Vol. XXX November 1, 1921 No AS YOUR BETTERS HAVE DONE There has been here at Carolina from the beginning of the earliest memory it custom that was a part of the best that is our tradition. meeting along campus path or along the sidewalks of the village have spoken to each other cordially and with a common respect for each other as men closer knit together by their . life here. Very often these men did not know each other but they did know that they WAM I ' It " vruu men ana tellows in the life of the campus, Always this has been tradition but now something that amounts to very little in itself is still able to do harm to an old and glorious spirit ; i of fellowship by the; very, littleness of its methods. ' 7eap: University welcom ed from the high schools and prep schools of this and other states, what ,ened.0 n ceptionaI freshman class. The long lines of them that formed at registration were made up of clean cut and eager young men, whom we were glad to nave with us. Since they, have been here one thing about them has made us a lit tle less sure of our hearty and prompt judgment of them. Not in the acts of the whole class but in the petty, seemingly snobbish, attitude of cer tain members of the freshman class. At meeting Carolina men speak, but in these days when men are accepted here from the outset as Carolina men without a year of pur gatory as "rats" it is a rather pe culiar sensation that an upperclass man experiences when his cordial salute is not returned by a passing freshman. It is not necessary that you form a II v in f 1 : e . j .-v.. wwgiiui men x or tney are already your comrades. Time has passed when you need be afraid that mat they will haze you but the day will never pass when you do not as Jess experienced and owe the upperclassmen Amount of respect. Interest in tennis here has grown rapidly during the last two years not only as an intra-mural sport but as an intercollegiate activity. . Until very recently tennis was a very in considerable part of the athletic ac tivities of the University. Now, both within the college and among all col leges, the interest in this branch of sport has become of considerable moment. The graduate manager of the Uni versity has fallen in with the idea of, encouraging tennis and is giving aid in fixing up the tennis court here. The courts are to be improved to a considerable degree and already self-help students have been em ployed to put and keep them in shape. In time the present courts, or many of them, will have to go to make way for buildings. There ought to be some thinking, at once, about the .future layout of courts. Men who are interested in all Uni versity athletics should look forward and see the day when tennis will be one of the most vital sports at thej University. tennis is played by more men than any other game in the Uni versity. It is a clean, healthy, al together admirable sport, and noth ing ought to be left undone to give students a chance to play. , The day before Thanksgiving Day there is to be a meet with the Uni versity of Virginia. The tennis com aiittee is not only getting the courts in excellent shape for the meet but it will also endeavor to provide seats for spectators despite the fact that the chief attention of the student body will be forcused on the football clas sic scheduled for the following day. THE MARYLAND VICTORY. No one thing, perhaps, has so stir red the student body into a demon stration of spirit and loyalty as the brilliant and unexpected victory over Maryland Saturday. News of the triumph spread like wild fire, and the campus rather indifferent on ac count of recent reverses, changed into a. glorious acclamation of vic tory. A bonfire was built and burned in celebration. , Students have talked of hardly anything else since. It was indeed a pleasing outcome. The eleven deserves congratulations from all of us. Defeating a team that had listed Rutgers among its victims, and was doped to win from Carolina. b a comfortable margin, Coach Fetxer's aggregation register ed something more than a notable victory. The team displayed a mas terful exhibition of football, play ing a better brand in practically every phase of the game than did the Maryland team. There is glory in such a victory. Carolina is proud of the feat. STUDENT FORUM younger men certain OUR NEIGHBORS GLORY. The South was glad1 Saturday when the "Praying Colonels" of Center College defeated the Har vard eleven by a score of 6 to 0. The representatives of the smallest college on the Harvard schedule had done what no other team had been able to do in forty years defeated the Crimson machine in an inter sectional battle. ' i ne actual victory belonged to the famous "Bo" McMillin but be hind him was a team closely knit together by a glorious spirit seldom equalled in collegiate history. The victory pf the, little Kentucky college over the redoubtable Crim son eleven was a victory as well for the whole South. News, of it was received in Chapel Hill with an ardor that was only equalled by the word that our own Tar Heels had defeate ' the University of Maryland in Bal timore. The University of North Carolina and the entire South are happy to congratulate Center Col lege on its magnificent victory. (All Anonymous Correspondence Will Be Disregarded.) To the Editor of The Tar Heel: Whatever the future athletic policy of the University may be, the game of tennis should receive the most en thusiastic support from both the stu dents' and the University authorities. As the building program is developed there will no doubt be ample pro vision for courts. Frequent tourna ments should be held, bringing a large number of players into competition and developing talent for intercol legiate matches. Let us grant at once that tennis does not possess the spectacular, crowd-drawing quality of football or baseball. As a game to be looked at it may never take first place, but as a game to be played by students it has no equal and general par ticipation in sports, rather than the development of a few star athletes, is now everywhere recognized as the result for which every institution should strive. If it came to a choice here be tween producing a splendid team for intercollegiate matches and affording opportunities for play to many hun dreds of students, the latter purpose should be preferred without hesita tion. But the two things are ndt op posed. Each works in with and en courages the other. The student tennis committee, this fall, has set out to put the game upon a sound footing, and if it keeps up its effort it will be doing a vast benefit to the student body. It has begun to overhaul the courts to have them sprinkled, rolled and lined. Some of the courts have not been reached yet, but I am told it is the committee's purpose to put them all in good shape. At the same time it has inaugurated a try-out tourna ment to determine the make-up of a team to play Virginia here the day I before Thanksgiving. Dr. Lawson told me the other day that his observation of athletics, ex tending over many years, had con vinced him that of all games tennis is the best for the physical de velopment of young men. And it has one virtue that is not . often com mented upon: it is practically: the only college sport that can be kept up in after life. This is so because the playing of it requires a space so small that courts can be built within towns, because it can be played by as few as two persons, and because the cost of playing it is not exces sive. In England men in their sixties play tennis and play it well. I saw a man, pf fifty-two defeat, in a Lon don tournament, an . American who was ranked at the time in America's first ten. . Arthur Balfour, when he was. prime minister, of England and well oyer sixty years old, played in a tournament on the Riviera and gave a goo& account of himself. So, the young man who becomes fond of tennis when he is in college is. laying the foundation for a lot of enjoyment through the years to come. I hope The Tar Heel and all other organs f.f student opinion will get behind the game and do a1.', they can to stimulate interest in it.

SKETCHES By C. J. P., Jr. only left a slightly bitter taste where there had been, before only anticipa tion of perfection.. .But then it has often been remarked that the second dessert portion is never half so entic ing as the first. A Blustery Monarch The cold snap has brought forth the old uniform and army overcoat again, lhe odor of moth balls is in the air, and a sense of wrinkles per vades the community. Ice cream venders are tearing their hair, while signs of hot chocolate are making their appearance in the downtown cafes. Strange things are happening even now during Hallowe'en after math. The trees are hanging their heads and exposing shamlessly bare limbs. Students have acquired late ly a habit of squirming most unna turally on class in such a manner even as would lead us to suspect another coating of woolens. Oh, winter, your advent is indeed cruel. Speaking of Columns Again we are off on our column our column we say, though it is ours only until we have nurtured it through the stages of infancy and have made it safe from the scurrilous diseases of early childhood, and can turn it safely over to you, its readers and ultimate possessors, in swaddling clothes it is true, but in the radiant glow and promise of youthful health. "Sketches," unlike so many of our greatest men is incapable of making itself we would be indeed proud if it could, for originality and unique ness of accomplishment represent, to us the pinnacle to which we would see our brain children achieve but as vain and doting parents we admit the impossibility, involved, and that real free verse will be a lion among the column artists, but even at that he has no more chance than the com poser of snappy lyrics. Mere jokes have their place- items of personal and local interest only, and familiar essays are especially desired. Loosen up, Carolina literati and let the column have some of your wares! Well, we reckon, since our little football eleven represented quite ably by those two promising young gen tlemen, called Messrs Lowe and John son, went up and whacked off a large slice of bacon desired by the team from the University of Maryland, maybe the whine that some of us have been putting up, "Taint no use, cause Carolina is chased by a jinx always," will die in oblivion. Any way let's hope. Too much of this hard luck tale has been giong the rounds. True, we have a whole flock of hard luck always, it seems, and State College wasn't due to win that memorable fair week contest, but all the same and nevertheless, we have a hunch that our future is brilliant. If there was a jnix, it has been broken now. Nothing less than all the breaks are coming our way from now on. Too much confidence never pays, but optimism always raised stock about a hundred per cent, and if we get it in our heads that we are go ing to beat Virginia here on this Turkey Day, we will come all round doing so. Let's keep up this spirit raised by the Maryland results. R. B. S. Water polo and swimming are com ing into their own at the University of Oregon. A water polo team is settles the argument.

To the Editor of The Tar Heel: Please publish the following out burst, lest 1 wallow m the gore of self-inflicted wounds. ' Paul Trotter. Musicians, Notice! There is a right which every man on this campus has. That right is to go to any piano on the hill, at any hour of day or. night, and play until he has satisfied himself and all his ilk whether or not he can play. But that right has this single quali fication: he can not do it if it inter feres to a reasonable extent with the study of others! ' - This right is real and absolute; but it is a secondary right. . I may, with perfect immunity, clout anyone as savagely as I please on the nose, or as often as I please. But if he object to savage clout being deposited on ancestral snout, I have no right to do it; It is a wrong. I understand that it is not the policy of the governors of this cam pus to say strictly: you shall not do this, or that. Our government is an experiment in absolute democracy, founded on the belief that given all liberty a gentleman can be a law unto himself interfering with no man. They will not lock the pianos ,or make an eight-hour day for man dolins. Don't wait for such an ac tion. 1 I like music. I like it very much. Everyone likes it.

Last Thursday we again had the pleasure of witnessing that spectacle which has been termed the greatest of motion picture productions, . "The Birth of a , Nation." Of course we had seen the. picture, before who hasn't? But there was some irresist ible attraction about the name and fame, of the. play that drew us into the Pickwick to brave the cigarette smoke and peanuts for the whole ten reels. But there was something lack ing true the picture was thie same, save for some apparently inexperi enced cuttings, the film version of the story of the Clansmen was identically the same as it was when first we witnessed it but something was lack ing. And that something was the very thing that had rendered the memory of it so indelibly in our minds that which had surcharged the atmosphere of every theatre at which it was shown on its first run with an intenseness that has never been approached by any other mo tion picture. Announcements stated that the picture would be accom panied by the original orchestral score and so it was! but there were no finished musicians, drilled and perfected in the accomplishment for this one picture.
