BASKETBALL QUINT
TAKES OPENING GAME
IN DURHAM TUESDAY
CAROLINA TOSSERS EASILY WIN
FROM DURHAM Y.M.C.A. BY
22-16 SCORE
CAROLINA SHOWS GOOD FORM
Opening up the 1920-'21 basketball
season the Carolina quintet defeated
the Durham Y. M. C. A. five by the
score of 22 to 16 Tuesday night in
Durham. Handicapped by so late a
start and with several of the most
likely candidates ineligible till after
Christmas the victory for Carolina
came as a surprise to many.
Carolina took the lead early in the
contest and held it throughout. At
the end of the first half the score
was 9 to 7 in favor of the Blue and
White aggregation, and the quintet
jumped into the second half with re
newed vigor to hold the lead and in
crease it if possible.
There were a jiumber of personal
fouls, both teams indicating early sea
son form, but both teams played re
markably well considering the short
time they have practiced. The shoot
ing was at times erratic and the pass
ing was not of mid season variety
but the team played pretty well to
gether and was at all times confident
of victory over the Durham boys.
Liipfert at center, Captain Shep
herd and MacDonald, and Rourk and
Erwin guards, composed the team,
and all showed up well. A number
of substitutes were carried on the
trip by Coach Boye but the first team
held their own so exceedingly well
that the extra men were not needed.
The line up:
Carolina Durham Y.
MacDonald - Perry

DR. DAGGETT LISTENS IN ON
WIRELESS TELEPHONE TESTS
PROFESSOR AND STUDENTS HEAR
PHONOGRAPH PLAYED IN
CURACAO
On Thanksgiving night a very in
teresting message was picked up on
the wireless telephone by Prof. Dag
gett and two assistants in Phillips
Hall. The message picked up was
from the steamer Broad Arrow of the
Savannah line, which was trying to
communicate byv wireless telephone
with a wireless station at Curacao in
the West Indies. A wireless telephone
test was being conducted by the steam
boat officials in co-operation with radio
station officials at Curacao in the West
Indies. The steamer was located 100
miles from N. Y., on the way from
Savannah to New York City. "Whose
Baby Are You On the Midnight Boat,"
Played on a victrola on the steamer
was distinctly heard by the operators
at Phillips Hall. The station at
Curacao was coming back with a tel
egraph message, not having a wireless
telephone apparatus. "We want to get
this test finished," shouted an operator
on the steamer, "Please let us know if
you hear us." The message shot back
by the radio station at Curacao was
abundant proof of the success of the
test. Electrical officials predict that
the near future students will be
able to send their pictures to their
girls by wireless telephone.
At a smoker of the Gaston County
club Friday night arrangements were
jnade for an elaborate banquet to be
held during the christmas holidays.
The banquet will be a student-alumni
affair and will be held in Gastonia.
Professor M. C. S. Noble has been
secured as the principal speaker of
the occasion.
SENIORS HOLD THIRD
SMOKER OF THE YEAR
AT THE INN TONIGHT
CLASS IS SHOWING VALUE OF
FREQUENT GET-TOGETHER
MEETINGS
ALL PLEDGE HEARTY SUPPORT
To-night the Senior Class holds its
third smoker of the year. This year
has marked a great stride in regards
unity of factions in the class. Through
the whole of last year it was the policy
of the class of '21 to bring fraternity
and non-fraternity men together. This
policy has been continued this year and
for the first time in the 127 years of
this University's history a class
smoker was held in a fraternity hall.
The second smoker likewise was held
in a fraternity home. This goes to
show that the Seniors believe in each
other and are friends as Seniors and
as men and not as groups and fac
tions. Tonight, the third smoker, which
will be held in the Inn, is for the pur
pose of just a little reminder that we
must not forget the University dur
ing the holidays and that we continue
our upward unified task of giving the
Freshman the facts about our life
here, and helping them out in their
difficulties, of pushing still on the
cause of the University in its legisla
tive campaign, and of the many other
things that grow out of a body like
this. The class believes in getting
together, the members believe in each
other, and most of all they believe in
the University. Split Carolina for

BRITISH STUDENTS SHANGHAI
AMERICAN PROHIBITION AGENT
WARNER KIDNAPPED BY SHEF
FIELD UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
TO PREVENT SPEECH
Harry S. Warner, Education Secre
tary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition
Association, was carried by a bunch
of students out of the University of
Sheffield, England, so that he might
not give his address there. The vic
tim was not hurt in the least and was
none the worse for his experience.
When Mr. Warner entered the build
ing in which he was to give his ad
dress, he noted an ambulance at the
door. Just as the meeting had been
called to order, the lights went off,
and the crowd rushed the chairman
and both Mr. Warner and another
speaker. The three tried to stay to
gether but it was impossible. The
American leader was shoved down the
stairsand into the ambulance. After
the vehicle was on its way and Mr.
Warner well guarded, he was allowed
to make himself comfortable.
After driving out about six miles,
they put Mr.. Warner off on the dark
lonely road. The "army deportation"
was ended. However the boys pointed
out some lights about fifteen minutes'
walk away, and told him that there he
would be able to get a bus to the city
limits where he would be able to get
a car to his hotel. They then returned
by another route. When Mr. Warner
got back, of course it was too late for
his meeting.
Mr. Warner's good sportsmanship
over the "ragging" made for him
many friends, and the incident was
given wide publicity in all British
papers.

"PEANUT ATHLETE"
By Beemer C. Harnell
The success, or failure of our foot
ball team has been discussed a great
deal lately. From all that I can learn
no one has offered any solution to pur
probem in athletics, or made any pro
gressive move. Therefore, what I have
to say is by way of discussion and not
criticism. Let us look at the facts:
This year V. M. I. and Davidson
beat us. Both of these represent
small colleges, and should not have
the wealth of material that we have.
They certainy do not spend the money
for coaches and equipment that we do.
In fact, the coaches at both of these
institutions have never coached at
other colleges. They've made their
reputations at these two schools. Now
how is it that these colleges do have
teams that are superior to purs? I'm
not sure that I can answer that, but
this is evident to those who have a
line on the University football ma
terial. In college there are seven men
that have reputations as football
players superior to any seven men
on our varsity team today. Other
than those, four more men, with good
Drep school records behind them, can
be picked that will finish out a team
that under the same coaching and
training that our varsity receives will
make a better team. Now I'm sure
that if this material were at Davidson
or V. M. I. it would be utilized. The
University simply hasn't called this
team into action or perhaps better,
this team has not been called into
play. Why? Has football been
sufficiently attractive? Has ability
in athletics been properly recognized
here? Are too many letters awarded
or too few by the athletic council?
What is the athletic council? It is
an organized body of men selected
from faculty and students ( whose duty
it is to consider the recommendations
for the monograms from the coach
and captain of each team. It is com
LARGE TURNOUT OF MATERIAL
FOR FRESHMAN BASKETBALL
BILLY CARMICHAEL TO COACH
THIS YEAR'S FRESHMAN
TEAM
Nearly seventy-five candidates re
ported Monday night for the first
freshman basketball practice, and
since that time this large squad has
been undergoing a nightly work out
in the gymnasium. William C. Car
michael, who has been elected to coach
the freshman quintet this season, has
been sending the men through a gen
eral review of the fundamentals in
passing and goal shooting, and no
attempt has been made yet to cut
down the squad.
The coach for the freshman team
this year is a three year letter man
at Carolina, last year piloting the var
sity. His best year was the season of
1918-'19, when his clever and accurate
goal shooting was the feature of the
season for the Carolina team. Last
season he did not play the brand of
the ball that characterized his game
the two previous seasons, but' his play
ing was steady, consistent, and hard,
and he made a highly successful cap
tain. "Billy" Carmichael is exceed
ingly well qualified to coach the fresh
man team this year, and success at his
hands is predicted.
Manager William Transou of the
freshman team has not completed all
the arrangements for a schedule and
so has made no announcement regard
ing it. A number of good games, how
ever, is promised for the first year
men. No games will be played before
Christmas, the first freshman con
tests to occur shortly after the holi
days. O'CLOCK
posed of the managers of ajl the teams
(including Freshman teams) the
Graduate Manager, the edjtor of the
Tar Heel, a representative from the
student body, the President of the As
sociation, a faculty representative, and
usually a few others who have no
official capacity, but who do vote.
Now on this Council you have a
majority of men who know nothing of
the fundamentals of the three major
sports, much less being able to rec
ognize ability in any one of these
lines.
Again by what criterion is the N. C.
awarded ? Does it represent Athletic
ability? If so, I'll draw this anology.
A man works four years in foot-ball
but he doesn't quite fulfil the re
quirements for the monogram and he
doesn't get it. The manager puts in
"his time" and he gets it whether he
deserves it or not.
Now why do managers continue to
be awarded the monograms? . The an
swer is this: The managers on the
council are in the majority and conse
quently vote themselves letters each
year. They should be recognized for
their work, but more appropriately.
There is a group of men in college
whom we may term as "peanut ath
letes." These men have grown so pro
ficient in athletics that they can go
out in large numbers every afternoon
and give their expert opinion from the
grandstand. This group of men claim
that they do not have the time to go
out for the team themselves...-
The "peanut athletes" are looking
for results. If the man on the field
doesn't come up to their standards, or
if the varsity isn't victorious in every
game, they are ready to criticize the
indivduals, and the coachng system.
What good is the backing of the stu.
dent body if it expresses itself only to
the winning team and breaks down to
the unsuccessful team. We hear a
great deal of talk about good sports

LARGE AUDIENCE IS PLEASED
BY RECITAL OF HELEN PUGH
YOUNG PIANIST SHOWS REMARK
ABLE SKILL IN RENDITION
OF PROGRAM
A comfortable audience made up
principally of townspeople heard the
delightful piano recital of Miss Helen
Pugh, of Asheville, at the High School
Monday night. The recital was given
under the auspices of the Junior
Music Club, of Chapel Hill.
Helen Pugh who is only twelve
years old easily fulfilled the promise
of a musical prodigy. The quality of
Miss Pugh's paying is seldom heard
from an adult, being characterized by
maturity of interpretation combined
with an utter absence of affectation or
self -consciousness.
The selectinos of her programe
were of great variety and difficulty
and yet all of them were rendered
with a skill and a depth of musical
feeling that one scarcely thinks of
her as a child but as a matured and
finished artist. The program follows:
Part I
Danse Villageoise Boely
Andante, with variations, in F minor
Haydn
Prelude,
from "Holberg Suite"
Grieg
Rigaudon
Minuetto, in B minor Schubert
Etude, Op. 25, No. 9 Chopin

TONIGHT AT THE INN
SOPHOMORE MACHINE
IN FINAL GAME TAKE
CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP
BLOODY SOPHOMORES TAKE VIC
TORY FROM SENIORS BY
6-5 SCORE
SINGLE SCORE FOLLOWS PUNT
Playing the last game of football
to take place on Emerson field this
season, and closing the class gridiron
season, the Sophomores defeated the
Seniors by the score of 6-0 Monday
afternoon, which feat gave the class
of '23 the coveted championship. The
game concluded a series of games
characterized by the keenest and most
hostile rivalry between the several
classes, and not until the whistle blew
for the end of this crucial contest
was it decided who should carry away
the 1921 honors.
The Sophomores showed slightly
better team work and better individual
playing throughout the contest, and
well deserved the victory won, though
the Senior eleven went into the game
slightly the favorite. Several demons
in the line on the defense and one or
two batting rams in the backfield on
the Sophomore team proved the un
doing of the Seniors and caused the
score to turn out as it did. Mathewson
and Ingstram were decidedly the de
fensive stars of the game, continually
breaking up play after play, and
fighting with the do or die spirit, and
Morris and Green did their share on
the offense for the under classmen.
For the Seniors Robbins showed
flashes of great form and Reeves got
away with a few pretty plays.
Though the Sophomore eleven clear
ly outplayed their older opponents the
lone touchdown that was the margin
of their victory came as a result of a
piece of luck and bore a distinctly
freakish nature. The Sophomores had
punted across the Senior goal line, and
the ball rolled free, Mathewson faling
on it when it was shrieked that it had
been touched by a Senior. The referee
ruled that it had been touched and the
touchdown was considered legal and
proved the only score of the contest.
The score came in the first half,
after the two teams had battled up
