TAR HEJ Vol. 15. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA", CHAPEL HILL, N. C.,' THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1,1906. 7. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. ':....''' NO SCORING AGAIN. Carolina Outplays Techs But Falls to Win Cadets Disappointed. A goose egg was netted again by the Varsity squad in the battle against the V. P. I. eleven at Broad Street Park, Richmond, last Saturday. In a game in 'which the Tar Heels played all around their opponents in the middle of the field, holding the ball in V. P. I. s terri tory seven-eights of the time, inabil ity to make the required ten yads for the coal line at the uinch. lost what r - . should have been an easy victory. Repeatedly the ball was carried by our backs to within easy striking distance of the Tech s goal only to be lost on a forward pass or fumble. However, while the Varsity did not score, they outplayed the cadets at every point. The V, P. I. boys gained the ball each time only to be torced to kick. Their work in returning punts and in getting off their plays was very poor in com parison with Carolina's, nor did . thr once get within sight of a touchdown. The Richmond papers, referring to the relative strength of the two teams, state that, while both teams are weaker than they were last year, Carolina shows up as being far superior to the Techs. ' Carolina's constituents were not alone in their disappointment at the result of the game, for the Blacks burg cadet corps went to Richmond 400 strong, confident of victory. 'Their return was somewhat less triumphant, but they were saved from utter sadness by a certain amount of joy in the realization of the fact that the interposition of the god of luck had saved them from utter discomfiture. The crowd that witnessed the game was, as usual in Richmond, a good one, and the rooters were about evenly divided. Story, as usual, drew the praise of the side-lines. McNeil and Davis also did good work and came in for their share. Nutter, Dif endal, and Tredwell played most of the game for the Techs. The line-up of the teams was as follows: Carolina V. P. I. Davis 1 1. e. Grant Singletary 1. t. Diffendal Thompson, W. 1. g. Cunningham Rogers c. Johnson Morrow r. g. Garnett Thompson, J. r. t. Branch Pittman r. e. Worthington Mann q. b. Tredwall Dunlap r. h. Bouman McNeill 1. h. Smith Story f. b. ' Nutter R e f e re e Whitaker, Carolina. Um pi reTrenchard, Princeton. Linesman Robins, V. P. I. During the first half no playing of a sensational nature was done. The ball was in Carolina's posses sion most of the time ,in close prox imity to V. P. I.'s goal. The half was spent in ineffectual attempts to score by each side. The second half was like unto the first save that about the middle of it Nutter, for V. P. I., saw fit to make a come dian of himself by grabbing up the ball after the whistle had blown and tearing off down the field for a supposed touchdown. The V. P. I. contingent at this juncture went wild of course only to relapse into despondency when the umpire decided that while Nutter's stunt was good track prac- (Oontinued ou Fourth Page.) ' THE CONTRACT AWARDED. Work to Begin at Once on the New Library Its Meaning to the University. Mr. J. A. Jones of Charlotte has been awarded the " contract for the erection, of the new library. Mr. Jones' bid was accepted on the 24th instant, it beiug the lowest esti mate of the six submitted. The purchase of the material will begin at once and the ground will soon be broken up for the foundation. It is hoped that the building' will be ready for occupancy by next August. The building will be 81 feet wide and 121 feet long and will be two stories in height. It .will be finished without in gray speckled pressed brick and within in wood fibre plaster. The interior wood work will be finished in oil. The rotunda will be especially attrac tive. Much cornice work will mark the interior fittings. As has been previously stated in Tar HEEL, the building will be located immediately in front of the infirmary and some distance back from the main pathway. This is the most fitting location available, being near the center of the campus where the building will show off to the greatest advantage and will, also, be conveniently situated for the use of the students. Mr. Jones, to whom the contract has been let, is one ' of the leading contractors and builders in the state. He had charge of the con struction of the Trust building at Charlotte and - is now engaged in supervising the erection of the new Selwyn Hotel in that city. The new library, when complet ed, will represent an increase of $100,000 in the capital of the Univ sity. Of this amount Mr. Andrew Carnegie donated, half and the other $50,000 has been subscribed by friends of the University. Our library will be completed none too soon. For a number of years the library building has been entirely inadequate for the needs of the University. So small is it that it has been found practi cally impossible to arrange all of the 43,000 volumes in the library in a convenint and safe manner. Many- of the books have been placed, perforce, in places where they are more or less difficult of ac cess and where it has been hard to take the proper care of thern. It will be a fortunate day for the librarian when he mav be able to survey all of the volumes under his charge arranged in a satisfactory order, ready at his hand at a mo ment's notice, and, if nothing hap. pens amiss, that day is not now far distant. Shakespeare Club. The Shakespeare Club met last night in Dr. Hume's library. Pa pers were read by Messrs. D'Alem berte, Morrison. Hicks, and Jordan, and Dr. Hume gave an interesting review of recent literature dealing with Shakespeare's plays. UNIVERSITY COUNCIL. Stringent Measures to Prevent Trading In the Temple of Our College Honor. At a mass meeting of the student body last Monday night the Uni versity Council Was invested with the power necessary for the investi gation of hazing. The meeting was presided over by Foye Roberson president of the Atheletic Associa tion and Was attended by the larger part of the student body. Mr. J. J. Parker, before stating the purpose of the meeting, explain ed that the University Council had been created several years ago to deal with hazing and all other vio lations of the honor , system that might occur. At its creation the Council was given power only to sit as a jury on any cases that might be presented to it. In this respect it has been a signal failure, as no evidence of a condemnatory nature has ever been brought before it. Mr. Parker then stated that the object of the meeting Was either to invest the Council with the authority de manded by the situation or to de clare in favor of hazing. Strong speeches were made by Messrs Love, Datneron, Rankin, Barnhardt, and Wilson condemning the spirit of rowdyism which has appeared during the fall. Prof. Williams then made a short but strong appeal to the student body. "We are permitting," said he, "a few men to trade in the temple of our college honor." In conclusion he showed that the honorable and manly thing to do is for every stud ent to place the honor of the Uni versity before personal friendship when it comes to a question of the University's disgrace. A motion was then carried almost unanimously empowering Ihe Uni versity Council to summon before' it to be questioned in regard to mat ters that come before it any mem bers of the student bo'dy that it sees fit to catechise. In conclusion, at the suggestion of President Roberson, a motion was passed for the appointing of a com mittee, composed jointly of Fresh men and upperclassmen, to devise means by which the Freshmen may be prevented from overstepping their proper bounds. The University of Chicago has etermined to abolish coeducation. TENNIS TOURNAMENTS. Meets With Guilford and Virginia. N. C Loses One, Wins the Other.
