ALUMNI COACHES.
The Varsity made q new departure In
the system Of training this year. Instead
of a hired trainer. as heretofore, all the
work has been done by alumni coaches
members of former teams. Whatever sue
cess the 1893 Varsity eleven has attain
ed is due to their united efforts. Among
the old men who spent week or more
here, giving the applicants the benefit or
their experience, were "Arehie" Hoxton,
OF Alexandria; Porter Parker. OF New Or
leans; Bob Mudd, of st. Louis; Mike"
Johnson, Of the United States navy;
Mac" Pope, Of Baltimore. and BILLY"
Abbot, OF Lynchburg. Mr.. j. a. Massie.
of Newport News. the head coach, has
spent several weeks with the team, while
Dr. "Arlie" Jones and DIR. W. A. Lam
beth. of the University, have aided most
materially in the development Of the
eleven, giving freely of their time and
valuable experience.
Mr.. r. L. Parrish has managed the team
with marked ability, and the season has
been flatteringly successful.
GREAT INTEREST IN THE GAME.
A mass-meeting Of the students was
held in the Fayerweather Gymnasium
last evening TO arouse interest in the
Thanksgivng-Day football game. Adj
dresses were made by DIR. Paul b. Barrin-
ger chairman of the faculty; Professor
Lille; "Billy' Abbot. of the team of 1885;
S. b. McPheeters, DR.. "Arlie" Jones; Mr..
G. y. Wallace, president OF the Law
Glass; Captain Collier. and Manager Par
IRISH, of the Varsity eleven. All OF the
speeches were enthusiastically received.
and college spirit was displayed as per-
haps 1t never has been on any similar
occasion. on motion of DR.. Bullitt, res
olution was passed requesting the presi-
dents Of the Medical, Law, and Academic
| classes to appoint leaders to preside over
the stands occupied by the different
classes at the game Thursday, and TO
see that the roofing is conducted syste-
maticaly. Upon the adjournment Of the
meCtlnG ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
four hundred-marched in a body to the
rotunda and up and down the lawn, sing
ings songs and giving college yells. Be-
fore dispensing they marched, eight
| abreast, down to Union Station. whore
they wheeled about and marched back
again. making the welldn ring with their
! hurrahs.
Notwithstanding the hard game with
| the Naval Cadets on Saturday, the team
was yesterday afternoon given perhaps
the hardest work of the season. John
ME" Poe, the ex-Princeton captain, who
arrived from Washington on the 2:25 train
| had charge Of the men, and there was
| little rest for them from the time they
stepped on the campus until they return
| ed to the gymnasium. Poe was assisted in
the coaching by DR.. "Arlie" Jones;
Archie" Hoxton, of the Episcopal High
School; "Billy" Abbot, Of Bellevue, and
Lambeth, Of the 1886 Varsity eleven.
The Varsity lined up for about eight
minutes against the scrub, and the battle
was a fierce one, neither side being able
to score. The second eleven was strength
ened by DIR. Jones; Wallace. last years
centre, and Pierce, of the Varsity eleven.
Willis and Summersgill, who were in
| jured in Saturdays game, were both alb
sent from the practice, their places being
taken by "Billy" Martin and Taylor. The
former has just re-entered college, while
the latter has been showing up in fine
form on the scrub. Elsons place at full
back was taken by Coleman. IL Is hoped
that the cripples can be gotten in shape
TO take their places on the team by
Thursday.
The North Carolina Team.
CHAPEL HILL, n. c., November o.
CSpecial)-To meet the University OF Vir-
ginia this time Carolina will send one OF
the strongest teams she has ever put out.
The men have been under the efficient
coaching OF Mr.. William A. Reynolds, an
| old Princeton man, who came TO North
Carolina in the fall OF 1897, and after a
season OF hard, conscientious work. sent
TO Richmond to meet Virginia on Thanks

gritty. Recognizing his ability as coach,

vices for the 1898 team. So, in the spring

work at once. The material this year was
| encouraging, and Mr.. Reynolds started
the training so necessary for the devel-
opment Of a strong team.
The team was weakened by the failure
OF Captain A. w. Belden to return to
college. MIR. +. o. Rogers was appointed
to fill his place by the Athletic Advisory
Committee. and 1t is due TO his work

represented this fall by such an adnnira-

Captain Rogers is q player OF expert

knows the game thoroughly. He plays

hard and sure tackler: passes the ball
