Captain Thompson Wins
and Abbott Draws.
4-
Carqlina's hopes of adding another
state championship to its credit crash
ed last night when the Duke mat
Devils edged an 18 to 6 victory over
the Tar ' Heels. The meet was one
of the toughest - that has ever been
contested in North Carolina J four, of
the matches went to extra periods and
in all eight divisions not one fall was
registered to the credit of either Duke
or Carolina.
Both Captain Jones of Duke and
Captain Thompson of N6rth Carolina
succeeded in emerging victorious with
time advantages.. In the first match
Stallings, Carolina star, battled Ap
plewhite to a draw, neither being able
even in the extra period to gain suf
ficient time advantage. In one of the
fiercest struggles of the' evening Ab
bot, on a, .referee's, decision, drew a
draw, with his opponent, Cole. In
the . remaining heavyweight matches
Duke -managed to ' secure sufficient
time advantage to insure victory.
Saturday night the Tar Heels will
son when V. M. I. journeys southward
to engage the Carolina matmen.'

Dr. Bernard Gets
Rare Book Cheap
r. ... r- ...
The frequently-made statement that
people very often do not know 'the
real value of a rare book was borne
out by an incident which took place
while Dr. L. L. Bernard was in Chi
cago recently. Dr. Bernard states
that he bought a. copy of J ohn C.
Jalhoun s famous "Disquisition on
Government and Discourse on the
-Constitution, and Government of the
United States" for fifteen cents. The
book, which really is very valuable,
was found by Dr. Bernard on a table
of books, all of which were priced at
v fifteen cents.
Calhoun's book was published in
1851 shortly after his death. Only
one hundred copies j were printed.
These were distributed by the Gen
eral Assembly of the state of South
Carolina. They are extremely rare
now and usually sell for" large sums.
Dr. Bernard says that he was ex
tremely fortunate to find a book-seller
so utterly ignorant of .the value
of such a book. - He states that he
did not feel disposed to inform the
book-seller of thei real value of the
book.

Theta Chis Return
From Grand Chapter
Meeting of Frat
Cliff Branch, Henry Sinclair, and
J. V. Wilson returned to Chapel Hill
Sunday from Charlottsville, Virginia,
where they attended a grand' chapter
meeting of the Theta Chi fraternity
as representatives of- the Carolina
chapter of Theta Chi' February 23.
The affair was attended by the entire
chapter at the University of Virginia
and many of the. alumni as well as
representatives of the chapters at
the University of Richmond, Hamp-
den-Sidney College, and the Univer
sity of North Carolina. This is the
first time the grand chapter of the
fraternity has been in session in the
south. The meetings are customarily
held in New York, Boston, or Chicago.

Tar Heels and Bull Dogs as the most
likely conquerors of the fast-stepping
Washington and Lee Generals.
While priority, must be given
these four teams" in the pre-tournament
picking, there, are quite a few
other aggregations in the conference
ranks which carry enough punch and
drive to win out if they happen to
be at the top of their stride when the
tournament starts.
i There are always certain critics
who are prone to disregard dope and
who always pick some "dark horse"
to win. There are a few teams en
tered in the race which have shown
sufficient drive to be picked by these
scribes more than once. While these
teams have not shown the consistent
strength that .the four leaders have
exhibited, they hnished the season
strong and can be pointed out as real
threats. Among these teams are
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Tu-
lane, Duke and Clemson
Besides hawng the scalp of Wash
ington and Lee to their credit, the
Kentuckians boast two wins oyer last
season's champions, Mississippi.
Tennessee's Volunteers, topped off
their season in fine form, downing
Sewanee.and the strong - Vanderbilt
team durine the final few days of
play. :
State College, a team which during
the earlier part of the season looked
like a real threat, finished up Fri
day night with a win over V.P.I, by
a ten point margin. Clemson is ex
pected to show a strong defense if it
happens to be at its best during the
tournament. This team has shown
spurts of real playing at times dur
ing the season, and is likely to be an
upset to somebody's hopes.
The' standing of the Conference
members follows. Only games played
ragainst other conference members are
used in compiling the standings.

"Rio Rita," while she makes more

The ; interscholastic ; and intercolle

University of North Carolina Satur
day night will bring to Chapel - Hill
the outstanding collegiate and scholas
tic track artists of the state. The
meet will be held in the Tin Can at
6:45. v.:-. . '
In the interscholastic division
Campbell College has entered eleven
men; Charlotte high school, sixteen;
Hargrave Military Academy of
Chatham Virginia, sixteen; Bragtown
high school, seven; Oxford high school
one; and Jefferson high school of
Roanoke, Va., one.
In the intercollegiate ' division
Davidson has entered ten men; Geor
gia Tech, eight; and Washington and
Lee a relay team. Wake 'Forest has
entered but has not informed the1
coaching staff of the number of men.
Duke is also expected to enter.
The 'interscholastic division gives
promise of bringing together some of
the most outstanding track . men of
this vicinity. Practically all of the
teams entered have at least one star
performer. -
. In the intercollegiate division Cur
rie and Whittle of Davidson, Coffee
of Georgia Tech, and Harrison, Smith
and Gay of Carolina are among the
promising entries in the feature
sprint race.
Whittle of Davidson, Boyd and
Duren of Georgia Tech, and Perry
and Stafford of Carolina are expect
ed to prove the class of the field in
the sixty yard high hurdle race.
The middle 'and distance runs as
well as the field events will bring, to
Chapel Hill a classy aggregation of
flashy : track artists, each institution
entered presenting an outstanding
performer.
The pole vault should prove the
feature field event of the meet. The
exceptionally fine arrangements which
have been made for this event will
give the group of performers an op
portunity to exhibit . their prowess
in gala fashion. Among those who
are expected to make strong bids for
the laurels in this event are Captain
North Carolina's Flying Phantoms
will embark tonight for the Atlanta
Tournament in quest of the South
ern Gonf erenffe championship honors
in basketball for 1929. Last week
the .Tar Heels marked finis td their
pre-Tournament season of intercol
legiate basketball, and have primed
strenuously for the impending cham
pionship contest in Atlanta March 1,
2,- 3, 'and 4. The University quintet
has been quite successful in its en
gagements with Southern -Conference
opponents, having scored 12 victories
out of 14 conference games, and it
is generally conceded that Carolina is
justly a. strong- favorite for the
Southern Championship title ; this
year. - Carolina's regular schedule
of intercollegiate games was conclud
ed last week with successive victories
over Davidson and V. M. I. in the
Tin Can. On Friday night the Phan
toms completely overwhelmed the
Davidson: Wildcats, 45 to 7. , The
game was Carolina's from the start:
the visitors were, allowed just two
field goals during the evening, and
the Heels scored at will. Saturday
night's game with V. M. I. found the
Carolina tossers, traditionally due
an off night in the final game before
Bailey and Smith of Davidson, Pate
of Guilford, and Cowper and Arnold
of Carolina. ,
Several colleges, high schools, and
prep schools which are expected to
enter have not been heard from as
yet.
the Conference Tournament, playing
very erratically. The game was evi
dently all Carolina's, though the
Phantoms were forced to extend
themselves in the last half to repel
a vigorous Cadet attack.
If Coach Ashmore's proteges con
tinue in the Tournament to play as
brilliantly as they have in seasonal
contests, it might certainly be expect
ed that the Southern title will be
theirs for 1929. : North Carolina's
basketball quints have long been
heralded as real contenders for cham
ionship honors in Southern Confer
ence basketball, and this year affords
no exception. ( Basketball in the South
this year has been of an unusually
high calibre, and the winners of the
southern title will surely have to ex
tend themselves o take the strong op
position into camp. North Carolina
has always been characterized in its
ventures into athletics by a formid
able fighting spirit. The University
might rest assured that its represen
tatives in basketball for 1929 will rise
to the occasion in the Atlanta Tourna
ment. '
