South Atlantic football team which
was published in the Richmond
News-Leader of January 17.
' "Nemo" Coleman, "Ed." Tenney
and "Bill" Grimes receive favorable
mention.
: Mr. Bernier, , who is director of
athletics at V. P. I. shows a noble
restraint in his selection which de
serves the warm commendation of
all the colleges in the South
Atlantic section. Charles has only
put two V. P. I. men on his all
star team. In view of the fact 'that
he had eleven positions to fill and
since he might have put a V. P. I.
player in each position, Mr. Bernier
exercised a temperance in his selec
tion that puts the Greek idea in the
shade. Homewood, State's left end
this past season and Kuyk, Virginia's
fullback find places on the team
also. , ' .
Mr. Bernier's comment . on Blount
follows:
Blount a Roving Center
For a pivot man, Blount, of the
University of North Carolina, played
the most consistent game, and was
by all odds the best passer of the
mediocre array of centers. On the
defense, he played a keen, alert
game. He had a tendency to play
the roving game a little too much,
perhaps, but, with Crisp and Dudack
flanking him, this fault might be
termed as an advantage.
THE JUNIOR CLASS HOLDS
"GOOD FELLOWSHIP" SMOKER
Meeting as a class foY the first
time since Christmas holidays, the
Juniors set a precedent in the life
of the University Friday night by
holding a "Good Fellowship" smoker.
The smoker, which was held in the
reading room of the Y. M. C. A.,
was planned primarily as an infor
mal get-together meeting of . the
members of the class. Never since
the fall of 1917 when the present
class entered as verdant Freshmen
has it enjoyed a smoker to the same
extent that the last one was en
joyed. It did not have the air of
formality that the previous ones
have had, and . the class spirit re
ceived a considerable boost thereby.
President John Kerr, acted as
toastmaster, and in a most appeal
ing talk to his classmates urged
them to lay aside any prejudices or
hindrances to a better class under
standing that they might have and
t get together as a unified, com
pelling force that through its group
spirit would set a standard of ex
cellence for the entire campus. His
theme was that there was an ever
increasing need for greater class co
operation, which will in turn, he
declared, lead to a greater Univer
sity spirit.- He frankly talked about
the fraternity question, which here
tofore has been a question that has
heen dodged by most speakers at
Carolina. In dealing with this sub
ject, President Kerr urged the fra
ternity men and the non-fraternity
jnen to get together, explaining to
them that it was the privilege and

PROFESSOR CLARK GIVES
INTERPRETATIVE READING
OF "GEORGE WASHINGTON"
PERCY MACKAYE'S FAMOUS
PLAY RENDERED WITH ,
MARKED ABILITY
Certain it is that Percy Mackaye
himself would have been delighted
with the rendition of his "George
Washington" on last Wednesday
night by Mr. S. H. Clark, Professor
of Public Speaking at the University
of Chicago. Professor Clark's read
ing was another of the University
Lecture Series which is being ar
ranged for by the University.
After a few brief and pointed
words of introduction by Prof. H. M.
Dargan of the English Faculty, the
speaker, in a brief preliminary talk,
made the point that while admittedly
"art. is international," nevertheless
we are just human enough to appre
ciate our own national art more than
foreign art. He then took up the
life of Washington, following it on
through his boyhood days at Mount
Vernon, his adventures in the mili
tary field, his glorious record in the
war and during the first days of our
republic, and his later life at the old
estate at Mount Vernon. The inter
pretative reading of the different
characters was exceptionally well
done all through, and was appreciated
by the small but interested audience
that heard him. Especially was the
part of the play which deals with
the entrance of France into the
Revolutionary War well handled,
having an unusual modern applica
tion in the late war.
Phi House Opposed to
Intervention in Mexico
House resolution entitled, "The
establishment on the part of the
United States of order in Mexico by
armed force," was defeated by a vote
of 46 to 25 by the General Assembly
of the Phi Society last Saturday
night. ' This resolution was introduced
by I. J. Stephenson of Harnett and
P. E. Greene of Edgecombe.
The supporters of the bill con
tended that the people of Mexico
were slaves of a greedy government
which was unable to maintain peace
in Mexico. They also pointed out
that Mexico was committing in
juries against the citizens of the
United States, and ithe ?only way
that further outrages could be pre
vented would be by armed interven
tion. The affirmative was willing to
release the country from the domina
tion of the United States as soon
as the people showed they were
able to govern themselves.
The opponents of the measure
declared that the damage Mexico
had done the United States was
greatly exaggerated. They claimed
that intervention would cost not
only a great amount of money, but
also the lives of many United States
soldiers. They counselled economic
aid as one of the greatest forces
for restoring peaceful conditions in
Mexico.
Another resolution which resulted
in warm debate was one that would
open the doors of the Phi Assembly
to the public after the regular rou
tine business. This is the second
time this resolution has been offered
and both times it has been voted
down.
Tonight house bill number four
entitled, "A bill to establish a law
in the state of North Carolina that
would compel all persons male or
female to pass a medical examina
tion before securing a marriage
license," will be discussed.
An English regiment on its way to
India stopped at Aden; but noting
how arid the place looked few went
ashore. An officer observed an Irish
sergeant of his company leaning over
the ship's side, gazing intently at
the town.
"Well, Pat, and what do you think
of Aden?" the officer inquired.
"Well sorr," was the unexpected
answer, "what Adam an' Ave iver
saw in such a place bates me."

Carolina Up-to-date Even
When it Comes to Wireless
Receiving "- the ' newj by wireless
every night before going to bed, is
one of the few modern conveniences
which are enjoyed by the dormitory
students. '
In one of the rooms of a certain
one of the temporary homes of the
seekers after "4's" and other num
erals, there is an up-to-date wire
less receiving instrument. To the
curious, it might be added that this
aforesaid building is not very far
from the old well. The operator
owner of the apparatus is a former
service man who saw duty as one
of Uncle Sam's radio operators.
Just before retiring every night,
the above mentioned student puts on
his receiver and gets in communica
tion with civilization. Soon he is
picking up news from Arlington,
ships off our coast, Key West, and
other stations. The maximum dis
tance from which messages are re
ceived is about 1,500 mjles.
Recently some very interesting
bits of news have been picked up.
The calls from vessels at sea have
been caught on a ,, few occasions.
Associated Press reports which came
out in the newspapers the following
day have been received before bed
time." .
FRESHMEN PUT OAK RIDGE

The Freshmen played rings around
Oak Ridge last Saturday night, and

From the first minute of play the
first year men had their opponents
outplayed and outclassed. The play
ing of the entire Freshman team was
fast and sure. In the second half, a
new five went in for Carolina and
this team was replaced by a third
outfit.
The line-up for the first half was
as follows:
Carolina Oak Ridge

A. F. WHYTE, NOTED
JOURNALIST, TO SPEAK
HERE ON PARIS CONFER.
WAS PRESENT AT SESSION OF
THE WORLD PEACE
CONFERENCE
The coming of one of the most
important and interesting lecturers
who will come to Carolina this year
has been announced by the Univer
sity Lecture Committee. Mr. A. F.
Whyte, distinguished British Jour
nalist, and editor of "The New
Europe" will speak here at an early
date on "What Happened at the
Peace Conference in Paris." Mr.
Whythe is peculiarly fitted to handle
this subject because of the fact that
he was present in Paris during the
memorable sessions of the Peace
Conference. The exact date of the
lecture will be announced later.
Sunday Afternoon Musical
Programs to Be Given Soon
Announcement is made of a series
of Sunday afternoon musical pro
grams to be given under the joint
auspices of the Community Club and
the University Department of Music.
The first of these programs will be
given on Sunday, February first;
those following will occur on the
first Sunday of each month during
the remainder of the school year.
The time and place and the exact
nature of the first program will be
announced next week. It is planned
to utilize a number of local musi
cians in these musical afternoons,
and to make the programs as varied
as possible. The recitals will be an
hour in length and will be entirely
free to the public, there being no
admission fee and no collections. It
is hoped that both the student body
and the towns-people will take ad
vantage of this opportunity of hear
ing the presentation of good and
attractive music. Watch for the
definite announcement next week
about the first of this series.
Fraternities Initiate
Twenty-Two Men
With a student body of 1,350 men,
450 of whom are Freshmen, and 50
of whom are co-eds there is a fra
ternity membership of approxi
mately 200 men. Thus out of 850
students who are eligible to join
fraternities, 200 or nearly 25 per
cent are members. This is the
largest percentage for a number of
years. Besides this fraternity men
are active in all phases of college
life: five of the eight members of
the student council are fraternity
men, four of the six active members
of Phi Beta Kappa, and five of the
seven taken into Golden Fleece last
spring. Thus it goes through all the
phases of college activity.
The fraternities increased the total
number in recent initiations by
twenty-three men as follows: Kappa
Alpha Hagood; Kappa Sigma
Eller; Phi Delta Theta Thompson,
Litch, and Crawford; Beta Theta
Pi Lineberger and Rankin; Pi

DAVIDSON, AND
CHARLOTTE
SHOWS UP-WELL FOR FIRST TRIP
Only After Hard Fight did Carolina
Lose to Her Oppo
nents The basketball team of the Uni
versity left last Thursday on its
first trip of the year. On Thursday
night they played the strong Guil
ford -team in the Y. M. C. A. at
Greensboro. The girls were waiting
for Captain Carmichael and his men
in front of the Y. M. C. A., and
gave them a joyous reception. The
team upon arrival went directly to
the floor, , where the Guilford team
was waiting in readiness.
The first half saw the score held
very low, and neither side had any
particular . advantage, both teams
playing an excellent game. The last
half saw the Carolina men to go the
front, as is her custom, and during
which time they outclassed the Guil
ford team in every respect, winning
easily, 51 to 23.
The features of the game were the
excellent goal shooting of Liipfert,
and the all-round passing of the
entire team. : !

Davidson Game
The team journeyed from Greens
bore to Davidson where they played
on Friday night. After winning bo
handily from the Guilford aggrega
tion, a very hard game was not
looked forward to. To the surprise
of all concerned our team went down
to defeat at the hands of the scrappy ,
Davidson five, 31 to 20.
In the first half all went nicely,
and Carolina, showed a slight advan
tage over the Davidson team, but
the second half saw an entirely dif
ferent game, Carolina lacked the
drive and endurance that has been
customary in the previous games
played. Davidson immediately took
advantage of this let-up on our part
and ran up a safe score, in a very
short time, as a result.
The game was featured by the un
canny goal shooting of Roberts, of
Davidson, and the foul shooting of
Carmichael for Carolina. ....

Famous Chow Emporium
Will Move at Early Date
Sim-Jim's justly celebrated chow
emporium will move this week into
the old post-office building, recogniz
ing that the principles of high
finance and abnormal growth demand
a greater floor space.
"We hope to gradually evolve into
the cafeteria class," said Mr. Howell,
the "Jim" part of the firm. "We
need the room, anyway."
