The Tar Heel publishes in full
in today's issue the rules 0vernin
the eligibility of players to repre
sent this institution on athletic
tearns in intercollegiate contests
as recentl' revised and as at present
they stand. The fact that they
have been changed has been known
by the students for weeks and they
have also been apprised of the gen
eral tenor and extent of the changes
The new rules were first read at a
meeting of the advisory committee
i and later were explained to the stu
dents at a mass meeting.
This paper has not hitherto pub
lished them for the excellent reason
that a copy had not been given it
for publication. It refrained from
commenting on them because one
cannot discuss very intelligently
unless his reader knows what he is
talking about. They were not
published, secondly, for the far bet
ter leason that the President was
then in conference with a number of
other institutions regarding the
adoption of similar regulations
there. The publication of them at
that time might have handicapped
his -efforts by complicating the situ
ation. Those negotiations have
1 i i . . i c 1 1
. Deen closed, llie last linai touenes
have been added, and we present
them herewith to our readei s.
it is, perhaps a dozen and a hal
come out for a few days to fill ;
dozen places, there is little or no
competition and the places go al
most bv default. The result -is an
untrained team of good material
foredoomed awl predestined to de
feat.
We are fully aware of the fin air
cial stringencies of the institution
We appreciate, also, the fact that
at present track athletics cannot be
self sustaining, because no gate
charges can be made. But thee
things do not affect the truth of the
statement with which we began
1 hey merely serve to show why
these things are so. And if money
is to be invested in this way at al
enough should be put in to accom
plisii some resnlts.(
1 he 'luting up of the athletic
park with a suitable track, fitted
both for practice and for intercol
legiate meets with the admission
charge feature should be a strong
influence in increasing the emphasis
laid on this much neglected branch
of athletics. Let us hope that
along with it will come all those
other facilities for training, indis
pensable to the development ot
a
winning team.
It would seem as if the familiar
slogan of the anti-footballist :
"Mend it or end it' might be ap
plied to track athletics in this Uni
versity. Not that that branch of
our athletic sport is conducted in a
manner dangerous to life, limb, lib
erty or the pursuit of happiness.
But it is exceedingly doubtful if it
is proving especially beneficial to
either of these or to the reputation
of the institution at large.
The defeat of the team by Vir
ginia, who wholly outclassed us. is
an illustration of this. But if any
one believes that Virginia had bet
ter material to draw from than Car
olina had, he is badly mistaken. It
is even said of the material in the
meet last Saturday Carolina's was
the equal of any.
The fault, then, must lie in the
lack of adequate inducement offered
to men to come out and in the lack
of proper facilities for training the
men when. they have come out. As
Says the Wake Forest Weekly:
.
"The Weekly recognizes the jus
tice of The Tar Heel's claim for
it 1A. TT . T x r
tne state u niversitv. we arree
that it, has outgrown 'Chapel Hill'
and should' be called North Caro
lina. The f reshman knew' no bet
ter, but the editorial writer did
It was due to thoughtlessness, ant
not to lack of respect for the insti
tutiun. We are not too narrow to
take pride in the growth, or better,
in the development of the State Uni
versity. Its record for the past few
years in athletics, with theattempts
it has made toward the purification
of athletics, together with the up
todate educational .advantages
which it offers in every way, have
placed it in the front rank of South
ern universities. . v Henceforth it
shall be North Carolina and not
Chapel Hill."
Gracefully said! The Weekly
interpreted our remark rather more
seriously than we intended, but its
kind words are appreciated none the
less.
Today's game will give the stu
dents and people of Chapel Hill
their first opportunity iu years to
see a real professional team play on
the Universily .diamond. Come out
and let's see if Carolina's fast team,
even though amateur, cannot show
them a thing or two about ball
playing.
The football team of the Univer
sity of Virginia has already begun
pring practice in anticipation of
next fall. I his is somewhat reas
suring to those who had begun to
fear that they had seen their last
game of college football.
The trouble with the modern
musical entertainment is that it
works the audience as hard as the
performers.
