared man's spiritual life to the wick in a burning lamp. "The wick sometimes becomes clogged and burns low, when it is cleaned up grows brighter and brighter until it shines clearly. Just so when man's spiritual lamp burns low the Lord does not quench it, but guards and cares for it. . "All round us is destruction. Out of the struggle of life comes the survival of the fittest. This is true in the animal life and in the busy life of man. A cruel and piti less lesson it is. Then there is the struggle for mastery. Man is never satisfied. He wins high place and to that degree he is mas ter of his life. "God stands by the weak. He uses tenderness instead of power, love instead of cruel y, and instead of the survival of ;he fittest the Master raises up the we;ik. He re awakens the melody of real man hood and spiritual power. We let impure desires and worldly cares clog andlim our light. "All things begin small, so (hies faith, but sometimes we let our in tellect interfere and our faith grows weaker. Man has this liirht in him. and the love of God saves and fills him with light and life. As this weak light in man is made to grow, he becomes a new creature in Christ. "Many face Christianity at a wrong angle. A Christian is not artificial. He is a normal man. He is right with the 'world. He has all the beautv and power and dignity of manhood. The Master makes his life grow brighter and purer. A canner exceedingly canny, One morning remarked to his granny, If a canner can can Anything that he can, Then a canner can't can a can can he?
