BASKETBALL SQUAD
HAS HARD SCHEDULE
LONG NORTHERN TRIP
EIGHT GAMES TO BE PLAYED
HERE, FOURTEEN AWAY
FROM HOME
TO MEET DURHAM Y TONIGHT
The Basketball schedule, although
not yet completed, will have about
twenty games this season. The first
game will be played with Durham Y
in Durham tonight followed by a
game with Raleigh Y on the "Hill"
Wednesday night. There will be
another game on the "Hill" with the
Durham Y December 13.
The collegiate schedule starts after
Christmas. The first game will more
' than likely be with the University
of South Carolina on January 14, fol
lowed by games with Elon, Trinity
and Wake Forest. The team starts it's
trip on the first of February, playing
the University of Virginia for the
opening game. This trip includes
games wth some of the best teams in
this section of the country. Washing
ton and Lee, and V. M. I. are always
hard to beat. Georgetown will be
played in Washington with a game
with the Army on the following night
in West Point. Captain Boye is an
old Army player and Captained that
quint, therefore he is especially anx
ious to beat them but it is always hard
to beat the Army. Last year Rutgers
was runner up in the Basketball
World's Series that was played in At
lanta, playing N. Y. U. for the World's
Championship. The Navy will be
played again this year. The trip will
end in Lynchburg where the Elk's
Athletic Club will more than likely be
taken on.
There will be games on the "Hill"
the latter part of February. These
will be with state teams, Davidson,
State and Trinity.
The University of Virginia will be
met in Raleigh on February 26 as
will N. C. S. on March 2.

FACULTY STILL AT WORK TO
PREVENT GRATS OF STUDES
TYRE TAYLOR AND "SCRUBBY'
RIVES REPRESENT STUDENTS
ON COMMITTEE
The faculty in its last meeting ap
pointed a committee to consider the
question of holidays for the next col
legiate year. The committee appoint
ed is composed of the Executive com
mittee, the Registrar and the Chair
man of the Faculty Committee on Ath
letics. The Executive committee is
composed of Dr. Wagstaff, Prof.
Raggett and Prof. Graham, with
Mr, Bradshaw, Dean of Students,
acting as ex-officio chairman. This
committee held a preliminary meet
ing" last week and considered
several tentative proposals, among
which the most outstanding was
that all one day holidays be abolish
ed because of the inability of the
students to get off the Hill and
back in time and that in their place a
holiday of at least three days in each
term be substituted. Attention was
called to the fact that since the A. &
E. game will be played in Raleigh next
year and the Virginia game on the
Hill, and since each game will alter
late after next year, only one major
game will be played off the Hill each
year hereafter.
The committee considered at a pre
liminary discussion the subject of class
attendance, the chief result of which
was a definition of class attendance as
a problem in scholarship and not in
discipline. The committee will hold a
second meeting this week at which
representatives of the student body
will be invited to sit with the com

WRIGHT DEBATE WON
BY PHI SOCIETY MEN
MOORE TAKES MEDAL
BONDURANT AND KISER REPRE
SENT DIALECTIC SOCIETY
IN MEMORIAL DEBATE
HORNER MEMBER OF PHI TEAM
By a unanimous vote the Philan
thropic Society won the Mary D.
Wright Memorial debate, and C. L.
Moore Iwas awarded the Mary D.
Wright Medal as the best speaker on
the winning side.
The query of the debate was as fol
lows: "Resolved, that the policy of the
United States in requiring its ships
to pay Panama Canal tolls should be
maintained." The affirmative was rep
resented by S. C. Bondurant and H.
L. Kiser, of the Dialectic Society,
while the negative was upheld by the
Philanthropic Society's team com
posed of C. F. Moore and W. E.
Horner. The judges were Professors
J. H. Hanford, D. D. Carrol, and C.
A. Hibbard.
The affirmative presented two main
arguments for maintaining our present
policy, the first a legal and moral ar
gument and the second an economic
one. Mr. Bondurant contended that
to grant our ships exemption from
tolls would be a violation of the
treaties under which we came into
possession of the Canal Zone. Mr.
Kiser claimed that it would be an un
wise economic policy, as the exemp
tion of tolls to our ships would mean
that the American people at large
would pay the great cost of the main
tenance of the Canal which is used
only by the shippers. He asserted that
it would be unjust legislation in favor
of a group at the expense of the people
at large.
The negative approached the ques
tion from an unexpected angle. In
stead of merely making it an issue
of whether or not our own ships
should pay tolls, they prepared a plan
whereby the ships of all nations should
be granted free passage while the
cost of the upkeep of the Canal
should be borne entirely by the United
States Government. Mr. Moore claim
ed that the toll system is a fast dis-!
appearing relic of the feudal ages and
is giving way to more modern and
progressive means. Mr. Horner gave
his reason far stating that it would be
both a wise move and economic policy.

ANNUAL DANCES DELIGHTFUL
BEST GIVEN IN MANY YEARS
GHIMGHOULS, GORGON'S HEAD,
AND GERMAN CLUB STAGE
DAZZLING EVENTS
The dances have come and gone. So
have the bewitching gir-ruls. Nothing
save cherished memories, not even to
a hang-over. Just as we sadly pre
dicted that night to one of the god
desses of terpischore, from the celes
tial we have descended to the terres
tial. But it can be safely said that
Carolina can again take up her posi
tion and claim her reputation of hav
ing dances that are unexcelled by any
bouthern University. The 100 girls,
from all parts of North Carolina, and
from South Carolina and Virginia, up
on whom we might observe in passing,
one could squander scores of adjec
tives dear to the heart of Broadway
press agents, together with their
chaperones and many alumni agree
that the annual fall dances of last
Thursday and Friday were among the
best and most delightful given in
Chapel Hill in the last decade.
Perhaps their singular success over
similar affairs of the past few years
was due to the ruling of the German
Club that no invitations be issued to
outsiders and other steps, which seem
ed a bit drastic, but were necessary
owing to the over-crowded conditions.
The two big night germans were
given by the Junior Order of the Gor
gon's Head and by the German Club.

Ruffin, of Winston-Salem, led the

The students of the North Carolina
College for Women at Greensboro
held an enthusiastic mass meeting last
Friday evening at which the present
crowded conditions in the college of
the state were stressed, and a com
mittee was appointed to help bring
conditions before the people. Miss
Gladys Wells, of Clinton, was elected
as the representative of that college
to confer with students representing
other state institutions, and to co
operae with committees from other
colleges in an extensive campaign to
show the imperative needs of state inr
stitutions of learning.

REGISTRAR REPORT
ALL EXCEPT FIVE COUNTIES ARE
REPRESENTED HERE THIS
YEAR
FARMERS' SONS ARE LEADING
The Registrar, presenting his annual
report, taking up the period from Nov.
30, 1919 to Nov. 30, 1920, reveals some
interesting things.
Considering the student body as a
whole he finds that 92.9 per cent are
from our own State and 7.1 per cent
from other states and foreign coun
tries. There was a slight drop in the
number of students from N. C. as
compared with those of the preceding
year. There are 37 from S. C, 18
from Va., 7 from Ga., 4 each from
Ala. and Tenn., 3 each from Fla.,
Mass., N. J., and Pa., 2 each from
Conn., D. C, 111., and Ky., and 1 each
from the Canal Zone, Cuba, Idaho,
Ind., Japan, Md., Miss., N. Y., Ohio,
and Texas.
Only five counties of N. C. are not
this year represented in our student
body. These are Caswell, Clay, Gra
ham, Mitchell, and Yancey, four of
them up in the mountains and one
along the Virginia line. Last year
there were 8 counties not representd
Mecklenburg leads all counties by
sending 77 students to the University.
Guilford follows with 69, Buncombe
with 58, Orange with 48, Wake
with 46, Wayne with 45, Forsyth with
37, Rowan with 36, New Hanover and
Iredell with 31, and Alamance with
28. Others with more than 20 are
Cabarrus, Catawba, Edgecombe, Gas
ton, Lenoir, Pitt and Wilson.
The Methodists lead the religious
organizations with 478 students in the
University. The Baptists follow with
356 students, Presbyterians with 235,
Episcopal with 159, Christian with
39, Lutheran 33, Jewish 17, Roman
Catholic 16, Moravian 10, Reformed 8,
Universalist 7, Friends 5, Christian
Science 3, Disciple 2, Congregational
1, Reformed Jewish 1, and Unita
rian 1.
Classifying the students according
to the business or professions of their
fathers he finds that the farmer's boys
lead the student body with a total
of 375, merchants following with 119
and manufacturers third with 98. The
business or professions of the fathers
of the other students are given as fol
lows: Lawyers 71, Doctors 69, Public
officials 69, Railroad men 51, Ministers

CHAPEL HILL TAKES
ALL STATE HONORS
FROM MONROE HIGHS
MONROE HOLDS CHAPEL HILL
SCORELESS FOR FIRST THREE
QUARTERS
GAME HARD FOUGHT THRUOUT
Chapel Hill won the state football
championship Saturday, but it took
the fight of her life to do it. For
three quarters the game resulted in
a deadlock. Both sides were able to
register good gains, and both team's
goals were threatened, but the elevens
were too evenly matched for either
to score. It was a clean and well play
ed contest, and it was the opinion of
many who witnessed the game that it
was one of the best ever staged on
Emerson Field.
Chapel Hill entered the contest con
siderably the favorite, but before the
timekeeper's whistle had ended the
first quarter it was clearly seen that
in the lads from Monroe she had a
worthy opponent, and that the out
come of the contest was by no means
certain. In fact, to glance at the sum
mary of the first three periods it would
appear that Monroe had a marked
advantage over the local aggrega
tion; they making 13 first downs to
Chapel Hill's five, and completing two
forward passes out of four attempts
as against Chapel Hill who failed in
her sole attempt. It was not how
ever the summary of play that won
the game, and the long run by Spar
row just at end of the third quarter
that paved the way for a Chapel Hill
victory.
The first half ended with ball in
the center of the field, after it had
see-sawed back and forth with neither
team able to gain and advantage.
The second half opened in much the
same fashion, and bade fair to end
likewise in a 0 to 0 tie, until the end
of the third quarter when Monroe's
center got off a bad pass, the ball
going over the kicker's head and was
not recovered until it had rolled to
45 yard mark. There it went to
Chapel Hill on downs. In the next
play Sparrow got away for 25 yards,
placing the ball on Monroe's 20. Merr
ritt broke through for 16, and two
more attempts through the line car
ried it over, Merritt kicked goal.
The next touchdown came as a re

DR. CHASE SAYS CAROLINA
SPIRIT IS STRONG AS EVER
READS ARTICLE COMPLIMENTARY
TO CAROLINA STUDENTS
IN VIRGINIA PAPER
Dr. Chase spoke on the morale of
the student body Friday morning in
Chapel. He began by reading an edi
torial from the news paper of the
University of Virginia. It related the
splendid conduct of the Carolina stu
dents on Thanksgiving Day at Char
lottesville, and of their high standard
expressed in the words "Carolina
never cheers penalties."
Dr. Chase contradicted the statement
that the spirit of the Carolina student
body on the athletic field was not the
expression of the spirit on the campus.
It is only a concrete exDression of that
spirit. He used as a metaphor to il
lustrate his point "Green branches do
not grow out of a dying tree."
When a stoud of neonle pet oelf-
. t i o
critical, in the majority of cases it
underestimates its own virtues. "Have
you as much faith in your own spirit
as the University of Virginia has in
you ? Have you as much confidence in
your-self as your rivals have in you?"
If Carolina students have confidence
in themselves they can lift North Caro
lina and this University above any
thing it has ever been before. Every
one should make opportunities of his
difficulties; he needs only courage in
the heart. "Carolina is what you
make her. Do you love her? Have
you the loyalty to her that Virginia
says you have? Then cherish her,
cleave to her, and love her while life
endures."
