CAROLINA IS OUT
OF THE RUNNING
Wake Forest Wins Deciding
Game of Series By
3 Point Lead
EACH TEAM MADE ELEVEN FIELD GOALS
Before 800 people Carolina lost
to Wake Forest by three points
in Raleigh Auditorium .Tuesday-
night and is apparently out of
the 'championship contest. Car
olina played its best game in the
last hall", when she came within
three points of overcoming- a
seven point lead. I here was an
unusually large numbar of fouls
called and two men should have,
been disqualified for having" too
nianv personal fouls chalked up
against them. There were 27
fouls in alb The closest Hoiue-wiu-ul
ever f ot to the yame was

score was close. Wake Forest
sprang-into the lend a little at
first because of a favorably plac
ed basket.' In the second , half
Carolina pulled up to within two
points "oT their "o'ppouents but
before more could be done, first a
foul yoal by
the Baptists and
then the t
erees whistle closed
the contest.
The work on both sides was
characterized be 'good team work.

the cause being the guarding of
Chambers who put up a tine class
of work. He, however had a
shade on Long--.on foul tossing-.
Capt. Long- and Uowd, as usual,
were there with the cage work.

a first rater at center and gives
any man a lot of trouble. Ten

by numerous fouls and it was
foul g-oals that lost the game.
Akhounh the game was an-;
nounced as the championship de-,
cider that is by no means correct
as Trinity with difficulty de-'
feated Wake Forest Monday '
night. The latter two teams;
must play off their tie and even
after that Elon will have a claim
as she has won at least one game
from every Carolina team she has
played this season. Guilford is
entirely out of the contest and of
course A & M. has never been in
except the papers,
Captaiu Long- : and his team "Selfishness is the biggest sin
left Wednesday afternoon on the against God but the most far
Virginia trip. The first game reaching are drink and sexual un
scheduled is in LvnchburgV purity."

WEATHERFORD AND HURREY TO BE HERE
"... The largest gathering of stu
dent., that has been in Gerrard
Hall this year gave added power
to the stirring- message of E. C
Mercer last night. His subject
was: "The Fight of Every Red
Blooded College : Man Purity"
Before the bell had finished ring
ing there was little standing
room down stairs and in a few
moments the g-allery was almost
full. Mr. Mercer caught the at
teution of the men as he jumped
right into the midst of his mes
sage and held their rapt interest
to an impressive end. Plain
facts collected in the laboratory

vigor and energy as .'they fight

forced his development of the

college men everywhere.
With this background of facts

which included the physiolog-y of
cold water and vig-orous exercise
and the psycholog-y of turning to
an interesting- chapter in a book,
the picture of a fine girl, and the
substitution of the brain for
thought. Finally he appealed to
the students to get the power of.
God in their lives and . follow
Christ. Some of the sentences
picked at random follow:

CAROLINA PLAYS A
Guilford No Match For Re
juvenated Team. Score
Almost Tripled.
JOHNSON PLAYS RINGS AROUND "BIG ED"
From a spectators view point
the game with Guiltord on last
Thursday nignt was one of the
best of the season, fast and inter
esting from start to finish. For
four minutes after the game open
ed neither side scored. Then
Guilford shot two field goals
Here the enthusiasm of the ex
postulating crowd in the balcony
seemed to descend upon the play
ers, for the game picked up re
markably in pep. When Carolina
finally started to score, her goals
kept getting more and more fre
quent, until at the end of the first
half the score stood 17-7.
In the second half Guilford
seemed to feel considerable hesi
tancy in throwing- her , first goal.
Carolina's score, however, con
tinued to mount up. ' Guilford
fought hard, but none of her
players could throw g-oals. When
the. final whistle blew Carolina
was ahead 38-13. Among- the op
posing team was recognized the
face of our own former player,
"Big Ed", looming up at center.
Long's and Dowd's goal shoot
ing distinguished tliegame, while

CORRECT STATEMENT OF OUR FINANCES
The following- statement from Treasurer Woollen gives the
exact condition of the Athletic Association up to, date, excluding
basketball. It is ah improvement over the .statement recently pub
lished in the Tar Heel in that it concerns only matters handled by
the Student Athletic Association, not by the Alumni Committee.
Several items in the first statement, notably part of the salaries and
expenses of the football coaches and of the high school contests, be
longed rig-htly to the Alumni. Further, a mistake ; was found in
Cartmell's salary the Athletic Association paying- only $750. This
present statement shows that the condition of the Association is
much better than first reported, the fatal deficit being less than
$4,000. In justice to the Tar Heel it is only fair to say that the
former statement came directly from ex-Graduate Manager McLcn

made on the Association store as its finances and management have
been entirely separate from the Treasurer's books.
OUR FUTURE PHI BETTA KAPPA MEN

man Class for the fall term follows:
E. S. Booth, East Durham H. S. 1.2

However, the present . Freshman Class has only eleven men in the
premier class. 1916 furnished sixteen.
