It was a game fight that V. M. I.
put up Saturday. They had the fight
ing spirit to begin with and kept it
throughout the game. Although they
fell a little below Carolina's team in
weight, they almost made up for that
disadvantage by hard work. It wasn't
the easiest victory Carolina ever won.
Forest and Davidson have had good
teams, while A. & M. had a team last
year. A movement has been launched
to form a State basket ball league.
Certain men at Carolina are determined
that the University shall have a place
in this league.

method about it, every man being
trusted to do the square thing. It is
easily seen how a man who is disposed
to do so can take advantage of such a
system of government. A few men do
take advantage of it and by so doing
damage the University. Not only this,
they are often responsible for serious
personal injury.
A case in which this is notably true
occurred Saturday night. It is in
spite of student self government, not
because of it, that such a thing hap

The accident is to be regretted only
because the injury was borne by a man
who was not one of the party responsi

for defending his room against such
intruders. It is his right, his duty,
to do it. If there were freshmen
enough with the spirit of S. I. Parker,
it's possible that fewer doors would be
broken into on the campus. Just bare

TO HAVE BASKET BALL TEAM
Carolina will certainly have a bas
ketball team this winter. When it is
known that no less a personage than
Nat Cartmell is interested in a team,
enough has been said. There is much
basket ball material in college this
year, and a number of devotees of the
game, prominent among whom is Mr.
Marvin Ritch, are determined to re;
vive this sport at the University. A
challenge has been received from the
University of Tennessee asking about
a game for Feb. 24.
Basket ball has been decidedly dead
at Carolina for the last few years.
Last year it was even suggested that
