THE TA Vol. 15. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C , THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1906. No. 11 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THF, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HEEL0 THE SENIOR BANQUET CLASS OF '07 ENJOYS A BOUN TIFUL SPREAD. Speeches Humorous and Otherwise by Members of the Faculty and of the Class. The oeniors held the final and most enjoyable banquet of their college life at Pickard's Hotel last Thursday night from 9 until 1:45. Nearly every member, of the class was present, and all were in royal spirits, the only gloom that ..was cast on the event being- occasioned by the absence of the fait- members of the class. However this was some-' what compensated for by the fact that one at least of them sent her; heartfelt love to her fellow memj bers of '07, one and all, and by the1 presence of Drs. Eben Alexander and Archibald - Henderson and Pro fessors H. H. Williams and M. C. S. Noble, the guests of the class. Mr. J. J.- Parker, the president of the class, presided gracefully over the banquet and called first on Professor Williams, who made a short address on "The Call of the South." Professor Williams showed that in three great phases of life, especially, the South needs men to - revolutionise tne present conditions, in the organization, of the cotton producers, in the organi zation of the railway systems, and in the redemption of Democracy. Mr. R. C. Day made a brief re sponse, also on the opportunity of the young man in the South. The toastmaster, in a very happy manner, then called upon Dr. Henderson, "the professor who suc ceeds in mathematizing the Fresh men without mathematizing his soul," who, after keeping the as semblage in an uproar for a short while by his ready wit, spoke on the opportunities for developing the faculties and choosing a profession, and the privileges, afforded by a college education. Mr. McLean replied in a short address on "Class Customs" some of his suggestions being received favorably, and others j not. Dr. Alexander then made a short, but graceful speech and was followed bv Mr. Linn. After the tables had been cleared and the cigars lit Professor Noble entertained his hearers for a too brief ten minutes with a dissertation that could not but add fame to his reputation as a humorist. Mr. Duls replied. A number of impromptu speeches were then heard, among them that of Professor Hughes, who was unquestionably the star of the evening. Professor .Hughes, taking advantage of his positin in facullate, after r holding up several of his fellow-banqueters to unlimited ridicule, incidentally en deavoring to destroy all the good work that they had done toward passing ethics, logic, pedagogy, etc., and also looking out for his inter ests on second Greek, proceeded in quite a fraternal way to butt hi brother faculty member, "Professor Marcus Cicero Stephens Noble. Finally, when it was impossible to prolong the feasting- further, the Seniors adjourned to the well and gave a few rousing songs and yells. The banquet was everything that could have been desired. The menu was well prepared and served. The menu cards were especially handsome, being made of dark blue soft leather in card case form with abundant space for autographs, and with the class monogram stamped in gold on the back.

As there were no fair means of allotting these three prizes in the racket tournament it has been de cided to offer them as prizes in a second tournament, in which all those who failed to win prizes in the first tournament and any others who may desire to join the Tennis Association may compete. This tournament will commence immedi ately and must be concluded by the beginning of 1 the examination period. Immediately after the holidays a third tournament will be opened for the class championship. This con test will be held under the auspices of the Tennis Association, and a silk bauner or some other trophy will be offered for the winning class team. A period of twelve clear days will be allotted, during which time each class may select by competition the team that is to represent it. After these teams have been chosen a , regular tourna ment will be held between them, the championship to be decided by means of percentage. This class championship series is a splendid idea for "developing! both class spirit and good Varsity teams, and the classes should enter into it in earnest.: Dr. Smith's Work. "Studies in English Syntax", published bv Dr. C. Alphonso Smith last June has met with much fa vorable comment from leadingschol ars and philologists at home and abroad. The book, which is writ ten in a popular style, is intended to interest the reader in the structure of our language, to illustrate the wide reach of syntactical problems, and to portray the natural laws underlying English spee;h. SCRUBS 56; BINGHAM 0. SECOND TEAM WINS VICTORY. AN EASY Bingham Unable to Wihstand Line Plunges or to Block Forward Passes. The Scrubs gained a complete walkover over Bingham on the gridiron last Friday, piling up a score of 56 to 0 in two twenty min ute halves. The game bade fair to be a good one at the start, only lb being tallied in the first half. In the second half; ' though, Bingham seemed to lose heart, and was un able to prevent tne Scrubs from scoring almost at will. The Scrubs showed improve ment over their condition in their previous game. , It is true that they were not pushed so hard, but they played together better on both of fence and defence., The forward pass they succeded in working often, i and to great advantage. Practically two teams were used by the Scrubs during- the game and both showed up well. The Bingham game ends the ist of football contests to be played on the Hill this fall. The Scrubs have arranged no further games, and the class teams have" already disbanded. Durinev the next; few weeks those who have been chasinc- the pigskin so assiduously all fall will bestir themselves in lines more pertinent to graduation, and he athletic fielu will be left in un disturbed repose. In the first, half . the Scrubs kicked off to Bingham, who failed to gain and punted to the middle of the field. Groome, Gaddy and Hanes then proceeded to hammer Bingham's line for first downs, and after five minutes play Hanes 'was shoved over for a touchdown. The Scrubs failed at goal. The" second touchdown . was scored five minutes afterward, when Morgan blocked a punt .on . Bingham's 25- yard line. The next rush carried he leather over, and Hanes kicked goal. The third touchdown resulted from steady line-bucking by Croswell and a couple of well exe cuted forward passes by Eames and Gaddy. . . The second half, although it was . rather farcical exploitation of football, was interesting, in a way. . (Continued pa Fourth Fuga.)
