No.-40 TIE STATE QUENT SNOWED BY CAROLINA'S SPEEDY BASKETEERS West Raleigh Baketeer Completely Bewildered by Fast Floor Work of Carolina Five. TEAM AS A WHOLE STARS (By C. J. PARKER, Jr.) Lost, completely baffled, by the dazzling and deadly exact shooting and passing of the Carolina bas keteers, the State College quint met Saturday night with one of the most disastrous defeats in the history of her state basketball career. The score was 62 to 10, and is a fair indication of the vastly superior work of the Blue and White quint over that of the visitors. From the first minute of play there was never any doubt as to the out come. The ball had been in action less than half a minute when Captain Shepherd broke the ice with a pretty goal from the field, and from then on it became a task of no small pro portion for the score keepers to keep the correct count posted. At the end of three minutes of play the score stood 5 to 0 for Carolina, when Deal erased the State goose egg with spectacular goal from mid-floor. The closest State ever got to Coach Boye's machine was toward the mid die of the first half when the score for a moment stood at 13 to 6. The passing of the Carolina five was a source of complete mystifica tion to the West Raleigh quint," who often caught themselves in a state of suspended animation vainly en deavoring to locate the ball. Caro lina experienced no difficulty in work ing the ball under the goal, and her shots were made with deadly ac curacy. Several long shots were also registered, showing up the excellence of the team in a phase of the game not hitherto practiced. But two fouls were called on Car olina during the entire contest, while State suffered no less than 13 pen alties. Three of State's four field goals were the result of long floor shots, for she was, able but once to work the ball under the basket for a close goal. The score at the end of the first half stood 26 to 6. During the second half the Blue (Continued on Page Three) DAVIDSON DEFEATED IN LISTLESS GAME Carolina Quint Exhibits Excellent Form Davidson Does Good Guarding and Passing.

Davidson's close guarding and ae- rurnt.B Inner distance passing came nearer breaking up Carolina's far famed "five man. attack" than any other team that has been here this season. For the first ten minutes the hon ors of the game were very evenly di vided, but by a burst of speed Caro lina drew away to a 19 to 10 lead at the end of the first half. During the second half Captain Shepherd's quint speeded up and dis played some of the form shown on the northern trip, but as a whole the Blue and White were off on their shooting and not up -to their usual form in passing. Carmichael, Hanby and Shepherd played well for Carolina, while Rob erta and J. Schenck led the attack for Davidson- The line-up: Carolina (37) Davidson (20) Shepherd Schenck, J. L. F.

GULICK) The daily newspapers have noth ing on The Tar Heel in the way of late working hours and last minute rushes. The strenuous, nerve-racking toil, which is synonymous with newspaper work, is not limited to the workers on daily newspapers. For The Tar Heel is edited on a new basis this year. There is one place on the campus .where work is going in the small, early morning hours while the rest of the campus sleeps. There is a light burning in one place when all the lights in the dormitory rooms have disappeared. This place is the modest headquarters of The Tar Heel fat the northeastern corner of the Y. M. C. A. building. Here the managing editor with the editor-in-chief and several reporters each week "make-up" The Tar Heel. The reporters work all during the week and do not usually have so much work to do at one certain time. Most of them, while giving much time to the paper, are able to dis tribute their work, but it is the man aging editor who gives up four nights, four perfectly good nights out of seven, to go to the office and made up The Tar eel. On Friday and Monday the first materials for the Tuesday and Friday issues, re spectively, is turned in. This is ed ited and heads are written by the managing editor who also makes up the paper. "After the last material is turned in at a late hour on these i nights, it is all put into proper shape ' and mailed to the. printer. I But the biggest part of the work !

This Spring will see the most in-; teresting tennis season the Univer-, sity nas naa m recent years, man- j ager Gardner has already started men to work on the courts and they j will be in good condition by the time j the tennis season arrives. Several j tentative matches are under way. : xiic Letting luuauijr cm-wunuci- j ! ed this Spring are those of the Uni versity of Virginia, University of Maryland, V. M. I., Washington andj Lee and the teams of the different, State colleges. The University of! Michigan has requested a place on the tennis schedule but owing to the high guarantee asked by that insti tution Manager Gardner will hardly be able to accept their invitation for a match. The Michigan team desir ed matches with several Southern institutions in order to allow it to successfully undertake a trip South. Only one member of the varsity has been chosen to date. E. C. Jernigan won the captaincy of the team by winning out over all-comers in a competitive tournament held last Fall. The rest of the tourna ment which was delayed last Fall will be held some time in the near future and a double tournament will prob ably be gotten under way also. The other members of the varsity team will be probably from the following men who have shown up best in prac tice: Waverly Hester, Wood Wil liams, last year's captain ; Wade Gard ner, Tommy Hawkins, Jess Irvin, Hume Bordin, Frank Spruill and Tommy J. Wilson. Allan R. Ander son, formerly South Atlantic Cham pion, will probably coach the team. There has been a great deal of tennis activity among the members of the faculty this month. This activity promises to last during the entire Spring, many members of the faculty daily frequenting the faculty courts having expressed their en thusiasm in the sport. The faculty members who have become ardent racketers are: Messrs. Winston, Chambers, George, Hibbard, Lasley, Henderson, Walker, Daggett, Leavitt, Hanford, A. W. Hobbs, Bullitt, and Dargan. LECTURES DN PLATO ARE NOT ATTENDED BY LARGE AUDIENCES Paul Shorey, of University of Chi cago, Delivers Annual Lectures -Composing McNair Series. SUBJECT IS NOT FAMILIAR "Plato's Relation to the Religious Problem" was the general topic of the series of the McNair lectures which were delivered Friday, Satur day and Sunday nights by Dr. Paul Shorey, of the University of Chicago. Dr. Shorey is the head of the depart ment of Greek at the University of Chicago, and is one of the foremost scholars in his field, as well as an author and speaker. The lectures this year failed to draw crowds. Although the speaker is a distinguished scholar, his lec tures were of a type that did not at tract large crowds. A large part of each lecture was composed of quo tations from Greek scholars with which the average student was net familiar, and the subjects were treat ed in such a way that they did ap peal to most of the students. The speaker took as his subject for the Friday lecture "Plato and the Irreligion of Pseudo-Science." In this lecture he presented Plato's at titude toward the essential religious I problems of his day. He gave con siderable time to Plato's satire on the pseudo-scientists and showed that Plato's skeptical attitude was fundamentally right for his day. He spoke of Plato's challenge to Ma terialism and also made the point that no progress has been made since Plato in explaining the fundamental fact of the mind. He gave numerous quotations from Plato and other scholars to illustrate his points, ; "Plato and Natural Theology" was the subject of Dr. Shorey's second lecture. "A parallel could be drawn between Platoism and Christianity," said Dr. Shorey. "Plato did not be" lieve that myths were of value, but he would rather have men believe in j ship of the present senior class ex myths than to think that the world ! pect to enter some college. Present is without an author. Some scient- indications noint to the fact that a ists would claim that' in the begin ning was hydrogen, but Plato would answer that in the beginning was the mind.". v The last of the series of the lec tures was on "Plato and Ethical Re ligion."

Mr. John P. Washburn, president of the class of '20, and now with The National City Bank of New York, was on the Hill this week-end. Mr. Washburn is on his way from Eng land to China, and by a request he consented to talk to the Freshmen for a few minutes in Chapel about some of his experiences abroad. "When I landed in Liverpool, Eng land, on August 6, 1920, it was raining and the docks were the dirtiest places that I have ever seen. The people, too, were ugly" Ac cording to Mr. Washburn, the mills of England have had to close down because they have been unable to secure raw supplies from the United States on long term credit. "The day before I left London," he said, "I saw a parade of 60,000 laborers who were unable to obtain work. According to the statistics that they compiled, there are 7 out of every 100 out of employment." Mr. Washburn then told of some of the differences between the cus toms in England and those in America. He told of meeting "Shorty" Spruil of the class of '20, who is now at Oxford College in England,' and who is trying to get accustomed to the customs over there. "They have a different mode of dress for almost every hour of the day, and every evening they blossom out in full dress or tuxedos. (Continued on Page Four) STATE JOIN FIGHT TO HELP COLLEGES GET MONEY High Schools Asked by Central Com' mittee to Send Petitions to State Officials. EACH CLASS IN THE FIGHT The Greater University Student Committee of which 'John H. Kerr is the chairman during the past few weeks took steps looking to the align ment of the high schools of the State with the colleges in the fight for larger appropriations for the State's higher institutions of learning. Re sults of these steps have not yet been ascertained but is certain that a great deal of good will be accomplished by the high schools. Taking the recent action of the Senior Class of the Henderson high school as a working model, the Cen tral Committee of the Colleges had printed in circular form a letter set ting forth the action of the Hender son school and telling in just what way similar action on the part of other schools would help the cause of higher education and sent a copy of it to every senior in every high school in the State. Students in the Henderson high school, on their own initiative sent the following petition to the legisla tors from Vance county: "The question of the educational fund for the colleges of North Caro lina is probably the paramount issue facing the Legislature now in session. In view of this may we not submit for your attention a few facts con cerning conditions existing in the Henderson high school? "The class which graduated from the school in June, 1920, was com- posed of fifteen members. The class which will graduate in June, 1921, has as its enrollment thirty two, or an increase of 100 per cent. "By a canvass taken at the begin ning of this school year it was found that practically the entire member- part of them will ' find it necessary (Continued on Page Four) IMPORTANT ISSUES To Take Definite Action on Sanitary Conditions and to Send Repre sentatives to Conference. . At a meeting of the Campus Cab inet last Tuesday evening four things of importance came up for discussion. On each of these definite plans were talked of, but in two of them no definite action was taken. The question as to whether the University should send men. to the Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy Convention of Undergraduate Government was discussed, and a vote showed that the Campus Cab inet was in favor of Carolina's send ing four delegates. Next, the sanitary conditions on the campus were discussed, and the result of this was the calling of a meeting last Tuesday of the Cabinet, Student Council, and dormitory man agers to make plans for better sani tation. A committee was appointed at this meeting to make further in vestigation and report at a meeting to be held later. For the third matter, the cabinet considered the advisability of having a conference of the state's colleges to meet at Chapel Hill and discuss undergraduate government. This conference would be much on the same line as the one to be held at M. I. T. Plans were not made at this meeting but will be taken up at the next meeting. A possibility of organizing an in-tra-State High School Association also came in for discussion. The purpose of this association would be to have delegates from all the high schools come to Chapel Hill each spring for a conference. The prac tice of the University now m hold ing high school debates and athletic contests would also be combined in the association. The association would be under the direction of Mr. Rankin, and the advantage would accrue of having all intra-school mat ters under one management. Defin ite action will be taken on this mat ter at a later date.

FIRST YEAR AS BI-WEEKLY Several Special Editions Have Ap peared, Two Printed in Blue Ink after Victories. (By L. D. SUMMEY) Tomorrow The Tar Heel will be twenty-eight years old. On this birthday the paper cannot help but look backward with pride and view the improvement that has been made over the initial four-page issue that made its appearance at ' Carolina 1893 twenty-eight ' years ago. The first Tar Heel was introduced as an answer to a crying need of a medium, apart from the literary Mag azine, for the publication of general news and for the expression of the opinion of the student on college topics. Before that time the Uni versity Magazine had served Caro lina as a newspaper and as a literary journal. In the fall of 1892 Carolina had met Virginia for the first time in a football contest. The White and Blue had emerged victorious and perhaps this fact gave some inspira tion for the establishment of The Tar Heel as the official organ of the Athletic Association, The first Tar Heel contained the following foreword: "The growing demands of the University have shown the need of a weekly paper. The University Athletic Association, regarding itself as the means by which such a need could be supplied, at a stated meeting elected a board of editors (chief and five subs), and a business manager." "With this apology only, the first issue of the first volume of The Tar Heel makes its appearance." "This new venture is necessarily entered upon by the present board with no little trepidation, nevertheless- with a determination to make a success which can only be done through the indulgence and assist ance of our faculty and fellow stu dents. Therefore we invite honest criticism and any aid in the advance ment of this new project will be thoroughly appreciated." The list of .men on this first edi torial staff recalls many well known names to us. The editor-in-chief was Charles Baskerville who is now head of the Chemistry Department of the City College of New York. The others of the editorial board were Walter Murphy, A. C. Ellis, W. P. Wooten, Perrin Busbee, J. C. Biggs, and A. H. McFadyen. The Tar Heel made its first ap pearance with 230 subscribers. That year there were 376 students at the (Continued on Page Three) WHAT'S TO HAPPEN AND WHEN S. O. Bondurant presides in chapel during the week.
