LrS fSJ The El OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXIX. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 Number 17 HE tm FIRST YEAR WARRIORS TO MEET VIRGINIANS TOMORROW AFTERNOON VA. FRESHMEN HAVE SHOWN UP WELL AGAINST PREP SCHOOLS FRESHMEN MUST FIGHT TO WIN Three days of hard, driving prac tice this week has prepared Knox Proctor's freshman team for the bat tle tomorrow on Emerson Field with the ancient rivals from Virginia, the first year team of that institution. The Carolina crew is in good shape, believes Coach Proctor, and although the record of the team so far has been disappointing to say the least, the eleven goes into the fray in better shape tomorrow than in any former encounter, and the chances of victory are large and encouraging. The freshmen played real football in the game last Saturday with the North Carolina State Freshmen up to the second half, and the victory over the Raleigh school boys was de cisive and earned. In the closing stages of the game, just as. they have done in every game played so far this season, the eleven weakened and played loose and ineffective. It is simply whether or not the team can keep its punch throughout the game tomorrow, and play as hard in the second half 83 they always do in the first, if victory is to be considered. The team has the material, the plays, the fight, and the ability if they will put all into the game that they are capable of doing. Virginia is going to send down a freshman team that is typical of their freshman teams every year, compos ed of prep school .stars traineu by coaches at Fishburne, Woodberry, Episcopal High, and others of those spirited schools that lie around the Virginia University. Although they suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Staunton Military Academy, they have registered several victories over other worthy foes, among tham Wood berry and Fishburne. The game tomorrow will be at tended with the enthusiasm of a var sity contest, for it is expected that it will be a, real fight. Lf.st year the Virginians won by a healthy margin, but the chances for victory for Caro lina this year are much larger. Coach Proctor has not yet announced the team that will take the field at the opening of the contest, but it will be pretty much the same line-up that battled State freshmen last Saturday. N. M. JEARNIGAN ADDRESSES NORTH CAROLINA CLUB MEET INDUSTRIAL NORTH CAROLINA IS SUBJECT OF SPEAKER'S TALK "Industrial North Carolina" was discussed by N. M. Jernigan at a meeting of the North Carolina Club held on Monday night Nov. 15th. Dr. Howard W. Odom, Kenan Pro fessor of Public Welfare, presided and after the reading led the open dis cussion. The discussion brought out several significant facts. There are several problems facing our industries: The growth of strikes and the influence of labor unions, the tendency of the wealth of the state to be concentrated in the hands of a few. In 1850 the total capital invested in industry in the itate was a little over seven million dollars, while in 1914 it had increased to over $243, 000,000. In 1850 there were a little over two thousand industries in the state while in 1914 there were over four thousand. In 1914 we produced over 200,000, 000 pounds of tobacco and imported R0OO,000 worth, all of which was used in our own factories. We have the problem to face of the conservation of our state's natural re sources. The manufacturing of North Caro lina is distributed over a great num ber of small corporations which tend to keep the wealth or the state evenly distributed which is quite a contrast (Continued on page four) CANDIDATES TURN OUT FOR FIRST BASKETBALL TRYOUT FIVE MEN FROM LAST YEAR'S VARSITY SQUAD ARE OUT About twenty candidates reported Monday night for the first basket ball practice, and went through an hour's workout in the fundamentals, doing little more than goal shooting and passing the ball. Major Boye, Head Coach of varsity basketball last year and who will have charge of the squad again this year was unable to be present at the initial workout on account of sickness, but will report out with the squad in a few days. This early squad has been practic ing regularly every night since Mon day, and look likely enough for so early in the season. Many of the men now out for football will report after Thanksgiving, and will greatly strengthen the squad, since some of the best men are now working on the gridiron. Among these are Liipfert, letter man of last year, McDonald, freshman star last season, Hanby, captain of last year's freshman team, and Woodall, Griffith, Lewis, on last year's varsity squad. Douglas, Erwin, Anderson, Rourk, Morris, all of whom played pretty much of the time on the varsity last year with the exception of Anderson, who is a Trinity letter man, are now working out. Among the new candi dates for the varsity are Carmichael, Moore, Williams, Corbett, and Eaton, on the freshman squad last year. Captain Shepherd of this year's team has had charge of the squad, owing to Coach Boye's absence, and has been directing the practices this week. Manager Person has not yet completed the schedule for the team but states that it promises to be one of the hardest that a Southern team has ever had. There will probably be a few games before Christmas but most likely Y. M. C. A. games, ac cording to the manager. TRAGIC WORLD IN HAMLET THEME OF KOCH'S LECTURE PROFESSOR KOCH TALKS TO SOPHOMORES ON SHAKES PEAREAN TRAGEDIES For the benefit of English III, a class making a study of several Shakespeare plays, Professor Koch, of the Department of Dramatic Liter ature, spoke in Gerrard Hall Wednes day night, using as his subject, "The Tragic World in Hamlet." Besides making a general talk on the social aspect of Shakespearean tragedies Professor Koch held his audience of English III students with a gripping, stirring and remarkable reading of the court and closet scenes of Hamlet. He paid a high tribute to Shakes peare and described his tragedies as the embodiment of perfection. In this respect he answered many argu ments advanced against the Shakes perean tragedy, showing that in all these plays in the end there is "a revaluation, a restoration." . MARY D. WRIGHT MEMORIAL DEBATE TO BE HELD SOON Recently . a committee appointed from the Phi Society met and decided upon the following query for the Mary D. Wright Memorial debate: "Resolved, That the nolicv of the United States in requiring its ships to pay Panama Canal tolls be main- tained." As the Phi Society had the ! privilege of selecting the query, the j Uialectic bociety had its choice of sides, and chose the affirmative side of the query. This debate, which was instituted last year, is an annual affair. This year it will be held December 4 in Gerrard Hall. The best speaker on the winning side will be awarded the Mary D. Wright Memorial medal. The question of the direct primary was first intended for use in the de bate this year, but it was discarded and the Panama Canal question was adopted. The Dialectic Society will hold its preliminary November 22, and the date for the Philanthropic preliminary will be announced later. President Chase was called away from the University Mon day by the death of his father, Charles Merril Chase, of Georgetown, Mass. : STUDENT AUDIENCE PLEASED BY CONCERT OF GLEE CLUB TAR BABY FIVE MAKES THE DIS TINCT HIT OF PRO GRAMME The Carolina Musical Clubs render ed a delightful program in Gerrard Hall Saturday night before a good sized audience of students and towns people. The program was the same that the organization is using on its fall trip which opened with a per formance in Charlotte Tuesday night. The far-famed "Tar. Baby Five," perhaps received the ; greatest storm of applause. This jazzy little orches tra composed of Billie Powell on the mandolin, Ernest Thompson on tne piano, Harold Ross at the traps, and Jean Shaw on a ragged saxaphone, was the hit of the evening in the in terpretations of their own creations, "Symphonia Syncopations" and "Stud ies in Polyphony." ' Other numbers of pleasure were the several melodies so delightfully sung by Charlie Nichols, a bass solo, "Rolling Down the R'o" by Legrande Everett, and the selections rendered by the regular orchestra and mando lin club of the organization. Critics proclaim the Glee Club to be the best in several seasons, their program being unusually well bal anced, full of what Glee Club audi ences want and expect, and thorough ly up to date in every respect. HALF OF TRINITY STUDENTS TAKE GRATS ARMISTICE DAY THOSE WHO TOOK HOLIDAY HAVE HARD LIFE FROM NOW ON Durham, Nov. 16. More than half the members of the student body of Trinity college are to be "firmly dealt with" by the officials of the institu tion as a result of an organized "cut ting of classes" on Thursday, Nov ember 1th (Armistice day), Dean W. H. Wannamaker announced to day. Reports that there will be a wholesale expulsion of students were emphatically denied by the dean, who stated that there are not more than four students known as the ringleaders of the Armistice day trouble that are considered for ex pulsion. As yet no students have been shipped. As a means of asserting discipline the college officials have inaugurated a plan whereby the members of the freshman class of the college who participated in the organized move ment to skip classes, must pass four of their five regular courses of study to remain in school. The upper classmen must pass five out of five courses of study to gain promotion. No student who participated in the demonstration for an extra holiday can be absent from classes unless it is physically impossible for him to attend. The usual petty excuse will not be tolerated for the remainder of the term. No student included in the list, failing to make passmarks for current work will be allowed to participate in any form of public ap pearance, such as athletics, literary and musical performances. The system inaugurated tn no way applies to the students who did not skip classes. They will be allowed to continue their studies as hereto fore. The dean states that only about seven girls and boys of the senior class had any part in the af fair. Since the trouble occurred last Thursday the dean has had each participant, numbering about 240 "on the carpet." Very few of the students, he said, were found to have had an idea of really starting trou ble. Many of them, he said, have openly expressed regret over the af fair and some of the ringleaders have asked for an opportunity to apologize to the faculty and student body. VARSITY SQUAD PRACTICES FOR THANKSGIVING CLASSIC TEAM ALL SET TO THROW OFF THE SEASON'S JINX Undaunted by the defeat adminis tered them by Davidson last Satur day at Winston-Salem, the varsity football squad is out again on the field, practicing with a renewal vigor and punch in an" effort to whip into top-top shape for the annual Thanks giving clash with Virginia, which will take place in Charlottesville this year. Bad weather prevented the squad from taking the field Tuesday but Coach Fuller was not so sorry of the weather s inclemency and took ad vantage of the day by giving the squad an indoor blackboard drill out lining the Virginia plays and forma tions. Wednesday the team took the field for the first time since the Dav idson contest and went through a light, snappy, signal drill. Since that time the plays of Virginia have been practiced, and the squad is working as it has never worked before in prep aration for the season's biggest game. The record of the Carolinians so far this season has been decidedly disappointing. Our two victories have been won by small scores and some of our defeats have been rather humiliating. What the team has ap parently lacked is speed and the final punch. But the team has been fol lowed by a jinx, unusual in its per sistency, and everybody believes that the old stuff lies in the eleven and is bound to come out. Since the season began the breaks of the game have played against the Blue and White, and in most of the games a crippled team has been forced to play. In juries have been frequent which has necessitated changing the line-up so many times that the team has not found itself in an ability .to play to gether.

OUTSIDERS SHALL NOT ATTEND FALL DANCES GERMAN CLUB DECREES GERMAN CLUB EXPRESSES ITS DISAPPROVAL OF RIDING AFTER DANCES CARD DANCES IN VOGUE AGAIN Due to the greatly increased num ber of students, and to the limited j space in Bynum Gymnasium, the fall dances this year will be restricted ex ' clusively to students, alumni, and fac ulty of the University and their part ners. This drastic ruling which is in cluded in the regulations for the dan ces just made public, is necessitated by the overcrowded conditions exist ing at the recent dances which so de tracted from the enjoyment of all present. The second and third of December are the dates chosen for the coming dances. The Gorgon's Head dance takes place on the second, while the Gimghoul affair is in the afternoon, and the Fall German on the evening of the second. The complete text of ths governing regulations as drawn up by the representative committee appears below: REGULATIONS FOR THE FALL GERMAN OF THE UNIVER SITY OF NORTH CARO LINA GERMAN CLUB Due to the limited capacity of By num Gymnasium and the increased number of students attending the University dances, the Committee on Regulations of the German Club, has deemed it necessarv to restrict the dancers at the Fall German to the students, alumni and faculty of the University and their partners. Ihis step has been taken with deep est regret, as the Regulation Coinmit tee " thoroughly anDreciate-) the fsct that there are numerous students of other educational institutions and people of towns, throughout the state, who under ordinary circumstances should be invited to the Carolina dances. The overcrowded conditions at re cent dances, however, have so de tracted from the enjoyment of all present, that the matter of some re striction as to the number of visitors, has been unanimously recognized as an absolute necessity.
