IAR oLJ JUo i j V ,J Vol.14. : r DIVERSITY OF MTH CAROLINA, TOE ,0.,'. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. . " ON THE GRIDIRON. A Review of the Football Outlook for Carolina More Men Want ed to Enter the Contest. At present the outlook for the football team is not so promising as many have predicted that it would be at this time of the season. The number of candidates is by far smaller than it has been in former years at this time, and as' a conse quence the coach finds it necessary to play men in positions other than those they are accustomed to play in. Coach Warner in speaking of the schedule said: "It is one of the hardest schedules I have ever seen, and as a consequence it is necessary to have almost two Varsity teams, or in other words, a good substi tute for each position on the team." As may be seen on the field every afternoon, there is an insufficient number of candidates to pick from. In college there are now scores of big heavy, well-developed men, who should show college spirit enough to come out and help Coach Warner produce a winning team for Caro lina. In order to send out a win ning Varsity eleven to represent us on the gridiron, it is necessary to have a good, strong, well trained second team, and to have this the big men in college must come out. There is special need for good quarterbacks. There is at present only one quarterback on theVarsity and unless some more good men come out for this position it will probably be necessary to take some Varsity man from his place in order that he may play quarter in case Sadler is hurt. . So far both teams have been 'handicapped by accidents which have occurred to several of the best men. Gardner's knee is at present giving him a good deal of trouble, while Abernathy's thigh has been bruised up for several days. Tues day afternoon while running through signals, Seagle . had the misfortune of having his nose broken by collid ing with Trailor. Sadler, the quarterback, has been unable I to play for the last week on account of a sprained ankle. Saturday afternoon there was such an insufficient amount of ma terial that the regular afternoon scrimmage work had to be dispens ed with. Under such conditions it is utterly impossible for Coach Warner and Capt. Roberson to de velop a winning team. As yet nei ther Varsity nor scrub team has been picked and now there are good openings for every one who will come out and work. Even if there is not enough college loyalty among the students to bring them out, there are other inducements. Mr. Lemm'ert, the tailor, has offered three fine sweaters to the three scrub men doing the best work dur ing the season, and, moreover, i all those scrubs -who do faithful work during the season will receive a free trip to Norfolk on Thanksgiving day to see the Carolina-Virginia game, the greatest game of the sea4 son for us and for Virginia. j The team belongs to every single; student in college, and if one is un-j able to play he might at least comd out on the side lines during prac- tice time and give a few yells for those who are striving to make a good team. So far a dozen good college yells haven't been given on the side lines this season. Now without interest among the student body and without sufficient mate rial what can we expect? It is now time that we begin to think seriously of our situation, as our first game of the season, which will be played with Davidson Col lege on October 7 in Charlotte, is drawing near. Davidson last year played us a tie game but we feel sure that no such thing will happen one week from Saturday. But if such should happen whose will be the blame? Coach Warner, the captain and the faithful ones are doing all in their power. The students alone thus far, in the fur nishing of recruits and in enthusias tic support, have neglected the building of the team. The following Varsity players of last year are back and are playing for their old positions: Townsend, left end; Seagle, right guard; Sto ry, right tackle; Winborne, half. Capt. Roberson, who played full last year is playing half at present. Some of the others are: Abernathy, playing for left tackle; Gardner for guard; Trailor, guard; Sadler, quarter; Snipes, full; Snipes and Parker, centre; Brown, of Lafay ette, Singletary and Pittman, end. Coach Warner, into whose hands the training of the eleven has been placed, is a Cornell man, having played on the Cornell varsity in 1901 and 1902 and captained the team once. In 1902 he was guard on the All-America, In 1903 he coached Cornell and last year the Sherman Institute Indians, of Col orado, with marked success in both instances. Buncombe County Club. The boys from the "land of the sky" held their first regular meet ing this year. About twenty five old men were present from which the following officers were elected: V.V.Williams, president; E. Connor, vice-president; Hampden Hill, Secretary and Treasurer; com mitte on entertainment, R. R. Rey nolds, J. W. Haynes and 'C. :G. Weaver. This club : holds regular monthly meetings at which several members read papers or make short talks on the different industries; of the county. Buncombe has reason to be be proud of the interest her boys are taking in her development and we see no reason why the boys from other counties should not ior ganize. -A special meeting is to be. held soon at which new members will be enrolled. THE BILL OF FARE. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION MEETS The Lyceum Course of Entertain ments as Arranged by the j Faculty and the Societies. j The Star Lecture 'Jprospects'l are always of interest at this sea-j son. The time honored "football prospects" take precedence of them; of course. But the lecture course in its own way means much to the college and to the village. Chapel Hill differs in several respects from a modern metropolis. The crowd ed theatre with its far-famed stars are not of us; the festive circus no longer wends its way through the wilds of Orange, seeking to educate the natives with its ten great mort al shows combined. Never yet has ever a. modest stoglC compafiy,disi.J covered that., we "are a spot on the map; so the lurid melodrama and the "specialty girls" they, too, are not of us. It is easy to see, therefore, that the lyceum course, breaking in on our life of seclusion, is naturally of some interest. Those who have had unpleasant experiences with lyceum courses and are consequent ly suspicious of them on general principles, wish to know their fate. Others look forward to them with genuine eagerness, while a third class think of them only as a means of getting their money back. That fehe last, idea adds an ele ment of pleasure is beyond all ques tion. The student joins a society, and after having bade his money a fond farewell, flings it, with avert ed face, into the coffer. Then when a month later, after the mat ter has slipped entirely from his memory, he is handed a ticket to an entertainment "free for nothing" why, it's like being president of a life insurance company. What's that?. Suspense? ... Well, just re strain yourself, we're there already. So here goes. The first entertainment will be by Opie Read, the well known au thor", jwho will be here on October 14. The others are: Prof. Chas. Lane, October 20. Otterbein Male Quartette, Jan uary 22. Wendling, who is well remem bered here, February 17. Dr. John P. St. John, March 3. Edwin Brush, March 15. Officers and Editors Elected for Coming Year Other Matters. A large number of students gath ered in Gerrard Hall Friday after noon, 22d, for the annual election of the Athletic Association. In the absence of the president. Mr. Gra ham Kenan, who has not returned to college, the meeting vvas called to order by Vice-President H. M. Emerson. The unanimity with which most of the officers were elected detract ed somewhat from the interest, there being only a few close, con tests. As a result of the election, the following men were chosen: Messrs. J. V. Howard, president 6f the Athletic As ociation; J. R. Moore, vice-pjp-tdent; Holt Hay wood, scretay and treasurer; J. K. WilsOn4X)5, graduate member of the advisor committee; P. E. Sea gle, '06, undergraduate member; V". L. Stephenstfd.'06,editor-in-chief of The Tar Hei5Gv J.-.S. Kerr, '06, J. F. Spruill, '07, H. D'Alem berte, '07, W. D. McLean, '07, M. Orr, '08, associate editors. Ih accordance with the regu lation adopted by the Advisory Committe. last spring making the position of assistant editor-in-chief an appointive one, Mr. S. H. EVr- abee, '07, was selected. Mr. N. A Townsend - was elected business , manager, and he appointed Mr H. L. Sloan as his assistant. Mr. "Bully" Moore was unanimously re-elected, despite his fervid pro testations, to the position of chief cheerer. , Mr. A. H. Bahnson, manager of this fall's football team, then an nounced that Mr. Lemmert, of Bal timore, who has already attested his kindly, interest in the University and especially in the athletic phase of our life, had. favored us with an other gift. Realizing the prime importance of a strong second team, the sacrifice made by each member of it and the value of any incentive to 1 increased effort, Mr. Lem inert offers three sweaters to those three men on the second team who make the most progress between now and the Thanksgiving game. Coach Warner and Captain Roberson are the judges. ,' Press Association Notes. The Press Association held a meeting recently and organized for the coming year. Plans for the year's work were submitted by the dozen or more present. This asso ciation is probably the only one of its kind in the Southern States. Certainly it is a great help to the newspaper men on the Hill, who not only help themselves but in turn are helped by them. The of ficers elected were: John A. Parker, president. R. R. Reynolds, vice-president. . H. Perry, secretary. S.'H. Farabee, treasurer. '07 Election. The Juniors met Wednesday ( af ternoon and elected the following officers: . . E. C. Herring, president. G. F.

Hutchison, statistician. O. L. Hardin, prophet. Captain of foot ball team, A. T. Morrison. Manager of football team Hamp den Hill. t .
