The University still continues
to grow in numbers. Neither
wars, nor floods, nor any other ca
tastrophe have been able to halt its
progress. Several unfortunate
events have recently taken place
which, it might be supposed, would
have caused the enrollment to fall
below that of last year. First
came the flood, sweeping away mil
lions of dollars in property and
thus depriving many boys in the
devastated districts of the means
to enter college this fall. Then the
United States army, feeling the
need of recruits, made a vigorous
attack on our forces, capturing 70
stalwart Freshmen who had ap
plied for entrance beside many
upper classmen. 1 Bub in spite of
the ; army and the elements the
registration up to date is consider
ably larger than at this time yast
year. According to Registrar
Thomas J. Wilson, the highest liv
ing authority on this subject, the
names of 1137 men are now on the
enrollment list whereas - at this
time last year thejre were only
1102. This is a fact about the
University of which every Caro
lina man should be ".proud. It
shows that the University is stirr
ed with 'a vigorous life, and it
gives promise of a larger and great
er University in the years to come.
DEFINITE WORD ASSURES
. ROY HOMEWOOD'S RETURN
The rumor concerning Roy
Homewood's return is ' to be sup
ported by the appearance of that
individual himself sometime with
in the next few. days.. His return,
up to this time, has been delayed,
owing to th fact that the construc
tion company with which he has
been jworking has been unable to
find a suitable man to fill his place.
The latest report, however, says
that he will be on the Hill in a
very short time to keep up his
old high standard on the football
team ; taking an active part in the
few games that still remain to him.
SENIOR LAW CLASS MEETS
At a recent meeting of the Se
rior Law Class, L. M. Ruff in was
elected Vice-President and A. W.
Andleton, Treasurer.
Of those officers selected last
year, the following have returned :
Clinton K. Hughesj President; A.
L. Brinkley, Secretary ; and Frank
Hackler, representative on the Stu
dent Council. ,,

MORE MEN NEEDED
ON FOOTBALL SQUAD
COACH PLANS TO TAKE LARGE
NUMBER ON NORTHERN
TRIP NEXT MONTH
Coach Campbell has this week'
emphasized the lack of men for the
varsity squad. Especially are the
big men conspicuous by their ab
sence from the ' field. The short
age of men has caused the coach's
plans to go wrong in respect to
dividing the squad. The original
idea was to have two squads, one
composed of men who would take
part in all the early games, and a
second string bunch who were to
have a separate code of signals
from the first string, and who were
to be the opponents of the varsity
squad.
There will probably be no cut in
the squad for the present, or at
least until there is an increase in
the number and; quality of the
material. There are at present on
the field enough men to form four
teams, all of which are put through
a rigorous practice every after
noon. Team "A", as the varsity
i? styled for convenience, is com
posed of the men who were out
last spring for practice, and who
best understand the methods that
j re employed by the coaches. This
team is subject to change, but is
now composed of Proctor and
Love, ends ; Ramsey and Tayloe,
tackles ; Ingram and Grimes,
guards; Tandy, center; Folger,
Bellamy, and Fitzsimmons, backs ;
and Johnson, quarter. There are
only four Varsity men back this

FORMAL OPENING U.N. C.
HELD FRIDAY SEPT. 25
On Friday, September 25, the
University was formally opened to
the students of the 1916-1917 ses-
sion. 'resident uraham and
Dean Stacy were the chief speak
ers. The members of the faculty
were officially announced.
After the announcements Dean
Stacy was introduced and spoke
for about fifteen minutes on, "Col
lege Student Investments." He
said that each and every student is i
making , an investment, and that
three things must be put into an
investment : work, intelligence, and
character.
President Graham next extend
ed the welcome of the University
to the new men, and made clear
the meaning of college life and
what the University stands for.
"What the University Stands for,"
he said, "is this natural loyalty to
truth, to work, to life at it's full
est and best, that comes through
the intellectual way of life. It's
faith is that through that' way it
may lead men into the richest and
most abundant expression of their
best selves."

. REGULAR OFFICERS
The Junior Law Class held an
-elecion of officers last Friday.

FORERUNNER OF WAKE FOREST
GAME
Wake Forest, with- whom Caro
lina plays the first game of the
schedule, seems to be, from all ac
counts, preparing to give us a good
fight. : September 30 will see the
initial game for both teams. It
will be a double try out, a fact
that makes the contest all the more
interesting. ,
Billings and Howell are coach
ing. There are five letter men
back and promising new material
The old men back are Langston,
center; Olive and Shaw, guards;
McKnight, tackle ; Pace, half
back ; and Captain Parker, full
back. Champion formerly of Ra
leigh 'High School will probably
fill the role of quarter back. Harris
a veteran end, is also bak.
All self-help men who want
work should call at the Y. M. C.
A. at 2 :45 daily.
UNUSUAL NUMBER OF
TO
COACH PEACOGK ROUNDING
OUT 'VARSITY MATERIAL
UNSKILLED FRESHMEN SHOW
PROMISE OF POLISHED PLAY
ERS FOR NEXT SEASON
While varsity football is and
ought to be most important from
the standpoint of athletics at this
time, the work of the freshman
team in general and of their coach,
Mr. Peacock in particular cannot
be overlooked in connection with
it. Out of the material that is
being polished up by Mr. Peacock,
there will probably emerge two or
three-good varsity men for next
year.
From the work that has already
been done on the freshman team,
everybody will conclude that . Mr.
Peacock is the man who can make
this varsity material become a
finished product. Besides being
an excellent foot-ball player and
coach, it is said of him, that he is
"the man who put basket-ball, on
the map of Georgia." AH of which
goes to . show that the University
has gained in him a very valuable
addition to the exceptional staff,
of coaches whom we have with us
this year.
Georgia evidently thought a
great deal of Mr. Peacock for a
writer of their paper "The Red
and Black" concludes a long tri
bute to him with this paragraph :
"In view of his great success in
an athletic way, his untiring and
unselfish efforts for the sake of
Georgia, and the great influence
for good that he has been to all
with whom he has come in contact,
this little appreciation can have
only one fault; that of being in
sufficient." : " ""
FRESH FOOTBALL MEN
DO NOT LACK WEIGHT
On account of the one year rule
the Freshman squad is unusually
large. There are about forty men
out now who are being put through
as rigorous a training as the var
sity. The coaches expect to make
use of the first year team in scrim
mages as often as possible. Coaches
Peacock and Daniel are putting
this squad through their paces,
and some of the freshmen are show
ing up well. The majority of the
men are heavy, four ranging from
190 to 225 pounds, two weighing
185, and several weighing from
150 to 175. Blunt a drop-kicker
is showing unusual form, and Le
wis, a prospective quarterback,
seems to have a good toe for punt
ing. ' '-
There will be two freshman
teams, one which will play the
class games, and one which will be
the Freshman Varsity. The latter
will play the outside games, and
finish with the Virginia Freshmen
Team on Emerson Field the Satur
day before Thanksgiving.
The first Freshman team will
probably outweigh the Varsity
and should give them some good
tussles.
