0- HE 21 11) La OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXIX. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, DECEMBER 14, 1920 Number 24 CAROLINA FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR IS ANNOUNCED SCHEDULE INCOMPLETE BUT THE MORE IMPORTANT GAMES ARE THE SAME CAROLINA MAY PLAY TRINITY The football schedule recently an nounced though not fully completed, embraces virtually the same teams and dates as this year. According to the announcement the season will open with Wake Forest at Chapel Hill on October 1st. Strong feeling exists however for the inclusion of an additional game on September 24, the objection that this date is but a few days after the University opens was met by the fact that the squad goes into training some two weeks before that date, and should be in shape for the early season encounter. The Yale contest takes place, as for the past two years, at New Haven on October 8th, and the N. C. State game will be played in Raleigh on the 20th. The V. M. I. encounter is scheduled for the same relative date as last year, but there is some doubt as to its location, the Cadets having come to Chapel Hill for the past two years, and desire to transfer the contest next season either to Richmond, Norfolk, or Roanoke. Maryland State holds her place on the schedule, playing as last year upon Emerson Field. Davidson will be met on November 12th. Doubt exists as to the place of meeting however, Charlotte, who for some years has attempted to land the game, seems at present to have the best chance to secure it. Negotia tions with Trinity for a game on Sat urday before Ihanksgiwng are pend ing. Should Trinity's plans not per mit such an encounter, there is all probability that some other eleven will be taken on for that date. A tempting offer for a second north ern trip, in the guise of a mid-season contest with Princeton, could not be accepted because of the game with Yale, the Athletic Council deciding that one long trip was sufficient. CHASE IN CHAPEL TALKS ON HOLIDAYS AND EXAMINATIONS PRESIDENT WISHES STUDENTS MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAP PY NEW YEAR Dr. Chase wished "A Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year" to you all in Chapel Friday morning. In his talk he followed two lines of thought. The first was the spirit with which one ought to meet his examinations. There is a moral as well as intellectual value which each student has placed on his work this fall. If he has met the issue it will do him no harm to test the intellectual abilities and meas ures them by moral qualities. He lik ened the University to a bank, a bank deals with money and it must have a standard by which to judge its .em ployees. The University deals with students, ideals and truth and it also has a standard by which to judge its students. It used to be in college a game between faculty and students to see which could out-trick the other. But at Carolina what's fundamental ly honest is what she deals with. The second point which Dr. Chase talked about was the student's con duct while at home. He reminded the students that when they go home they are not absolved from Carolina. He is not a Carolina man for nine months, but he "is a Carolina man for 365 days every year, and 366 days in leap year." The students determine their commu nity's picture of the University of North Carolina, and every student from Carolina is looked upon as an exponent of the things that prevail on the campus. He is a Carolina man at home as well as at college. Dr. phase said that probably many were influenced to come to Carolina by ob serving the men that she has produced and it is up to each Carolina man to want people to judge him as he had judged. Each will have improved or failed, but- "If he loves her he can do her no better service than conduct himself as a true Carolina man." STATE HIGH SCHOOL MYTHICAL TEAM IS PICKED BY PROCTOR CHAPEL HILL HAS FOUR MEN . ON THE ALL-STATE TEAM MONROE IS NEXT WITH THREE An All-State high school eleven has been selected by Knox Proctor, former Carolina end, and coach of this year's Freshman squad. The selections are based principally upon the reports of the various high school coaches and athletic leaders. Proctor himself wit nessed 9 of the 19 games of the elimi nation contests.

Special attention is called to "the fighting spirit of the Wilmington team which in both the New Bern and Chapel Hill games fought up hill (Continued on page three) NO IRISH HOME RULE SAY FRESHMAN DEBATERS IN DI C. TAYLOR BECOMES NEW PRESIDENT OF DIALECTIC SOCIETY The regular quarterly election of officers and the annual intra-society freshman debate were the two fea tures of the last meeting of the Dia lectic Society. In the debate C. B. Yarley and E. H. Hartsel representing the negative won over C. M. Andrews and W. E. White, of the affirmative. The query was as follows : "Resolved, That Great Britain should grant home rule to Ire land." In presenting their aspect of the situation, the affirmative declared that conditions in Ireland demand a remedy and that England is responsi ble to a large extent for these condi tions. They followed this up with the arguments that the Irish are capable of self-government and that home rule is the only remedy. They contended that this form of government is not only right and just, but practicable and expedient. In the beginning, the egative pointed out the essential dif ference between home rule and inde pendence and they stated that Ire land now has a larger representation in Parliament than Scotland or Eng land. They contended that Ireland is divided both politically and religi ously and is not capable of self-government. Asserting that home rule is not wanted by a large part of . the Irish, they said that there is only one point on which the factions of Ireland can agree, that point being that home rule will not be accepted peacefully. The results of the election of offi cers are as follows: T. C. Taylor, president; G. B. Porter, vice-president; G. H. Leonard, secretary; C. C. Poindexter, first censor; R. E. Brown, second censor; J. D. Dorsette, first corrector; Thomas Turner, second corrector. UNIVERSITY ALUMNUS HAS PLAN FOR A NEW SYSTEM OF ATHLETICS HERE t. RANSON THINKS FAILING OF CAROLINA IS IN USING COACHING SYSTEMS OF LARGER UNIVERSITIES. WOULD , DEVELOP AN ENTIRELY NEW CARO f LINA SYSTEM OF COACHING (By Luciu H. Ranson) Lucius Ranson, superintendent of county welfare in Mecklenburg county has proposed a plan relative to the athletic situation at the University of North Carolina. Mr. Ranson outlines his plan briefly, as this: "1. We should develop a Carolina system of athletics our own plays, methods of training, some originality. "2. We should have an all-Carolina coaching staff with sufficient pay to justify the men in giving their full time to the work. "3. We should have an athletic di rector on the job 12 months in the year who would be the head of the athletic organization. He should be, not only the business manager, but also a live wire with personality. All of the state high school championship contests in the various branches of athletics should be placed under his supervision and reorganized along sound lines. "Please allow me to enlarge a little upon the three suggestions given above. In the first pace, I am tired seeing Carolina try the Yale, the Princeton, the Harvard, Notre Dame, V. P. I., and other systems of play. Let's develop a Carolina system. Let's hold a meeting of as many former Carolina players as we can get to gether and use our own brains. "In the second place, 1 would sug gest that we employ three Carolina men a line man, an end, and a back field man and pay them on the same basis that we have been paying our Princeton, Harvard and Yale coaches so that they can afford to give their full time to the work. Give them the system in outline, with reasonable room for the use of their own judg ment and initiative in working out the details of the system and put them on the job. We may not have a perfect system nor the best coaches the first year or two, but we can remedy the WHITFIELD TALKS OF FUTURE TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA SAYS AMERICANS DO NOT CON SIDER FUTURE IN SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE Mr. Vivian Whitfield, American Consul to South America stationed at Montevideo, and former member of the Carolina faculty, addressed the students in Chapel Thursday morning December 9. He was introduced by Dr. Leavitt, professor of Spanish, who recently returned from South America. Mr. Whitfield put squarely before the students the question of future trade with the South American coun tries. Most of the Americans who go to South America go there lacking the first requisite for success, to know Spanish and to know how to speak it well. Most men go there with the wrong idea. The average man does not realize that South America is a land where one will have to persevere and encounter hardships to succeed. The American is not naturally a colo nizer and he does not go to South America to make his home, conse quently he is dissatisfied. Montevideo is the best city in South America in which to live and yet Americans are not satisfied there. America has the wrong idea about South American trade. The majority of firms carry on trade with South America to get rich quick, and con sequently they are not thinking of the future. They are harming America instead of gaining for her the friend ship of the South American countries. Mr. Whitfield stated that Great Bri tain is fast taking the trade which America gained during the war. Dr. Charles L. Raper, former Dean of the Graduate School and head of the Economics department here, was initiated into the honorary fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa Saturday, at the 144th anniversary celebration held at William and Mary College. defects from year to year and try different men from year to year, if ! necessary, until ultimately we shall have football teams of which we may ! be nroud. We can evolve a svstem oi our own. "I believe we Carolina men have as much sense as any man or set of men from any other institution and I for one want to see some of our own pro ducts given a chance to do something. I In the past 10 year I have seen Caro- 1 na try Brides and the Yale system, Bocock and the V. P. I. methods, Mar tin and the Notre Dame brand, Dog gie Trenchard and the Princeton sys tem, Tommy Campbell and the Har vard system, and ending the decade as it began with Fuller and another disastrous try at the Yale system. Instead of making any sound progress along any definite lines, we have con sistently followed the plan of serving our squad a re-hash of the plays and methods used by our coach when , he was playing at the institution from which he came. There was nothing wrong with the man, probably but it is no wonder that the fellows on the squad never knew what to do. Be fore a player could master one way of playing a new coach was on the job and it had to be done some other way. "Necessarily, we would have to change coaches sometimes from year to year, but why should we change the plays and the methods of exe cuting them every year? A system of play all our own will eliminate any necessity for this constant changing of plays and methods. "The coaches should be employed for a year at a time with the under standing that they will be re-elected if they deliver the goods and want the job. " 'Where shall we get the coaches ? Bill, or Jim, or John can't coach the (Continued on page four) ATHLETIC AUTHORITIES MEET FETZER AND MURRILL ON HILL MEMBERS FACULTY AND STU DENT BODY MEET TWO COACHES The athletic authorities at the Uni versity who "are making plans for the leadership of athletics and particular ly of football for next year have re cently had interviews with W. M. Fet zer, director of athletics at A. and E., and with Hugh A. Murrill, Jr., of Charlotte, coach this year of the Char lotte high school. No decision has been reached yet and the coaching committee is continuing its investiga tions. Hope is entertained, however, that a contract will be closed with some one before Christmas. "Bill" Fetzer, the present coach at A. and E., spent ' Thursday night in Chapel Hill talking over the situation with Graduate Manager Woollen, Dr. Charles S. Mangum, chairman of the faculty committee on athletics, Presi dent Chase, Captain Robbins Lowe, and others. At this meeting the local conditions were gone over' thoroughly and the needs of the university in ath letic leadership were discussed. The meeting was preliminary in its nature and no attempt to reach a definite de cision was made. It is probable, ath letic authorities say, that negotiations will be continued. Fetzer has not made any plans at the present time for next year and is merely looking over the ground and familiarizing himself as much as possible with what is required here. On the same day Mr. Woollen and Dr. Mangum had an interview with Mr. Murrill and again the local situ ation was outlined. Murrill, who is a native of Charlotte, was coach this year of the Charlotte team, which made a good record in high school football. It is understood that no definite step has been taken in regard to either Fetzer or Murrill and that other men are under consideration by the coach continued on page four) SENIOR CLASS PLANS HELP IN ELIMINATING GROUNDLESS RUMORS COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO LOOK INTO RUMORS AND MAKE REPORT NO TRUTH TO BE SUPPRESSED Holding its third complete meeting of the year the Senior Class met Fri day night in the Inn Dining Hall and smoked, ate, and chewed the rag for two hours; and emitted, as a concrete result of the meeting, a program whereby the Class offers to become active in eliminating the things that have caused the students to frequent ly misunderstand the faculty during this quarter, and the faculty, on the other hand, to misunderstand the stu dents. This situation has arisen be cause of the fact that the entire cam pus has no common medium, or com mon meeting ground, for long since the chapel exercises has ceased to reach but few more than the Fresh man Class on account of lack of space. And as the Tar Heel is not read by all of the students, there remains no way of getting to all parts of Uni- versity life. This proposition was submitted by Tyre C. Taylor, Editor of the Maga zine, and has as its purpose to clarify those things that are now misunder stood, and lead to criticism. The par ticular things that were discussed in support of this move were Swain Hall, the condition of the gymnasium, and the practice of students to break out window lights in kicking, or passing balls near the dormitories. The con dition now breed rumors, that are fre quently without foundation. And the Senior Class proposes to co-operate with the administration and faculty in getting to the entire student body correct information that because of a lack of which, the students are fre quently lead to wrong conclusions; but it has no idea of suppressing any crit icism that may remain when every one knows the facts. On this com mittee authorized to work in behalf (Continued on page four) PROFESSOR WILLIAMS TRACES NEW PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEM TWO GREAT PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE HAVE SERVED THEIR PURPOSES "The University is here, supported by the state of North Carolina, for the sole purpose of growing men and as men are grown best by practicing being men, our Honor System which teaches students to be real men is the finest thing we have at Carolina." Thus spoke Professor Horace Wil liams in a heart to heart talk with students in Gerrard Hall Sunday night. Introduced by Dr. Chase as the Personification of the Honor Sys tem, Professor Williams took as his theme, "Carolina's Honor System." In his talk, he showed the purpose of the System, explaining that living up to the system was only playing the man all the time. Professor Williams named two great philosophies of life which have been great powers, but which are now spending themselves, and asserted that a third was now getting under way. The first two have served their purpose, but in the third rests hope for the future he said. The first of these, he called the Ec clesiastical system, and defined it as a philosophy which grounded itself in something over against the man. This system makes its appeal to the imagination, the hope of reward, the fear of punishment. It is a stage of ecclesiastical nursehood, and as one can't grow men at the end of an apron string, this system has about run its course. The second or Scientific system" has also been worked out and found want ing, he said. This makes its appeal to the understanding instead of to the emotions. This holds that man is a product of his environment just as it holds that water is a product of oxygen and hydrogen. The environ ment masters the man; the individual (Continued on page three) j
