EASY VICTIMS FOR
CAR. FRESHMEN
CAROLINA MEN LITERALLY
WALKED AWAY WITH
THE GAME
TEAM PENALIZED 25 YARDS
The Freshmen literally walked
through the Danville High School
eleven Tuesday at the rate of seventy
four to nothing. And the ease with
which the game was won is empha
sized still more when we know that
most of the last quarter was omitted
because of darkness.
The game was sewed up from the
beginning, Shepherd twice running
about fifty yards for touchdowns in
the first five minutes of play. Mc
Donald both times kicked goal. Two
more touchdowns were scored in the
quarter by Green and one by McGee.
The team continued to score at will
through the second quarter in which
Hamby distinguished himself by in
tercepting a forward pass and run
ning thirty yards for a touchdown.
The second half was opened with a
touchdown when Fischel kicked off
over the goal line and the ball was
fallen on by a Carolina man. The
scoring continued freely throughout
the third quarter.
In the early part of the fourth quar
ter a sensation was created by Mc
Donald who ran over the line from

300 High Schools to
Take Part in the High
High School Union
Mj-ore than 300 high schools are ex
pected to take part next spring in
the high school debating union of
North Carolina conducted by the Uni
versity of North Carolina, announce
ments for which have just been sent to
all the high schools in the state.
The query will be: "Resolved, that
the United States should adopt a
policy of further material restriction
of immigration," and the final con
test to decide the state championship
and the winner of the Aycock mem
orial cup will be held in Chapel Hill
early in April, 1920.
The high schools participating in
the debate will be arranged in groups
of three, each school having an af
firmative and a negative team, and
those schools winning both sides of
the debate will send their teams to
Chapel Hill for the final rounds and
the state championship. A bulletin
containing .outlines and arguments on
. hoth sides of the query and references
to further sources of information is
being prepared by the university and
will be sent to all schools.
This is the eighth year of the de
bating union which was started by

Di Society Continues
Debate on Covenant
Saturday night the Di Society again
took up matters of State in continu
ing discussions on the League of Na
tions. A reservation to the X article
to make America's participation in
foreign disputes and wars a matter
of her own option was introduced by
Mr. Cashatt, of Guilford. After the
usual debate, during which Aeolus
again turned loose his winds and the
Noble Beast (Bull) was allowed full
Privileges in the hall, a vote was
called for, and the reservation defeat-ed-
The X Article was adopted with
out reservations.
The Program Committee announces
a regular debate for Saturday night
upon the question of open and closed
shops. The program for November
will be composed entirely of Fresh
man activities. The committee has
found it necessary to do this, due to
the fact that few new men are dis
posed to take part in the debates as
carried out according to the Assem
bly plan. A general debate exclu
sively for Freshmen will be the fea
ture for November 29.
MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN
WILL BE BROUGHT TO
CLOSE ON NOV. 26TH.
Albert M Coates, secretary of the
Graham Memorial Fund, has an
nounced that the campaign for the
student union will end Wednesday
night, November 26, the eve of the
Carolina-Virginia football game. In
vitations have been sent to all the
directors of the Fund asking them to
attend the banquet to be given here
that night as a fitting close to the
campaign which started last spring.
The sum to be raised is $150,000
which will be spent in erecting, a
building for student activities. This
building is to be erected as a fitting
tribute to the memory of the late
president of the University, Edward
Kidder Graham, and is to be known
as the Graham Memorial Building.
There is a great need for such a
building on the University campus.
It will serve as the headquarters of
many student organizations on the
Hill, and the Y.M.C.A. will use part
of the building to further its activi
ties. The Philanthropic and Dialec
tic litreary societies will make the
student union their permanent quar
ters. The building will also serve as
a place of entertainment for visitors
on the Hill.
The students of the University are
very enthusiastic about the Graham
Memorial Building. In one night,
last spring, the students pledged
$20,000 as their part of the Fund.
The contributions ranged from $25
to $500 and the class of 1918 averaged
$75 per man.
The Central Committee from the
trustees consists of Governor T. W.
Bickett, Victor S. Bryant, George
Stephens, Leslie Weil and C. G.
Wright, from the state, W. A.
Erwin, Judge Peter C. Pritchard and
Dr. W. S. Rankin, from the faculty,
President H. W. Chase, Dr. W. M.
Day, Dr. L. R. Wilson, Mr. C. T.
Woolen and Mr. E. V. Howell.
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
OUTLINES HIGH SCHOOL
FALL FOOTBALL PLANS
Final plans have been made by the
Bureau of Extension for the sixth an
nual state high school football cham
pionship contest. According to the
regulations, any team which has play
ed three games and won them all, or
has played as many as four games
and won three-fourths of them, is
eligible to enter the championship se
ries. Teams throughout the State
which hold such a record shall notify
the University committee, of which
Mr. E. R. Rankin is secretary, before
November 17 of their desire to enter
the contest, and shall enclose a rec
ord of the games played.
Members of the committee will hold
a conference with representatives of
all teams eligible to enter the eastern
championship series at Raleigh dur
ing the early part of next week, while
a similar conference will be held with
representatives of the western teams
in Greensboro at the same time.
These conferences will arrange a
championship schedule, east and west,
in order to select by elimination the
two teams which will play in the fin
al contest at Chapel Hill.
The University committee pays one
half of the railroad fare to Chapel
Hill and return for the two teams
which will play in the championship
game.
As interest in high school football
is greater this year than ever before,
it is assured that competition for a
place in the final contest will be close.
The date of the final game has not
been fixed, since it is impossible to
predict the teams which will be eligi
ble for the final preliminaries, and
equally impossible to determine the
nature of the schedule which will be
arranged.
The Raleigh High School holds the
championship for the years 1913-1915,
while Charlotte has secured the hon
ors in the last two contests of 1916
and 1917.
First Year Men Meet
Bingham Cadets Today
The first year reserve team meets
the strong Bingham cadets on Emer
son Field this afternoon. From all
reports the Bingham team is the
strongest and most formidable eleven
the Freshmen have battled against
thus far this season. Their backfield
is exceptionally heavy having Led
better, of Chapel Hill High School
fame at half.
The Freshmen, after their 14-0 vic
tory over A. and E. and the 74-0 score
against Lynchburg High have round
ed into a fast and well-tranied eleven.
Coach Bond is well pleased with the
showing made thus far by the team.
This is the last game the Freshmen
will play on Emerson Field. The
final game of the season will be play
ed on Lambeth Field, in Charlottes
ville, November 22, against the Vir
ginia first year men.
BAD WEATHER HOLDS
UP ALL TOURNEMENTS
FOR FIRST OF WEEK
CLASS TEAMS HAVE ABOUT PER
FECTED ORGANIZATION
The completion of the class tourna
ments was held up this week by the
bad weather during the early part of
the week, so that not all the tourna
ments were finished at the time we
went to press. Good progress was
made last week however, so that
most of the classes had come down
to the finals through the process of
elimination, during the good weather
that prevailed last veetc.
The Seniors played off the final
match last Saturday, Washburn, who
was also Captain of the team last
year, winning in straight sets over
Gwynn, the runner-up. The second
man on the team has not yet been
settled. In the Junior tournament,
Wilson in the upper bracket advanc
ed into . the semi-finals by defeating
Brown in straight sets; the other
semi-finalist in the upper bracket
will be the winner of the Van Nop-pen-Noble
match, which has not yet
been played off. . In the lower bracket
Gardner advanced into the finals by
winning over Hester in a hard-fought
contest in which he was compelled
to go into extra sets. This leaves
Wilson, Van Noppen, Noble, and
Gardner among' the Juniors from

Plays Are Selected
by Carolina Playmakers;
To Be Presented Soon
With the first authors' reading of
plays on Wednesday night, the Caro
lina Playmakers have started serious
work on their first program of plays
to be given on the week before ex
aminations, probably December 12
and 13.
Five original folk-plays were read
by their authors before an interested
audience of Playmakers in Peabody
Auditorium. These plays were all
written this year in Professor Koch's
advanced playwriting course, English
34, and represented several new types
of North Carolina folk-life. Miss
Sparrow's, play, "Who Pays?" is a
drama of the life of the mills and pre
sents the tragedy of children who pay
the price of the conflict between mill
owners and the striking workers.
"The Portrait" by Dougald MacMil
lan is a play of the sea and the fisher
folk, dealing with the mystery of the
disappearance of Aaron Burr's daugh
ter and the discovery of her portrait
in the cottage of a fisherman who had
taken her in after her shipwreck.
Miss Lay's play, "The Hag," is a
comedy of North Carolina folk-superstition,
introducing an old woman
suspected of being a witch and the
tricks of two mischievous boys who
prove that she is a hag. "The Third
Night,' by Thomas Wolfe, is a drama
dealing with the murder of an old
mountain "witch man," the appear
ance of his ghost to the leader in the
crime and the mystery of his disap
pearance in the end. "The Voice of

TAR HEELS DESPITE
DEFEAT OF LAST WEEK
AWAIT VIRGINIANS
North Carolina's football machine
suffered a bad attack of carburetor
rheumatism last Saturday on Emer
son Field and V. M. I. won 29-7. The
Great God Dope left the field imme
diately after the game and his bel
lows of agony could be heard on the
campus until 10 o'clock that night,
when he died in Battle1 Park.
The game was replete with thrill
ing plays and first class football. The
trouble was: V. M. I. held the mono
poly. The fast. and powerful Carolina
backfield ripped through the V. M. I.
line and tore around the ends with
the speed of the agile steam tractor
as it leaps nimbly o'er the hillside.
The battle was friendly fought
throughout and the size of the score
was at all times in doubt. First Mr.
Leach, who attends school at V. M.
I., would grab the ball and race 40
yards up the field when Carolina's
unpregnable defence would stiffen
and throw him for a loss. Then Mr.
Leach would go around end for 15
yards only to run against the same

PHI GENERAL ASSEMBLY
DEFEATS EUGENICS BILL
The spirit with which the members
entered into the discussion of the last
two bills before the General Assembly
of the Phi Society is proof of the suc
cess of the new plan. While these
two bills were before the Society the
discussion never lagged.
Last Saturday night the bill was
one advocating that every applicant
for a marriage license in North Caro
lina should successfully pass a phy
sical examination before receiving
the license. It was introduced by the
Ways and Means Committee, Mr.
Pittman of that committee putting it
before the House arid discussing the
necessity for such a measure.
The advocaters of the bill met little
opposition until Mr. Grant rose and
threw a bomb in the argument of the
affirmative, by showing that it would
be detrimental to the lower classes
the very class it was intended to help.
A wave of opposition was then
turned towards the bill, and it was
hotly discussed pro and con until it
was so late that the Speaker called
for a vote. The results showed 21
for and 48 against.
Several new bills were introduced
after the debate. They will be fought
out in later meetings, and will no
doubt prove extremely interesting.
The regular election of officers of
the Society will take place next Saturn
day night.
PHARMACY ENROLLMENT
SURPASSES FORMER
RECORD OF ENROLLMENT
The enrollment of the Pharmacy
School is larger than ever before in
its history. The School is taking
care of the demand for druggists
throughout the state. This is a great
task for the demand is becoming
greater every day and the merits of
Pharmacy have been recognized.
You bet Doc. E. V. Howell and Prof.
Beard, who have by their energetic
efforts made our Pharmacy School,
and who are largely responsible for
Pharmaceutical efficiency of the state,
will see to it that this efficiency is
strengthened as time passes.
We appreciate the development of
the William Simpson Pharmaceutical
Society. Thirty-five new members
have been initiated within the past
month. Society pep is not lacking
and this pep was aroused Saturday
night, Nov. 8 when the society gave a
smoker that made each member ap
preciate his membership. The im
pression made by the decoration the
enjoyment of a good feed made every
one feel as if he could express him
self by exclaiming melaleuca leuca
dendron. The Society is planing work which
it hopes will be of interest and value
to the future Pharmacist.

TAR HEEL DEFENDERS
OF PIGSKIN SUFFER
DEFEAT BY CADETS
LEACH'S END RUNS TOO MUCH
FOR TAR HEEL BOYS
CAROLINA ON DEFENSIVE
The speedy team from V. M. I.
walked through Carolina last Satur
day on Emerson Field to the tune of
29 to 7. Although previous scores
this year pointed to a victory for the
home team, the lighter and faster
squad from Virginia outplayed Caro
lina in every phase of the game.
Marvellous interference, long end
runs, and skillful forward pass
ing characterized the playing of the
cadets. Carolina was on the defen
sive during most of the game. The
surprise that V. M. I. gave the stands
filled with spectators by scoring in
the first few minutes of play was the
beginning of many surprising runs
and drives.
The game began when Carolina
kicked off. By straight football, V.
M. I. made a touchdown. They failed
to kick goal.
A 63-yard run by Leach in the same
quarter made the score 13 to 0. A
delayed forward pass to Mason netted
the Virginia team another touchdown.
Carolina rallied at the beginning of
te second half. Two successful for
ward passes and a plunge across the
goal line by Tenney caused the only
score for the University. Blount
kicked the gcal.
Leach, for V. M. I., continued dur
ing the second half, to break loose for
long runs. In the last few minutes
of play, Carolina came near scoring

North Carolina Club
Discusses Educational
System of North Car.
Discussing the possibility for much
improvement in the educational sys
tem of our state, was the theme of
the Carolina Club at its regular meet
ing, Monday night.
Mr. H. F. Latshaw, chairman of
the educational committee, introduc
ed the subject by speaking on Educa
tional Ideals. Mr. Latshaw main
tained that democracy in education
was just as important as democracy
in government, and that our present
system does not embody the ideals of
democracy. A system of education
must be secured, he declared, that
will provide for education to the old
as well as the young.
Mr. Latshaw was followed by the
members of his committee who cited
various defects that existed in our
educational system at the present
time. The one outstanding recom
mendation called for the abolishment
of the unit system so that the large
number of small schools could be con
solidated This plan would result in
the establishment of at least one good
school in every county instead of
many one-teacher schools as exist at
the present time.
This was the first time that the edu
cation committee has made an official
report. The committee is now get
ting to work in dead earnest to pre
pare its plans which will be submitt
ed to the State Reconstruction Com
mission. Public health will be discussed at
the next meeting of the club, Monday,
November 24.
Sophs Defeat Juniors
by Six to NothinglScore
In a very hard fought game Wed
nesday afternoon the Sophomores fin
ally won out over the Juniors by a
six to nothing score. Neither team
had a considerable margin over the
other and it was anybody's game un
til the last whistle. The Juniors,
though strong on offensive and like
wise good on their defensive work in
most stages of the contest, were nev
er able to concert their efforts enough
to score.
