Number 22
FIRST WRESTLING ITCH
IS DEFEAT FOR CAROLINA
AND VICTORY FOR TRINITY
Captain Midgett Stars for Meth
odists But Loses to Poin
dexter on Points.
THE FINAL SCORE IS 23-8
The University's first intercollegiate
wrestling match ended in a defeat by
Trinity, 23 to 8, before a good crowd
in the Bynum gymnasium last Tuesday
night. Midgett, captain of the Trinity
team, was the star of tho evening, en
gaging the throe heaviest Carolina con
testants, throwing two of them, and
only losing to the third on points.
In the 119 pound class, Hardaway of
Trinity threw Schwartz in 6 1-2 min
utes. In tho 129-pound class, Daniels
of Trinity won from Hagan on points.
In the 139 pound class, May of Trin
ity threw Viek in 4 minutes. In the
149-pound class, Mathewson won five
points for Carolina by throwing Harrell
in 5 minutes. In the 162-pound class,
Midgett of Trinity threw Waters in 5
minutes. Midgett also threw Fowler,
175-pound class, in 6 minutes. In the
unlimited-weight class, Poindexter won
3 points for Carolina by winning from
Midgett on points.
Baily, Trinity's coach, and A. A. Sha
piro, Carolina coach, were referees. The
time of the periods was nine minutes.
Wrestling has been established here
through Dr. Lnwson and Mr. Shapiro,
who hope to make it a letter sport. The
schedule has not been definitely arrang
ed, but teams throughout the Carolinas
and Virginia have been approached.
No captain has yet been elected for
the team. The proceeds from the match
will be used in buying uniforms.
Flu Epidemic Not
Cause For Alarm
During the past two weeks the spread
of a mild type of influenza has caused
some little comment. A few cases of
this "flu" have been cared for at tho
infirmary each week since the fall quar
ter opened.
Dr. Aberuethy says that there is no
reason for alarm, as the "flu" differs
greatly from that which swept the coun
try in 1918. The usual case only has
to stay in bed for 48 hours. The only
danger is when some one tries to fight
the disease by keeping up and at work.
By doing this a mild case of "flu"
may be changed into a serious case of
pneumonia. Ordinary care, with suffi
cient exercise and sleep, should be
enough protection.
Only sixteen cases of "flu" have
been cared for in the infirmary in the
past week; there are eleven down with
it at present. One case of pneumonia
has been recorded.
Cross Country Run
Goes to N. C. State
By taking secoud, third, and fourth
places, the X. C. State team emerged
victors irt the second annual intercol
legiate cross country run here Saturday
afternoon. First place went to Ran
son of Carolina who led the field over
practically all of the three-mile run and
finished at least 50 yards ahead of his
nearest competitor. State scored nine
points, Carolina 13, Davidson 34, and
Trinity was ruled out because only two
men entered the race.
Of tho sixteen men in the race six
represented Carolina, four were from
State, three from Davidson, and two
from Trinity. It was agreed that only
tho first three on each team would be
allowed to score. Tho six Carolina men
wore Hanson, Parker, Fowler, Wells,
Keslor and Milstead.
BAND HAS BECOME
VERY MUCH ALIVE
There is an activity on the campus
which has already demonstrated to the
student body that it is very much alive.
That is tho band. Since the band has
been under the active leadership of
Mr. Sheldon it has progressed very rap
idly. At a meeting for re-organization Mon
day night the following officers were
elected: Business manager, F. Spaught;
assistant manager, M. K. Hearue; sec
retary, Pickett; librarian, Hal Kemp;
assistant librarian, W. F. Pfohl. Among
the plans for the coming year better
organization, more members and the
playing of concert music are most predominant.
BUSINESS MANAGER
RESIGNS
L. J. Brody, business manager of
tho Tar Heel, has resigned, effective
with the first issue of the new year.
Too much work is the reason Brody
assigns for his action, stating that
he wishes to put more time to his
studies and the management of the
Boll Weevil. Beginning with the
first issue in January, T. F. Cheese
borough, a member of the advertis
ing staff,, will become business man
ager of the Tar Heel.
SWAIN HALL WILL HAVE
SERVICE MUCH IMPROVED
Ten Men to Table Instead of Eighteen
Waiters Will Pay a Third
of Their Board.
After Christmas the style of service
at Swain Hall is going to undergo a
radical change, according to an an
nouncement just out. The tables of
eighteen men are to be reduced to ta
bles of ten men, and the food is to be
carried to the vicinity of the table by
large wheeled carts, instead of by hur
rying waiters, as now. The waiters are
to have two tables of ten men each,
instead of the present table of eighteen
men.
The management of Swain Hall has
long felt the need of some means of
improving the service. It has been the
aim of the management to make Swain
hall a gentleman's boarding house, rath
er than a mere beanery, and it is with
this in view that the newest reform
has been planned. The group of ten
around a small table, it is felt by the
management, will be far more congen
ial and conducive to good fellowship
t! an the present system. A boarder
will get to know his fellows who eat
at the table with him, conversation will
:low more freely, and a clique may be
more easily formed.
One disadvantage of the system to
be jut into effect is that each student
waiter will have two tables, or twenty
men, instead of the present eighteen at
one table. He will be able to take care
of these men because he will be as
sisted by the wheeled carts. This sys
tem will lessen the number of self-help
men who earn their board by working
at Swain Hall, to some extent. The
managers of Swain Hall have been un
willing to drop any men from their list,
and so they have worked out .1 system
in which the present number of men
will be retained, but only on part time
work, each man paying as much as a
third of his board.
Some little saving will thus be made
by the Swain Hall management, and it
is intended that anything saved in this
way shall go into the giving of better
food to the boarders.
Koch Gives Lecture
On Folk Playmaking
(From The Pennsylvanian)
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Frederick
H. Kock lectured before a large gath
ering of the Arts Association in 200
College Hall, on Folk Playmaking. Mr.
Koch, who has done much in develop
ing amateur productions in North Da
kota and Xorth Carolina, showed many
pictures of open air theaters aud am
phitheaters and outlined their advan
tages. His sliiles made of the Shakespearian
interpretations and scenes taken of pro
ductions in Xorth Dakota were espe
cially interesting to the audience when
he told that these people had 111 many
instances never seen a play of Shake
speare's. However, he brought out
that tho play whose subject was of a
local nature took better, but that all
plays produced under such circumstances
were already paying for themselves.
Mr. Koch's lecture gave many hints
to anyone who aspires to writing of a
dramatic nature. He believes that in
giving the natural talent of the coun
try, however crude it may be, a chance
for expression, some great dramatist
may be discovered. In order to carry
out this plan he proposes the establish
ment of theaters at all state universi
ties, where amateur plays may be produced.
Election of football captains by- the
various colleges and universities for the
1923 gridiron campaigns discloses an
unusual preponderance of linemen chos
en as field leaders. While a number of
colleges have delayed selecting new
leaders, a list of 36 embracing the
South, East and Middle West shows 2fi
linemen and 12 backs elected.
"GIVE THE SCRUBS CREDIT' SAYS
COACH BOB FETZER IN INTER VIEW7
Coaches Are Appreciative of Great Work of Second String Men
"They Get the Bumps" Well Satisfied With Wonderful Season,
Letter of Appreciation Is Sent to Members of the Squad.
"The coaches wish to express their
most sincere thanks and appreciation,
of the faithful work and loyal devo
tion of the second team men or scrubs,"
stated Coach Bob Fetzer in an inter
view, commenting on the recent very
successful football season, and bring
ing out a point that is generally over
looked by the student body and foot
ball fandom as a whole when singing
their praises for the varsity over the
glory of victory.
"In our coaching experience we have
never had a more eager, earnest, and
willing squad of second string men,"
he went on to say. "They are the truly
great, for they gave freely of their
ability and worked faithfully for the
success of the varsity,-whose glory they
are seldom allowed to share."
Coach Fetzer declared that, in ath
letics, as in all phases of life, there is
always a story of struggle and hard
work, and he asserted that the brilliant
record made by the Carolina football
eleven this fall could not have been,
had every man on the squad not done
his best and exerted his utmost.
"After all," he said, "it is the
scrubs that get the bumps and are the
backbone of the team, and yet never
receive the proper credit. Only those
on the inside know the true value of
this all-important portion of the foot
ball squad, and it is in the hope of di
recting some small part of the praise
for our glorious season to these second
team men, and in an effort to make
them feel that they had a real part in
making the season such a splendid suc
cess, that I give out this statement."
Coach Fetzer seemed mighty well
satisfied with the outcome of the sea
son, and thinks that prospects for next
year's team are exceedingly bright. He
is anxious that the student body re
spond in whole hearted spirit and co
operation the remainder of the year in
order that in the other branches of
sport Carolina will be able to come
through with colors flying.
An expression of appreciation from
the coaches for the work of the squad
is embodied in a letter sent to each
member by Coach Bob Fetzer. It reads
as follows:
"December 12, 1922.
"The 1922 Football Squad,
"Chapel Hill, X. C.
"As a member of the 1922 varsity
football squad, you have just finished
one of the most successful seasons in
the history of the University, and have
had a real part in establishing a name
and record that will live and grow
brighter long after your football togs
have molded and been added to the
scrap heap.
"The record of the 1922 season has
been made and closed forever, but the
spirit that made such an enviable rec
ord possible has only reached its in
fancy. While your physical deeds are
done for this year, and while some of
yen will never appear again to cham
pion the name of U. X. C, all of you
have a wonderful and glorious oppor
tunity to keep alive, to nourish and
foster, by your words and deeds, that
indomitable spirit that has been the
backbone of your success, and that
should characterize every athletic team
that represents the University in fu
ture yean.
"As on the football field you have
refused to acknowledge defeat, and
have responded unflinchingly to every
call for service and sacrifice, so let
each and every one of you register a
solemn promise to do your part to main
tain and develop at the University a
spirit that recognizes and rewards ser
vice, that subordinates self; a spirit
that makes possible the blending of all
into one harmonious unit; a spirit that
is generous and liberal to our rivals
and sportsmanlike to the very core; a
spirit that values effort above scores,
that glories in victory only as a re
ward of conscientious and persistent
effort, and accepts defeat with quiet
determination to profit by it and do
better next time.

IS
OF POETRY COMMITTEE
Movement on Foot to Organize Poetry
Society in North Carolina Much
Interest Being Shown.
To cultivate intelligent appreciation
for poetry and to encourage the writ
ing of verse in the state of Xorth Car
olina, are the two underlying purposes
of a poetry society which is now in
process of organization in this state.
A meeting was held last week in
Raleigh nt the offices of the Historical
Association, to perfect preliminary or
ganization of this society. It was at
tended by twelve persons who are en
thusiastic over the prospect. At this
meeting it was decided to present a
petition to the State Library and His
torical Association asking the president
of that body to appoint an organization
committee. This was done, and the
following committee was appointed:
C. A. Hibbard, Chapel Hill, chairman;
Nell Battle Lewis, Raleigh; Roger Mc
Cutchen, Wake Forest; X. I. White,
Durham, and Gerald Johnson, of Greens
boro. The purpose of this committee
will be to investigate the sentiments
of the people throughout the state. If
interest develops, and it, is thought
that it will another meeting will be
held next year. By thus beginning at
the bottom and working up, the com
mittee hopes to build up a strong sup
port for this much-needed institution.
It was also decided that cash prizes
should be given to writers of good po
ems in the state.
GUILFORD CLUB MEETS
The Guilford County club met in the
club room at the Y. M. C. A. on Mon
day night, December 11, with an at
tendance of 21 members. Since this
was the first meeting of the year, tho
club was organized and officers elected.
C. C. Fordham was elected president,
William Hunt vice president, and J. B.
Fordham secretary, treasurer and press
reporter. It was decided that the club
should have a smoker after the Christ
mas holidays and a committee was ap
pointed to make arrangements for it.
After a short discussion of the objects
aud aims of the club, the meeting was
adjourned.
NEW L
ITS
First Issue Made Very Favorable Im
pression in Legal Circles Three
More Issues Scheduled.
(By M. R. KITCHIN)
The second issue of the Xorth Caro
lina Law Review made its appearance
on the campus Tuesday. This is tho
first number this year to appear, and
other numbers are to follow in Janu
ary, April aud June, respectively. Al
though the appearance was later than
schedule time called for, the Review
staff cannol bo blamed, as the type of
work presented will not bear hurry, and
first issues of new publications are pro
duced under many handicaps. The at
tractively shaded pearl-grey cover, with
contents listed on the front cover, is
pleasing and attracitve to the layman
eye. The Review announces its mem
bership in "The University of Xorth
Carolina Press," a non-profit corpora
tion controlling all University publica
tions, of which L. R. Wilson is presi
dent and Louis Graves is secretary. It
is to be hoped that the deplorable fail
ure that existed last year in not having
a sufficiency of copies published will
not bo duplicated this year. The Re
view announces demands as still com
ing in for tho first issue, which are un
able to be met.
Under the heading, "Articles," an
article on the child labor problem dis
cussing the difficulty met with in se
curing national law on this social prob
lem is presented by Thomas R. Powell,
of Columbia. "Special Tax School Dis
tricts in Xorth Carolina," by A. C. Mc

Carolina will play tho first basket
ball game of the season tomorrow night
when Captain McDonald's team meets
the Durham Y. M. C. A. on the latter 's
floor. The Blue and White quint is in
splendid shapo for tho contest which
should be one of the hardest fought
games on the schedule.
The varsity line-up will be "Sam"
McDonald and Green, forwards; Carmi
chael, center; . Mahler and Xeiman,
guards. "Monk" McDonald will not
be out until after the holidays, and in
the meantime "Cart" Carmichael, 1922
captain, will lead the team.
Durham Y. M. C. A. has another
strong quintet on the floor this year.
Although the loss of Leo Mangum will
be felt considerably, the supply of stel
lar material on the "Y" squad has not
been exhausted by any means. Star
ling, a former Trinity forward, "Sis"
Perry, Knight, Heflin, and Jess Erwiu,
an old Carolina guard, are known all
'over the state as players of moro than
ordinary ability.
In 1921 Carolina defeated tho Dur
ham outfit 22 to 15 and 44 to 25. Last
year the "Y" basketoers turned the
tables on Coach Fetzer 's five and won
both contests, 46 to 25 and 41 to IS.
It is now Carolina's turn to be vic
torious and the present team appears
to be equal to the task of "bringing
home tho bacon."

Holt Scholarships
Are To Be Awarded
Applications for the Lawrence S.
Holt, Jr., scholarships should be made
to the President and must be on file in
the office of the President by the 2dth

first time. They are worth one hundred
and twncty-five dollars each, and are
given one to some member of each of
.the four academic classes.
The awarding of the scholarships is
in the hands of n special committee,
and the basis on which awards are made
are: (1) need of financial assistance,
(2) record as a self-help student, (3)
committee's estimate of the applicant's
worth and promise, and (4) scholar
ship. Letters of application should be fram

PEESIDENT CHASE BETTEE
President Chase, who has been con
fined to his homo for several days on
account of an attack of flu, is very
much improved and will be out again

When tho Ashevillo High school foot
ball team, western champions, and the
Xew Bern nigh school, winners in the
east, lock horns on Emerson field to
morrow afternoon in the bout that will
decide the state high school champion
ship in football, the final curtain will
be rung down on the 1922 football sea
son so far as Chapel Hill is concerned.
This game was scheduled to have beon
played Saturday, December 9, but a
number of the Xew Born players were
doing guard duty in tho fire-ravaged
district of Xew Bern and wero not in
shape to play a championship game.
The local interest is nt a high pitch,
and judging from reports sent out from
the rival camps there will be large del
egations on hand from both towns to
cheer their favorites to victory.
Both teams have gone through the
season without suffering a defeat. Since
the elimination series started Ashevillo
has forqod Salisbury, Charlotte and
Monroe to bite the dust in three suc
cessive games. In tho oast, Xew Born
has won from Washington, Wilmington,
Rocky Mount and Sauford in hard
fought games. In the opinion of those
in charge of tho elimination scries the
contestants have displayed a better
brand of football than over in the past.
This is the ninth time since 1913 that
the high schools of tho state have play
ed for the state championship. Raleigh
High school won the first championship
in 1913 when they defeated Washington
and Wilmington, the only other entries
that year. In 1914 they wero again
victorious. This time thoy took the
measure of Ashevillo in tho final game.
In 1915 they wero winners for tho third
time. Chnrlotto was defeated in tho
deciding contest. In both the 191lj and
1917 seasons Charlotte captured state
honors, winning from Chapel Hill both
years. Chapel Hill carried off honors
in 1919 and 1920, beating Greensboro
in 1919 and Monroe in 1920. Last year
Fayettevillo won the state titlo whon
the Winston-Salem Highs went down
in defeat in tho final game.
The Ashevillo team is under tho di
rection of Coach Fryc, while Xew Bern
is coached by Bardin, Hardy and Harrell.

RELIEF WORK HERE
FOR NEW BERN FOLKS
The X'ew Bern relief work is pro
gressing rapidly. Mrs. W. S. Bernard,
as chairman of the relif committee of
the Community club, is receiving the
contributions from the University and
all organizations of the town. The club
is canvassing the whole town, having
a representative for each neighborhood.
Up to Sunday afternoon Mrs. Bernard
had received two truck loads of cloth
ing from tho University and many
boxes and barrels from tho town.
The Chapel Hill school donated $27
in money, which, added to that which
had been collected from the Univer
sity, brings tho money to something
over $30. The churches of the town
took up a collection Sunday night which
is expected to raise tho money to about
50. The work is still progressing rap
idly, shoes, hats and clothing coming in
regularly.
