THE TAR OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 23 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. CM THURSDAY. MARCH 4, 1915 NO. 20 LATEST TRACK PROSPECTS CAROLINA LOSES TO ELON JUNIOR WEEK APPROACHES Y.M. C. A. ELECTS OFFICERS SENIORS' LAST BANQUET The New Material is Both Promising and Plentiful Spring- weather has caused a 100 per cent rise in track stock. The old men, Captain Woollcott, Patterson, Smith, Whiting-, and Ilomewood are already display ing mid-season form, while last year's scrub men are showing up just as well as the wearers of N. C.'s. For the sprint there is a fast field to select from. Clip Smith, last year's N. C. man in the 220, Goat Wright and Hugh Black, South Carolina's fastest prep school man, are showing up best so far, but Williams, last year's state high school champion sprin ter, and Wood, a strongly built new candidate, are also good for points in the varsity meets. The quarter is one of Carolina's surest events with Patterson, who for two years has won time after time, and McDufiie, who bids fair to run Little Pat a tic in al most every race. With steady work Gus Graham's stride should give him a chance with the other two. Seymour Whiting1, the fleet of foot, is the premier half miler. Two minutes flat is expected of him this year. In the mile Rand bids fair to be an equal ot the Southern Champion, ''Earl Patterson, two years ago captain of the team, while Pitts is never five yards behind. Following- these two leaders is a numerous bunch of splendid material, of whom York, 1918, looks best. Harrison is leading the 2 mile field. Upchurch, although very erratic, is just about as good. Wright will be the first man in the broad jump with at least twenty-three feet. Captain Wooll cott will be second, with Hatcher and Rinimer as g-ood probabili ties. In the high jump Woollcott is expected to go almost six feet, while Kranner, a new man with long legs and powerful spring, ought to stick right by. Wright, Graham, Davis, and McKane may be used for this event also. Ilomewood is booked for eleven feet flat in the vault. Isley and Davis are also out for this event. For the hurdles there is Wooll cott of last year and a fast crew of good looking new men. Davis, winner of the shot put in the High School Meet last year, has already made thirty seven feet eleven inches-over a oot better than has been made here in several years. Ramsay is pushing him close, while Hog-an is almost up with both. Ramsav looks srood in the discus,' having made over a hun i : ' Til ROSS "CRANE Gerrard Hall. Saturday Last Game of Season Ends in Defeat by Four Points Carolina was defeated by Elon College last Saturday night at Elon in the final game of the season. This was the second time these two basketball teams have met this season, the first game being won by Carolina 15 to 9, and the last being- lost 19 to 15. The game Saturday night closed a splendid season for Elon since they have won from every colleg-e in the State. The feature of the game was the work of Tennent, Carolina's left guard," who held Moorefield scoreless, and did some splendid passing- in addition to his close guarding. Long and Andrews were the only Carolina men to score, Long caging the ball three times and Andrews four. An drews was stationed at forward in place of Johnson, who was un able to play on account of inju ries received on the Virginia trip. McCauley Won the game for Elon by throwing nine fouls. Carolina gained very little by fouls, getting only one out of eight chances. Lineup.

Plans Being Perfected for Seven Sensational Days With the arrival of warm weather and new spring suits, everybody's thoughts begin to conjure up visions of Junior Week and the manifold diversions which that time implies. The d a n ce leaders are swamped with letters from program and invitation manufacturers, and correspondence in carried on daily with the leaders of different or chestras in several cities. The committee from the Junior class has petitioned the Faculty for three holidays, the 7, 8, and 9 of April, but the petition has not yet been acted on. Three night dances will be given; the first by Order of Gimghouls, the second by the Juniors, and the third by the German Club. There will probably be also an informal afternoon dance. The dances will be lead by M. N. Oates, J. G. Cowan, and W. O. Huske re spectively. The Senior Stunt, which is al ways one of the events of Junior Week, is in the hands of J. S.' Bryan, chairman,; W. P. M. Weeks, W. D. Kerr, and B. B. Holder. It will be presented Friday night, the 9th. The com mittee has been working indus triously, and their plans are tak ing the shape of a finished prod uct. While there is always a good deal of mystery concerning the actual nature of the Senior Stunt, it is rumored that the performance this year will be a musical comedy. The class is fortunate in having among its members several men of proven dramatic ability, and this fact gives assurance that the present ation will be a good one. The following men have been appointed to arrange a Junior Stunt: Charlie Coggin. Marma duke Cox, Barney Pitts, Bob House, Mac Lewis, Frank Jarrel, Tom Linn, and Francis Brad. shaw. The committee for arranging the Sophomore Stunt consists of Jim Hoover, chairman; W. T. Polk, and J. A. Capps. They have almost completed plans for their stunt, but no practice has yet been held. The Freshmen have not yet taken any action in regard to the stunt that they will present, but it is expected that they will be on hand to uphold their share of the entertainment. It has been customary hereto fore for the Senior baseball ag gregation to challenge a chosen team from the faculty to a game during the the holidays, and it is not improbable that some of the Concluded from third page. he Night 8:45, Immediately After Society K; Kato Speaks' on Religious Situation in Japan At the regular Tuesday night meeting of the Y. M. C. A. the report of the nominating com mittee was accepted unanimous ly. The report of the commit tee was: J. Merrel Parker for President, JVancis O. Clarkson for vice-President, L. H. Edwards for Treasurer, and F. F. Brad shaw for Secretary. A retiring address was made by the Ex-President, W. P. Ful ler, in which he treated in a brief manner the development of the Y. M. C. A. during the past year. Among the most important de velopments are: the Lost and Found Bureau, the Book Ex change, the Boy Scouts Organi zation, the Industrial Work at Carrboro, the Fresh man Continu ation Committee, and the Nero Work. After Fuller's address, K. Kato made a talk on "Christianity in Japan," in which he told of the history of Christianity in Japan and some of the present problems and hopes of Christianity in that place. He estimated the number of Christian workers in Japan at 8,000 and the number of Chris tians at 170,000, aside from many who are Christians at heart but not by avowal. He further spoke of the confusion caused in the Japanese mind by the multiplicity of Christian Denominations, which seem to be fighting each other, and the prospect of the formation of a Federation of all the churches including the Ro man Catholic, in order to present a united front. In conclusion Kato spoke of the necessity of the missionary's seeking to in still Christianity into present day Japanese ideas and customs rather than attempting to destroy these customs and habits of thought and build entirely new ones. ex-stars will be working into their old-time form some of these warm afternoons. A regular baseball game has been scheduled with Bingham of Asheville to be played in Chapel Hill on the 9th. Then, the first game with Virginia will be play ed, in Greensboro on the 10th, which, no doubt, a large number of students will journey to see. In addition to all this, the high school debate will be held during the latter part of the gala week. No man can complain that the occasion will be dull, for no mat ter in what direction his tastes maybe, there wiil certainly be something on the diverse program to interest him. . - Subscribe to the Tar IIkkl. amous Cartoonist Class of 1915 Has Enjoyable Time at University Inn Time nine p. m; place The University Inn; occasion the Senior Banquet. Never has a happier bunch of Seniors assem bled at a final banquet than the members of 1915. The briny tear caused by the thought of an early departure from' "our beloved Alma Mater," as Mr. Noble would say, was not in evidence. No, the Seniors are not an unappre ciative lot, at " least not all of them, they are just happy be cause a change of residence is near. ,. Then the speeches someone said that the Seniors had every professor in college. While that was not exactly true, they did have a great number. The Facul ty speakers were: President Gra ham, Dr. Ilerty, Dr. II. V. Wil son, Dr. Kaper, Prof. Noble, and Frank Graham. Among the student speakers were George Eutsler, Toast master, W. P. Fuller, B. L. Field, G. A. Martin, W. R. Taylor, and L. B. Gunter. These fellows abounded in what, by mistake, might be called wit. Walter Fuller made one of the best talks of the evening in spite of the introduc tion given him by the toastmas ter. To be a "Big Little Man" is a position worth striving for. His 'classmates will remember his speech when others have been forgotten. Dr. Herty gave the class sonu useful advice. He knew vherel he talked and spoke as an authori ty. Dr. Ilerty was a little sin prised at his invitation in view of the last exams. Dr. Wilson and Dr. Raper gave just what was expected of thein two of the best talks of th evening. The committee is to be congratulated upon securing these two men. Of course the Seniors had Mr. Noble there. Why shouldn't they? He was the. life of the oc casion. No one here could have spoken in a manner more pleasiiu: to his hearers. But Frank Graham! His talk seemed to center at and revolve around No. 2 Carr or rather its inmates. He delighted his hear ers by a running fire at Fitzger ald and Nance. Frank always speaks of the highest and noble t things; and No. 2 Carr is grati fied to have been referred to. But no more! The Seniors have almost finished their course here. Each one came away feel ing better. The occasion was al together a happy one. Two co eds were, present, Misses Lynch and Stone. They added what was noticeably lacking beauty. i
