THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC; ASSOCIATION VOL. 19 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY MARCH 1, 1911 NO. 35. VARSITY UCKS WOODBERRY BUT LOSES TO CHRISTIANS PRESTON CUP CONTEST VISIT OF BISHOP STRANGE "RONEY BOYS" CONCERT I PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE IS FORMALLY REACHES IN GERRARD HALL Our Quint is in "Bloody" Slump. Bump Against Virginia Tonight.

(By Telegraphic Correspondence.) Woodberry Forest, Feb. 28. Carolina won from Wood berry Forest this afternoon 23-11 in a game as dull and as slow as the Lynchburg affair of last night. Local players were clearly outclassed. Carolina was slow and listless, but managed to keep a safe lead.

Coach Cartmell is in a rotten humor over the squad's work. "They are on a bloody slump," he says. Virginia will play two different men tomorrow. The Bishop Delivers an Impressive Sermon to a Large Congregation. i No visitor is more geuuiely welcomed by faculty and students than is Bishop Robt.

Strange. He is welcomed not only as a former student of the University whose position and gifts have won wide prominence. He wins his own welcome by charm of personally and power of preaching. On last Sunday he preached at the Episcopal church in the morning and at Gerrard Hall at night. The theme of both sermons was "How to know God," not with argument for the existence of God, about which he, said men had almost ceased to argue, but how to know, and grasp the attributes of God.

By apt, direct, and convincing illustrations from the life and laws of the Universe he sought to show God as God of power, law, purpose, love and beauty. The most original and 1 impressive part of the Bishops' evening sermon was that in which he dwelt npon the nature of God as revealed in man, His created image and child. By clearness of thought, directness and persuasiveness of speech, he made his hearers seel the reality, the attractiveness, the power and the nearness of God. In Lynchburg Monday night Virginia Christian College outpointed All Undergraduates Are Eligible. A Chance for Literary Prodigies to Get in limelight All students of the University who can write or who have any idea that they can are urged to enter the contest for the Ben Smith Preston Memorial Cup, awarded for the 'best work of a journalistic nature done in the University.

i Carolina has long been famous for the literary atmosphere of its campus, the art of writing being practiced extensively both by the faculty and by the sudents. Many are the successful editors, authors and newspaper men who claim the University of North Carolina as their Aimer Mater. Last year a decided impetus was given to student journalism through the awarding by Hon. Randolph Preston, of Charlotte, of the Ben Smith Preston Memorial Cup in memory of his brother Ben Smith Preston, a graduate of the University and, a rising young newspaper man, whom death cut off in the prime of life. The conditions for the awarding of the Cup will be practically the same as last year, which was the first year the Cup has been offered.

The conditions are given below: First: The Cup will be awarded annually to the undergraduate student who during the months from September to April has done the-best work of Carolina in a ragged game 33-31. At the end of the first half the score stood 17-12 in favor of Carolina. In the last half the Christians came back strong and outplayed the Varsity all along the line. With the score 31-31 a Vir ginian shot a goal and it was all over but the shouting. Seniors Hold Conclave.

The seniors met Saturday to dis cuss the arrangement of the pro gramme for Senior Day at Commence ment. Thev proposed that, since Boys Surprise All by the Versatility and Skill They I Displayed. 5 "Roney's Boys" made good in their entertainment in Gerrard Hall Saturday night. They won their audience in their first few numbers, and throughout the evening received storms of applause. The distinctive charm of the recital lay in its boyishness.

The performers were not boys taught to sing and play like grown people, but their yoices, while probably carefully trained retained t'e soft, natural tones of young boys singing. It was noted that they sent out their words clear-cut and distinct, so that, marvel of marvels, one could understad a large part of the wordsi Older singers would do well to imitate them here. The only thing to mar in the least" the soft, sweet, harmouious tones of the childish voices was the fact that one or two of the boys thrilled their "r's" a little too perceptibly, vocal mannerism sounding just a little bit harsh to' our Southern ears. While all the voices are remarkable, in our opinion it is the tenor, who it is said, had only been with the company a short while, who has the sweetest and most charming voice of the company. The selections given in choir vestments were particularly effective; one easily understands Mr.

success as director of a boys' choir in a Chicago church. The picturesque costumes all enhanced the effect of the songs, especially the Scottish dress at the last. As for the instrumental part of the programme, it was all that could be desired, though this was not what gave the entertainment its distinctiveness, for older artists could probably have rendered the selections just about as well. Still, at sight of young boys playing long difficult compositions on the violin and clarinet, we should have been amazed, as Dr. Johnson said "not that it was done well, but that it was done at all." The little violinist, who is said to have studied only two years, is a child genius if we ever saw one.

While some came away saying, "The concert was pretty good I reckon, but I was bored," the general manner of the audience was a decided rebuke to those who would charge that college boys cannot appreciate good music. The boy's sacred concert, given Sunday afternoon in Gerrard Hall, was attended by an audience which there will be no Phi Beta Kappa ad dress this year, an effort be made to History Prizes Offered. prizes offered by the North Car have a general address, together with a journalistic nature. the senior exercises.

Wagstaff were the judges last year, and although no final arrangements have been made in regard to this matter so far this year, the same men will probably serve again. The field in which to choose a subject for an essay in this contest is almost unlimited. And the material to be used is not difficult to get.
