C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1917 Price, Five Cents TAR HEEL TOSSERS TROUNCE V. M. I. FIVE CADETS PLAY FAST AND CLEAN GAME AND FINISH WITH STRONG OFFENSIVE REAL EXHIBITION OF TEAM WORK Team Leaves for Five-Day Trip Thru Virginia Schedule Includes Vir ginia, Washington and Lee, V. M. I. and V. P. I. Carolina finished up the first part of the season in fine style last Thursday night when the strong V. M. I. team went down before the superior passing and shooting of the home quint. The game started with a rush and for a few moments it seemed as if the two teams were pretty evenly matched. However, after McDuffic, assisted by Raby, had secured the first goal while in mid air, the visiting team lost hold and for the rest of the first period things went right for the White and Blue. No bounds were ob served in tho first half, and at times the play was rough, but fast and snappy. It would be hard to feature any particular individual for the game was a real exhibition of team work. Every man fell into his place on both the offensive and defensive. The goals secured were not spec- j tacular. McDuffie and Shepard went bet ter than they have hitherto gone. The close guarding of the Carolina defense men and Grandin's roving work kept the ball at the Tar Heel end of the floor most of the time, and even when by speedy team work the Virginians managed to get the horsehide within striking distance, poor shooting prevented a score. Fumbles by both teams kept the play rather slow at stages of the game, but was of no real' importance as far as the result was concerned, for the aggressive floor work of the two quints kept the (Continued on Page Five) DR. W. L. POTEAT SPEAKS HERE SUNDAY EVENING , "The Thirty Silent Years" is the theme, of Dr. W. L. Poteat, president of Wake Forest, who speaks in Gerrard Hall at 7 P. M. The first thirty years of Christ's life have always formed a subject of intense interest to all students of history. Dr. Poteat's lecture on this subject is said to bo in tensely interesting and suggestive. This lecture forms the initial part of the program of the Religi ous Meetings Department of the Y. M. C, A. for this spring. It was deemed advisable not to have the usual intensive meetings im mediately after exams. Instead there will be at intervals of about three weeks, .a visiting lecturer. After his lecture the subsequent Tuesday night meetings will be given over to faculty and students speakers on questions suggested by him. Discussion groups will be formed in all tne dormitories and in the town for tho purpose of thrashing out the questions raised in these meetings. Sunday evening, these groups will meet a few moments after the lecture and form plans for tho en suing meetings.

LATIN-AMERICAN CLUB MEETS The Latin-American Club held its semi-monthly meeting on Mon day night in the history seminar with a good attendance. R. W. Madry opened the meeting with a paper on lands and . products, in which he discussed the increasing value of real estate and natural products in the various countries of Latin-America. A general dis cussion by members of the club then followed. "What are you studying now ?" asked Mrs. Johnson. "We have taken up the subject of molecules," answered her son. "I hope you will be very atten tive and practice constantly," said the mother. "I tried to get your father to wear one, but he could not keep it in his eye."- Kansas City Star. "I noticed you got up and gave your seat to a lady in the street car the other day." "Yes, since childhood I have al ways respected a woman with a strap in her hand." CLASS ATHLETICS NOW ON THE UPWARD ROAD RULES AND REGULATIONS OF NEW SYSTEM READY TO BE PUT IN ACTION CONTEST ENDS WITH TUG-OF-WAR Coach Campbell Calls Together Com-' mittee Composed of Class Rep resentatives and Members , of Faculty In accordance Avith the new class athletic 'system, basket-ball will start on Friday, 23. It is the plan of the managing com mittee to conclude the basket-ball series within a week's time. To do this it will be necessary to play two games each afternoon of the week beginning with Friday. ' The seniors will play the sopho mores, and the juniors will play the freshmen at the opening of this series. The contest is to be handl ed on a regular percentage basis; and, in case of a tie, it will be de cided by an extra game. The win ner of this series is to receive three points ; the next " coutestant two ; and the third, one point. Baseball will be conducted in the same manner the team with the highest percentage receiving eight points ; second place, lour ; and third place, two. Track, however, will be decided on a slightly different, ba;j,3, al though the mile, half, and quarter will be decided as usual. That is, the order in which the contestants cross the tape will be averaged, and the class with the best aver age wins the event and. thereby scoring one point. Each class must enter three men in each event. In the case of the 100 yd. dash, the 220, yd. dash and the (Continued on Page Six) NEW POWER HOUSE NEAR COMPLETION Professor Coker's new arbore tum will have a hard rival for the honor of beautifying the valley be hind the Peabody building, for tho Power House which is now near ing completion is quite a preten tious affair. The red brick, and white trimmings will about taka the cake for recent decorations on I be campus. While the contractor and the architect did not necessari ly mean the power station to be exactly a thing of beauty, still it will probably be that and also a joy forever. At least the heat and light it is guaranteed to furnish the present dwellers on the cam pus and their immediate and re mote successors to seats of glory in and about U. X. C, will cause joy to flow in rivers. The station was begun some time last summer, and will be finished "sometime soon," . a phrase which i3 to bo considered in the same class with the "some where in France" which our week ly pictorials use with such fre quency. When it i3 finally com pleted there will ho doubt be ter races about it and "Keep off the Grass" signs, which will be ob served in the usual way. The gra dual rise of the smokestack has been the most interesting part of the operation to most of the spec (Continued on Page Five) REV. F. M. JOHNSON HERE DELIVERS UNIVERSITY SERMON IN GERRARD HALL '"Man in His Daily Work is Turning Stone Into Bread" is Theme of Speaker Conference Held - During First of Week Rev. F. M. Johnson, Bishop Co1 adjutor of Missouri, preached the University sermon last Sunday in Gerrard Hall. The Bishop im pressed the people of Chapel Hill with his big self and his still big ger personality. Sunday morning Bishop John son took as his text St. Luke IV, 3-4. "Man in his daily work' is turning stones into bread. Whether he be engaged in commerce, manu facture, mining, or statesmanship, his aim is to turn stones into bread. Six days were given by God for turning stones into bread and God has blessed man in his work. It is man's duty to do his work on every day of . the six as much as it is his duty to reverence God on the day He has set apart for worship. A point that one should observe, however, is that man must reverence and see God all through the six days of his labor, and not put on his Sunday reverence as he would draw on a garment. "Man should turn stones into bread : it is his duty. Our Saviour refused to do so at Satan's word, because it was then not his duty. He had been a worker and knew (Continued on Page Three) j YACKETY-YACK GOES TO PRESS THIS WEEK Differing from last year's book in many new features, particular ly in the comic cartoons of Seniors the 1917 Yackety Yack went to press this week and will appear on the campus in about a month. Editor Patton and his staff are optimistic in the belief that this year's annual will be the best yet. The size of the book will be prac tically the same as that of last year but it will have a limp roycroft cover. A snappy bunch of car toons has been contributed by Rus sel Henderson. The dedication of the book will be announced later. Tau Kappa Alpha initiated Saturday night Howard Sharpe and Marion Ross, who represented us in debate against George Wash ington University in December. The Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society held its 228th meeting Tuesday evening in Chemistry Hall. Mr. Collier Cobb gave an illustrated lecture on "Recent Changes in Currituck Sound." Mr. H. II. Williams spoke on "The Philosophy of Science." "What a lot of baby-food there are these days!" "Yes, it is a wise child that knows his own fodder these times." Life. Hokus "So you believe in signs, eh ? Well, when a man is always making new friends, what is that a sign of ?" Pokus "It's likely to be a sign that his old friends have found him out." ROYAL FESTIVE BOARD WELCOMES MEN OF '17 BRILLIANT BANQUET HELD AT SWAIN HALL BY THE GRAD UATING CLASS MUSIC AND FOOD WOO 1917 Hanford, Brown, and Campbell on Speech Program Ramsey, Er win and Sharpe Respond in True Seventeen Spirit The annual banquet of the se nior class was held last Friday night in Swain Hall beginning at nine-thirty. The banquet was the largest -class banquet in year3 the number present being eighty four. The menu follows: Chilled Grape-fruit au Cognac Amandes Sales Pim Olas v Celeri Glace Poulet a la King . v Petit Pois , . Filet de Boeuf au Diablo Pomme de Terre au Gratin Salade Aspereges Mayonnaise Glace au Xapolitan Cafe Xoir Petits Pains Beaten Biscuits Cigars Cigarettes Mr. Oliver Rand, president of the class, was toastmaster. Guests were Dr. Hanford, Dr. Brown, and Mr. Campbell. Their after dinner speeches were humorous as well as timely. Mr. Hanford played upon tha; emotions of those present by a very vivid ghost story and told other interesting stories. Mr. Brown and Mr. Campbell were equally enjoyable. The student speakers were Gra ham Ramsey, Sam Erwin, and Sharpe, and a host of others. The play was around one spot for a good part of the game namely the art of asking the blessing with the most amusing examples the most memorable of which was on "Muck" Williams, who! was said to have performed at the Summer school (very hurriedly of course) (Continued on Page Three) .... MANY NEW BOOKS RECEIVED BY LIBRARY The library is receiving new books daily and in order to call the attention of those who do not "hang around" the library enough to get a chance at them it is our intention to review some of them from time to time. One of the cleverest playwrights of today is J. M. Barrier. His popularity has long since been proven by the success of Peter Pan, A Kiss for Cinderella and The Little Minister, in England as well as in Xew York. A book called Half Hours of J. M. Barrie has just arrived. It contains four short plays Pantaloon, The Twelve Pound Look, Rosalind, and The Will. They are very up-to-date and I am afraid Xietzsche would say they are decadent. The char acters are strikingly human, and, despite that the hero and heroine do not speak in one whole play, one becomes just as well acquaint ed with them as with Mr. Pick wick and Barney Pitts, both of whom spoke all the time. The phantasy Pantaloon is exqui site if the imagination amend it. To appreciate it thoroughly one (Continued on Page Six)
