OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 21 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1913 NO. 19 GENERAL HYGIENE LECTURES BEGUN Dr. MacNider Starts Series With Good Lectures to Full House "THE ORIGIN OF DISEASE" He Divides Man Into Pysiological and Pathological and Assigns Four General Causes for Student Diseases To a packed down stairs and a scattered gallery, Dr. MacNider .delivered the first of the general hygiene series of lectures in Ger rard Hall Monday evening1. He spoke on "TheOrigiu of Disease". It is doubtful if there has ever been given a lecture on the Hill which contained so much in such brief space. Dr. MacNider spoke for only about forty minutes, but in that time-he covered his sub ject remarkably, and was abso lutely clear at all times. He be gan with a short his'ory of medicine and the theories that have been held as to the causes of disease. He then divided man into the physiological and the pathological, and explained what he meant by each. Then he went into the origin or causes of dis ease: germs vegetable and ani mal, auto-intoxications, lack of work, and overwork. At the next lecture, which will be given Thursday evening, 29th, Dr. Mac Nider will take up "The Preven tion and Cure of Disease". All who attended the lecture Monday evening pronounced it fine. The few members of the faculty who were out enjoyed it greatly. Many who heard the lecture said that it was one of the best that they have heard since they have been on the Hill. . The schedule for the remaining lectures of the series is as fol lows: Dr. W. DcB.

UNIVERSITY SERMON Dr. Ralston Delivered the February Sermon Sunday The University sermon for Feb ruary was preached in Gerrard Hall Sunday morning by Dr. Ralston, pastor of the First Pres byterian church of Charlotte. The subject of Dr. Ralston's sermon was "The True and the False Education." The text chosen from Daniel 2-19 reads as follows: "Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven." The speaker related briefly the story of the captivity of Daniel and bis resi dence in the Royal University of Babylon, and noted his faithful ness, even when he was a young university student. The chief purpose, however, the speaker declared, to point out the difference between the educa tion that develops the man and that which develops only the in tellect. This difference was first brought out when the king de manded the astrologers to inter pret his dream. As long as the test was only ordinary the differ ence am not stana out promi nently. The religion of the astrologers was a polytheistic re ligion. Daniel, on the other hand, had brought the thought of monotheism, and of the om niscience of one God, from Judah. In his belief that all men are known to the mind of at least one being the all-knowing God, he had the major premise of all. hu man thought. "Young men, the major premise of all human think ing is one God, omniscient, omni potent, just and wise and good." In the second place, the true education is practical.

SPRING BASEBALL PRACTICE BEGUN First Call for Candidates Brings Out 56 Young Hopefuls COACH BOWERS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED The Development of a Battery is the Most Serious Problem Before the Coach. Prospects Not Brilliant 56 aspiring baseball artists were on the field Wednesday to greet Coach George Bowers on his first appearance in Chapel Hill. In spite of the chilly weath er the bails were snapped back and forth for more than an hour. No hitting was done, though, and the general workout was the gentelest. Coach Bowers comes to Carolina highly recommended. No less a baseball leader than Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athle tics wrote Nat Cartmell that he was eminently fitted to coach a college team. 'He has had exper ience both as a professional play er and as a coach. He played in the Tri-State League and last year was withjjAnderson in the Carolina Association. He has coached the De Lancey High School of Philadelphia and met with success there. His biggest job at Carolina will be the de velopment of a battery. "Gen eral" Lee, Eugene Wood, and Swink, the mainstays of lastyear, are not in college and their places will be hard to fill. The infield with Captain Edwards, Baily and Leak is fairly well fortified and though none of last year's outfield are in college, their places will not be so hard to fill. But the success ofthe team depends on the pitchers and catchers to be developed from a none too promis ing lot of candidates. Practice begins every fair day Jon the field at 2:30. In bad weather the bat tery candidates work out in the Gym. The first game is with Oak Ridge on March 19. A delightful party was given by Mrs Kluttz, at her home, on Friday evening, in honor of Miss Crawford and Miss Rankin, of G. F. C. Dr. John Berry is in Chapel Hill ona visit to his mother. His sister, who has been very ill, is better. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1913 Sept. 27 Wake Forest at Chapel Hil Oct. 4 Virginia Medical College " " " 11 Davidson at Greensboro "18 University of South Carolina at Columbia S. C. " 25 V. P. I. at Winston-Salem (probably) Nov. 1 University of Georgia at Athens, Ga. " 8 Washington and Lee at Lynchburg, Va. " 15 A. & M. at Raleigh " 27 University of Virginia at Richmond COACH TRENCHARD HERE He is Now at Work on 'Foot ball for Next Year Coach "Doggie" Trenchard is at home to all students at his room, No. 1, Battle. He has established headquarters there and has opened his campaign for the football teams of the next three years. To help him he asks the aid of the entire student body; and as he is particularly anxious to know as many as pos sible, he asks that they com to see him, to talk about football, if they please, or about anything else from national politics to Junior Prom. ' Coach Trenchard has come to Chapel Hill this year far in ad vance of the football season in or der to get in contact with the men here, to become accustomed to the atmosphere of the Univer sity, and to learn thorougnly the methods of the past. This might seem superflous in a man who knows the University and the State as well as Trenchard does. But the move shows clearly that no stone will be. left unturned in the effort to pull Carolina football teams out of the rut of the past few years. Trenchard and Grad uate Manager McLendon are busily engaged in making plans for next year. The schedule will be published in a few days. An active search for new material is the business oa hand now. This is a feature in which everybody can help.':-Trenchard will live in Chapel Hill from now on. SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomores meet Tuesday night to decide about their ban quet. Committees were named to arrange for the time and place of the banquet and all other necessary preparations A strong committee was chosen by the class to select fitting names for the best, sorriest, "freshest," and most promising youngsters of 1916. The date, place, etc., of the banquet will soon be announced. Mr. Zack Whitaker was chosen by the class to manage the Soph baseball team this spring. The class gave a committee the power of looKing into the possi bilities of a Sophomore Hop dur ing Junior Week. Miss Nannie Smith was the hostess of a charming sewing ; party on if riday morning. COMBINED MUSICAL CLUBS SWEEP STATE Six Western Towns Are Over come by Unprecedented Flood of Music . MANAGER HUNTER RESCUES COIN Rights and Huffman Wear Pumps Through "Watery Scale to Preserve Meeks' OrangeTBlossomed Voice Last week J. Speight Hunter's troupe, ; the Combined Musical Clubs of the University of North Carolina left Broadway (Franklin street) for a six days' engage ment, touring Western. North Carolina. In rapid succession six cities were visited. Morganton, first stop, gave the warmest welcume in its history, even though the streets were so watery that the boys had to wear pumps. Lenoir gave a striking display of true Carolina spirit. The , excellent high school is under tne manage ment of Carolina boys and is one of the most up-to-date schools in the State. - A crowded house, hospitable entertainment, and ex temporaneous concert at Daven port College, not to speak of punch served by dainty fingers, .linger in memory. Hickory, happy little city, turned out en masse, rosy cheeks, escorts and all. Here, as usual, probably the snap concert of the trip was given, and for the sake of an ablativeabsolute, M. Henri Meeks, of the orange blossomed voice, (see last number of Hickory news paper), being recipient of many pinky notes and R. Huffman per sisting in hiring a fish wagon to run over the music in various scales. At Winston-Salem the Club was, of course, captivated by Salem College Seniors, who con ducted the party over the build ings and grounds after a hearty reception. 1 his was followed by a smoker in the college office, by courtesy of Mr. Rice. 'A fair sized, appreciative audience en joyed the concert, which was fol lowed by a reception at D. Rights' home. Friday found the Club in Mt. Airy, accent on the Airy. After the concert ..an enjoyable dance was attended by the mem bers who were not frozen in the slightly heated opera house. , Sat urday, the last, was spent in i Greensboro. An automobile i drive, avast, intelligent and at I tractive audience, and a delight jful reception by the Normal Se- . I niors, crowned a happy and suc- jcessful trip. The musicians were triumph? ant. Everybody enjoyed the con certs. Henry Meeks was the par-. ticular star, never stopping at less than two encores. Prof. Sneath's work, both as expert and trainer, was clearly recognized and appre ciated. Locke McCorkle was a ( Continued on fourth page) li. V. Wilson Thursday 271 Or
