McCauley Barn Burned
Horse and Mule Lost, Cows Escape
Stiff Wind Balks Firemen

The barn of Albert McCauley,
who lives just beyond the west
ern limits of the town of Carr
boro, was destroyed by fire be-
tween four and five o'clock Mon
day morning. He lost a herse
and a mule, a large quantity of
cottonseed and some farming
equipment, but by knocking in
one end of the building with an
axe he succeeded in getting his
cows out. The loss, estimated
at 81, 1000, was about half cover
ed by insurance.
The origin of the fire is still
unknown.
When the flames became Wis
ible the whistle of one of the
factories was sounded, and the
members of the fire company
came running. They stretched
a bose from the nearest hydrant
and made manful efforts to con-
Equer the flames. A stiff wind
defeated them. But this wind
probably saved the McCauley
home, which was only about rs
yards away, since it blew the
sparks and embers in the other
direction.

The School Football Team

Although the Chapel Hill high
school football team won only
three out of the eight games
played, it did well considering
the lightness and the lack of ex-
perience of the players. 1t played
some of the leading teams of the
eastern part of the state and put
up a scrappy fight in every
match. The first-string eleven
were King, Sawyer, Gates, Pen
dergraft, Atwater, Neville,
Stone, Patterson, Partin, Ray,
and Manning. The substitutes
were Bob Ray, Bill Prouty, Tom
Walker, A, P. Smith, Bruce Dur
ham, and Darcy Watson.

A Village Paper
of 1857

David w. Burch, who lives
four or five miles north of
Chapel Hill, out beyond Orange
Church, found not long ago,
among documents left by his
father, a copy of the Chapel Hiu
Literary Gazette of July Is,
1857. He turned it over to my
classmate, Rev. Charles E.
Maddry, to bring to me, with in
structions that, after | had read
it, | should pass it along to the
University Library as a gift
from Mr.. Burch.
1t bears the stains of time,
but the paper is still in good con-
dition, being torn only at the
folds, and the ink is as clear as
though the printing had been
done last week. The editor was
James M. Henderson, a new
conner in the village, in 1857.
Only five days before the day
of publication, the news of the
death of Elisha Mitchell had
been received in Chapel Hill, and
the columns of the two inside
pages are separated by broad
black borders as a sign of
mourning for the distinguished
teacher and scientist. An ac-
count of a citizens meeting, at
which memorial resolutions
were adopted, is followed by a
four-column biographical sketch
of Mr.. Mitchell. The resolutions
were prepared by the Rev. Mr..
Hawks and Samuel F. Phillips.
And a Tribute of Respect is
signed by E, Mallett, P. H. Nc
Dada, H. B. Guthrie, J, H. Wat
son, and c. C. Scott.

Chapel Hill Cha1f

At first people gave the name
of Tenney Circle to the loop at
the northeast corner of the vii
lage, and then some of the resi-
dents decided it had better be
named Glenburnie Road. Some
times you hear it called one,
sometimes the other. This is
rather confusing. Now l have a
solution. On a bright moonlit
evening last week | drove out
there, and at the turn below
the Braune home | saw two or
three parked cars with couples
in them. Why not abandon both
Tenney Circle and Glenburnie
Road and call this thoroughfare
something like Lovers Loop or
Necking Drive?

Forward Pass in the Last Few Minutes of Play Erck
son, Gives the Tar Heels the Touchdown Needed for
Victory; Magner Scores by Long End Run

Carolina won from Virginia in Charlottesville
yesterday, "a to 20. Never, anywhere could there
have been more thrilling game. Virginia scored
atouchdown in the first three minutes of play and
kicked the goal. In less than five more minutes
Carolina had scored, but failed to make the extra
point, and the score was to g. In the second
quarter Flippin of Virginia picked up the ball on
a tumble and raced across the line, and the half
ended with Virginia leading 13 to g. Carolina
scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and
led, IS to 13. Virginia scored again in the fourth
quarter and recovered the lead, 20 to 18. Then
with darkness falling and the game nearing it's
end came the touchdown which gave Carolina the
victory.
One of the most thrilling moments of the match
came in the fourth quarter when Virginia had the
ball within yards of Cardinals goal on the first
down. Three trials carried the ball to within a
yard of'the line Once more the Virginians crash
ed against the Tar Heel line-and failed.

new SHORT ROAD
NOW BEING USED
Completion of Link from Here
to Nelson Reduces Dis
tance to Raleigh
AN EASY ONE-HOUR TRIP

Chapel Hill people are now
using the new road to Nelson,
the short cut which reduces the
distance from here to Raleigh to
80 miles.
The distance by way of Dur
ham is 38 miles. But the saving
to motorists is more than the diff
ference of 8 miles; for the an
noyance and delay caused by
threading through the traffic on
the streets of Durham are eIimi-
mated.
Nello Teer made a rapid job of
laying gravel on the new. road
and had it down within five or
six weeks after he took the con-
tract. The surface is hard and
smooth. Probably it will not be
inviting in wet weather, but the
engineers decided oil should not
be applied until the road had
time to settle. The highway
commissions plan is to put
down, next spring the same sort
of hard surface-oil mixed with
crushed stone-as the one now
in use between here and Hills
boro.
It is easy to get to Raleigh in
an hour by the short cut, and Of
-4ete4utllr course # can be done in less time
than that. An average speed of
35 miles an hour means a 81
minute trip.
A pleasant aspect of travel by
this road is the absence of the
advertising signs which dis
figure the one between here and
Durham. The traveller rolls
along through unspoiled fields
and woodland with almost no
gaudy boardings to offend his
eye.

football, but the margin was not
great. The teams were nearly
evenly matched.
Virginia made a few very
long gains from forward passes,
and one 50-yard gain from the
recovery of a tumble.
On the first play of the game
Virginia tried a forward pass
and failed. She got Is yards
through the line, and then on a
forward pass took the ball to
Carolina's 5-yard line. Two
rushes put it over.
Carolina received the second
kickoff. Three rushes gave her
first down on her own 45-yard
line. Three runs, by Ward,
Nash, and Gresham, added IL
yards. Twenty yards We're

The two touchdowns in the
third quarter seemed to reveal
Virginia as cracking, and the
Carolina shouters began to have
visions of piling up a fancy
score. But Virginia rallied, and
in the fourth quarter. a minute
or two after Carolina had made
its firm stand in the shadow of
her goal, Close flung a forward
pass to Turner and Turner
raced over the line for the sixth
touchdown of the day. The extra
point was scored by a forward
pass, and, since Carolina had
made no extra points after
touchdowns, the score was 20 to
18.
Now it looked gloomy for
Carolina. Darkness was falling,
and everybody knew there were
only a few minutes left to play !;
but nobody knew just how many
minutes. W as there time
enough for another touchdown
and, even if there was, could
Carolina make it? The chances
looked strong against it.
Virginia kicked off, and Nash
returned the ball to the Caro-
lima 35-yard line. Jackson fail
ed to gain through the line, and
then brought the 10000 specta-
tors to their feet by running 80
yards around the end. Then a
forward pass was intercepted
by Close on Virginia's 25-yard
line. Sloan gained 6 yards
through the line; Virginia was
penalized 5 yards more. Vir-
ginia punted and the ball was
Cardinals at midfield.
1t was then that Carolina
started the attack which car
ried her to victory, Ward hit
the line for 2 yards; a forward
pass failed /; and Ward failed on
a try around the end. With
fourth down. and. eight yards to
go, Wyrick, taking a pass from
Ward, ran 10 yards to Virginia's
33-yard line.
Again Wyrick took a pass
from Ward and went five yards
farther. Then Ward passed to
Erickson, and Erickson crossed
the goal. line and brought Caro-
lina's score to "a.
After that Virginia made des-
perate efforts to score by for
ward passes. Faulconer made
one gain of 20 yards on a throw
from Close; the next pass fail
ed, and the next one was inter-
cepted by a Carolina back.
There. were six or seven more
plays, and the game was over.
Taking the game as a whole,
Carolina displayed more driv-
ing power than Virginia. She
gained more yardage than hel

Lovers of sport all over the Nation

Walter johnson has been signed for
three-year term as manager of the
base ball team in Washington. In that
city Walter Johnson spent his days of
active playing, there he made the Won
derful record he holds as pitcher and
developed a remarkable popularity, for
he always gave to the SeatholderS in
the grandstand his best efforts.
Walter Johnson Is one of the out
standing men in base ball, one whose
name win be given high place In the
records of the game. With his rich ex-
perience and his fighting spirit even
under the greatest difficulties, he should
be a leader whose inspiring example
would aid in building team of league
greatness. Certainly no other man
could have been found whose appeal to
the patrons of the game would have
been stronger in the Nations Capital
City.
Not every great player has been
successful manager when tried in that
capacity. There have been some pain
full failures, but johnson Is magnetic
man, a born leader, who has shown his
teammates on many occasions how to
fight their way out of difficulties. To
his new position he will be followed by
the best wishes of thousands of fans in
all cities where base ball is developed.
and of thousands who kn"w If him
only from reading game stcries and
records he made in the days Of his
greatness as pitcher.
