CAROLINA MEETS WAKE FOREST HERE TO-DAY CAROLINA MEETS WAKE FOREST SAT; TEAM CONFIDENT OF VICTORY .i TEAM EXPERIENCED IN DEFEN SIVE BALL; BAPTISTS HAVE STRONG OUTFIT PLAY A. AND E. OCTOBER 22 Closo Game With State College Ex pected; Have Heavy Aggregation Returning to the gridiron after an absence of three years, the University of North Carolina varsity football eleven has journeyed north twice in the last two weeks and met the powerful Rut gers and Yale teams, holding both to scores highly satisfactory to Carolina 's supporters. Followers of the game here consider the team 's showing indicative of a successful season. In the initial game of the season Rut gers defeated North Carolina by a 19-0 srore, profiting by the Southerners' fum bling in the first half. The powerful Yale eleven beat the Tar Heels last Sat urday by a 34-7 ssore, Yale 's goal line being irossed for the first time this season by the North Carolina team. In both these contests the light Carolina eleven was outweighted an average of twenty pounds to the player and was forced to wage a defensive battle. North Carolina's punting in both contests made considerable gains for the blue and white, Coleman outpunting nis opponents in both games by a liberal margin. When the North Carolina team meets Wala Tnrrst Ium Suturdar- in tho first game of the season on the local field, it will present a line-up well seasoned in defensive worn because of its previous encounters and eager to unleash a smash ing attack on the strong Baptist out fit. Although confident of victory, Caro lina supporters here are expecting a hard' contest since the Wake Forest squad has developed a defense that held the much touted Georgia Tech eleven to a 14-0 victory two weeks ago. , October 23rd is the banner day of state football, this year. The University, having last year renewed athletic rela tions with North Carolina A. and E., will meet the latter institution in Raleigh on the above date for the first time in many years. Football interest throughout the state is centered in this contest. The student bodies of both institutions are aroused to a high pitch of excitement ' and both teams are confident of victory. A. and E. has piled up massive scores against the comparative weas uumoru and Naval Training Ship teams, but suffered a 49-0 defeat when it played Navy at Annapolis a week ago. State College supporters declare, however, that Navy's easy victory was due to an un due amount of confidence on A. and E. 's part and that the difference between the teams was by no means as large as the score indicates. The heavy state college team will prob ably outweigh the University squad ten Pounds or more the Tar Heels being handicapped by a team average of little more than 170 pounds. North Carolina, however, is confident that its experience with heavier elevens combined with a Powerful, driving attack will counterbal ance any difference in weight. Four games remain on the North Caro lina schedule after the state college contest. V, M. I., Tennessee and David son are played successively and the sea son is culminated by the annual classic with the University of Virginia, for many years played at Richmond, but this year at Chapel Hill on Thanksgiving ay. Gridiron fans here are reserving comment on the probable result of this contest as little information has been gained yet as to the strength of the Old Dominion fllnvon ,ym. A.

Company has Perfected its plans for the Coming Year The schedules of drills for the coming year at the University of North Caro lina are now complete. . They were pre pared under the provision of the new Special Regulations governing the Re serve Officers Training Corps in all the universities and colleges throughout the country. The new schedule presents to the student a course which is not only thoroughly instructive but most interest ing. It is based upon the plan of hav ing the officer know fully the duties of the private and non commissioned offi cer before passing on to the learning of the special knowledge he must possess. The work is divided into three parts, practical, class room or conference work and lectures. In this manner the steady continuous close order drill on the pa rade ground is reduced to the minimum. The course of 108 hours for the fresh man year includes the subjects of Or ganization, Military Courtesy and Disci pline, Drill, close and entended order, Care and Handling of Arms and Equip ment, Small Arms Firing, Personal Hy giene, First Aid and Sanitation, In terior Guard Duty, Minor Tactics, Map and B H Relief Map Problems, Moral, and Physical Training. In addition the course for sophomores includes Liaison for all Arms, Topography and Map Reading, Signalling, Field Engineering, and Orders and Messages, It has just recently been decided that credit for one full course each year will be given. Those in charge are expect ing 120 from the Sophomore class as this was the number that indicated their intention of taking the R. O. T. C. course last spring by signing up. It is hoped that 200 men can be secured from the Freshman class as equipment for 300 men has been requisitioned. The men will be divided into four companies, A, B, C, and D. The first two companies i. e. A. and B. will be made up of Sophomores while the Fresh men will be placed in companies C and D. The plan . is to get as much theory here and leave the practice for the sum mer camp. That is the men will not be burdened with an excessive amount of tiresome close order drill. The work here is in charge of Major F. W. Boye, U, S. Cavalry. Major Boye is a graduate of West Point class of 1915, was stationed with the 5th Cavalry at Ft. Leavenworth, accom panied Pershing on the Mexican puni- I tive expedition, was then transferred to the 17th Cavalry and stayed on the border until Aug 18, was then sent to Camp Devens Mass. with the 12 Divi sion and has now been assigned to the University of North Carolina. Major Boye hopes to have a unit large enough to have a battalion organiza tion, the formation of which would per mit the appointment of student officers and non commissioned officers from major to corporal. Part of the time will be devoted to ceremonies and it is hoped that the men who return here for com mencement next year will be treated to the sight of a Carolina battalion of pa rade and review. The following equipment will be used: ! ii .. i-i. : l : i . i l viuiiuiig is pruvmeu uy uiw govern ment.

C, OCTOBER UNIV. 126 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED AT HARV'D BY CAROLINA STUDENTS TWENTY CAROLINA MEN MEET AT BANQUET CAROLINA CLUB IS ORGANIZED Characterized by an atmosphere which mingled traditions of Davie Poplor and the Boston Tea Party, and paying tribute at once to the names of the late Edward K. Graham and John Harvard Carolina men at Harvard cele brated the University's 126th birthday Saturday, October 11, by an alumni din ner at the Parker House in Boston. "The University of North Carolina prospective and retrospective" was' a theme that afforded ample opportunity for reviving those memories and asso ciation which become ; fixed in the life of every son she rears. An informal organization at the close of the evening resulted in the selec tion of Mangum Weeks, '15, president of the groups and Wm. H. Stephen son, secretary. Carolina men taking work at Harvard University this year include: C. L. Abernathy, '21 arts, Frank Allen, '17 law, D. H.

ATHLETICS FOR EVERYONE ALL THE TIME, IS PLAN CAPTAIN BROWN IS DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF STUDENT ATHLETICS Along with Harvard, Yale and other leading Universities that have instituted mass athletics the Uunversity of North Carolina sets a new departure in the way of equipment and training facili ties for men who are interested in all or any form of athletics but who are not sufficiently specialized in one line to make the varsity team, to have every man taking part in athletics of some form. This form of athletics is the direct outgrowth of the success and popu larity attained by this method in the training camps during the war. The University has secured Capt. Thos. J. Browne, 35th Division to take charge of this important work. Capt. Browne was Commandant of Bayonet and Physical Training at Camp Gordon before the armistice was signed, when he was sent to Washington, D. C. and had charge of the physical training in all the convalescent camps in the United States. The methods used by Capt. Browne at Camp Gordon were adopted in all the camps throughout the coun try. Capt. Browne wishes to enlist the ser vices of all letter men who are inter ested, as instructors in the particular branch of athletics in which they ex cell. The students will be divided into small units, each in charge of one of these letter men. Each dormitory will be asked to elect a manager whtf will in turn pick a team to represent that dormitory in the series to be played between the various buildings. There will also be a league for the fraternities and one for the men who are rooming out in town. " Special attention will be called to soccer as this sport is being played with increasing importance by the big northern universities where it has prac tically reached a position on par with that of basketball. The football field and the Class Field will be divided so as to make four separate places where the game can be played. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH 17, 1919 12 Applications to Date for the Next Rhodes Scharlorship The Rhodes Scholarship for North Car olina will be awarded October 30, accord ing to an announcement made by Presi dent H. W. Chase, of the University of North Carolina, chairman of the com mittee to select the representative for the state. Twelve applications have already been made for this scholarship, which is the largest number in any one year, and from the number of inquiries, President Chase said, there is a greater amount of interest among the colleges of the state than there has ever been before. By the terms of the scholarship, the gift of the late Cecil Rhodes, a North Carolina college student, preferably a graduate, may go to Oxford Univer sity, England, for three years' study, with all expenses paid. This is the first time no entrance examinations will be required, and the winner may choose any course' of study he desires. Any college in the state may nomi nate its candidates to the selecting com mittee, which is composed of the presi dent of the state university and two former Rhodes scholars. As there are now no former Rhodes scholars living in North Carolina, the committee is composed, besides (President Chase, of two former Rhodes scholars from Vir ginia, the Rev. Beverly D. Tucker, rec tor of St. Paul's Memorial Church, Uni versity, Va., and W. A. Stuart, a law yer of Big Stone Gap, Va. With 300 already delivered and 900 shipped, the supply of freshman hand books will be adequate to meet all de mands expected to be made for these books of instruction, it was learned yes terday from the Y. M. C. A. secretary who will issue them to applicants. The. books, which are expected to ar rive within the week, are neatly bound and stamped in gold lettering with the seal of the University, and contain in formation for new men on practically every problem encountered on the hill. All applicants should see Secretary Wunsch at once for a copy of the "freshman Bible." If you are interested in work for the betterment of the negroes in the com munity ; If you want to help in the rural Sun day Schools, and thereby get some fresh air from the walk and meet the folks you are to live with the next year or so; If you have ever been a Boy Scout or Scoutmaster and want to continue your work among scouts; If you are interested in playground development among mill operatives at Carrboro ; See Secretary Wunsch at the Y. M. C. A. With a comparatively low attendance from the University, the Blue Ridge conference of students from all the principal southeastern colleges came to a close the last of J une and the follow ing men from Carolina were in attend ance: G. D. Crawford, W. W. Stout, S. H. Willis, and W. R. Wunsch. Secretary Wunsch remained at Blue Ridge for the conference between the Y. M. C. A. secretaries of the couth eastern colleges which was in session the entire summer and consisted of a study of methods of administration in "Y" work and included lectures by prominent college men, among them be ing addresses on Christian Ethics by Dr. E. M. Poteat, formerly of Furman university and an address on the prob lems of community socialism delivered by Dr. H. H. Home. Freshmen are at present required to take part in this training and later d equipment will be provided so that the upper classmen may all be accommo dated. New courts are to be built and Memorial Hall is to be fitted up as a court. Another feature that will be of in terest is . the lessons in boxing. Two hundred pairs of gloves have been asked for and soon an opportunity for pum meling your neighbor in the most scien tific and approved fashion will be given. CAROLINA Number 2 STRONG YALE ELEVEN SCORED ON BY TEAM 34-7 SCORE IN GAME OUTWEIGHTED TWENTY POUNDS CAROLINA FIGHTS ELI FOR EVERY INCH YALE TEAM TRICKED BY PHARR University Quarter Back Scores by Cun ning Stratagem; Coleman Out punts Yale Backs In the first Yale-Carolina game in the history of the two institutions, the varsity eleven spread joy in the hearts of all Tar Heels by crossing the Elis goal line for the first time this season. The game was played in an almost op pressive heat, which tended to make it drag a little, though the unusually large crowd of about 10,000 seemed to i i, i. i.1 enjoy n greauy, especially wnen ine Carolina eleven made their lone score in the last three minutes of play. The Carolinians were unable to pene trate the heavy Yale line at any time during the game. Their only touchdown came almost at the end of the game, when Lowe, substitute for Coleman, punted, and "Chuck" Pharr slipped through and fell on the ball behind the Yale goal line after a Yale player had touched the ball. The touchdown was ruled legitimate by Referee Laigh ford, and the Carolina contingent went wild with glee, while the stands cheered the visitors heartily, at the expense of their own team. The Eli eleven scored in the first few minutes of play, when North Carolina fumbled the kickoff, pushing the ball over with a few line plunges. The second touchdown came as a result of a similar fumble on the visitors' twenty-yard line in the second quarter. The third touchdown was scored , in the third period by a series of line-smashing gains combined with a 50-yard broken field run by La Roche, the Blue quarterback. Yale's last two touchdowns were the result of line smashing xgains, varied with several forward passes. For Carolina the all-rosnd work of Tenny featured the work of the back field, while Coleman starred in the punt ing, easily outkicking Aldrich and Mur phy, who did the booting for the Elis. Coleman's kicks averaged forty-six yards, while Yale's punts covered a distance of seventy yards. Yale es sayed five forward passes, completing three, while The Carolinians successfully finished two out of four trials. It is belived that the excellent prac tice and experience gained from the Yale game and the Rutgers game of a week ago will stand the team in good stead when it comes to battle with Wake Forest tomorrow at Emerson Field. Most of the bruises and injuries received in the Yale game should be well healed by that time, and Coach Campbell is putting the squad through the gruel ling practice daily that should show its effects when the Baptists appear on the local gridiron tomorrow. The line-up follows: Yale North Carolina Reinhardt Cochrane left end Hamill Pritchard left tackle Acosta Barden left guard Callahan Blount center Gait .
