Capt. Emerson, although Mary
lander for many years. was born IN
Chapel Hill, home of North Carolina
University. He always has taken
keen interest in the university and
has done everything possible TO aid
its plans. Not only is Capt. Emerson
interested in North Carolina, but in
all things that have TO do with educa-
ton He is a sportsman of the high
est type and naturally likes college
athletics The whole North Carolina
squad were guests of Capt. Emerson
while in Baltimore at the hotel that
bears his name.
Officials and players Of the North
Carolina squad were more than de

Woolen, who also is business man

almost overwhelmed. The gift came
right out of a clear sky, and every

Bill Fetzer, coach of the team, gave

The feeling of the North Carolina

value of the PLAYER to his team. The
presence of a man in a backfield who
can consistently get from to yards
is of almost immeasurable value, but
when one is present who seems able
to get an average of approximately

is foot ball team in himself.
Everybody is wondering what hap

kind of team is wearing MiChigan's

Illinois trimmed Penn so nicely re

Illinois is sufficient to Indicate that the
Wolverines are about sitting on top of
the foot ball heap. Some other eleven
at this moment may seem to be
stronger, but 1t would take a telescope
as big as the one in the Lick Observa-
tory to find it.
Yale's decisive victory in the game
with Army gives another reason for
thinking that Yale is just about the
strongest eleven in the East. Penn's
defeat of Yale gave the Dark Blue
