ON TO RICHMOND Durno and Company Durno and Company, the second number in the Star Course Series, reg istered an unqualified success in Ger tard Hall Saturday night. The per j'ormance, which was bulletined for 8: 00 p. m., really began at 9:20 p. m. This was not due to any fault of the showmen but rather to some slackness on the part of the management at Chapel Hill. Notwithstanding such conditions the hall was packed from the bald-head row to the top of the gallery. The -performance consisted of the trick3 of Durno interspersed with short comic personifications - by his assist ant, i . The' tricks were good and i im penetrable in the main and the comic element kept the audience well amused all the way through. TheMrish-German parody on Dixie and the comic poem an epic descrip tion of the courtship, -marriage, and marriage totrrof a Hoosiercouple were especially. enjoyable to alk- The tricks ' accomplished with a marked coin or a watch were good but the substitution of Durno for the stage hand inside a bound trunk and sealed bag,' all accomplished inside two min utes, completely phased the audience. Professor Noble, The Prince of Mass Meeting Speakers spoke with his usual feeling. He told of a team he had seen here in the past, that had gone thru its season winning by small scores and once meeting with -a tem porary set back, but withal slowly but steadily improving until in their final struggle on Thanksgiving day they bad come out victorious. Professor Noble said that he believed that thi was exactly what the team was to do. The program of the convention is most elaborate and interesting. Dur ing the three days speeches will be made by many prominent men, among whom will be Dr. J. H. Pratt of the State Geology Department. During the discussion of the queston "Is the Drainage of North Carolina Carolina Lands Practical?" informa tion will be given ; by representatives Whiting Brothers RALEIGH", N. C.

R. . E. Davis to Leave The university faculty has suffered another loss that will be hard to bear Dr. R. O. E. Davis, who has so long been known as one of the best friends of the students and as one cf the kind est and most courteous gentleman among the faculty, has accepted , government' position at Washington, D. C. Dr. Davis has received several splendid offers before this but his love for this institution has kept him al ways here. The position in Washing ton however, is of such a nature that he could not, in justice fo himself, re fuse it. There are few men in the fac ulty who occupy a firmer seat in the hearts of the students than Dr. Davis Those who have had the pleasure to nave been under him or associated with him will ever have in their hearts a warm place for Dr. Davis. First Mass Meeting in Honor of Defeated Team Just to show the team that the stu dent body is behind it and to tell how they felt about Saturdays game, a mass meeting was held in Gerrard Hall Monday night. It was the first mass meeting ever held after a defeat, the first time that the student body had felt so pleased with the work of a de feated team that they came together in a mass meeting to express this feel ing. Short speeches were made by Dr. Henderson, Dr. Patterson, Pro fessor Noble, and Mr. Wharton, a member of the first foot ball team ever organized here. Before calling on any of the speakers Frank Graham made a few minutes talk in which he quoted statistics to show that Carolina outplayed V. P. I. Saturday in every stage of the game except for the punting. Dr. Henderson disageed with the current opinion that American ; Seniors 0"Sophs. 0 The Seniors and Sophomores tugged manfully for 35 minutes Friday, but neither side could score. It was a 0 to 0 tie in favor of the Seniors. In the first half the Sophs played a little the best ball, keeping the play mostly in Senior territory, but the second half reversed these conditions. The most spectacular feature os the game was a 30yd. run by J. S. Patterson, the Senior quaterback. The Sophs were gradually pushed the ball toward the Senior goal line, but soon the Senior line took a brace and held the Sophs for downs. On the third down the Sophs attempted an onside kick, and "Jim Patt", got the ball on the Senior 20yd. line, and returned it to midfield The line plunging of Teague for the Seniors was good, and the defen sive work of Nixon at center excellent Koariguez neia tne line well, ana Lloyd played a nice end. Avery's punting far out distanced that of hi opponents. Cook played the best game for the Sophs. His all round playing was of the best order. ' Both teams played ragged ball, the backs of both teams failing to pick their holes properly. Both lines held well at times, but often left large holes in their formation. They seemed to be about evenly matched, and the game was one continual shifting the ball from one end of the field to the other and back again. The result of this game makes a tie in tne Championship benes. j he Seniors and Juniors play next and the outcome of that wme decides the class championship. The Sophs lost to the Juniors and tied the Seniors. This puts them out of the race. It is now between 1910 and 1911 as to who gets championship honors. The game comes off Friday. districts. The drainage of swamp lands is not only of interest to the people of North Carolina, but also of Eastern Virginia and South Caolirna, and any one in these States interested in the subject Pis cordially invited to attend. The Convention will be held on Nov 10, 11, and 12, 1909. Meets in Newbern The second Annual Convention of the North Carolina Drainage Associa tion held in New Bern. N C. promises to be one of exceptional interest and should be of considerable value to the cause of drainage in North Carolina. Not only will there be a number of ad dresses by prominent men, but there will also be open discussion of the gen eral drainage problem, and of the drainage law passed by the Legislature of 1909. The interest in the drainage of the swamp lands of this and adjoin ing States is constantly increasing, and as the different sections of the State become better acquainted with teams working of the drainage law, there put victory above fair play. He said will he a still greater interest in this that at no institution is there a stron- work. One o the objects of this Con ger desire -for victory by fair means vention is to disseminate more widely than at the University of North Caro- certain information regarding the Una. operation of the Drainage Law.
