CLOSE AND EXCITING GAME ALL THE WAY
Poor Team"; Work ?a,n& Wretched
Shooting of Fouls Lose Against
a Team Individually Inferior
The local basketball season
was opened last Monday night
at the Gymnasium by . a contest
with"JtheDurham Y. M. C. A.
Carolina lost the game by one
pointTthe , final, score, being 23
to 22 in favor of Durham. The
finish was close and exciting, the
last two minutes of play being
especially lively. The winning
goal. was made by a Y. M. C. A.
player knocking the ball into the
basket from a held-ball'throw up.
Captain Chambers started the
game off auspiciously enough by
dropping a pretty one in after a
few minutes of play. Holcomb,
however, soon retaliated with
another, which on3 account of
being thrown after he was fouled,
counted three. Y M. C. A. al
most immediately added another
from'field. . After , that Jhe .two
teams took turns, first Carolina
shooting goal, then'Durham scor
ing. When time was ca'led for
the first half the score stoodll to
10 in favor of Durham.
In the second half Carolina
started in to win and ran up six
points, two'on fouls, before Dur
ham woke up. Then for several
minutes both'sides failed to score;
but with about fourTminutes to
play, Durham rallied and made
eight points while Carolina'was
collecting three, two on a pretty
throw by Long, a new man.
This left Y. M. C. A. one point
ahead, but Redman, another
new man, changed the score in
our favor by a field goal. With
less than a minute to play excite
ment rose to) fever heat to see
which way fortune's wheel would
turn next. The end came unex
pectedly. On the throw up of
held ball the Durham player
knocked the sphere into the
basket, and before anything else
could be done the timekeeper
rushed into the court calling,
"time out."
The game showed the Carolina
team to be very weak in passing
and team work. Tnere was not
enough of either; but there was
too much individual playing.
With better individual players
and better goal throwers they
lost the game through lack of
these things to an individually
weaker team which, however,

GERRARD HALL, FRIDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY
NEW BASEBALL COACH
ill Arrive Soon and Pre
pare for Hard Schedule
It will not be long before the
coach for baseball will be here.
Coach, George Bowers, highly
recommended by Connie Mack, of
the Philadelphia Athletics, will
be the man to put the team into
shape for the heavy schedule of
twenty three games.
Three years ago-in 1910--Bow-ers
played on the pennant win
ning team in the Tri State Lea
gue. In 1911-1912 he coached
the team of the Delancev High
School in Philadelphia, Penn.
Last year he played first base
and outfield on the Anderson
team of the Carolina League.
Bowers is expected to be here
between the first and fifteenth of
February, -just about a month
before the opening game of the
season which will be played with
Oak Ridge here on March 14.
The new coach is fast and ready
with a good record behind hitn
not only f b.-ing a player, but
also of being a good coach.
The schedule, which is first
printed in this number, is one of
the Inst Carolina has ever had.
It is this result of the efforts of
Manager Strange and Garduate
Manager McLendon that gives us
eleven games here on the Hill.
Of particular interest is the A.
& M. game in Raleigh. The
two great state institutions are
at last getting together and com
plete relations will be resumed
from this time on.

The Dramatic Club has come
back. " What ' happened to
Jones", presented in Gerrard
Hall January 28th before some
five hundred people, scored a dis
tinct hit' ann showed beyond "a
doubt that histrionic talent is not
lacking in the University.
The play is admirably suited
for production by a college dra
matic club. A highly artificial
comic farce, it is full of ridiculous
situations from beginning to
end. Jones, a traveling sales
man for a hymn book house, with
playing cards as a side line, as
sumes tne role of an Australian
bishob; the real bishop becomes
mixed up with an escaped luna-
"SEVEN
It
tic, and interminable difficulties
result.
Upon ilie shoulders of C. L.
Coggins in the title role of Jones
fell most of the responsibility
and he handled it well. Through
out the long, part he was always
at home on the stage, always at
ease, and the complicated sitUB
tions he always mastered. A
little more life, perhaps, might
have helped out at limes, but
little fault can be found with his
work as a whole Coggins seemed
to gather confidence as he went
along and was noticeably , better
toward the latter part of thejplay.
For the best acting in the en
tire cast, though, hats off to W.
P.M. Weeks as fSbeneezer Goodly
Maybe it was because he had
living examples of the antiquated
professor around him, but cer
tainly he acted the professor of
anatomy in impressive style.
Every second of the time he was
on the stage he was the professor
carrying out all the infinite de
tails in a manner almost profess
ional. His make-up was the
best in the cast,, his every little
gesture was to the point, and his
whole bearing was prophetic . of
even better work in the future.
In spite of the manifold diffi
culties of filling a feminine role
all six female parts were well
taken. H. V. Johnson, as Mrs.
Goodly, was probably the, best
and fitted admirably as the
middle - aged, narrow .-. minded
wife. W. B. Pitts as Alvina
Starlight looked his part and per
formed first - straight. H. C.
Conrad's Cissy was the best look
ing woman on the stage and his
feminine detailswere excellent.
The minor parts were accept
ably filled, B. D.- Applewhite as
the policeman and Don Harris as
the Swedish servant girl being
probably the best. The very
obvious difficulties of production
in Gerrard Hall were met fairly
well.
All in all, "What Happened to
Jones" was encouraging. It is
certainly the best Dramatic Club
performance of a college genera
tion, and with a little more snap
and go will compare favorably
with any amateua performance
iu this section of the country.
To professor McKie, Cross, and
Booker go the credit of coaching
and to Mrs. W. M. Dey ihe credit
for supervising the make-up of
the feminine parts.
GLEE CLUB GOING ON EXTENDED TOUR
The University Glee Club, un
der the care of Manager Speight
Hunter, will leave the early part
of next week on a trip through
the western part of the State.
The itinerary of the club is Mor
ganton, Feb. 3rd; Lenoir, the
4th; Hickory, the Sth; Winstori
Salem, the 6th; Mt. Airy, the
7th; and Greensboro, the 8th.
From all indications the club
should enjoy a prosperous trip
one that will serve as a good ad
vertisement for the University.

. IS GRRISTIANITYiPRACnCABLE?
What Is Its Relation to the Modern
j Fomily ane to Modern World of
i Business!
j The sixth series of the John
Calvin McNair lectures was de
livered in Gerrard Hall on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday nights by
Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Har
vard University. The lectures
were largely attended. In addition
to the student body, many people
from various'; parts of the State
were on the Hill in order to at
tend the lectures.
The general theme of all of Dr.
Peabody's addresses was "The
Practicability of he Christian
Life." He spoke on this directly
in the first lecture; in the second
he dealt with "Christian Life
and the Family," reserving for
the third lecture the question of
"Christian Life and the World of
Modern Business." " '
f In his first lecture, Dr. Peabody
laid down the proposition that
the problem of the Christian life
is a practical and genuine affaiiv
Paul reinforces the general doc
trine of Christian ethics to specific
circumstances. Is it possible ten
day, as in the first century, to
maintain a sober, righteous, pious
life amid modern social conditions
under which the average man has
to devote nine-tenths of his time
to the making of a living? Must
not one choose between the gos
pel idealism and modern unita-
rianism? The effects of the mis
conduct of professing Christians
on one hand and of the austerity
of such a life as Tolstoi's seem
to confirm this view. So do many
other modern interpretations of
the gospel, as the interpretation
of Jesus as a Socialist.
Such as these, however, distort
the perspective: close' scrutiny of
ih se arguments reveal the fact
that the Christian religion is
much bigger than either 'its de
fenders or critics have guessed.
True Christianity is not some
thing published in Palestine; it is
a iiving, growing spirit As one
reads the gospels of theNew Tes
tament, one finds two great words:
power, life. They are not words
of opinion, but symbols of dyna
mic faith. Christian character
becomes, then, a living and an "
expanding growth; and on this
conclusion rests not the practi
cability of the Christian life, but
its utility.
In his second lecture, Dr.
Peabody passed to certain details
