CAROLINA-IP, DAYIDSON-6 IN A CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME PRESBYTERIANS KEEP TAR HEELS ON DEFENSE Favored by the breaks in a game in which they were continually out played -Carolina won from David son at Winston last Saturday 10-6. During the first quarter David son opened Carolina's line again and again and Burns was able to gain repeatedly. - A fumble by Burns on University's, eight yard line probably prevented a score. Fumbles were frequent by both teams. No scoring was done in the first three quarters, neither team com ing within striking distance again until the last quarter, when, hav ing recovered a fumble well into the collegians' territory, Tandy kicked a field goal from the 25 yard line. - Carolina kicked off, and after an exchange of punts Carolina recovered the ball on her 40-yard line. On the first play Folger broke through the line and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. Davidson received, and on the third play Flowers caught ft long pass from Lawson and ran 55 yards for (Continued on Page Six) RECEPTION GIVEN GLEE CLUB BY SALEM GIRLS The Glee Club gave its first per formance at Salem College on Fri day night. The program was be gun by the chorus, who sang, "Hark the Sound," which was fol lowed by orchestra string band, mandolins, quartet, and Hawaiian numbers. Every number was en cored several times, and it , was only with great difficulty that Di rector J. Earl Harris was able to leave the stage, after rendering sev eral piano selections. After the performance the club was given a reception by the seniors of the college, which was highly enjoyed by every member of the club. The club remained in Winston on Saturday to witness the Caro lina Davidson football game and returned to the Hill on Sunday. Those who made the trip are as follows : Pace, Martin, Howell, Travis, Lupfcrt, Green, Lashmit, S. Travis, .Harris, Wimberley, Lindsey, Stephenson, Dalton, Rondthaler, Parker, Poag, Prince, Spaugh, Brinson, Kinlaw, Thomp son, Jordan and Hartshorn. , LYCEUM FOR RURAL SCHOOLS IN OPERATION - The Y. M.' C. A. lyceum for rural Sunday schools, which was recently instituted by the Educa tion Department headed by Ma rion Fowler, gave its first lectures on Monday night at Rankin's Chapel and at Mt. Carmel with a good attendance at both places. It is the purpose of the lyceum department to give weekly lectures at each of the seven rural Sunday schools, with which the Y. M. C. A. is connected, in place of the moonlight schools which were held last year. These lectures will be delivered by members of the facul ty who will speak on such subjects as public and private health, farm economics, and'methods of education. CAR0L1NA-FURMAN GAME ON EMERSON FIRD TODAY VISITING TEAM LIGHTER THAN TAR HEEL BUT PROMISE STIFF OPPOSITION "The Furman eleven, though playing a scrappy game and even at times showing a willingness to do and dare at no time had- a look in." This is the summary of the Fur'man-Georgia game last Saturday according to the State Columbia. Compared with Carolina the Furman team is considerably lighter and for that reason is not expected to offer a very stig oppo sition. It is probable that many of the second strong men will get a chance to show what they can do, while the many back field and end candidates will have a chance to show their ability. . Furman is sure to put up a stiff enough defense to prove in teresting. It has played good ball all season but mostly with teams out of its class. According to com parative scores Carolina should win by four touchdowns. . Line-up : Carolina Furman Love Wood L. E. Tayloe ...... Jeter L. T. Grimes Shirley L.G. Tandy L... Payne C.

EXPERIMENTAL GARDEN FOR BOTANY STUDENTS To gather together all of the 248 varieties of North Carolina shrubs into one small plot is Dr. W. C, Coker's aim in clearing and dig ging up the vacant field back of the Peabody building. This field is not to be converted into a new arboretum, as one would suppose who has noticed its carefully laid off walks and orderly rows of plants. It is Dr. Coker's purpose to plant one half of the plot in the different shrubs of the state and to use the other half as an experi mental ground for the students of the botany department. The eld has been in cultivation for the past two summers, but on account of lack of time Dr. Coker has not been able to advance very rapidly with the work. However, he intends to begin collecting his shrubs as soon-as possible.

Though there are twelve courts, it is a rarety to see one Vacant. This tournament has only begun, so nothing can be officially announc ed as to the winners of the various classes. Those who have been showing up especially well are: L. II. Harvey and W. S. - Arrasmith of the Freshman class ; W. C. Feimster of the Sophomore class ; Quinn and E. A. Griffin of the Junior class ; and E. J. Perry and M. II. Revel of the Senior class. With so large a number out for tennis, new material should be found which will pave the way for better tennis in the future. Holmes Herty, 0. H. Combs, J. B. Hester and II. V. Wilson, who make up our varsity team, have proved themselves too great a match for anyone with whom they have played so far. They expect to have a return game with Ra leigh Country Club from whom they won two weeks ago. - BILLY STEELE LEADS Y. M. C. A. DISCUSSION Billy Steele ledthe weekly Y. M. C. A. discussion meeting, Tues day night, v His subject was, "The Morning Watch." " He very interestingly outlined a good plan for the Morning Watch, and showed the advantages that a man may get from a few moments devoted each day to the study: of the Bible. ' "Such men as Daivid and Isaac," he said, "and men like Lee in later times were careful followers of the Morning Watch." " One unsolved problem of capital and labor is to find workingmen who think that labor is capital. Lowell (Mass.) Sun. " DR. J. A. MacDONALD OF -TORONTO CANADA DELIVERS SERIES OF INTER ESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LECTURES ON "THE NORTH AMERICAN IDEA" Defining it as 'The Right of a Free People to Govern Themselves" ..: Lectures Characterized by Striking Statements "In that wider sweep of tie world life, and in that farther sweep-of the world mind, the North American Idea shall find itself and have its chance." With this strik ing assertion James A. McDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe, open ed the second series of lectures on American Citizenship under the Weil Foundation in Gerrard Hall Wednesday night. Dr. McDonald's resourceful vigor, and energetic manner kept at all times the un divided attention of his audience; The subject of the first lecture was, "The North American Idea in the American Republic." "It. is in the United States, arid in - Canada," he said, "that the North American Idea has had. its opportunity. The American Re public and Canadian Dominion agree " in this ; they . each gave a chance to the released and irrepres sible idea of freedom, the idea which disturbed the autocracies of Europe and began their overthrow long before America played any part in the history of the world. "Mexico, indeed, shares in the geography of North America but not in its idea. The people of Mexico have not come to their own in the North American inheri tance of democratic self-government. The North American Idea as yet finds no directing and con trolling place in the Mexican, mind, "The two North American dem ocracies, then, are Europe's . sec ond chance. And North America's real title to greatness must be read in the light which these two nations, each in its own way, and both together in their common in ternationalism, give back to the fatherlands and motherlands, not" of our peoples alone, but of our ideals of freedom and our princi- , (Continued from Page Two) TOTAL ENROLLMENT IN DEBATING UNION 150 .Seventy schools have entered the High School Debating Union dur ing the past two weeks, bringing the total enrollment up to 150, Among those that recently became members are, Yanceyville; Walker town, Farmington, Huntersville, Chadbourh, Waynesville, Selma, Mars Hill, Atkinson, Roxboro, Bethel Hill, Bushy Fork, Creed moor, Mt.
