OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXV. No. 9 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11,, 1916 Price, Five Cents TEAM PLAYS DAVIDSON TODAY-WINSTON SALEM DAVIDSON HAS THE STRONGEST TEAM PUT OUT BY, HER IN MANY YEARS THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Carolina Players in Good Condition for Today's Contest Large Num ber Carolina Rooters Will be There Carolina's game with Davidson today at Winston-Salem will de cide the state football champion ship for 1916. Davidson has a fast, snappy bunch, though not very heavy. The two teams which are about match ed in weight, have been showing ther mettle this season. The Presbyterians held Vir ginia 12-0, Georgia Tech 9-0, and tied the Citadel. But the Citadel always has a good team as last year's team can testify. David son won overwhelmingly from Furman, who play Carolina here on November 18. If Carolina can get the jump and her old fight in today's game there can 'be but one result, it is felt ; throughout the University, but if not there will be a hard fight to down these plucky opponents. At a meeting of the Gym squad Tuesday evening, B. A. Siddall, '17, of Somter, S. C, was elected captain of the 1916-17 team. The team is expecting , a most successful year as nearly all of last years' team is again in school. The meet this year with Virginia will be held at Charlottesville, but it is hoped that other meets may be ar ranged to be held at Chapel Hill. TAR HEELS LOSE GAME TO STRONG V. P. I. TEAM Carolina's failure to start the first half with the usual punch and drive enabled V. P. I. to obtain two touchdowns and victory over the White and Blue at Boanoke last Saturday. V. P. I. scored in the first and second periods on end runs. None of the runs by the Virginia backs amounted to large gains, but their interference enabled them to gain when necessary. Folger and Cole man outkicked the Tech punter, and our ends showed improvement in getting down the field under punts. ' The Tar Heels', touchdown came in the second period when Lancaster dropped one of Folger's long kicks and Bamsey picked up the ball and ran forty yards for a touchdown. Tandy kicked goal. The forward pass was used but infrequently and then with no success. Four trials by Carolina (Continued on Page Six) Patterson's drug store has been the center of attraction for the past week. ;..

THE NORTH CAROLINA CLUB HAS INTERESTING MEETING "SOUTH SHOULD BE RID OF TICKS AND POLITICS" SAYS DR. BRANSON "The prayer I am continually praying is that God will rid the South of ticks and politics," de clared Dr. E. C. Branson in an ad dress "to the North Carolina Club last night. Dr. Branson said that the genius of the Southern people had never been sufficiently econo mical. We are continually in the strut and fret and fever of poli tics. We have not more than half a dozen economists in the South today. "We are poor," the speaker af firmed, "not because we do not create the wealth, but because we do not keep it. And of what use is it to sweat out wealth when it won't stick to the palms that sweat it out ?" Our per capita wealth is only $794, next to the lowest of any state in the union. And we are not only poor financially, but "pore" in spirit and thought to ward our institutions. We have little wealth and less willingness. The North Carolina problem is two-fold ; to lower the cost unit of production and so contribute to a surplus and then to distribute the wealth we create so as to hold it down. "If we have not intellect enough to figure that out, we must admit to being sodden in incurable stupidity." "Here we are," Dr. Branson continued, "fumbling with the paper pulp industry while Mississ ippi and Georgia with nothing like our material, establish million dollar factories and make the pro fits. We sleep and doze." The purpose of the North Caro lina Club is to agitate a reasoning (Continued on Page Six) DATE OF FALL DANCES DEFINITELY DECIDED The time of the fall dances has at last been definitely fixed.

The first dance will be given by the Order of Gorgon's Head, and the second. by the German Club. Meyer Davis'. Orchestra has been engaged to furnish the music. ORANGE COUNTY RALLY DAY IS GREAT SUCCESS CAMPUS THRONGED WITH VISI v TORS FROM EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY FARM PRODUCTS ARE EXHIBITED Picnic DinnerPictures in . Chapel Singing Contest Potato Races Wheelbarrow Races and Other Athletic Contest A fair day, large crowds, a va riety of exhibits, numerous prize contests, and a spirit of good-will and gayety all combined to make Orange County Bally Day on Fri day the third, the biggest and best that has yet been held. , Early in the morning buggies and carriages began pouring into the campus, and by ten o'clock, when the automobile parade start ed from the post office, the field back of the South building was covered with horses and vehicles. Every hour of the morning was filled with exercises for the enter tainment of the visitors, a band concert at Memorial Hall, a musi cal performance by the students in Chapel, and a basket picnic under the trees. In addition to these exercises on the campus free mov-' ing pictures illustrating different phases of farm work were shown at the Pickwick during the morn ing and afternoon. - The exhibits this year were more varied than ever before.

M. C. A. lob by to hear Professor Cobb and Turlington talk in their usual sad and melancholy manner, and to relieve, the buying committee of numerous articles of consumption commonly known a3 "eats." The smoker began at nine o'clock with a speech by Profes sor Cobb urging the students to give the political questions before the country their most careful con sideration instead of following blindly the dictates of parties. Professor Turlington, after read ing his own version of Bacon's es say on truth as applied to smokers, proceeded to discuss the value of smokers in developing class unity. Ralph Williams concluded the talks by calling upon his class mates to "put out some of the things that are in and put in some of the things that are put." The advice was unnecessary, for soon the committee came in bear ing waiters heaped with eatables, and. in less than, ten minutes the wisdom imparted by the faculty members had been put out and a goodly quantity of fruit and sand wiches had been put in.
