TUT OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Jaw Volume XXV. No. 18 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1917 Price, Five Cents Tar mi FAST PLAYING OF TEAM TOO MUCHFOR V. P. I. wflITE AND BLUE "TOSSERS" COME BACK STRONG IN SECOND HALF SCORE: V. P. L23--CAR0LINA 31 By Victory Tuesday Carolina Beat the Team, That Beat the Team That Beat Carolina' The husky and clever V. P. I. team failed to intimidate the White and Blue quint last Tues day night, and after a rough and snappy game Carolina came out master of ceremonies and wearing the long end of a 31-23 score. The jinx seemed to camp with the Virginians ab times, for splen did floor work resulted in a miss ed goal that should have counted. Wrenn and G. Cocke were the ag gressive stars for V. P I., and while the game was characterized by individual plajing at intervals by the visitors, they never lost the ability to pass and work the ball up the floor man by man. The Tech forwards seldom were free, for the two Tennent3 guarded closely and most of the shots at the Tech goal were stiff tries with one or two luck shots. For Carolina Shepard was with out doubt the genius of -the play, for Younger was repeatedly out witted, several goals being made almost under tha noses of the Tech guards. McDuffie caged a pretty goal from the middle of th2 floor, the ball bouncing high off the basket and then dropping .through. Grandin secured four goals. The Carolina pivot man out jumped his man everv time, and when Whar ton was put in for B. Cocke, Gran din continued to secure the tip-off. Raby Tennent's strong defen sive completely baffled the Tech forwards. Carolina's inability to shoot foul goals might have proved im portant, but field goals remedied the deficiency.

A. in the South at this time. This is an advance word concerning the unique gath ering of students held every sum mer in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. "Blue Ridge" is a place unsur passed in natural beauty, conven ience and comfort. Located near the mountain village of Black Mountain, and only fifteen miles from Asheville, i'. is increasingly becoming the play ground for the entire South. Here are the most majestic mountains of the entire Eastern America-High Top, the Craggies, Black, the Seven Sisters Clingman'a Dome, and Mitchell, the highest east of the Rockies. Mountain climbing, therefore, as well as sight seeing, kodaking, and the like, always occupy a promi nent place in one's stay at Blue Ridge. And abundant facilities for tennis, baseball, volley ball, basket ball, and swimming com plete the list. (Continued on Page Two) LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE PAYS UNIVERSITY VISIT Over Six Hundred Students Assemble To Welcome Men From State Legislature On" Monday, February 12, at 12:45 P. M.,. the University of North Carolina convened in Cha pel to behold what President Gra ham insisted was an exceedingly interesting spectacle, the commit tee from the State Legislature, on its annual visit to the University. . ''It is interesting," he said, "be cause it is an exhibition of demo cracy ruling itself." The committee was sent here bv the State to arrive at an estimate of how much the University is worth. It should be worth one million dollars since last Thanks giving, Dr. Graham said, for two years ago a member of the legisla tive committee solemnly promised an appropriation of that amount if we beat Virginia. We have ful filled our part of the contract. Senator Everett, f Rocking ham, was chairman of the meeting. In his opening remarks, he inspir ed new hope in the breasts of many of us by pointing out the fact that he himself was once a mere college boy inclined to fall by the wayside. He told us that 'he was suspended four or five times in his Sopho more year, and withal came out (Continued on Page Six) MATHEMATICAL CLUB The Mathematical Club held its regular monthly meeting in Chem istry Hall, Tuesday night. "The Inscription in a Circle of a Regu lar 17-gon" was the subject of a paper given by Mr. S. B. Smithey, and Dr. Archibald Henderson spoke on "Characteristic Theor ems in the Foundations of Geom etry." SENIOR CLASS MEETS At the Senior class meeting, Monday, Roy Gwt-Jtnev was elect ed manager of the Senior baseball team. Gwaltney wa3 all-class first baseman last year, and it is be lieved down Senior way that he will bring out a team this year which will distinguish itself in the championship series. The "committee on commence ment invitations reported that they had selected the invitation and had arranged to have them sold by the marshals. ' CHAPEL HILL 48 CARY 10 By exhibiting good form in han 'dling the ball, Chapel Hill won over Cary High School last Tues day, by the score of 48-10. Merritt, right guard showed un 'usual ability in covering his man, and in aiding in the team work. niLLSBORO HIGH DEFEATED In spite "of the extreme cold weather the Chapel Hill five and Hillsboro High met in "Old Com mons" last Friday week in a rough and tumble game which resulted in a 23 to 8 victory for the Chapel Hill lads. Today the Burlington girls will meet the Chapel Hill girs in their first game of the season. The visit ing five, it is said, is a strong and aggressive bunch, and will give the former state champions a lively tussle. TROPHY CUP TO BE AWARDED TO CLASS BEST IN ATHLETICS A new plan for conducting ath letics in a general way is being discussed at present with the idea of establishing it within the next few days. President Graham has called at tention to the fact that the majori ty of the students do not take part in any of the various forms of ath letics. The idea involved in the new plan is to remodel the system of class athletics so that the com petition will be keener and the spirit of rivalry more pronounced. The task of setting this new idea in motion has been placed in the hands of the student and athletic councils combined .with N Coach Campbell at the head of the com mittee. A meeting , was held by the above body and it was decided thata representative should be ap pointed from each class to serve with the committee and to be a sort of general manager of his par ticular class athletics as a whole; the managers of the individual forms of athletics being elected as usual. Although it has not been defi nitely decided upon as yet, the gen ( Continued on Page Two) MINSTRE SHOW MAY BE - ORGANIZED HEE SOON For many years past, plans have been discussed for having an old fashion minstrel show. Some have wi.-Jied to combine the Glee Club and Dramatic Club into a minstrel, others to combine these organiaztions with the band, and others to have a minstrel sepa rate from the other similar organi zations of the University. This year the plan has again suggested itself for consideration, though more seriously, and with better prospects than ever before. . The plan, though not completely developed, is to have a minstrel "first part" followed by vaudeville musical and acrobatic numbers. The talent this year seems more suited to the minstrel than ever before, and with the training which the Glee CLib members have 'already had, a good chorus could 'easily bo selected which would in sure the success of the "first part." The members 1 1 the faculty who are most interested in it have sent 'for catalogues, and if the plan de Velopes, the success depends upon the co-operation of the students.

HERE ACTIVE IN RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY Is Playing Important Part in Campus and Communty Life THE BLUE RIDGE CONFERENCE BY DR. J. WATT RAINE OF BEREA COLLEGE Dr. J. Watt Raine, of Berea College, Berea, Kentucky, ho has for many years been a leader and speaker in the Southern Student Conference, Blue Ridge, North Carolina, calls attention to the Blue Ridge Conference. "It is not a place," he says, "where abnormally pious fellows go to soak themselves in an at mosphere dripping with religion. If you are that sort of Righteous Willie, you will not feel at home there. "They would probably drop you into the swimming pool for the sheer pleasure of hearing your holy tones come gurgling up through the water. , "You might justly infer that Blue Ridge is not permeated by a severe classic formality. It is a gathering of friends ; four hun dred young men, and a few older men, enjoying themselves together for ten delightful days. There is nothing greater ihan friendship, and any possible chance to enter this Blue Ridge group should be eagerly seized. This is not a sum mer resort where you scrape a shal low acquaintance and painfully converse about the weather or the table. "Have you wished that you could share some of the deeper ex periences of sane and healthy men ? Have you wished that you could get down to something solid in re ligion? Have you wished you could take time to investigate some things that you have heard vague ly mentioned, or touched upon oc casionally but never really ex explained? (Continued on Page Five) FOURTH ANNUAL ROAD INSTITUTE HELD HERE Under the auspices, of the Uni versity, the North Carolina, Geo logical and Economic Survey, ahd the If. C. State Highway Com mission, the Fourth Annual Road Institute was held this week at the University. The purpose of the institute has been to demonstrate the new meth ods of road building and various points that may come up in high way construction. The majority of the lectures given are highly practical and theories and techni calities are only introduced when necessary. The Institute has grown re markably in the last three years At the first Institute there were 54 representatives from 24 counties; at the second, there were 80 from 29 counties; at the third there were 127 men from 43 counties and from the states ranging from the District of Columbia to Tex as. This year the enrolment has again been considerably increased. The attendance is made up of road engineers, road superintendents, (Continued on Page Six) OYER 200 MEN IN BIBLE STUDY GROUPS OF Y. M. C. A. FIELD OF WORK RANGES FROM CAMPUS AND CARRBORO TO HANGCHOW, CHINA With a field ranging from the campus and Carrboro to Hanchow, China, the student Y. M. C. A. here is doing a work equal to the extent of its territory. Every phase of the University's life is being touched by the Y. M. C. A.'s activities. Even the ignorant ne gro of Carrboro as well as the "heathen Chinee" across the ocean is being cared for and coaxed to higher planes of living. The extent of-this institution's work may be seen in the report of the various departments. FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT Only 179 of our 1200 students have paid for membership to the Y. M. C. A. Last year there were 243 paid memberships; a de ficit this year of 64 members. There is this falling off in mem berships in spite of the fact that two membership campaigns have been held and every dormitory can vassed. As the Y. M. C. A. is practically dependent on its mem berships for financial support, it Lb hoped that. the men will not wait to be approached on this subject, but will turn in their $2.00 im mediately to Francis Bradshaw. As vet there has been no canvass of the faculty on behalf of the Y. M. C. A., but plans are now being made to have each faculty mem ber canvassed . within the next week. Last year the faculty gave a total amount of $100.00 and it is probable that they will respond liberally this, year when called on. THE BARNETT FUND The Y. M. C. A, is pledged to give $500.00 each year for the support of Eugene Barnett, but for several years this amount has not been raised. Thu3 far only $36.00 has been paid in, while a total of about $200.00 has been promised for this fund. It has been estimated that if each stu dent would only give 10 cents a month for ' four months, there would be no trouble in maintain ing Barnett on the field. . BLUE RIDGE COTTAGE The old men here know what a struggle the Y. M. C. A. has had to raise $500.00 to pay its part of the cottage built at Blue Ridge by the Greensboro Normal Y. W. C A. and the University Y. M. C. A. It still owes $140.00 on this fund while Greensboro paid all of her $500.00 two years ago. Last year with a debt of $300.00 on thiscot tage, $160.00 of this amount was finally raised. If the students will respond to this cause as liberally this year as they did last year Sec retary Bradshaw believes that the Y. M. C. A. will be able to entire ly pay off this debt. An opportu nity will be given to each student (Continued on Page Four) u
