Several Changes to be
Made in Yackety Yack
To be a Military Number Individual
Instead of Group Pictures Humor
end Snap Shots to be Scattered
Thruout Good Annual is Promised
Work on the Yackety Yack has
been forging ahead since the pub
lication of an annual for this year
was definitely decided upon by the
business managers several weeks
ago. The book will be practically
the same size of last year's annual,
however several less important sec
tions will be eliminated; for in
stance, there will be no separate
department of humor. There will
be ready places throughout the an
nual for jokes and witticisms, also
for kodak pictures, snap-shots, and
the like.
This year's Yackety Yack will
be the first war number and the
military side of college work is
to be the dominant feature of the
annual. The Yackety Yack will
consist of five separate books .
Classes, professional schools, activ
ities, military and athletics, or
ganizations. . The arrangement of the pictures
of the fraternities and a great
meny of the organizations will be
oy individual photographs instead
of the usual group pictures which,
have been used in the past. This
arrangement has necessitated a sep
arate photograph of every man who
belongs to any of the organizations
represented in the annual, and

COMPARATIVE "DOPE"" SHOWS
GOOD CHANCE FOR SOUTH
ERN CHAMPIONSHIP
With a. good chance of winning
the Southern Basketball champion
ship and a fighting determination
to avail themselves of that chance,
the Carolina five sailed away from
the home port yesterday to tackle
Elon, Guilford, Lynchburg Ath
letic club and Virginia, successive
ly Georgia put Washington and
Lee out of the race, and Georgia
has been vanquished by Carolina.
Virginia bowed to the Blue and
White last year and, -according to
the Tar Heel plans, her menu for
next Tuesday night will be dust
for. the first and second courses,
and more dust for ''refreshments."
If Virginia , is again .defeated
and Carolina is successful in her
'other contests, the coveted South
ern honors will rest at Chapel if ill.
Davidson must be considered, but
as Carolina defeated Elon, Elon
rebuked V. M. I. and V. M. I.
tr;uncod Davidson there is every
indication of Carolina's superi
ority over Davidson.
Virginia is reported to be espe
cially strong this year at center
and right guard. Rixey has been
doing excellent work at center, and
altogether Virginia has an unus
ually speedy and accurate team.
Carolina is also there with the
goods as her past record has shown.
Tennent and Cuthbertson are in
good form again having recovered
from injuries received in the Geor
gia game. Liipfert's ankle is well
again and he is expected to put up
the game of his life against Rixey.

ELABORATE SETTING

CARNIVAL AND . PEP RULES
NOVEL DECORATION PLAN
CO-ED ON TOAST LIST
With one of the most elaborate
settings that has adorned a class
banquet in this college generation,
the Senior class held its banquet
last night in Swain hall. A por
tion of the hall was turned into a
veritable garden of flowers, where
good fellows got together for . the
last time to enjoy the rapidly pass
ing pleasures of college life. The
carnival Spirit ran wild in clang
ing cowbells, tooting horns, and
rattling whirligigs which, were
placed as favors at each plate.
For the first time in the history
of the institution a co-ed's name
adorned the toast list. iMiss Maud
Carson made the response to Capt.
Allen. Toastmaster York intro
duced Dr. Greenlaw as the first
speaker who was responded to by
K. Kato. 1 Prof. Bernard, with re
sponse by C. Holding, was the last
speaker. ;
The tables were arranged around
a square which was carpeted and
be-decked with palms. On. two
sides of the square were four white
columns, replicas of those at the
well. Between these columns were
banked pine trees, which com
pletely inclosed the tables, mak
ing a banquet hall of natural scene
ry". 'Along the sides of thir in
closure were stretched strings of
incandescent bulbs arranged Goth
ic effect, and on each column was
a black and gold 1918 shield. At
the north end of the hall hung a
picture of Woodrow Wilson around
which were draped the American
and State flags. Strips of gold and
black crimped paper were stretch
ed down the center of the long ta
bles. The menu cards were dainty
arrangements with the raised num
erals, 1918, on the front.
The committee on arrangements
was composed of Hermas Stephen
son, chairman ; Miss Carson, J. B.
Linker, Victor Bryant and W. R.
Wunsch.

The last chair was placed
aboard, the ropes tightened and
the big truck pulled away from
the curb and moved slowly down
Franklin avenue toward Durham.
The small crowd which was wait
ing on the late mail stood sorrow
fully around and watched the pro
ceedings with heavy heart. As the
truck, ladened with old familiar
pieces of furniture, moved away,
each man in the crowd heaved a
painful sigh and turned and went
"to his long home."
That truck was bearing away
the last earthly vestige of Nick's
Emporium of Good Eats. The
place is closed and as you view it
from the street it looks as if it had
fallen victim to a German air raid.
The long marbled-top counter is
gone, the mirrors with their allur
ing markings "Hot Weinies and
Pickled Pig Feet", are lost relics
of the past, the electric piano, with
its almost ceaseless grind of "Pret

forever. The sweet aroma of on

pleasant sound of sizzling sausages
will be heard no more. Never
again will you hear the greeting,

SPECIALIZED FIGHTING IS
BEING TAUGHT TO GROUPS
MR. HILL GIVES 2 FLAGS TO BAT
TALION CO'S BAND C WON
IN DRILLING
Following the return of warm
weather, the battalion has taken
up its various kinds of work with
a spirit that bodes ill to the wary
Boche. The different courses have
begun and Captain Allen thinks
that it will take four weeks to fin
ish them. Every man will be put
through the engineering, bombing
and bayonet-fighting courses, and
a little signalling will be given
also. The musketry course has
only gotten so far now as the parts
of the rifle. But as soon as every
man has qualified in musketry and
made his triangle of error, firing
on the range will begin.
During the past week Mr. Ilick
erson has been teaching prospec
tive military engineers the way to
tie the knots which are used in
bridge-building. The bombing and
boyonet-fighting have progressed
under Captain Allen, and soon
blood thirsty young sammies will
be charging down Emerson Field
with bayonets fixed' in a way to
make a Hun wish himself a whole
company. Captain Allen has also
taught the positions used in bomb
ing. Bean-bags, or something like
them, will be used as bombs.
The battalion now owns four
flags, as a British and a French
flag have been presented by Mr.
John Sprunt Hill, of Durham.
Competitive drill will take place
soon for the possession of the flags.
The probable outcome may be pre
dicted from short drills on Mon
day when B company defeated A
company by one point ; Mr. niek

TAR HEELS TAKE CLOSE
GAME FROM ELON FIVE
VISITORS PUT UP GOOD FIGHT
CAROLINA NOT UP TO
USUAL FORM
A SPURT WINS IN SECOND HALF
A victory of 29-25 over Elon.
College last Monday night put the
Carolina basketball team -within,
good striking distance of the
Southern championship honors.
The game was a good fight from
start to finish. The Carolina pi
vot man, Liipfert, obtained the
tip-off over Stevens every time,
but this advantage was more than
offset by the . pretty floor work of.
the visiting center. Stevens was
easily the star of the game, show
ing himself a master of the side
step and dribble. ' Liipfert played
a pretty covering game against
him, though his passing was not as
good. r ... ,
The defense put up by the two
Elon guards was the prettiest that
has been seen here this season.
Carolina often worked the ball
down the. floor Until within some
twenty-five feet of the basket, but
the visiting guards invariably
broke up the play by close, cover
ing. Consequently, the. home for
wards obtained . few short shots.;.
The closeness of the game is indi
cated by the score throughout.'. the,
whole game. There was seldom,
over , two points difference j.n , the
score. The first half ended .,10.-0
in favor of Carolina, ,.,. -,..,7
In the, last, half ; Elon : imade,,' a,,
spurt that put her foutf points in,
the lead..,,. The score remained thus,
up, until the last few minutes' pf
play, Then the Carolina team
seemed to. really wake up and find
itself,: in it? old time form. Fast
passingnettcd. the home, boys six
points in rapid succession. Lynch
sent the last goal through the net
just as the whistle blew.- ; ,
Carmichael played best for Car
olina, getting seven field goals.
The whole University quint ;tvas
suffering from the after effects, of
the hard Georgia game ',of , the
week before, and it did not play
true to form. Cuthbertson played
a good game at guard ; both he and
Tennent are still suffering from
"charley horses." ; ,r-
