J 4 PROGRESS OF TEAM DURING THE AVEEK After; Watching thejfork of the Squad, an Expert Gives lis, Views thetTeam ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN WORK OF SOME Weaknesses and Strong Points of Individual Player Pointed Out. The Team as a Whole Needs More Support From the Btudents . During the past week the foot ball team has undergone several radical changes'. ' ' Shifts - haiye been made in the lineup in an -effort ; to; get more 'ped bettrr team Work 'and; improve ' the de- tenstve; streigui or the team? Manning; lsbeing used at guard instead ofend. Coffin- has been shifted, to..fuTlback"; wlier6 'his , punting can be used to greater advahtage.'1 Captain Winston, "Siegler, W;akelej and; Erwin have attempted ; at5 half back. Long has shown good form in defensive work and if he continues to pro- gross will more than likely earn a permanent job at one of the ends. 1 It is determined by those in charge to have a team of fight ers who display aggressiveness in their work and several of the1 men found wanting in the essential qualifichtios'aridareslatedtogive way to, players who indicate pos session of more of the "real stuff", f Strange 5 although a light man, has shown good quali ties at ( times and is one of! the "best -open field tacklers on the team. Heis still very raw in many respects but in striking contrast ; to several others 1 he shows snap' and -aggressiveness in" his efforts. ' Tillett is some what ol a dissapointment as a field general. The team has a lot of confidence in hint and he is a good man carrying the ball. His inability ft) run the team wit u accuracy, good judgment -and snap is very apparent. He still lacks' the 'domineering qualities that characterize a good quarter back. There is & lot V)f strength' in the offensive work of the team that has not- been Hn evidence heretofore and it remains with tneiffin w'lio gives the signals' to bring out at the proper lime the full worth of the teams of fense. Small's .work continues ta be a feature. A, bardoonsistent worker and a - player who invari ably turns jUp at ther.right time, this big fellow has won the ad miration .. of us all. r No man can do more than his best, but this fellow alWaysntries to'do a little more. , He makes no complaints, whea laboring under a handicap, works hard always and gives the best thkt is In himat all times. . Applewhite t and - Vfeuable have both been out of the lineup on ac count, of injuries.- Venable is slow in mending, but;, when 'he comesitohikSwn; should strength en the teatif considerably.1 Ap plewhite is a player who posses ses good,, possibilities but is still verv 'raw' in "many " respects." He Vp a. Wif.. mesas could be aesired out shows inconsistence in his general work. He has long way to go before his iilafl becomes -what it should be, but it's in him and we believe he will show it before long:. I ; Deans has improved greatly re- cently and has received first call for one of the line positions. This' man has been particularly con spicuous for his erratic, slow, in-' consistent work up to seveml days ago but he seems to have come around at last.- If he can hold on to his present decree of earnestness' and "put on more steam" he; should make the go in fine style. Big Abernathy is still sluggish in his work and very slow. I He is a hard- worker 1 u t d es not always get iheVesultshis strength and natural ability justify. He is slow' lining up and lacks the "mental strength" to dnw him-' self when in distress. lie is a favorite among the boys a good earnest- 'Worker 1 but very crudiv He will improve though and if he comes to his own and will be a tower of strength to his team. Ritch and Crutchfiekl are doing only fair. ' They' both lack the: cleverness necessy ' to oppose the class of mm they will be pitted against in the later games. Ritch, the better defensive man but while still a - comparatively poor passer, is getting the call over Crutchfiekl. The latter is an earnest; hard worker andmay land a regular place in the line at any time. Nicholson has shown some im provement but is still very raw.

IVH IIKI A UWK live, II ;C0ND ACT !IN SIDESHOW 4- ia Lively Performance Seniors Defeat Sophomores br a Score of 5 i 0" The second act of the side show took place Wednesday 'afternoon when the senior! defeated the sophomore warriprs of the grid- iroh by the score of fi to 0. It of 5 4nt a iiaiu iuult ii cnniesr atifl nnp marked bv not infreauent- indi victual plays that .appealed to the lookers on fromlthe side lines. Kahson's going doVn under punts for the sophomores and Barker's jreat kick of the ball while lying on ;the ground the consequence of Lowell's pass were the most sptacular features of the game. (Tjie ball, be it understood, and no Barker, was lying on the ground when the kick referred to above was pulled off. Cowell imj passed the ball aibove Barker's head, when he was about to punt. The ball rolled off on the ground ana Barker administered a vicious kick to it while it was rolling there.) Tommy Price's playing deserves mention too, it was quite characteristic. Smith's punt into lRed" Allen's back also attracted attention. v Jr , - . 'he game on the whole was a ood one. Barker and Stacy for ihef seniors made good, consistent L'ains with the ball.-? The seniors ran; their team well and punted well. Th.-y outweighed the sophs considerably and started off as if they were going to pile up a large score, but they couldn't keep the pace. The sophomores appeared to be the weaker of the two teams. They, however, were able to keep thescore down as well .as they did owing to two things: Cowell's badj passes, lor the seniors: and their own hard steady playing. The only score of the game came when the-seniors had brought the ball down the field n the third quarter to the sophs Ithiril yd. line, only to lose it on ilowns The sophs brought the halt out 5 yds. and attempted t jiun.t, but it was broken up and Cowell iel on the ball on the three yd. line The seniors were given back, the 5 yds. which the sophs had been allowed to bring thejball. out, and a touchdown was declared.

Mr. Hanes, of Greensboro; the official photographer of the Yackety Yack, is in town ready to take pictures ' for the book. Owing to the long distance he has to come, it is especially necessary that every one who has to have a picture made to be on time. Mr. Hanes intends to take all individual pictures 1 between Monday, Oct. 30, and Nov. 4. This flattering offer: is made to seniors and others who have indi vidual pictures made: That to all who have work 4one of a - grade $8.00 or more per dozen,-and who come to the gallery on time, a discount of 20 per cent, will be given- The photographer, wil return later in the f fall to take group pictures.'

The contract 'for the publica tion of the annual has again been given to the Stone Printing and Manufacturing C o m pa ny, qf Roanoke, Va. This company h as been publishing the ! annual for tne past two years and has given excellent satisfaction. The con tract with the company; calls for sihe delivery of the book by the 15th of April, ,; Lee is Elected Captain J. R. Lee, premier pitcher of last year's victorious team," was last Wednesday elected captain of the baseball team to 'fill the vacancy caused by the failure of "Bull" Hasty to return to college tins, year. The "N. C." men present at the election were Page, Pernber, Hanes, Edwards, and Lee. Lee was Carolina's mainstay in the box last season. He won every game ne pucnen, ana on two memorable occasions held our friends .and rivals from Vir ginia without, the. shadow of a score. . His, selection as captain meets with the approval of the students, who believe that he will lead Carolina through another brilliant season. . , t Lee was the sensation - of last year's college baseball. Only the year before he had been the class team pitcher, and no one dreamed of his ever making the Varsity- except probably ; himself, But when the time came he was there with' the goods, and didn't fail to deliver them. A. M. Atkinson, a member of the' senior class, was elected captain of the track team to fill the vacancy created by the fail ure of Joe Hoffman to return to college. Atkinson has been a member of the team for two years and. has done some excellent work. He-holds the State record for the nammer throw, ana is one of "Bloody" Nat's favorites. His election is regarded as a happy one, ',': SAILORS GO DOVN BEFORE VARSITY Crew of the U. S. Training Ship Fraiiilj No Match for the We and Blue TOUCHDOWN WITHIN TWO MINUTES OF PLAY Carolina Outplayed and Outclassed the the Sailors, but the Slippery Con dition of the .yield Prevented the Score Being Larger. Saturday afternoon Catolina beat the Franklin Training Ship's team 12 to 0 in one of the cleanest games of the season. The bad wind and the slippery condition of ; the wet gridiron,' ; however, rendered the play uncertain. The wind . made the catching : and bringing ,up of punts rrather dif ficult for the onen , playing back on defense; and, the ! slippery con dition of the field in placed made the footing uncertjaini and run ning? difficult.; As a result of these things men carrying the ball slipped and fell at -inopportune moments, and our men play ing back: -to, bring ? up punts did not bring them up; well. They often failed .to get under the ball, and acbuple of times, when they got under it -.they failed to make the catch good. r .. I Carolina clearly out-played and out-classed the sailors in almost every particular, especially in blocking. . Indeed the team that i played against the Sailors Satur day was a totally different one from that .'whkh ! played Wake Forest and Bingham a few weeks ago. They worked together and played hard. , -Carolina; made her first touch down in two minutes of play. She received the ball from kick-off on her 20 yard line and ran it up the field for 25 yards. Carolina then punted and recovered the ball on t he Sailors' 35 yard line. Seigler then; made a 10 yard gain and followed it with a 5 yard. Wake-, ley gained 2 yard, whence a beau tifully executed forward pass Tillett to Long carried the ball across for a touchdown. Coffin punted out and Tillett kicked goal. Carolina started things next by kicking off to the Sailors, who after a few pjays had to punt. Then Carolina carried the ball to Franklin's 6' yard line only to ' lose it on downs. v The 'Sailors" took the ball then and finding the J rjght side of our line weak pro ceeded to tear ' it oocn for the ' next few plays. First one of their backs would buck it and then : another each time for a gain. They took the ball on their f yard line and made consecutive ' gains of 3, 8, 5, 16; 9, 3, and 12 yards, bringing it to our 48 yard line before being forced to punt. 1 After that however, they were ''" unable to do any severe damage, although they often made good ' gams, and excelled our men in bringing up punts. During the remainder of the first quarter and throughout the second and third quarters noth" ing special happened. The " ball
