Vol. 15. UNIVERSITY' Or NORTH CAROLINA, CHAfEL KILL, 5; C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. No. 2." OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE' UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. FOOTBALL. AN UNlrOUtUNATE MIST AltE. DIBLE STUDY RALLY. The Squad. What Our Chances Look Like. Ever since September the' eighth work, on the gridiron has been going" on steadily. A large num ber of candidates have, been coming out every afternoon, and three teams' V 1 . ......... . iLu..L niWMlln nave Deem running miuu igu"a most of the time. Scrimmage work has been more or less delayed by the heat. Of last year's team only three members are back in college: Cap tain Story, Thompson, and barker. A large number of last year's squad are out' again, though, , this fall, Trailor and Singletary, both good men, are trying at tackle. There are numerous candidates for positions behind the line. For half there are Pittman, McNeill, Shull, Dunlap, -Phillips, Benbow and Stacyi Parker, our star center of last year, is now at fullback; The quarters are D'Al'emberte, Sutton and Mating Morrow and Davis, with Story and Thompson, are at end. ..While 'the men who are but show good grit many of them are tob light. There are men, plenty of them, in college with the requisite weight, could they only be prevailed upon to go out. These men are doing themselves injustice when 'they fail to go out in answer to the call of the, University. If their retrard, for the University is not strong enough to take them out they should consider the. fact that they are missing a splendid opportunity for training themselves for the battle of life. In no place can a man develop self-control arid per severance more than on the football field, and these. "qualities are pri mary requisites for success. With such a small nucleus from last year's team to work upon', and with such need for heavy men, our chances do not look, at present, any too promising. If we expect to get out a winning team this fall there will have to be some , radical changes. ' It is Coach Kienholt's desire to have at least two teams, one equally as good as the other, and as yet he has not one entire. Coach .Kienholtz is one of the best in his profession, but we cannot expect him to get out a team with out the necessary 'men. He has proved in the past his ability as a trainer, as we who remember last year's football ' season well know, and he will get out a winning team for Carolina this "fall if only 'lie be furnished the material to work with. No serious accidents hare resulted so far" on the gridiron. D'Alemberte is .suffering from a" sprained ankle, MdRae from a "broken collar bone and Stacy from a bruised thigh, but the injuries in each case are slight. All of the men seem soft, and' badly in ued of training down. As the season opens '"with the Davidson game at Charlotte next Saturday, this week's practice has been hard. Freshman Hatch Shoots Sophomore 6'Neir Mistakes Joi& . tor Hazing. ' Shortly after the supper , hour Tuesday evening Freshman J. J. Hatch shot Sophomore Bernard O'Neill, inflicting a slight wound iri the groin. The shooting took place at the corner of the Long building, where the pathway from the frater nity halls crosses the main patft from the Old West building. This spot is densely shaded by shrubbery so it jis practically impossible for persons passing to recognize each other. Hatch who has been wait ing on the table at Mrs. Barbee's boarding house, had just reached this point on his way home after supper, when he met four boys on their way down town. Twice in the past few days Hatch had stood off with his pistol crowds of Soph1 omores who had come to" his room with the intention of hazing him, and the Sophomores had made, so he says, repeated threats "to get him". Consequently when one of the four boys that he met jumped at him and caught him -somewhere about the shouldersllatch pulled out his pistol and shot once. The crowd immediately scattered, Hatch going to his room and the three other boy's assisting their wounded comrade to the infirmary, where he was attend ed by Drs. Mangum and MacNider who probed for. the ball, finding that it bad taken a downward course and inflicted comparatively little injury. Hatch says that he did not rec ognize any of the boys in the crowd, but thought that they were Soph omores and shot because he thought they were attempting to carry, out their threat to haze him. These young men state that they had no such intentions, that they, had not thought of Hatch beforehand and merely jumped forward to startle him, when they recognized him. After talking with President Yen able and Dr. Alexander, Hatch submitted to the authorities and gave bond. : His father was tele phoned for and arrived yesterday morninev At last accounts O'Neill was doing nicely and there seems to be every reason for his speedy te- covery. GUILFORD CHALLENGES US. Wants a Tenuis Meet The Tennis Association. Mr, D. P. Tillet, President of the Tennis Association; has receiv ed a communication from Mr. R. P. Dalton, manager of the Guilford College tennis team, in regard to arranging a tennis meet with us for some date next month. No defi nite steps have been taken so far, but it is probable that the meet will be secured. We will have only one other- with Virginia and that has not been scheduled as yet, so it is to be hoped that the Guilford meet will materialize. In spite of the fact that there are a number of good play ers in college the tennis associa tion has never been abhr to form a satisfactory organization. There are, two reasons, for this. The first is that tennis players have no opport unity for development. The four courts owned by the association are t6tally unfit for use; one of them has even been chosen as the site for the erection of a lumber pile. Not one of the other four courts on the campus is really in fit conditio for service. Yet these courts are in such cons taut demand that it is pure luck if a man can get a chance to play when he wants a game. The lack of re ward is, however, the tennis play er's greatest disadvantage. The baseball player, the football player, the track man, even the man who goes to gym, has a chance to win an N. C. It is hard to see why tennis should be put under the ban; Right this evil and the other will eliminate itself. "',.'-. Handicapped as they have been, though, by lack of encouragement, and bv training on bad grounds, the tennis teams that we have turn ed out in the past have proved wor- fW ma frhes for Virginia. It is to -"7 -r- y c- be hoped that an increase in the number of tournaments held with other colleges will tend to improve conditions. The Moot Court On ftafnrrlav niornim?" the moot court convened for the first time this year. A criminal case, State vs Breckville, was on docket,' mur der being the charge, with the evi dence en ti rely circumstantial. Mr. W. B. Love appeared for the de fence and made a 'most eloquent speech. However he was unable to save his client from the wrath of Solicitor Smoot, who, succeeded in flip verdict. A civil case is s : slaled for next Saturday. Mr. Alf W. Haywood, '04s re- fVn TTniversitv lor a tUl w . . " ' - I short visit last week. First Year Meds Elect.

On- last Friday afternoon the luninrs met for the Duroose of electing their officers for the year The meeting took place in Gerrard Hall and the men chosen were: " T. R. Eagles,, president.. T.

Holds its Annual Meet ing Rev, LeRoy Gresham Speaks. On Sunday afternoon in Gerrard Hall the Young Men's Christain Association held i ts regular yearly meeting for the purpose of present ing its Bible study courses to the students.' Dr. C. Alphonso Smith had expected to make the address but was unable to do so, and at the last moment, Rev. LeRoy preshanV consented to speak in his place. Mr. Gresham, who has recently finished the course at Union The ological Seminary, Richmond, Va. , took his master's degree several years ago at Princeton, and was for some time engaged in the prac tice of law in Baltimore. He has been called to the pastorate of the Presbyterian church of the village and filled his first appointment there this morning. At college Mr. Gresham was an athlete as well as a student, and he horoughly understands and sympa hizes with college men. He spoke to the students, not as one from the outside, but as one of them. ; He ook as his subject 4 'Bible Study. ' ' 'It has come to be asked, " said Mr. Gresham "whether or not the study of the Bible is worth while for a man who does not profess Christi anity. In other words, 'Does it pay as a business proposition?' This is he modern way of looking at hings. Since gain is not to' be measured entirely in dollars and cents, but in regard also to in, tellectual development and culture the study of the Bible does pay. "No man who is unacquainted with the Bible can thoroughly ap preciate literature. Shakespeare, Tennyson, Browning, Kipling, all are full of scriptural allusion. In the same way the Bible influences oratory. Mr. Bryan is a notable example of this. The. reason for the influence of the Bible in' these two fields in that it is the literature of a race that has in fluenced modern thought and life more than any other. We should study it, therefore, as we study the classics. "Again the Bible claims the alle giance of every living man. Thi3 is, in itself, reason enough for the intellectual man to study the Bible, whsther he believes it or not. The harmony of the gospel the steady development of a single . idea through the sixty six books of the Bible is, if true, a great point in favor of Christianity. Every man should study to see for himself if it is true." '.; . "If a man is a Christian the ne- cessity is stronger tnan ever ior him to study God's method in car rying out this harmony. - There is no place so fitting for this study as in one of the courses offered by the Y. M. C. A." Secretary Rankin then briefly ex plained the courses offered by the (Continued on D'ourth Page.)
