Notwithstanding, along comes the season of 1923, following the most successful season in Carolina's history with all indications of another highly successful season, and the team has no coach, absolutely no coach what ever. We fail utterly to understand how such has come to pass. We are about to say that if we were skilled in the basketball tossing art and was a mem ber of this fine Carolina squad, we would almost be tempted to quit in disgust or else demand a coach and a good coach at that.

Jan. 9, 1923 No. 23 PAGE THE BASKETBALL COACH 'The opening of the basketball season was marked by a very fine performance on the part of the Carolina team, which promises to even better the brilient rec ord of last year, and by the absence in the University of a single man assigned the task of coaching this varsity team during the season. It is gratifying to see the team play ing so well this early in the season, and especially after having gone through the training period without a coach of any kind. But this gratification we feel is little consolation for the fact that the University be it the Gradu ate Manager of Athletics, the Athletic Council, cr whoever it is has not done its share, and is leaving the whole bur den of the basketball season on the squad of players. We were under the Impression that Coach Bill would be at the helm again this season, but we have been informed that he will not be here, and that the team seems to be left to its own salvation. Coach or no coach, this fine aggrega tion of basketball stars may go through the season, a la last year, like a bril liantly performing airplane, and bring home another cup from Atlrnta with divers other laurels; but if such is the case it will be a genuine surprise to the Tar Heel end we will file it away in our pet category of miracles. Not that the Tar Heel underestimates the basketball, material on the varsity squad, and not that we do not believe infinitely in every single player that . looks slated for a berth on the first five, but no team (barring, we state again, miracles), can play its best and give its finest performance, without a coach to guide and look after its wel fare. Some optimists may point to last season and say that Coach Bill, who had no experience as a basketball coach, was coach in name only, and the team virtually coached itself. It is undoubt edly true that Coach Bill had little to say, and probably spent little time in technical training, but we will wager today that the team played far better basketball than it would have played, had Coach Bill not been on the sidelines and accompanied them on the trips. He, at least, was there to always strengthen the morale of the team, and look after its every welfare. But we would say that even Coach An interesting letter appears in the open forum column of this issue, writ ten by the captain of the 1922 football eleven. The letter is doubly interesting to us because we have been thinking aWut the same matter a great deal lately. That is, the fact that the University has not been making full use of its great publicity opportunities. The ath letic successes of Carolina, for instance, which have been very numerous in the past few years, have not been given the publicity that they deserve, and which would prove such a fine adver tisement for the University. We know the job that this publicity business is, for last year we dabbled a bit in it, ourselves, and corresponded to a number of the state papers from Chapel Hill. A lot of the papers real ize what good advertisement all Uni versity dope is for the University, and hesitate filling their columns with too much of the dope sent out from here, because of this fact. But in this state, certainly, the Uni versity has been getting a liberal share of publicity. So far as we have been able to discover, however, the borders of this state is just where this publicity stops. Many other colleges, some of which are no larger than ours, send out news to the leading papers in other states and all states, as well as con stantly filing news despatches with the press syndicates. One often sees fea ture stuff from the University of Kala mazoo or the University of Sandy Crossing in papers that reach us right here in Chapel Hill. But how much of the very valuable news that come from the walls of our own University the CVnter football team of the same year. Those four teams combined got about one-fourth as much national pub licity as that one Center football team. I dare say that there are more people who kuow that a certain Chapel Hill 'ady called a Dago Prince a "dumb bell" ami that Prof. E. V. Howell's ted pig got out than there are who know that Carolina has two coaches who in one single year put out the four best athletic teams that ever represent ed the University. I believe this lack of publicity is costing us dearly, both by depriving us of credit for what has eben done and by failing to use our past suceess as a drawing card for the future and in the latter is where the greatest loss lies. Our future teams can't stand on the same level with the best of the coun try unless we draw the best material from the prep-schools and high schools, and we can't do that unless we put out enough publicity to let them know that we have the kinVl of coaches and a record that they will be proud to fight for. What are we going to do about it? GRADY PK1TCHAED. To the Editor of the Tar Heel: Will you be kind enough to publish the following and oblige? I trust that I shall not be misun derstood: my purpose, in writing this letter, is not to criticize any one; but only to remind those in charge of the welfare of the student body of the fact that they have forgotten to fulfill the second clause of the verbal contract made by the University and the stu dents; and in which the University agreed to provide each dormitory with a social room. The second clause, "The rooms shall be furnished by the University," is not in the contract, but it was implied. But I am wondering, Mr. Editor, why the University has failed to furnish these rooms: because of inability to buy tho furniture, or because of some other reason f Here on the campus we have more gets out over the other states withitlian uoo mea who tlo not bejonB t0 Chapel Hill date lines?

MORE PUBLICITY Editor, Tar Heel: - During the last football season T re ceived several inquiries from alumni and friends of the University as to why our athletics received no more out- of-state publicity. One of those in quiries came from a Carolina alumnus in an Alabama city ten days after the Thanksgiving game, asking whether or not we defeated Virginia. He said he was very much interested in Carolim but had been unable to keep in close touch with her because the papers in his state never mentioned our athletics It seems to me that Carolina has lost a very valuable asset by not taking advantage of the advertising that could have been had through publicity on her four 1922 championship teams. Those teams put Carolina on the athletic map, but how many people know it outside pf North Carolina and Virginia? The University has been satisfied, to confine her publicity to the state, and yet she wonders why she receives no through college, and who, when their work is over, have no place to go where they can spend a. few minutes without .any restraint or fear of bothering their room-mates. The Y. M. C. A. has a very good room on the first floor furnished through the efforts of the general secretary, but it is not large enough to accommodate 1700 men. What shall we do "visit our profs," as the 1920-21 Tar Heel suggests? How long, how long shall we cope with the situation? Is it nec essary to call on William Horner? For heaven's sake let us not have any more conferences; for the sake of the student bolv let lis furnish the rooms. Yours truly, (. 1).

IT was a cynic who said: "Some men go to college. Other men study." A slander ! But yet there probably are college men whose bills for midnight oil are not larc. And there are men who left school in t!:e lower grades who, along with a hard day's work, put in long hours of study spurred on by a dream and a longing. Look out for them. The achievements of non-college men in busi ness suggest an important fact. Success seems to depend, not so much on the place where a man studies, as on the earnestness of the student. But, grant ing equal earnestness and ability, it is still true that the college man has the advantage. Regular hours for study and lecture, the use of library and laboratory, the guidance of professors, contact with men of the same age and iisp:r:;t Inns all these will count in his favor, if he urt.Ai.i t'.c most of litem.

With my heart all in a flutter, I lay down in the gutter, And a pig came up and lay down by my side. While I lay there in the gutter, With my heart all in a flutter, A lady passing by was heard to say: "You can tell a man that boozes By the company he chooses," And the pig got up and slowly walk ed away.

" Whv did you pull it down!" The boy looked at him for a few mo mcnts. Pity for the man's ignorance was expressed on his face, Then he spoke, and his reply was short but to the point: "Why?" he said.
