1 ; i OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION VOL.' 19 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL IIILL N. C, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 25, 1911 NO. 34 IN FAST FURIOUS MIXUP VIRGINIA BAGS GAME AN APPRECIATION OF COLLEGE BABIES NAMED BY DR. PALMER COBB DIES SUDDENLY IN NEW YORK "SHE STOOPS TO CONOUER 'i SOPHOMORE COMMITTEE A rux. Outweighed Carolina Gives Old Virginia a Great Fight. Sidelines Wild-eyed In a game of basketball full of breathless instances and choking with fighting spirit Virginia won 18 to 15. The first half ended with the score tied 9 to 9. From the first throw the game was as fierce as the annual foot ball contests. Playing under the inter collgiate rules Virginia's play featured dribbling. Carolina has played under the Y. M. C. A. rules up to date and was inexpert in this department of the game. The play started with a rough scrimmage which lasted four minutes without a basket, the first score going to Virginia thrown by Cecil. The next minute brought Va., one point on a foul and Carolina two for a basket Until the last half minute of the period Va., had a three point lead, the score being tied by a foul being thrown by Ritch and a difficult baske by Hanes. In the second half Virginia's weight which was 15 pounds superior man to man beiran to tell. Their lead was safe after the fourth minute of play when the score was 13 to 9. Carolina by sheer grit held the score down. Va's. lead was safe but not a single Carolina player seemed to believe it. Time and time asrain Va. would race down the floor dribbling and in shoot ing distance of the goal a Carolina player would go after him almost in the manner of a football tackle, and stop him with the score missed by grazed basket. It was fight and fight to win until the whistle blew. With two minutes to play with the score 16 to 15 Haynes had a good try at goal and the house was on tiptoe as he missed. A second later a chance to even up came on a foul by Va., but the c-oal was missed. Va. threw one more goal and missed several easy chances. The game was too fierce for indivi dual playing. Va was heavier and more experienced. Carolina was nervy and fought all the time. Everybody leels that the varsity won its spurs last night. 400 people saw the game.

Professor Booker Writes a Criticism of Dramatic Club's Recent Effort To the Editor of the Tar Heel: Dear Sir:- , Please insert in your columns this appreciation of the efforts of the Dram atic Club to present "She Stoops to Conquer." ' It is obvious at first blush that this play is singularly devoid of action; in stage terms it does not "play itself." It relies for its effects upon character portrayal. Now, the thousand and one things upon which character por trayal depends for .emphasis-move ments," mannerisms," affectations, car riage are not in the text; they are in the actor. They are a part of his ex perience. Amateurs, lacking this ex perience, have an unusual strain to meet when they ; attempt a comedy devoid of frequent and striking situa tions. How did the members of the Dramat ic Club meet this strain? Where they failed to meet it, there the play lagged; wherever the Dramatist's characters lacked the proper interpretation, the play unrelieved by action, became a lifeless dialogue. For a professional troupe, Monday night, the recurrence ol these moments or dialogue would have been fatal; for amateurs, the au dience should be grateful that they were not more frequent. Gauged by amateur standards, at least, those . am familiar with, the play was a sue cess. The applause given it bears out this judgement. For those of your readers who are sufficiently interested to tolerate a self appointed but well-meaning critic 1 will indulge in detail. The actor who, in my opinion, best met the peculiar requirements of the play was Mr. Moore, After the first scene his. voice was at all times feminine even during those difficults moments in which Mrs. Hardcastle erows querulous. His movements were excellent, especially those of his hands and arms. Five of the leading actors were known to me. He is the only one whose personality I entirely forgot. I cannot say this, for instance, of the next performer I take up. There were moments when Tony Lumpkin became Mr. Oliver. I refer to Tony's humorous retorts. These were some times delivered with a triumphant or atorical pause, which was not in keep ing with the character or this un-seit- conscious booby. Unce or twice Mr. Oliver's by-play, for instance, when he juggled the tennis-ball, was too pro nounced. It distracted the attention from the characters holding the stage at the time. But for all that, Mr. Ol iver was an extremely satisfactory To ny Lumpkin. Mr. Clinard's interpretation of Mr. Hardcastle was a just one. His acting , . . .... ,. ' .1 1 - - " , was even ana it was eveniy gooa. Perhaps it was the most consistent piece of acting given. This trio would not discredit any amateur club I have seen. Ihe other eading parts needed further working -r 1 1 1 Up. 1U mem,, panituianjr, -. me unai test of good acting, that an actor should be acting all the time he is on the stage, was not acceptably met. For instance, Mr, Williams, who? for Freshmen Receive Their Medals. A Pleasing and En- ' tertaining List A most important ' duty in family history is that of naming the babies. Realizing the importance of this task the committee on Freshman Medals has taken, great pains to award the most appropriate titles to their younger brothers, the class of 1914. These are as follows: i L L: Aberuathy "Bull, of' the Woods." ; - - - Bi D. t Applewhite "Cock of the Walk,"-(in his own opinion). J. W. Battle "The Human Doll." W. S.

Of course the actor who is not speak ing should not obtrude himself unwar rantably; but the audience must know sub-consciously that he is there in his part. . This knowledge gives purpose to the presence of the actor speaking and carries conviction "with it. Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Beam are Freshman of promise. Mr. Beam's chief trouble was overacting- at times. especially when he was shy. . At other times he looked the part, carried him self well and acted with feeling. Mr. Lasley s movements and manner of speaking would require considerable reworking , before h is Kate Hardcastle created the necessary illusion. Of the minor parts Mr. Fonville as Stingo and as Sir Chas. Marlowe was excellent. Mr. Smith gave Diggory's asides in a sprightly manner, but it was not the manner of a servant. The club attempted a difficult classi cal drama, memorized it thoroughly, acted it well in parts, and developed considerable talent. This is au encour aging achievement, and both the club and its director deserves credit for it. Very truly Yours, John M, Booker, Was a Young Man and, Prominent in University Life. A Member of Class of 1901 A reverent stillness prevaded the campus Wednesday morning when it was learned that one "of the most be loved members of the faculty, Dr. Pal mer Cobb, had passed away in the Guild Hospital of New York City. ; Dr. Cobb had I een suffering for some time with organic heart trouble, being com pelled to give up his University duties early in the fall, and to take to his bed. Last November he left Chapel Hill for Philadelphia, hoping there to find relief, later goiug to the Guild Hospital of New York. Dr. Palmer Cobb was born at Black well, in Caldwell county, North, Caro lina, April 1, 1880. He was prepared for college in the schools of Danville, Va., entering the University of North Carolina in 1897, graduating with the degree of Ph. B. in 1901. He was a graduate student at the University of North Carolina, and at Columbia Uni versity, receiving from the latter the degree of A. M. in 1903 and that of Ph. D. in 1908. He was a student at the University of Jena, Germany, in 1903, and at Kiel University, Germany, in 1905-1906. He was successively in structor in French and German in the University of North Carolina during the session of 1901-1902, and tutor in German in the college of the City. of New York from 1903 to 1907. Ever since 1907 he had been associate pro fessor of German in the University of North Carolina. He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was married April 23, 1908, Miss Grace Plummer, of Philadelphia. His wife and a daughter two years of age are left to mourn him. Dr. Cobb was the author of several important articles on literary topics, mainly bearing on the science of lan guage which have appeared in various journals. Among his articles maybe mentioned "The Influence of E. T. A. Hoffman on the Tales of Edgar Allen Poe," published in Studies in Philolo gy ; "Poe and Hoffman" published in the South Atlantic Quarterly for Janu ary, 1909; "Hebbel's Use of Hexame ter in "Mutter und Kind," published in Modern Philology for January, 1910; "Edgar Allen Poe and Feiedrich Spiel fa agen. Their Theory of the Short Story" published in Modern Language Notes for March, , 1910; "Hebbel's Julia" a Forerunner of the Modern Drama," published in Studies in Phil ology. While the news of his death was not a surprise, it nevertheless came as a shock to the students and faculty of Chapel Hill. Classes were suspended the latter part of the morning, the sad news : was whispered from one to an other, while the college bell tolled in respect to the memory of a man who had been a strong leader in the life of the University.
