The game was' closer than the score would indicate ; for, at tho he ginning of the seventh inning the visitors looked as if they were about to tie the four run majority which the blue and white nine had piled up in the first two innings.1 But a little dispute around third base roused "Rudy's" band to such a fighting pitch that they added four more runs to their total dur ing the remaining half of the seventh. After that the Davidson twirler settled down ; with tho re sult that no more hits were gotten from him in-the eighth. A time ly hit by the same man brought in the last run for the visitors ; leav ing the score 8 to 4 at tho end of tho opening period of the ninth.1 The visiting team was some what weakened by the absence of their regular phort-stop who jnjur ed his arm in the former game. However, Pharr played a very consistent game in his position. Barnes' hitting was a feature of the game one of his hits being a home run with the bases full. Weeks played a strong fielding- game snagging an unusually diffi cult drive. Kirkraan, who substi tuted for Feimster on account of (Continued on Page Six) What's to Happen and When Monday.

This idea of military training has now taken a new form, in that aside from the regular student bat talion it is proposed to organize a separate company composed of Se niors of the respective departments of the University. The purpose of this organiza tion will be to offer service to the country, in caso of an aggressive war, to be placed in whatever field of military activities the War De partment may see fit to place the company either as drill masters or on the actual field of opera tions. The company is being organized by William Folger and R. E. L. Cook, Jr. To date they have se cured a good many recruits, but as the numbers of men in a company on a war footing in one hundred and fifty, every Senior will be giv en a chance to answer the ,first call of his country. 'The government at first call does not want to take the "brains'' from our industries, because these are a most important factor of war. It would, seem then that the college senior natur ally, falls within the first-class to be conscripted. He has strength and intellect, yet by. entering the service of his country he does not paralyze any factor of war rath er increases the power of the fight ing force. ' ' The statement by Major-G enter al Wood in his letter to the Presi dent of Princeton University does not apply to. Seniors, because be fore the company can be perfected the time for graduation will have passed, and seniors will be alumni. Several of the Professors have indorsed the formation and pur pose of this company. Old Moo Mo-i laughs To 3wl c ' Before After THE EFFECT.OF 0RlLLN(j UPOMTHE 80Y DANCES, SENIOR STUNT ?

Not only the tug of war, but sundry base ball games will take place on the class field, for the class teams are acquiring all sorts of forms, some of them without any practice at all, a fact tblt will no doubt make some of the games well worth seeing. .

Companies Show Marked Improvement in Drilling Flag Signal Drill and Course in Wire ' less Telegraphy New Develop ments in System i The war spirit of the Univer sity demonstrated by the interest .iiUOEniljUaiXl!- ' that the University is a unit backing Mr. Wilson. Of the , five hundred or more men who began the drill, few have dropped out, and in every case it has been through necessity. The attendance at the- drills which have been held twice each week for each company; have been ex cellent and with the exception of a few tardies every one seems to put "forward every effort to make the training a success. Many have not been satisfied with only the regular drills but have taken the opportunity of spare minutes to drill. - . Two hundred and fifty rifles Lave been secured from Mr. Her man Cone, of Greensboro, and these supply a part of the corps for the training in the manual of arms. Though these guns are of very old model they serve every purpose tfiajj a modern gun would serve. An effort is now being made to secure enough guns to supply every man. -' s Drilling for the most part has been by squads of eight men al though as many as twentyjfour have been drilled together. 1 A course has been instituted in the flag signal drill which has caused considerable interest. . This course is entirely voluntary and is held at the convenience of those taking it. Another course which has caus ed no little interest is that of wire less telegraphy. This class con sists of eight men who meet at the residence of Dr. Daggett every Monday. It is probable that the four com panies will spend Friday morn ing, which is a holiday, in drilling on a large sfcale. Well, we've walloped the Pres byterians and the Methodists, any way.
