THE MEETING THURSDAY
"The newspaper man in North
Carolina must be a well rounded
man," declared; President E. E.
Britton, in his opening address
before the State Newspaper Insti
tute Thursday afternoon. "He
must be able to write up a dog
fight, a funeral and political cau
cus with the same amount of sin
cerity and tact. We in North Car
olina are too prone to specialize
the influence of our paper and
make it either agricultural, po
litical, or commercial in its na
ture. And it is the purpose of this
institute to discuss these things
and thus teach others and help oth
ers teach us."
W. It. Dixon, of tho Wilson Co-operator,-
discussed the various
agencies of progress and the prob
lem of yoking up these agencies
for the common welfare. ' "The
day of individualism has passed,"
he said. "This is an age of team
work." Mr. Dixon then showed
how all agencies of progress are
being yoked up and now it is the
proper function of the newspaper
to be that yoke binding them all
together. lie illustrated his prop:
osition by citing specific examples
of co-operation in Wilson. Other
instances of the value. of co-operation
wero. given by various mem
bers of tho institute.

PLANNING BEST BASKET
BALL SEASON IN HISTORY
COACH PEACOCK HAS GOOD MA
TERIAL IN HAND CLASS
GAMES PLAYED
Old Commons once more is re
sounding to the tread of hurrying
feet, for Coach Peacock is getting
his material, in hand, and is plan
ning one of the best Basketball
seasons that the campus has seen.
Coach Peacock put basketball on
the map in Georgia, and it is ex
pected that he will turn out the
best team we have had vet. He has
some good material. Tennent,
Wootcn, McDuffie, Folger, Tandy,
Scrngs, Buzz Tennent, besides
some promising Freshmen are ex
pected to show up well.
The class league has started,
and while none of the classes has
as yet anything like a representa
tive team, there have been some
warm games staged. The' Sopho
mores beat the-Freshmen 11-2 in
a pretty good game, the Freshmen
showing lack of unity. The Jun
iors beat the Seniors 23-22 mainly
through their superior passing
work.
It is too, soon as yet even to pick
tho men for the squad, much less
for the team. The varsity will not
get together for team practice until
after the holidays.
Gaul's Holy City will be played
at the Episcopal Church, Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. All are cor
dially invited to attend. '
CHAPEL HILL HIGHS MEET
CHARLOTTE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Like a phalanx and a legion will
be the meeting of the Chapel Hill
High School football team and that
from Charlotte on Emerson Field
this afternoon. Chapel Hill is a
new contender, hut the heavy team
has gone like wildfire this year and
copped, the Eastern State cham
pionship without trouble. The fast
bunch : from Charlotte won the
State championship last year and
with blood in her eye, and the hon
or of the west to uphold, Charlotto"
comes to give the husky Chapel
Hill pig-skin warriors the tussel of
their .'young yives. It will be re
memhered that the Charlotte Highs
fought the first year reserve team
to a tie at the beginning of the
season, and this makes them the
campus favorite to win. The teams
will line-up as follows: ,

LITTLE THEATRE MAKES
DEBUT ON FOURTEENTH
WIMBERLY, s MERIDETH AND
GREEN WILL BE SEEN IN
LEADING ROLES
On Thursday, December 14, the
Dramatic Club will give its first
performance since establishing
the "Little Theatre" plan. Three
carefully "selected, ono act plays,
will be presented in Gerrard Hall
that night, and those wha have fol
lowed Carolina dramatics during
the past four or five 'years know
that a pleasant evening's entertain
ment is in store, for them. Espe
cially so, when they are informed
that stars like Merddith, Green
and Wiin berly are toplay leading
roles. . . I
The three plays to jie given are :
"'Old Cronies" , by Wimberly and
Green, the one playing - the role
of ah old student and the other that
of a sea captain. Following this
play, Chase and MeClamroek will
present a one ; act play entitled :
"The Glittering Gate." The even
ing's performance wljl be conclud
ed by Meredith, : Jolfc son and Jor
dan, who will present "Food." '
The Dramatical ub will not
make a fall trip as has been the
custom heretofore, but will con
tent itself by giving . this single
performance before the student
body. Sometime in the spring
another set of three one-act plays
will be presented. If the new
plan proves successful on the Hill,
a spring trip may bp arranged.:
Saturday, Dec. 16. The Ath
letic Association will meet for the
purpose of electing football man
agers and assistant football man
agers and any other officers which
may be necessary to create or elect.
LOOKING FORWARD TO BIG
TIME AT FALL DANCES
. Just four days till' Thursday
and dress suits will. be pulled out
of trunks, closets and wardrobes,
and the presser will be kept busy
for a few days getting things in
readiness for the dances. There
will at that time be something else
besides leaves breezing around the
campus. Although at this season
flowers are out of style there will
bo fragrant odors wafted about and
the song of the birds in Spring
will not he in a class with the soft
and mellow gurgle of these Terp
sichrean Nymphs. Pleasure will
replace sorrow and frill and finery
fresh from the tailors will make
their debut. At this season men
are wont to invoke the aid of Bac
chus to furnish the spirit for the
occasion hut as he has moved one
State farther away from us proba
bly the inconvenience will cause
him to be absent this time or at
any rate to be delayed until it is
too late to take an active part in
the merry making. ; .
. Hats off to Mr. Thornton,
"Buzz" Tennent, and company.
They have scooped the Tar Heel
on all the. important news this
week. The "Press Association News
is a real achievement. Is it im
possible that the Tar Heel may
some time in the dim and distant
future be ' metamorphosed into a
metropolitan daily ? ,
BON FIRE CELEBRATION,
FOR WINNING WARRIORS
MONSTER TORCHLIGHT PARADE
SPEECHES BY FACULTY
AND PLAYERS
-. The period of victory for Caro
lina was closed last Saturday with
ceremonies eminently fitted to the
occasion. . After eleven years of
waiting it was only to be expected
that the college should break loose
when victory over our old rivals
was at last secured.
Elaborate preparations had been
made to. make the affair a success,
and great "pep'' was shown in
building the bon fire and preparing
for the parade. At 7:30 every
body who could, squeezed into the
chapel to hear and see. Prof. Noble
was the leading spirit of the cele
bration, dividing honors with cheer
leader Parker. President Graham
and Coach Campbell both made
.short speeches on Carolina spirit.
Several members of, the team who
were present also made short talks
to J ho "effect that it was all very
fine, and that they were very glad
it had turned out the way it' had.
Tandy wound up the Gerrard Hall
part of the ceremonies, after Dr.
Lawson had exhibited the ball
which had hen through - the mill,
by reading a number of telegrams
of congratulation from old alum
ni.. : ;-.
The parade was then formed,
the co-eds leading and the ghosts
bearing torches' of laths and oil

CLASS TENNIS TOURNAMENT
HAS DRAWN TO A CLOS7
The class tennis tournament
which has just, drawn , to a close
is an evidence of the unusual
amount of interest being taken in
that sport this year. The winners
in their respective classes are :
Freshmen, Harvey, Capt., and
Arrasmith ; Sophomore, Feimster,
Capt., and Yokely ; Juniors,
Prince, Capt., and Lynch or
Gwynn and Seniors, Perry, Capt.
and Revel. The captains are the
class champions and the outstand
ing players on each team. The
tournament started) November' 1
with 75 entrants, more than ever
before in a class tournament. The
weather and Thanksgiving holi
days, have caused the affair to he
so long drawn out.
The most interesting matches
were between Harvey and Arra
smith, and Prince and Gwynn,
while Perry and Revel had to play
for two days before a decision
could be reached. Prince, Harvey,
Feimster and Perry showed up
well and with more experience
should make good varsity material.
The class teams are about equal
and the class championship is
doubtful, but the odds vscem to
favor the Juniors and Seniors.
Tho interclass games will be play
ed next spring, the winners of
which will receive, their class
numerals.
The additional courts and fine
weather have combined to make
tennis one of the most popular
sports on the Hill, and it is hoped
that the interest now being mani
fested will serve to produce more
varsity material " than has been
available heretofore.

relations in the past. Going back

pare for war, and that entangling
alliances should be avoided.. "The
