GIVE PRESIDENT
FULL SPEED AHEAD
Special Trada Hud
Right of Way Ovar Every
thing Elaa
J*»t before midnight tut night tho
President’s special, a swift flying pas
senger train, passed through Wilson
on the Atlantic Coast Lino railroad.
All up and down that intricate net
work of trained men, who make up a
big railroad system, went the meeaage
that “tae President is passing by.”
and every railroad man was on tip
toe to loc that there was not the
Tghtrn delay or the slightest incoo
vtnle-ice to that fast train that ear
tied the President of the United
Status irons Washington to Florida.
P.ekcti veterans of the road man
ned llio tiain. Conductor P. W.
dorm*, i|f Richmond, Va., was la
rhargo of tha train. Engineer John
Hughes, of Rocky Mount wuu at the
\hiottle w-on tha train passed here.
A fiaih engine, polished and bright
and steamed up for a fast trip, was
reedy at Rocky Mount where tho en
gine* were changed.
Orders had leng preceded the spe
cial train Every telegraph operator
on the line was ordered to he en duty.
'Pie dispatcher* placed their trains so
that not -on* should interfere with
the schedule of tho tael train. Not
even a yard 1 ongina eras allowed to
stir Every switch on the southbound
track was ordered cloned and to re
main untouched for a period of time
preceding the train’s arrival. Every
foot of track was carefully Inspected
anj guarded by a pilot train ranainy
ahead of the special.
Even first 88, that proud psuaon
gcr train which goes flying South
every night with the right of way
over every other train en the line,
even she last night knew the humil
iation of being sidetracked far the
President's special. This fast train
was placed on tha sidetrack at Kaaly
and delayed fifteen mlaatee while the
.' Precedent's train overcook her aad
Ai a result of the con centre ted
efforts of that band of men, some
times overalled and grimed with
•moke, bot always on the job, not a
cog in the big railway maehlmary
•lipped and the President's special
made a record trip through the
.South.

Chapel Hill, March 12—The record 1
of the University of North Carolina
basketball teem for the saaaon of
1MI »tends out, principally, on ac
count of two Ihlngu: First, the quint
waa not defeated in a tingle game by
another college team in thin State,
and second, the quint did nut loan a
game in the intercollegiate tourna
ment in Atlanta, and waa awarded
the championship of the South. Either
at those two feels would have been
impressvr enough, but the accomp
lishment of both ie ail Uie More re
matknhle. and many moons wlH pact
before another basketlsali teams la
North Carolina will nsaka such a re
cord.
Basketball Record
It is very seldom that a collage
team in any branch ef athletics hi
North Carolina goes through n sen ana
without a defeat ednaiaiatered by an
other college team in the State. The
beat of teems crack under the etsata,
and have “off" deyr, but the Univer
sity quintet was exceedingly fortu
nate in thia respect during the 1M2
season. Trinity, State OoOcgc and
Wake Forest eack bowed twice to the
euporlerity of the Tar Heel Machine,
und Mon (offered defeat once at the
hands at Fetser'a aggregation. David
son was not played, but the impress
ive record made by Carolina and the
riotarter ever the other State trams,
wore enough to have it generally ac
knowledged and generously conceded
that Carolina was champion of tho
States at wall at the entire South.
Looking at the eoornn in retro
epcct we find that there is one an
pluaaant parted that we da not like to
dwell upon. That is the few days of
tho northern trip, when Ceiallaa war
defeat It wat expected, and the Army
perhaps had a better teeen than the
Southern championship flee. Urnhrrt
of the Tar Heel teem declare that the
Army qelnt «u the (feast they played
daring the entire season, and that
they were simply outclassed, although
the first period was remarkably close
and the effects of the long trip ware
undoubtedly felt. And neither are
there may alibi makers far the losses
bo Virginia and Washington and Lae.
We hare an idea, however, that If
the team had been playiag the brand
of bataelbell that was played in the
Atlanta toornamsnt the scores af both
these contests would hare been of a
different nature. As for the second
victory ef Washington and Lee over
Carolina, plonty of altbl could ho
raped up, chiefly the thousand saHe
tr.p from Georgia and the Shape the
moo were in nftor the great tourney.
Bat the record, as It Is, Is satisfactory
to local ant ho heats and to the State,
in general, and the consensus of op
inion is that the 1K1 Carolina bas
ketball qaint is ths bast ever devel
oped in Xorth Carolina.
Figures Far Bee sea
The teem scared a total of (75
points during the lesson, which repre
sent IB victories sad 4 defeats, op
ponent* registering HI points This
Is an average of aver SB points a
**me scored by the champion cagcrt,
which is an unusually high average
fn those figures, the ehhrf cause of
(ho team's sueeaas Is discernible—i. a.
toe quintet's remarkable scoring pow
er. Carolina had a team of forwards,
and every man on Ik* team waa mas
ter of the shooting ait. As a matter
of fact, ovary man on the quint has
played this position (a the past and
played It well. Hones, the andaany

One fine thing that Impressed At

of Carolina la th, geathnra Uurary
waa the conduct and sportsmanship

Mather* oI Team
Great interest !* manifested in the
personnel of this woitdorfel basket
ball team. Who were these eight men
that made Atlanta talk so muck?
Three of the flee regulars are from
Durham, includbtg the captain. There
three are the two Carmichael broth
on, -aaiy" and "Cart,” and "Sis"
Patsy. "Cart” Carmichael was cap
lain of this year* quint while "BiJly”
held the eamc honor in 1817. IVrry is
back la college this year after leaving
the University in 1918. All thro* ere
well known in Dirham, and wore well
known for all that is dean and fine
in athletics. They represent the best
that a man can pet into a ram*.
"Kook” McDonald OB* of the
guards, who was cleoted as next yean
captain, is from Charlotte, iloag with
Graham and Parser tw* of the sub
stitute*. All three are known aad ad
mired for their deaallaam la athletics
and in life, and are meat popalsr on
the campus. "Wint" Green, on* of
the forwards aad Carl Xskier, sub
stitute forward, hail from Wilming

be proud of thee* lads. For they,
too, are perfect types of the clean
and sportsmanlike athlete Lloyd
Williams, manager of th* team, is an
other Charlotte hoy, aad he managed

that the boys played the gam*.

F.W. Work

oHrially, by Billy Fetarr, but Fataer,
realising what a aplend i group of
taskctball toe son be ns I. let the an
v-rh out their own aa.vatioa far tho
most part, aad the main thing he did
during the season was to iastfll tho
Carolina fight in tho men. Billy Car

squad last year, knows Just about aa

able aad the men let this veteran
dope oat the technical work for them
aad do most of the leading. Tho truth
of tho matter la the team was com
posed of natural horn cagvri aad they
happened to fit in well together,
which resulted la perfect teamwork
of excoHoat bsikgthall.
AH five of the Carolina regular* have

that ho would Just as soon have tho
