, OPERATION FOR SQUAD AT
UNIVERSITY INN
Emerson field is in great shape
for Saturday's game with Wake
Forest. The dust has been heavy,
owing to the lack of rain, but a
Studebaker sprinkler has largely
eliminated this nuisance. The
field has been marked off, and in
doing so the surveyors found the
goal posts to be but 296 feet apart
instead of the regulation 300. '
The goal posts have been padded
to prevent injuries to the Varsity
when in that vicinity.
The Varsity line-up has remain
ed practically unchanged this week
with Davis, Ingram, Borden,
Price, Williams, Coleman, and
.Tenncnt as the likely subs. Bell
ha3 been switched from half-back
to center, while'Currio has taken
lits place in the backfield.
A few minor injuries have kept
a few of the men out. ; Farthing
FIRST YEAR RESERVE MEN
SHOW GREAT IMPROVEMENT
The first year reserve team un
der the direction of coaches Daniel
and Peacock is fast developing in
to a formidable machine. There
'.re several big men trying for the
team, and although some lack the
experience, they have the physical
qualities necessary to develop into
good football players. With a con
siderable amount of coaching this
year these men should make good
'varsity material for the next three
vcars. The line has an . average
weight of ? approximately , 105
pounds. The back-field averages
around 145 pounds. At center
Blount has' been showing up well.
McBrayer and Robbins at guards,
and Conrad and Pickard at tackles
are all heavy built men. At ends,
Salmon and Hansom have shown
up best so far. In the back-field,
Daniel,, llerty, Spruill, Bristol,
Lewis, and Spa ugh are working
hard. In 'punting, Spruill and
llerty have shown up exceptional
ly well. With these .. men, and
Additional others who might be
mentioned, the .Reserve Squad
seems destined to turn out a team
this year that can hold its own
affainst all rivals.

CO-EDS DEMONSTRATE THEIR
BELIEF IN ORGANIZATION
MEET WITH MISS BARTON, '17,
AND ELECT OFFICERS FOR
THE YEAR
The "co-eds'; are abroad in the
land. Not in years have there
been such an abundance of them
on the campus. Wherever we go,
whether it be across the campus or
in the classroom, our eyes are sure
to light upon one of those' once
rare creatures. In fact they have
become so numerous that we have
almost become accustomed to the
sight of them and we no longer
view them with wonder and amaze
ment. There number has actually
reached the grand total of 1-1-
five seniors, two juniors, three
specials, two pharmacy students,
one post-graduate and one law stu
dent. :-.'7:" .

DRAMATIC CLUB ADOPTS
"LITTLE THEATRE" PLAN
The Dramatic Club is to be run
on an entirely different plan this
year from what has formerly been
the case. It is to be run on "The
Little Theatre" idea, which has
recently gained so much popularity
in most of the larger eiteis. In
this new plan some six or eight
different one act plays are given
at intervals during the year, no
one lasting more than thirty min
utes. '"'This' system has been tried
in most of the northern universi
ties with great success, and Caro
lina will be no exception to the
rule.

FOOTBALL PREPARATIONS
STIR STATE HIGH SCHOOLS
Once more the high schools of
the state are beginning to feel the
stir of the football spirit. In hun
dreds of towns and hamlets scat
tered from the mountains to the
sea husky -athletes in blue jerseys
and padded trousers are daily
trooping out upon the field to un
dergo a gruelling practice under
the stern eye of the coach. Base
balls and tennis rackets have been
relegated to the dust of the top
shelf. Books have been forgotten ;
history and mathematics have lost
their interest. The tenth grader
sits at his desk dreaming of thril
ling plays, the flying tackle and
the mad dash across the. field.
The race for the high school
football championship will soon be
on. Asheville, ; Charlotte, Chapel
Hill, Concord, Elizabeth City,
Goldsboro, Grecfnshoro, Hickory,
Kinston, Newbern, Oxford, Ra
leigh, Rockingham, Salisbury,
Shelby, Washington, Wilmington,
Winston-Salem, and many other
schools are fast rounding their
players into shape for the opening
games which will come off shortly.
By a process of elimination the
two strongest of these teams will
be selected to battle at Emerson
field for the state . championship
sometime after Thanksgiving.
The Raleigh high school has
three times; clashed with strong
teams from the west, and three
times she has returned home vic
torious. ;.' Will she carry off the
championship again? Raleigh of
course, thinks she will. Charlotte,
Wilmington, Greensboro, WTinston-
Salem, and the rest think differ
ently. However it is a long time
till tho last of November, and in
the meanwhile we can only watch
and wait.
