RUTGERS QUINT TAKES
IE FROM CAROLINA
IN LAST TEN MINUTES
Liipfert and Sheppert Play Brilliant
ly for Carolina Throughout
Fast Game.
TP A M WHR1M OUT RY TRIP

New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 7.
Carolina threatened time and
again here tonight, but the rangy
five representing Rutgers college
finally won the fastest game of the
season, 25 to 20.
For three quarters of the game
the losers worked the ball up and
down the court but in the final ten
minutes Rutgers seemed to take new
life and forged ahead. The exten
sive northern trip being made by the
Tar Heels has been telling on them
in the last three contests but a rest
over the week-end gave them new
life, but not enough to last the en
tire game.
The game of Shepard was one of
the best and held the slipper Enan
der scoreless during the initial
period. He kept Benzoni,' the for-
ward, covered also but the task wa5
too much and the black-haired lad
broke loose during the final ten min
utes and was responsible for his
team's victory to a large measure.
Liipfert, at center, got the jump

opening play he tapped the ball to

From that time on the Tar Heels

which has proved successful during
the entire trip.

LIIPFERT'S INJURY IS
FATAL IN YALE GAME
Star Sprains Ankle in Fall and Yale
Overcomes Lead and Wins '
32 to 30.
(Special to the Tar Heel).
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 8. A
nasty fall by Liipfert which caused
him to sprain his ankle in the last
two minutes of play took the heart
out of the Carolina basketball quint
here tonight, and enabled Yale to
overcome the three-point lead Caro
lina held, and win by the score of
32-30, a margin of one field goal.
Clever passing and good floor work
kept the Tar Heel team in the lead
through practically the whole con
test. At the end of the first half
the score stood 17 to 16 in favor of
Carolina. Early in the second half
the Carolina quint forged far in the
lead, scoring six points before Yale
counted. Eli at length found her

attack, caging four goals from the j noon. . Students would have somej0n Industrial Problems that were ar-j theory of the whole drive is that any

Carolina's score with two minutes
to play. At this point Liipfert, who
had played a slashing game through
out, securing the toss on Alderman
in every instance up to that time,
fell and sprained his ankle, putting
him out of the game, and taking the
heart out of Carolina. Yale an
nexed five points and won the con
test. Liipfert and Carmichael played
outstandingly for Carolina, the lat
ter making five goals from foul count
in as many tries. Alderman starred
for Yale.

NEW HEATER TO BE
To Provide Hot Water For Students
in Uymnaiium from Z to 6
Every Afternoon.
A new heater, five times as large as
the present heater, is being installed
I the ymnasium this week- This
new heater is expected to provide
I not water lor
the entire student
body from 2:00 until 6:00. The old
heater has been in use for about fif
teen years.
In the past the hot water has been
turned on at 4:30 in order to allow
the students who don't go out for
athletics and those who do to have
hot water. If the ho: water had

,d haye faeen fa &t
an hour and a half and somebody
would have been left in the cold;
namely, those students who had labs,
and those who were out for athletics.
This policy enabled all the students
to have an equal opportunity to avail
themselves of the hot water the old
heater was capable of furnishing.
The old heater had a tank capable
of holding 4,000 gallons of hot water.
For every gallon of hot water that
wenfc thrQugh the p.peg tQ shower
room there was necessary a pressure
of one gallon of cold water, and the
4,000 gallon pressure of cold water
that was necessary in forcing 4,000
gallons of hot water through the
pipes decreased the temperature of
trie hot water to a considerable ex-
tent 0ny Qne shower room wag
us d upc,nns. :e tho twr
shower
rooms had been used the hot water
would have flissinatpH in half tho
j time or in about 45 minutes.
The gym authorities have been
partial to no class of men, but have
instead been considerate of the entire
student body. In the installation of
a new heater they are trying to make
a gym built to accommodate 500
men really adequately meet the needs
of 1,400 students.
The authorities of the University
have allowed this matter to drag
along for several years and have
taken no action on the matter until
now. As a result of a story carried
in the Tar Heel some few weeks ago
in- which the conditions as they really
I exisjted were given in detail, those in
I charge of bathing facilities on the
campus have at last awakened to the
situation and have taken these steps
to remedy the conditions.

CHAPEL IN SIXTIES
Amusing Incidents of College Life
Here Told in Chapel by
Former President.
Describing the Chapel of 55 years
ago former President 'Winston of the
University of North Carolina enter
tained the Freshman class very high
ly if the amount of laughter that
they indulged in is any criterion in
Chapel Monday morning, February
7th.
Dr. Winston said that he could
well remember when he was a Fresh
man in the University and the old
appearance of the chapel. He said
that the Chapel then as now was
the center of the campus. Describ
ing the Chapel in those days he said
that the Freshmen sat on the right,
the Sophomores on the left and the
Juniors and Seniors in the center.
Freshmen were not allowed to enter
the Chapel through the front door,
there being five doors one on the
lower side, two in the rear, and two
in front. The Sophomores, in order
to protect the sanctity of the Chapel,
would always congregate in front of
the ChapeJ every morning to see
that the Freshmen did not try to
enter that way in a body.
Every student was required to at-
tend Chapel which was held at 7:00

PAUL SHORE? IS TD x
BE PAIR LECTURER
General Title of the Lectures is Pla
to's Relation to the Religious
Problem."
The MacNair lectures will be de-
' Hvered this vear bv Professor Paul
! Shorey of the University of Chicago.
Dr. fihorev is nrofessor of Latin in
his University, and is an authority
on Plato, about whom he has written
several books. The lectures begin
on Friday, February the eighteenth
and continue through the nineteenth
and twentieth. The general title of
the lectures is "Plato's Relation to
i the Religious Problem."
The subject of the first lecture is
Plato and the Irreligion of Pseudo-
Science"; the second, "Plato and Na
tural Theology;" and the third,
"Plato and Ethical Religion." Each
of these lectures is scheduled to be
gin at eight-thirty in Gerrard Hall.
The fund for these lectures was
established by the will of John Cal
vin MacNair of the class of 1849.
The lectures were begun in 1908,
and were delivered through 1917
and then discontinued and begun
again last year. Under the will of
the objects of the lectures, "shall
be to show the mutual bearing of
science and religion upon each other
and to prove the existence of attri
butes (as far as may be) of God from
nature."
The lectures have since their
establishment been the most import
ant ones delivered at the University
and each year have aroused interest
among the .University community and
the people of the State. Dr. Shorey's
coming is looked forward to by the
students and University officials.
PHI SOCIETY ALLOWS
TOBACCO 01 SUNDAYS
After Argument Defeats Bill Pro
hibiting Sale of Tobacco on Sun
days 13 New Members.
The house bill entitled, "An act
to m-ohibit the sale of tobacco and j
soft drinks, and the 'operation'of all
kinds of shows and games, to be
sold, opened, played, and operated
in the State of North Carolina on
the Sundays of the year," was de
feated by the Phi Assembly in regu
lar session last Saturday night.
Those who favored the bill argued
that the present disrespect for the
Sabbath is unnecessary and morally
wrong, and that a considerable num
ber of employees are deprived of a
day of rest, because so many stores
and theaters are allowed to stay open
on Sunday.
The opposing speakers believed
that it is impossible to make the State
religious by the means of legislation,
and that the proposed bill is imprac
ticable and discriminates against cer
tain localities. The measure was de
fended by Al Purrington, Gray,
Rhue, Shaw", and Spencer, while the
spokesmen of the opposition were
Victor Young, Downing, Ragsdale,
Winley, Jernigan, Harris, Dorsett,
and Scholl.
Six new members were initiated in
to Society. They were I. D. Thorp
of the Junior class, W. C. Bryan, P.
N. Gallagher, and.W. F. Gattis of
the Sophomore class, and J. P. Tim-
berlake and JV1. u. Conner ot the
Freshman class. These men bring j

Chapel Hill Food Prices Are Not
Excessive Considering Conditions
Tar Heel Survey Shows Food Prices Here to be Below Those in Raleigh
and Greensboro and About Equal to Those in Fayetteville, Durham,
and Charlotte. Lexington, Virginia College Town, Has Prices
Below Those in Chapel Hill.
By W. H. Atkinson.
Food prices in Chapel Hill are be-
low. those in Raleigh and Greensboro,
and about equal to those in Fayette
ville, Durham and Charlotte. Al
though claimed to be excessively
high here, this survey shows that
they are not more so than in other
North Carolina town3, considering
the poor transportation service and
the large demand.

This list includes six North Caro

size of Chapel Hill, to compare the
relative food prices in these towns.
Raleigh leads the list of high
prices with Durham, Greensboro and
Charlotte coming not far behind
The prices in the latter places are
several cents below those quoted for
Raleigh, and slightly in excess of
those in Chapel Hill. This shows
that Chapel Hill is not the highest
priced town in the State for food
stuffs. Lexington prices are quoted

Peddles His Own Photographs to
Boost Cause of New
Candidacy.
Turning, undiscouragecl. from his
defeat in the freshman elections, I
wViicVi rfpfpnt hp. attributes to the
under-hand machinations 01 cam-
postoffice. or at Swain Hall, that the
campaign is being conducted,
but !
father through the distribution,
wholesale and broadside, of the hand-
some likeness of the candidate. The
towns, and determine how Chapel
Hill compares with it.
Bread and milk do not vary any
in these towns, and canned goods
considering their different sizes and
quality, are very regular in their
price. The most popular brand of
coffee, except in Raleigh, sells for
25c, and for 35c there. Lard only
ranges 2c in price, and sugar l-2c.
Practically every store receives these
goods from large wholesale dealers,
whose prices are about the same,
owing to their competition.
Potatoes show the greatest varia
tion in price, from 65c a peck in
Raleigh, to 25c a peck in Lexington.
The bulk of the potato crop usually
comes from the country surrounding'
a town, in some sections a larger
crop is raised than in others and this
accounts for the range in price. The
same is largely true of meats be
cause cattle and hogs raised in this
State are not shipped out in any
quantity. Eggs are always higher
in the citie3 than in smaller com
munities, and in all the places in
cluded in this survey, storage eggs
average about 10c a dozen higher.
The same is true of country and
creamery butter in these towns.
Flour is much cheaper in Lexington
than in North Carolina ,due to its
situation in an extensive wheat grow
ing section.
Allowing a difference in the
size of canned goods, potatoes are
ths only thing much cheaper in Dur
ham than in Chapel Hill. Butter and
eggs are slightly below the price
quoted in Durham; sugar is lc more
and lard and flour lc less. Meats,
bread and milk are the same. Bet
ter meat may be obtained in Dur
ham, due to the larger market, and
the poor facilities for transporta
tion to Chapel Hill.
Lexington, Virginia, a college
town about the same size, is cheaper
in practically everything, than Chap
el Hill. The demand there is about
the same, but situated in the rich
Shenandoah Valley district, it is a
quick and accessible market for the
farmers. Transportation facilities
to Lexington are far superior to
those here, and the good roads make
it easy to reach from the neighbor
ing country. These are factors
which Chapel Hill has to contend
with, and considering the prices here,
they cannot be called unreasonable.
Restaurant prices in these towns,
while not varying much are in ac
cordance with the price of food
stuffs. Raleigh leads in high prices
again, with Durham, Greensboro,
and Charlotte about on a par. In
Chapel Hill and Lexington, restau
rant prices are almost identical.

THE TAR HEEL El
TOILETS ON CAMPUS
NSULT TO STUDENTS
Toilets Are Neglected and Left
Filthy' by Janitors in Various
Dormitories and Buildings.
SOUTH IS LEAST FILTHY
(By Special Reporter)
From the looks of the toilets in
the various buildings on the campus,
it would seem that all the janitors are
on a vacation. Lest ye forget, how
ever, please remember that although
the neglected look of the toilets
would lead one to believe in the
truth of the said vacation right at
present, it is equally true that they
have looked the same way all the
year. Not only this year have they
been absolutely neglected, but for
several years at least. One is almost
tempted to send a letter to the man
ager of the campus and ask when
he will be able to get a good force
of janitors at work on the campus.
The writer visited the toilets in
the dormitories and in Alumni and
Law buildings, and in each it was
the same old story water and paper
all over the floors, and with the pos
sible exception of 'South Building,
they looked as if a broom was abso
lutely unknown to them, and as for
water and a scouring mop well you
would have to back up and introduce
them: "Water, meet my old friend,
the floor."
It seems that every morning, pro
vided the janitor is feeling well and
happened to get up on the correct
3ide of the bed, each room on the
campus and the toilets are swept.
However, untrue it may seem, it is
the truth They are swept 1 But
after they are given this early morn
ing cleaning, they are forgotten and
matters are left to take their course
until a new day rolls around. The
reporter stands open for correction
but to the best of his personal know
ledge only one of them has been
scoured this year. One Sunday
morning, a janitor was caught with
a shame faced expression applying
water and a broom to the cement
floor of the toilet in the Law Build
ing. Th honor roll which is composed
of the janitors who keep the toilets
of their buildings in anything like
respectable condition has only on
name. The janitor in the South
Building keeps his in the best condi
tion of any on the campus. He
sweeps out every few hours, and no
matter when you go there, the floors
are cleaner than any anywhere else
on the campus. It might be a good
idea for the other janitors to take
lessons under this man, or rather
get it into their heads that they will
have to do a little more work. Now,
I know that to tell a janitor to do
anything which calls for the expendi
ture of effort is like telling the King
of England to get on his knees and
swap a ship's deck, but really some
thing must be done.
In Law and Alumni Buildings, and
in the Inn, Smith, and Vance dormi
tories, water stands on the floor
pretty near all the time, and it is
by no means an unusual occurrence
to see the same conditions in the
other toilets. Those in Carr, Battle
and Pettigrew, Old West, Old East,
and New East have paper strewn
over the floor at all hours of the day
and night.
If there were no Janitors on the
camtms. tWp ho mnvo nf n'
