Vol. 16. No. 10. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. CAROLINA LOSES DEBATE PENNSYLVANIA WINS BY A NAR ROW MARGIN. Both Sides Have Strong Argument Pennsylvania Men Make a Good Impression. Carolina's bebaters. Messrs. P. M. Williams and T. W. Andrews, lost the debate Friday night with Messrs. F. W. Melvin and A. W. Smith, representatives of the Philo- mathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania. The vote of the judges stood two to one, and the decision was reached after more than half an hour's deliberation The query was "Resolved, That the tariff should not be reduced at the next session of Congress," and Carolina had the negative side. Messrs. Smith and Melvin were accompanied by Mr. F. A. Paul as alternate. Mr. Paul is an old de bater, having captained the Penn sylvania 'varsity debating team for two years, and is an editor on The Punch Bowl, The Red and Blue and. The Pennsylvaniau. Mr. Smith is an editor on The Pennsylvanian and was a member of the debating team which defeated the Haver ford and JJelosphic Societies last spring. Mr. Melvin, captain of the present debating team, was a member of the debating teams against Haver ford in 1905 and against Columbia in 1906: Messrs. Williams and Andrews never before represented Carolina in an inter-collegiate debate, but they showed up as unusually strong debaters, and the manly manner in which they accepted defeat won the respect and admiration of every one. The debate. was presided over by Judge James C. MacRae. Mr. J. W. Umstead acted as secretary and Messrs, W. K. Boyd, professor of history in Trinity College; E. P. Wharton, president of the Southern Life and Trust Company of Greens boro, and W.C. Jackson, princi pal of the Greensboro High School, were the judges. When the case had been turned over to the judges and they had withdrawn; various people in the audience were called upon for speeches. Mr. Paul of Pennsyl vania, in responding to the call for him, made a happy little talk, ex pressing for himself and his col leagues their appreciation of the hospitality which had been accorded them during their short stay here. He made quite a hit, and indeed all of the Pennsylvania men made a most favorable impression.; The Pennsylvania debaters took the attitude that the question is un timely in view of the present tight money market. It was urged that the country is verging on the edge of a panic and that an upheaval such as the tariff revision would cause would still further complicate our" present unfortunate financial (Continued on page 4. ) SCHUBERT AND MR. WARDE THURSDAY AND MONDAY NIGHTS RESPECTIVELY. Schubert Quartette Renders De lightful Program Mr. Warde Also Good. The University has been favored by two Star Course entertainments since the last appearance of The Tar Heel Schubert String Quar tette of Boston on Thursday night and Mr. Frederick Warde, also of Boston, on Monday night. THE SCHUBERT QUARTETTE The Schubert String Quartette of Boston made its annual visit to the University Thursday night. For several years this quartette has been on the Star Course program, and needless to say their visits are sources of pleasure to lovers of good music. This time the quartette gave ev en a better program than usual Yet to the people who expected or desired rag-time, it was a disap poiutment and be it said to the ever lasting shame of some of the stu dents that they manifested their disappointment and disapproval in a, manner becoming the denizens of the peanut gallery in a city theater Nay, it was worse. For, not being satisfied with causing disturbance in the-hall, some irresponsible and childish beings must needs resort to giving the college yells just on the outside. But, leaving out these disturban ces and the consequent anger they caused the responsible and sane students, the performance was a distinct success. The members of the company are unquestionably artists of the first order, and their rendition of some of the most diffi cult pieces was a source of pure de- ( Continued on page 3. ) Freshmen Defeated. The Freshmen were defeated in Greensboro Saturday b y the Greensboro High School to the tune of 9 to 5. The game was fast and snappy all the way through and the teams were pretty evenly matched. The Freshmen scored first, mak ing a touchdown but failed to kick goal. Later the "Highs" kicked a field goal and made a touchdown. The game ended with the ball in the-possession of the Freshmen on Greensboro's two foot line. The line-up: Freshmen Greensboro Rutzler r. e. Ilendnx Oliver 1. t. Prior Wetzell, r. g.

In the Second Carolina Rallies and Wins the Game by Score ; of 13 to 11 Carolina defeated Richmond Col lege here, in an extremely interest ing game of football Saturday af ternoon by the score of 13 to 11. The Richmond College men sur prised every one by their plucky game and at the end of the first half, with the score 11 to 2 in favor of the visitors, the situation looked mighty bad for Carolina. But with the never-say-die spirit character istic of the supporters of the White and Blue, Carolina got into the game in the second half and com pletely turned the tables on Rich mond College. - Various conjectures have been put forward to explain the lethar gy of the. Carolina men in the first half. It may have been a spirit of over-confidence. If so, they soon realized that they were up against no puny crowd and must hand out the best in the house to the men from Richmond. But whatever the bugbear, it was put to flight in the second half for Carolina, played ball. The game was interesting. It abounded in fake plays, forward passes, and long end runs. In the use of fake plays Richmond College was peculiarly fortunate and many a time she kept Carolina guessing as to which direction the leather would finally take. In the use of the forward pass both sides were suc cessful, neither side being penal ized more than once or twice for failure to work it successfully. At the begining of the first half Carolina kicked off to Richmond (Continued on page 3. ) Faculty and Varsity Have a Fight. Prof. E. K. Graham and Dr. L. R. Wilson laid aside their dignity last Friday and met the varsity tennis team on the D. K. E. court in a contest for supremacy. A as the meet with Wake Forest and not nearly so one-sided. It was agreed that three out of five sets should decide the contest, but fast though the playing was, it was impossible to play the five sets and the meet was called off at dark with the score two to one in favor of the varsity and a tie on the fourth set. The scores were: 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 9-9. The meet will probably be played off some time this week. THE UNIVERSITY SERMON BY REVEREND MELTON CLARK OF GREENSBORO. Athletic Association Fees Due. The membership fees of the ath letic association must be paid by December 1st. The election for the managers of the football team will be held early in December, and on ly those who have paid their fees will be entitled to vote. Spiritual Life His Theme Held His Audience from Begin ning to End. Reverend Melton Clark, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, on last Sunday night preached the University sermon for November. The large crowd of townspeople and students present almost filled Gerrard Hall. Mr. Clark held his audience from the beginning both by the force of his thought and by the ease of his de- livery. His theme was spirital life and he chose as his text the seven teenth verse of sixth chapter of Second Kings: "And Elisha said', Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see." The speaker began by saying that there was to every man tb fact and possibility of spiritual in sight, the fact and possibility of spiritual power. God is with his people in a especial sense to aid and protect them and he will give them the best spiritually. David stated a great truth when he said, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him " Many who ought to receive great benefit from this truth know nothing at. all of it or its power. Many men have sought for spiritual power, but have not done it in the right way because they are blind. Oftentimes they almost attain spiritual power, but they meet with the rough places in life and fail because they have not the assurance of God's love. f ' The appreciation of the spiritual is possible to all. The miraculous spirit power which belonged to Elisha is an improbability today, yet any one by asking God can grow in spiritual power. The rea son that some men have no spiritual power is because their spiritual sense is dead. We apprehend all things through the senses. If we have no light sense we cannot' see; if we have no spiritual sense we can have no spiritual insight, no spirit ual power. We must look to God and get the spiritual sense and spiritual power. It was this power that stood Abraham, Joseph and Moses in good stead through all their trials and endeavors. It was by this power that Arthur Cum nor revolu tionized life at Harvard, that Rob ert Speer left an indelible imprint on Princeton life, and it is by means of this power that the young men of Carolina can change and up lift the moral tone of the student body. Dr. Archibald Henderson has ac cepted the invitation of the Win throp and Curry Literary Societies of Winthrop College, S. C, to ad dress them on the occasion of their joint annual banquet on November 28th, r
