''The old order changeth yielding place to So doth the dance. The square dance and Virginia reel gave way to the waltz and two-step. These skipped and dipped ahead into the Boston. Now we do these with ''Hesitation. The Boston, sad to relate, has fallen into the "Kitchen Sink." And you may not believe it, but at every dance we can see a "Lame Duck" or a "Horse Trot." Did you ever see a "Castle Walk" by a' "Great Big Blde-Eved Baby?" The dances were new and strange to Chapel Hill society, but we are glad we made their There was plenty of pep, too, but some thought there was a little- "Too Much Mustard." But take it all in all, frivolity thrown aside, the dances were "Some Smoke."

B. Abernathy '15, better known as "Little Ab" in college, a brother of L. Abernathy, the captain of this year's football team, died of typhoid fever in Charlotte Tuesday. Last season Abernathy was fullback on the Varsity, and had been on the squad the year before. This year he played as sub-center.

He was a member of his class baseball team. Wednesday morning in Chapel, after Dr. A. II. Patterson had read the sad telegram telling of "Little Ab's" death, the University Quartetsang "Integer Vitae" with the entire student body standing.

Today at noon the college bell was tolled at the time of the funeral. W. P. Fuller, representing the Junior class and the Varsity football team, went to Charlotte to attend the funeral, which took place Wednesday at noon. STARRY CONSTELLATION Initial Performance of Glee Club Well Received.

In Semi-Final For The State Championship Capital City Boys Triumph GREAT TEAM WORK AND WEIGHT TELL Raleigh Backfield Stars. Thompson Made Wilmington's Score on Recovered Fumble. Raleigh and Washington play tor Championship of State here next Saturday.

"They came; they saw; they conquered." That's Raleigh. ''They came; they saw;" but you can leave off the conquered part. That's Wilmington. Wilmington and alei gh Ilig Schoo1s met here Saturday to decide among themselves just who was owner of the State High School Championship, and at the end of sixty minutes of good football the Raleigh lads had added up 2() good hard earned points while their opponents could force the pig skin over the goal Hue but once, and this for six points only. It was four touchdowns and a drop kick to one, but more than anything else it was a victory.

The game, while one sided according to the score, was one of the prettiest seen here this year. Both teams were composed of eleven scrappy men, and the championship of the State was at stake. That was enough. It was sixty minutes of good hard fought, scrappy football with neither side stopping until the game had ceased to be a game. The one big outstanding feature of the game was the team work put up by the Raleigh crowd.

They outweighed their opponents and did not hesitate to take advantage of their weight. They were always on the go. They ripped off twenty here, ten there and uncovered some of the prettiest fake plays that could be imagfincd. There was football from beginning to end. Wil mington perhaps didn't have the chance to show the work Raleigh put up.

They were kept on the defensive at most times and seemed to be troubled with nervousness. Not until the last part of the game did they seem to get to going, and not until the last quarter did their playing equal that of Raleigh. The first touchdown came after three minutes of play in the first quarter. Raleigh kicked off and Wilmington was held for downs. Bowen was then called on for Raleigh and when he had finished he had zig zagged through the entire Wilmington team and had placed the oval between the up rights for a touchdown.

Wilmington again elected to receive, and having gained first down once they kicked. The kick was a bad one though, and Raleigh got the ball on the line of scrimmage. A series of end runs and line bucks carried the ball to Wilmington's ten yard line where Champion carried it over for the second touchdown.

October 12th Registration Abolished Entirely. Professional Coaching and Training Table Unmolested. Actuated by a desire to elevate our system of athletics to an even higher position than they occupy at present, the athletic authorities at the University are considering a new of rules or regulations governing athletics here at the University.

The proposed regulations are, in all important respects, the same as those of the University of Virginia. In fact, the only difference between Virginians regulations and those proposed for Carolina is on the subject ot professional coaches and the training table. Virginia forbids both; Carolina will continue both. It should be noted that the above are the only differences which can be seen when one reads the two systems. But, in order that tnere shall be no difference in the interpretation of the rules it is proposed that Carolina's interpretation of each rule be the same as that in use at Virginia.

In contrasting our present system with the proposed one, only a few differences can be found. The academic requirement, that each man shall keep up his work, remains the same. At present we have the five months residence rule and, until a short time ago, the twelfth of October rule. That means that as we have it now each man, in order to play on a team representing the Uniuersity, must have attend-edilectures for five months previous to the game in which he takes a part. The proposed plan does away with both the five months residence rule and the twelfth of October rule.

Instead, the new system proposes a one year's residence rule. That means that every man coming from a college must attend lectures, here at the University, for one year before he can play on a "Varsity" team. It is the same rule as the one year's residence rule now used by Virginia. Virginia would allow a Georgia player of this year to play in the fall of 1914 if he should register at Virginia after Christmas of this year. So will Carolina.

It does not mean, however, that a treshman com- ing from a "Prep" school is not elegible to play on a "Varsity team, as he is at Princeton, Yale Harvard, and other institutions. 1 Thus it can readily be seen that the proposed rules do not differ' to any great extent ffom those now in use here. The principal object of the advocates of the proposed rules is to prevent any possible friction Continued on third pftffo Sharpe for the affirmative; and M. Ross, M. B.

Fcwler, S. C. Hodgins and C. B. Hyatt for the negative.

The negative won. R. M. Ross made the best speech, and was awarded the Society de bating pin. The subject debated was, Resolved, "That an amend ment to the constitution of North Carolina providing for the initia tive and referendum should be adopted.

The final contest in the Phi society will come off next Saturday night. The question for debate will be, Resolved, "That the constitution of North Carolina should be amended so as to prohibit compulsory poll tax." The affirmative will be represent ed by B. J. Lawrence and V. Williams, while the negative will be upheld by J.

WY Maxwell, and Leo Carr. BASKET BALL BEGINS Tentative Schedule Issued By Manager Long With the close of the football season of 1913 all eyes are now turned to basketball. Jt is a sport that is practically new with the University, having been in vogue here for only a few years, but one that is fast gaining ground. With the first game coming Saturday night of this week Coach Cartmell and the men under him are working daily in an attempt to perfect themselves and the team work before the team from Elon hits the Hill. Never in the history of basketball at the University has there been such an array of talent as there is this year.

There are enough men here to make two whole teams that could clean up the State, and the best part of this is that the majority of these men arc either N. C. men or men who have made reputations for themselves at some colleges, Y. M. C.

A's or prep- schools before coming here. Coach Cartmell believes that the team the University will turn out this year will clean up everybody it happens to run up against. Elon, with whom the first game is to be played Saturday night, has a strong team. They do not plav football and have been practicing basketball all this fall Last year through some slip or other the beat us. They are coming this year with a stronger team and claim they will make things interesting.

The schedule so far arranged by Manager Cy Long but not yet finally approved, is as follows: 1913 Dec. 13 Elon College at Chapel Hill. Dec. 16 Durham Y. M.
