Saturday Carolina got a taste
of revenue. Carolina 5, Davidson
0. It. was sweet.
The Varsity went to Charlotte
with the determination to win.
The 'Students intended for the
Varsiiv to wipe Davidson off the
footii iil map of North i Carolina,
sweep ,ip the ground with her,
and then bury the Red and Black
under a score of, say. not less
than 30 to 0. Nothing doing.
!The "Little Electric Machine",
.was ;iJOt; quite agreed to that
i prospectus and sp, proceeded to
Register a kick. Her kicking
kept down the score.
'i The game, while a spectacular
one, was not a very good exhibi
tjion of football. V (Die play went
i'n flashes and blunders. It was

est; but one that causes coaches
to swear-if they are in the habit
first a brilliant play, and then a
fumblewas the order of the
game. - ? i - ; . ;
J In the first three quarters Caro
lina had things her way. She
took the ball time after time
down the field until she was right
on Davidson's goal line; only to
lose it on downs. Then David
would punt out of danger and
Carolina begin to carry the ball
i'n to the Red and Black's territory
again; only to lose it again. For
Whenever , Davidson was backed
,down upon her goal line, she put
up the goods and held our team
to a standstill. Then her line
ras inpentrable.
b, It.wa in the second quarter
that Carolina succeeded in carry
ing tb,ej pigskin, across Davidsons'
goal line. A forward pass from
Weston, , to. i Manning put the
Varsity in striking distance of
hgpaAi (but Davidson held t them;
The play seesawed a short while
until gains by Coffin and Wake

when Davidson stiffened up, got
the ball and punted out again,
Carolina brought the ball up
again only to lose it again. The

had been ,, brought back, and
Davidsbrtf ipenelized for off sides,

New York, City alumni of the
University of North , Carolina
were . treated to a rare entertain
ment on Saturday jiight, October
14th. - Instead, of. arranging the
usual kind pf dinner with spick-and-span,
fables, a,, profusion of
knives and ; forks,, aggressive and
unnecessary waiters, and a series
of indigestible dishes with French

"beefsteak , dinner" at Reisen

subjects had been" tabooed, as the

their college careers, and were

The hit ot the. evening was
made by the alumnus who gave
the authentic version of why 1
certain Goldsboro studenj. many,
years ago, escaped being expelled
for playing poker. It seems thai
the, astute educator who was then
President of the University had
accumulated what seemed to be
incontrovertible evidence against
the young gambler. He sum
moned the Goldsboro student to
his office and began the interview,'
rather mysteriously, with this
question : j
"Now, Mr. ...... what would
you think if , you came down to
my house one night, looked
through the window and saw,
engaged in a game of poker, say
LMajor Cain,i and, .Professor Troy,
and Doctor Battle, and Dr. Hume,
and Professor Alderman, and
myself?"
'I don't

the , youth,
"but I don't- hesitate; to say
I
think you'd skin 'em alive." ;
The ready, compliment, com
,bined with a promise ."not to do
it any more", said the alumnus
who, regaled thq jdinner guests
with this yarn, was responsible
for the Goldsboro student's stay-

contests for the .Jear. The an
nual debate , with Pennsylvania
will be in Gerrard; Hall probably
the first week in December. A The
exact date has not yet been de
cided upon. The question sub
mitted by Pennsylvania is: '.'Re
solved that the Forrest and Min
eral Lands now in-the possession
of the Government in the several
states, should be Retained by the
Federal Government." The
Union has the proposition under
cpnsideration.'2'..b, basnot ,yet

The pentangular debate between
Vanderbilt, Tulane, Georgia
Virginia and Carolina is still qn
Carolina debates Tulane, probr
ably at Chapel Hill jand Vanderf
bilt off .the, HiU on the. same night.
The .questions has, of course, nof
yet been decided upon-. The Uni
versity of South , Carolina, is also
desirous of establishing debating
relations with Carolina. , , It is
possible that- Carolina will dej
bate "Carolina" at Charleston on
the same night the Pennsylvania-
Carolina contest takes place;
Nothing definite has been decidr
ed upon yet. The . Union is still
considering whether or notan addl
ed debate will .handicap Carolina
in the pentan jular.
The University holds a premier
position in debating, and in the
pentangular debates the strongest
team of the -colleges she debates
will contest her. Vanderbilt won
two last year and Carolina took
one out of two. It is necessary
for Carolina to win from both
Vanderbilt and Tulane in order
to tie Vanderbilt at the end of
the second round.

BUCK QUARTETTE
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Second Star Course Makes
a Big-Hit with the
Galleries
MRS. BUCK'S RECITATIONS APPLAUDED MUCH
Ladies Present to a Packed House an
Entertaining Progam Consisting
of Readings, Solos, Duets, Quar
tettets and Encores
The Beulah Buck Quartet Co.
of the Alkahast Lyceum System
entertained the University com
munity for two hours in Gerrard
Hall last Tuesday evening. The
singers came in with the rain ;
but inclement weather did not
prevent the gathering of a large
crowd. At 8:30 the ladies that
compose the company had not
pht in an appearance. To quiet
impatience Secretary Hall an
nounced that the performers were
on their way from Pickard's.. A
few moments later their arrival
was greeted with applause, and
they forthwith presented a pleas
ing program.
Mrs. Buck has a clear refined
soprano voice and sings with
pleasing expression. But her
readings and recitations were
more popular with the crowd.
Her elocution was rarely heavy
but was largely composed of
humorous impersovations. Af
ter executing a reading entitled
"Just a Little Nigger", she was
encored six times and gave
in rapid succession, "That
Little Band of Gold", "an Im
personation", "Not so Very Bad",
"Speak up Ike and 'Spress Your
self,'' and "This Ear, That Air."
The work of the other ladies
was also well received. ' Miss
Paddock's voice, is sweet arid has
a charming sympathetic quality.
Mrs. Harmon's substitute has a
rare contralto. Miss Jones pos
sesses a contralto with arange of
two and one half actaves and
sings easily throughout it's com
pass. Every effort was encored
at least once and sometimes more.
The North Carolina Historical
Society met Monday night, and
reorganized. Dr. Hamilton who
presided, briefly outlined the. his
tory of the Society since its or
ganization in 1844, and added
that hitherto the Society had not
been doing the work which the'
State demanded of it. He asked
for the earnest support of every
member, and judging from the
members present about thirty
there is reason to believe that the
work of the Society will be more
satisfactory. Short papers
dealing principally with ' North
Carolina history will be read at
each monthly meeting. The fol
lowing officers .were elected for
the year: President, Dr. H. M.
Wagstaff; Vice-president, J. H.
Rand; secretary, C. K. Burgess.
