By B. J. JOHNSON
The hockey team was literally
“on the ball” this past Tuesday,
November 4, at Chapel Hill,
despite the slippery turf. In the
first two minutes of the game
Marty Davis “chalked up” a 1-0
score. Besides the forward line,
starring Peggy Patrick, “Lefty”
Pugh, Catherine Carpenter, Imo-
gene Narron,and Marty Davis,
who played well throughout the
game, the two fullbacks, Jane
Middleton and B. J. Shuler,
turned in creditable perform
ances. According to a report of
The Daily Tar Heel, “a pair of
Meredith goalies came up with a
total of nine saves.” Incidental
ly, this certain Tar Heel article
has stimulated the players and
presented such a challenge that
the “angels” hope to redeem
themselves by having the Caro
lina Coeds return “the bow” that
we were said to have given them
when they beat us 3-1. The final
curtsies will be made soon when
the two teams will meet again
on the Carolina hockey field.

"THOSE ALMIGHTY
PLATTERS"
By SAM DONAHUE
As long as your Editor has
given me this space to fill any
way I please, I’d like to get off
my chest a few things that have
been in the back of my mind for
quite some time. I’m going to try
to discuss a subject matter that
for the past few months has been
a major top of conversation
throughout the music trade —
records, disc-jockeys, and juke
boxes.
As far as I am concerned, rec
ords, disc-jockeys, and juke
boxes are positively the powers
behind the making of a band, a
vocalist or any musical outfit to
day, and there’s no getting away
from that fact.
There was a time when bands
were built strictly through the
medium of late-at-night network
broadcasts. Some pretty well-
known bands wouldn’t hesitate
to work for peanuts at any kind
of a spot where network broad
casts were included in the deal.
Times have changed, however,
and those stations that used to
carry remote airings now have a
disc-jockey spinning the platters
and have an even greater listen
ing audience than ever before.
I was with Harry James’
band in 1940, a year or so before
he made a record called “You
Made Me Love You.” The public
just didn’t pay any attention to
Harry’s band, and on many oc
casions Harry was just about
ready to call its quits. Well,
Harry stuck with it and hit the
most to the Equitation Club. A
cup, now on display in the show
case in the library, was given to
the winner, Mary McCoy.
Doris Witherspoon, Monogram
Club president, awarded mono
grams to the following girls who
have obtained one thousand
points by participation in ath
letics. Sunshine Bellamy, Ann
Josey, Ruth Summerlin, and
Jolene Weathers.

CIVIC MUSIC CONCERT
TO FEATURE QUARTET
The next Civic Music Con
cert, on Monday, November 24,
will present the National Male
Quartet. The members of this
quartet are Guilio Gari, tenor;
Attilio Baggiore, tenor; Vernon
Sanders, baritone, and Bruce
Mackay, bass.
Gari, who made his American
debut at the New York City
Center in Wagner’s “The Flying
Dutchman,” is not only a singer
but is an athlete, who loves
swimming and fishing and who
collects stamps in his spare time.
Baggiore, who is an American
tenor, has appeared on the Swift,
General Motors, and the Chase
and Sanborn radio programs in
addition to his own weekly pro
gram. He is a confirmed bache
lor, who professes a liking for
good food, good painting, good
books, and good movies.
Vernon Sanders, baritone
has a typical American back
ground. He spent his boyhood in
Hooper, Nebraska, where he got
his very early training singing in
the church choirs and in gram
mar school and high school op-
perettas.
The last of the four, Bruce
Mackay, a six-foot Scotch-Cana-
dian, who became an American
citizen and graduated from Po
mona College in California, has
done radio work, as well as op
eratic work for the San Fran
cisco Opera Company. As to his
other accomplishments, he is
considered to be a wonderful
cook. These four, as a quartet,
have developed a repertoire of
familiar classics and ballads;
their music varies from opera to
operetta.
top when he came up with those
records. If you look back, you’ll
note that every one of our top
artists came into prominence on
the strength of a hit record, or a
series of hits.
Try as you will, there’s no
definite formula for the making
of a hit record. On the contrary,
it’s usually the arrangement that
you think the least of when you
record it that busts wide open
and becomes a hit. And, some
where along the line, you’ll
usually find one or more disc-
jockeys connected with the suc
cess of a hit record.
Imagine my surprise when my
manager came to me a few
months ago with a copy of “I
Never Knew,” telling me to
make up an arrangement in a
real sweet vein and excitedly
declaring that the song was to
be revived as the background
mood music in two new pictures,
“Johnny O’clock” and “Blaze of
Noon.” We went ahead and re
corded the thing for Capitol, but
I never thought “I Never Knew”
would have any appeal in a
sweet arrangement. Well, I got
an awful big surprise when our
record of “I Never Knew”
clicked with the pubhc, and the
success of this record has cer
tainly meant a great deal to us.
So, that’s the way it is with
those records, and whenever I
hear anyone make a disparag
ing remark about records, disc-
jockeys or jukeboxes, I feel Rke
inviting that guy to meet me out
in the alley to straighten out our
differences of opinion.
