BY THE SCORE OF TWELVE TO
NOTHING
The Tennessee Eleven Composed of
Eight Veterans Won From
Varsity Saturday
Carolina's first game in foreign
territory resulted disastrously
Tennessee clipped the wings of - th
"Tar Heel" bunch in Knoxvilh
Saturday, the score being- 12 to 0
Neither team could score in the first
half, though Capt. Leach of Ten
nessee missed two field goals by a
very narrow margin. After Mc
Collum, the Tennessee fullback
grabbed a fumbled forward pass on
his own 30 yard line, and dashed the
lensrth of the field for a touchdown
Tennessee had things her own way
The second touchdown was the re
suit of two on-side kicks and line
plunges by McCollum after the ball
bad been placed on Carolina's 10 yard
line, The stars for Tennessee were
'Capt. Leach and McCollun; for
Carolina, Capt, Thomas, Ruffin,
and Kelly.
The Tennessee team is composed
almost entirely of veterans, eight
of last year's stars having returned,
and every effort is being made by
the Knoxville, . boys to annex the
Southern Championship. Carolina's
defeat was due to the fact that her
opponent had the forward pass and
on-side kick working to perfection,
for Tennessee made very few gains
on line bucks and end runs.
The following account of the
game, taken from Sunday's "Nash
ville Tennessean," was written by
Grantland Rice, "Sporting Editor"
of that paper, who refereed the
game.
"Tennessee made her first strong
bid for Southern supremacy upon
her new battlefield today, romping
away with Carolina's output of
talent by the score of 12 to 0. Le
vene's men went after the Tar
Heels' fetlocks with a rush. Be
lieving they have a great chance to
win every battle played, including
the Commodore game, the Knox
ville Volunteers hammered down
Carolina's defense in the first half
and ran up two touchdowns in the
second. The first score resulted in
a fumbled forward pass which Mc
Collun oLTennessee grabbed on the
run and raced seventy yards for the
goal line untouched. The second
resulted from successful forward
passes, fine end running by Capt.
Leach, and tackle bucks by Mc
Collum. "With eight veterans in the field,
and a powerful back field primed
for battle, the Tennessee squad had
Carolina's measure taken from the
jump. Captain Leach was a tre
mendous power, both offensively
and defensively, and outside of
Lanier it isn't likely that any
other Southern back will class with
him this season.

GAVE FIRST ENTERTAINMENT
OF STAR COURSE
Miss Grace Miller Sang A Large
Crowd Thoroughly Enjoyed
the Entertainment
Victor's Royal Venetian Band of
thirty-five pieces gave the first
entertainment of the Star Course
series Thursday afternoon. A large
audience was present and thorough
ly enjoyed the program. Each suc
cessive number added to the pleasure
of the occasion and was accorded a
hearty encore. Miss Grace K. Miller
interpersed the band music with
several solos and twice she was
called forth from her curtained
corner to respond to the enthusiastic
applause. The music all the way
through was of a high order. To
us it was simply fine, to the connois
seur it was all that and more too.
Certain harmonies, which his sensi
bilities revelled in, were lost to the
unappreciative ears of our untutored
comprehension. Not the least source
of pleasure to us were the move
ments of Victor's restless wand at
whose magic behests the music
welled forth, pure and undefiled.
Star Course
The Star Course will consist
of six numbers. Only four of these
have been definitely arranged. One,
the Venetian Band, has already
been here and was much enjoyed
The other three that have been ar
ranged are Leland Powers, Impersa-
nator, "Whitney Brothers Quartette,
and the Dundar Quartette. The
other two numbers will probably be
lectures of an educational nature.
Of the three already arranged two
have been here before. Leland Pow
ers was here two years ago and
made about the biggest hit of his
season. The Whitney Brothers were
here last year and stood preeminent
in last year's excellent star course
The Dunbar Quartette is a new one
here but is considered one of the best
vocal and instrumental quartettes
in the south. ' The Whitney Brothers
and Leland Powers will be here
in the fall Altogether this year's
star course isthe best in years.
First Class Game
The Sophomores, without diffi
culty, defeated the Seniors Satur
day in the first class game of the
season by a score of five to nothing.
The Sophomores scored the only
touch down in the first half by a
few line plunges and long end runs
by Long. The game was ragged
at times. For the Sophomores
Long, Cocke, Joyner, and Dawson
were the stars; for the Seniors Capt.
McRae, Allen and Parker played a
good game.
All those interested in basketball
will meet in the Y. M. C. A. Building:
tomorrow at 8 P. M. to make some de
finite plans for the organization of
OF NORTH CAROLINA STUDENTS
HELD HERE
Addresses by Drs. Detwiler, La-
Flamme, Weatherf ord, Fisher,
Messrs. Willis, Barnett
The first session of the third
annual Bible Study Conference o
North Carolina colleges and pre
paratory schools was held Friday
night in the Chapel. Dr. F. P.
Veuable presided over the meeting
and made the address of welcome.
He said that he regretted that the
crowded condition of the town and
the-college caused the number of
delegates to be limited to eighty;
but he assured all the delegates, in
behalf of the faculty, the students.
and the townspeople that they were
heartily welcome. Mr. W. D
Weatherford in a short but pointed
address explained the purpose of
the conference, saying that it would
be a working conference. He urged
every delegate to enter into the
spirit of the meetings and carry
back to his institution information
and enthusiasm that will be of great
value to his fellow students.
Dr. G. H. Detwiler, of Greens
boro, made the principal address.
His topic was, "The Uses of the
Bible for the Average Man." Dr.
Detwiler held the attention of his
audience for over an hour. He has
a distinct enunciation, easy address,
and graceful delivery. Unimpas-
sioned, he treated his subject in a
clear and convincing manner. He
showed that the Bible had under
gone all the doubts, criticism, and
attacks of the last century and that
after all the smoke of battle had
cleared away, it had acquired a
new meaning, a saner inspiration,
and a deeper supernaturalism. The
new century, he said, has disclosed
a whole, sane, and inspired Bible
He said that the Bible was not to
be studied by the average man as a
Book of history, science, philosophy,
literature, or theology, but that it
was to be studied first of all as a
Book of life.
In the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium
Saturday morning at nine o'clock,
the conference held its important
morning session. Many helpful
suggestions, both for the student
and the Bible class leader, in regard
to the study of the Bible and the
most effective means for the enroll
ment of new members in the Bible
and Mission Study classes, were
made by the speakers for the morn
ing. Mr. Willis, International Secret
ary of the South, emphasized the
importance of "The Morning
Watch." There should be a defi-
nate time set apart for the daily
study of the Bible, the speaker
said, and in the morning when our
minds are fresh, and before the
temptations of the day are confront
ed, is the time for this study.
WITH SLIGHT EXCEPTION IN
THE INTERIOR
It Is Modern In Every Respect
One of the Best In the
South
The new biological building,
known as Davie Hall, the foundation
of which was laid late last fall, is
now complete with the exception of
a few finishing touches on the inter
rior. Carolina can now boast of a
Biological Building that is as great
an improvement over the old one as
Chemistry Hall was over the old
Laboratory.
The building is situated on the
eastern extremity of the campus,
east of the New East bnilding and
almost centrally between the Carr
building and the Chemistry Hall,
facing the south. It is a neat struc
ture built on the modern plan, of
the best quality of salt and pepper
pressed brick. The proportions are
good, the effect gracefel and impos
ing. The building is fitted with ele
vators and all modern conveniences.
There is not a better planned, better
equipped structnre of its kind in the
South. There are two main floors,
with a commodious, well lighted
basement below and an attic above.
In the basement will be found the
furnace for heating the building, a
large storage room, dark room for
photography, experiment room,
incubator room, and room for plants
and animals.
The main South entrance leads
into an ante - room or hallvvav
which, in turn, leads directly into
the herbarium on the north side of
the building. On the left, towards
the west, is the spacious, well light
ed lecture room, with inclined floor
and seating capacity of two hun
dred. To the right, or the east,
is the general laboratory for zoology
and botany. On ascending to the
second floor, directly over the main
entrance and ante-room is the
complete department library; and
on the north side, directly above the
herbarium, are the private offices
and laboratories of the directors of
the botany and zoology departments.
Towards the west is the laboratory
or advanced study of botany; and
towards the east that fur the
advanced study of zoology. All of
these departments are fiitted with
he most modern appliances and
equipment. A conveniently placed
stairway leads to the photographic
room on the attic floor. The Uni
versity justly feels a pride in this
spacious, well lighted room; for it is
fitted in the most approved style and
no photographic room to be found
in the foremost colleges of the
South and North compares with it.
Though the plan of the building
s simple it is admirably suited to
the very need of the biological de
partment and the arrangement is
most, convenient. As a whole the
structure is in good taste and is just
what the University has needed
basktball teams.
