MR. ALFRED NOYES DELIGHTS U. N. C.
WITH READINGS FROM HIS POEMS
Sincerely Appreciative Audience Hears Great
Poet's Songs of Power, Beauty n
and Romance
Mr, Alfred Noyes delighted
.lie large audience in Clerrard
Hall Wednesday night. Mr.
Noyes is a man of strong person
ality and he thrilled his audience
with expressive reading of his al
ready expressive poems. He
read his poems in such a manner
as to bring out all the rhythm
and music. It was indeed a rare
opportunity to listen to Mr.
Noyes paint such wonderfully
vivid pictures. He was continu
ally greeted with enthusiastic
applause.
Mr. Noyes is not the sort of
man that one would naturally
expect to see as a great poet.
His hair is not long and shaggy,
and his eyes do not roll around
in ''fiuc frenzy." He does not
sigh and gasp and lisp his words,
or exhibit any of the qualities
which we ;ire so accustomed to
think of as belonging to poets.
On the other hand, Mr. Noyes
is a strong, .robust, athletic
l.toking man. Intact he was
capiniu ol the rowing crew .. of
0io:d University, where he
was graduated. He isstill a
young man, being but thirty
live years old.
'I' he first poem which Mr.
Noyes read was his "Nelson,"
and the second was a pem writ
ten since the outbreak of the
present Kurope.iu War, and is an
DAVIDSON'S CHANCES
Presbyterians Have Hard-Working
Team and Good Tacklers
Carolina's game in Winston
Salem Saturday with Davidson,
which is the last one before we
hit Virginia, should prove at
least to be an interesting tea-party.
The Red and Black have
shown plenty of lighting spirit,
hut so far they have won only
two and tied one out of the live
games played. They have scored
71 points to their opponents' 41.
So far the games and their scores
have been as follows:
U 0
D (
IV 7
D 45
D 13
W & L 14
Clemson (
Geo. Tech 21
Wofford 0
Ro'oke Col 0
For Davidson, Black in the
backfield and White in the line
havedoneespecially well. Young
er on right end and C. Walker as
punter have also shown form.
The following is an extract from
the Atlanta Constitution. "The
Davidson bunch impressed every
one with their clean and sports
manlike manner of playing, the
men doing the cleanest tackling
done here in many seasons."
Wm. Owen Co. in Ken
nedy's Great Drama
answer to the statement which
has come from Germany, the
state can do no wrong. In this
poem Mr. Noyes asserts that there
is a power above the state. Not
once did the speake'f mention the
bitter enemy of his country
Germany. ,
Among the poems which pro
duced the heartiest . applause are
"The Highwayman," "The
Lord of Misrule," and "The Song
of Sherwood."
"The Highwayman" is a roman
tic poem which portrays vividly
the love that a tavern keeper's
daughter has for a highwayman,
and how she warned her lover
against the king's soldiers, even
though she knew it would mean
certain death to herself. When
the x'lrVs lover, the highwayman,
heard of his sweetheart's tragic
death, he recklessly exposed him
self to the soldiers and was shot
down. The poem is masterfully
constructed and brimming over
witli the magic spirit of romance."
"The Lord of Misrule" is a
narrative poem of the days of
Oueen Klizabeth told by an old
in keeper.
"The Song of Sherwood" is a
beautiful lyriccalling upon Rob
in Hood and asking him to come
back to his native forest.
5 SOPHS ENLIGHTEN WORLD
Correct a Historical Error and Rectify
Universal Unbelief
It is quite evident that the his
torians of the past and present
have allowed themselves to over
look a historical fact of momen
tous importance. It is these
seemingly small, yet important
corrections (which are daily com
ing lo light either by means of
the latest development in mathe
matics or through the discovery
of ancient manuscripts) that
prove the falsity ol those histori
cal facts handed down to us from
obscure writers. The correction
is this (and it might be well to
say, that five Sophomores reveal
ed the truth by their answer in a
recent history quiz given by Dr.
Wagstaff): Christianity was in
troduced into England 55 B. C.

Charming . Singer
Music-Lovers
The song recital, given in Pea
body Hall on last Friday night
by Mine. Ilowe-Cothran, niece of
President Wilson ;nd sister of
Dr. George Howe of the Universi
ty faculty, was a distinct success
in every particular. A large' au
dience attended the recital, and
the singer won the admiration of
all with her sweet voice and
charming personality. It was,
indeed, a superior entertainment,
such as could be best appreciated
by those who are themselves
trained in music.
Madam Howre-Cothran was as
sisted by Mrs. A! S. Wheeler at
the piano and Mr. Phil Branson
on the violin.
HARVARD BARS TRADESMEN
Harvard has instituted another
precedent and ' put 'the hd on
book agents, laundrj' men, tail
ors, loan agents or any other sort
of tradesmen who might seek to
do business with the students
after the formal opening of the
University. The ban is not only
placed on the members of ' the
commercial gentry for the open
ing days of college when business
is sure to be rushing for them,
but it is to be kept in place
throughout the year. The only
way that the tradespeople can
gain legitimate access to the cam
pus is when they have been sum
moned by a student and then they
must retire - as soon as the busi
ness has been transacted.
SERVANT IN THE HOUSE
William Owens Company
Gives Play Here Nov. 15
The play to be produced, is
'.'The Servant In the House,','
written by Charles R aim Kenne
dy. William Owen heads the
company of artists, and the au
thor,; Mr. Kennedy, has assisted
Mr. Owen ; in the coaching of
the cast. .. ,,, ,
"The Servant in the House"
contains a story that goes to the
fundamentals and so touches the
common heart. It depicts the
love of a father for; his child,
carrying that love through his
poverty, degradation and bitter
ness. The child, when too young
to realize her father's condition,
has been placed in comfortable
circumstances, but her heart still
cries for her father as her father
cries for her. How that love like
a magnet draws them together
is beautifully told in the play.
Like a song of praise' through
play moves the figure of Manson,
the embodiment of the: ideal, the
vision of love and truth toward
which the world, in spite of wars,
sorrow, and poverty, is slowly
moving. v '

William Owen, who heads the
company of artists who are to
present "The Servant In. the
House" on the Lyceum platform
the coming season under the Red
path management, was for twelve
years at the head of his own com
pany. He has selected the play
ers for this cast from among ac
tors of experience whom he has
known for years. Mr. Owen is
also known in educational circles.
He has addressed a very large
per cent of all the colleges, high
schools and women's clubs in the
middle west.
Since he was twenty-two he
has appeared in nothing but
leading roles. For two weeks he
played a leading role with Julia
Marlowe in McVicker's Theatre,
Chicago, and in the original run
of "Josephine, Empress of the
French," he appeared with Rhea,
the great French actress, in the
Broadway Theater, New York.
The Juniors licked the Fresh
men on Tuesday by a score of 31

CLEMSON DEFEATED
Carolina Shows Traces
Old Time Form
9-7 FAILS TO TELL TALE
Carolina Puts Up Strong
Offense, Keeps Ball in
Clemson Territory
: The games last Saturday was
an encouraging event for Caro
lina. ; The small score of 9 to 7
by which Carolina won from
Clemson makes 'the 'game seem
closer than it really was. Caro
lina had the "ups" throughout
the: game, holding Clemson well
and frequently throwing them for,
a loss. The ball . was kept in
Clemsoh's territory except when
Harris intercepted a forward pass
in the second quarter and carried
the ball to our 20 yard line. "
; On the offensive, Carolina heat
through Clemson 's heavy line for
substantial gains on almost every,
down. , ; Tayloe played with all(
the drive of his old time form,
although h e retired from the"
game - of liis own accord after he
had made a hard ! tackle which "
injured , h i s ; o 1 d . Georgetown
wounds. McDonald's broken field
running; was a .sensation until he
too was hurt.
The absence of Tandy from
center was felt; Jones who had
t a k e n h i s place- being in-;
jured in the lirsc quarter, and
Lurne who played Ins first inter-
rnllftriatp tramp hpimr sn httif iiorl
Three attempts at a field goal by
Long, that failed, might have
been successful had Tandy done
the kicking:
! Reid and Parker both showed '
their ; ability . ; in line , plunging, ;
tearing through Clemson's de-,
fensc with great force. The en-,
tire backfield produced the neces
sary smash. Carolina was twice
within Clemson's five 'yard line1
when time was called. After Clem
son made her first score, the Tar
Heels immediately retaliated by
inarching through them for a
touchdown. There is no doubt
but that Carolina could have
piled up a much larger score had
she so desired. ,?
On the offensive, Tayloe and
Cowell, guards, were impregna
ble, while Ramsey and Bosham
mer, tackles, did their duty well.
Home wood and Love, ends, were
fast and aggressive, and broke
up Clemson's interference consis
tently. " ' ' v'
tar from being a "defeated"'
team, tne l ar iieei are building
up steadily. Recovery from in
juries which have thus far made,
it impossible for Carolina to put
her greatest force into the field
at any one time is the end most
hoped for by the coaches at this
stage. . The absence of a summer
training camp this year was a ,
