CAROLINA CRUSHES BLUE DEVILS IN FIERCE CONTEST
W. N. EVERETTE
CHIEF SPEAKER
UNIVERSITY DAY
Tells Students to Know Their
State. "Know her and you
will love her."
UNIVERSITY'S BIRTHDAY
The one-hundred and thirtieth an
niversary of the laying of the cor
nerstone of the first building of the
University, the first state university
in the country, was fittingly obser
ved' yesterday with a long procession
of students, faculty, and alumni, and
with services in Memorial Hall where
W. N. Everett, Secretary of State of
North Carolina and trustee of the
University, delivered the annual ad
dress. A spirit of sadness was partially
cast over the celebration by Pres
ident Chase's brief and simple words
in the memory of Lucius Polk Mc
Gehee, Dean of the Law School, who
died Thursday in Richmond.
President Chase announced that
the registration at that date was
2124, and that the building com
mittee decided Thursday to go for
ward at once with the construction
of three dormitories across the Ra
leigh road east of the new quad
rangle. Mr. Everett in his address said
"In the building of the nation
when the 13 colonies were being
welded into one, the leadership eas
ily rested with Virginia.
"When the question of slavery be
came paramount in the minds of men
that leadership passed to South
Carolina. -
"When the nation went to war and
for four bloody years brother fought
against brother; when the war was
over and the armies disbanded; when
the Northern soldier returned in
glory, amidst the shouting and the
acclaim of a triumphant people, to
their homes untouched by the blight
of war; when the Southern soldier
ragged and wounded, and with a
weary spirit, straggled back to his
people in want, and in many instan
ces, to a home in ashes; to a country
so poor it had nothing, had nothing
to get nothing with, and had nothing
to put it in": when the wounds of a

DEAN MCGEHEE
OF LAW SCHOOL
PASSES AWAY
Has Been Dean of University
Law School for the past
Thirteen Years.
BEEN ILL SEVERAL WEEKS
Lucius Polk McGehee, Dean of the
School of Law at the University,
died early Thursday morning at 5:30
o'clock at the Westbrook Sanatorium,
Richmond, Va., following an illness
of several weeks.
Dean McGehee had been relieved
temporarily of active duties as head
of the Law School, at a recent meet
ing of the Board of Trustees, and it
was thought that he would resume
his duties at the beginning of the
winter quarter, provided he was suf
ficiently recovered from his l'ecent
illness to do so.
News of his death was received by
friends in Chapel Hill, numbering
members of the Faculty and students
of the University, with a pall of
great sorrow. The active head of
the Carolina Law School for 13
years, and several years previous to
1910 a professor in the Law School,
he was known and loved by many
who view his departure from this
life with regret.
The deceased stuck closely to his
profession of law, either as lawyer
or teacher, throughout a major por-!
tion of his life. He inscribed his
name on the state's history as one

TAG FOOTBALL
WELL UNDER WAY
Grimes and Mangum Won From
Smith and Manly Res
pectively Thursday
Tag football stock is bein;r rapidly
raised, as evidenced by Thursday's
two games. More interest is shown
than was expected at the beginning.
If it continues as at present, each
student will soon belong to some ath
letic organization, and Intra-Mural
mass athletics will have accomplished
the purpose for which it was organ
ized. A change in the rules is being con
templated, and if put into effect, the
winner of a tie game will be decided
by the number of first downs. By
that the necessity of playing off many
tie games will be avoided. But, in
order to get the change, a meeting of
the managers may have to be called
early next week.
Thursday's games were played be
tween Mangum and Manley, Grimes
and Smith. Mangum and Manly were
pretty well matched and only the
safety coming in the second quarter
kept the game from being another
.scoreless tie. The results were, no
penalties, six first downs for Man
gum, to two first downs for Manly.
Mangum had five intercepted pass
es and six completed passes to her
creit. Manly had to her credit three
intercepted passes and five com
pleted passes.
The score was Mangum 2, Manly 0.
In the game of Grimes vs Smith,
Grimes had three penalties, four
first downs, four intercepted passes,;
and eight completed passes. Smith
drew one penalty, intercepted four
forward passes, made two first downs
and completed five passes.
Grimes made a touchdown in the j
third quarter when Gibbons got thru j
the lines and ran forty yard with-j
out being tagged. They failed to j
carry the ball across for the ?xtra ;
point, tso the score stood G-0. I

The Freshman team, following a
week of bucking the Varsity line, will
continue their efforts toward going
through the season with an unblem
ished record when they meet Oak
Ridge Institute on Emerson Field
this afternoon. The Cadets came
over to Durham yesterday and wit
nessed the Carolina-Trinity game
and from there over to the Hill.
Coaches Pritchard, Shepherd and
Johnston have spared no pains in
their efforts to turn the vast num
bers of promising high school play
ers into a team that will walk away
with all its Prep, school and Fresh
man games. Following their 0-6
tie with Mars Hill College the Fresh
men have been through extensive
drills aimed toward better teamwork
and have spent a solid week in prac
ticing against the Varsity, preparing
one for Trinity and the other for
Oak Ridge.
The Oak Ridge players completely
overran the Elon College scrubs last
week and showed much improvement
over the team that was defeated by
the strong Rockingham team earlier
in the season by the score of 7-0 but
since then there have been vast chan
ges and the team is now of the
strongest in the State.

GRADUATE MANAGER SOUNDS OUT
STUDENT OPINION ON V.M. I. GAME
Mr. Woollen" Gives Out Figures Showing Just What the Students
Receive for Their Athletic Fee cf Ten DDl!ars
By THE HAYSHAKER
The V. M. I. game is to be played in Richmond and the
Davidson game here. Such was the decision reached by a joint
faculty and student committee in session in President Chase's
office Wednesday night. Decision in the matter had been re
served for seme time in the University's contract the V. M. I.
game could bo, played here and was arrived at only after careful
and mature consideration on the part of the committee.
Great pressure has been brought to bear on Manager
Woollen and the athletic committee during the, past two weeks.
Hundreds of telegrams, including those of prominent Virginia
State officials, have been sent to Chapel Hill urging that the game
be, played in Richmond and this with the guarantee that the seat
ing capacity of Mayo Island Park would be 12,000 for the day and
a minimum crowd of 10,000 for the game, -.luenced the com
mittee in its decision.
The attitude which the student body would take on the re
moval of the game to Richmond was carefully sought out by the
faculty committee. On being questioned C. B. Colton, Heinie
Lineberger, Bretney Smith, and Bruton expressed the opinion
that no dissatisfaction would be caused if one of the games were
played here.
The proposition which confronts University athletics is
that it all must be financed by the profits from the football season.
The track, freshman, volley ball and tennis schedules are all dtad
losses. The basketball season rarely breaks even and the suc
cess cf the baseball season depends on the liberality of J.
Pluvius.
Under the existing contract with V. M. I. if the University
so desired' the game could be removed from Richmond to Chapel
Hill this year. In the same way, V. M. I. could the place next
year, it is considered highly probable that in case tne univer
sity officials had decided for the Hill site that V. M. I. would have
insisted on playing the game next year in Lexington. Lexing
ton is far removed from any of the large cities in Virginia, and
its train service poor, so next year's game would be far from lucrative.
The committee expressed the opinion that many of the
stude.nts hold a mistaken idea of the athletic fee, considering that

States.
Durham, Oct. 12. Trinity,
the boastful and bombastic, fell
before the superior playing of
Carolina and went down to de
feat, 14-6, this afternoon on
Hanes Field. Fully seven thous
and students, alumni and sup
porters of the two institutions
were packed within the confines
of the brick wall and saw the
University team decisively de
feat the Methodists and defi
nitely eliminate them from the
championship race. The band
was also on hand to aid to the
glory of the occasion.
Carolina Outplays Trinity
Characterized by the Trinity
Chronicle as a team "Too frail and
delicate to face Yale," the Carolina
Varsity had but little real trouble in
battering Coach Steiner's angels from
their place in the sun and sending
them back to keep company with the
smaller institutions of the state.
The score falls far short of telling
the true story. -None of her pre
cious passes were completed and she
was strikingly unsuccessful in her
attack through the line and around
the ends. In face of this Carolina
actually crossed the goal line three
times and twice carried the ball to
within five yards of a touchdown.
Randolph Star of Game
"Goat" Randolph was easily the
most brilliant and "consistent player
on the field. Somewhat of a disap
pointment in the Wake Forest game,
the Asheville boy completely redeem
ed himself and won the universal ad
miration from both sides of the
field. Time after time, he took the
ball, bent low and crashed through

75 NEW MEMBERS
IN GERMAN CLUB
German Club Holds First Meet
ing of the Year on Thursday.
The first meeting of the local branch
of the A. I. E. E. was called to or
der by President Brown in Phillips
Hall, on Thursday, October 4.
The society listened to intersting
talks by the Engineering Faculty, and
plans were laid for a lively year in
;he Engineering Department.
H. C. Klingenschmitt, of Lockport,
N. Y., is secretary of the Society.
Over 75 new members were voted
into the German Club at the first
meeting held Thursday in Memorial
Hall. The Club, after thoroughly dis
cussing the advisability of letting
Freshmen attend the Easter dances
on account of the new pledging and
initiating rules, decided by unani
mous vote that freshmen shall not
be allowed to attend dances on the
hill prior to the Finals.
The meeting was short and to the
point. Lists of the memlers to be
voted on were read. There was not
a single man balled as usual.
The report of the treasurer, John
Bonner, showed that the Club has
satisfactorily met all obligations and
has a small surplus on hand to be
used on the fall dances. The report
met with the approval of i..o-e pre
sent. Business was carried through
with dispatch by President Tommie
Shepard who concluded the meeting
with the appointing of an executive
committee.
