HOMECOMING DAY
FOR VOLUNTEERS
ALI Tennessee Alumni Expect
To Be Present at Sat
day Game.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 81, tSpl)-
Some game of the football season
should be a homecoming day for the
alumni. In 1915 this day was Nov. 8,
the day Of the Vanderbilt game. Many
old students were present and added
their part toward the victory. This
year the date which has been named as
homecoming day is Nov. /, the day OF
the North Carolina game. u.
The Homecoming this year is planned
as an athletic event rather than a visit
to the university, because Of the great
changes that are taking place on the
university campus, and because of the
inconvenience OF staging meetings on
the grounds. The grading on the top of
the hill is practically complete, but the
roads and grounds show the evidences
of much hard usage. The athletic field,
however, is the same old Wait field and
we are expecting a great game with
North Carolina.
North Carolina has played Rutgers,
Yale and Wake Forest, and has yet on
her schedule North Carolina Aggies,
Tennessee, Davidson and Virginia.
These schools are no mean opponents,
and Carolina Is making history for her.
self this year. She made the sons OF
Eli liEs up behind their goal line and
see a Southern team kick goal after a
touchdown. Yale won, but Carolina
scored.
Tennessee has played Tusculum, Ma
ryville, Vanderbilt, Mississippi A, & NJ.
and Clemson. We have yet on our SEIZED
ule North Carolina, South Carolina
| Cincinnati and Kentucky. Unless some
bad luck oVertakes us we should come
to this game with the best form yet
shown this season. The first and sec
ond dates in November, aside from
Thanksgiving, are the best dates on
the schedule. Before this time the team
is new and lacks skill that 1t can only
get by actual games. A high point is
usually reached early in November
| Then comes a slump and a new high
point at the end of the season.
North Carolina was here in 1908. De-
| spite the early season date, which was
early in October, the attendance at the
game was one Of the greatest in the
history OF university athletics The date
