Whether we went to see the
game in the Capitol City or had,
for various and sundry reasons,
to remain on the Hill, we were
with our team. We know that
the men who represented us and
the state on the football field
fought to the last ditch and did
their part like men. But they
were up agaist a better team that
fought just as hard. We were
beat cleanly and well. We have
no excuses. JNext Saturday we
go up against what is conceded
to be an even better team. But
that does not mean anything
about the score. If we are beat
it will have to be after the two
teams have lined up on the field
and until the last whistle blows
in the fourth quarter.
We have got a hard row to
hoe. Every team that we play
from now to Thanksgiving is a
team thoroughly worthy of every'
thing that we have. Our team
this year has one of the hardest
schedules that any Carolina team
has nad to buck up against. But
that is wnat makes it worth
while. If we lose every game
from A to Izzard we will lose
because we were beat. But as
long as muscle is muscle and
brains remain brains we have the
sublime intention and right of
not getting beat.
. . , .
While the rest of us continue
inactively to pull for a Greater
University the majority of the
County Clubs, following the Pro
Yackety Yack custom, likewise
maintain the established order of
things by holding one organizing
meeting, one feasting meeting,
and one picture meeting. But
there is at least one notable ex
ception to this manner of life
lessness. The Johnston County
Club is really justifying its exis
tence. It is aiding in the secur
ing of new students for the Uni
versity and is aiding in the ex
tension of the usefulness of the
institution to the people of the
state.
Here is a fine opportunity for
the other County Clubs and
they are legion to follow a good
example and start on something
constructive for the good
of the University and ' for
the good of the state. If all the
Clubs should really get into the
thing and try to see how many
new students they could get,
why in a few years from now we
would have a place here so pros
perous that we would not know
it when we returned to our class
reunion in nincteen-unsteen.
Why not start a little something
here and give it a tryout.
"ROOT."
Root, and the world roots with
you,
Knock, and you're on the shelf
ror the world gets sick or one
who'll kick,
Andwishes he'd kick himself.
Root when the sun is shining,
Root when it starts to rain.
If vou haooen to fall, don't he
there'and bawl,
But get up and root again.
Root for your own advancement
Root for the things sublime,
For the chap that's found on the
topmost round
Is the rooter every time.

UNITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENT
Eight hundred students united
with a common purpose and led
by a faculty of seventy-five men
determined for some end would
be invincible; but all the hosts of
heaven fighting against one an
other and pulling in opposite di
rections could not overcome three
devils, provided that the devils
had a common purpose, as most
devils do.
We are in the superstitious
condition of the hosts of heaven.
There is not one single, solitary,
hing here about which all the
tudents are agreed or for which
all the students work. If two or
three, a dozen or a hundred stu-
euts try to accomplish some
thing, there are always two or
three, a dozen or a hundred who
oppose that something. Worse
than this opposition, which at
least shows an interest in affairs
here, there are eight hundred
ten, seven hundred ninety, or six
hundred other students who take
no interest at all in the thing.
If it is a Glee Club there are about
forty who take an active sup
porting part, another forty who are
mildly enough interested to know
that there is such a thing as a
Glee Club; about ten disgruntled
individuals who oppose it, and
seven hundred to whom the Glee
Club is about as vital as an im
mediate solution of the query
Resolved: That fire is mightier
than water. Dramatics, the pub
lications, the Y. M. C. A., the
obtaining of good men as new
students, athletics, and every
thing else here are in the same
small boat as far as support goes.
We will venture the statement
that out of eight hundred stud
ents here last year there were six
hundred who knocked the teams
and coaches for something during
the vear. Of the other two
hundred at least one ninety-nine
did not take enough interest in
athletics to know what to knock
about.
The faculty, too, are in the
same suoerostitious condition as
the celestial hosts.
Now we submit that tor so
long as the faculty and the stud
ents are divided among them
selves and against themselves,
for iust that length of time will
we remain a small and dissatis
fied potato among other potatoes.
Further than that we submit
that until there is a concerted
movement among the faculty and
the studeuts for better things,
anduntill both the faculty and
the students get together with
the common purpose of pushing
things that are already started,
and of starting new things, until
that time we shall remain about
where we are. If we are ever lo
amonnt to anything it will be
because we decide to work for
it. We can't merely stand around
and exhibit a line crop of indi
vidualism gone to seed. Indiv
idualism is all right when wisely
administered. But when there

are things to be done it Is not
the individual who does them.
Then the man that counts is not
the one who is eternally thinking
about how he looks and how he
can act to impress people with
the mighty weight of his indiv
idualism. The man that counts
then, though, is the one who can
forget himself and his impress- j
ious and get down with other men j
who are made of clay and work
for the things that are to be
accomplished.

, WHEN ON THE SIDE LINES.
Side-line etiquette? Although
it has fallen very much into disuse
here, there is still such a thing
This etiouette means that on
the football, field no one wil
make it necessary for the
game to be stopped ana
the crowd to be requested to get
back behind the ropes in order
that the teams may continue to
play. It means that no one will
direct unseemly and prepish re
marks against the other team or
aa-ainst the individual members
of the other team. It does not
allow the spectators to hiss an
opponents coach, especially when
that coach happens to have been
a former Varsity captain here.
It goes further than this, even.
It causes the students to refrain
from crowding upon the field dur
ing practice and thus interfering
with the work of the coaches and
players in getting us out a good
team. It means that we will be
considdrate. In fact it just
means that we will continue to
be gentlemen even though we are
at the same time spectators at a
football game or practice.
;
At the V. P. I.Game in Raleigh
we appreciated the yells our bro
ther college gave for our team. Yet
high as was our appreciation of
the spirit which caused them to
support their fellow institution,
our pleasure was tinged with
one regret that two hundred
fifty University students could
go to Raleigh with the expressed
purpose of supporting and yelling
for their team and then allow stu
dents of A & M. who happened
accidentally to go to the game
to beat us out yelling for our men.
The support the the A & M. bovs
gave our men made our feeble at
tempts look like a dinky engine
beside the real thing, jnow we
appreciate our brother collegians'
support; but it isn't right for us
to depend entirely upon them to do
the yelling for us. Let's get
out and have a little yell and
sons: practice once or twice a
week and see if we can't do some
thing on our own hook,
