TT a Tl IH H H H Vol. 14, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1905. No. 3. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. AR DAVIDSON DEFEATED. The Mecklenburg Boys are Shut Out in an Interesting Game at Charlotte. Carolina defeated Davidson at Charlotte last Saturday afternoon by a score of 6 to 0. It was the first game of the season for both teams and this fact lent an added interest to the contest. The Davidson team came down backed by supporters 300 strong and Davidson rooters soon o'erran the town. The Obser ver savs "Chanel Hill (why will they call us Chapel Hill?) did not make much of a showing on the streets, but eleven strong-, husky chaps, with powerful limbs and well knitted muscles, lay in wait at the Central Hotel. The Davidson a . t t rooters seemed excited ana ner vous." At the appointed hour more than 1,000 interested people were on the sidewalks. The following account of the game, the only avail able one, is from the columns of the Observer. The game was called at 3:45 by time keepers Dr. J. P. Monroe and Col. Walter Murphey. Drs. Bax ter S. Moore and Brodie C. Nalle were the referees. Davidson took the ball and the southside of the .field. As the game commenced the crowd, about 1,000 strong, cir cled closer and began to break across the ropes. The spectators were enthusiastic from the very be ginning. Davidson rooters were ev erywhere and very demonstrative. As the game progressed the crowd circled closer. Davidson kicked off and put the ball in motion. It was caugh t on the 20-yard line. In the first or second mix up Parks McKay was knocked out for a moment or two. The ball remained with Carolina, but the Davidson boys kept it close to where it started. The Varsity team kicked the pigskin from be hind the line and the Presbyterians carried it back. Carolina got the ball on the 47-yard line, and Aber nethy made a drive for 12 yards. The ball was lost to Davidson on her 30-yard line. Lacey started for a run around the left end, but Sad ler tackled him after he had gained about 17 yards. Davidson bucked the centre, but to no purpose. Two yards were made around the left end. The Presbyterians resorted to a kick; Sadler caught, the ball and carried it back 25 yards around the left end. Roberson took the ball for a 5 yard gain, and Aber nethy followed to the same effect. Roberson made L5 yards around the left. Abernethy hit the center for four yards, and Roberson followed with seven. Sadler tried the cen ter, but failed to make a gain. Car- olina was offside, and went back five yards. Carolina kicked and Lacy caught the ball, but Single tary made a brilliant run and landed right on top of him, be fore he could move out of his tracks Davidson kicked and Sadler caught and carried the ball back 30 yards Carolina lost 15 yards on a fumble but Abernethy made 10 of it back around the left end. This sort of playing kept up fo the entire first halt of the game which continued 20 minutes. Nei tnersiae made a point. It was very evident from the start that Caro lina could hold the Davidson boys in check, but it was doubtful if the stronger team could score. The Varsity boys made a touch down and kicked a goal within six minutes arter the second halt was called. Abernethy, Gardner and Sadler bucked the center and mad6 gain after gain. After that the Davidson boys rallied and .ade desperate fight to keep the score at 6, and it was successful. The play ing of Lacy, a tiny fellow, and Lane was very fine. Lane did some cleanl clever tackling in the line, Aber nethy and Gardner did first class work for the Varsity boys. Sadler, Winborne, Snipes and Roberson made a splendid quartette behind the line. Abernethy gained everv time he struck Davidson's line. When Carolina made the goal there was great excitement. Th crowd scattered all over the grounds and it took some time to clear the field for the game to continue The last few minutes of the game were intensely interesting, for the Davidson boys put forth every ef fort to keep the Varsity boys from gaining. The game was exciting from start to finish and did well for green teams. The spectators were pleased. They felt as if they had gotten the worth of their money, and no serious accident had marred the pleasure of the afternoon. The two teams lined up as fol-ows: Carolina. Winbourne, L. H.

Robert R. Brown, who coached North Carolina last year, is coach ing the team of Washington and Lee this season. Our readers will perhaps remem ber that our initial issue contained an account or a v reshman class election, the ticket being headed by Freeman for president. The place of this meeting, as announced here tofore, was the third story of the New West; the time thereof a rea sonable time before breakfast. We supposed at the time that this closed the season of politics, but this, it seems, was not the casej Some of the members of '09, being more ambitious than last year's class, which was abundantly . satis4 fied with one election, straightway held another, the time of which was a half hour before the beginning of Sunday, October 1st, and the place the new athletic field on the west goal's 45 yard line. At this meet- ing an entirely new ticket, headed by "Red Buck" Bryant for presi dent was nominated .and elect ed. Then came the peculiar part. After having held two meetings and having declared two different tick ets elected nobody seemed willing for both elections to stand. Those who had voted in one declined to recognize the other and as the class was divided against i tself the matter was referred to the dean of the acad- year. It is estimated that Yost gets imic department, Dr. Alexander, for' about $5,000. arbitrament. Those who voted in the first elec tion contended that in all corporate bodies a quorum is the only thing necessary to elect officers or trans act any other business at a called meeting. They contended that they had a quorum, and as proof of this submitted to the dean 66 signed proxies. They maintained that in asmuch as their election was the first one held, Wiis held in accord ance with all Faculty rules and as a quorum was present, their election should take precedence of all subsequent elections, no matter how many voted in them. Those who participated in the second election held (whether ad mitting or denying the contention of the others as to the general princi ples governing elections, we do not know) that it was customary in, the University for a t'fcket, in order to be elected, to have a majority of the registered vote of the class; that the first ticket was not voted, for, by a majority and therefore was , not elected; that the second ticket, did receive such a vote, and in proof of this submitted for the dean's in spection ninety-three proxies. Dr. Alexander's statement in re gard to the matter in question; is substantially as follows: "So far as power to decide such elections one way or another is concerned I have none; but since the matter was re ferred to me I have looked into it the best I could. So far as I can learn, it has for a long time been the chs tom in the University to have a majority before declaring a ticket elected. If we follow this custom it seems to me there was no election except the second." And there you are. Meantime let the good work go on. We're waiting for a third election. It shall have a place in.' these columns no matter what it displaces. Dr. Hume to Lecture. Dr. Thomas Hume will leave Sat- day for Norfolk, Va., to attend and to participate in the exercises of the centennial celebration of the First Baptist church of Norfolk, Dr. Hume's former home.
