CHAPEL HILL CAPTURES
CHAMPIONSHIP OF STATE
T
Score Tied Several Timet but Chapel
Hill Forgei Ahead in the
Last Half
BY MARGIN OF ONE POINT
In a nip and tuck .basketball con
test Friday night, Chapel Hill de
feated Charlotte by a margin of one
point and won the state champion
ship for 1921.
The game was as well played and
as keenly contested as any high
school game ever witnessed ora the
local court. The two teams stuck
to each other in scoring like leaches,
not more than three points ever sep
arating them during the first half.
Charlotte lost heavily on accoimt
of poor foul shooting, making only
10 out of 20 trials good. In all
round play the game was the best of
the high school games seen here this
week. Both teams showed much
more speed and fight than is usually
evidenced by high school aggrega
tions. , In the second half Chapel Hill was
always in the lead, running up at one
time a lead as high as 31 to 24, but
Charlotte rallied, and urged on by
Yates, whose shooting was a feature
of the game, came near tying the
score several times.
Chapel Hill appeared to have just
a slight edge throughout the entire
game. Merritt's floor work and
Poythress' shooting, and the all
round guarding of Harrell featured
for the victors. Harveili starred for
Charlotte during the first half, and
attracted much attention by his spir
ited fight against his larger op
ponent. Mallory showed up well, and
Yates' work at center was an impor
tant element in his team's play.
Chapel Hill reached the final con
test after having defeated New
Bern here Wednesday in the last lap
of the eastern finals. Charlotte de
feated Greensboro here Tusday, and
Leaksville Thursday, thus winning
the western championship and the
right to contest Chapel Hill for all
state honors. "'
ON PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Dr. Robertson, Managing Editor of
Hispanic American Review Give
Illustrated Lecture Here.
An illustrated lecture on the Phil
ippines was given Thursday night in
Gerrard Hall by Dr. James A. Robert
son, managing editor of the Hispanic
American Review and a noted author
ity on his subject. Dr. Robertson has
also been giving a seninar on the
Phillipines which has been largely at
tended. .After being introduced by Dr. W.
W. Pierson, Jr., the speaker began
his discourse by reading a simple
story of the folk lore type. His
reasons for doing this was that "it
breathed so distinctly of the old life
of the Phillipines," while the pictures
that he was to show depicted the
new or later life.
Dr. Anderson showed a number of
colored slides showing country and
city views, scenes picturing school
life and various other things of in
terest. The country views included
mountain scenery, rice terraces, cocoa
palms and large forest trees, moun
tain highways, and thatch-roofed huts
of the natives. A number of schools
were shown, as well as school games
and exhibits of articles made in the
schools. Other objects shown were
churches, river boats, and pictures of
army life and hat making.
PRESIDENT CLASS '19
SPEAKS TO FRESHMEN
Luther Hodges, president of the
class of '19 spoke to the Freshmen
in Chapel Friday morning. "I feel,"
said Hodges, "like all Carolina men
feel when they come back to the
Hill." He then told about a few of
the things which carried Carolina
through that awful period of the S.
, A. T. C. Hodges said that the prinH
cipal thing was that Everlasting
Carolina Spirit, the spirit of a true
gentleman. Another thintr was the
beautiful spirit of Dr. Chase who was
Just taking over the reins of the Uni
versity. That same spirit with which
he steered her through that crisis has
made the University what she is to
day, and has a great influence in mak
ing the Legislature give such a great
appropriation to the University.

JUNIORS INAUGURATE
A "CLEAN-UP" WEEK
The Junior class is co-operating
with the Community Club, in in
augurating a "Clean Up" week on the
campus. Last year the Junior class
did the same thing with good results.
The purpose is to stop the general
throwing of trash anywhere on the
campus, and to use the trash cans in
stead. The Community Club have asked
the students to help them in this cam
paign, especially uptown and around
the post office. New trash cans have
been placed at these places. There
is no regular street cleaning depart
ment in Chapel Hill and this is the
only way that the town can be kept
clean. This club has been having
these "Clean Up" weeks several
times a year.

MAKE INSPECTION TRIP
Professor Thorndike Seville Takes
Senior Students on Long Trip
in North and South Carolina.
A very successful and interesting
trip was undertaken recently when
Mr. Thorndike Saville, professor of
hydraulic and sanitary engineering
took five of his senior students in
water power engineering for a four
day inspection trip to various light
and power plants' in North and South
Carolina. ,
Their itinerary took them on
March 4 to the plants of the Ameri
can Aluminum company, at Badin,
and the Carolina Light & Power
company at Blewitt Falls, while on
the 5th and 6th, they visited the
Southern Power Company's develop
ment on the Catawba river at Fish
ing Creek, Great Falls, Rocky Creek
and Wateree, South Carolina. On
the 7th, they returned to the Hill.
Through the courtesy of the South
ern Power Co., automobiles were
furnished for conducting the party
to the various plants near Great
Falls and Wateree, South Carolina.
Students making the trip were: SI C.
Austin, of Richfield; F. R. Bacon, of
Charlotte; J. B. Broach, of Hurdle
Mills; W. A. 'Hill and K. B. Noe,
both of Charlotte.
The results of this, trip were ex
ceedingly valuable for every plant
visited showed a different type of
hydro-electric development, which
varied all the way from the Badin
plant, operating under a head of wa
ter of 180 feet and the second
highest overflowing dam in the
United States, to the plant at Blew
itt Falls, operating under a head of
water of 45 feet.
Photographs were taken by the
party showing the operating condi
tions at the plants. The trip was a
part of the regular University work
and the students will be required to
report on all they saw. During this
week Dr. Saville will take his class
in materials and construction, C. E.
17, over to Durham to inspect the
various pruiH'sairo ill tin- jimiiu.'tiuic j
of iron and steel.

FOR FIRST TEAR TEAM
Nearly Hundred Candidates Out for
i Berth on Fred Patterson's
Freshman Outfit.
Freshman baseball got away to a
good start late last week when more
than one hundred candidates re
sponded to Coach Fred Patterson's
initial call to arms.
The first day out was taken up in
a general limbering up of all can
didates, and a general classification
of the various men in the groups
that would receive special instruction
in the art of the position for which
they were trying. Some dozen pitch
ers, and about half that many catch
ers offer abundant battery material,
while there is no lack of aspirants
for any of the infield positions, and
the outfield presents in itself a seem
ingly hopeless job in elimination.
Whatever may be said about pros
pects for this year's Freshman squad,
there is certainly no lack of material.
', Among the more promising candi
dates are two men from last year's
Greensboro High School team, which
won the championship, and five from
the Burgaw outfit who were defeat
ed by Greensboro at Chapel Hill in
the final contest of the championship
series.
TO
DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP
Would Avoid After-Season Wrangle
by Post Season Series of
Games by Contestants.
I A sport writer of the Greensboro
Daily News suggests a remedy for
the annual after-season college bas
ketball wrangle (so it seems to him)
in which this season the Elon Col
lege faculty athletic committee
springs the matter, contending that
Carolina has not the undisputed
champion basketball team of the
State until her team defeats Elon on
its home floor.
The "same " faculty" committee fur
ther asserts that the assumption that
Trinity, upon the defeat of whom the
Tar Heel bases Carolina's claim, had
any right to compete for the champ
ionship is all wrong, because she did
not play Davidson, Elon or Guilford,
and Wake Forest only one game.
From comparative scores in games
with colleges of this state and Virginia
this writer states that in his opinion
the Carolina team is almost without
doubt the champion of the State,
but he thinks that Elon and the other
colleges who have not been played
really have a justifiable contention.
He proposes that in the future each
of the State colleges have one game
scheduled with every other college
and that a post-season series be ar
ranged between the several teams
making the best showing for the
season and the championship could
be decided without question.
He furthermore suggests the
formation of a State collegiate asso
ciation which would control all inter
collegiate athletics between colleges
of the State. He points to the success
of the Carolina officials, together with
the managers of the high school
teams, in mapping out schedules each
year which almost without question
have decided the championship.
The same writer states that the
collegians want the support of the
sport lovers of the State and in ask
ing this support, they owe it to the
fans to form an association to make
schedules which will justly decide the
State championship in the various
sports.

SOUTHERN ORATORICAL CONTEST
HONORS WON BY CAROLINA MAN
IN SECOND ANNUAL MEET HERE

E
"Education for Citizenship" Endorsed
by National Educational
Council.
A report entitled "Education for
Citizenship," prepared by Professor
J. C. DeRouhlac Hamilton and Edgar
W. Knight of the University faculty,
was unanimously endorsed by the
Committee on Citizenship at the
meeting of the National Council of
Education at Atlantic City last week,
This committee consisted of many
of the leading teachers of the coun
try in History and Education. It
asked that they continue the study
for the purpose of adapting the idea
in the report on the needs of Col
leges and Universities.
This report was first prepared by
Professors Hamilton and Knight as
consultants in General Education for
the Education and Recreation Branch
of the War Department, and it was
accepted by the Chief of Staff and
15,000 copies were ordered publish
ed for the service.
The report requires that every
man, in order to be a trained and
creative citizen, must have the ability
to defend his country, make a living,
enjoy and improve his environment,
and contribute to the life of his
time; he must have a reasonable de
gree of intelligence in the funda
mental processes of economic life, in
the important problems in social life,
in government, and in general
humanistic interests; and he must
have an attitude of fairness, honesty,
kindness, and helpfulness toward his
fellow man; and of responsibility to
ward society in general.
The committee at Atlantic City at
first disapproved of the last of. these
requirements. Two men of the com
mittee contended that if the citizen
had the necessary amount of ability
and intelligence his attitude would
inevitably be correct, and that edu
cation could not develop his disposi
tion. However, they finally agreed
with the report, and it was accepted
unanimously.
J. Y. JORDAN FORMS
Men are Needed Who Have Knowl
edge of the Middle In
struments. Jay Y. Jordan, of Asheville, a
member of the second year law class,
recently in the consular service at
Brest, France, and formerly the lead
er and organizer of the Carolina
Minstrels in 1916-18, which was the
most successful musical organization
probably Carolina has ever had, has
ust organized a band of about 14
pieces. Ihe hrst practice was held
n Battle park last week. Mr. Jor
dan will receive the full co-operation
of the Music Department, the Uni
versity and the R. O. T. C. in pro
viding uniforms, instruments and
sheet music for his fellow cohorts.
Mr. Jordan is in especial need of
a student who has knowledge of the
middle instruments, namely, baritone
and trombone, et(. All students mu
sically inclined who have some
knowledge of music are requested to
hand their names to the "Y" secre
tary or Mr. Jordan. It is thought
that at the opening of the baseball
season the band will be fully organ
ized and equipped to play at games
on the Hill and away from home
besides playing at student gather
ings.
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
NEARING COMPLETION
Work is progressing on the streets
and sidewalks in the eastern end of
town. The streets are being dragged
and the gutters dug out. Where it is
needed a new surface of gravel is be
ing put on the sidewalks. The work
will be completed in a few weeks.
Recently the county commissioners
appropriated a sum of money to carry
on this work. A small tractor has
been purchased by the town, and this
has been instrumental in the work
on the streets. There are only three
men at work on the job. Consider
ing this small number the work is
progressing rapidly.
Gould of Johns Hopkins Takes
Second Place in the
Contest.
D. R. HODGIN IS WINNER
Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Johns
Hopkins, Vanderbilt and Ken
tucky Represented.
(By J. G. GULLICK)
Taking as his subject "War De
clared," D. R. Hodgin, representing
Carolina, won first place in the sec
ond annual contest of the Southern
Oratorical League held here Friday
night, winning over representatives
of five other Southern universities.
Johns Hopkins University won sec
ond place and Kentucky took the
third honors.
Six of the largest Southern uni
versities were represented in this
contest. In addition to Carolina,
there were representatives from the
University of Virginia, the University
of Alabama, Johns Hookins Univer
sity, Vanderbilt University, and the
University of Kentucky.
The judges were President F. W.
Boatwright, of Richmond University;
Prof. C. R. Brown, of Roanoke Col
lege, and Prof. Yates Snowden, of
the University of South Carolina.
President Chase presided at ihe con
test.
Mr. Hodgin spoke on "War Declar
ed," his oration being an appeal for
the development of manhood in Amer
ica. He said that in the recent war
we paid a high cost without hesitat
ing, but did not gain. We gambled
and lost, he declared, and undertook
to show that war gains nothing. The
speaker spoke of a silent war, in
which he said we had all been traitors.
"We must say 'War Declared' against
ignorance and sloth. Why boast of
freedom and safety for democracy
when industry and the social struc
ture are rotten.'" He made an an-
peal for the development of real men
for this war.
This is not the first success that
Mr. Hodgin has achieved in oratory.
lasi year he represented Carolina
in the Mate Peace Oratorical con
test, and had the honor of winning
second place. In the national con
test he won first place. The winner
entered the University in the fall of
1919 as a special student, and has
identified himself with numerous col
lege activities. He is a member of
the Phi. Society, the Debating Coun
cil, Carolina Playmakers, Satyrs,
Tau Kappa Alpha, an inter-collegiate
uuuaung ana oratory fraternity.
jonns Hopkins was represented by
Theodore Gould, who won second
prize. He took as his subject "Amer
ica and the Japanese," and advocated
a more rigid exclusion of the Jap
anese from this country, giving three
reasons for this: The safeguarding
of the white race, world-wide peace,
and the economic well being of
America were his reasons for keep
ing out the Japs.
