TEAM LEAVES THURSDAY ON NORTHERN TRIP TAf-I 11 TPJ TT TEAM LEAVES THURSDAY ON NORTHERN TRIP Vol No. XXX. Chapel Hill, N. C, February 14, 1922. No. 32. 6ASKETEERS LEAVE ON NORTHERN THIP FACING A V..M. I. I First Game Team to Go to Atlanta For Southern Tournament. W. & L. HAS GREAT TEAM The Carolina basketball quint will leave here Thursday night on the northern trip, and faces a long, hard grind, before returning to the Hill. V. M. I., Washington and Lee, Uni versity of Virginia, and the Army will be played on the tour, after which the team will go direct to At lanta for the southern tournament. The Elon victory Saturday night made the seventh consecutive inter collegiate victory for the Tar Heels, the team having defeated every team pja'yed in the state. Going at this rate, every indication is that Fetzer's aggregation will acquit themselves well on the northern trip and in the southern tournament. State championship honors seem practically cinched, though of course it cannot be called a certainty until the Trinity game on March 6 in Durham, which closes the season. Trinity still says that she has a chance for the championship, and Carolina will have to win this final game from her in order to have a perfectly clear title to the rag. On the northern trip the first game to be played will be with V. M. I. in Lexington on Friday. Last year V. M. I. had just about the best bas ketball team in the south, and de feated the crack team that repre sented Carolina by a 15 point margin. Little has been heard from the cadets this season, though it is known that several of the men that formed their wonderful team last year is back, and Carolina will have a big fight on her hands. The following day Washington and Lee will be played. This will be one of the hardest games of the entire trip, and Carolina faces a tough job in an effort to win from this quint. Washington aad Lee has the strong est team in years, and word comes that it is after the southern cham pionship, and that the students there believe that the team will have lit-1 le trouble in copping it. The first of the Virginia series will be played Monday, while Tuesday the team will leave for New York, where they will play the Army on Wednes day. Directly after this game the Carolina team will leave the metro polis for Atlanta to enter the south ern tournament. The results of this tournament will be watched with con siderable interest. Local followers are of the opinion that the Tar Heel quint will figure prominently and will be far from the first one to be eliminated. ; Fetzer has not yet decided the men that he will take on the trip besides the regular first team of the two Carmichaels, McDonald, Perry, and Green. Probably eight players will go, accompanied by Coach Fet zer and Manager Jacobi or one of the assistant managers. NORTH CAROLINA CLUB TO PUBLISH YEAR BOOK The North Carolina Club year book for 1920-21 has now gone through the final stages of edit ing and will go to press in a few days. This year book will be one of the most elaborate and comprehensive productions the club has ever undertaken. It will contain well-prepared dis sertations on various phases of city life and problems, all of which are based on thorough re search studies. "North Carolina, Undistrial and Urban," will be the title of the year book, and, as the name implies, it is devoted entirely to the studies of conditio and problems of all phases of. city life and management. It will be a grand compilation of facts pertaining to existing problems and their remedy and solution. But it is far from being a dry collection of facts and figures, for these are used only as a working basis for the presenta tion of solutions to problems and new methods of conducting city affairs and governmental administration. The scope of the book includes everything from facts concerning the city ward drift to an explanation of the best methods of munici pal accounting and the advant ages of these. Any one desiring a copy of this year book can secure it by notifying Prof. S. H. Hobbs, Jr., secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Club. PRELIMS FOR INDOORS INTER-CLASS MEET TO BE HELD FRIDAY NIGHT Tl FOR CAROLINA TEAMS CAROLINA PLAYS BRILLIANTLY AND OVERWHELMS ELON IN THE MOST EXCITING GAME THIS SEASON First Indoor Track Meet Ever Staged Preliminaries For Triangular Debate Here Arranged By Coach Bob Fetzer. TRACK PROSPECTS GOOD Held; Moore, Horner, Harris, Grit sett, Warren, Young, Chosen. DR. CAPEN TALKS TO FACULTY FRIDAY NIGHT Noted Educator Discusses Vital Is sues of Profession After Speech Banquet Will Be Given. . Preliminaries for the inter-class meet will be held in the gymnasium on Friday night, February 17, and advance dope indicates that compe tition will be keen. This will be the first indoor inter-class meet on record in the University. The events in the inter-class meet will be: 25 yd. dash, 25 yd hurdles, standing broad jump, and running high jump. According to announce ments made by Coach Bob Fetzer all entries must be in by 6 o'clock Wed nesday. Work on the outdoor wooden track began Saturday, and will probably be ready for use tomorrow. The track is located directly in front of Memorial hall, and is a 12 lap one. It will provide an ideal place to prac tice for the indoor state meet which is to come off on March 10th. "N. C. State has 'already officially entered the State indoor meet," Fet zer said on his return from Raleieh. and "Wake Foresails verbally agreed to come in." Davidson is expected to enter soon, and with Carolina and Trinity promoting, every large col- llege in the state will be represented. The meet will be held in the Star Brick warehouse in Durham on March 10. The building which is a large one, will accommodate over 1,000 people. Seats to accommodate the spectators will be carried over by the Carolina team. , The team has been practicing dur ing the week in Memorial hall and on Dr. Samuel P. Capen, secretary of the American Council on Education, and a leading authority on educa tional research, who returned with President Chase from an automobile trip in Florida as guests of President A. A. Murphy of Florida University, addressed the faculty Friday night on "Current Tendencies fn Higher Education." Dr. Capen stated that during the past decade the organization of the certificate system, entrance require ments, unit system, and curriculum in American colleges has tended, to favor the mediocre student while the individual has been overworked. How ever, since the war as a result of intelligence tests and other causes, there has been a movement to allow the exceptional student to progress as rapidly as possible without being retarded by regulations governing the mediocre student. Dr. Capen also brought out the fact that there is a tendency now to provide a braader scope of courses for the entering student, in order that he may select the profession best suited to him. ; A system to this ef fect being organized at Columbia was cited by Dr. Capen. After the lecture, the first faculty smoker of the year was held at Presi dent Chase's mansion which was largely attended.

The author's reading of new folk plays was held in Peabody auditorium Thursday evenine and three new plays were selected for the winter quar ter production. These plays are to be presented at the, Play House on Friday and Saturday evening, March 10 and 11. The new plays are "The Lord's Will," by Paul Green, "Dogwood Bushes," by Wilbur Stout, and "Blackbeard," by Paul Green written in collaboration with Elizabeth Lay. "Agatha," by Jane Toy was selected as an alternate to be used in case it was found to be difficult to produce "Blackbeard." Seven nlavs were read. Those not selected were "Snuf Enough," a com- edv bv Ellen Lay: "The Junction," a serious play, by Charlie Parker, and "The Feud," a mountain tragedy by Hubert Heffner. "The Lord's Will" is a tragedy of a man and his family who have gone to the extreme in religious beliels to the neglect of material things. "Dosrwood Bushes" is a brilliant lit tle comedy written in the same vein as "Dixon's Kitchen" and is equally as good. "Blackbeard" is a play that the Playmakers have been wanting for three years and is concerned with the end of the life of the famous pirate of long ago who made terror for all the Atlantic coast of America. It is a melodrama and is going to be verv hard to produce, but the .directors feel now that it can be done. 'Aeatha" is a comedy with the scene laid in Hillsboro and is about an ar istocratic old Southern father who wishes to change the names of his three daughters to those of the lead ing Confederate generals. Tryouts for the parts have been held but the casts have not been se lected in their final form yet. This will be done soon, however, and the announcement made. Power Pumps Now Force All Water To Users In Village. The University and town water is now being forced to its users by means of cower pumps due to the cleaning process the stand pipe is being subjected to. All the water has been drawn from it and workmen are busy scraping the sides and cleaning the bottom for all sand or mud that has accumu lated within the past year. This work is done once every twelve months because it often happens FEATURE OF PHI SESSION After Motion of Adjournment By 'P. A. Reavis, Lively Tilt Results Be tween Him and Speaker. Before adjourning for the basket ball game on Saturday night the Philanthropic Assembly transacted some snappy and important business in the forty-five minutes alloted for the meeting. John H. Zollicoffer, of Henderson, was initiated into the Assembly, and the remainder of the business allow ed by P. A. Reavis' motion for an early adjournment was gone through ! with. It being necessary to elect a Speaker for the third quarter, in or der that his picture might be in cluded in 1921-1922 group of the Assembly's chief executives, the Hall was thrown open for nominations for that office. Messrs. W. T. Shaw, W. J. Bare foot, L. J. Phipps and Dan Byrd were nominated for this office. Mr. Shaw was the final victor from the group, leading Mr. Barefoot, his nearest opponent by ten votes. Mr. Shaw has been a member of the As sembly three years, being a Senior this year and eligible for the office. He has taken a real interest in the work of the Assembly, and is expect ed by his supporters and those of the other candidates to make a worthy presiding officer. Under Mr. Reavis' motion for an early adjournment, the Assembly was open for adjournment after the elec tion of the speaker. Mr. Reavis ob jected during the first of the meeting to the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, stating that he did not include them in his motion. Then a warm cross play developed between Mr. Reavis and the Speaker, the lat ter holding that in his statement of the motion for a vote, he included the minutes, and thus they were vot ed by the Assembly to be read. The Speaker admitted his misinterpreta tion of Mr. Reavis' motion, when he interposed an objection to their read ing. After a period of tilting, with most of the Assembly in the dark, the meeting was declared adjourned, the contentions of the gentlemen re maining unsettled. Professional and under-graduate fraternities were discussed in Chapel Thursday morning by Frank Spruill and Bob Frazier in order that the students and especially the first-year men may judge the fraternities cor rectly by the good they do on the campus and the real purpose they serve. Frank Spruill spoke on the pro fessional fraternities at Carolina iioinm no an avamnla r -P urViat Vi or : are Phi Delta Phi, the legal fratern ity of which he is a member. He stated that there were a good many professional fraternities here and made mention of the medical, journ alistic, chemical engineering and i pharmaseutical fraternities. Spruill showed that they did certain work in college and in the professional life in the State. He said, "In college the professional fraternities have meetings regularly and at such meet ings papers are prepared covering subjects that pertain to the work of the men in the various professional fraternities." The general idea of the profes sional fraternity, as he expressed is to help the men in the fraternity to see the big side of their profession; and to also raise the standard of the profession to a plane above what it is now. The purpose of the fratern ities is to do away with the "jack leg lawyers" and the so-called "quack doctors." This, it generally .tries to do in an organized way, declared Spruill. : Bob Frazier, President of the Pan- Hellenic Council, spoke on the under graduate fraternities by outlining the growth, purpose, origin and useful ness of fraternities at Carolina. The Phi .Betta Kappa he stated was the very first national fraternity organ ized, and it was founded in 1776, and now he said there are fraterni ties in nearly all colleges and uni versities in this country covering all the land. There are over 370,000 men in fraternities today and a valu ation of something over $16,000,000 up-to-date, he said. The purpose of the fraternities is STATE HONORS SEEM SURE Carolina Plays Best This Season Carmichael Brothers Feature in Hard Fought Contest. (Continued on Page Four.)

The first Northern club in the his tory of the University was organ ized Thursday night, when 15 Yan kees convened at the Presbyterian church, adopted a constitution, elect ed officers, and outlined plans for a club that is destined to become a per manent organization if the influx of Northern students continues at the present rate. The purpose of the club is to es tablish a bond of union and friend ship between the Northern students, and to foster the best ideals of the campus. The membership is open to all students living in the states gen erally considered as Northern states. The 15 members comprising about one-half of the Northern students here, represented seven states, New Jersey having the greatest number. The officers elected to serve for the balance of the year are: C. B. Colton, Boston, Mass., president; O. W. Freeman, West Orange, N. J., vice president; G. H. Jarvis, Boston, Mass., secretary, and "Steve" Brody, New Haven, Conn., treasurer. Par son Moss, who wso instrumental in formine the club, and Garland Por ter, president of the students, were unanimously elected into honorary membership. Profesor M. N. Paull and Garland Porter gave interesting talks, and discussed the possibilities of the club. Gooch's coffee and sand wiches added the necessary touch to a fairly productive evening for The Tar Heel Yanks, and after singing Dixie to the tune of Yankee Doodle, the meeting was adjourned. Brilliant offensive and defensive work, a dash and aggressiveness that was so characteristic of the famous basketball five of 1921, and a remark able display of perfect floor-work and I team play; enabled the Carolina quin tet to win its seventh inter-collegiate contest in Bynum Gymnasium Satur day night, overwhelming the fast Elon five by the score of 59-24. Elon sent down over two hundred supporters on a special train to witness her first defeat in six games. STRIKES HER STRIDE. The Carolina quint struck its stride in the Elon contest, and played a brand of basketball that has seldom been equalled on the local court. Elon started things rolling with such a vim that the Tar Heels were forced to put out the goods, and up against a scrapping team like the visitors had, the very best that the Carolina quint possessed was forthcoming. Elon was hopelessly outclassed after the first few minutes of the struggle, but the game fight that the five display ed, playing the far superior Carolina quint, made the contest the most ex citing played here this season, and furnished the crowded gymnasium with thrill after thrill. The game was abounding in fea tures, both teams at times making sensational plays. For Carolina every man on the quintet was easily a star, the Carmichael brothers and Perry figuring most prominently on the of fense, while Green and McDonald continuously broke up play after play for the visitors, and were a real bul wark on the defense. "Billy" Car michael ran wild toward the middle of the game, and appeared to shoot almost at will and as fast as his team mates could feed them to him. He caged a total of nine baskets dur ing the course of the game, many of which were tossed from long and dif ficult angles. "Cart" Carmichael, aside from some almost perfect passing and floor work, shot six baskets from the court and made good nine out f fourteen tries for fouls. "Sis" Perry, after making only two court goals in the first period, found himself in the last (Continued on Page Four.) New Organization of Faculty and Students of Episcopal Church Holds Interesting Meeting. The first meeting of the recently organized Parish House Club of the Episcopal church was held last Sat urday night. The club is an organi zation of the faculty and students of the church, being one of the first of its kind on the Hill. Its object is two fold: first to increase the social re lations between the members of the church, both faculty and students, and' second, to interest its members in the: problems of the church and the com munity, so as to make both a vital factor of the University life, rather than conditions to be accepted with out comment and left without im provement. The officers of the club were elected as follows: Dr. W. S. Bernard, president; T. J. Wilson 111, vice president, and R. L. Thompson, secretary-treasurer. The meeting was featured by the singing of Miss Aline Hughes, ac companied on the piano by Miss Lina Pruden, and also a delightful supper was served before the business for the evening was taken up. Dr. Ber nard acted as chairman and set forth the tentative plans for the work of the club. The club is to meet at least once each quarter, and any special meeting may be called by the officers. Its work in the mean time is to be done mostly through committees which were appointed, as follows: Committee on Parish House activities, A. H. Patterson, G. M. Braune, T. H. Shepard, and C. E. Miller; on mis sion work, J. S. Holmes and H. D. Duls; on conference, W. M. Dey and the officers of the club; on publicity,. R. L. Thompson, R. L. Gray and A.. T
