OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 Volume XXV. No. 16 BASKETBALL SEASON I OPENS WITH VICTORY THE CAROLINA QUINTET SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF REAL TEAM WORK 49-30 RESULT OF FIRST GAME Durham Y. M. C A. Team Exhibits Streak of Individual Playing but Give In To Superior Passing In Second Half By superior passing and team work, Carolina was able to defeat the Durham Y. M. C. A. quintet Tuesday night in the first game of the season, by the score of 49 to 30. Carolina rooters were surprised at the showing of the team of which four players are entirely new men. The Y. M. C. A. men shot with accuracy during the first lialf, Roth's individual work featuring. The Carolina five showed symp toms of nervousness at the first of the game and' allowed the visitors to run up a neat score. But during the second half, Carolina opened with a strong offensive and swept the Durham team off the floor, The dribble was used effectively by the visitors until the Carolina guards began to systematically break it up. Grandin, who replac ed Perry at center, played a con sistont game which materially add ed to the score. The work of Ten nent and Tennent at guard and Sheppard and McDuffie at forward indicate that the team will develop into a strong aggressive one tefore the season begins in earnest). During the first half-the rule of no bounds was in force. The use of the long dribble made the game an unnecessarily rough one (Continued on Page Six) I What's to Happen and When Monday, Feb. 5 President Graham in Chapel.

DRAMATIC CLUB WILL PLAY AT ST. MARY'S The Dramatic Club, on Satur day night, Feb. 3, 1917, is to pre sent Messrs. George Greene and G. W. Wimberley in "Old Cronies," Messrs. Chase and McClamrock in Lord Dunsany's "The (Glittering Gate," and Messrs Johnston, Jor dan and Meredith, in "Food," to an audience at St. Mary's Raleigh. At the final dress reheasal on Fri day there was even better "form" than when the plays were given in Gerrard Hall in December. "Buck" Wimberley and "Dumpy" Greene have got down the fine points in "Cronies" and both are giving promise now of acting their parts in an inimitable manner. The general theme of the play is light and is sure to be well re ceived by a St. Mary's audience. Lord Dunsany's "Glittering Gate" lacks catchy lines and tell ing action for amateurs to per form. The play is very artistic to the close observer, but even though the actors are doing their parts intelligently, it will probably not bo as successful as when it was presented before the "Amateur Club" in New York. The play, to be appreciated, must be thor oughly understood. "Food" will undoubtedly be en joyable The main actor, Mere dith, the wife, is the only one who has to display any variety of facial expression and emotion. It is, of course, tragic to the actors and farcical to the observers. The wifes costume, an ultra-modern open blouso effect in old rose accordion pleated crepe, accentuates the ab surdity of the situation. The play is by a North Carolinian. The Yackety Yack will go to press next week, and all statistics, write-ups, snap shots, photographs etc., must bo submitted within the next few days if they are to go in the annual. The bachelors of Chapel Hill which term includes instructors, coaches and graduate students gave two informal dances while the student body was floundering in a maelstrom of exams. One was at Prof. J. W. Betts' the other at Professor James'. - Jack Powell, of Spray, Walter Toy, of Chapel Hill, and Earle Johnson, of Raleigh, have been in itiated into Zeta Psi. Frank Clarvoe, of Philadelphia, has been initiated into Pi Kappa Phi. DR. HUGH BLACK DRIVERS SERIES OF LECTURES HERE "THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF LIFE" THEME OF McNAIR LECTURES Given Self, To Find God. Such was the theme that ran all through the 1917 Eeries of McNair ! lectures on "The Great Questions of Life" in Gerrard Hall, Wednes j day, Thursday, and Friday of this week by Dr. Hugh Black, of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, and formerly of Edinburgh, Scotland. On Wednesday, Dr. Black asked the question : Is God ? and gave his point of view. On Thursday he asked: Has God Said ? and treated the question of revelation. On Friday he asked : Shall Man Say to God ? and dealt With prayer. "There is nothing dogmatic about what I have to say," Dr. Black explained, "except the as surance with which I state my own point of view. Religion is a man's reaction to the universe, and faith is not simply the accep tance of certain intellectual prop oositions but is an attitude of the soul and the life. "We must discard the theory of the jungle that life is merely a case of the hammer and the anvil with the "hungry ego" as the hammer, and see a relationship be tween God and man. We can not keep theology to itself in an air- i tight compartment as David Cop perfield's aunt did her patch of grass. For the history of man's self attainment is but the history of God's revelation. Every effort of man after God is but the re sponse to some divine summons. We must take Christianity as a spiritual adventure and dedicate ourselves to the proposition that the Kingdom of God is possible that the sons of man are born the sons of God. It is not a question of Darwin or Moses, but a ques tion of combining the two. "We are learning to think of the world not in terms of statics but in terms of dynamics of power. The world is as big as the men who inhabit it. Let us have the "most highest" God. "He that hath the spirit of God can hear His 'silence.' " BOILER AT POWER PLANT BLOWS UP One of the boilers at the Power Plant blew up Tuesday afternoon. No one was seriously hurt, but one of the firemen was very pain fully burned by escaping steam. The plant is now running on two boilers. The boilers had been con demned for some time, but it was hoped that they would continue to do service until the new power plant is ready for operation. The Di Society will hold an in formal smoker Saturday, night to which all members of the Society, both old and new, are invited. There will be faculty speakers, and eats will be passed around be tween times. If you are fortu nate enough to be a "Di," come out and have a good time. "B" is a dangerous letter it transforms rainstorm into brainstorm. "HIGH SCHOOL WEEK" TO BE AN EVENTFUL ONE "High School Week" bids to surpass all previous occasions of its kind at Chapel Hill this Spring. In addition to the tri angular debates there will be a state track meet in which many schools will take part. The state high school tennis tournament will be played off at this time. The basketball league for the state high school championship starts immediately after Feb. 19. Most of the largest high schools in the State have already entered. MEMBERS OF GLEE CLUB ANTICIPATE GREAT TRIP The Glee Club leaves for its spring trip Monday, February 5. The tour will last one week and will include Goldsboro, Newbern, Washington, Wilson, Rocky Mount and Raleigh (St. Mary's). The ad vertising matter has been placed in capable hands and a very success ful trip is anticipated. The program is being consider ably changed: a bass solo by Sam Fisher, Schubert's Serenade on violins and guitars, violin solo, Piernes Serenade by Lashmit and Rubinstein's remarkable arrange ment of Yankee Doodle by Earl Harris at the piano, being substi tuted for other numbers. The "rags" in the mandolin club will be discarded for new Broad way goods, and the Hawaiian number will add recent hit or two from Honolulu. The orchestra is adding Paderewski's Minuet to its repertoire. Buck Wimberley will sing something new in addition to the Ballad of Richmond which Clarvoe wrote for his Fall song. ."Dumpy" Green will sing one of his inimitable "songs on the gui tar." Jim Howell will howl on some yodeling stunts and will pro bably be assisted by Enoch Sim mons, ex-lyric-tenor of the "Scrap Iron Quartet," and ex-yodler of the University Glee Club'. NORTH CAROLINA CLUB MEETS At the N. Carolina Club meet ing Monday night, H. B. Simp son led a most interesting discus sion on "Total Taxable Wealth in North 'Carolina." At the next meeting of the Club, to be held February 12, there will be a de bate on, "Buying Feed and Food with Cotton and Tobacco Money." This debate promises to be a most inteiesting one, and all members of the Club are urged to be pres ent. Judging from the faculty grade reports posted on the bulletin boards, it seems that the high brow professors and the meek and lowly freshmen are oi( a common level when they come face to face with examinations. Beginning next Sunday, Feb. 4, Dr. W. W. Pierson, Jr., will speak four Sundays in succession to the Baptist Baraca Class at the Baptist Church. All are cordial ly invited to hear him. If preparedness why would it not be logical for a man to keep from drinking by storing booze in his trunk. Price, Five Cent REPORT OF PRESIDENT E.K. GRAHAM PUBLISHED CONTAINS INTERESTING FACTS CONCERNING PROGRESS, ETC., OF UNIVERSITY HE PRESENTS LIFE OF UNIVERSITY Problems of Growth and Progress of the Institution and Other Phases of University Life Dealth With The President's Report for 1916 together with the reports 6f all the officers of the University . came from the press on January 15, and reprints of the special report of President Graham are now being distributed widely throughout the State. ? The two outstading impressions which the report c nveys are: first that the University during 1916 rendered the largest service to North Carolina that it has ever rendered, and second, that it can not increase its present service, or even maintain its standing among the other institutions of the county unless its support and equipment are materially increased. ' ' It is very difficult to even esti mate the extent of the service ren dered during the year, for it is not a tangible thing, and cannot, there fore, be measured by ordinary standards. Certainly the most im portant accomplishment of the year has ben the actual teaching of 1259 regular students, 1052 Summer School Students, 185 practicing physicians pursuing courses in-post-graduate medicine, and .40 correspondence students a total of 2536. For 50 out of 52 weeks of the year the whole University plant was in use, and every part of it carried its maximum load, On the outside the service has been correspondingly large. In. (Continued from Page Three) BASEBALL CANDIDATES ARE OUT WARMING UP With the advantage of warm baseball weather for the last few days Coaches Campbell and Kearn have started to looking over the material out of which is to come the baseball team for the, coining season. With only a few letter men back, the prospects for a win ning team are not a3 bright as they might be, yet there is promise of a reliable aggregation. Powell, who as a freshman showed up. so, well last year, will probahly fee the mainstay of the pitching, corps. Captain Barnes will doubtless be the nucleus around which the out field will be built. Pippin who last year was forced to quit on account of an injury will again make a strong bid for an outer garden po sition. Among the infield men, Herty and Johnson at second, Jen nette at short, and Pitman at first' seem to be showing up best. Ben nett will again make a "strong bid for catcher. The schedule of the coming season is one of the hard est ever arranged for a Carolina team, there heing 21 games, in cluding games with some of the strongest college and university, teams in the country. Twelve game are to be played on the Hill, in cluding one each with George town, Yale, Colgate and Virginia.
