Fetzer Given Office By Southern Coaches University Athletic Officials Attending Conference Meeting in Ker-' . . Coach Bob Fetzer, director of athle tics at Carolina, was elected secretary-treasurer of the Southern Coaches association at a banquet giv en the coaches Thursday night in Lexington, Ky. Other officers are William Alexander, of Georgia Tech, president, succeeding Wallace Wade, of Alabama, and S. A. Boles, of the University of Kentucky, vice presi dent. The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association began its meet ing Friday, and the coaches are, re maining to attend it. Coach James DeHart,, of Duke, ,made a talk on the use of lateral passes, explaining that this feature has' done much to change the game and is largely responsible for a good fullback possessing agility and other good qualities besides bulk. He ex pressed his approval of the goal goal posts being behind the line. A rather unique plea was' made by Coach Donahue, of Louisiana State, who wants to have f ewer and simpler rules in football. - Wallace Wade attacked the rules of not being allowed to send back a player in the half in which he was taken out. Zip Newman, sports writer of Bir mingham, pleaded with the coaches to be sure that the players wear the numbers that are published as being theirs, explaining that the use of correct numbers would greatly aid press men and spectators alike in keeping straight the players. Carolina is represented at the Conference meeting . which began Friday by C. T. Woollen, graduate manager of athletics, "Chueh" Col lins, head football coach, in addition to Coach Fetzer, director of athle tics here.

The regular review of the play will appear in Tuesday's issue of the Tar Heel. The play with the excellent scen ery so typical of the. Victorian period, the overacting as was proper in those days, and the many specialties de lighted the audience last evening and is expected to fill the theatre. tonight. The cast is an exceptionally strong one. Howard Mumf ord J ones, mem ber of the University faculty, appears as Joe Morgan, the drunkard, and his performance was said by many last night to be a powerful sermon on the evils of drink.

A. Wilson, of Winston-Salem, president of the State Federation of Labor, de clared Thursday night in Saunders Hall, speaking under the auspices of the School of Commerce. ' Mr. Wilson said that he wanted to impress upon the audience the fact that a representative of the Ameri can and State Federations of Labor is not a freak or a person carrying a club, but a representative of a great equalizing force operating between the management and the individual work er. He outlined the objectives of the State Federation of Labor, which are v Objectives . . 1. An eight or nine months term for our public schools. 2. Free text-books. 3.

HEER WILL SHOW HOWSTATEGETS GOYRJNCTIONS Will Tell North Carolina Club about Distribution of Nation al Public Works. SPEAKER STUDYING TAXES Dr. Heer Was Member of Vir ginia Tax Commission; Now Surveying State Problem for Governor. " Dr. Clarence Heer, taxation expert and member of the Economics de- partment of the University, will speak at the regular fortnightly meeting of the North Carolina Club Monday night at 7:30 in 112 Saunders on "The Application of the Ability The- ory in the Distribution of Government Functions." Before coming to the University this fall, Dr. Heer was for two or three years a member of a Virginia tax commission. While a member of this commission he made a rather ex- ing a large portion of his time, apart from his work with the University, in making studies of the tax situation in North Carolina for Governor Mc Lean and the state fiscal authorities. Dr. Heer will show whether the government functions, such as road building, schools, and similar public works, are distributed fairly in North Carolina. He will compare the sys tem of distribution used in this state with those employed in other states, in addition to showing whether they are heavier on any one county than on others in this state. This year the North Carolina Club is undertaking a study of the tax problem in the state, and Dr. Heer's talk will be the last before the Christ mas holidays of the series that has been delivered this quarter before the club on the taxation .problem. Dr. Fred Morrison, Secretary of the State Tax Commission, delivered the lecture at the last meeting of the Club. Others who have spoken at the bi-monthly meetings include Hon. A. J. Maxwell, chairman of the State, Corporation Commission and the Tax Commission, Professor Paul Wager, Secretary of the Club, and Robert E. House, Executive Secretary of the University. The North Carolina Club is a stu dent organization, and its meetings are open to all students and mem bers of the faculty of the University. Jud Ashby, President of the Club, urged yesterday afternoon that all those interested in studying the pol itical, economic and governmental problems of the state attend the meet ings of the Club, which are held in 112 Saunders every other Monday evening at 7:30.

' It was not Known where these j reports originated since gra- duate manager of athletics I Charles T. Woollen and head coach Bob Fetzer are, in Lex- ington,' Kentucky, attending a meeting of the Southern Con ference. It is stated further, however, that Collins will be in 4 Kentucky and is expected to ne gotiate with University officials there. Coach Collins went to his home in Oak Park, 111., at the conclusion of the season. The two-year contract with the coaches expires with the end of the spring coaching sea son, but it was thought that the contracts would be renew ed before the first of the year. FRESHMAN QUINT PLAYSjTONIGHT Opens Season against Strong Smithfield High Team ; Game at 7 O'clock. : The Carolina Tar Babies will have their first tilt tonight in the .Tin Can when they play Smithfield High at 7 o'clock. This game will imme diately precede the varsity game with the Salisbury Y, which is slated for 8:30. While the ' freshmen under Coach Beldi.ng, have only recently searted practice, there are 15 men who have stood out in performance, and the five to play tonight will be selected from-them. Little about the playing ability of the large number of play ers who have answered the call for practice can be determined, but the coaches are of the opinion that the season this year will be somewhat more successful than was that of the past year. Smithfield High is reputed to have 1 " T 1 J ' Jl a good team. J-iast year it was xne runner-up in its class in the tourna ment conducted by State college. No admission charge will be made to students, but outsiders will be charged fifty cents to see the two games.. D. K. E. and A. T. O. Pledges Are Hosts At Social Meeting The pledges of the D. K. E. and the A. T.. O. fraternities entertained two pledges from each of the other fraternities at the Methodist Church Thursday evening. . An effort was made to get Pro fessor Frank Graham to speak, but due to his inability to be present Nel son Howard spoke. He explained that the purpose of the social was to get the pledges of the fraternities better acquainted with each other. Three fourths of what one gets out of his stay at the University is"" deter mined by his associations while here, he said. Following Howard's talk, the Car olina Banjo Boys rendered several selections. They concluded their pro gram with a selection of their own entitled "Carolina Rag." After the musical program, punch, sandwiches, and cakes were served. Director Grumman Returns from Meeting R; M. Grumman, director, of the Extension Division of the University has returned from Wilson where he attended the annual meeting of the North Carolina 'Association of Cham ber of Commerce Secretaries. Mr. Grumman was accompanied by E. J. Woodhouse, also of the Extension Division who addressed the assem bly on the service which the Bureau of County and Municipal Govern ments render to the state of North Carolina. :ht Rowan Team Was the Only Squad to Defeat Carolina on Last Christmas Tour. HEELS START IMPRESSIVE Visitors Have Team of Brilliant Amateur Players, But Little Is Known of Their Scoring Ability. The Tar Heels battle the Salisbury "Y" tossers in the Tin Can at 8:30 tonight, attempting to avenge a de feat" suffered from the Rowan lads at Salisbury last year during the Christmas holiday tour. The score of that game was 29 to 28 and was the only defeat suffered by the Caro lina outfit on their holiday trip last winter. With a smashing 40 to 5 victory over Cart Carmichael's Durham All- Stars already stowed away, the Tar Heels enter this game tonight with a slight edge. Perhaps no Tar Heel quintet in recent years has made as impressive, a showing, as did Captain "Pinky" Morris and his cohorts last Saturday night. Their record in this game j is all the more impressive when one con-; siders the calibre of their .opposition. Three former Tar Heel stars and All Southern players were on the red clad five that played last Saturday. They were Cart Carmichael, "Spro die" Cobb, and Billy Devin. Their combined efforts only netted one point, and that makes the 1928 Carolina de fensive look air-tight. The Salisbury outfit will bring a number of the most brilliant ama teur players in the state here tonight, and Coach Ashmore will probably throw the full Tar Heel strength, into the fray. The starting line-up will probably include Billy Vanstory and "Red" Price, forwards ; Carr Purser, center; and Captain "Pinky Morris and Bill Dodderer, guards. Only Two University Lectures Scheduled For Balance of Year Czechoslovakian Scientist and Charles ton Artist Secured by Committee. Only two more lectures remain oh the schedule of the University Lec ture committee of which Dean Addi son Hibbard is chairman, it was an nounced yesterday. Dr. Danes, of Czechoslovakia, and scientist of in ternational reputation, comes here on January 13 under an exchange fellow ship plan, while Mrs. Pettigrew Ver ner of Charlestown and an artist will appear at a later date. The annual sum of $500 appropriat ed to University' lectures has been completely expended now, and there is no likelihood of more speakers be ing brought here -by this committee. A major portion of the amount was spent to bring Will Durant to the campus, leaving a small balance to defray expenses of securing Bliss Carman, Dr. Robertson, and the two lectures scheduled for the balance of the year. " This does not affect the Weil and McNair lectures, expenses for which are met out of private endowments and which are expected to be de livered later. Weaver Gives a Talk On Symphonic Music First of Music Series to Be Given Every Wednesday Afternoon. Symphonic music was the subject of a lecture by Professor Paul John Weaver, head of the University music department, Wednesday afternoon in Person Hall, the temporary Music Building. Dealing with the composition of symphonies and the structure of ear ly compositions, Mr. Weaver handled his subject in an interesting manner. He illustrated his lecture with sev eral selections on the Orthophonic and on the Duo-Art Reproducing Piano. About thirty people attended the lecture, the first of a series of talks to be given each Wednesday after noon until the latter part of Feb ruary. The honor of a second term in In diana depends on whether it is con ferred by a majority, or a jury. . Medford (Ore.) Mail-Tribune. Can Toni;
