CAROLINA, 66 TO 0 Worst Defeat Tar Heels Have Ever Received on the Gridiron CAPTAIN MUTTS WORK WAS BRILLIANT On a Field Made Heavy by the Snow Virginia Shows Her Best Form and JPlays Havoc With Carolina a. rc ii i owepi on tneir reet oy an attract that had everything, Car olina went down before Virginia on Thanksgiving- Day by the one sided score of 66 to 0, probably me largesi score mat nas ever been made against a Carolina team. Virginia played her mos 1 Druuani game or tne year and gave a wonderful exhibition. Carolina was out-classed from the start, in the first quarter she managed to reach the 3 yard line, put after that was condn 1 1 A 1 uaiiy on me ueiensive and was never in a position to score. It was in the line that Virgin las superiority was manifested most clearly.

She gained fre quently around the ends and Todd onceran 70 yards to a touchdown. But from end to end the Orangi and Blue was supreme. Hole were opened up big enough to let the whole backfield through; so that the interference, perfect ly formed, hit the secondary de fense men, runner generally get ting back to Tillett. There he was stopped, though, for the Tar Heel captain tackled in deadly fashion. Tillett's playing was the only creditable work done by the Tar Heels.

He was fighting all the time, and had he not been playing, there is no telling what the score would have been. He made the only substantial gains for Carolina and was a tireless worker. He closes his football career at Carolina, after a disas trous seasotK it is true, but with the reputation of a great captain and one of the very best players that ever, wore the White and Blue. Mater, a new mau on the Virginia team, starred in the back-field, making five touchdowns, while Todd was more of a speed artist than ever; and that despite a heavy field after the snow the night before. About 6,000 persons saw the game, including Alumni from all over North i Virginia got the jump at the start by pulling off a fake kick-off which was recovered by Wool-folk.

Caralina held for downs and gained possesion of the ball. Jones passed it over Tillett's head, but Tillett gained possesion of the ball and kicked out of danger. Virginia could not gain and tried forward passes unsuc-esslully, Tillett again punted and then Virginia struck her stride and went down the field for a touchdown, Smith going over. Immediately after came Carolina's first and only chance. Two fumbles by Todd gave her the ball on Virginia's 25 yard line.

Tillett swung around right Continued on fourth pttge First Call for Candidates Reveals Promising Material; A call by Captain Chambers for candidates for the basket ball team to report at the gymnasium at eight o'clock Monday night announced the opening of the basket ball season. The call this year was made a little earlier than last and it is hoped that the squad will get into shape by the Christmas holidays. Only a light practice at goal throwing and a short scrimmage was held the first night to get a line on the new men. There is much good material showing up and there are more men who will come out in a few days. The improvement in those who have been practicing regularly on the outdoor court in the afternoons was especially noticeable.

Chambers, Tillett, Carrington, and Smith of last year's team and Long of the team of two years ago and several of last year's scrubs are all out. It is apparent that all positions on the team will be sharply contested and there is a chance for anyone who will come out and work hard and regular. Dr. Lawson has promised to help the squad in every way possible. Considering everything, prospects for a successful season iook very Dngnt.

Manager Huffman has arranged a heavy schedule of eighteen or twenty games which includes a trip up through Virginia, Games have been arranged with the University of Virginia, V. P. I. Randolph-Macon, and Washington and Lee. We alro have two games each with A Wake Forest, and Guiiford.

About six of the games will be played on the Hill, among them, Davidson, V. P. I. and possibly Wake Forest. A complete sched-ula will be published later.

The scrubs also should be able to arrange for several games. PHARMACY MEN HEAR PAPERS The William Simpson Pharma ceutical Society held its second weekly meeting in the Pharmacy Building. Mr. J. C.

Warren read a very interesting paper on Cinchona, describing at some length the history, origin and properties of this much-used drug which jtelds quinine. He was followed by Mr. J. Hunter Jones, whose paper dealt with the advantages the society affords the student. The third paper was read by Mr.

David Heath, his subject being Tnis plant is of much importance in medicine, it being the source ot atropine. The three papers indicated much thought and study upon the part of the readers and were well recoived by the other mem bers. Mr. J. G.

Beard was asked to serve in tne capacity of critic and review each paper before being read. He made a short talk to the society commending tha members for their enthusiasm and interest thus far displayed and emphasized the importance of scriousness if permanent trood wa4 to result horn thesociety. Washington and Lee Cancels for Unknown Reasons ine debate which was to be held this year between Carolina and Washi agton and Lee Univer sity has been canceled by the latter, institution. A letter which was received a few days ago from the Lexington school conveys this rather surprising news, Uhe reason for the cau-celingf on Washington and Lee's part seems hazy; the letter merely stated that they had seen fit to cancel the debate, because, it appeared from the letter, Carolina, with the negative side of the query, refused to give her opponents the last rejoinder. This news comes as a distinct surprise and disappointment inasmuch as in the two previous debates between these schools each instition had won one debate and this contest was thus expected to break the tie.

Messrs. J. C. Busby, '13, of the Di Society, and H. C.

Petterwiy, '13. of the Phi Society, had already been chosen to represent Carolina in this debate. On the whole, the general impression of the campus is that more definite news as to the cause of the canceling would gladly be received from our sister institution to the north- COUNCIL ON FOOTBALL Different Plans Proposed to the Help Situation The Greater Student Council held the first regular meeting of its existance Monday nig-nt in the Y.

mission room. As the medical and law deparment had not elected their representatives, it was decided to postpone the formation of a permanent organization until the next meet' ing. W. G. Harry, however, was elected temporary chairman.

Famous Poet and Literary Man Will be Heard in Chapel Tonight AUTHOR OF THE MAN I WITH THE HOE This Is the First of a Series of Addresses by Prominent Men Which Is Being Arranged by the Faculty On next Thursday evening, December 5, Edwin Markham, America's most famous living poet, will speak in Gerrard Hall.

This iecture will inaugurate the series of lectures to be given throughout the year under the auspices of the University. It is the purpose and the hope of the Committee on Public Lectures to provide, from time to time, lectures and addresses by people of eminence, from North Carolina and from the country at large, which may give stimulus and inspiration to their hearers. Such lectures and addresses, it is believed, will serve a double purpose: to bring to the University from the outside world vital accounts of the newer contributions of scholarship and research, the messages of modern thought and literature, te" dtorleV'ot'Tthenarger'mdve-' ments of great events in the world of action; and, indirectly, to acquaint the outside world with a'know'edge of the University of North Carolina, its history, progress and contemporary activities. After years of activity as contributor of verse to prominent magazines, Edwin Markham awoke one day, literally, to find himself famous, in the larger sense, as author of The Man With the Hoe. Unlike many another poet whose fame remains founded upon a single contribution, Edwin Markham has steadily gained in power and strength of appeal since 1899, the year of the publi cation of his famous poem.

Other poems written since that time rival if not surpass The Man With the Hoe in beauty of expression and emotive force, notably The Sower and Lincoln. Tody, Edwin Markham, by virtue of worthy achievement and general recognition, stands out as America's premier poet. Eloquent speaker, as well as famous poet, Edwin Markham should have on Thursday night a large and fully appreciative audience from the University and from Chapel Hill.
