Li 21 JLLiw3 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVI. No. 8 CHAPEL HILL, N. C; SATURDAY, NOV. 3, 1917 Price, Five Cents DAVIDSON SCRUBS HOLD RESERVESINSLOW GAME MAKE TWO POINTS ON A SAFE TY AND OUTPLAY HOME TEAM IN LAST HALF PLAY OAK RIDGE GAME TODAY Keserves Go Up Against Strong Prep Bunch With Team in Good Shape Rumored that Oak Ridge has Great Full Back Game at 4:00 The successful manipulation of the forward pass brought home to Carolina her first football victory of the season last Saturday when the First Year Reserve team de feated the Davidson Scrubs 6-2. It was one of the most interest ing and cleanest games ever stag ed on Emerson field. Davidson displayed a consistent "scrappy" game, coming back with a rush in the last half that twice carried them within striking distance of the Carolina goal line. , A fumble and a safety at the critical mo ments alone kept them from scor ing. The number of injuries on both sides slowed the game con siderably. ; ' , , : The freshmen scored in the first quarter when on a forward pass from Lowe, Scales ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Lowe missed, goal. The remainder of the first half Carolina kept Da vidson almost wholly on the de fensive, and the ball was in Caro lina's possession on Davidson's 35 yard line when the whistle blew. , The Freshmen were literally rushed off their feet in the third quarter. The Davidson backs made repeated gains through the Freshman line, and Carolina had to substitute continually. Costly fumbles prevented a touchdown by the visitors. In the last quar ter the resistance of the Fresh man line stiffened and the game ended just as the rejuvenated Carolina team pulled off its fourth long forward pass. : For the Freshmen Simms and Cochrane, ends, and Lowe and Scales, backfield men, played well. Armfield and Milton fought best in the line. The whole Fresh man line showed lack of teamwork and fighting spirit. For the visi tors Brown and Currie took care of the ,ends in great style, while Robson, quarter, and, Massey, full, each played an excellent game. Massey outpunted Lowe. Caro lina succeeded in four forward passes out of five attempts and in tercepted one of the visitors'. Da vidson failed in all four attempts at the overhead game. Officials were : Referee, Clar voe; Umpire, 'Spaugh'; Headlines wan, Thompson, v ' ' The Wilson County Club met and organized on last Tuesday night Albert Coates made a very interesting ' talk on the work the club should do during the year. Dr.' Graham says to live so that anyone can tell what- you are and you won't be ashamed to hear them say in public. Union County Club meets three times : a day, without fail, at Swain . Hall. Meetings last 20 minutes. Nine members. State High Schools to Debate The number of schools already enrolled in the Debating Union, and the daily increase in , this en rollment, shows state-wide enthu siasm and interest. Thirty-seven High Schools, spread from coast to mountains, have signified their intention of participating in the fifth annual state-wide contest of the High School Union. The query, "Rseolved, That Congress should enact a law pro viding for the compulsory arbitra tion of industrial disputes," ap pears to be a very timely and im portant question: Bulletins on the query , are being prepared for distribution to high school de baters, and will be sent out in the near future. .. . The-High Schools which have already enrolled in the Debating .Union for this year are: Winston Salem, Mount Olive, Chapel Hill, Smithfield, Roanoke Rapids, San ford, Reidsville, Plymouth, Ra leigh, Oxford, Lexington, . High Point, Kinston, Elise, Greens boro, Waco, Stony Point, Shady Grove, Murphy, Wilson, Tarboro, Rockingham, Kenly, Siler City, Jamestown, Kittrelf, Warsaw, Rocky River, Concord, Jackson ville, Ronda, Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, Laurinburg, Elm City, Burlington, and Sardis. The war situation has by no means stopped the High School football . activity and interest, Chapel Hill, Oxford, Goldsboro, Kinston and Washington are among those having teams in the east this year, while in the wes tern part of the state Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Mt. Airy, Concord , and 'Salisbury are keeping, the pigskin moving. The state championship preliminaries have not started yet, but there is every indication of a spirited race for the state honors this year. HORSEHIDE TOSSERS BUSY The Varsity Basketball squad has started playing practice games every night, and with practically three good men out for each place theire is every reason why 'this year's team should make a record to be proud of. Especial emphasis is being laid by the coach on passing and short goal shooting. All the twenty eight men who now make up the squad are working hard, and the "old pep" pervades the atmos phere in the gym at practice hour. The system of having first, sec ond, third, fourth, and fifth squads has been put into effect, but play ers in the last squads will be given every chance as was shown by a recent rise from the fourth squad to the first. Manager Kinlaw expects to arrange for several games to be played before Christmas. "While we are breaking our necks after the material things of life, don't let us forget how to live," said Dr. Foreman in Chapel Monday morning. Amphoterothen discussed the practicability of having every body and everything start "on time." Buzz Tennant led the dis cussion on this timely topic. NORMAN ANGELL MAKES FIRST ADDRESS OF YEAR WELL KNOWN PUBLICIST TALKS ON "AMERICA'S POLICY AT END OF THE WAR" HAS HAD INTERESTING CAREER Norman Angell, international publicist and author -of -world fa mous books, who spoke in Ger rard Hall last week on "Ameri ca's Policy at the End of the War" is an Englishman, although he spent his entire youth in the Wes tern States of America. He came over when he was quite young and first started ranching . out West when that country was acquiring the reputation of the "wild and woolly West." A few years later he turned -prospector and went over all the country staking his claim wherever there was the slightest chance of gold. Later he entered the field of journalism and became a ' very successful newspaper man. In 1898 he returned to England as the correspondent ' of various American newspapers. He went to France and was on the staff of "Eclair," Paris, for two years, 1903-05. From 1905' to 1914 he was general manager of the Paris Daily Mail. - . Mr. Angell is world authority on the laws of nations, and has published a great many books on international law." His greatest work is "The Great Illusion," published . in 1910. His other works include "Peace Theories and the Balkan War," 1912 ; "War and the Essential Realities" 1913; "The Foundation of Inter national Policy," 1914 ; "Pru,s sianism and its Destruction," 1914. His "Great Illusion" has en joyed one of the largest circula tions of any book on political science, appearing in almost every civilized country. Since he has spent a large part of his life out of doors, Mr. An gell is fond of all outdoor sports. Recreations which he most, en joys are small yacht cruising and boy scouting. He has the distinc tion of being the only scout, mas ter holding a Baden-Powell war rant for France.

Thursday, November 8 Stu dent Forum in Chapel. Friday, November 9 Dr. Mc Nider in Chapel. Saturday, November 10 Glee Club to Leave the Hill At last the inmates of the Y. M. C. A., South Building, and Old West will be given relief, and, for one week, at least, these gentlemen will be allowed to re main in their rooms during the after-supper hour without being subjected to the screechy voices and doleful music . emitting through the windows of Gerrard Theatre. ' In other words, the Glee Club will start on its annual western trip Monday week, November 12. Such is the announcement that comes from the lips of Director Lindsay, and that gentleman fur ther states that his musical con tingent, whose names strict cen sorship forbids us to mention, is said to be one of the best Carolina has ever produced. Chapel Hill is not to be neg lected, however, and on Thursday night next, unless present plans are radically upset, the whole Chapel Hill community, students not excepted, will be given the special opportunity and privilege of attending the initial perform ance of this "peppy" organization. Director Lindsay has made every effort to secure lively s2lections, and, as a result, the musical num bers, as well as the choruses, will be unusually "peppy." The Mandolin Club, which is in charge of Phil Branson, will probably be the f eature of the pro gram. However, the choruses, orchestra numbers, quartets, Ha waiian numbers and humorous songs will run it a close second. eLames Howell will also send forth several of his yodels. The advertising policy will be slightly changed this year, in that an advance agent, namely, J. Y. Jordan, will be sent to the towns to be played a week ahead of the performances. It is anticipated that this new plan will register its hearty approval in the increas ed receipts of the box office. The cities to be visited before the Club returns are Asheville, Charlotte, Winston, Salisbury, and Greensboro, in the order nam ed, the first performance of the trip to be given at Asheville, No vember 12. Seats for the Thursday night performance in Gerrard Hall will go on sale early next week at Eu banks', and those wishing to avoid disappointment are urged to se cure them early. County Financial Question Discussed in Carolina Club Last Monday night the third meeting of the North Carolina club was held, at which Mr. M. S. Willard, of New Hanover County, and Mr. George G. Scott, chair man of the state board of accoun tancy, were the speakers. Both of the gentlemen, in their thorough discussion of the financial end of county affairs, emphasized the un-business-like methods now in prac tice for the handling of county finances, and proposed remedies. Francis Bradshaw has gone to Elon College, to inaugurate there a campaign for the raising 'of funds for the Y. M. C. A. War Work. EACH COMPANY IS SURE RANK AND FILE THROUGHOUT THE BATALLION LOYALLY SHOWING TEAM WORK HAVE PLANS FOR TWO DUGOUTS Rain Does Little Damage to Trenches Men Getting Hardened to Using Implements Night Attacks Next Week Colois to be Presented '"' The apprach of crisp, bracing weather has led to a fierce renew al of the attack on the trenches. Under the onslaught of two com panies every drill day, the depth of the trenches : has ; gradually grown greater until the heads of the last platoon in each company are no longer visible. Boys who never before swung anything hea vier than a bad partner at the dances, now swings a 10 pound pick with the ease of a day laborer and spit' on their hands like a reg ular fellow. .' r, . ; The blisters which created so much concern at first have given way , to the ugly , but serviceable!, callous. Sore shoulders have be- ' come used to the ; strenuous exer cise of digging. . '., The trenches have . practically, reached their final depth,', except, in some places where ; bad ground has interfered , with the progress of the work. Solid, rock was dis covered in one of; the , support trenches, necessitating a new cut to avoid the rock. Several stones larger than a . grown pumpkin . . have been pulled out of their roosting places.. ' The fire step will be, constructed as soon as the sides of the trench, reach a proper degree of smooth ness. It will be ,4 1-2 feet from the top of the trench, and, will be 18 inches in breadth.' '"' ,Two dugouts have been . plann-" ed, brie'at the "juncture of the front line trench with a communicating' trench, and the other behind the support trench. They will be .10 feet in diameter, extending from' the trench and slightly below the trench level. It is also the plan' of the military organization to construct a stronghold a3 soon as possible. The barbed wire will be put up after the trenches are completed. The local organization of the Red Cross has signified its inten tion of serving hot drinks iand. sandwiches at the trenches. This' will undoubtedly meet ' with the approval of the battalion. In ad dition, the presence of so many Chapel Hill belles will add to the morale of the troops, arid give the occasion a martial ring. Under - the fire of a masked battery of eyes, however, one is liable to chop one's neighbor in the neck with a pick. Very -unpleasant, to say the least.' - - The excellent location of the trenches was demonstrated by their condition after the recent rains. They drained very well, and the sides held up very well under the softening influence of the water. Each company is working like; fury to be the first to receive the colors, which will be presented by some fair co-ed, perhaps. Captain Allen has signified, his (Continued on Page 4
