NUMBER 58
JOHNS HOPKINS
WINS DECISION
Annual Triangular Debate Is
Won by Visitors.
FINAL COUNT IS 2 TO
Question of Recognition of Russian
Government Discussed.
Julius Hopkins University wdh a two-
one decision over the University of
North Carolina on Thursday evening in
Gerrard J lull in the annual triangular
debate. The question under discussion
was' the recognition of the Russian So
viet Government by-, the United States,
The negative, upheld by Johns Hopkins,
and backed by public opinion, won.
The tlebate was attended by a very
small, yet seemingly interested audience.
This fact brought out the observation
from several of the older men present
that this was far different from debates
of several years ago, when not only was
, Gerrard Hall filled to standing room but
people were on the outside looking in
through the windows. :. :. j.
The debate itself was very Interesting
at times, while at others it tended to be
come somewhat vague in character, there
was a noticeable lack of concrete discus
sion; especially when Malcolm Young
tried to show that at the present Russia
cannot have any obligation to repudiate,
since a government that does not exist
, naturally can have no obligations, and
when the United States does not recog
nisse Russia we say that legally the Soviet
Government of Russia does not exist,
Ben Eaton opened the debate for
Carolina and the affirmative with the
statement that the Soviet Government of
Russia has been in existence for eight
years and has weathered one of the worst
crises in Russian history, and therefore,
. actually exists. "Recognition does not
mean approval". In the past the United
States has recognized governments hat
have repudiated debts. As time legal
izes illegitimate revolutionary govern
ments, it has been our traditional policy
to have "recognition de facto" rather
than "recognition de jure". Thus by not
recognizing Russia, we are daily violat
ing our whole foreign poliey. - The
comity of nations demands that we rec
ognize Russia; 21 nations, including all
the major world powers, have recog-
nited the Soviet Government. Can the
United States continue to say: Russia,
you are not there"? '
Joel I. Seidman, of Johns Hopkins,
was the opening negative speaker, and
opposed recognition on the ground that
it would be detrimental to the United
States, to Russia, and to international re
lations. He declared it was the tradi
tional policy of this nation since the
Civil War to recognize only governments
that were willing to assume their inter
national obligations. He showed that
loans were made to a people through
, their existing government, and therefore
the Soviet Government has repudiated
legitimate loans to the Russian people.
Recognition of this government would
only tend to promote other similar acts

STUDENTS LIKE COLLINS
New Assistant Coach Win Admiration
Of Pupils.
Winter football at Carolina has as
sumed an aspect entirely new. '
For two weeks the' coaches have had
three and sometimes four full teams
riming plays on the freshman field. Sev
eral dummies have joined the list of
invalids as a result of fierce onslaughts
y backs and linesmen, and there might
s well be snow on the ground so far
as the millnge of the line is concerned.
Interest manifested in the practices
first became general when, following
many suggestions, a plan , was inauga
rated which called for a division of the
candidates into "A" and "B" squads, each
f equal strength. The scrimmages and
rivalry between these two factions have
hecotne extremely fierce, and the melees
which occur almost daily draw large
numbers of spectators to the side-lines
of the field.
During the recent spell of wet weather
.the lectures in Murphy Hall auditorium
were novelized with the advent of coach
"Clmch" Collins, former stellar flank
man of the Notre Dame line which
served as driving reins for the famous
'our horsemen.
The talks delivered by the new grid
iron mentor from the mid-west contained
many points both new and explanatory,

The Tar Heel boxing team this week visited the Old Dominion State where they met two of the neighboring state's teams. They encountered the Uni
versity of Virginia team on Tuesday night and the P. I. Gobblers on Friday night, and made a creditableshowing against both teams. For the
first time in the history of the University boxing was made a letter sport this year and under the competent supervision of Coach Crayton Itowe the
team has made splendid progress. Two years ago the first attempt was made to get boxing started. The first meet was with Fort Bragg in which
the soldiers won easily from the Hillians. From then on the sport found instant favor with the student body. The leatherpushers met several of the
best college teams in tfiis section and came out well in the competition. Coach Rowe built his team, this year around two of the old men. Captain
Warren in the light-heavy class, and Proffitt in the middleweight class were the only men from last year's team to make the trip to Virginia. The
other men who were on the squad which toured Virginia are Bbbbitt, bantamweight, Shaw, featherweight, Tenney. lightweight, Butler, welter
weight, and G. Shuford, heavyweight. Reading from left to right in the picture the men on the squad are as follows: Front row Butler, G.
Shuford, Captain Warren, Proffitt, and Jenkins. Second row Bobbitt, Shaw, Tenney, A. Shuford, and Jarrell. Back row Coach Rowe and

People of. the State Want. Dr. Chase
to Remain Here.
Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase returned
to Chapel Hill Wednesday night from
Oregon, where he viewed at first hand
the offer of the presidency of the Pacific
Coast University. He was not expected
until Thursday) so his return' came as
something of a surprise.
While in the west Dr. Chase payed
short visit to the University of Cali
fornia. From there he went to Los An
geles, from whence he began his return
trip home. He reports an excellent trip
but further information is not forthcom
ing from the president. . He does' say,
however, that there has been no time
limit placed on his decision. He says
that lie. will have his answer ready in a
few days. The full board of trustees will
meet in Raleigh on March 2 to hear the
report of the committee which was ap
pointed to confer with Dr. Chase In re
gard to his resignation. It is highly
probable that the president's decision
will be known before then.
Since his departure the people of the
state have made it known in no-uncertain
tones that they would like to have Dr.
Chase retain his position at the"' Univers
ity of North Carolina. First the fac

The Tar Heel boxing team .dropped
its opening meet of the season Tuesday
night , at Charlottesville to the veteran
University of Virginia aggregation,
taking the 'small end of a 5 to 2 count
after a series of hard fought battles.
The match was much harder fought than
the score indicates, the Catulicrs being
pushed to their utmoslr every con
test, two of which wenrf on extra period
before a decision could be rendered,
one by the judges and the other by the
referee. Warren and Shuford both won
their bouts on knock-outs while Butler
was given a draw by the judges, after
four rounds of fighting, only to have the
referee decide in favor of Virginia.

Who said that the Phi Assembly was
dead? No matter, his statement was dis
proved on last Tuesday night when
twelve men entered the preliminaries for
one debate, this being the annual Fresh
Soph inter-society debate. The large
number was an added feature slnce mem
bers of the upper classes were prohibited
from, participation.
Tlic query is Resolved, That the gov
ernor of North Carolina should have the
veto power over legislation. In the many
prepured speeches for all of those try
ing out hardly a single tiling was re
peated by any contestant that had been
previously spoken. - It is thought that
this was due to the lack of definite mate

"Black And White" Set s
Merited Precedent Here
BELDING CHOSEN
TO COACH HERE
University of Iowa Star Made
Assistant Football Coach.
NOW COACH AT CLINTON
More Additions Will Be Made to Pre
sent Staff.
. By Bill Board
Black and White, original revue
"written, directed and staged by Kike
Kyser," has added a new chapter to
theatrical, history at Carolina, and still
there art hot afternoons in Montana.
Which means that, all things being equal
and times . Square five hundred miles
away, the show was a wow.
Poor old coflin-shaped Memorial Hall
makes a dismal theatre. With its level
floor, back-breaking benches, poor acous
tics, makeshift stage, and Jerrible lights
ing facilities, it kills about thirty-five
per cent of the effectiveness of any show
at the very outset. But with all these
handicaps Black and White managed to
open with a bang and to maintain in
terest at un unusually high level until
the superb finale. There were few dull
spots in the show, which is about as
much as can be said for a production
of this sort.
The usual rough spots attendant upon
opening night were observable but not
oppressive, and the program as a whole
was well balanced. . The lighting"at times
was very poor, but this was due, we
think, more to the fact that, adequate
lighting can be obtained in this barn
only at prohibitive cost rather than
any poor handling of the equipment on
hand. As it was, entirely too much de
pendence had to be placed on Inade
quate spotlights many yards away from
the stage. And by all means the next
piece of backstage equipment acquired
by Kike should be a set of Mexim sil
encers; at least he should grease the
pjilleys and provide the stage crew with
rubber shoes.
Out front the show was several times
blessed in listing as attractions the girls,
good clog dancing, fair signing, "Bozy"
Horton, Hooney Boone, and Kike Kyser
in the orchestra pit; these made the
show. The girls added immensureably
and we suggest that it will be a dis
tinct error for any organization to pre-

ANNUAL INTRA-MURAL
TRACK MEET MARCH 8
The Flying Phantoms left . this week
for Atlanta in search of a third straight
Southern Championship In basketball.
I hey go to the Tournament this time
leaving behind them a fine record for
games won and lost in the regular
scheduled games of the season. Their
record for this season does not equal
that of the 1924 quint, the team that
went through the season without a defeat
before or during the tournament, but
they have played out a. hard schedule
this year, and their record shows 10
wins against 5 losses.
Whether liey can continue the preced
ent set by the Tar Heel teams of the
last two seasons and bring back the
rournament title to be seen, but they
deserve all honor for the record they
have already made. The team started
the year without a coach, but Coach
Sanhurn, former Woodbury Forest men
tor took charge of the squad early after
the Christmas hollduys. With four let-
termen to build around he Immediately
began molding the tem that has met
the best teams the South and East can
offer. ' ''-.
Captain Bill Dodderer, Jack Cobb,
Billy Devin and Bunn Hackney were th
four old players to return, and In addi
tion there were several men from the
1923 senilis and freshmen quints. "Red"
Barber, Bob Sides and Billy Harvell
were the men from the scrubs to return,
while from Coach "Pop" Shepherd's
Tur Baby five came Vangtory, , New-
comh, Morris and Perkins.' " '
From this crew of prospects the. new
mentor got together a group, of players
that began their season In the usual
successful manner with the Durham Y.
M. C. A. fives. - The Tar Heels won both
contests by good scores. The first game
was in Durham and wus taken by the
Carolina outfit by the count of 2 to 35,
with Bunn Hackney leading the scoring
for the Tar Heel quint. Juck Cobb
struck his stride in the return game with
the "Y" five and shot IB points for the
Phantoms' il to 1 win. '
Wofford, Clemson and Guilford then
fell before the onxloughts of the Caro
lina tossers on successive nights on the
Tin Can floor. The Wofford terriers
were put away by the count of 41 to 23,
the Clemson Tigers were buried under
the overwhelming score of 50 to 20, while

Purpose of Debate Council To Raise
Existing Debating Standards.
In the February Alumni Review, J. F.
Cooper, well known Carolina debator and
member of the Carolina team that
recently met debaters from Oxford on
the subject of the World Court, .writes
an interesting letter in which he gives his
Impression of the event in which the
Carolinians lost by an overwhelming
vote of the audience, Mr. Cooper sayg
that the contest was not truly a great
debate and that though the Englishmen
did excel in delivery, the Tar Heels were
well ahead In the organized proof given.
He adds that the contest furnished a
mirror for the campus, and that it 1c the
purpose of the Debate Council to raise
the now existing standards. The letter
is as follows:
Editor Tun Kevikw: .. .
As a member of the Debate Council
and as one of Carolina's speakers In the
Carolina-Oxford debate, I wish to give
you my impressions of the event and
its significance to me. Yet, although
many oPcur in the sentiments here ex
pressed, I do not claim that this criti
cism is official or that it represents the
feeling of the student body.
The contest was not truly a great de
bate. Our men did not make a splendid
showing. But such statements is". . .
