STAFF An announcement was made last week of the signing of Coaches Col- lins and Cernay, former Notre Dame football stars, as members of the University coaching .staff. Coach Belding was recently signed to aid in football and several other sports. This year also marked the coming of Coach Quinlan to handle wrestling Coach Rowe for boxing and Coach Sanburn for basketball. 'Duke' Dun can is now actively at work on the baseball team. ' The employment of such a large : group of coaches is a new departure from Carolina's former policy of having one or two coaches to handle all sports. The enlargement of the staff has come suddenly. Perhaps memories of Major Boye, who coached basketball here during the war and put the University on the cage map to stay for years after . he had left, has induced the athletic committee to gather together men who are experts in their branch of the sports world., - As long as the University partici pates in inter-collegiate sports, it should go into them whole-heartedly. The work being done by the athletic commitee' indicates that it is deter mined to build up a thoroughly com petent coaching staff and will give the men who take part in varsity sports the benefit of training equal to that obtainable elsewhere. recent consideration of, the Oregon offer to have been "nauseating", and he desires to put what he considers to be the trutli before the people. Since this campus is so well ac quainted with the University and Dr. Chase, it behooves us to wonder if there are any here who knowing from first-hand experience the true conditions in Chapel Hill, feel them selves likewise " nauseated. If they do, their contributions are solicited. RIFLE CLUB OUTLINES ITS PERMANENT RULES Work on Both Indoor and Outdoor Ranges Is Progressing; Nicely Equipment Is Ordered. At a meeting of the Carolina Rifle Club recently permanent rules govern ing conduct while on the rifle range and temporary rules concerning the construc tion work which is now in progress on the range were adopted. These rules are as follow: 1. Rifle bolts shall be kept open at all times except while on the firing line. 2.. Guns shall not be loaded until on the firing line, and. shall be unloaded before brought off the line. 3. While on the firing line, guns shall not be aimed off the back-stop. .4. Carelessness in any way endanger ing persons or property shall ' not be tolerated. 5. . Anyone infringing the above rules can be suspended by. the officers in charge until the next meeting of the executive committee when the case will be proper ly tried. 6. The Range Officer will be in ab solute control of the range at all times. In case the range officer is not present, the highest officer of the club who 5s on the range shall act in his place. 7. The executive committee of the club shall act as a court to try any mem bers for infringing of the rules. The committee shall have the power to pun ish by fines or by temporary snspen- ion. Cases In which' permanent . dis missal is deemed necessary or advisable shall go before a general meeting of the club for final decision. All trials shall be open to any member of the club. 8. Every member of the club shall put at least one afternoon a week work on the range until its completion. Men who are unable to do this most see the range officer and present their excuses, These men will be expected to make up their absences by paying fifty cents for each weeks work missed. Men who can do so must make up past and future ab sences in actual work. ' If any man is unable to make up unexcused absences in work may do so by paying the sum of .00 for each absence. Any man having four unexcused absences shall be drop ped from the club. Up to the present time many of the members, ' of which there are seventy, have been doing various kinds of work on the range, such as cutting down trees, cleaning land of . brush, etc.: he work of digging . the pits has already been completed by laborers and teams of horses' hired by the Rifle Club. Most of the construction work, however, will be done by the members themselves. - From now on Work will go on con tinuously regardless of the weather un til both the indoor and outdoor ranges are completed. Whenever the weather permits, members will work on the out door range which is near the Old Ral eigh Road several miles east of Chapel Hill; whenever the weather is bad, they will work on the gallery which will be constructed in the basement of Memorial Hall. '-V . Complete equipment - for both of the ranges has been ordered from the Di rector of Civilian Marksmanshsip in Washington and is expected to arrive soon. ANY CONTRIBUTIONS 1 HERE? ' M. Eugene Streefof Glendon, has written a letter to the papers of the state endorsing the views of John W. Zur frees, of Winston-Salem. Mr. Kurfrees some time ago expressed his views as to a good many things, among them being, the University and Dr. Chase. . Mr. Street desires that the letter of the Winston citizens be "broad cast throughout the state by . the hundred thouands" and suggests that those of a like mind make con tributions for that purpose. We hope, that we are not presum ing too much, if we take it upon ourselves' to echo this appeal from Dr. Street. The gentleman found the "propaganda" over Dr. Chase's INTRAORAL SPORTS Intramural Office, 114 Alumni Building The Intramural ended last Friduy. Basketball season The season was the most successful, and the number of con testants entered showed a great increase of interest in this popular pastime among the students. Both the numbers' of the teams and the number of the contest ants had a big increase over last year. Incomplete records show that this year there were 44 teams and at least 457 in dividuals who actually played in games, as compared with 32 teams and 267 in dividuals entered last year. This is al most double the number of individuals taking part last year. With this alge braic increase, in 3 years the entire student body and the faculty, including the administration officials and janitors, will be playing the game. Dr. Royster, Dr. Dashiell, and some of their cohorts have already begun training by playing volley ball. Steele, last year's champions, came through again this year,, and won the Dormitory Championship without losing a game. There were several strong teams in the Dorm League, but Carr was the only team that threw a scare Into the Steele camp. The game between Steele and Carr was a hard fought affair, Steele winning 22-21. In the Frat League the race was harder fought one. After five weeks of play, few, teams were at the top with perfect records, but when the League ended tlie Kappa Sigs and the Beta's were "the only ones left with a perfect record. A post-season game will be nec essary to decide the leader in this divis ion. Both of these frats are very for midable aggregations and it is hard to say which team will come out on top. The wrestling and boxing tournaments were not a very great success, on ac count of so many outside events break ing into the schedule. It has been de cided to run these tournaments off dur ing the early part of the spring quarter when the interest of the campus will be in baseball and the boys will be free to participate in their matches at night. A greater interest in these sports is ex pected in the spring quarter because the Southern Basketball Championship games won't be scheduled to attract the leather- pushers and wrestlers at night. The spring quarter will see a great deal of activity in Intra-Murals. There will be five sports underway during the quarter. These sports are Tennis, Horse shoes, , Outdoor track, Baseball, and Wrestling and " Boxing. TLast spring baseball was easily the favorite with 367 entered, indoor baseball will be dis continued this year, because the sun pro vides such intense heat that the Tin Can is more like an oven than a water- bucket.'

It has been re ported that the "Hook and Eye"; race, which these columns propounded some few weeks ago, was attempted in the Bynum Gym with dire results. The con testants, so the report runs, gathered in the said .building promptly at -the hour and with full rig. But, alas, there was one among the fair, contenders who was afflicted she was very nervous..-While the race officials were getting the final details straight, some homo sapien in Steele dormitory began playing one of the latest favorites on his Vic Now it runs that the race didn't come off. The nervous one, struck up the latest steps in St Vitus dance; and the others, see ing the good one leading in the perform ance, retaliated with the 62d step of the Charleston. The remaining details are hazy. There Is nothing to this report, accord ing to the officials in Intra-Mural cir cles. They deny that the contest was attempted, for the mere reason that girls no longer have occasion to become adept in threading needles, or the like. "The. Hook and Eye" race Is perma nently dropped from the schedule of the Intra-Mural sports. The officials of the Intra-Mural sports announce that at the present the plans for the state tour by the victor in the All-University 'basketball championship race are very uncertain, and the pro posed tour under the direction of Dean Paulsen will probably be cancelled, In the early part of the season, Dean Paulsen made the offer that, if the Uni versity officials would permit, be would take the champs in the Intra-Mural bas ketball championship contest for a week's tour through the state, playing some of the strongest quints In the state. However, since five of the ' ten teams written for games, have replied that their season will be over before the dates plaHned, the tour will likely be called off. , ..yrV- . The Intra-Murals are sorry to see the champs get knocked out of such a splen did offer as the one that Dean Paulsel has made. But many thanks go out to Dean for the attempts that he made to get the tour line-up. Dean Is a real sportsman. ML ADDRESSES ENGINEERS HERE Speaks to Seniors in Electrica and Civil Engineering. ROAD FINANCING TOPIC Told How State Changed from Static to Dynamic Progress. The senior electrical and civil engi neering students were treated to one of the most interesting speeches ever heard in Phillips Hall, Friday afterrtoon. Only a small number of students were pres ent, but those were intensely interested throughout. Dean Braune, Introducing the speaker, Mr. Hill, of the Highway Commission, said that Mr. Hill's subject, "Road Fi nancing," was as equally important as any phase of road building. In this con nection he stated that Mr. Page, chair man of the State Highway Commission, has recently talked to the engineers on "Contracts and Specifications in High way Construction." 'v ' : , Mr. Hill, who is in charge of road construction in this district which in cludes Durham, Wake,' and Orange coun ties, was responsible for getting the well-planned and very successful road bill through the . legislature during the administration of Governor Bickett He told the group that the greatest concep tion possible was that of the road financ ing problem in North Carolina. After ascertaining that . the 'students would rather have a general discussion than a lot of figures, he confined himself to the following statistics in order to give some idea of what it cost to construct only one mile of pavement For one mile 231 car loads of sand, 88 car loads of crushed rock, and 22 car loads cement are used, while 606 days of man labor is employed. To supplement this he stated that the road from Raleigh to Durham cost over one million dollars., And since the be ginning of the system he said that over 19 million dollars worth of contracts have been let each year. : . Mr. Hill touched on the Virginia and South Carolina methods of "pay as you go," and said that it really meant pay and not go. He continued, "When we started out on this enlarged program we were discouraged from all sides with the philosophy of pay as you go, and that it was too large a sum for the peo ple of North Carolina to pledge. This strong barrier had to be broken down by starting from the bottom and work ing upward, that is, by starting with the people and showing them that our proposition was sound and that it could mean no loss to them. It was a case of changing from the static to the dynamic form of progress. After .a thorough solicitation of every man in North Caro lina, we got our 50 million dollar bond issue road bill passed and did not put tax on the people for the interest on the bonds. Bankers were the only business men to see the good in it; so from them we obtained our help and now North Carolina can boast the very best road system of any state in the union. In order to finance'this bond issue we did not levy a state property tax but merely taxed gasoline and automobile licenses. In this way we saved the people money, for the good roads would carry them more miles on much less gasoline and the great increase in automobiles in- creassed both of the taxes to such an extent that another bond issue for 85 million has been passed on the same basis. By our good roads we have caused property to rise and have increased trade area to a great many people who have been heretofore excluded." After the conclusion of the talk many questions were raised by the students, all of which were answered to their satisfaction. RANDOLPH CLUB HAS SMOKER SATURDAY Snappy talks, good Jokes and general good feeling characterized the meeting of the Randolph Club which was held in the social room of the "Y" Saturday night at 10-30. . In spite of adverse weather conditions and the nearness of final exams, a fairly large crowd was present President Howard W. Redding start ed off the meeting with a short' talk anent the purpose of the meeting which was merely to get the members together again for a general old fashioned eood time social and to discuss the methods of preparing Interesting programs for future meetings. The president said that there was no official business to come before the club, and the main purpose was to eat, drink and be mer ry." "Bill" Hammond treated the members to an interesting humerous speech which was followed by an abundance of good jokes from every one present. Hammond and Redding won the fur lined shavins; mug and the gold ladle, respectively, for the oldest and dryest jokes. Refreshments consisitlng of cake, ap ples, drinks and smokes were served. Jack Lipman has just returned from Baltimore where he spent several days buying new spring clothes. VALUABLE ANTIQUES GIFT TO LAW SCHOOL Antique Table and Cabinet Presented in Memory of Noted University Alumnus by Daughter. In the memory of Hon. Samuel Phil lips, who graduated from the University law school in 1841 and later became solicitor-general of the . United States, his daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Phillips Dan iel, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has donated to the local school of law two very beau tiful and valuable articles of antique furniture. Both of these articles are of carved black walnut, very ornate, and impos ing in appearance. One is a cabinet, profusely - decorated', with., hand-carved images, stands about six feet in height and bears the unmistakable stamp of genuine antiquity. 1 ,.; . : A large table, standing about three feet from the floor and measuring ap proximately eight.by four feet on its sur face, constitutes the other valuable gift to the school. It is likewise very highly ornamental, both in its support which comes from the center and on its top which is divided into eight squares. ; These pieces are the gift of Mrs. Ger trude Daniel, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who is related to the Battles and Phillips of Chapel Hill. ' Since they were presented in the memory . of her father, Samuel Phillips, they will bear the following in sc'rlption on a brass plate: "In memory of Samuel Field Phillips, LL.D, Class of 1941." .'',;'' ; . The table has been placed in the law library where it will remain as a per manent fixture, while the cabinet is sta tioned in the dean's office until a stu dent's room can be arranged on the sec- end floor.

"9 UNIVERSITY T DEFEATS THE STATESVILLE T Team Has Won Six Out Of Nine Games This Year Nearly A Thousand People Attend Game. In a hard fought and somewhat closely contested game the University basketball aggregation played the last game of the present season and defeats the Statesville 'Y" oulnt 29-20 ,.. night in Statesville. Both teams con sisted of star players and the wKl game wasfeatured by excellent playing on the part of each. The first half of the game the local team) outplayed Statesville and when the whistle blew the score was 16-7. But the last half marked by a com. back by those being out-played and both seemed to be evenly matched, each team making 9 points and the game ended with the locals still hanging on to the point lead that had been built un In the first half but which was not main tained throughout the last of the States villians came within a point or two of tying the score several times.' Hackney displayed the usual asllltv and good playing that he has been ac customed to as a member of Carolina's varsity team. Captain Calhoun also played a fine game for the local "Y". Moose was high-score man of the game and the star of Statesville's team. Spur lock, former Center football and basket ball letter-man, played a, superb floor game while DeArmor did some excellent guarding. Three of Statesville's players are on the Lenoir College team, one was a former Kansas City "Y" Dlaver. and another is a two-letter man at David son. '.": The game played in the Statesville High School suditprium and attended by nearly a thousand people who seemed to enjoy the entire game thoroughly and were pleased on being able to witness some of the members of the Carolina varsity team in action.. It is said that dosens upon dozens of Statesville people went to Atlanta to 'see the University varsity play. The crowd gave the local a great ovation when ' they permitted Moose to remain in the game and to con tinue playing after the referee had order ed him to leave the floor for personal fouling. , It was a most unusual thing that Moose was allowed to continue playing since teams rarely consent to this, and it was most surprising when immediately on his entering the game to resume his playing, he dribbled right straight from one end of the court to the other and shot as pretty a goal as anyone could ever wish. , Statesville royally entertained the team and the manager, Ed. Hudgins. They say that nowhere have they been better and more first-classly treated, this year. This is the first year that the Univer sity-Y. M. C. A. has tried the basketball team idea, They have won six out of nine games, defeated such strong teams as that of the Atlantic Christian College. Present plans are to keep up what has been begun this year and to pnt out an even better team next year. Line-up and summary i ' Carolina (29) Statesville (20) Position Underwood . (3) : Warner R.F.
