Til 9 Volume XXIX Chapel Hill, N. C, May 20, 1921. No. 62 T IE YEAR AS A IDLE IS A SUCCESSFUL ONE ALL ATHLETIC PHASES State Championship Held by Tar Heel! in Baseball and Basketball. FOOTBALL IS ONLY MAR. By JAKE WADE. When the Trinity College victory rung down the curtain on the 1921 baseball season, and when the Tar , Heels copped fourth place in the South Atlantic track meet on the same day, Carolina closed one of her most successful athletic years. State championship honors were won in basketball and baseball, and missed by a single point in track. Cham pionship over South Carolina could be claimed in both basketball and baseball and over Virginia in base ball. The reverses of the football season, and defeats by North Caro lina State and Virginia on. the gri diron, were the chief mars of an otherwise highly successful athletic year. The year was marked by many significant events for Carolina. The basketball and baseball teams were, perhaps, the best teams that have ever represented the Blue and White. The coming of Coach Bill Fetzer, who did his first work for Carolina with the coaching of the baseball team this spring, and who will be at the head of athletics here perman ently with Bob Fetzer, his brother, as assistant, was one of the most im portant events of the year, and marks the beginning of a new era in Caro lina athletics. Coach Bill Fetzer's popularity which had already been acquired through his reputation as a coach at Davidson and State was only augmented in the eyes of the Carolina student body by his notable work with the baseball team here this tymg. r K ; - Baseball Season Big Success. . Coach Fetzer had the material for a successful baseball team, and he used it to advantage. With Llew ellyn, Wilson, Sweetman, Lowe, and McLean, as letter men and with such men aa Fred Morris, Boy Morris, Shirley and v McDonald from last year's freshman team, Fetzer had a squad of ball players seldom equalled in a college of Carolina's size. Frank Spruill, an old Caro lina man, was a newcomer and he immediately showed himself to be a versatile ball player that knew all sorts of baseball and could h;t, run and field, and Fetzer saw fit to shove Shirley to the outfield and put Spruill on the initial sack, one of his wisest moves. Both these men played star ball throughout the season. Carolina won sixteen games, lost four, and tied one. Carolina defeated Virginia in all three games of the annual series, the first time either of these teams has ever accomplished this feat. The team was a slugging aggrega tion long drives being especially fre quent. Llewellyn, Bryson, and Wil son were the leading moundsmen. Llewellyn led the team in hitting but only went to bat forty-nine times, while Spruill, who was up seventy five times, can perhaps be called the real leader. Fred Morris was third in the batting averages for the sea son. Football Season Only Mar. The reverses of the football sea son was the only mar of the year. Carolina fought and lost a hard sched ule. Defeated by both North Caro lina State and Virginia, and winners only from Wake Forest and South Carolina, the season must be called a failure. Coaches Fuller and Hite had a big proposition before them with much inexperienced calibre to work with, and with their coaching meth ods essentially different from what the Tar Heels were accustomed to everything seemed to handicap. Cap tain Beemer Harrell, Runt Lowe, John Hutichins, and Dave Jacobi, were perhaps the outstanding stars of the season, although Tenney, Hanby, Morris, Poindexter, and all the rest come in for their share of glory as they went down with colors still flying. Championship Quint. Major Boye, who had charge of the coaching of the basketball team for the year, was blessed with unusually good material, and as a result fie turned out the best basketball team that has ever represented Carolina. Although the record of twelve vic tories and eight defeats does not im press one as being unusually remark able, together with the registering of 668 points against opponents 487, (Continued on rage Four; ACADEMIC CLASSES IN MEETINGS ELECT THE UFFICEHS FOR 1921-2 William Bobbitt it Unanimously Elected President f tk.

Carmichael, speaking in chapel last Tuesday morning, on the question of "Why do men fail in college?" said that the answer was in their inability to say "No" to a temptation. He cited instances to prove his point. Carmichael said that hardly any senior in college at the present time has attained the things that he de sired to attain when he first entered the University. He said that this was not due to inability but to his lack of the power to say "No" to anything that tended to keep them from their duties. He told of the temptation to go to the Pickwick when yon have a quiz to get up for the next day. He said that the inability to say "No" to such temptations as this is the fundamental reason for college fail ure. He cited his own experiences as proof for his points and pointed nut that if a man is to be successful in college he must learn to say "No" to temptations when he has an im portant duty to perform. r t Williams, next vear's Y. M. C a n.nnf rlplivered a short, in teresting talk to a small number of ,men in the Y reading room last lues day night. He selected as his sub ect, ''Excuses." In the course of his remarks pointed out forceful illus ihA Bvciises were worse braiiuua " . than worthless. In conclusion he stated that "one who excuses him self accuses himself." NEW TAR HEEL BOARD TO BE SELECTED FROM THE FOLLOWING LIST OF NOMINATIONS. In accordance with the provisions of the constitution of nominations for the several offices on the Tar Heel Board. To the General Athletic association, I am making the following the list of nominations first made has been added the name, at the time of general nominations, of one man who is also a mem ber of the present board. And so, the complete list of nominees follows: JONATHAN W. DANIELS, C. J. PARKER . . . . , Assistant Editor L. D. SUMMEY Assistant Editor W. H. ATKINSON Assistant Editor G. W. M'COY Assistant Editor (Vote for Two) JAKE WADE Managing Editor BOB GRAY Managing Editor JAMES Y. KERR Managing Editor (Vote for One) B. HUME BARDIN Assignment Editor J. G. GULLICK Assignment Editor (Vote for One) At the time I asked the managing editor to save this space for my use, I had anticipated that there might be further nom inations made from the student body. As there were none, I have no occasion to make the statement that I had intended making. The student body has done right in not making nomina tions of outsiders, and I now commend to it the task of se lecting the best men from the above list. All of these men have been members of the board for at least a half a year, most of them for the entire year. All of these men are capable, and any board that you may select from this list will produce for you for the coming year the best Tar Heel that has yet been produced. They will be enabled to gather up the accomplish ments and experiences of this year and. project them into the future, rather than being compelled to start anew at the be ginning of the coming college year. DANIEL L. GRANT. TAR HEEL SCRIBES ARE , GIVEN FINE WORK OUT Business Manager Throws Bouquet For Hard Working Reporters and a Nigbt of Relief is Enjoyed Business Manager Phillip Hettle man opened up his heart and his pocketbook Monday night and pre-j sented the Tar Heel Board with one of the biggest little parties ever staged in these parts. All the counts and the no-accounts was there. The party lost sight of every sigh, ot sobriety who knows but what the Volstead Act was included? and there was nothing to detract from a perfect night of revelry for the college scribe. The common hard working report ers usurped the office of Editor-in-Chief for the night and Dan Grant was reduced to the contempfble role of cub reporter. However, since he retained some little dignity, which was forgotten entirely by the re mainder of the crew, he was al'.owed to preside and do the high knocker stunt even though he was addressed as "Mister Reporter." With a pas sionate line across his sophisticated brow he called on Monsieur Charley Parker for an inspired letter and a few lines of poetry he had written while in maudlin feelings on a rainy and lonesome Sunday afternoon, to a little bob-haired blonde in the City of Oaks. Charley grew extremely sentimental after the first few lines and then became uncontrollably pas sionate as he warbled through thir teen pages of tepid love, after which he sank back into his chair with tears in his eyes. By this time the grape fruit had been sopped up and the efficient Jim Stroud and his worthy assistant brought in great healthy gobs of bref steak, trimmed with green peas and mafhed potatoes. As the last of the beef steak was being fought over by Dice Daniels and Luscious Sum mey, Commodore Grant got up and jelled to Bob Cray . f . a little poli tical spiel entitled "I Lurve the Uni versity. He was kicked into a state of semi-consciousness and blundered through a vague political speech di rected at all his rivals. "Somebody in this crowd is a thief, a crook, and a grafter, and I give you my right hand it is not I," said tha fear less Bob. He was immediately moL1- i bed by an incessant stream of pop bottles and other mysterious vials, until he finally admitted that the gentleman he was attacking was seated on his immediate right hand. Whereupon Jake Wade arose and said that he, for one, was not no liar, not no crook, not no grafter, but that he knew one who was all (Continued on Page 2) . Editor-in-Chief L IS OF NEXT YEAR'S TEAM Carolina's Dependable Moundsman : and Leader of Team in Hitting Unanimously Elected by Team Llewellyn was unanimously elected captain of the 1922 baseball team by his team mates in Durham Satur day after the final game of the sea son with Trinity College. The news of his election to the cap tainship of next season's team was welcomed With great satisfaction by the campus. His three year's ser vice as a varsity moundsman, his timely and terrific hitting during the season just ended, and his general popularity make him especially fitted to pilot Fetzer's baseball aggrega tion for next season. Big "Lew" hails from Dobson, N. C, and he has always been rated as a first class ball player. Last year in every game he pitched he distinguished himself, and this sea son he has been at his best in every contest. At bat has been some of his best work, and the elongated twirler led the Tar Heels in hitting for the season just closed. PATTERSON SPEAKS ON Speaks of Regulations That the Uni versity Enforces in Regard to Courses and Attendance. Speaking in chapel last Monday morning Dean Patterson, of the School of Applied Science spoke on the rules that the University has to govern scholarship. , Mr. Patterson told of the regula tions that the University enforce in regard to courses and attendance. He' said that the freshmen who do not pass four full courses cannot re turn next year. He stated this rule had never been broken as far as he knows, and that it was iron clad. He said that this rule has to be enforced because of some students who are too lazy to pass their work. He said that there 'was some excuse for the student who has poor preparation but that the rule must be applied be cause of some lazy students who could pass their work if they try. He said that there was no danger of a student coming here unprepared and not passing enough work off to come back if .he has t, serious pur pose in view. Dr. H. W. Odum, Kenan Profes jor of Public Welfare, delivered the address at the closing exercises of the Plymouth High School on Tues day night of this week. ALL PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETED FOR FINAL DANCES JUNE 15 AND 16 Weidemeyer's Saxapbone Orchestra With Two Pianos is to Furnish the Jas for the Occasion. HOLD DANCES IN SWAIN The 1921 final dances are going to be the final word in joyful jazz. Weidemeyer's Saxaphone Orchestra, our friends of the fall and spring dances, will again be with us, and more than that they are going to bring along two piano players, and of course, "Skinny." Over a hun dred of the Souths most beautiful have already accepted the invitations to be on hand for the fifteenth and sixteenth of next month to help us make Swain Hall a temple of joy. As usual the dances are going to be held in Swain Hall, for the crowds expected will be more than the gym could possibly handle. But the Swain of the dances will not be the Swain of our present acquaintance, a rejuvenation of the old place will take place as soon as exams are over. Chief Ball Manager Billy Car michal, assisted by his minions, the assistant managers, will have the floor in excellent condition, and he is planning something extraordinary in the way of decoration. Even the most habitual Swainite will not know the place. Another brilliant feature of t'lis year's dances will be the attractive favors given to the ladies. These favors will not only be a souvenir of the occasion, but will be both beautiful and useful. It is the aim of Manager C-ar-michal to set a lasting precedent for Carolina finals. There will be no enormous profits for the managers, as has hitherto been the practice. The dances will hot be cheapened to lower the cost, but they are going to be run on an entirely new plan. In a few days cards are going to be distributed around the campus; all, who at the time intend to' be on hand for the dances, will be asked to sign. These cards will in no way be considered a pledge, but will only be intended to give the man agers a line on the number that will be here. The cost of the dances will be regulated according to these cards. If two hundred sigh, the cost will be only ten dollars a man for all the dances, if there are more than two hundred the cost will be still lower. , Visitors are going to be allowed, for with the floor space that Swain Hall affords, and with the number of girls that will be here there will be no fear of a too crowded affair. The dances will start on Wednes day, the 15th of June. Thers will be a dance Wednesday afternoon and another that night. On Thursday there will be three dances, morning, afternoon and night. The Ball Managers for this year are: Chief, Billy Carmichal; assls tants, Ike Thorp, Will Ruffin, Jessie Erwin, John Shaw, Wade Gardener and Saunders Williamson, UNA WINS F PLACE IN TRACK MEET Royall, Yates, Ranson, Smiley, and Abernathy Place in South At lantic Track Event.
