High School Week-Carolina Trounces Furman
STAGE ALL SET FOR HIGH SCHOOL
EVENTS IN DEBATING UNION, TENNIS
AND TRACK TO BEGIN THURSDAY
Very Little Else Will Go On
While High School Vis
itors Are Here.
GRAND FINALE ON FRIDAY
Over 500 Guests Will Be Here And
Students Are Anticipating the
Festivities on Hill.
The stage is all set for the annual
high school week which includes an
elaborate program of debates, track
meet and tenis tournament, and
which promises to be the most sue
cessful undertaken by the Univer
sity.. From Thursday afternoon to
late Saturday night there will be
a continual round of activities, and
the usual routine of the University
students, faculty, and towns people
cooperate to make the week-end an
enthusiastic one for the high school
students.
The problem of accommodating
over 500 visitors including the high
school students, teachers, relatives
and friends is a difficult one, con
sidering the crowded conditions
here, and only through the efforts
of the students and townspeople
may accommodations be found for
all.
The -program will get under way
Thursday afternoon at 2:15 when
there will be a general meeting of
the high school debators, represent
ing 56 schools, in Memorial hall.
The meeting wiij be presided over
by N. W. Walker, president of the
Debate committee, and the schools
will draw for pairs and sections f
the preliminaries. ' On Thursday
night at 7 o'clock the first prelimi
naries will take place in 14 various
halls throughout the campus. The
affirmative team of one school will
be pitted against the negative team
of another, and the winning i team
will be selected by three faculty
judges. The second preliminaries
begin Friday morning at 9; the win
ning affirmative teams in the Di hall
and the negative teams in the Phi
hall.
The successful teams will clash in
the grand finale for the Aycock cup
on Saturdray night at 8 o'clock in.
Memorial hall. The haU is expected
to be taxed to its capacity for the
interest in the debate will have
reached a high pitch. President
Chase is to preside at th final de
bate, and the five judges to officiate
are: H. H. Williams, L. P. McGeehee,
L. R. Wilson, W. S. Bernard and
R. D. W. Connor. Immediately af
ter the debate, Professor Noble will
award the cups and medals to the
victors of the track meet and ten
nis tournament.
E. R. Rankin, assistant director of
the extension division, has received
the entries of 125 contestants rep

pionship track meet. The field events
of the meet will begin Friday at
10 a. m. and the running events at
2 p. m. the same day. The follow

tinue through the rest of the day:
Oak Ridge, Selma, Winston-Salem,
Hickory, Smithfield, Raleigh, Char
lotte and Wilson.
Battle Will Bear Strongly on North
Carolina Collegiate Baseball
Championship of 1922. .
Wake Forest comes to Chapel
Hill Wednesday afternoon for the
first important game of the season
that will have any bearing on the
state championship. Wake Forest
comes with a good team, with plenty
of backing, and will get plenty of
hard scrapping.
Carolina looked more than good
against Furman. Wake Forest look
ed just about as good. Both have
the teams, possibly the best teams
in the state, and the Carolina stu
dent body and others may well ex
pect to see a good hard battle.
The lineup for Carolina may be
shifted to some extent. Just who
will start in the outfield is a ques
tion. Red Johnson started last game,
gave way to Moose Tenney, who in
turn gave way to Dr. Tommy J.
Wilson and ArmfieW took his place.
Armfield has been looking good in
practice and may get a chance
against Wake Forest. Sweetman
will likely take his same place in
the outfield with Wilson or Llewelyn
in left.
Wake Forest comes with a high
ly touted team. They have won
everything they started this season,
taking in Furman, Erskine, Lenoir,
Elon and Trinity. That they have
a ball club is unquestioned, and that
they are going to do their best to
put it all over Carolina is a gen
erally accepted certainty. They will
try very, very hard it is understood,
and it is also a generally accepted
fact that Carolina fully intends to
send them back to their go id Bap
tist institution with a defeat, the
first of the season, chalked up
against them.
The entire campus is on its toes
with expectancy over the prospects
for tomorrow's game and a huge
crowd is expected over from Dur
ham and other nearby towns.
Y. M. Ci PRESIDENT
TO BE ELECTED MONDAY
Lillycrop Wants Dancing, But Brown
Says No Platform of Most
Promising Candidates.' '
ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS
At a meeting of the Cabinet of
the Y. M. C. A. last Thursday night,
the cabinet named its nominees. for
president of the Y. for next year.
The candidate must be a member of
the rising senior class, and the men
.nominated follow in the order in
which they were nominated: W. A.
Lillycrop, J. Y. Kerr, R. E. Brown,
G. H. Leonard, J. O. Harmon, Al
len McGee, and C. C. Poindexter.
Nominations for Y. M. C. A. pres
ident are still open to any student
nnd the Y. cabinet requests that any
nominations be sent to the Tar Heel
before Wednesday noon to be pub
lished in the Friday issue.
The race, and it seems that it will
wax warm before votes are cast,
appears to be between Lillycrop and
Brown, whose practically assured
platform is given below. Lillycrop is
in favor of restoring to some extent
the status quo of the Y,, that is to
allow informal dancing in the build
ing, and teach classes in dancing.
Brown, on the other hand, it is un
derstood, will adhere more closely
to the C. J. Williams policy locally,
and the Y. M. C. A. policy nationally.
It is the policy of the national as
sociation to discourage dancing, and
the rule never to allow it in an as
sociation building. But it is pointed
out by Lillycrop that not only has
that been the policy locally in '" the
past, before the Williams' adminis
tration, but it is a crying need of
the campus for some such place as
an informal dancing hall. He fur
ther contends that officially the Uni
versity Y. is not a member of , "the
national organization.
It is generally understood that
both Brown and Lillycrop are in fa
vor of great relaxation over the pres
ent method of rigidity. Both Brown
and Lillycrop have served on the Y.
cabinet this year and both are hard
workers in everything they tackle.

ENGSTH DISCUSSES OIL
Li U
Says that Su--ly of Gasoline in the
United States is Diminishing
Swiftly
TD BATTLE HERE FRIDAY
Little Known of Visiting Team, But
Odds Lie With Carolina Wil
son or Bryson to Pitch'
At the regu! ir meeting of the Wil
liam Cain C vil Engineering last
Thursday, E. F. Engstrum, a junior
in Civil Engineering, discussed in
detail the "oil shale possibilities in
the West." Eigstrum said that an
investigation by the United States
Geological Survey had revealed that
the supply of gasoline in this country
will be exhausted within the next
30 years. Gaf.oline is at a premium
in Europe now, the price per gal
lon being about 75 cents, and, Eng
strum said, the same situation will
face this country in the course of
time unless steps are made to meet
the situation.
Shale rocks, which are found in
abundance in the West, contain pe
troleum, and when distilled, yields
about one barrel of gasoline to the
ton of rocks. These rocks are very
soft in texture. There are a great
manv such deposits in the western
part of the U. S., and in the course
of time, we, like Europe today, will
have to depend upon this source for
our gasoline.
Student Government is Trying Ta

Carolina meets Lynchburg in her
third baseball game Friday afternoon, j
Very little is known about the Lynch
burg nine, but it is thought that J
Carolina will win by a comfortable;
margin. j
The same line-up which was used.,
in the Furman game will probably ,
be used. It is not known who will I
do the twirling. If Bryson is used
Wilson will take a place in the outer
gardens .because of his batting abil
ity. Wilson is the popular choice
for the pitching of this game, Bry
son' handling tomorrow's contest.

in Chapel on student government as
a constructive proposition, illustra

Dliliy anu espuumuy iub uuiigauvii w j
the student government here. - Pre- j
ident Chase asked the students what
it is that student government at Uni
versity is trying to accomplish, and
he answered this by saving that it
was trying to grow men into the full
ness of clean, upright, manhood..
The modern idea of government is
entirely a different affair from what
it once was he declared, and it is
thinking more and more about the
constructive side. This is being done
in the state by our officials. Govern
ment is now operated for the better
ment of education, health, good
roads and public welfare, ine ob
ject of student government is co
operation, and he asserted that it
was becoming a great cooperative
and constructive enterprise. : It
stands for the things that make for
a better, happier and finer commu
nity. "The first object of student gov
ernment is to make better men, in
character, ideals and to teach them
to do the right thing always," said
Dr. Chase in summing up the objects
of self government. The second ob
ject is to build a finer community in
which it exists. This is to be done
by each student who should con
sider himself a citizen and share in
its upbuilding. The welfare, fineness
and cleanness of the community is
his and should be safeguarded. Each
student should have his heart set on
developing and growing a finer com
munity, he declared. " v
"Student government is the con
dition of the heart and not of the
council," he said.
(By S. R. Pickens)
The Di Society Saturday night
elected George W. McCoy editor-in
chief of the Magazine over G. W.
Lankford and Artus M. Moser. The
Di also went out of the beaten path
of parlimentary proceedure and
raised what Sherman called war.
They raised it in general and in some
cases were rather particular and
personal about it.
The whole matter began to sim
mer when the president of the so
ciety called, under pertinent busi
ness, for the amendment giving the
society power to elect the editor-in-chief
of the Magazine at the meet
ing in question. An omnious silence
greeted the announcement of the
amendment and when the question
was put the body voted unanimously
and silently for it.
C. B. Colton secured the floor,
asked the president if nominations
were in order. Tom Warren re
plied that they were but asked the
vice president to take the chair. J.
P. Trotter took it. Warren walked
around to the speaking stand and
started to speak. Poindexter, see
ing something wrong, rose to a point
of order and asked the vice presi
dent, "Pikel' Trotter if Mr. Colton
didn't have the floor. Mr. Trotter
ruled that Mr. Colton had the floor
and Mr. Warren ceased speaking
while Carlton arose and nominated
G. W. Lankford for the office.
The president of the society then
launched into a long and rather un
expected speech on the qualifications
of the man who would get this of
fice. Everything was smooth, and
everybody listened attentively to thv
president as he outlined the policy
of the Magazine for the coming year,
but when he said "Gentlemen of
the Hall I Wish to nominate a man
who has all these qualifications." C.
J. Williams rose to a point of order
and wanted to know if Mr. Warren
was within his rights in doing so.
Mr. Warren then started the speech
he had made all over, saying , that
the society had evidently lost the
thread of his discourse on being in
terrupted. Mr. Warren spoke on and on, no
body knew who he was speaking
for. Nobody much cared, they only
wanted him to stop. Finally Joe
McLean interrupted the speaker again
and urged that he not nominate a
man as it was out of the ordinary.
Mr. Trotter replied that he felt that
Mr. Warren was doing something
unpleasant, but that Mr. Warren was
within his rights. Finally Warren
spoke the name of the man who he
was speaking for and it was like the
ringing of a death knell. Artus M.
Moser was nominated.
Ratty Raoison then secured the
floor and in a short speech, which j
was too long, nominated George !
McCoy and his name was received !
with much enthusiasm and prolonged j
applause, Yarley moved that nom- I
inations be closed, and the said mo-!
tion passed without a dissenting vote.
Tyre Taylor arose, and then some
of the fire works broke loose. Mr.
Taylor deplored the fact that poli
tical influences had entered the fair
halls of Di, and as he spoke the
pictures on the wall smiled their
approval, at least some of them did.
He said that he wished Mr. Horner,
the present editor had sent over a
recommendation as to who was the
best man to carry on the work of the
magazine. He closed his address with
a scathing attack on politics electing
the editor of the magazine and urged
that the best man be selected.
Several more men joined in the
discussion and while the rest of the
society panted like Gila monsters on
an Arizona desert, the high lights
flung out denunciation and gathered
in anathema. Finally some man with
the courage of his convictions moved
that the discussion of the nominations
be closed, and the society at once
voted the measure through and pre
pared to elect the new editor. Lank
ford's name came first. With lots
of feet shuffling and thumping of
seats his 30 or 40 followers arose
to his support and stood with gleam
ing faces. Moser came next and a
sad few stood. Moser's name was

T YET
Varsity and Freshmen Trials Held,
With Better Showing Than Week
Previous Trinity Meet t
Saturday
Because of the postponement of
the dual track meet with A. and E.
which was to have been held in Ral
eigh Saturday, and to help put the
team in better shape for the Trinity
meet next Saturday, varsity track
trials with two freshmen events were
held on Emerson field last week. The
trials were -slower than usual and
plenty of room for improvement is
left.
Some improvement was shown ov
er the week before, yet the team must
improve considerably to take the
meet from the Methodists. A num
ber of men were absent, due to min
or injuries sustained, and lack of con
dition on account of reporting late
or irregular for practice.
At present Coach Bob Fetzer is
trying to find good men to replace
P. J. Ranson and Captain Boyd Har
den. In losing these two men the
team was hit hard and much diffi
culty is being experienced in getting
good men to replace them. It is like
ly that Freeman and Dale Ranson
will compete in the mile; while Am
bler and Murchsion will enter the
880;Woodward will take on the 100
high jump, and broad Seiferd is
showing up well and should make
a place in the mile or 2 mile run.
L. H. Moore and Sinclair are show
ing up well in the dashes.
The freshmen events, which con
stituted the preliminary trials of the
series of Freshmen Intra class events
which will be run durig the spring
term were well contested, being
slightly better than those of the var
sity, but had comparatively few
entrants. Yarborough proved to be
the outstanding man, winning both
the 50 yard dash and the 300 yard
run.
Coach Fetzer intends to keep his
men steadily on the grind during the
remainder of the week and thinks
that the team as a whole will be
in good shape for the meet, provided
that no other men are ruled off, or
sustain minor injuries which will
throw them out of the run.
Playing steady, if not brilliant baseball, hitting the pill heav
ily, and taking advantage of every break which the windy
weather and the tired-out Furman team presented Fetzer's nine
triumphed over the visitors from South Carolina 8 to 0, Satur
day afternoon. This game was scheduled for Friday but was
postponed on acount of sudden showers.
Llewellyn did the twirling for Car
olina in a masterly fashion, whiffing
nine of his opponents, while the team
worked well behind him in the field,
though the work of the outfielders
was a trifle, shall we say, irregular
at times. This will probably be en
tirely eliminated as soon as the sea
son progresses. In the infield the
McLean-Shirley route was a death
trap for the Sandlappers.
Furman played excellent ball for
the first three innings and deserves a
lot of credit. Although they were
very wild at times, and could never
connect effectively with Llewellyn's
fast ones. They were clean ball play
ers throughout, and the contest was
all that could be desired in the way
of good sportsmanship.
Both teams played practically air
tight ball until the third inning when
Roy Morris reached first on an er
ror, the Furman pitcher populated
the sacks densely by a brace of walk
ing papers to McDonald and McLean,
and Fred Morris parked the ball in
the outer gardens, driving in his
brother and Monk McDonald.
Thus the fun began and continued
through the seventh frame, with the
local boys swatting the pill almost at
will and running wild on the bases.
Fred Morris is particularly guilty in
this respect and has a charge of
grand larceny on , two seperate ac
counts.
Although very one-sided the game
was replete with thrills of as many
complexions as the grand chapter of
the Shifters. Red Johnson garnered
in a high foul in the right garden
after a long run, which got him the
glad hand of the gallery, center
fielder Carter, of Furman, robbed
Carolina of at least one run when
he made a brilliant one-hand stab of
a long swat in the sixth frame and
the pill stuck. Brassington, the Fur
man third-sacker, made short shrift
of a hard liner in a similar manner,
as did our pitcher, Mister Llewellyn,
and a very nifty double play Llew-ellyn-McDonald-Shirley
can easily be
listed in the category of features.
And one must not close such a
story without a passing remark on
the excellent umpiring, exquisite man
ners, and unparalleled pronunciation
of Mister Brandon, who was kind
enough to referee the ball match for
the boys.

No Longer Tar Baby
Man.
Editor The Tar Heel:
I wish to take advantage of
your columns to announce to
the student body and the pub
lic at large, the severence of
al relations between myself
and the Carolina Tar Baby.
At the same time I wish to
disavow all and any respon
sibility for the last issue.
I am taking this step be
cause I am absolutely unable
to obtain any cooperation vith
the business management of
The Tar Baby and on account
of the interference of said
management of The Tar Baby
and on account of the inter
ference of said management
with the literary arraignment
of the magazine. The last ).--.-sue
of The Tar Baby was the
creature of others than the
board of editors, and proof
reading by same was rendered
impossible by the non-coot er
ation of the business end.
Owing to these facts alone
and not to any personal trou-;
ble with the owners, etc. I
wish my resignation to be
known publicly as well as my
compete innocence of any
filched material which may
come to light of day in the
latest issue.
Sincerely yours,
R. L. Gray, Jr.
