NEXT THANKSGIVING GAME
STAGED ON EMERSON FIELD
VIRGINIA-CAROLINA FOOTBALL
CLASSIC COMING TO
HOME SOIL
It's up to Richmond to make
the most of the Virginia-Carolina
Thanksgiving game November 30,
for it's the last she's to get . for
many a year to come probably
the last she'll ever get. 'Next vear
the game will ho played on
Thanksgiving, as usual, but on
Emerson Field at Chapel Hill.
This announcement was made by
Graduate Manager of Athletics,
C. T. Woollen, of the University,
Saturday, , ;-J 'y-K
This will he the first time Caro
lina and ' Virginia hava met oh a
North Carolina gridiron. All ex
cept five of the interstate" series,
which was begun in 1892, have
been played in Richmond.' .Now
the game is to he played .one year
in North Carolina on Emerson
field at the University, the next
year at Charlottesville on the Vir
ginia grid. '
And so the , consummation of
the desire which lias long been
entertained by faculty, alumni and
students to bring' this game of
games to North Carolina soil for
at least half the time, has been
reached. For some time Virginia,
too, has been desiring to play the
game at Charlottesville instead of
at Richmond ; but of course until
North Carolina, could be given the
same advantage of a home audi
ence neutral territory was more
desirable all the way round.
As hundreds of the interested
in the game go,; even to Richmond,

THE NORTH CAROLINA CLUB .
HOLDS REGULAR MEETING
At the regular' meeting" of the
North Carolina Club Monday
night, J. A. Capps read a very in
teresting paper on "Factors in Ac
cumulating, Farm .Wealth in
North Carolina." He nointed out
the respects in which' the South
ern farmers have fallen "behind
those of the Middle West 'in the ac
cumulation and retention of
wealth, and offered suggestions as
to how these conditions might he ;
changed. , .
A heated discussion ensued as
to whether the cotton-belt farmer
is justified in raising cotton alone,
while he buys from an outside
source all his food and feed-stuff.
So much interest was manifested
that it was decided to have a regu
lar dehate on the question at the
next meeting two' weeks hence,.

DR. SPINGARN LECTURES
ON LITERARY CRITICISM
Advanced students -in English
have done more "real thinking"
during the past week than in all
the rest of their lives, and for the
first time have acquired "points
of view" as a result of a series of
lectures hy Dr. J. E: , Spingarn,
formerly of Columbia University,
here each afternoon this - week.
Literary Criticism was the gener
al topic, and Dr. Spingarn. traced
it from Greece to the present as
follows: (1) Criticism in Greece
and Rome, (2) From the Middle
Ages till the Eighteenth Century,
(3) The Romantic Period, (4)
The Nineteenth Century, (5) .The
New Criticism., , ' ! ;
It was in the last lecture on
Friday that Dr. Spingarn, after
tracing the history of criticism
from Aristotle, through Horace,
Boiltan, Croce, Schlegel, Coleridge
and others, gave his own modern
conception of criticism. ' - :: '
. "We have done with all rules,"
he said, "we have done with the
slicing of literature into compart
ments marked comedy, tragedy,
etc., we have-done with abstrac
tions and technique as separate
from the - art;, itself. 7 Aestretic
judgment and .artistic creation
have become one and the same,"
The seminar was given espe
cially for candidates for Honors
in English and was in line with the
new work beipg done this year hy
the committee on degrtes with
Distinction.

out of the final game on account
of injuries. This year the team
has been up against stronger op
ponents v than' ever before. Har
vard, Princeton, Georgia Tech, V.

games Carolina has emerged each
time with increasing. strength.
The Tar Heel takes this occa
sion to review the seasons record
in detail. - ' -

ARE YY)U IN FAVOR OF
MILITARY TRAINING HERE?
The question of unitary train
ing for college students which has
been so widely discussed in recent
years among the colleges and uni
versities of the-country is to-be
brought before' the student body
of the University during' the next
few weeks.-. In order ... that those
who favor the introduction of a
military training course into the
University curriculum may have
an opportunity of expressing their
desire, a petition is now being cir
culated by Carolina's representa
tives at last summer's training
camp at Plattsburg, which rcmls
as follows:
We, the undersigned, desire to 1
take a course in military training
in this University i.
It is our understanding that
more than 3 hours a week .wild not
be required; that such course. will
be similar to those now given in
other Universities such as Penn
sylvania; and that membership in
any such training unit does not
bind us to the government in any
legal manner. ..
In. signing we .do not commit
ourselves, should 'the schedule of .
work seriously affect our present
work, or should the burden of ex
pense prove too great.
No signatures for this petition
are to; he solicited. " Tho men who
prepared the petition are anxious
that the signing of the petition
shall he the voluntary expression
of a genuine desire for the adop
tion of a military training system
in ..the .University. . '
