ENTER THE GRAND OLD GAME LET'S GET BEHIND THE TEAM !! 21 211w4 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVII. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FEBRUARY 28, 1 91 9 Number! 18 CAROLINA LOSES HARD FOUGHT GAME TO UNOF VIRGINIA CHARLOTTESVILLE BOYS NOSE OUT VICTORY IN RALEIGH IN LAST HALF 31-21 FOR AULD LANG SYNE Team Fought Gamely Throughout Contest; Worn Out in the Last Half It was not without the toughest sort of scrap that Carolina's ancient rival, Virginia, finally nosed out the vic tory in the last half of the game in Raleigh Thursday night. The result at the end of the second half was 31-21, with Virginia holding down the biggest end of the score. , Carolina started off with a rush and her suporters were confident of vic tory. It looked like the Tar Heels were going to avenge their former de feat in good measure. . Carmichael was caging them right and left, and Lynch was ably assisting him at for ward. Both of them accomplished many difficult shots. Carolina's guards were working well, also, and Liipfert, at center, was playing as us ual his same steady game. It was thus that things stood at the end of the first half. The score stood 14-14, and Carolina supporters were confi dent of success. And then in the second half the team met with a decided reverse. Vir ginia came back strong and succeeded in keeping the ball in their terri tory the majority of the time. Caro lina made mady new spurts, but seemed unable to gain the offensive. Virginia's shooting was very bad throughout the game and she seemed to be unable to locate the hoop in sev eral seemingly easy shots. In foul goal shooting, however, she was ex ceptionally good, and piled up several tallies on account of Carolina's foul ing. Captain "Rainey" Cuthbertson wa3 unable to be in the game, as the in jury he received on the northern trip, when he suffered a sprained knee in the game with V. P. I., had not re covered sufficiently to allow him to play. Brown, taking Cuthbertson's place, played a good consistent game thruout. Although the whole team did good work, the playing of Billy Carmichael was exceptionally good and his work was perhaps the feature of the game. The old-time pep was felt every where. The train load of rooters among the students, the student body from St. Mary's and from Peace, and the seniors from Meredith, together with an aggregation of State College men, gave forth quite a "racket," and though there were quite a number of purple and gold colors among the fair sex, the old blue and white was the almost universal favorite. Yank Tandy was at the game and helped "Scrubby" Reeves to get the crowd full of "the old-time pep." Although disappointed at the outcome of the contest, which we had high hopes of winning, everyone is pleased with the manly way in which Carolina met her honorable foe, and the way in which the whole affair was carried out, and they anxiously await the opening of the baseball season when we are then (Continued on Page 4) National Association Men Address Cabinet The Y. M. C. A. has been exceed ingly fortunate this week in having as its guests three of the greatest Christian workers of the country. These three great "Y" men Dr. Hounsel, of the National Y. M. C. A. Association, Dr. Jackson, of the State Association, and Dr. Mumpower, a recently returned missionary from Africa have aided the local associa tion greatly during their stay here by offering plans and giving many needed suggestions. Dr. Mumpower addressed the Y. M. C A. at its regular meeting last Wed nesday night on missionary work, es pecially in Africa, where he has re cently been laboring as a missionary surgeon. Dr. Mumpower told of the great fascinations which Africa gives to all missionary students. How, in spite of the savagery of the natives and the dangers of the country, the missionaries are glad to give service there. There are three great religious di visions of Africa the North, which is Mohammedon, the Central, which js pagan, and the Southern, which is mostly Christian. The territory in which Dr. Mumpower has been doing "is wonderful work is. in the Central, or pagan district. This district is (Continued on Page 4) Class Basketbvll Teams Scrap Hard for Laurels of Victgry in Series Class basketball at Carolina has at last gotten under way, under the di rection of Bob Wunsch and Webb Durham. In the preliminary contests last week all four teams appeared to be about evenly matched and a hard struggle is anticipated before fhe champion team is picked. In the first championship games Thursday night the Freshmen defeat ed the Sophomores 12 to 1 4, and the seniors defeated the Juniors, 16 to 5. On Friday night the Sophs were vic torious over the Seniors, while the Juniors won from the Freshmen. At present the four teams have- the same percentage of games won and lost. Owing to the gym's being used by the varsity this week, the class contests will be resumed next Monday, when the Seniors will play the Freshmen, and the Juniors the Sophs. , Captains of the four class teams have been elected as follows: Andrews, from the Seniors; Stone, from the Juniors; Cummings, from the Sopho mores; and Transon, from the Fresh men. In case two teams are tied at the end of six games, they will play for the .championship. From the class teams an all-star class team will be chosen, which will play the varsity scrubs. A great deal of interest is being manifested on the campus in the outcome of the games. Dr. L. A. Williams left Friday, Feb ruary 21, for Chicago, where he will represent the University at a meeting of the National Education Associa tion which convened the first of this week. Dr. Williams will address the association in the form of a report on training for supervisors and superin tendents of public schools. Raby Tennant, of football fame, was on the Hill Wednesday. Extension Bhreau Will Inaugurate New Policy The University Extension Bureau will inaugurate the new Dolicv of ad ding temporary lectures to its exten- J sion service when (Jharies zueoeiin will arrive the second-week in April to begin a series of lectures under the auspices of the University Ex tension Service. Mr. Zuebelin, a man whose reputation as a speaker is na tion wide, will deliver lectures at the University and in four extension cen ters in April. Professor Branson recently was the extension lecturer to a large com munity audience in Kinston. The oc casion was made a kind of civic fes tival, with a band and representative citizens seated on the platform with Professor Branson. A glowing tri bute was paid to the extension work by a minister of one of the Kinston churches. Plans are being made in Goldsboro to greet University speak ers in a similar manner. Dr. Green law recently gave two lectures there, one to the whites and one to the col ored population. Dr. Jackson's lecture at Winston Salem on citizenship was enthusias tinnllv rpppived.

The same lec ture will be delivered by Professor Koch before the Men's Club at Rocky Mount on February 24 as well as in Kinston and Goldsboro at an early date. An extension center will be estab lished in Salisbury immediately, the initial lecture being presented March 9 by Dr. Chase, Professors Green law and Branson, as well as Mr. Zuebelin will appear soon upon the program as lectures to apear in that city.

Reparation, Sayeth Conference ' The Peace Conference in English 21 adopted on Wednesday morning the following principle on which in demnity claims against Germany shall be based: "Germany shall pay no in demnities, but shall make compensa tion for all damages to civilian popu lation and property by land, by sea, and by air." This was adopted after a good many hours of speech-making, debate, and stormy discussion. Va rious principles were advocated. The debate finally narrowed it down to two: first, "Reparation for destruc tion to civilian life and property only"; second, "Reparation, plus in demnities to cover military cost of war to the Allies." The first prin ciple was finally adopted in the form given above. The next thing before the Confer ence was the Balkan situation, which was set forth in a series of exhaustive papers by the Balkan delegates on Thursday and Friday mornings. Next week the Conference will discuss these questions and try to reach a definite settlement of the points of fered by the Balkan delegates. Final settlement of the policy of the Con ference in regard to Russia will also be made next week. Zeta Psi Gives Dance The Upsilon Chapter of the Zeta Psi Fraternity was host to a dance given in its hall here last night, which was a largely attended and enjoyable affair. The following la dies were, present: Miss Ruth Old ham, of Raleigh; Miss Selma Carson, of St. Mary's, Raleigh; Miss Caroline McRae, of Winston-Salem; Miss Bes sie Folk, of Raleigh; Miss Elizabeth Stephenson, of Washington, D. C; Miss Gladys McEachern, of Wilming ton; and Miss Dorothy Foltz, Eliza beth Taylor, Virginia McFaydgen, Mary Amburgay, Frances MJcKenzie, Mary Patterson, and Ethel Temple, of Chapel Hill. Other out-of-town at tendants included Emmett Robinson, of Goldsboro; Dougald McMillan, of Wilmington, and Lieut. H. V. Wilson, Jr., of Camp Lee, Va. Dr. and Mrs. T. J. Wilson, Jr., and Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Patterson were the chaperones. Local Red Cross Active The Chapel Hill Chapter of the Red Cross, which is occupying the rooms of the old University Inn, has, since the closing of hostilities in Europe, devoted itself entirely to mak ing clothes for Belgian children. A campaign has been begun recently to obtain a nurse to supervise the gen eral health of the community. This campaign has been started all over the country and the Chapel Hill branch has fallen in line. The duty of this nurse would be to look after the general cleanliness of the town, to report all cases for chari ty work, take care of all emergency cases, and to teach public health an hour or so a day in the public school. She would teach in the lower rades She would teach in the lower grades at first and then gradually extend her scope of work to the whole school. Coeds Program Extensive The Women's Asssociation here, al though it has few members than al most any other organization on the Hill, has, perhaps, the most for reach ing activities. In the fall it was oc cupied with problems here on the campus, lending willing hands to the Y. M. C. A. in its efforts to make life happy for the S. A. T. C, and to the Infirmary in combating the influ enza. During the winter its efforts were united in working for our armies in France. The results of this effort was numberless warm sweaters and other garments and a generous con tribution to the United War Work Fund. With the signs of coming spring the spirit of adventure- rose in them and they decided not to con fine their activities to campus and country but to let them become in ternational. This desire materialized with the adoption of five Belgian ba bies for a year and the making of layettes for them. Money will be sent from the organization thru the Red Cross for their support. A recent number of the American Magazine of Art contains an article by Professor Koch on Co-operative Playmaking. It treats especially of the costumes and make-up of the amateur players and is illustrated with photographs of plays and pa geants of the Dakota Playmakers.

These men feeling the need of such a course, and agreeing with Profes sor Jackson when he quoted from a book which he said, "was very little known", decided to study the Bible in a systematic way. Dr. Moss was secured to conduct this class. Their plan is to make a trip thru the Bible, starting with the very beginning and following movements rather than just sticking to the text. They are trying to apply the Old Testament to every day life and experience. So each Sun day night a group of representative college men meet and real, live dis cussions ensue. Any man in college who would like to connect himself to just such a group is welcomed at these meetings, which start at 8:30 P. M. and never last longer than one hour. "ON TO RALEIGH" BE COMES THE OFFICIAL SLOGANAT MEETING STUDENTS GATHER EN MASSE TO CHEER BLUE AND WHITE QUINT TEAM IN GRFAT SHAPE FOR FRAY Cuthbertson, Hodges, and Bynum Give Short, Snappy Talks; Yells Rehearsed Monday morning during the regu lar Chapel period an old time "pep" meeting was held. Seniors, if thev ever knew what dignity was, forgot it for the time being. Freshmen showed they had gotten Carolina in their bones despite S. A. T. C, snow balls, etc. Juniors came along be cause they still feel the need of Cha pel. And Sophs Oh! well, being bloody they usually have the "pep." What all this-preamble means is: ev erybody was present, and they all had the pep. The meeting was two-fold: First, a welcome to the Blue and White quint who marched thru Virginia "kinder like" Sherman marched thru Georgia; second, "On to Raleigh" just as "On to Richmond" in the years before. The mass meeting was turn ed over to Captain formerly Lieuten ant Cuthbertson, who spoke briefly of the trip thru Virginia. "Carolina has got more spirit than Virginia," he said. "Why they always beat us I can't see. We showed some of the strongest quints in Virginia who's who, and if the student body stands behind us we will show Virginia something in Raleigh. We've got the spirit here, if you men will only come out of your shells and show it." "Lieut. Hodgesr who managed the team on the trip spoke next. "We have a fighting, scrappy aggregation, boys, and we've got to stay behind them. The W. and L. coach told us he would take off his hat to us, if a little bunch as we were beat that in vincible V. M. I. Well we did it 40 to 27. But we had to fight not only the team, we had to fight the entire student body. Everywhere we went we said, 'the next place can't have this much pep.' But they did. Those gyms were regular dins cf noise. Next year we are going out for the South Atlantic or even the Southern championship." "Scrub" Rives, with his usual dis play of pep, next took charge of the meeting. With "Split Carolinas" for the team and for the various indivi dual stars, and a practice of some of the less familiar yells the crowd showed they could root. Then manager Jeff Bynum laid be fore the students plans whereby a special train might be secured. Due to the fact that the government can't charter special trains at reduced rates, the straight fare will have to be charged. In order to do this it was necessary that 143 tickets be sold, and when a vote was called for near ly the entire student body stood up. the announcement that St. Marys would turn out one hundred per cent., that A. and E. was with us and Peace would be if possible, was greeted with much applause. Altho' the taking of scalps has ' somewhat gone out of style since Virginia Dare was a lass, the Carolina student body is on the war path with much blood-curdling yelping and yelling. Hamlin Garland will Lecture Here Thursday Mr. Hamlin Garland, whose work has won him fame in the literary world, will speak to a Chapel Hill audience for the first time Thursday, March 6th, in Gerrard Hall.
