TAR HEELS WIN GAME

TOWARD END
35 TO 24 WAS THE FINAL SCORE
Five Hundred Watch Down-Homers
Conquer the Virginians for
First Time in
Basketball
,By a sudden rush in the last
eight minutes of play Carolina de
feated Virginia last Saturday at
Lynchburg by a score of 35 to 24.
Although slightly in the lead the
Tar Heels did not nit their stride
until the spirit of teamwork, the
true star of the contest, began to
work a perfect passing game.
With the score 19 to 19 and on
ly eight minutes to play, Eaby
intercepted a wild pass by a Vir
ginia guard and shot the ball to
Buzz, who dribbled, and finding
Grandin uncovered near the center
of the floor passed to the Tar Heel
pivot man, who transferred it to
Mac. Shep, seeing the way things
were going, fell in line and caged
a cedar-bird. Finding this method
profitable, the White and Blue re
peated the stunt with the same re
sult. That start sealed the Vir
ginians' fate, for the machine that
had been started did not feel like
stopping until the referee assured
them there was no need of playing
over the- time usually allotted for
mo half. Carolina led by 11
points when the timekeeper called
i halt.
Virginia was clearly out-classed
it all stages of the game. The
Lynchburg News says : "The

PLAN FOR STAGING TWEFTH
NIGHT NEARLY COMPLETED
Following up the idea of the
Shakesperean pageant held here
last year, another pageant will be
given this spring on the same gen
eral plan as the one last spring.
The General Arrangements Com
mitteewith Prof. J. II. Hanford
at its head, has invited the Omega
Delta Society and the Community
Club to cooperate in formulating
the plans and putting the things
through as they did last year.
A Shakespearean play, Twelfth
Night, will be presented in the
evening by students of the Univer
sity, and a few ladies of the com
munity. The acting version has
come and try-outs have already be
gun under the direction of Prof.
McKie. The afternoon will be
given over to a kind of community
festival in which the children of
the public schools, townspeople,
and ladies of the communitv wili
have a part. More emphasis wiil
be laid -this year on songs and
dances. Another feature of the af
ternoon program will be the pre
sentation of several one-act plays
written by students. The purpose
of the committee in giving thee
plays is to encourage the expres
sion of original talent in dramatic
production. Pantomimes and the
like may also be given a place in
the program. In all original pro
ductions the committee is especial
ly anxious to get scenes connected
with the early history of the Uni
versity. A permanent outdoor stage will
be erected for the pageant this
year. Several spots are under con
sideration, as for instance the gen
tle slope down back of the new
power plant where a little strearr.
would render the acoustic effecti
admirable. It is the intention of
the stage committee to construct :t
permanent outdoor theatre that
will seat several thousand people.
PLATTSBURG CAMPS NOW FREE
The splendid military training
and experience that is to be ob
tained at the Plattsburg military
camps has been placed within the
reach of every student of the Uni
versity. Heretofore all men at
tending these camps, whether Sen
iors or Juniors, have had to pay
their own expenses for transpor
tation, uniforms and subsistence.
That is, this was the case until
congress passed the Army Appro
priation Bill on August 29, 1916,
providing for an appropriation of
$2,000,000 to meet these expenses.
Up to 1916, the military train
ing camps had been conducted
without having any definite legal
status. After the National De
fense Act was passed, however,
these camps have not only a legal
status, but also the attendance free
for all.
It is possible that more will put
in applications than the War De
partment can provide for. ' As far
as is known now, the Department
expects to provide for approxi
mately fifty' thousand men. .There
fore, it would be advisable for all
who wish to attend any one of "the
four camps to handlintheir ap
plications as soon as possible to

SHAKESPEAREAN NUMBER
OF STUDIES IN PHILOLOGY
Along with the rapid progress
in extension work and social ser
vice in the University , there has
been in recent years a correspond
ing growth in- literary learning
and scholarship, as is shown by
the development of what used to
be an occasional university pam
phlet into tone of the scholarly
journals of the country. Five
years ago Studies in Philology
was merely a series of occasional
issues containing monoaphs by
members of the language depart
ments in the University. Two
years ago it became a quarterly
journal 'but contained as a rule
only essays read by professors and
visitors before the local Philologi
cal Club. The Bain Memorial,
published last year, drew upon a
larger world Of scholarship, and the
April issue of this year will con
tain even a greater , amount of
scholarly genius. It will carry ar
ticles by such scholars as Profes
sors Kittredge of Harvard, Flet
cher of Columbia, Manly of Chi
cago, Osgood of Princeton and Al
den of Leland Stanford. Yale will
be represented by Professor Tuck
er Brooke, whose edition of the
Shakespeare Apocryplia and The
Tudor Drama are well known. Mr.
W. J. Lawrence of Dublin, who
has frequently published articles
in British learned journals, writes
on "The Mystery of Lodowick
Barry," his first American contri
bution. Professor J. Q. Adams of
Cornell discusses the Blackfriars
Monastery at the time of the Dis
solution, with several illustrations.
Professor Graves of Trinity Col
lege, whose article in Studies in
Philology last year occasioned a
two page review in the Modern
Language Review of London, con
tributes an article on "Playing in
the Dark." Professor Osgood's

SERIES RESULTS IN TRIPLE TIE
The cla33 basketball series was
to have ended on T'uesday the
twenty-seventh; but it so happen
ed that the final statistics showed
that there was a tie between the
freshmen, sophomores, and seniors.
Since this contest was judged on a
percentage basis, the only way for
it to be satisfactorily decided is to
have each team play the other one
game. In the event of a second
tie, the points are to be evenly
distributed among the three con
testants. The games as played in
the first series are as follows:

DR. POTEAT GIVES TALK
ON THE LIFE OF CHRIST
"THE THIRTY SILENT YEARS" IS
THEME OF INTERESTING
LECTURE SUNDAY
LARGE AUDIENCE WAS PRESENT
Wake Forest President Presents the
Private Life of Jesus During His
Early Years in an Unusually
Striking Manner
"Read the Scriptures with
gumption, as well as with your
eyes, and you will change many of
your conceptions about Cnrist's
early life," was the main idea ex
pressed by President W. L. Po
teat of Wake Forest College in his
address on "The Thirty Silent
Years" in Gerrard Hall Sunday
night.
Dr. Poteat showed the falsity
of tho conception that Jesus spent
most of his life in a humble house
hold and in poverty, He discuss
ed Christ's early environment . as
to household, education, country,
and city.
Jesus had two sisters and four
brothers, James, , Joseph; Simon
and Jude. These men were not
his cousins. That idea was neces
sitated by the Roman Catholic doc
trine of the perpetual virginity of
Mary. James and J ude were lit
erary men. They wrote the best
Greek in the New Testament.
"His brothers were all married,
too," said Dr. Poteat, "as all men
in good society are." His father,
! Joseph, was an extremely devout
man, and Mary, his mother, a wo
man of affairs, versed in the liter
ature of the people.
"Some persons," continued Dr.
Poteat, "try to establish the di
