MARY D. WRIGHT DEBATE DEVEREUX PLAYERS TO-NIGHT Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, December 8, 1922 Number 21 STUDENTS PASS DEBATE PROPOSITION BY LARGEST MAJORITY EVER POLLED Contest Postponed Until Decern, ber 16 Account of Disastrous Fire in New Bern. HARD FIGHT IS EXPECTED The proposal to put inter-eollegiate debiting on a sound University basis, with each student paying an annual fee of 50 cents, was voted upon Monday, November 27, and passed by the record vote of 1,055 to 244. The results of this ballot have been reported to the University administra tion, which will provide suitable means for collecting the annual fee of 50 cents at the beginning of each fall quarter. For the present collegiate year of 1922 1923 the fee will be collected in the winter quarter. Heretofore, only men belonging to one of the two literary societies were eligible for the debating team. Now, however, any student may try for a place. The University debating coun cil is to be reorganized so that it will be composed of four members elected by the student body, two elected by each literary society, and two faculty advisers who shall be chosen by the eight student members of the council. The council will have nearly $900 to carry out the debate program with. Last year only $650 were spent on this campus activity. That sum, while too small to carry out an efficient program, was sufficiently burdensome to reduce the treasuries of the two societies to pitiable conditions. Now that funds are assured, an unusually good program is being prepared to keep up with the new and vigorous interest which has been shown in dobating this year. This program will be announced as soon as definite engagements have been made. The proposal for the 50 cent fee was discussed fully before the vote on Mon day; so there can be no feeling that anything was "put over" on anyone. Everyctudcnt was invito to vote the way he was inclined, and in response came the largest number of votes ever polled, and the largest majority by which any motion has ever been passed. BRILLIANT GRID SEASON GIVES CAROLINA CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE Only Other Undefeated Team Is V. P. I., Whose Tie With Davidson Ranks Them Below Tar Heels in South Atlantic Standing. YD. WRIGHT DEBATE TOMORROW NIGHT W. D. White and J. M. Saunders of Phi Will Oppose H. D. Duls and L. T. Bledsoe of Di. Tennis Team Takes Honors In Virginia The University tennis team has add ed one more laurel to the wreath that Carolina 'wears, sorely defeating both the University of Virginia and the University of Richmond,' Va. On the 28th of November the Caro lina tennis team played the University of Richmond, nt Richmond, seven matches (five singles and two doubles), winning all of them. The scores were, for the singles: Coxe of Carolina de feated Treadway of Richmond, 6-2, 6-2; Bruton defeated Hatcher, 6-1, 6-1; John ston defeated Boll, 6-0, 6-1; Jernigan defeated Riley, 6-2, 6-0; Smith defeated Lloyd, 6-2, 6-2. In the doubles, Johnston and Bruton of Carolina won from Treadwell and Hatcher of Richmond, 6-1, 6-0; and Coxe and Jernigan defeated Bell and Riley, 6-4, 6-4. The next day, on November 29, at Charlotesville, North Carolina took all the tennis matches from Virginia, ex cept that which Captain Flournoy of Virginia won from Bruton, 6-3, 6-2. The weather for the matches was ideal, but the arrangements were some what mediocre. Tn the singles against Virginia, Cap tain Coxe of Carolina won from Iloff hoimer, Virginia, 6-1, 6-2. Johnston, Carolina, from Bruns, Virginia, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1; and Jernigan, Carolina, from Mil ler, Virginia, 6-1, 2-6, 6-3. In the doubles, Coxo and Jernigan, Carolina, dofeated Flournoy and Bruns, Virginia, 6-1, 6-4. A fitting climax to a brilliant season on the gridiron was the Thanksgiving Day 10-7 defeat administered by the invicible Tar Hoela to their traditional rivals of the old Dominion. The outcome of the game did not upset any dope, although some disappointment that the margin of victory was not larger has been expressed. The University of North Carolina was represented this season by perhaps the greatest football team ever developed at Chapel Hill. To this team the South Atlantic championship is generally con ceded, as the Tar Heels' record is su perior to that of any other eleven in this section, and in addition to this honor, Carolina ia classed with Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt as the "Big Three" of the South. V. P. I. also finished the season without suffering defeat except at the hands of Centre, but the 7-7 tie with Davidson, a team that was later beaten by Carolina 29-6, places the Blacksburg outfit second best in South Atlantic circles. Georgetown and Navy are in the geo graphical division known as the South Atlantic states, composed of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and the Dis trict of Columbia. Both institutions had exceptionally strong teams, but as they did not play other elevens in this section, they cannot be considered as candidates for South Atlantic honors. By comparing the records of V. P. I. and Carolina it is obvious that the lat ter has a decided advantage over the other. The Virginians had to be con tented with a tie at Davidson, while the Wildcats were easily subdued by the Fetzer clan 29 to 6. Both elevens overwhelmed Maryland, but the Tar Heels ran up a larger score, using scrubs most of the time. The Blacksburg crew licked Hartsell's Wolf pack in a more decisive fashion than did the Univer sity, but it must be recalled that the Fair Week battle was Carolina's fourth game in thirteen days. The V. M. I. scores do not indicate much difference. The Cadets failed to cross V. P. I.'s goal line but scored a touchdown on the Tar Heels, thanks to Byder's intercep tion of a short pass which resulted in his 55-yard sprint. White's field goal was all that V. MC. I. could produce Thanksgiving and V. P. I. carried off (Continued on page three) ASHEVILLE AND NEW BERN HIGH SCHOOLS IN BATTLE The fourth annual Mary D. Wright Memorial debate which will be held in Gerrard hall tomorrow night promises to be a hotly contested affair. W. Dab ney. White and J. M. Saunders of the Phi wil uphold the affirmative, while L. T. Bledsoe and H. D. Duls of the Di will defend the negative of the query: "Resolved That the United States Railroad Labor Board be given the power to enforce its decisions." The affirmative will probably attack the present conditions of the railroad industrial situation, and advocate the granting to the board power to enforce its decisions. The negative will oppose the proposed plan from many angles, one of which will be that the granting of power to the board is simply putting compulsory arbitration into effect. The Mary D. Wright Memorial debate takes the place of the old junior inter society debate. It was established in 1919 by Mr. P. E. Wright, of Landis, in memory of his wife. A medal valued at $25 is offered each year to the best speaker on the winning team. Since the establishment of the debate the winners of the memorial medal have been as follows: 1919 T. C. Taylor, Di; 1920 C. L. Moore, Phi; 1921 V. V. Young, Phi. Intercollegiate Debating Will Re ceive All-University Support Program to Be Extended. ALL STUDENTS ELIGIBLE CAPTAIN PRITCHARD ENTERTAINS TEAM Captain Grady Pritchard entertained 18 members of the football squad at an informal supper at his home last Tuesday night at 6:30. Those enjoying Chnptain Pritchard 's hospitality were the team that started the Virginia game and Shepard, Lineberger, and Ford ham from the line, and Randolph, Spar row and Merritt of the backfield. Coach Bob Fetzer and Jimmy Ragsdale also were present. Debaters For Chain Contest Try Out E. L. MACKIE HEADS MATHEMATICS CLUB At the meeting of the Mathematics club Wednesday, November 29, at 206 Phillips hall, E. L. Mackie was elected president and E. T. Brown secretary of the club for the year. After the elec tion of officers Dr. J. W. Lasley pre sented a paper on "The Solution of General Cubic Equations," after which there was a discussion of the probloms of the department, and especially of the prize problems of last year. Three men and an alternate will be ehosen in the preliminaries tonight to represent the University in a series of chain debates which will be held in January. Tho competition for the de bate is very keen, about 12 men going out for it. The judges for the prelim inary will be Professor George McKie, Professor Murchison, of the school of commerce, and D. D. Carroll. The subject for the debate is: "Re solved, That the allied nations should release each other from al indebted nes incurred for tho purpose of carry ing on the World War." The Univer sity has tho negative, and the team ehosen Friday night will meet the af firmative teams of the University of South Carolina at Columbia, S. C, on tho night of January 11; Oglethorpe University in Atlanta on January 12, and the University of Alabama at Tus caloosa, Alabama, on January 13. The arrangement of chain debating is a new thing here. The large number of men going out for the debate, together with the large majority by which the debato bill was passed last week shows that the stu dent body is taking a groat interest in intercollegiate dobating this year. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1323 ANNOUNCED The final game in the state high school football series, between Asheville, west ern champions, and New Bern, eastern champions, which was scheduled for to morrow afternoon, has been postponed for one week and will be played Satur day, December 16. The reason for this action is on account of the recent dis astrous fire at New Bern, many of the players having been on guard duty for the past week and therefore not in good condition for the game. Both teams have come through the season without having been defeat ed, and the best high school football game of the year is expected. By defeating the fast Sanford team Saturday New Bern won the right to represent ,the East. The fact that they have scored 183 points to their oppon ents 6 shows that "Hap" Badin, a guard on the 1919 Carolina team, who is coaching the eastern eleven, has built up a team that is good both on offense and defense. The Asheville eleven is a heavy, fast stepping bunch, and has rolled up the total of 200 points to their opponents 20. The last obstacle in the West was removed Saturday when they romped on the powerful Monroe eleven 20 to 7.

DAI LATEST SCHOOL OF HUGH WALPOLE, NOVELIST Noted English Author Delivers Interesting Lecture on Novel Reading and Novel Writing. HEARD BY LARGE CROWD EIGHT EXPERTS HELP THE TAR HEEL TO PICK TEAM Athletic Reporter Submits Question to Vote of Well Known Coaches and Sport Writers. The annual fall dances at the Uni versity are always considered among the best in the South, and this year they came fully up to their established reputation. At first it was feared that because the Virginia game was to be played in Charlottesvillo it would ruin the Carolina dances and only a few would attend. This, however, was far from the truth. The dances were well attended and it is recorded in the an nals of frolic that quite a few "queens" did Chapel Hill honor as tho conquer ing heroes returned from the Old Do minion. The dances were given Decem ber 1 and 2. The Carolina club, successors and bet ters of the renowned Tar Baby Five are well worthy of high mention, for their music was exceptionally good and will remain a credit to them. It is said that they far excelled Weidermeyer's last appearance in Chapel Hill. Several of the players on this orchestra have time and again turned down offers to join orchestras of national fame, it is said. Of all the five dances given it would be hard to pick any one and say that it was the best. The German club dance Saturday night was the best attended. All of them had life, and a maximum of joy in evidence. Young ladies attended the dances from all over tho state, but the major ity of them were from the cast. Greens boro had a largo number present. Ral eigh, Charlotte, Wilmington and Dur ham were all well represented. Quite a largo number of out-of-state girls also attended. It is estimated that over 60 girls were on the Hill Friday and Saturday. With only two weeks until the Christ mas holidays, and examinations close (Continued on page three) The Tar Heel has succeeded in get ting eight of the best known coaches and sport writers in the South Atlan tic states to vote on an all-sectional team. This method of selecting a com posite eleven is more satisfactory than having one man who has probably seen only two or three teams in action, pick a mythical team based on newspaper reports. "Every important team in this region iiad been seen on the field by at least one of the voters in the All-South Atlantic selection printed above. "Red" Johnston, the flashy Caro lina halfback, was the only player to be chosen unanimously, although Tilson and Gettle, of V. P. I., received seven votes each. R. Morris, Hardwiek, Pritchard, Blount, and MeDonald were the choice of five voters. Captain Hall, of Virginia, was selected by four, and Arnold, his team-mate, camo next with threo votes. The voters differed wide ly on pne of the tackle positions but Hunt, of V. M. I.( received three votes and beat out Fenwick, who got only two. "Damu tho latest school of modern thought!" These wore the words used by Hugh Walpolo, English novelist, dur ing the course of a lecture before the University community Wednosday night in Memorial hall. Tho great British author thus expressed his opinion of the modern critics and all other "mod ern fanatics," while in the midst of bewailing the hardships tho present-day author undergoes. Mr. Walpolo 's lecture was the sec ond of the series arranged by the Uni versity lecture committee for tho cur rent year. It was heard by an appre ciative audience which filled Memorial hall to its capacity. The Britishor's address, intermingled with some very telling bits of humor, was well receiv ed by the students and townspeople. "Novel Roading and Writing" was the theme which Mr. Walpole selected to present before the studonts. The one chief characteristic he noted among present-day novel readers is a tondoncy to divide into the superior and the in ferior classes. Novels of genuine merit published today, thus, are not read by the roading public at largo, as were the books of Scott, Dickens, Tliackoray, and a later group of popular but classi cal authors. If continued in this man ner indefinitely in the future, the speak er predicted that novel reading will become a thing of the past, bocause treatises on sox and stories built around tho theories of psycho-analysis will pre dominate. The present-day novel writer would give an inestimable fortune to have lived ono hundred years ago, when there were no set theories or rules to bo fol lowed in the preparation of a novel, Mr. Walpole explained when making reference to tho art of novel writing. Tlioro aro too many rules, too many cranks to bo pleasod, too many critics of tho modern school of thought, in his (Continuod on page throe) Carolina Geologists Take Important Trip A trip to the coal mines nt Cumnock, near tho banks of tlio Deep River, was taken by 15 members of the geology department, Saturday before Thanks giving. Tho trip was taken for tho purposo of getting a better idoa of the coal resources of North Carolina, and of studying at first hand coal fossils and the way in which coul is mined. Fossils were brought back to Chapel Hill which are expected to be useful in determining the disputed ago of the coal beds, which are thought to belong either to tho Triassic or tho Permian age. Members of tho party report that the coal resources of tho state are far greater than is generally known, and prospects for the future development of the Cumnock mines are bright. The members of the party were Dr. W. F. Prouty, G. R. McCarthy, H. C. Amick, C. H. Walker, T. E. Powell, in structor in geology nt Elon College; E. C. Leonard, of the faculty of Bur (Continued from page three) Carolina Play Gets Run In New York "Off Nag's Head," Dougald MacMil lan's waird tragedy of tho Carolina coast, was presented last month at the Threshold Playhouse in Now York City. The play was well acted by a cast of Threshold players and was well re ceived during its run of threo weeks. This play will very likely be carried on the I'laymukcrs' tour of eastern North Carolina which occurs in Febru ary, since a serious play of this type is needed to givo much-needed con trast to tho program which will bo oth erwise rather sprightly. In that case it will bo handled by a veteran cast, including Elizabeth Taylor, Kathorine Batts, LuGrnndo Everett and George Denny. FIRST SHIPPING OFFENSE DEALT WITH BY COUNCIL DEVEREUX PLAYERS HERE The Clifford Devereux Players, who have formerly delighted Chapel Hill with the excellent performance of worth-while drama, present a pro gram of Shaw and Shakespeare in Memorial Hall this afternoon and evening. Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is the matinee; "Arms and the Man" by G. B. Shaw is the nightcap. Tho shipping machinery of the Uni versity student body was recently call ed into action for the first time this year; a student having been sent home for stealing. On the 25th of Novem ber an overcoat was missed from Swain Hall. A few days later, at the Carolina-Virginia game, a member of the sophomore class was seen snugly en sconced within the missing coat. Tho owner recognized the coat, and forced a showdown; at first the culprit waived the insinuation that he had stolen the coat, denied any double dealing, and claimed the coat as his own. But the rightful owner knew his coat by tho marks thereon, established his claim upon it to the satisfaction of the stu dent council, and the defendant con fessed. The thief wns soon advised by tho student council to seek other fields; lie left quietly. The owner has his coat, the honor of Carolina is vindicated, and the sin has been paid full wages; it is dead, and by-gone.
