STRONG SCHEDULE FACES
THE VARSITY TRACK TEAM
Tho revised schedule for 1917
is as follows:
Washington and Lee at Lexing
ton, Va., April 14.
Virginia at Charlottesville, Va.,
(Pending), April 2i.
State Meet at Chapel ILill, April
28.
South ' Atlantic Meet at Char
lottesville, May 12.
The favorable weather that has
prevailed here for the past two
weeks has brought out the largest
number of track aspirants in the
history of the sport 'here. ' Be
tween , fifty and sixty candidates
are out'for the squad. But Cap
tain Farthing says that this is not
enough: He wants fifty men try
ing for every position 1 "
Most of the men have gotten
limbered up and are now putting
in some hard work daily. The
dashes and distances are showing
up strong, but the hurdles, jumps,
and pole-vault are unusually weak.
There is scarcely any one out for
these positions as present,- and
Captain Farthing invites every
student who is not an invalid, halt,
maimed, or blind to come out and
fill these weak places. "Carolina
can not put out a winning team,"
he states, "unless there are candi
dates for every event. Remember
the two straight victories over Vir
ginia, and do your patriotic
duty!"
The try-outs for the varsity
squad will be held in about three
weeks. If Coach Brown gets the
material to work on, he hopes to
develop as successful a team as
that of last year.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
AT I. A. E. E. MEETING
Those who were present are well
agreed that the meeting of the I.
A. E. E. held last Thursday night
was tho most interesting one of the
.Year. The attendance was large,
all Jho students of the various en
gineering departments being in
vited, and the discussion was un
usually interesting,' due in most
part to tho excellent paper of Mr.
A. C. Forney on "Single Phase
Traction."
Mr. Forney's lecture was illus
trated by views of various-types

ELECTION OF OFFICERS
ATY. M.C. A. MEETING
DR. MOSS CONTINUES HIS TALKS
ON THE LIFE OF JESUS
CHRIST
At the weekly Y. M. C. A.
meeting, Tuesday night, the offi
cers for next year were elected.
They are as follows: President, W,
T. Steel; Vice-President, W. R
Wunsch ; Secretary, W. II. Steph
enson ; Treasurer, Theodore Kond-
thaler.
Dr. Moss continued the talks
on the life of Jesus. It was one of
tiie most interesting talks of the
year. Dr. Moss said that in try
ing to find out who Jesus is, it is
necessary to know who it is trying
to find out ; in other words, who
Christ is, depends upon who
it is studying Christ. Christ was
an individual, he said, who lived
in the region of truth, goodness
and beauty a man who lived in
the physical, human and spiritual.
FACULTY FIVE SWAMPS
GRAD. STUDENTS QUINT
In one of the most comical basket-ball
games ever seen in Chapel
Hill, the graduate students were
defeated by the faculty Thursday
night of last week, by the score of
31 to 5. For the faculty, Coach
Campbell was easily the star, be
ing in almost every play, and at
times showing his old-time form,
coupled with some of that never
dying pep which earned for him
the coveted title of AU-American
half-back, while a student at Har
vard. For the Graduates, Holmes
and Totten were the stellar per
formers, the former scoring all
the graduates' points. The line
up was as follows: Faculty, for
wards, Steadman and Campbell;
center, Johnson ; guards, James
and Turlington.
Graduates : Forwards, Lasley,
R., and Holmes ; center Baum
gartner; guards, Carter and Tot

Field goals, Steadman, 4;

TOM RUFFIN TALKS
AT STUDENT FORUM
Tom Ruin's subject for discus
sion in Chapel, Thursday morn
ing was, "Compulsory Military
Training in the' University."
"Just at this time," said Ruffiu,
"when we see that wa ris very pro
bable and when we realize the pe
culiar condition of the United
States, we begin to look around
for adequate means of defense. We
have 38,000 miles of coast line
which cannot be mined or ade
quately fortified; our navy is in
sufficient to patrol this vast boun
dary, and would be powerless once
the line of defense is broken; so
the only defense worth while is a
large body of well trained men.
Our internal transportation facili
ties are bad ; the railroads are
built for commercial activities
only, and cannot mobilize an army
quickly enough to defend our most
strategic points."
"ThiPn what is the most efficient
plan for securing these trained

SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE
NOW CLAIMS OVER 50 MEN
LIGHT SCRIMMAGING BETWEEN
WHITES AND BLUES DAILY
OCCUPATION
With 56 men reported up to
date for spring football, practice
has begun in earnest. Several var
sity menj Williams, Grimes, Har
old, Ramsay and Barden, are as
sisting in coaching the new mater
ial such fundamentals as interfer
ence, falling on the ball and tackl
ing, A dozen men from last year's
freshman squad are out and doing
hard work. . Besides these the ma
jority have had little or no expe
rience in football. So far the back
field is better represented than the
line, so the coach has urged more
substitute linesmen to report
Light scrimmage began Wed
nesday. Th esquad was divided
into two general teams the
Whites and the Blues. In the pre
liminary skirmish the Whites
were victorious 12-0. These scrim
ages will continue until warm
weather and baseball ' interfere.
There will be no summer camp
this year although balls - will be
given the kickers in order that
they may keep their "toes" in trim.

U. OFN. C. ORGANIZATION
SCHEME IS LAUNCHED
The local committee of the In
tercollegiate Intelligence Bureau,
launched in Wellington, D. C,
February 9, with the University
as a member, is fast getting itself
in position to answer favorably a
telegram like the following:
"The Department of War wants
100 men 20 electrical engineers,
30 chemical engineers, and 50 men
for hospital work."
Not that such a message has yet
been received, but in the event of
war, the committee will be prepar
ed to fill an order of similar na
ture in the shortest possible time.
Dean McClellan, of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, inaugurated
the movement with a call for rep
resentatives from all the colleges,
universities and technical schools
of the United States to meet in
Washington for the purpose of for
mulating plans for an organization
to assist the Department of War
in the event of international trou
ble. Fully fifty institutions ans
wered the call by sending delegate.
L. Ames Brown represented the
University of North Carolina at
this conference.
The movement is the work of
college men ; they create and put
the machinery in running order.
With the exception of giving its
sanction, the National Govern
ment has no part whatever in the
organization. ' The formulation of
all plans, peculiar to the different
institutions, is left to the adju
tants of the different local bureaus
who are appointed by the presi
dents of the respective colleges.
President Graham has appoint
ed Dr. J. B. Bullitt Adjutant for
the University, and he in turn has
formed his committee withj the
following members of the faculty
Dr. Jos. II. Pratt, Dr. A. H. Pat
terson, P. II. Winston, Dr. Alvin
S. Wheeler, .and Thomas F. niek-
crsou. This committee in turn is
making a survev of the students

PLANS FOR PAGEANT
RAPIDLY MATERIALIZE
: Progress towards the pageant
has been considerable in the last
few davs. The cast for Twelfth
Night has not been fully decided
on but there is an abundance of
intelligent material available for
the roles especially the female
roles. Music incidental to the
play is being worked on by the
orchestra and a double male quar
tette. The afternoon part of the per
formance will be composed of little
plays and several folk songs and
games by the school children in
costumes of pease blossoms, bum-'
ble bees, grass blades, milk maids
and many other such picturesque
ones.
The plays will be dramatiza
tions of scenes from Dr.. Battle's
History and scenes from Eliza
bethan novels. Mr. Turlington
has selected suitable scenes from
Dr. Battle's History and it is
hoped that as many students as
have time will try dramatizing
some of these scenes.
It is the intention of the com
mittee to have the pageant this
year as composite an affair as pos
sible. Members of Dr. Foerster's class
in composition have submitted
some interesting work in drama
tization already and it is under-;
stood that several others are at
work on similar dramatic sketches.
If the idea is properly worked
out the result will be a combina
tion of the Old English Pageant
such as was ours last year and
the American College Historical
Pageant like that of Yale last year.
JULIAN S. CARR FELLOWSHIP
Announcement has been made

FAST PLAYING EXHIBITED
AGAINST GUILFORD QUINT
V. M. I., V. P. I AND . VIRGINIA
AMONG VICTIMS OF WHITE
AND BLUE
Hitting a stride the equal of
which has never been seen before
on the local court, and that at the
very start of the game, the Caro
lina basketeers ran up a; score of
55 to 28 on Guilford in the closing
game of the season here Saturday.
In the first three minutes of
play the Tar Heels scored four
field goals while their opponents
failed to get control of the ball.
. By getting ( the tip at center,
Carolina netted goal after goal on
clever signal plays.. The fast
playing of the forwards, and con
sistent work of the guards contrib
uted to the best exhibition of real
basketball ever displayed by a.
Carolina team.
The season in many respects
has been more successful than any
in the last three years. While the
prospects in November were
meager enough, the efficient work
of Coach Peacock, developed a rep
resentative team by mid-season.
Of the nine. games on schedule
Carolina won five, losing three on
the home courts of Washington
and Lee, V. M. I. and V. P. I.,
and only one on the local court,
and that at the beginning of the
season to Davidson by a close
score. Of the four teams defeat
ing Carolina, two met defeat by
her on the Chapel Hill court, V.
P. I. losing by eight points and
V. M. I. by nine.
In regard to weight, Carolina
had a lighter team than any col
lege or university in the south.
