TAR HEE ll I i i OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 18, 191- VOL. 24 NO. 11 CAROLINA SHOWS HER WINS FROM MacDonald Makes Four Long and Homewood Star. Team Looks Surprisingly Good. Invigorated by the cold, brisk wat'ier, and inspired by 1,800 cheering spectators, including some 2)0 stylish Salem girls, the Carolina and Davidson football teams met and contended in their annual struggle at Winston-Salem last Saturday, Those who left the grounds a few minutes early to avoid the rush were sat islied that that the score was 41-0 for Carolina, but in the last part of; the game, when Tandy, Cowcll and some of the others had repaired to the hotel to dress for the dance at Twin City Club, Davidson took it out on our scrubs and ran a. touchdown over them. They failed to kick goal. The game began in the first quarter, but not until the second period ''could it be said to have really gotten started. The first til'toen minutes were more like signal practice for Caroliua, and although the lighter Presbyterian team did prevent any scoring, -this was nvostlv ttuc to- a iacK oj ability to penetrate our line. In the second quarter wi.h the liall Davidson's 14-vard line, Keid V gained seven yards over right guard, and McDonald followed with seven around left end for a touchdo wn. Tandy kicked goal. During the same period, with the ball on Davidson's 31-yard line, our men came across with the required punch. Tayloe pined five yards; McDonald eight; Long made two around right end, and McDonald followed with seventeen. R e i d gained two over center, and Mc Donald travelled the four yards between him and the goal line, making a second touchdown. Tandy again kicked with precis ion, scoring a goal. Still another touchdown was made in the second quarter; this one by Homewood, who, while he has played four years of star football, has never had the pleas ure of making a touchdown for old Carolina." Blocking a kick, lie recovered the ball and dashed through the scattered Davidson team for a tally. He was soon Hie delighted recipient of num erous congratulatory telegrams from Carolina students who saw a continuous report of the game in Chapel Hill. "Yank'Uid the kicking stunt once more. Early in the third quarter Tandy tried a drop-kick, but for the first time, his effort was un successful. With the ball on Davidson's 20 yard line, Tayloe gained six yards around right end. Parker made seven and McDonald seven for a touchdown. Tayloe punted out to Long on 'he twenty yard line, and Tandy kicked goal. In the last period, Carolina made steady gains until the ball Was . on Davidson's six yard line. HIDDEN POWER DAVIDSON 41 TO 6 Touchdowns; Tandy, Signals were called for a touch dowu, and McDonald obeyed or ders for the fourth time, increas ing our score six more. Tayloe punted out to ParKer, who fum bled. Only one more touchdown was scored by Carolina. Walker, of Davidson, punted to our 30 yard line, to Long, who broke off a piece of glory for himself when he ran through all of Davidson's eleven for a touchdown. This made six touchdowns for the Tar Heels, four of which McDonald scored. That McDonald boy is a sensation when it comes to get ting ground behind him.

WAS A GREAT PLAY WELL PRESENTED "The Servant in the House" Enjoyed By Audience Charles Rann Kennedy's great play, "The Servant in the House," was presented to an enthusiastic audience in Gerrard Hall Monday evening, November 15. The na-; ture of the. play hardly invites boisterous applause, but it was clear, from thesilence of the aud ience and the caning necks in the gallery, that every word in this 'wordy, play was jj followed eagerly. Though the. play con tains too little action, especially in the first three acts the dia-j logue is so penetrating that one's attention is fixed from the begin-J ning or at least the middle - to the end. There are ' a number of stirring dramatic moments; also a number of scenes in which the emotion is pitched high and is sustained with remarkable skill. The story, merely as a story, is hardly unusual; but the manner in which it is made to evolve through the conflict of character with character, and ; the ideas with which the story is freighted, are the outstanding elements of greatness in the play. The presentation was eminent ly successful. The setting, a sim ple interior, was 'easily managed ; because it sufficed for all five acts, i The acting was excellent.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN SPEAKS TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNIH Great Orator Draws Large Audience to Mem orial Hall Sunday; Makes Two Speeches The magnetic name of William Jennings Bryan drew into Memo rial Hall Sunday morning at eleven o'clock in spite of the raw rainy weather, an audience of al most 1500 people students and townspeople, at least one-third of whom were women. Mr. Bryan discussed the Euro pean War in his morning speech, its magnitude and danger to neutrality; the false philosophy from which it has sprung, that might makes right; and finally the way out and the road to peace. He spoke again at ,2:30 p. m. on "The Making rff a Man." Mr. Bryan's last trip to the University was made about 1895. President Graham, in his intro duction said: "Since then a great many things have happened to us, the world, and to Mr. Bryan. No man has been the c&nter of a more complex struggle for hu man rights, no man has been buried more times with more en vious ostentation and no man has risen more regularly totne cham pionship of what he believes right." The central thought in Mr. Bryan's first speech is contained in one of his graphic sentences; "If the dogs in Europe, won't stop fighting, don't let us get hydrophobia over here." Thru out, balancing his love of peace was his hatred of the "jingo edi tors, '' who, as he said, actuated by hope of gain, are trying to plunge our country into war by advocating undue preparedness and attempting to scare the peo ple with the bugbear of a possi ble conflict with Japan or with the fate of Belgium. In this connection Mr. Bryan said: "I am a journalist and proud of my profession but not all of its mem bers. If we ever have a war I think the jingo editors ought to be put on the front line and be allowed the glory of dying before anybody else." He furthermore said, "You can no more judge the sentiment of a peace-loving nation by the ravings of the jin go editors than you can measure the depth of the ocean by the foam on its wave." ..- Mr. Bryan emphasized the fact GOOD FICTION ! 470 Leading Novels in List to Select from!

He denoun ced preparedness as a "scaring back and forth." In showing the causes of the great war Mr. Bryan asserted that Europe had the machinery for war, but not for peace; that her guns were more efficient thar her treaties. "I believe a hundred years from now," said he, "the names of Woodrow Wilson and mine wl be linked together as those of two men who helped to make war im possible." . TRINITY DEFEATS CAROLINA IN TENNIS Another Match With TiiniC May Be Played Soon Trinity defeated Carolina las4 week in tennis by winning the doubles and one of the sinsrh matches. The score of the dou bles Was 11-9, 6-4, 6-0 against Carolina. In the singles Combs defeated Lambeth of Trinity 6-4, 6-4. Capehart was defeated by Anderson of Trinity, the South ern intercollegiate champion ol 1913, by the score of 6-2, 6-2. Carolina made a good showing and had many chances to win the match in doubles. Combs was weak at times in pinches; other-, wise Carolina played a strong game. Capehart showed unusual form in getting his serve in the court. He made several aces in the game. In singles Combs played a strong game and easily defeated his man. He showed . much bet ter form than in the doubles. Capehart, however, was nervous in the beginning of the singles with Anderson. He regained his composure loo late to come back and defeat the champion. This is the first match game in Continued on Fourth Paf.
