HEEL ;: THE I : OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 24 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA. CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY. OCTOBER 14, 1015 NO. 6 n A ?iv! CAMPUS AND STATE UNITE TO CELE BRATE UNIVERSI1TS122 ANNIVERSARY Dr. Kirkland Gives New Interpretation of Pa triotism; Many Telegrams Wishing "Many Happy Returns" Tuesday, Oct. 12, the Univer sity celebrated Founders' Day, commemorating its one hundred and twenty-second anuiversary. As usual the classes and faculty assembled at the Alumni Build ing at ten thirty in the morning-, led by the band marched to Mem orial Hall. The faculty in their caps and gowns, the classes, dis playing their banners and colors, and the band, playing a lively march, formed a procession befit ting the importance of the occa sion. When the audience was assem bled in Memorial Hall, Rev. Ho mer W. Starr commenced the program by pronouncing the in vocation, following which the University Hymn was sung lusti ly by the entire assembly. President E. K. Graham in troduced the speaker of the day, Chancellor J. II." Kirkiand, of Vanderbilt University, in a few eloquent words; expressing the gratification of Ihe JJnivcrsity in having as its guest the far-seeing mart who lias played such an im portant part in making Vander bilt' what it is today. Dr. Kirk, land's subject wass "Patriotism, a New Interpretation." He emphasized the power of tho influence of the individual in preserving" a good government and a happy country. He show ed how our country in thi last century has grown rich through the wonderful inventions and dis coveries that have revolutionized commerce and industry, but how it has not attained happiness for the red Hag of anarchy still is flaunted in the hearts of our cities The true patriotism according to Dr. Kirkland is to take a person, al interest in our civic problems and strive to eradicate the causes that breed dissension and misery. After Dr. Kirkland's address, Dean M. H. Stacy read the names of former Uuiversity stu dents who had become deceased since last University Day. Pres ident Graham then read a few of the congratulatory messages re ceived by him from various Caro lina alumni. The loyalty of the Uuiversity alumni is testified by the. number of messages received not only from this State, but from Carolina men all over the country. Following are one or two extracts from the most char acteristic messages received: "Thirteen lusty young Tar The United Monday and Tuesday, October 18 and 19 With Every $15.00 Suit or Overcoat Sold a $10.00 Double Texture Raincoat will be given away . . All We AsH is COME AND SEE US PARKER $ FISHER, Heels in banquet assembled, send their heartfelt greetings to their Alma Mater, and their congratu lations on her one hundred and twenty-second birthday."

A telagram was received from the faculty of Horner Military Academy, which includes two of Conoludod on third page. TEAM LEAVES FRIDAY TO MEET GEORGETOWN Both Teams of Same Weight; Carolina Line the Faster Friday afternoon at 5:15 tven-ty-two players aud the coaches will leave for Washington, D. C, where they will meet Georcetown Untversit' on the gridiron Satur day. Georgetown has a strong heavy team, and the game will be the hardest Carolina will have until Thanksgiving-. Our team show ed great strength in the Wake Forest game Saturday and stead y improvement has been made all this week. By long hard scrim mages the coaches have whipped into shape a flighting machine of twenty-two men that will be hard to beat. Georgetown played Princeton Oct. 2 and held them to a 10 -0 sc.ore. Princeton, however, had only been out on the field a little more than a week and had insti tuted a new coaching system. The game ended with the ball in Princeton's possession on Georgetown's 1 yard line. On Saturday of last week Georgetown defeated the weak Navy team 100. The George town backs made many good gains on wide end runs because the Navy ends plared in too close; and on the old fasliiqtied cross buck they completely baffled the Middies.

The Most STARTLING ADVERTISING EXTRAVAGANZA Ever Pulled Off on States Woolen SECOND VAUDEVILLE WAS SHINING SUCCESS Memorable Medley ot Music, Dance And Fun The Dramatic Club Vaudeville Monday night, coming" at a time when something was neeeded to break the monotony, was a decided success. It was a laugh from start to finish for those who wit nessed it. This is the' second Vaudeville given for the Y. M. C. A. and Dramatic Club; and it was even more ably presented than the first. There was music, tumb ling, dancing, juggling and min strelsy in many forms, from the time that the curtain rose to the tune of the "White and Blue of Carolina" by Meb Long's Band till the entire company closed the program with "Hark the Sound." That the performance was a suc cess from every standpoint, was the verdict of all those present. Meb Long, with Bob Page, Chas. Mangum, and Slick Beck with composing an inimitable Band, started the program with a medley of popular airs. They were encored and encored till Meb had exhausted his musical vocabulary and had to rit down. Francis Clarkson and Clyde Fore came on next with some well executed Gym stunts which they performed with professional precision. Next came Sid Blackmer and his partner, Bruce Webb the incomparable, in a most graceful presentation of of original fancy dancing. The audience applauded this pair again and again, and would not be satisfied till Snake Simmons and Chas. Coggin had pulled off their parody on the Kiss Waltz. Buck Wimberlv followed with a soli taire act in which he entertained the 'audience with some very clev er juggling, a song and a joke or two sandwitched in. This act was followed by Upchurch and Rush, a black-faced pair who stuttered with their feet. William Wright with his familiar fiddle and his Gypsie friend. Slick Beckwith, played some catchey songs on a violin with guitar accompania tnent. Following this, Sid Black mer, recited two poems from Kip ling and Robt. W. Service. Blackmer's interpretation of their works was admirable and received due applause. Phil Branson, a beer bottle, two guitars, and Chas Mangum next gave some Hawai ian music that suspassed the orig inal quintette. The closing num ber was a minstrel in which Slob Jone's scrap iron quartette gave some close harmony; Coggin and Simmons as end men recounted some touching short stories; and it was a demonstration of min strelsy such as had never been seen in our historic Chapel before. It would be hard to tell which act was enjoyed most; certainly the entire performance was a de- lisrhtful diversion. Mills Co. CAROLINA ELEVEN GIVES WAKE FOREST A 35 TO 0 DISAPPOINTMENT In a Bitterly Contested Struggle Carolina Used Forward Pass With Success and Finished Strong Frequent passes, brilliant runs, numerous fumbles, ideal football weather, an abundance of pep, and a fight-to-the-finish spirit characterized Carolina's 35 to 0 victory over Wake Forest on the Class Field Saturday which Wake Forest desperately sought to avert by almost every method known. The Wake Forest players en tered the game confident of a vic tory or a close game, and the re sult was a serious disappoint ment to them. Thep kept their hope strong, however, until the fourth quarter; for up to that stage of the game Carolina had scored only 10 points. The Bap tists' defence then broke com pletely, and in the fourth quarter Carolina scored 25 of her 35 points, 19 of which forward pass es over left end put across the line. Wake Forest's play became more desperate and bitter as Car olina's score increased. Injuries, substitutions, penalties and little battles of a purely personal na ture between the linesmen, be came frequent. Captain Tayloe and Wright, of Carolina, and Rid dick, of Wake Forest, were in jured to such an extent that they had to leave the field. The nebulous atmosphere of Carolina's play made it hard to single out any particular stars; but Captain Tayloe's 82 yard re turn of a kick off, Long's punt ing, passing and running, Love's two touchdown's following his pretty catches of forward passes, and Reid's line-plunging were shining features ' of Carolina's play. The frequent fumbles of the Tar Heel team, however, dimmed the brilliancy somewhat. Wake Forest made her best gains in the first half from forward and lateral passes, aided by Billings' quick and sure throwing; but in the latter part of the game the Carolina backfield succeeded in breaking up the attempted pass es. . : . . Carolina scored in the first, sec ond and fourth quarters. Tandy's drop-kick from the 20 yard line furnished the first score. Long's 15 yard run around left end in the second quarter made it 10 to 0. In the fourth quarter Hines' touchdown, which put the finish ing touches to Tayloe's 82 yard rtfn, added to two touchdowns by The World's Greatest Tailors, wil display their entire line of sam ples at The Buy Stand, (the old Athletic Store.)j Love and one by Davis on for ward passes made Carolina's to tal 35. The line up was as follows: Carolina Position Wake Forest Lett End Wright Harris Left Tackle ! Roy all. , Blackmori Felt Guard Co well .Parker i Center Tandy. Aberneth v I Right Guard i J.

MUSICIANS TO TAKE TWO ONE WEEK TRIPS Epps and Wright to Direct Musical Syndicate It is necessary to be a diversi fied musician these days indeed to pass even the preliminary, requirements of the combinei': Orchestra, Mandolin Club, and Glee Club.
