OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVII. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 6, 1918 Number 6 YJ.C.A. TO MAKE BIG WAR WORK DRIVEFOR $8,000 CAROLINA EXPECTS TO GO OVER THE TOP WITH HER QUOTA START NEXT WEEK ASSOCIATION S DONE BIG WORK Is Now World-Wide Organization and Indispensable to Our Fighting Forces Secretary W. R. Wunsch, of the "Y", announces that there will soon be launched a drive on the campus for the local quota of the United War Work Fund. Uaronna s quota is $o,uuu, at cord'ng to announcement from head quarters of the United War Work. Ths fund, which will be raised throughout the country, will go to the recreational and welfare work be ing carried on in our camps and in the trenches overseas. The work of the "Y" is known in ail parts of the world today. When a rookie reaches camp, the first face to greet him is the smiling counte nance of some fatherly "Y" secre tary, who does all in his power to make the fellow pleased with his strange surroundings. At the "Y" hut there are libraries, reading rooms, and different forms of amusement. In order to furnish additional hours of pleasure, the association secures all the high class theatrical and musical stars possible, and supervises the ath letics and other recreations of the boys. The "Y" is made as much like home to the men in service as pos sible. If it were not for the Y. M. C. A. there would be more homesick and discouraged soldiers than there are on this side. The work across the sea is still greater. When General Pershing arrived in France with his small band of Sam mies thev were met by a small num ber of Y" secretaries. Today the association has 5,739 men and 852 women workers overseas, beside the 3,882 in camps on this side. Behind the lines, the men find the welcome fire of the "Y" hut where they can write letters back home or spend an hour of recreation. In the front line trenches, you will find the cheerful secretary carrying chocolate, cigars, tobacco, drinks and cookies to the boys when they are unable to cease fighting for a full meal. There have been many accounts of the brave and heroic conduct of "Y" workers in the battle zones of France. The "Y" huts are the soldiers' clubs, theatres, schools and churches. These huts numbered 650 in September, and the number is ever inci easing. These figures do not include the ones on this side of the sea. The cost of operat ing these rest and recreational clubs is enormous, and the support of ev ery American is needed. From the trenches in Europe, our boys write letters home telling loved ones of the beloved "Y" man and his great work among the soldiers of Democracy. These letters ask the folks back home to help the association in its task. Even if peace comes soon, an enormous sum is needed for work in the camps and overseas while the pe riod of reconstruction takes place. Secretary Baker in an address to United War Workers, told them not to let any decrease in their endeavors for' raising funds take place. He said it would take a long time to bring the men overseas now back across, and to place all men in service into their old places in civil life. It will be the work of the "Y" to keep these men in the mood of happy and con tented spirits. More detailed an nouncements in regard to the cam pa'gn will be made soon. It is ex pected that Carolina will do her part by the men in service. If it is im possible for men in the S. A. T. C. to go over, they have a privilege of making life pleasant for those over there. A Pullman roadster has been loaned to the University for the period of the war. The car is owned by Mr. T. L. Simmons, of Rocky Mount, who is a member of the S. A. T. C. and is to be used by the Gas Engines classes. Practical instruction will be given in the construction and working of en gines and the classes will learn to take an automobile apart and re-assemble the parts. Four more cars have been ordered by the University for this purpose. ' Mr. J. E. Lear has accepted the po sition of Assistant Professor of Elec trical Engineering and is devoting his time to the Gas Engines course. Mr. Lear was Assistant Designing En gineer with the General Electric Com pany in West Lynn, Mass., before coming to the University. He has had previous experience as Profes sor in the Agricultural and Mechani cal College of Texas and at Norwich university in Vermont. "Appease that conscience sub scribe for the Tar Heel now!!" WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE AND WHEN, IS QUESTION NOW SELECTION OF MEN TO O. T. C. TO BE MERELY BY PREFER ENCE FOR THE PRESENT Where do we go from here and when, has been the uppermost thought and topic of conversation around the campus some time past. It is a ques tion which has been answered in var ious ways and no one seems to un derstand it thoroughly or to possess any definite information concerning it. While the primary object of the Students Army Training Corps seems to have been the academic education of the men, still the great majority of the' Battalion seem eager to be away, on to Training Camp and into the thick of the thing. And it is very natural that this condition of af fairs and trend of thought should be. Before entering the S. A. T .(J., the minds of most of the men were not fully made up as to just what they wanted to do, they had not seen the inside workings of the Army, had been spectators merely with a distant and hazy knowledge of the thing. But now that the curtain has been raised and the whole thing made plain, and as they become more and more a part of our great organization, the desire naturally comes upon them to move on. The martial atmosphere oi the place is having a telling effect upon the men. It resolves itself into the old saying: "The thing you -study is the thing you will soon Want to put in practice. Jt seems tobe up to somebody to make some answer to the insistent question; "Where do we go from here and when ?" and so the writer as sumes responsibility and will make an attempt. In the hrst place men will leave here largely by preference for the present, that is if their qualifications are also established. There are some excellent men here now who do not care to be transferred at once, preferring to study a while longer. Transfers will not be made according to age particularly. If a fellow eigh teen years old has the mental and physical qualifications of a good of (Continued on Page 4) Competition is Rife in Non-S. A.T.C. Company A great deal of interest is being taken at present in the non-S. A. T. C. drill. A contest is on for officers of the Company and there is keen rivalry between the men for the va rious commands. The present acting officers and non-coms, are S. C. Og burn, Jr., 1st Lieutenant, A. H. Pell, 2nd Lieutenant, and T. J. Wilson III, first Sergeant. There is every indi cation that the company will be ex cellently officered. Everyone has a chance at any of the officers' posi tions and a fair chance will be given to every man to show what he can do. According to latest orders, non-S. A. T. C. company officers will not be saluted except on the field. The military authorities are very much pleased with the excellent pro gress made by the non-S. A. T. C. thus far. Indeed, the progress has been so rapid' that Adj. J. V. Whit field expects to terminate close-order drill on Thursday. Alter that ex tended order will be taken up. The ' old system of trenches will probably be remodeled for the trench warfare. Capt. J. Stuart Allen will lecture on musketry and small arms from time to time during the course. These lectures will be given in the regular drill periods. All of the men are re quired to keep up with the lectures since they will be held responsible for them on examination and besides non-S. A. T. C. men must procure an Infantry Drill Regulation Book. The non-S. A. T. C. will also have an excellent drum corps, judging from noise made in practice. This corps is now under the instruction of "Tiny" Hall. It will probably be composed of six men. The Sigma Theta Chapter of the Phi Chi Medical Fraternity has re cently initiated the following men: Edward Bizzell, Jr., Goldsboro, N. C; Donald B. Cobb, Goldsboro, N. C; David A. Cooper, Henderson, N. C; R. Norman Harden, Commerce, Ga.; Ed Hughes, Danville, Va.; Har ry G. Hunter, Hendersonville, N. C; Louis D. MacMillan, Wilmington, N.'C; Black well Markham, Durham, N. C; F. Limer Payne, Raleigh, N. C; Robert A. Ross, Morganton, N. C; John S. Terry, Rockingham, N. C; Adam T. Thorp, Rocky Mount, N. C.; R. Earle Tyler, Keyesville, Va.; W. Gilliam Wilson, Jr., Wilson's Mills, N. C. ' The members of the Woman's As sociation met in small groups during the Influenza epidemic to make gauze masks for the use of the Hospital Corps. Altogether 120 masks were made and sent to the Infirmary. PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR A WINNING TEAM PRACTICES GROW STIFFER AND MEN ARE DEVELOPING RAPIDLY RAW MATERIAL IS MAKING GOOD After-Company Games Have Begun and Are Putting Fellows in Condition The result of the opening game with Wake Forest has shown that Carolina, despite the loss of all her letter men, has the brightest of pros pects for a winning football combi nation. If Carolina with all new men can win over a team with six veteran letter men back, Coach Ritch thinks a strong eleven can be developed. As the practices grows st.ffer and the men develop, some of those show ing less form have dropped out. As a result the squad has been cut some and there remains only the best, some 35 o rmore. The backfield with Captain Gant, Lowe, Pharr, Herty, Fearrington, and McNeely showed up exceptionally well in the Wake Forest game. The line with a little more practice gives prom ise of developing into a strong de fensive combination. Brown, Ker nodle, Nichols, Carter, Simms,. Mc Queen, Powell, Gibson, Austin, Sham burger, Holt and others have shown e-ood form as linesmen. ' and Lee, November 9, at Lynchburg. The generals usually pur out a strong eleven and Saturday's scrap is looked forward to with a great deal of in terest. On November 16 at Win ston-Salem Davidson is met and by that time Coach Ritch hopes to have his men in tiptop condition for the peppery Presbyterians. The most evident fault from both teams' work Saturday was the fre quent fumbling. This is a result of the limite damount of practice the men have had. The Coach, however, is now working the team every after noon and from 7:10 to 8:00 in the mornings. The inter-Company games have begun and have put many of the fellows into condition. With an othpr wflek of stiff work the team ! should be in great shape for the Washington and Lee game. R. W. MADRY LEAVES R. W. Madry left Tuesday after noon for the Officers' Training Camp, Camp Gordon. Mr. Madry, who grad uated last year, has been connected with the University Extension Ser vice this year, in the capacity of dir ector of the High School Journal and Managing Editor of the Alumni Re view. He was connected with the Tar Heel in the capacity of Managing Edi tor but was forced to relinquish this office because of his other duties. "Snipes" leaves behind him a host of friends and well-wishers. Mis Madeline Palmer and Miss Lura Thomas have recovered from influ enza. Mrs. J. Hannah Dead Mrs. J. Hannah, of Waynesville, died here Monday morning, October 28, from pneumonia, following in fluenza. The remains were taken to Waynesville that afternoon where the interment was made. Mrs. Hannah contracted influenza while attending her son, William, who is now prac tically well. Mr. Hannah is a promi nent lawyer and well known citizen of Waynesville. Post Exchange Gives General Satisfaction The success of the P. X. was ab solute and instantaneous from all re ports that can be gathered. The satisfaction of the men is the main object and, judging from this the Exchange is a great success. The concensus of opinion is decidedly complimentary. The men seem to be highly satisfied with it. It ha3 taken the place of the Post Office and Drug Stores in former times as a general gathering place for the S. A. T. C. men. The prices are the same as in any retail establishment, but a ssoon as the Exchange is put on a paying basis these prices will come down a great deal. In connec tion with the P. X. there will be a laundry and barber shop. These two branches will charge as low a rate as possible. The stock at the Exchange is very good at present and more will be added as soon as poss:ble. Owing to congested traffic and to the de mand for goods at present it is very hard to procure supplies but ,a great effort is being made to get all ne cessary goods. ; The P. X. is open from 12:30-1:30 and from 6:30-7:30 on week days and for all Saturday and Sunday afternoons. KEEN RIVALRY AROUSED BY COMPANY ATHLETICS IN HARD FOUGHT CONTEST COS. C-D TRIUMPH OVER A-B SCORE 60 flnmnanv football has added zest to the life of the campus, a fact demon strated by the game inursaay even ing. From the quantity of raw ma terial in the four companies Coach Ritch has been selecting the most promising men and moulding them into vol inMft nlavKrs. Deisnite the handicap of having a very limited time for practice and training, tne men have been showing up well, and the prospects are bright for turn ing out a winning team. In the game of last Thursday two teams were chosen from the squad of thirty men, one team representing Companies "A" and "B" and the other "C" and "D". Each team put all the energy and spirit it could into the game, realizing that they were cham pions of their companies. By per mission of the military authorities all the S. A. T. C. men were excused from drill at 4:30 P. M. and marched into the grandstand, where they showed their interest in the game by hearty cheering. Lieutenant Rounds refer eed the contest.

Work The Faculty Committee on Student Life and Activities is planning to co operate with the military authorities, the Y. M. C. A. and the women stu dents in arranging entertainment for the student body under the new condi tions. Under the auspices of the Post the Committee will aid the Y. M. C. A. in securing moving pictures, courses and lantern lectures. It is also inter ested in making the Y comfortable and has arranged to have the Y audi torium remodeled for a reading room. A circular letter has been sent out to members of the faculty and towns people asking each family to enter tain at least four student soldiers at Sunday dinner each month. The guests will be assigned through the Y. M. C. A. every week. The military authorities have ap proved of the plans for Company dances to be held on Saturday nights in the Gymnasium. Each Company will give a dance including the non S. A. T. C. Company. It is hoped that this may continue through the year and the first dance is scheduled for the coming Saturday. The Committee hopes to assist in gett'ng a center for the women stu dents of the University. It is hoped that a place will be set aside for their use in order that they may have a room, in which to hold their meet ings and gatherings and also that the women students will have an opportunity to aid in providing en tertainment for the soldiers here. On December 1st, 1918, a new In fantry Officers' Training Camp will begin at Fremont, California. All civil'ans of September 12th registra tion in Class 1 and all registrants of previous dates in deferred classifi cation on account of industry and occupation are eligible for this train ing camp. The course of training will cover a period of two months and the rank of successful graduates will be that of Second Lieutenant. The capacity of this camp is 20,000 men and North Carol;na i3 to fur nish 410. Captain Helmer of this Post has been given authority to se lect twenty-five men as his local quota and all aspirants are requested to file their application at Military Head quarters with the least possible delay. Dr. J. R. Wilson, at the Library wishes to secure good pictures of campus scenes. A dollar each will be paid for the ones used. In The Dial for September 5 Dr. Ferster has a book review of "Au dubon the Naturalist" by Francis H. Herrick. . CAROLINA DEFEATS WAKE FOREST IN HARD CONTEST GAME ENDS WITH BALL ONE FOOT FROM BAPTISTS' GOAL CAROLINA BACKS DID BIG WORK Gant, McNeely, Pharr, Lowe, and Others Showed Great Form for Us Rabenhorst Baptist Star In a good exhibition of gridiron warfare on Emerson Field Saturday afternoon, Carolina downed her an cient rival Wake Forest by the score of 13 to 7, the first game between S. A. T. C. Units in the state. The players on both sides showed a slight degree of nervousness and fumbled quite frequently, a result of the lim ited practice each team ha shad. Sev eral of Carolina's fumbles were costly and netted the Baptists long gains, while one of Wake Forest's fumbles gained us a touchdown in the second quarter. This was the first varsity football contest Carolina men have witnessed on the hill since 1917, there being no football last year; as a result of whch Carolina had no letter men back, while the Wake Forest linc-up contained six veterans. The entire Tar Heel eleven showed up well, every man who had a chance in the game proved, despite the short two weeks of practice, that Coach Ritch has the material for a winning team. Pharr at quarter displayed very good generalship; Captain Gant and McNeely played a great game, both on defense and offense; while Nichols, Kernodle and Brown were towers of strength in the line. The features for Wake Forest were the skillful executions of three forward passes by Clanchard and Rabenhorst, and the brilliant all-around playing of Captain Rabenhorst. In the first quarter after Wake Forest had received the ball and each team had fumbled, Carolina, by do ing the allied battering-ram stuff, carried the ball over for the first touchodwn. Lowe kicked goal after McNeely had gone over. Carolina's second touchdown came in the second, when after a series of smashing line plunges Lowe went over but failed to kick goal The first half ended with Wake Forest on the five yard line, as a result of three successfully executed forward passes. In the third quarter the good work of Herty, who substituted for Lowe, and Pharr were outstanding features. Captain Rabenhorst, of Wake Forest, on a fake forward pass at the be ginning of the fourth quarter, made a 65-yard run around end and landed at Carolina's 5-yard line. Fulton went over fo ra touchdown and Rabenhorst kicked goal. With a series of smash ing line plunges Carolina carried the ball within one foot of the goal in the last three minutes of play. Wake Forest held desperately and the ball went over on downs. The whistle blew. Carolina. Positions Wake Forest Powell .. '.
