C, Tuesday, January 25, 1921. No. 31 E Team Show Better Team Work Than in Game With South Carolina Last Week. LITTLE FEATURE PLAYING Shooting more accurately, play-! ing more aggressively, and showing generally better team work, than i that which characterized their initial j encounter with South Carolina, the Carolina basketball quint defeated the Elon college team by the score of 37 to 12, here Wednesday night. An unusual number of fouls and a great deal of roughness marred the exhibition, and prevented any large amount of feature playing by either team. The Carolina quint started off poorly, and were decidedly erratic in passing and following the ball in the early part of the game. But as the contest progressed the team be gan to get together and when the first half closed was going strong. The Blue and White team showed better form and handled the ball with more ease but for down right accuracy in following of the ball the Elon team was near an equal in the first few minutes of the game. Liipfert and Hanby made two goals each in the first half, both excellent shots. The score was sixteen to five in favor of Carolina when the two teams retired for intermission. Carmichael, McDonald, and Shep herd led the attack in the second half and began executing a series of plays that caused the score to run up quickly. Hanby guarded in su perb manner and with Liipfert aided in matchless team work to the scor ing trio of this period. Shepherd, at guard, vied with the forwards in shooting, and got away with three field goals. Manager Joe Person entertained the spectators between halves, by assuming a Napoleonic pose in the center of the court, and giving un paralleled exhibition of chewing gum and oratory. His announce ment was to the effect that the Car olina quint had secured a game with Yale which fills in the vacant place caused by the cancellation of the Catholic University game. The next game scheduled for Car olina is with Trinity on January 26, in Durham, and the team leaves the following Monday on the northern trip.

BOST PREACHES FOR State's Best Known Newspaper Man Spoke at the Methodist Church on Sunday Morning. W. T. Bost, the most widely known newspaper man in North Carolina, preached Sunday morning at 11 o'clock in the Chapel Hill Methodist Church. News of his coming here was received with great interest, be cause his news stories are the most vivid, fresh, vigorous, and peppy of any that appear in North Carolina papers, and one of the largest crowds of the year was out to hear him. Mr. Bost is an alumnus of this University, he having attended col lege here between the years 1905 and 1908. At present Mr. Bost is the Raleigh correspondent of the Greensboro Daily News, and it is con servative to say that no news articles appearing in any State paper are more widely read than are those he! sends out from Raleigh. Mr. Bost has at times worked on nearly every large paper in the State, and in each locality in which he has worked his fame has gone out as an aggressive newspaper man. "The Blockade Preacher" as Mr. Bost calls himself, preached with the same vigor and wealth of expression (Continued on Page Four) TAR HEEL CONTEST CONTINUES THREE ISSUES As a result of the contest that has been running for the past two weeks, two new men have been elected on the Board.

The main drag of Chapel Hill was the scene of a short but. thrilling one-round battle Friday night, be tween two students apparently of the heavyweight class. It seems that in the wild scramble to emerge from the fetid atmosphere of the "Pick" to the refreshing night air, and up per class man was rudely shoved. Resenting that his dignity should be so sullied, he reproved one of his "shovers," whom he was inclined to believe member of the freshman class, and addressed him in the way that oft'times upper classmen are wont to address freshmen. The sup posed freshman happened to be a sophomore and consequently did not relish the lowering appellation. Harsln words followed which soon precipitated the peeved students to the clash. As fistic encounters are rarely seen on the hill, the lucky ones in the near vicinity rushed from all di rections with whoops of eager an ticipation, and quickly formed a cir cle around the combattants, gener ously allowing them plenty of space. For several breathless seconds, the silent pugilists warily circled around each other, looking for an advant ageous opening. Then followed a bewildering series of wild swings which if landed on the spots they were directed at, would have either knocked the one through Gooch's plate glass window, or the other over Eubanks' drug store. At this stage of the fight, both gave a pretty exhibition of footwork which might have made Carpentier envious were he present, but their sense of direc tion was very sad indeed. One of the battlers perceiving a lowering in his opponent's guard, launched a terrific right-hand swing which he (Continued on Page Four) NORTH CAROLINA CLUB E Many Important Problems of Mu nicipal Life of State to Be Discussed at Meeting.

ONE DANCE EACH MONTH Pronounced success marked the first of the dances to be given at Carolina by the Order of the Grail. There were lots more girls than any body dreamed could be raked up around the vicinity of Chapel Hill. And that celebrated Tar Baby Five musical organization delivered the necessary goods to make the occa sion of the real dance variety. It is believed that this first dance kept a lot of boys from leaving the hill on that customary morale breaking week-end trip. i There were plenty of boys there, most too many, perhaps, but in spite of the large male proportion of those dancing, the mixing in of a few no break dances made it so that the event was enjoyed thoroughly. Prac tically all the Co-eds were there and they certainly had a big old time. There are more girls around this old burg than any one supposes anyway, and it seemed that they all turned out for the proverbial light fantastic Saturday night. j Gate receipts were pleasing enough. There were plenty boys there to contribute enough half dol lars and two bits pieces to pay for the orchestra, attendants, and other incidentals that go to make up these Saturday night Grail dances. And that is all that the promoters of the dances are looking for, simply ex penses. It has not been fully decided whether these dances will be given just once a month or oftener. Sat urday night's experiment proved a. great success, but there still is doubt whether it would be wise to have them very often. The date of the next dance will be announced later. is IN SEARCH OF TOOL Midnight Spirit Vanishes Into Un known With Campus Cop's Pistol. What seems to be the sensation of the day in police circles here was the stealing of the pistol from the nigth policeman, "Jug" Whitaker, on Thursday night while he rested him self from his toils and the weather in the Y. M. C. A. building. From the meagre information obtainable it seems that Policeman Whitaker came in the "Y" during the small hours of the morning to rest his weary frame, and to handle his daily correspondence. As his pistol, being rather heavy in his pocket, was the source of discomfort as "Jug" sat at the table at work, he removed it from his pocket, and laid it outside beside him. Later on the gentle spirit called patrolman Whitaker to his tour of the campus to see if robbers were again raiding the University dormi tories, and when he returned to the "Y" some time later in search of his pistol, it had disappeared. He seems to be at a loss to know what became of the sole instrument of his occupation, and early Friday morning he had Secretary Phillips of the "Y" conducting a search of his lost firearm. REV. CHARLES MADDRY PREACHES TO BAPTISTS Newly Elected Secretary of Baptist Convention Formerly Promi nent in Student Life Here. The Rev. Charles E. Maddry, the newly elected secretary of the Bap tist State Convention, returned to his native county of Orange, last Sunday and preached two stirring sermons in the Chapel Hill Baptist church. Dr. Maddry was born with in a few miles of Chapel Hill, and received his education in the public schools of Orange county and in the University of North Carolina. He was ordained here in Chapel Hill. While a student in the University he was vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. and the winner of the Mangum med al, as well as being interested in other college activities.

The second of the series of musical recitals which the Department of Music of the University is giving for the current school year was a piano and vocal recital by Irvin Wallace Oestreicher, and Professor Thomas Hoffman Hamilton, baritone, in Ger rard Hall last Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock. Attended by a good crowd of in terested hearers, the program took exceptionally well with the audience. Applause was repeated after several of the numbers which appealed especially to those present. The series of recitals this year is decided ly better than that of last year, and the popularity of these Sunday after noon programs is rapidly growing among the students, faculty, and townspeople.

CAROLINA WINS DEBATE FROM PENNSYLVANIA BY UNANIMOUS VOTE BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE MEMBERS ELECTED TAR HEEL BOARD William E. Horner Promoted to As sistant Editor; Kerr and Atkin son Become Associate Editors. To fill the vacancy made by the resignation of W. E. Matthews, William E. Horner has been promot ed from Associate Editor to that of Assistant Editor, and J. Y. Kerr and W. H. Atkinson have been elected in the recent contest to be associate editors. The contest continues and two men are yet to be elected as associate editors, and a co-ed will be elected to the board as society editor, if such addition meets the approval of the Athletic Council. Several others were in the contest, but it was decided at a meeting Sat urday that only two of these had suf ficiently qualified to be placed on the board. It is for this reason that the contest will be continued for the fol lowing three issues. It is hoped that the remaining vacancies may be filled at that time. Horner, who has been elected as Assistant Editor is a member of the Class of '22. He is very active in publication work, and is one of the leading members of his class in the Phi Society, having represented it on the Phi team that won the Mary D. Wright debate during the fall quar ter. He has also made many contri butions to the Carolina Magazine. Kerr who has been elected as asso ciate editor i a member of the Class of '23 and has been on the business staff of the TAR HEEL during this year. He is also a member of Kappa Alpha and of the Phi Assembly. Atkinson who has also been elect ed as associate editor is from Wash ington, D. C, and entered the Uni versity from V. M. I. LURE OF CHAPEL HILL DISCOVERED AT LAST Lies in Varied Forms of Architecture Here That Appeal to the Aesthetic Nature. After an exhaustive scientific and pshychoanalytical research, it has been determined wherein lies the lure, which attracts men from all over the world to Chapel Hill. It is in the varied forms of architecture exhibited here, which appeal to their aesthetic nature, and by walking around town they can get all the inspiration derived from an Euro pean voyage. France, Greece, Spain, Russia, and a Sears-Roebuck cata logue are repiesented in this mecca of aesthetics. Approaching the city from the east we come to an edifice built in the most approved fifteenth century chateau style. Even to the grounds surrounding it, which resemble a "House Beautiful" cover. This is the Post Office. At mail time it looks as if the third estate of ' the sur rounding country had risen against their lords, but the absence of "La Guillotine" soon relieves that fear. At night, with the lights on, it re sembles a Child's restaurant. Next stop of the Continental tour is Greece, ably represented by the Bank of Chapel Hill. No matter how cold the day, it reminds us of sunny Greece; especially when Gooch's door is opened and the pungent greasian aroma is wafted across the street. The bank build ing is supposed to be a vest pocket edition of the Parthenon, so, . the (Continued on Page Four) WHAT'S TO HAPPEN AND WHEN.

CAROLINA HAS WON SIX Boyd, Beers, and Taylor Defeat Hanlon, Robinovitx and Hettinger. (By J. G. GULLICK) By a unanimous vote, Carolina won the Pennsylvania debate Satur day night, winning her sixth consec utive victory over the Pennsylvania institution. Carolina was represent ed by C. T. Boyd, C. D. Beers, and T. C. Taylor, opposing F. R. Hanlon, M. J. Robinovitz, and H. S. Hettinger of Pennsylvania. The debate was heard by a crowd that exceeded anything seen in the history of debating here, and which taxed the capacity of Gerrard Hall. The query discussed was: "Re solved, That a federal law should be passed rigidly excluding immi grants for a period of two years." Dr. L. R. Wilson, Dr. II. M. Wag staff and Prof. Frank P. Graham act ed as judges. Prof. George M. McKie presided and William II. Bobbitt acted as secretary. A. L. Purrington led some rousing cheers which put spirit into the assemblage just before the debate. C. T. Boyd, as first speaker on the affirmative, began the debate. He declared that it was a measure de signed for the benefit of both the immigrant and this nation. Calling attention to the readjustment in in dustry, causing deflation and unem ployment, he contended that it would not be to the interest of the immi grant to admit him into a land where he could not find employment. He claimed that there is a large tide of immigration toward this country, there being thousands waiting in Europe to sail. He said that there are hosts of people in Poland, Italy, and Central Europe preparing to come to this country. He argued ' that the illiteracy test and other re strictions are unable to meet the sit uation, and that further legislation is needed to the temporary condi tions that are prevalent now. F. R. Hanlon presented the first argument for the negative. Enum erating the physical examination, illiteracy test and other tests, he con tended that further legislation is not necessary. He declared that the present restrictions are sufficient to exclude beggars, vagrants, paupers, and other undesirables, and that it was not a question of whether we (Continued on Page Four) DR. NOBLE SPEAKS TO STUDENTS IN CHAPEL Speaks on "No Man Liveth to Him self and No Man Dieth to Himself." Prof. M. C. S. Noble, who is al ways heard with pleasure by the students, gave a very interesting and highly practical talk in the chapel Friday morning, January 21. The theme of his talk was "No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to him self." Prof. Noble said that there is such a thing as a person being in a town, a county, or a state and not being a part of that town, county, or that state. To bring it to the university community, he said that there are men at the University of North Car olina who are not a part of the Uni versity. As an illustration he de scribed a boy who is a very bright student and makes the highest marks in his class, and yet is not a part of his class. He goes out for a game of tennis and after the game he goes back to his room. Another example he gave was of a man in a community who was asked about the things of which the town was the proudest. He replied that "they" were probably proudest of the public schools, the electric lights and sewer system. When asked if he had supported these movements for improvement he gave some petty reasons or excuses why he had voted against them. "Such a man," said Prof. Noble, "is ready to be buried and without a mourner or a flower to go to his grave."
