CROWDS
MASQUE A GORGEOUS PANORAMA
From the first trumpet call of the
heralds of youth until the triumphant
spirits of youth faded into the sur
rounding darkness at the conclusion
of the epilogue, the Tercentenary
pageant-masque, "Raleigh, Shepherd
of the Ocean," presented, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights at
the baseball park in Raleigh by . its
citizens held in much enchantment the
crowds which watched its perform
ance. 5
Those in the audience, who had
wondered what a community pageant
was like, anyway, had their curosity
satisfied beyond their imaginings
when they saw a gorgeous panorama
of rainbow colors thrown against a
lonely green background of pines:
witnessed a profusion of gay and
rollicking dances as well as many of
the aesthetic type, extraordinary well
executed; listened to the swell of a
great chorus and beheld the courage
ous idealist and explorer, Raleigh and
his famous contemporaries, come to
life before their eyes through the Dra
matic interpretation of fellow towns
men who brought to their perform
ance a surprising amount of genuine
talent.
The part of Raleigh in his youth
.was portrayed in a spirited manner
by Mr. Walter Simpson, and Dr. W.
C. Horton, as the elder, in his por
trayal of .Raleigh in his tragic later
years rendered the part with a pathos
and nobility of character which was
truly great.

DR. CHASE SPEAKS IN CHAPEL
ON CAROLINA SPORTSMANSHIP
DR. CHASE PRAISES STUDENTS
FOR FINE SPIRIT SHOWN IN
RALEIGH
Friday morning in Chapel Dr. Chase
talked on true sportmanship. As his
example he used the true sportman
ship that was displayed by the Caro
lina team and student body at Raleigh
on last Thursday. "I think," he said,
"that any man who was there came
back with a pride and love, and. con
fidence in the team which he did not
have before."
We were defeated, it is true, and
there is no use trying to make ex
cuses. We were beaten by a superior
team and we admit it But we should
use this defeat "as a challenge and
not a discouragement."
The people of the state are "proud
of you and of the team," he told us,
"and proud of the fighting spirit that
was shown by both the team and the
students throughout the entire game."
Even with the odds against them the
student body stood firmly behind the
team. The team showed its real fight
ing spirit when the end of the ball
was on our goal line and it took four
trials to put it across.
A bigger and better thing than to
score is to show a high, fine clean
sportmanship. Are we downhearted?
To put it mildly, as Dr. Chase said,
No." "Then let us take renewed con
fidence in self-standard, fair play, etc.
"Is there a man who is not proud
i mat team?" if there is, he is not
a true Carolina man. But, on Thanks
giving Day, "The touchdowns that will
be made against Virginia at Char
lottesville will make everything all
right." "Let this be a rallying point.
Don't be discouraged and lie down in
defeat. Let us make defeats chal
lenges." Studying Law at U. N. C.
C H. Oliver, for many years a
professor at Oak Ridge Institute, and
a frequent contributor to the edi
torial page of the Greensboro Daily
News, is studying law at the University.
CLASS ATHLETIC ROOM
LOCATED IN STADIUM
The class athletic committee
has secured athletic equipment
and established a supply room
under the west stadium. Foot
balls, basketballs, volley balls
and boxing gloves may be se
cured here by any student from
two until six every afternoon,
the only requirement being that
they must be signed for and re
turned the same day. The ath
letic committee has made this
arrangement to allow individual
students who for any reason
cannot get varsity training, the
privilege of athletic develop
ment along any line in which
they may be interested. There
will be an abundance of equip
ment so that the various class
teams, scrub teams and dormi
tory teams will not have to sus
pend activities because others
are practicing at the same time.
It will be remembered that the
Y. M. C. A. formerly issued
such supplies, before the work
was "delayed to a class athV
letic committee for the purpose.
DIALECTIC SOCIETY FAVORS
HOME RULE FOR IRELAND
R. C. KISER AND C. H. OLIVER
ARE INTIATED BY DIALECTIC
SOCIETY
An open forum discussion on the
question of whether England should
grant home rule to Ireland and the
initiation of R. C. Kiser and C. H
Oliver into the society were the two
features of the meeting of the Dialec
tic Society Saturday night. After the
class of the discussion, the society
voted in favor of going on. record as
favoring home rule for Ireland.
The question was introduced by R.
L. Davis, who expressed himself as
opposing home rule for Ireland. Eng
land's liberal treatment of Ireland and
Irish dependence upon England were
his main reason for disapproving the
measure.
S. M. Cathey followed with three
forceful reasons for not granting
home rule to Ireland. Lack of unity
among the Irish and other conditions
that make them incapable of self-government.
W. E. White made the point that
the right of government rests on the
consent of the governed.
H. C. Heffner favored home Rule as
the only way to satisfy the Irish and
settle the problem.
C. W. Phillips compared Ireland's
present situation with that of the
thirteen American colonies when they
were striving to obtain their inde
pendence.
J. L. Apple advanced the right of
liberty and freedom as one of the
reason's for granting home rule.
Joe Erwin explained the religious
conditions in Ireland, and also gave
some reasons for granting home rule.
Messrs. Wills and Schwartz defended
the negative while Messrs. Shepherd
and C. J. Williams spoke in favor of
the affirmative.
Geologists Get the
Habit and "Organize"
Monday night mmbers of the De
partment of Geology, including gradu
ates and undergraduates students, as
sembled to revive the work and ac
tivities of the former Geology Club,
instituting, however, in the place of
this latter club the Journal Club which
is similar in purpose and activity to
the former. The Journal Club will
meet every two weeks on Wednesday
evening, the next meeting being ac
cordingly schduled for November 3rd.
It is the plan of the Club to assign
regular work among its members, and
articles and these touching the field
of geology will be read at the differ
ent meetings by both those pursuing
graduate and undergraduate work in
geology.

BUREAU OF EXTENSION WORKS
TO BEAUTIFY SCHOOL GROUNDS
DEPARTMENT OF BUREAU HELPS
SCHOOLS IN IMPROVEMENT
OF THEIR GROUNDS
In order to promote the beautifica
tion of school grounds in North Caro
lina, the -Bureau of Extension has es
tablished a new division called the Di
vision of Designs and Improvement
of School grounds, under the imme
diate direction of Dr. W. C. Coer,
Kenan Professor of Botany and Di
rector of the University Arboretum.
and Miss Eleanor Hoffman, who will
t . -
serve as secretary of the division of
field work.
To facilitate its work and to present
the program of ground improvements
which it contemplates the division is
now preparing an extensive bulletin
which will contain twenty or more de
signs for actual and hypothetical
school grounds, together with photo
graphs of illustrative plantings from
various sources such as the Univer
sity arboretum, private grounds, mills,
community houses, together with a
few typical construction designs of
arbors, walks, etc., each general de-
sign to be accompanied by a planting
plan showing the plants to be used
The text of the Bulletin will consist
of general advice as to principles of
planting so as to secure desirable ef
fects, together with description of
trees, shrubs, and flowers recommend
ed for use in the three main sections
of the State east, middle and west.
A second purpose of the Division is
the giving of direct assistance through
personal visits by Miss Hoffman to
any school that indicates a desire for
help. Miss Hoffman will also visit
other organizations as opportunity
allows, in order to arouse interest in
the general subject of the beautifica
tion of grounds.
In offering this service the Bureau
will follow the usual practice which
obtains in all its service no charge
will be made for personal visits, ex
cept that it is expected that the trav
eling expenses of the field worker will
be borne by the school or organization
visited. Similarly no charge will be
made for information which can be
furnished through correspondence and
copies of the Bulletin will be sent free
to any Resident of North Carolina up
on application.

DAVIDSON SCRUBS
TAKE THE GAME
FROM FRESHMEN
FIRST YEAR MEN HOLD VISITORS
.. TO A MODERATE
SCORE
PRESBYTERIANS WIN 10 TO 0
Fighting fiercely against more ex
perienced and seasoned opponents the
Carolina first year team lost its first
game of the season Saturday to the
Davidson scrubs by the score of 10
to 0. The Freshmen more than held
their own during the first half, keep
ing the ball constantly within strik
ing distance of their opponent's goal.
The weather was much too hot for
football, and had its effect upon the
players, making numerous substitu
tions necessary. Several minor . in
juries also marked the contests
Honeycutt, of the Freshmen, sustain
ed a sprained ankle, and two David
son men were unable to continue the
game.
The first half ended 0 to 0, and it
was not until the third quarter that
Davidson was able, by a series of
passes and shift formations, to put
across the only touchdown of the
game. A field goal, obtained during
the same quarter netted them three
additional points.
In the fourth quarter the Freshmen
again threatened by a steady march
down the field from their own twenty
yard line to Davidson's 15 yard mark,
but the time keeper's whistle inter
vened, preventing an almost certain
score.
For the Freshmen the work of Gil
liam at half, Lee, and Waadward
stands out, though the whole team de
serves mention for the strong fight
put up against the Scrubs.
The Freshmen line up was as fol

ANNOUNCE RULES FOR HIGH
SCHOOL FOOTBALL CONTEST
COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES REGU
LATIONS FOR CHAMPION
SHIP GAMES
The committee representing jointly
the Bureau of Extension and the Gen
eral Athletic Association of the. Uni
versity of North Carolina makes an
nouncement of the seventh annual
state championship contest in high
school football for North Carolina
high schools. The high school foot
ball championship contests were in
stituted in the fall of 1913 and have
been held each year since with the ex
ception of 1918 when war conditions
prevented. A great interest has been
taken in the contests on the part of
the high schools, and the final games
for the State championship played on
Emerson field, Chapel Hill, between
the best team of the East and the best
team of the West, have been excel
lent exhibition ot football and have
awakened keen Interest throughout
the state.
The contests were organized bv the
Bureau of Extension and the General
Athletic Association of the Univer
sity, with the hearty co-operation of
the school men of the State, in order
to encourage in a systematic fashion
the playing of football in North Caro
lina high schools, with the idea that
lessons learned on the football field
are vauable and helpful not only in a.
player's immediate physical develop
ment but that . such lessons are of
measurable value to him through life.
At tne seventh annual contest be
gins, the committee makes a straight
appeal to each school and to each
team to see to it that the best" of
sportsmanship prevails at every game
played by high schools' in the state
this season. It is, of course, far better
to lose a game by a heavy score than
to win, having the victory accom
panied by any evidence of poor sport-
mansmp. ine nonor and distinction
which sportsmanlke teams brine- to
their high schools are potent factors
in developing school spirit and in
building up traditions which are price
less. (Continued on page four)
