84 THE RED AND WHITE

In common with every one else, the stu—dent body manifested a keen interest in therecent election. The long uncertainty \asto the final outcome served to increase theinterest. The first returns caused a jubilantfeeling among the Hughes men, with, acorresponding depression among the follow-ers of Wilson. Later returns caused a re-versal of feeling. When the final outcomewas announced on Thursday night, thingsbroke loose. “Downtown celebration” wasthe universal cry. Grabbing garbage cansand every other form of noise-making im—plements, the students made a break forthe city. Visits were made to all the femalecolleges, and 'the “sufi'rage'ttes” wetreawakened by the noisy shouts for “Wilson!Bickett! Gardner!” The newspaper officeswere then visited and given hearty yells fortheir untiring service in securing electionreturns. The celebration was one rarelyequaled in “pep.”

This form of college spirit is a commen—dable one and shows a hearty interest in theaffairs of the Nation. Yet college spiritshould not stop here. It should manifiestitself in every phase of college life. Thereshould be shown the same enthusiasm in thework of our athletic teams, our collegeorganizations, our literary societies, our de—bates, and all intercollegiate contests. Con—sider how much more effort would be putinto our various contests if those participat—ing knew the student body was heart andsoul with them, and by their presence en-couraging the contestants on to victory. Laus devote more time and enthusiasm to thosefactors that constitute the real college life.

THE RED AND WHITE has been criticisedas not being a representative magazine, thecharge having been made that it is strictlyagricultural. Well, whose fault is it thatthe other departments are not equally repre—sented? The members of the staff have nodesire to foster or encourage one phase of theCollege work more than another. They tryto select the best from the material that ispresented. For some reason, the majorityof men who have prepared articles have been

agricutltural students, and naturally theyhave dealt with subjects of agricultural in-terest. The columns of this paper are asopen to any one else as they are to agricul-tural students. If your course is not suffi—ciently represented, get busy and boost it alittle.

OLLANTAY: AN ANCIENTPERUVIAN DRAMA

L. E. HINKLEProfessor of Modern Languages

We generally think of the AmericanIndian as a savage and nothing more. Wehave been loath to recognize in him anythingmaking for civilization. Recent investiga-tions by archaeologists in Peru, however, haverevealed the fact that the ancient inhabit-ants of that country at least attained acivilization not to be despised even by us.To the general reader who has not the timeand opportunity to read extensively in 'archaeological reports from Peru, perhapps,nothing will give a better insight intotheir ancient attainments than a study oftheir most representative piece of literature.

This dramatic product of an Indiangenius was composed some time in the latterpart of the fourteenth century. The play wasperformed in the market place of the city ofCuzco, the ancient Peruvian capital. It isgiven the name Ollantay from the principalcharacter and hero. So far as is known, thework is the product of a single individualgenius, and does not represent a gradualgrowth, as is so often the case in the litera-ture of primitive people. After the conquestof Peru by Pizarro, 1525, it was committedto writing by a Spanish priest. The authorhas not been so kind as to allow us theprivilege of knowing his name. At times herises to real poetic heights, and I only wishthat I could repeat here some of his beauti—ful sentiments. It consists of three acts, eachdivided into a number of scenes. The storyis about as follows:The first act is laid—the market place

of Cuzco. Ollantay enters dressed as aPeruvian nobleman. He is in love with Cusi

THE RED AND WHITE 85

Coyllur (Joyful Star), the daughter of theInca Pachacutec. Ollantay is not a Peru—vian by blood, and it is a death penalty forany one of foreign blood to fall in love witha Peruvian princess. Should the princessherself be so unfortunate as to be unable toresist the love of a foreigner, she must paythe penalty by being shut up alive in somedark dungeon or cavern. Ollantay knowswhat will be his doom and the fate of hisbeloved if he persists in his passion for her;yet he insists that he will love her in spiteof all the laws of any Peruvian government.While he is thus recounting his sentimentsto his page and trying to persuade himto convey a message to the home of the

, princess, the astrologer Ulliac—Una enters.He bows before the temple and begins aprayer to the sun. Then under the impulseof inspiration he bemoans Ollantay’s lovefor the princess and tells him that it springsfrom a base desire. After cautioning him toabandon his foolishness before it is toolate, he makes his way on into the templeand the scene changes.The next scene is in the palace of the

Queen Anahuarquis. She and the princessare alone together. The princess is weeping.She says that she cannot resist her love forOllantay. He is so noble, true, and brave.Her mother tries to cons'ole her. She hearsthe Inca coming. By all means she mustdry her eyes and not allow her father tosee that she has been crying. While they

rite, and his words to her are very touchingand sympathetic. She yields to his entreatiesto dry her tears, and the scene closes witha song and a frantic dance given for theamusement of the royal family. by a chorusof singers and dancers.

lion can be put down, Ollantay enters andoffers his services. But first he has a wordto say. Then he recounts, in a very strik—ing manner, his exploits and his accomplish-ments, and ends by pressing his suit forthe hand of the princess. The Inca becomesindignant. He rises and very forcibly in—forms Ollantay that his suit iS'in vain anddirects him to the door.The fourth scene shows Ollantay just out-

side the palace of the Inca. He is aloneand soliloquizing about what has happened.He vows to show the proud monarch whathe can do by gathering his own forces to—gether and conquering him and his entirekingdom. Just as he completes this oath, amessenger steals up to him and announcesthat the princess has disappeared from thepalace. This news only acts as an additionalincentive to the enraged Ollantay and spurshim to immediate action.The last scene of this act is again in the

palace. Three days have elapsed. Ollantayhas at least carried out part of his vow:A messenger announces to the Inca thatOllantay’s men have raised their voices inindignation at the treatment of their chief—tain and have declared him Inca. They arenow making every attempt to carry out theirproclamation. With this the first act closes.The second act opens with a scene in

Ollantay’s fortress. The people are shoutingand proclaiming him Inca of all the Peru-vians. He finally succeeds in quieting themand then proceeds to outline to them theirplans for the accomplishment of their object.The next scene is in a wild ravine. A

battle has just taken place between the Inca’sand Ollantay’s forces. One of the militarychiefs of Cuzco, Rumi-Nahui (Stony—eye),comes dragging himself onto the scene. Heis very dejected and declares that he hasbeen in many a hard fought battle in hislong life, but he never has yet been in onethat so completely exhausted him as thisone. He suffered much at the hands ofOllantay, and for his part he is willing togive him due glory and praise for his victory.But Rumi-Nahui has the reputation of beinga boaster, and we are very ingeniously led to

86

see that he is singing his own praises, andthat Ollantay’s victory was only partial.Otherwise we could not forgive him for notcarrying out his entire vow, and releasing hisbeloved and outraged princess instead ofsettling down as Inca of only a portion ofthe Peruvian territory and leaving her incaptivity. But such he does, and thus the .status of affairs remains for ten long years.With a lapse of that length of time be-

tween the second and third scenes, we areagain shown on the streets of Cuzco the oldastrologer whose entreaties Ollantay had soproudly defied. He is met by one of Ollan—tay’s servants, who has falsely deserted himand just recently come to the city of Cuzco.The astrologer has always harbored his re-sentment against Ollantay since the day thathaughty chiftain so emphatically scornedhis advice. Now he sees an opportunity torevenge himself and show the proud youngman that it is always best to take an oldman’s advice. With this in view he entersinto conversation with Ollantay’s cowardlyservant and is rejoiced to learn that hisdeserted Chieftain is always hospitable andgenerous with strangers.ant’s support and confidence and plans todisguise himself, get the Inca’s troops inreadiness, gain admittance into Ollantay’sfortress, open the gates at night, and capture

He wins the serv-

the young man!The second act closes with the next scene,

which is in Ollantay’s fortress. The astrol—oger has carried out his design. The Inca’stroops rush in and Ollantay is treacheouslycaptured.The last act opens with a scene at the

house of the chosen virgins. This house islocated just before a cavern. A young girlabout ten years old is standing in the doorof the house. This young girl is very gloomyand depressed. There has come over her afeeling as if some one had their eyes uponher and was watching her every act. Whenshe reveals this queer sensation to one ofher companions the latter tells her that shebelieves that she can show her the cause.Just back of them there is confined a beauti-ful woman. She has been there for a long,

THE RED AND WHITE {a

long time. If they will just take a peep ather without any one knowing, the feelingwill leave. They go and look, and what theysee is the princess. She has been confinedhere since the day that Ollantay asked forher hand. She gave birth to a child, but assoon as it was born the Inca took it awayand made it one of the chosen virgins. Inreality this is the child who is now worriedwith the the strange feeling; but neither thechild nor the mother had ever seen eachother before, and there is no recognition.

In the second scene, which is again in theInca’s palace, the troops have arrived withOllantay and his men as prisoners. TheInca starts a consultation amongst his faith-ful ones about what shall be done with thetraitors. They are unanimous in condemningOllantay to death. But. just at the Inca isabout to pronounce the sentence of death up—on him the chosen virgin of the last sceneenters. He immediately recognizes her ashis granddaughter, and she reminds him Ofhis own favorite daughter of ten years back.She has also the proud eye of the once faith—ful and always brave Ollantay. The oldman wavers. He is becoming old, and who,he considers, could better represent him andrule his people than the noble Ollantay?So instead of the sentence of death, he showsto him his own daughter and dismisses thecouncillors.The last scene is at the cavern. The Inca,

Ollantay, and the chosen virgin, YumaSumac (How Beautiful), enter. They pro-ceed to where the princess is confined. Herethe princess meets her daughter, she andOllantay are married and the Inca rejoicedat the happy conclusion of all his woes.

“RED BUCK” TELLS 0FEXPERIENCES AT

A. AND M. COLLEGEAn interesting series of articles under the

title of “Tardy Tar Heel Tales” from thepen of Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, writing underthe nom de plume of “Red Buck,” havebeen appearing in the News and Observer.A recent one deals with the very early in-fancy of A. and M. College, and will nodoubt be of general interest to both alumniand students. It is here given:WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—I have no idea

why I ever decided to “go off” to school.Father did not urge it, although he andmother desired that all their children haveeducational training sufficient to live up tothe traditions of Providence.The roving fever struck me about the time

I was fifteen years old, and I wanted to seesomething of the world, and thought Raleighwas a good place to tarry for a few months.I had never seen inside a train, or streetcar, a courthouse, or a barroom before theday I boarded the “Columbia—Charlottelocal” at Pineville. Of course I had witnessedtrials in the “Supreme Court of Providence”township, but that was as far as I had beenin the courts of the land. Some day, beforeI quit these tales, I will tell of the SupremeCourt of Providence, composed of my fatherand two other rural justices of the peace,who tried anything from a fist-fight to amurder case. It is not amiss to say here thatthe mantle of my father fell on the Indian,my brother playmate, and that he and twoother neighbors make up that interestingcourt today. I was ignorant of trains, havingno use for them, as old Massey and otherplantation mules could take me where Iwanted to go faster than the average “local”would. Behind a mule or on his back I wasengineer, conductor, fiagman, and passenger.Two circumstances influenced my exit

from the farm to the then new A. and M.College: first, I had overeaten until I hadindigestion; and, second, a cotton patch setaside for me was yielding about $30 worthof stuff; the disease made me restless, andthe cotton money made me independent. A

scholarship was secured, and I set out.I had conceived an idea that there would

be plenty of plowing and driving for meat the A. and M., but I was not to be troubledmuch by books. That was an ideal program.

LEAVING FOR COLLEGE.Three persons cried when I left Providence

for the A. and M. College. Mother, theIndian, and Jack Ezzell, the black wagoner,shed tears. I was brave and stern.Mother cooked me a whole chicken—at

that time any hen on the farm was worth 25ments and no more—and some little cakesto eat on the way. She had made me threepairs of new trousers and knitted me threepairs of woolen socks. Father bought me anobby looking hat at least one size too largefor me, and it rode from my ears. One ofthe first jibes cast at me on my arrival atRaleigh was from an upstart who said:“Guinea Egg, are you afraid your ears aregoing to fly away? Is that why you haveweighted them down with that chicken coop ?”That jest cut me to the quick. My ears werestanding at right angles to my head.

After I had bought my ticket and checkedmy trunk, I made one of the saddest dis-coveries of my life. Nobody had explainedto me the ins and outs of traveling, and Ithought that every fellow accompanied hisown trunk. I had not the remotest ideathat I would be in one car and my trunkin another. This would not have been sucha serious matter had I not packed all mychicken and cakes in the bottom of the trunk.In anticipation of eating a whole hen bymyself, I had half—fasted for a day.

Imagine my feeling when I was separatedfrom my feast I At Charlotte I slipped downthe steps, and up to the baggage car to lookfor my trunk. I soon located the object ofmy search, but it was under a half dozen

That was the first time Irealized that a trunk had no show in asample trunks.

baggage car.KEEPING WATCH ON THE TRUNK.

At every station between Charlotte andGreensboro I got off and took a peep at mytrunk. The baggage master suspected me of

THE RED AND WHITE 89__’_/——’——~—/"

some ulterior motive in watching his car,and I became timid.At Greensboro, much to my delight, I saw

the trainmen take my trunk out and put iton the ground near the track. I hung aroundand seized an opportunity, when the baggagemen were absent, to open the trunk, but be-fore I had time to life the lid a great hulkynegro, with a voice like a bull of Bashan,yelled out: “What the thunder you doing inthat trunk!”

“It’s mine,” I responded, defiantly.“That makes no difference, its checked

through to Raleigh, and you have no busi-ness opening it Close it,” said the negrogruffly.

I pulled the lid down, turned the key, andmoved away, sadder and wiser. I had learn-ed something about traveling, and made amental note to this effect: “Never put yourlunch in your trunk if you expect to gethungry en route.”

ARRIVES HUNGRY.There may have been wiser and smarter

boys at the A. and M. College when I ar—rived that afternoon, after an all—day jour-ney, but not a hungrier one. I had nothingto eat except two bananas between 6 in themorning and 6 in the evening. That fastmay have cured my indigestion, for I neverhad it any more.

“Did your father swap hats with you, ordo you think your head is big enough fora man’s hat ?” one of the Raleigh freshmen atthe A. and M. asked me as I landed at thecollege grounds.The formalities of entering college were

soon over. No questions were asked. Noexaminations required. As it was the firstsession of the institution, the bars were down.Almost anybody of the right color couldenter. That free and easy way saved me.My school work had to be haphazard, andmy knowledge would not have stood any

'test. The only books I had read clearthrough were the Shorter Catechism and JimCummings, a detective story.

The A. and M. College was not well equip-ped at that time. I roomed in “Big Seven-teen,” and had sixteen roommates. That

sort of aggregation was not condusive toprofound study. I wrestled, boxed, fought,and otherwise cavorted, but made very littleeffort to improve my mind.

Soon after entering I saw that my fundswould give out long before Christmas unlessthey were augmented in some way. A goodfriend, Colonel Hubbard, the steward; Mrs.Carroll, the matron, or somebody else, se-cured me a place as waiter in the students’dining—room at 8 cents an hour. I madenearly enough to pay my own board. Themoney I got was not the best part of thatjob, but the connection I had with the larder,and cupboard. The day I reached RaleighI weigher one hundred pounds, and twomonths later I tipped the scales at one hun-dred and forty.

READS ESSAY ON FAVORITE TOPIC,It was my good fortune to help organize

the Pullen Literary Society, and read anessay on “Mules,” and make a few remarkson “Crows.” The thing I remember best wasa free—for-all fight between the occupants ofthe two dormitory floors precipitated bysome gossip. Before the staid old farmerboys knew what was going on they wererushed into a scrap that lasted for an hour,and was stopped by the turning in of the firebell. I lost a perfectly good shirt in thatmill, and gained a handful of hair I pulledfrom the head of the enemy.My recollection now is that I never looked

at a book during my entire three and a halfmonths at the A. and M. The only real neatjob I pulled off there was when I drove ateam of mules out of a hole. The negrodriver of the college farm drove his wagondrawn by four big mules, into a wet placeon the college campus, and could not get out.The mules were “stalled” when I appearedon the scene. Try as he did, the drivercould not get a united effort from the team.He gave up and went for a fifth mule.While he. was gone I walked up to each mule,whispered in his ear—as Uncle Joe hadtaught me to do—then mounted the saddlemule, see—sawed the lead pair a time or two,and gave the word to go. To the surpriseof everybody there looking on, the mules

moved together, and pulled the wagon outof the bog. Mrs. Carroll, who had beenwatching me, yelled “Hurrah!” and clappedher hands.

Christmas, when I went home, I did nottake my trunk, for I expected to return.For some reason, however, Colonel Holladay,the president, wrote my father and told himthat if he could use me to advantage on thefarm it would be better to keep me there,as I had done no good at the A. and M.That was a blow to my pride; but he was

right. I think what queered me with theauthorities of the college was my habit ofclimbing over the walls of the dormitory toget in after 11 o’clock at night. The collegedoors were closed at 11 every night and thewatchman was required to report all whofailed to get in on time. A New Bern ladand myself, if late getting in, would scalethe walls by mounting the corner brick bybrick, and then let ourselves through a sky—light. One night Mr. Petty, the watchman,caught me as I dropped from the skylightto the floor. I was reported.Some of the celebrities at the A. and M.

in those early days were Editor C. 13. Ash-craft, of Munroe; Scientist C. 'B. Williams,of Raleigh; John R. Rea, of Matthews. Thecollege grew rapidly and is now a fine insti-tution. I was the first lad to leave there.I was mighty glad to get back home to thefamily, the negroes, the horses and mules,and the dogs. It seemed to me I had beenaway a year or longer.

in the grade of second lieutenant in the lineof the army. The pay of a second lieuten—ant is $1,700 yearly. Officers receive 10 per

9]

cent on the yearly pay of the grade for eachterm of five years service, not to exceed 40per cent in all.

NAVY OVERWHELMS TECHSBY FIFTY TO NOTHING SCORE

ANNAPOLIS, Mn, Nov. 11.—With speedand dash that warmed the hearts of the Navycrowd, the Midshipmen went at the NorthCarolina Techs this afternoon and over—whelmed them by 50 to 0.

i It was a record score for the Navy teamfor several seasons and the general formwas much ahead of anything shown this sea-son. The Midshipmen managed to makepoints in every quarter, and their scoringincluded a goal from the field on a dropkick by Perry, which is the only score ofthe kind by a Midshipman in a number ofyears. Perry started the season at guard,dropping back to do the punting, but he hasdeveloped distinct ability to carry the ball.Every one of the backs who started the

game showed ability as a ground gainer.Martin and Davis, first team men last season,showed some of the finest running seen herefor a long time. Martin got in the trickfor which he was famous, ofgetting the ballon a fumble and running for a touchdown.

- It was in the second quarter and he covered40 yards, dodging through most of the visi—tors, but the umpire spotted some holdingand brought him back. That sort of thingwas the worst fault the Navy team hadtoday, and they lost a good many yards andsome points by it. Though their gaining hadfairly earned it, the Midshipmen were luckyto get their first touchdown, as they fumbledinside of their opponents’ five yard line.Denhardt receiving the ball. It was theonly score of the quarter.The big bunch of points was piled up in

the second quarter. On the whole, Daviswas the most consistent point getter, closelypushed by Marin and Perry.The Aggies had nothing in the way of an

attack and really gained no ground. Theback field and several players in the linewere changed at the beginning of the secondhalf or early in the third quarter, and thequarter ended with an entirely new set be-hind the line. All the new men did well but

the star of the substitutes was Ingraham forNavy, who showed remarkable ability inpicking his way out without losing speed.The one successful forward pass for theNavy was thrown by Ingraham in the lastquarter, Harrison taking the ball for a shortgain. Jackson played a strong game onend, both defensively and in running backthe kick-off which several times fell to hislot.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels was an in-terested spectator of the contest, but showedno partiality.The line—up:

Both elevens showed a thorough knowl-edge of the game and the contest from begin—ning to end was an excellent exhibition ofthe game. Each team was equipped with itsVarsity plays, and as a result showed upstronger on the offense than defense, althoughboth lines held well at critical moments.Wake Forest had the ball practically the

entire first quarter, and the opening of thesecond quarter found the ball on A. and M.’s10-yard line. Washburn made a nice gainoff tackle and Tickenor then went over.Washburn kicked goal.

A. and M.s touchdown came in thirdquarter and Phil. Hines’ brilliant return ofa kick—off for 45 yards was directly responsi—ble for it, putting the visitors in a positionto score, Sikes going through center a mo-ment later and then kicking goal for histeam’s seven points.The remainder of’ the third quarter and

the final period saw the ball in mid-field withboth sides threatening to score. With butten seconds to play, Leggett intercepted apass with an open field, but was overtakenand tackled just as the whistle blew for time.The line-up:

Harry Hartsell, ’12, former AllSouthern halfback, has been secured as headcoach for football, basketball, baseball, andtrack. Hartsell has been conceded to be oneof the most brilliant athletes ever producedin this section of the South. While at A.and M. he starred at all four branches ofathletics, and received the distinction ofbeing one of the brainiest and most popularathletes who ever wore the Red and Whiteuniform.

CLICK WINS CROSS-COUNTRYIn the annual cross—country run J. H.

Click of the class of 1919 captured firstplace. This race, which was held on Satur—day, November 4th, proved to be the mostinteresting and one of the closest held in anumber of years, the first six men coming inwithin a few yards of each other. It startedat the cannon in front of Holliday Hall at3 o’clock and ended at the McIver monu—ment in the Capitol Square.

SECRET PRACTICE VAINSecret practice in football amounts to lit-

tle in guarding the development of newplays. That is the least of its recommenda-tions. There aren’t enough new plays to beguarded. An expert scout from anotheruniversity can tell from his once—a—week ob—servations what a team is trying to do, alongwhat lines it is building its game, and canprepare to meet that game—New York Her-ald.

Professor C. Alphonso Smith, the EdgarAllan Poe Professor of English at the Uni—versity of Virginia, has been secured as oneof the lecturers for the summer school. Itwill be remembered that 'Dr. Smith is nowpreparing the biography of Mark Twain.Other lecturers will be secured and on thewhole a strong staff is expected to be on handfor the session.

Sewanee has put into effect the following“rat” rules, formulated by the Sophomores:Rats must wear the official rat cap; shall en—ter and leave chapel by the side door only;shall not walk on the grass; must take offtheir hats to professors and students wearingthe gown; shall not be allowed to carry acane; shall carry matches for the use of theupper—classmcn; and shall go out for footballevery afternoon—The Sewanee Purple.

IMPORTANT ALUMNI MEETINGFOR THANKSGIVING

The Alumni Secretary is sending out let-ters to all of the alumni, urging them to paya visit to the “Hill” on Thanksgiving day.The occasion for this request is not only theThanksgiving A. and M.-Washington andLee game, which will be played on the homegrounds for the first time, but also that thereWill be a meeting of the general alumni todiscuss and take action on a number ofmatters of great moment. This meetingwill be held in the College Y. M. C. A.auditorium at 10 :30 Thanksgiving morning.The importance of the business to come be—fore this gathering should warrant a largeattendance. Among the subjects to receiveattention will be the inauguration of Presi-dent Riddick, the new summer school, ath—letics, and an increase in enrollment.The football game in itself should draw

large numbers of former students to theCapital City on Thanksgiving. Washingtonand Lee is conceded to have one of the bestelevens in the country this season, and withthe Tech. Warriors under the guidance ofHarry Hartsell and other former gridironstars, a good exhibition may be expected.

ATLANTA ASSOCIATIONHOLDS INTERESTING MEETING

At a well attended meeting of the AtlantaA. and M. Alumni Association on October31st a number of interesting topics came up.This organization is attempting to securebetter newspaper publicity for the Collegethroughout that section, and definite planswere formulated and adopted which are sureto have beneficial effect. The matter ofpromoting a broader athletic relationship be-tween A. and M. and some of the Southerncolleges is also receiving their attention, andsteps are being taken toward this end. Itwas decided that the association would givea banquet about the middle of December.This will be made sufficiently attractive to

induce all former students from that vicinityto be present.The Atlanta Association is our youngest.

It is, therefore, especially gratifying to hearof the activity and interest being displayedby it. Some of our older organizationswould do well to profit by their example.

belt work enough to keep a 20—H. P. engine busy whennot domg field work. This belt work alone will in mostcases pay the entire yearly fuel bill of a Titan 10-20tractor. Add to this the deep plow1ng, disking,harrowmg, seeding, fallowing, harvesting and haulingthe Titan will do during the year, at less than horse cost,and you see at once what a gilt edged investment this trac-tor is.
