HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Dramatic Club Gives Excell
ent Performance
Plaving far above the standard
expected by even the most ardent
admirers of dramatics, the Uni
versity Dramatic Club made a
splendid impression Friday night.
"Arms and the Man" a supposed
ly very difficult play to act, was
pteseuted with the greatest ease.
The play was a rich comedy, full
of laughs all the way through.
A packed house greeted the ac
tors and there was an abundance
of well deserved applause.
Charlie Coggins, who for three
years, has played a leading role
in Dramatics, was the brightest
star. lie played the part of
Hluntschli to perfection. Weeks
as Mojor Petkoff acted up to the
high standard that he has set in
previous plays. In the role of
Mrs. Petkoff was W. I). Kerr,
who deserves much praise. The
art of Sergius was handled very
easily by E. L. Applewhite. His
work was unusually good. Bruce
Webb, playing the part of Douka,
the maid, acted the part well,
lie makes a good looking young
lady, as does L. K. Meredith, who
played the role of leading lady.
There was not a weak spot in
the cast. Everyone played well
and deserves great praise.
During the intermission be
tween acts, Dr. Archibald Hen
derson gave a very interesting
talk about Bernard Shaw, the
author of the play. He highly
complimented the members of the
cast for their excellent work.
The Dramatic Club left Mon
day morning for the annual Eas
tern tour. While on the trip they
play in Goldsboro, Washington,
Raleigh and one or two other
towns.

Monroe right end, and Whita
ker left end, are both strong de
fensive ends, good at boxing the
tackle, and excel in receiving the
forward pass. Simmons was a
close bidder for the end position
and Burnett, but for his weakness
in handling the forward pass
would have copped a place. Er

Eagle and Telfair are both strong

splendid all round work. He

Musical Organization Pleases
Large Audience
The first formal opportunity of
hearing the Glee Club was afford
ed the students last Thursday
evening. True it is that the
singers had been carolling in
practice every afternoon for some
weeks, but they shone forth in
full glory for the benefit of the
visiting girls last Thursday.
The program was clever and was
well received. The chorus con
tained no exceptionally good
voices, but showed careful train
ing. Preston Epps stands head
and shoulders above the rest of
the con;pany in talent, and his
selections were heartily applaud
ed. The parody sextette from
Lucia was also forced to respond
to several encores. The duet
"He Was All Dressed up and
Had Nowhere to Go," sung by
Leicseter Chapman and Charlie
Mangu.n with guitar accompani
ment was enthusiastically receiv
ed, and encored time after time.
The Mandolin Club was larger
than last year and was exception
all v good.
Florida Club Meets
The Florida Club held its first
meeting of the year on Tuesday
night at the Phi Delta Theta
liall with nine members present.
The following officers were elect
ed: Dr. Herty, Pres. Emeritus;
W. P. Fuller, Pres.; N. A. Reas
oner. Set.; J. M. Parker, 1st
Vice-Pres.; W. W. Kirk, 2nd
Vice-Pres.; F. W. Norris, Treas.;
II. M. . Kanner, Chief Custodian
of the Gator; D. H. Killeffer,
Gator Bait; F. H. Horton, Goober
Grabber. The Gator was select
ed as the club emlem. After the
business was over, an excellent
feed was enjoyed by all,
There is . now on sale, at
Kluttz's, a beautiful booklet, at
the ridiculously low price of 25
cents. It is "O. Henry: a Memo
rial Essay," written by Dr. Hen
derson. The proceeds are for the
O. Henry Memorial Fund. It
makes a dandy Xmas gift.

far-carrying power of Coleman's
unerring toe. ' Coleman outdis
tanced all opposing punters by a
score of yards and this fact alone
makes him invaluable to any
class lineup. Fitzgerald and
Nance are powerful backs both
on the defense and offense, and
Nance passes the ball almost half
the distance of the field. Paty
yields only to the punting of the
Sophomore Captain. "Rusty"
Davis of the Sophomores has
both defensive strength and of
fensive dash.
Pike, of the Juniors challenges
comparison with thelinc-riddling
Nance but does not quite measure
up in all round play.
Ranson is a strong end, a good
half, and a paralyzing secondary
defensive back. He is a good
utility man for this mythical
eleven.
Basket Ball Prospects Bright
For This Season
With the arrival of coach Doak
on the Hill, basket ball practise
has bey un in earnest. About
fifteen men answered the first call
and probably three times that
number will be out before the
week is over. Practise will be
held every night in old commons
until arrangements arey made for
the use of the gym.
Capt. Long, Tennant, Keesler,
Home wood, Davis, and Andrews
of last year's squad are out again.
"Yank" Tandy, who played
enough last year to show that
he has the goods, is suffering
with scarlet fever at present, but
wiil probably be in the game
before the season is well started.
Much new material is in evidence,
and it is expected that the class
series will produce several good
men.
Coack Doak, who is to direct
the team this year, needs no in
troduction here. As one of the
most popular- players in the
Carolina Base Ball League,, and
as coach at Guilford College he
is well known throughout the
state.
Practise in the class series has
also started, and prospects are
very encouraging. Several men
have already answered the call
and more are coming out every
day. The first game of the class
series is to be played next week.
The first game is to be played
on Saturday night with the quin
tette from the Durham Y. M. C.
A. They are said to have a fast
bunch of players this year, and
consequently, a good game is ex
pected. Although not yet in
good trim, Carolina's squad is
fast being rounded into form, and
expects to start the season with
a victory. Nothing definite is
known yet as to who will play
Saturday night, but the team will
probably be picked from the fol
lowing: Long (Capt.), Tennant,
Holding, Davis, Andrews, Home
wood, and Fuller.
