Bo. 3. . - ; .... .T , .. ,, ., , , , !mmmmmmmmmm OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. A Credit to the University. To Be v the Social Center of the Campus. Where are now those scoffers who prophesied that the completion . of the Y. M. C. A. building- would come to pass with the finishing o Babel? ..Their voices have not been heard this fall, at least. Thank: to the industry of Secretary Ran kin and Mr. Jackson, the work; on the building- has gone on apace since last commencement, and the opening- of college found the inte rior woodwork entirely completed and most of the staining done. The building is now largely furnished and presents quite a handsome anoearance inside.- In fact, the interior is far more attractive than the exterior promised, and is very conveniently arranged. On the lower floor, to the right and left of the main lobby respec tively, are the game and reading rooms. The game room Ms fur nished with checker tables, wicker divans, and lounging chairs, and is intended as the loafing center of college. Both the lobby and the reading room are' fitted up with mission furniture. On the tables and.files in the reading room it is intended to keep the leading maga zines and newspapers of the day. The chapel, in the rear on the ground floor, is not yet finished. Upstairs the lobby is furnished in mission, as in the mission room, the first room to the right, which is the most handsomely furnished room in the building and is to be used as the parlor. The Bible study room adjoining it is to be fitted up by a friend of the Univer sity. On the opposite side of the hall are the magazine room in the front and the Tar Heei room in the rear. The magazine room is already partially furnished and will be completely equipped, it is hoped, sometime during the year. The Tar HEEL room is now unfur nished but will soon be ready for occupation through the kindness of Dr. W. W. Craven, ex '01, who has agreed to fit it up. Dr. Craven is a graduate of the medical depart ment, and is now on the medical staff of the South and Western Railway. He was noted for the part he took in athletics while in college, and now he never fails to take advantage of every chance to send men to the University. , The mission, game and reading rooms, were furnished from the general fund. . Thet floors in the two lobbies, and the reading and game rooms are covered with cork carpeting; throughout the rest of the building the floors are stained and waxed. The Y. M, C. A. building fills a want that has,- long been felt in University life for a place to go for a conversation, a game, or an hour's readinga place where everybody would feel at home. Such is the purpose of the building, and as such, it is free to everyone. The Y. M. C. A. extends an invitation to every man in college to make use of it whether ne be a member of the association or not. The Tennis Association. A few of the members of the Tennis Association met in the chapel Thursday afternoon, 27th, and elected officers for the year. Mr. G. M. Fountain was chosen president and Mr. F. L. Huffman secretary and treasurer. It is the desire of the president to awaken greater interest in the association than has been manifested in the past. With this in view arrangements will be made for two tournaments. The winners in one of these tournaments will form the team which will meet the Guilford and Virginia teams. As encourage ment for men to enter the other tournament Mr. Fountain has already secured eleven prizes to be given by different firms in town. They .are as follows: 1st. Gold Medal ($8.00) racket, given by the University Athletic Store. 2nd, A Stetson hat, given by Whiting Brothers, of Raleigh. 3rd. A $2.50 fountain pen, given by A. A. Kluttz. 4th. A fine pipe, given by Eubanks Drug Co. 5th.. A pair of Walkabout shoes given by C. B. Griffin. 6th. A $2.50 watch fob, given by Willie B. Sorrell. 7th, A pair of $2,50 gloves, given by W. A. Slater & Co. 8th. A pair of $2.50 cuff buttons, by E. P. Cate. 9th. A fine rug, given by Durham Bros, 10th. A $2.00 pocket knife, given by Herndon. 11th. A box of fine cigars, given by Pickard & Stroud. These prizes will be on exhibition this afternoon in the show window of the University Athletic Store. No man who plays tennis .can afford not to enter one of the two contests. The only requirement is that he be a member of the Tennis Association. V ZERO TO ZERO. Class Football Schedule. The managers of the class foot ball teams have arranged the fol lowing schedule: Oct. 13th, Sophs vs. Juniors. V Oct. 20th, Fresh vs. Seniors. Oct- 26th, Juniors vs. Seniors. Nov. 2nd, Jresh vs. Sophs. ' Nov. 9th, Juuiors vs. Fresh. Nov." 17th,' Sophs vs. Seniors. Nov-. 29, open. , Several of the teams have already shown up for practice on the old athletic field and some good games may be expected between the classes. The Order of Gimgbouls gave an informal dance, at their lodge Friday night in honor of visiting young ladies, v Victory for Neither Carolina Nor Davidson. Honors About Even. The Davidson game at Charlotte Saturday opened the season for Carolina on the gridiron, and resulted, as did the Davidson game of two years ago, in a tie, neither side scoring. In spite of the fact that neither goal was crossed much interest was evinced by the crowd, the teams being about evenly matched. One of the largest at tendances on record at Charlotte for a football game is reported. The crowd numbered 1,200, and at least 250 of this number hailed from Davidson. The Presbyterian and Elizabeth college girls turned out in a body, some adorned with Davidson, some with Carolina colors. The game itself was far from a satisfactory one. Neither team played good ball, but Davidson had slightly the better of the encounter. This was due to several reasons. In the first place Davidson had seven of her last year's team on the field again, as against Caro lina's three. The Davidson team outweighed the University eleven, too, by an average of at least ten pounds.' The defensive playing of pur team was fair,: but .the offen sive work was poor, Davidson's big guards proving too hard for the line to hold. The line-up of the teams was as follows: Davidson. Carolina. Miller Croom Lentz Allen Whitaker Seymour Fetzer Elliot Denny Sadler McCay 1. e. 1. t. 1. fif. c. r. fiT r. t. r. e. q. b. r. h. 1. h. f. b. Da vis Singletary Thompson Parker Rogers Trailor Story Sutton Dunlap McNeill " Drury Whitaker and Lentz, guards, and McCay, full back, did the best playing for Davidson. Story, Parker and Thompson did the best wofk for Carolina. Time of game 3:45; halves, 20 minutes. Umpire, Mr. George Stephens; referee, Nalle; linemen, Monroe and Stew art. Judging from this first game of the season the new game "of football is not suited to college playing, ac cording to Coach Kienholtz. The new form of play is essentially a game for- experienced men, and suf ficient time is not available in the fall term to develop this experi- ence. l en yaras is also too mucn to require for first down, consider ing that the line has been opened up no more than it has. With teams equally matched the forward pass will amount to nothing. It is' a risky play at best. Where teams are anywhere near evenly matched, Coach .Kienholtz says, there will be. no scoring under the present rules. . Our next game, which occurs next Saturday, is with Pennsylva nia, and it is needless to say that it will be about the hardest of the season. The Total Enrollment. At the1 opening of the session it was expected that the number of students enrolled this year would be -larger than ever before. This expectation was a justifiable one. The total number of students regis tered so far at the University, including the 20 medical studentsjat Raleigh, is 695, 400 of these being in the academic department. This total already exceeds the total for the entire year 1905-6 by 15, By next June the enrollment will have far passed the 700 mark. The increase this year is not marked in the Freshman class," that class this year being practically the same size as the one last year. It is in the professional departments, especially in the law and medical schools, that the growth has been most pronounced. We state, not by way of compari sion, but merely as a matter of interest, that the total enrollment at the University of Virginia last yaar was 728. Her total so far this year is 721, of which number 254 belong tos the academic department. The New University Day. ; University Day, October 12th, has been in the past merely a holi day. It is true that some Alumnus of , prominence has spoken every year on that date in Gerrard Hall, but the visitors have always been few, and the fact that the day is celebrated is scarcely known off the Hill. This year there is to be a change. Instead 'of the single long speech of former years there will be several short speeches from representative alumni, residents of this state and others. This year too, for the first time, the exercises will be held in Memorial Hall. The members of each class will march in together, and each class will occupy seats apart from the other classes. College songs will be sung and music will be furnished by the college orchestra under the leader ship of Mr.Chas.T. Woollen. These exercises will be held in the morn ing. In the afternoon the football game between the U. N. C. and Richmond College elevens will take place on the athletic field. The purpose of this new plan is to let University Day take, in part, the place of commencement. At commencement visitors see only a small number of the students. Those who visit the Hill on Univer sity Day will see the entire student body. ; : ' : ;- The date of the Richmond Col lege football team has been changed from the 13th to the 12 ot October, 1 iLi
