The Tab Heel, 1917. This paragraph summarizing the last game of the 1916-'17 season seems to picture exactly the clos ing game of 1917-'18 season. Al though the team has demonstrated many times the ability to come back strong in the" second half and win, it has not been able to get the jump in the first minute of play during the last two seasons ex cept in the final game of each. In many respects the record of last year's team is similar to that made by the team this year. Summary of season : Durham Y. M. C. A., 13 ; 1ST. C, 66. ' ! Durham Y. M. C. A., 24 ; N". C, 44.

Last year the team won 5 out of '9 games. ' Carolina scored 462 points to their opponents' 287. ; Last year Carolina scored 313 points to her opponents' 281. ." ' The Tar Heel forwards caged 129 goals to the 75 of all opposing forwards. Opposing centers scored 43 goals to the Carolina center's 39. Carolina guards found the ring for 43 1 goals while the guards of opposite teams' netted ' i3. Lynch (11. F.), led the team in scoring with 64 field and 29 foul goals, making 157, points. Carmi chael (L. F.), caged 54 field goals, making 108 points. Liipfert (C), threw 39 field and 2 foul goals, making' 80 points. Tennent (R. G.), secured 32 field goals, netting 64 points. Eleven field goals, mak ing 22 points, were credited to Cuthbertson (L. G. ) , Gwyn (F.), substitute-forward, made 4 points, and Perry F.), forward at the beginning of the season, se cured 9 goals, 18 points. Nine points were made by the scrub team in the last few minutes of the Emo ry and Henry game. Guards Splaying against Lynch secured 2 goals, and against Car- michael 11. Tennent' s rivals shot 44 goals or an average of 3.6 per game, while he secured 32 goals, leaving a difference of 12 goals credited to his forwards. Cuth bertson's forwards made .31 goals, or an average of 2.6 per game, while he secured 11 goals, leaving a difference of 20 goals credited to his forwards. But these details do not really sum up the season and the Tak Heel apologizes for publishing them. The team was not organ ized on the basis of individual achievement, but upon team work. The Carolina guards covered ter ritory in preference to men, and the forwards divided up the work, Lynch playing close to the goal and Carmichael running the floor, rath er than each forward trying to cage every goal. Tennent played1 a running guard, leaving Cuthbert son to cover the opponents' entire territory at times. j The Tab Heel wishes to com mend the coaching system intro duced in the University by How ard Peacock. It insures clean, fast playing and a winning team al ways. With such a system work ing here three years ago when Johnson, Long, Andrews, Tandy and Raby Tennent were playing Carolina would easily have won the Southern Championship, but the main characteristic of the team that year and in previous years, was in dividual starring. Coach Peacock will not be back next year and the University will feel the loss, but his system of playing should be fol lowed in every detail. We feel that the season has been a success, in spite of the Virginia defeat, and that the State cham pionship is ours, although we did lose the Southern. Lynch and Ten nent played their last game with the University quint Thursday and will not return next year, but Liip fert, Carmichael, Cuthbertson, Hodges and Morris will probably be back to carry on the passing game. The Tae Heel also wishes to credit the University with its part in the season's success. The enthu siastic support, of faculty, students and townspeople did much to push the team to victory. CLASS BASKETBALL SERIES v -.')"-.,. Realizing that the success of all 'varsity athletics in the long run depends upon the development of the material we already have here, and not so much upon the probable siars we may receive from high and "prep." schools, the Tak Heel wishes to offer a schedule for. this year's class basketball season. With the close of varsity bas ketball available coaches mav be obtained, for the various class teams from the varsity squad. These men working with the class candidates should be able to round out efficient class teams at once. The four academic classes shall be represented in this series, which, if the plan is received favorably, will begin March 5 and end on th.i 19th. Professional students wil be eligible for the senior team only. Members of the varsity five shall not be allowed to play on any team. The following schedule is sub mitted:, , Tuesday, March 5:' Fresh, vs. Sophs., 3:30 p. m. ; Juniors vs. Seniors, 4:30, p. m. ; Thursday, March 7 : Juniors vs. Sophs., 3:30 p. m. ; Seniors vs. Fresh., 4:30 p. m. Saturday, March 9 : Seniors vs Sophs., 3:30 p. m. ; Juniors ?j Fresh., 4 :30 p. m. Tuesday, March 12: Juniors vs. Seniors, 3:30 p. m. ; Fresh, vs. Sophs., 4:30 p. m. "Patterson !&ros "Prescription TDruists Thursday, March 14: Seniors vs. Fresh., 3 :30 p. m. ; Sophs, vs. Juniors, 4:30 p. m. Saturday, March 16: Juniors vs. Fresh., 3 :30 p. m. ; Seniors vs. Sophs., 4:30 p. m. Tuesday, March 19 : Champiim ship game if two teams are tied. A committee shall be appointed by the greater council, and this committee shall draw up all rules governing, the contracts and post them at Gerrard Hall and the class court at Old Commons. The development of the class player is essential to a representa tive 'varsity. Many of Carolina's best football stars came from the class field. The same is so in base ball and basketball. With this end in view the Tar Heel takes the liberty of present ing this scheme to the classes and the greater council. We feel that it should be given immediate atten tion. At the end of the season class numerals may be a warded to the players of the winning five, and an all-star elass team picked by a com mittee consisting of the coaches and Varsity Coach Peacock. NEWSPAPERS The other day a professor asked this question on class: "How many of you read the newspapers daily ?" Out of a class of thirty about six hands were raised. There were no Freshmen in the class. It was composed mainly of Juniors, and there were some Sophomores and Seniors. Upon. being asked point edly why he did not read the pa pers, one man replied that he didn't have time. This situation revealed a start ling fact: We are not keeping up with what is going on in the world at a time when history is being made faster than ever beforehand we are supposed to be some of the best informed youth in North Car olina. Every one of us should find out each day what the most important news of that day is. A short time should be set aside each day for reading the day's news. If we are asleep as to current happenings now, we are killing our opportunities. Let's wake up! HORSE SHOES Clank ! clank ! and then a squab ble over whose horse shoe is nearer the stake are ordinary sounds on the campus now. The sudden pop ularity of the lucky game is quite inexplainable. Some say that Sam Ravanel brought it back from Akron. Others hold that it tagged along to school with the freshmen classand somehow or other gives proof of a "back to the farm" movement at Chapel Hill. Wheth er Sam's story of the "yaps" who threw 26 ringers stirred the adven turous element here to attain his ringing record, or the fragant whiffs from the newly ploughed gardens nearby brought back the memories of by-gone days and, like the call of the wild, invited old comrades to lay aside the econo mies book and plunge into depths of Mrs. Archer's flower garden and penetrate the prairie grasses in the rear of the new dorms is a matter of pure conjecture. Arrow COLLAR At any rate it might be suggest ed that a varsity horse shoe team be organized and a schedule ar ranged with A. & E., Davidson and other colleges of North Carolina, also with the University of Vir ginia, and probably Princeton. German Measles Keep the Infirmary Busy Since the first of January there have been three cases of measles and 24 cases of German (Liberty) measles at the Infirmary. The 8 ct;ses of regular measles were de veloped soon after the close of the holidays and were probably con tracted at home. A strict and effi cient quarantine, coupled with a community spirit on the part of the patients, soon stamped this form of measles out. Then the German measles ap peared and kept the Infirmary in a rush for the last two months. The service in the Infirma y this winter has been heavier than for many years and yet the work has gone smoothly and without confusion. One remarkable feature is that not one kick or word of complaint has been registered by a patient this winter. And yet this is not inexplainable for the verdict of every student whose fortune it has been to be interned, as it were, for even a day, has been that the ser vice and attention rendered by the present nurse, Miss Choate, could rot possibly be better. There has teen no favoritism, but everyone has received careful attention and all are highly appreciative. Cinemalogues Are Enjoyed The Frederick Ray Cinema logues were presented to an enthu siastic audience in Gerrard Hall on Thursday and Wednesday even ings. For one hour and a half each evening the eye and the ear were charmed by music, story, picture end song all employed to illumi nate and popularize great classic themes, Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" and "Parsifal." Noth ing of a like nature has ever be fore been presented on the Hill. Frederick Ray is well equipped for this particular field of en deavor. With his fine presence and magnetic personality, he handled his subject and his audience with equal ability. The pictures, made in Italy, were far above the aver age feature productions. The pho tography, scenic effects, portrayal of characters, grouping, and the intelligent conception of the sub ject by all concerned, gave evi dence of skillful direction.

POSITIONS ON DIAMOND (Continued from Page 1) The first game is on March 23 with Oak Ridge, but Manager Ilolding hopes to secure one before then. The northern trip has been practically given up on account of the northern teams not playing this year ,but the team will probably take a long southern trip, playing Georgia Tech, University of Geor gia, and others. MINSTREL BOYS GETTING READY FOR BIG SEASON (Continued from Page 1) stunts ; a real jazz band ; an "Oca rina" musical quartette, and a new military after-piece entitled, "In the Service." The old men who are back this year inlude, Jordan, Burdick, and Burton, principal comedians, and Mclvee, Blount, Liipfert, and Poag, vocalists. With these men as a nucleus and the abundance of new material, a successful show is assured, and the first performance which is scheduled for some time the latter part of March, is being eagerly looked forward to. GOOD SPECHES HEARD BY 1919 BANQUETEERS (Continued from Page 1) Dr. Charlie Mangum gave an interesting talk which appealed to all present. W. II. Williamson made the re sponse to Dr. Mangum's speech. 1ST. C. Gooding, P. O. Jarvis, Miss Elizabeth Lay, T. P. Bunn, and Webb Durham, composed the committee which managed the banquet. " Dr. E. K.
