11. Mi Vol. 14; UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA; CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1905. ). 2. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, THE ( FOOTBALL SITUATION. Injured Players Recovering A Nervy Scrub Team GIvinK the Varsity Some Lively Scrim mages. The effects of the mass meeting which was held Friday night in in ducing1 new candidates to put on uniforms and try for the football team were not long- in making them selves fp.lt. . Monday and' Tuesday afternoons forty or fifty men were on the gridiron and at one time three teams were busily engaged in practicing signals and new forma tion plays. This week the coach has given several new plays and evidently they are- ground gainers, tor both teams have used them to good ad vantage. Never before have the scrub and Varsity elevens been so evenly matched. At present there is vim and interest from beginning to end.. The scrubs show a nervy persistence in their attempts to score against the Varsity, but as yet they have not been successful. More ' than once, however, they have come dangerously near success. In Tuesday's game the Varsity had a hard time crossing the scrubs' goal line, but finally by hard line plunges the pig skin was carried across. With such an excellent coach and such a nervy scrub team we feel confident that Carolina will send out a winning eleven c.f which we will be justly proud. The students on the sidelines, with' the assistance of the college band, have aided materially in put ting life into the practice games. With a crowd of supporters filling the air alternately with "Yackety Yacks" and cheers for the scrubs, with a band on the bleachers dis coursing inspiring music, one can't help but play his best. The pres ence of whole-hearted and noisy throated backing has' won games without number. The absence of such support in equally as many cases has meant defeat. The men who were injured and caused the loss of three days of scrimmage work are now rapidly getting into good condition and are able to play in their old positions. Seagle's nose is about well and Sadler is again playing his position at quarter. Trailor,' however, had his ankle badly wrenched in Tues day afternoon's game and is now confined to the infirmary. Just at present the leading topic of discussion is the Davidson-Carolina 'game in " Charlotte Saturday. It is rumored that the Davidson eleven and its many supporters con fidently expect to defeat Carolina, but that remains to be seen. Of course we fully expect to win, but not by a very large score. This year; it is reported, -the 'Davidson eleven is stronger than ever before and with some of our men in a crip pled condition we can hardly ex pect to run over them. THE CHEMICAL LABORATORY, f A Magnificent Structure Which Will Be an Ornament to the Campus. I Last spring the State Legislature appropriated $50,000 for the erec tion of a chemical laboratory on the University campus. Work was be gun on the building immediately after commencement and has pro ceeded as rapidly as circumstances permitted ever since. It is hoped that it will be completed in Decem ber, so that it can be equipped dur ing the Christinas recess. ! The need for the building; had been felt for so long that it was de termined that when an appropria tion was secured a building ample for all necessary purposes should be erected. Dr. Venable told the legislative committee that not one cent less than $50,000 would; be ac cepted; that to build a less costly laboratory would only entail greater loss in the future. The fact that he carried his point, if nothing else, justifies bis position. Only $45,000 of the amount, appropriated is to be used in the construction and equip ment of the new building, the re maining $5,000 to be spent in the equipping of the old laboratory for the department of biology or of medicine. The department of biol ogy decided to remain in their pres ent quarters in the New East build ing so the old laboratory will be occupied by the department of med icine. Part of the $5,000 will be spent in improving the present quar ters of the biological department. ; The new building is located in the northeastern part of the cam pus, in the rear of the Alumni and Old East. It is to consist of two stories, and will contain abundant room for all the chemical students now in college with liberal allow ance made for increased numbers in the future. It will be lighted, of course, by electricity, heated by the central heating system and will possess a thoroughly modern equip ment. The need for a lecture room for the large classes, which was so keenly felt before, will be provided for by a spacious auditorium in the rear. The building is constructed of pressed brick and when completed, in the opinion of experts, will be by far the handsomest building on the University campus. j ATHLETIC MASS MEETING. First Year Med. Off leers. The first year Medical class has; elected the following officers: Spitball Sitton, president. Royall, vice president. McCain, secretary. Adams, treasurer. Dunlap, chaplain. Shipp, coroner. , ... Schromwald, poet. Thompson, historian. Coach Warner and Mr. R. S. Stewart paid a visit to Durham Wednesday of last. week. . A Gathering to Discuss iThe Foot- ball Situation And Arouse En : . thusiasm Succeeds in Doing . I ' . Both. !; ,' With the baud f playing, a great fire blazing, and -hundreds yelling, manv students marched into the Chapel Friday night. The, occa sion was a mass meeting- the first of the season and- although many of the new men were a little warv of mass meetings, still an enormous crowd turned out. i The object of the gathering was, as President Howard, said, to stir up enthusiasm and spirit among the students to support the team. both with new men on the field ? and the cheerers on the lines. Mr. How ard's remarks were followed by a good talk from ex-Capt. i Stewart, who urged upon the students the ne cessity of supporting the team. "Go out there on the field, you big men, and if you can take any man's job, why, do it. , The team is not made . j Coach f Warner also said a few words along the same lines as did Mr. Stewart. He said that he was told by people up north that he would find the men down here rather light but with sand in their gizzards. He came down here and was surprised to find such promis ing candidates. And then accidents came doubly, and laid . out a number of men, and something must be done to strengthen the team. Un less heavy men show up at practice the chance for a successful team here is very slight. v ; Mr. Gardner addressed the stu dents too. He did not want to butt in, ; he said, except to say a few things to those - present. He in dulged in a-few; 5 pleasantries in which ex-Capt:' Stewart figured largely, and made a good talk.Mr. Gardner declared, amidi! great' ap plause; that he and Messrs. : Sadler and Abernethy were not here mere ly to play football. They were students and their work at the end of the year would verify his state ment, v. He said they had finished at A. and M. and then; had cast their lot with the University. Mr. Gard ner also explained that, the eyes of the whole State were centered upon the University, footbalh ?team.M He was greatly applauded. Mr. J. K. Wilson and Prof.. Htr- ty each spoke at. the1 meeting. Mr. Herty, who is the; new professor of Chemistry, ,mad:a good impression upon the gathering. His reputa tion for encouraging? athletics had preceded him to the University and his presence . Friday night ; proved his devotion beyond a doubt. ; The practicability of running an excursion to Raleigh was discussed, and almost the entire body voted its intention to go. So also in regard to an excursion to Norfolk. The effect, of this meeting was made evident Saturday, when a fair crowd of big men were out1 'on the field. . ' ! I Football Notes. ... Gleaned From The' Washington Post. George' Foster Sattford; ' who ' cpached Virginia last year; has ta ken charge of the Yale candidates. Pennsylvania's squad numbers forty-four, just enough for four e evens. Pennsy's coaches say this year's crop of candidates for the football eleven is, the finest in the history of the school. ,' Yale backs' are said to be the swiftest and most powerful line hitters that have represented Eli in years. , The team promises to be especially fleet of foot. All the men, however, are light, not a 200 pounder among the candidates. Mike Murphey is said to have discovered a Japanese student at, Pennsylvania who can play football , and who is an expert at jiu-jitsu. A rare combination and one that ! should make trouble tor an oppo- ' s nsr team. Hurry Up Yost is directing the coaching of the Vanderbilt squad in 1 f Nashville,' Tenn.', and- a ; crowd of H 11000 spectators; is congregating'" dbi ly to listen to s the two words? ! tjiat have done so much to make Yost famous. Amos Foster, a western prophet5 is the first man to pick Harvard as ; 1 ai winner over x ale. tie 1 is coach of the Cincinnati University team ' ' and has made a careful study of the" football situation in the East. , An exchange gives the following " list as among the candidates for the (jlarlisle team: Scouchuk, Man( Who Forgets, Eaele ' Man Wahoo, ' Brave Thunder, Little Old' Man," Iia Roque, Miquel Tomahawk," Two-Dogs-in-the-Snow, Chestnut- ' bu-the-Fire, Pabawena and Pecon- How's that for a line-up? ' i ga Our Opponents. ! College Topics, Virginia's semi J weekly, has the following on the football situation. Three of the" teams j mentioned5 will be met by ' Carolina "this fall. Some of the'4 players mentioned are well remem- ' : bered here. ' j "Virginia has1 some able oppo-u nents this year- in Carolina, V. P.; I.,' the Navy, Georgetown, Buck-1' nell and'the Indians. Carolina is sure to put up a great fight for -Southern' honors. Blacksburg has'! imported several old players, among ; ' them Carpenter. She will also have Bear from Carolina. . - Vir ginia's withdrawal from the State association enables V. P. I. as well ., as 1 herself to disregard the four, year limit and from the present out look it seems that V. P. I. is reap-n ing the benefit of the arrangement. Both the Navy and the Indians are reported strong.; The Indians will, have their entire last year's team ? back again. Georgetown is pre paring. to open up her coffers and t produce a hustling team." Topics says that while the -squad is promising in numbers, weight is , badly needed.
