THE FOOTBALL PRACTICE IS ON
IN EARNEST
The 'VaVsHy Eleven is as Yet an
Unknown Quantity First
Game Saturday
Football is the all-absorbing topic
at present, and each afternoon
crowds of students can be seen at
the side-lines, watching the practice
Coach Greene has had the candi
dates hard at work, and already his
training is beginning to show up.
The ends are getting down under
punts in a hurry, and are tackling
the runner hard. The backfield men
show much improvement in catch
ing and running back punts. The
linemen are being coached as to
how they should charge, both at
offense ad defense, and from pres
ent indications Carolina ought to
have an invincible line.
Croswell will not be out again
this year, as he had to have an op
eration performed for appendicitis.
His loss will be a serious one, for
he had no equal here in punting,
and as a line-plunger he was one of
the best. However, Capt. Thomas
and Belden are both good punters.
and there is no reason why Caro
lina should be outdone hi this im
portant department of the game.
It is not yet settled as to who will
play the backfield positions. Thom
as, Wiggins, Ruffin, Hedgpeth,
Williams, Kelly, Schimpf, McLean,
Hanes and Watlington are all good
men, aud it will take some time to
find out which of these men will
compose the Varsity trio. For
quarter on the Varsity, Belden and
Mann are now running neck and
neck, while Tillett is also showing
up well. Deans and Hughes are
also running a close race for center,
and Morrison would make a good
substitute for either. Howell is a
tower of strength at his old posi
tion, right guard, while Iseley and
Ferguson are both good material
for the other guard. Garrett and
Norwood are now playing the tack
les, but Grier and Coleman are giv
ing them a run for their money.
Manning, Rogers, Wadsworth and
Lambeth will all make good men to
put on the ends.
Coach Greene is having a hard
scrimmage practice each afternoon,
so that the players will become har
dened early in the season. The
scrimmage Monday afternoon was
hard-fought on both sides, the Var
sity winning out by one touchdown,
which they made four minutes after
play began. The' plunging by
Thomas and Wiggins, end runs by
Wiggins, and a well-executed for
ward pass netted over sixty yards,
and with only a few more yards to
gain, Captain Thomas carried the
ball over for a touchdown. After
this neither side got within striking
distance of the goal. Lester made
several spectacular short end runs
for the Scrubs". The line-up in
FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS A
RECTOR HERE
Will Retire from Active Work-
Greatly Beloved in Chapel
Hill
Dr. W. II. Meade, for eight years
the Rector of the Chapel of the
Cross, has resigned his charge ant
will retire from active work. The
resignation has been accepted and wil
take effect the first of November. The
news of Dr. Meade's resignation was
heard with general regret both in
Chapel Hill and on the campus. The
usefulness of his life, the kindness and
gentleness of his disposition, coupled
with the scholarly dignity of his ser
mons, have endeared him to townsman
and student alike.
Dr. Meade comes of good Virginia
stock. Few families in Virginia have
a more honored history than the fam
ily of which Dr. Meade is a descend
ant. He is the grandson of the dis
tinguished Bishop Meade. Dr. Meade
was educated at the University of Vir
ginia and at the Theological Seminary
at Alexandria, Va. He assisted his
father at Lexington a year after his
graduation, but his first charge was
in Mecklenburg Co., Va., where he
stayed four years. He was Rector
of the Zion Church, Charlestown,
West Vifginiay .or sixteen years.
From Charlestown he went to Phila
delphia where he had as his charge
for four years, the Church of the Sav
ior. From there he went to Roanoke
where he was rector of St. John's
Church for twelve jears. The last
Sunday in October, 1898, Dr. Meade
became Rector of the Chapel of the
Cross. From that day to this
he has given his devoted life to the
betterment of the the people of
Chapel Hill and to the ennobling of
the students of the University. The
people of Chapel Hill and the students
of the University are deeply apprecia
tive of his helpfulness to them. His
retirement from active service in his
declining years is but the fitting re
ward of a useful life. The Tar Heel
extends to him the best wishes for a
happy retirement from the active ser
vices of a long and honored career.

The team will be in readiness by
Saturday for the first game with
Wake Forest. It is impossible to
make any prediction as to what the
score will be, as Wake Forest is an
unknown quantity, this being the
first footballteam the Baptist institu
tion has recently sent out. While the
season is yet young this first game
will go a long way toward deciding
who makes the Varsity, for prac
tically every promising candidate
will get a try-out in the game.

C. A. LAST THURSDAY
NIGHT
At the Beautiful Home of Dr. and
Mrs. George Howe Large
Attendance
The social event of the fall open
ing was the reception given to the
Freshmen by the Y.M.C.A. Thurs
day evening at Waldfriden, the
home of Dr. aud Mrs. George Howe.
The extensive lawn was brilliantly
illuminated by an orderly series of
Japanese lanterns and the capacious
home was tastefully decorated. Dr.
Howe, Mrs. Howe, Mrs Gilliam,
and Mrs. Flynn graciously received
the guests in the hall way. The
Freshmen, contrary to expectation in
view of their timidity at this stage
of their college career, came out in
large numbers unmolested by the
wary Sophomores. Members of the
faculty and people of the town, who
so generously aided in furnishing re
freshments, were .present to add to
and partake of the pleasure of the
occasion. The refreshments, which
consisted of cream and cake, were
served most bountifully. Everybody
had a good time and especially the
Freshmen. This night will long be
remembered bj members of the class
of 1912 as one of the most enjoyable
nights of the year. The reception,
which was more or less an experi
ment by Mrs. Howe, will become a
precedent for the coming years and
will be looked forward to with inter
est and pleasure.
Magazine In the Hends of the
Printers.
The board of editors and mana
gers of the University Magazine
has made a good beginning. In con
sequence of the tireless efforts of
ex-manager Hodge during the sum
mer, the magazine is already on a
solid financial basis. Two hundred
and fifty subscribers outside of
Chapel Hill have been secured and
the number of advertisements
already secured is exceptionally
argc. The cover has been
changed. It will be white with
)lue lettering embossed. The con
tract for the printing has been let
to the Ray Printing Company, a
well known printing firm of Char-
otte. The first issue promises to
)e a good one. The material is
already in the hands of the printers
and the business manager is count-
ng on getting the nsue out by the
if th or sixth of October. The fol-
owing changes have been made in
the personell of the board: Mr. D.
3. Teague was elected bv the Phil
anthropic Society to succeed Mr. S.
W. Hodge, who will not return to
college; and Mr. V. C. Edwards
was elected dy the Dialectic Socie
ty to take the place of Mr. R. A.
Freeman, who is teaching school in
Georgia. The magazine is under
the excellent supervision of Editor-in-Chief,
J. B. Reeves,
