, CdNCEriNING MUD !
"A two-day rain inmost places is a
blessing, but, in Chape Hill it means
mud and misery! The eentle rain
falleth steadily and the campus is
converted into a great swamp, dotted
here and there with a few lakes. Mud
is rather hard on newly polished
shoes, long skirts, and frail' eoratitu"
tibns, and is not .pretty to look at.
. We don't know enough about Engi
neering, Geology," or whatever the
situation calls for to suggest a plan
for. a mudless campus,: but we are
confident the University, could pro
vide a drainage, system. If money is
to be spent for campus beautiful pur
poses, a slice of it could well be f pent
in eliminating an ugly nuisance. .. At
present there is a healthy f ', young
lake near Murphey building, the re
sult of a two, day rain... If something
isn't done to drain this lake, soma
day an unfortunate: student will slip
from the board walk and be drowned.
With continued rain, the board walk
will break, np into a number of rafts,
float away, and Murphey building wiJJ
be isolated. If a drainage system is
impossible, we. demand a bridge.
CAPTAIN MATTHEWS
In the final fade-out of the football
season. Pierce Matthews, ' of 'Ashe-'
ville, was entrusted with the, leader
ship of the 1921 football team. His
electi.n by the men who have played
with him nnd.have come to know his
qualities for the captaincy is the best
recommendation he can receive. Un
der the Fetzer brothers he has de
veloped into an aggressive, slashing
tackle , witn . thorough knowledge of
the fundamentals of football. Xot a
heavy man for a linesman, lie has
more than held his own against bulk
ier opponents by his speed,, grit, and
headwork. Especially this I season has
his work stood out prominently, and
has attracted the attention of lradmg
sport writers in the tate who una!
mously chose him for ho all-state
' team. " " ' '"' '' ''' ";:
When all is said and done, there is
no office on the campus so envictf nnd
respected as the captrfi..cy of the
football team: Phf Beta' Kappa gfu.'
dents, class presidents, student body
presidents, and editors of the pub
lications, if given the oportcnify to
swap places with the football leader,
would undoubtedly accept.' We'll wa'g
er that even many methodical and
pedantic professors would sacrifice
their knowledge and position for the
glory and physical development that
the football captain possesses. Foot
ball captains are not perfect often
they are weak on grey matter, poor
church members, and of erratic temperament,-
but they are bound to pos
sess the three qualities most admired
by men strength, courage, and lead
ership ability. ,
' : Matthews has 'fought hjs way up
persistently for three years, and has
won his position througn merit. With
the wealth of material available for
next year, he should be tfie strong
leader of a strong team.
SHERWOOD EDDY
DR. SHEPHERD
The University is rarely favored
with two prominent speakers in one
week,' bbtti outstanding men in their
particular fields. -Sherwood Eddy and
Dr. Shepherd present, a striking con
trast in appearance, delivery, and the
messages they bring here. The for
mer Is a dynamic, forceful .orator,
who sweeps his audience with his elo
quence and.' passionate- appeal. He
is a 'prtictcal' idealist, presenting a
gripping picture of the chaos in Eu
rope and . Asia, urging. richj Amerira
to assume the moral leadership' in the
international problems by joining the
League of Nations.
' Dr. Shepherd is the true scholar,
calm, precise, a master of his sub
ject due to his years of research and
study, with an easy, impressive de
livery and a delightful dry humor.
His speech brought to light condi
tions in that part of the globe Mr.
Eddy . left out South America. In
discussing a union of nations, he
pointed to the results of the recent
war, and stafed that such a union
is "too nebulous for discussion."
Both men, however., hit nnon the
same theme, approaching it from dif
ferent angles that the United States,
the most powerful of nations, is sat
isfied with its own power, and does
not want to become involved ii en
tanglements that might. l?sen its
strength. Mr. Eddy and Dr. Shep
herd brought surprising farts in their
individual way to the students, falls
lhat.'prbmote thought, ant.that made
them realize that there is something
going on beyond the little world of
Chapel Hill. "" ; ,'

CHARLOTTE-SANFORD MEET

Charlotte won the championship in

points determining the highest
individual scorer in all intra
mural athlettics or the year will
be kept in order to determine
who shall win the sweater offer
ed by Pritchard-Patterson Co.
to the highest scorer.
About one hundred forty men
ran in the cross-country. . There
have been six games a week in
tag football. - Due to the various
changes in the personnel of the
teams it is estimated that at
least two hundred and fifty men
have taken part in tag football.
There have been ten teams in
the pushball series,' so that
something like two hundred or
two hundred and twenty-five
men have taken part in pushball.
This makes a total of some
where ' around five hundred,
counting out all , the second
counts of men who took part in
more than one series, and who
have taken part in intra mural
'athletics during this quarter. It

first trophy ever awarded in North
Carolina for the collegiate football
champions.
