To the Editor: In The Tar Heel, of January 28th was a card relating" to a "ru mor around the campus that the Advisory Committee has been warn ed not to offer more than $650 and expenses for a foot ball coach." This is a mistake. The committe has not been warned but only sug gested to offer $750 This amount is not the limit but only a "starter." The article says also that "we positively 'cannot get a good man for so small a salaiw." Coach Olcott was paid only $600 and expenses the first year. So far as putting- ourselves in the class with minor colleges and prep schools by offering 650, we are already below the class of minor colleges in the subscription 'line. M. I., whom we consider a minor college, has only 280 students while we have over 600, gets $1,400 in subscriptions, while we get $250. Now if we must "put out our money and get a first class man" we- have first got to get the money. We offered Coach Olcott $900 this year without expenses and luckily were able to pay it on account of tickets to the Virginia game. If we had not been able to get it from the yames where was it coming- from? This "one man Who says no" with the three other mem bers of the Faculty who are on the Advisory Committe would have had to dig" down in their pockets and pay it. So it seems to me that if they haven't the rig"ht to suggest the salary of the coach then tell ma who has. Instead of raising- our voices for what we think is right, let us raise the money to get a good coach and then we can name the salary. Wm H. Smith. Magazine Editors Entertained at Professor Cobb's. The Magazine editors were given a most enjoyable reception Wednes day evening, January 27, by Miss Penelope Cobb at the home of her brother, Professor Collier Cobb. Professor Cobb is chairman of the faculty committee on the Magazine, and this happy method was taken to bring about a closer relation to one who brought the Magazine to such a high standard not so many years ago and those who at present are working toward that same end. The few hours were thoroug-hly en joyed in the talkative game, Pit, and not unnaturally, perhaps a young lady bore off the prize. To Miss Hume was given a box of Huyler's, which she generously meted out to the company, and after a long and exhausting contest Mr. Rankin finally won the consolation prize, in the shape of a balloon, which makes a noise when you blow it. Those present were as follows: Misses Bafringer, Charlottesville, Va.; Alexander, Cobb, Hume and Venable. The editors present were Messrs. Dameron, Johnston, Mc Lean, Graham, Harper and Ranking University Sermon. Rev. Mr. M. D Hardin, of Char lotte, preached the University ser mon for January last Sunday even ing. He spoke very interestingly. His text was from John 18:37. Mr. Hardin told the story of the creation as the scientist understands it. He gave the theory of the for mation of the earth and the begin ning of life upon it. How through gradual evolution one animal be came separated from the rest. The animal is man. Man who was sep arated from all other forms of life and differing from them in that he had a soul. ' "In broad terms, " said the speaker, "the scientific and the Biblical stories of , the creation are the same. In it all there is one purpose the development of man. God must have had man in his idea from the beginning. Step by step, man has developed until he has be come united to an unseen spirit world, He yearns for light, for life, for God." Mr. Hardin then spoke of Christ as a man who felt only the spiritual and the divine upon his life; a man who knew that his life was not an accident. ; It was to fulfil God's purpose in making a divine revela tion of supreme love and truth; the truth that man is a spiritual be ins'", and,, destined to live forever; that Christ is the controller and maker of this world's destinies, and is bringing it to completion. The outlines of his plan of completion are found in the Bible. Man was born so that his life might be a part of this plan. However, he may throw himself athwart the plan, but he doe not change it; he destroys himself. God is rational and employs him self in things that are worthy of his power. So ought man; other wise life is a failure. It is a fail ure if it ends in a race like India's, or if it ends in a life of ease and wealth, a life neglecting the soul and the spiritual powers. Man's life should fill a part of God's great purpose; its chief end should be to glorify Him. This is the only free life- Freedom means the spontan eous adjustment of one's self to law. Yackety-Yack.

The patriotism and loyalty of col lege men, outside of a few cranks are beyond question, but surely those qualities were as evident in the Civil War, when college athlet ics were in their infancy, as at any time since. Everything that tends to the growth of strength, courage and self command is to be encourag ed; and we heartily believe in col lege athletics But we don't be lieve in that fierce, and sometimes ungenerous rivalry, that mad desire for victory, that spirit of pettifog ging, that intemperate hullabaloo over success, and that childish grief after a defeat that show themselves too often in intercollegiate athletics. The college athlete has not learn fd that external calm in victory and defeat which is rightly regarded as necessary. Where is this calm when men boohoo like babies when they are beaten? Where is the ex ternal calm of the young maniacs who celebrate an athletic victory by defiling property or rioting in the street? The college athletes need external and internal calm. They and the great mass of follow ers need to set smaller store on vic tory. We hope to see athletics more generally diffused in the col lege world instead of being sporad ic and spotty.
