FACTS ABOUT GRIDIRON
DISPUTE EXPLAINEO BY
Louis Graves, University Publicity
Man, Goes Into Detail To Clear
Up Facts Probably Unknown
INTERESTING CONTROVERSY
(By Louis Graves)
Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away the people of North Car
olina and Virginia may consider at
leisure the case of the recent sensa
tional football dispute a dispute Ciat
threatened to cause the cancellation
of the Carolina-Virginia game on
Thanksgiving Day, to disarrange the
plans of ten thousand spectators,
many of whom were coming from
a great distance to witness the
event, and to wreck for years to
come, perhaps forever, the historic
athletic competition between the uni
versities of the two states.
About the whole affair here is the
one outstanding and important fact:
The football team and students and
alumni of the University of Vir
ginia, by their sportsmanlike action
in demanding that the decision of
their faculty committee to cancel the
game should not stand, saved the
situation. They prevented an ath
letic calamity. Not only did the
Virginia team, coaches, and student
body demand to come and play the
game the team even declaring, in
its fervor, that it was coming,
facuhy permitting or not but the
alumni at Richmond passed resolu
tions demanding that the game be
played, and the president of the
Un.versity, who happened to be in
Richmond the day before the game,
decided that it should be played.
A striking result of the episode,
which might easily have led to great
bitterness between the institutions,
is tii:.t never before has the spirit
existing between the student bodies
been so cordial as it is now. The
Carolina students appointed a recep
tion committee to go out and meet
the Virginia team half way to Dur
ham, and the automobiles of visi
tors and welcomers formed a parade
up tne main street. Practically the
entire student body was waiting for
them in front of the post office and
gave the Virginia team just such an
ovation as it might have given its
own team returning from victory.

PAH HELLENIC COUNCIL
ROLDS REGAAR SESSION
Decide to Award Scholarship Cup to
Fraternity Making Highest
Grades During Year.
The Pan-Hellenic Council held its
regular monthly meeting and trans
acted some very important fraternity
matters. President Frazier of the
council presented the matter of
a Pan-Hellenic scholarship cup
to be awarded each year to the
academic fraternity holding the high
est scholastic average for the pre
vious year. The idea was favorably
acted upon and a committee of
Frank Spruill and William Harris was
appointed to handle the matter.
An election of fraternity editors
for the Yackety Yack resulted in the
election of the following: G. Watts
Hill, Robert H. Frazier, John T.
Barnes, J. T. McCaw, Chas. G. Lee,
Jr., W. W. Williams. The fraterni
ties are already represented on the
business management by I. D. Thorp.
The question of an organization
directly was considered and received
approval. Inter-fraternity athletics
was discussed but no action was
taken. The regular monthly meet
ing was set for the first Tuesday
night in each month.
Thursday afternoon the council
met at the office of Dean Francis
F. Bradshaw. The meeting proved
most succesful in showing the earn
est work of the fraternities at the
University and the cordial relation
ship between them. Dean Bradshaw
presented a letter from R. C. De
Rosett, '18, in which Mr. DeRosett
made recommendations of fraternity
direction by the University. The let
ter was appreciated by the council
and received much attention. Atten
tion was called to the regulation of
the University preventing fraternity
dining rooms and the council was in
favor of a change in this regulaton.
Sophomore social orders received con
siderable discussion and the question
of their abolition was laid on the
table to be taken up at the next
meeting. The meeting closed after
an inspiring talk by Dean Bradshaw
on fraternity opportunities.
The picking of an all-state foot
ball, baseball or basketball team is
a thankless job. No all-state, all
southern, or ail-American team has
ever been selected, but what a storm
of protests has arisen from every
point on the compass, and the writer's
all-state team will no doubt bring a
howl from everybody on the campua
with the exception of the man pick
ing it, and possibly the men on the
football team that take a place in the
line-up.
An all-state team should be select
ed, with not only the individual work
of the men chosen for the positions
in view, but also the probable results
of the men working together as a
team. An all-state team chosen with
only the individual in view will be
unbalanced, unstable, possibly inex
perienced, and a second rate team,
properly coached might be able to
make them look like high school boys.
In choosing the ends for the team
many things have been taken into
consideration. Speed, the absolute
necessity of an end, experience,
without which the wing man is help
less, and last, but most important,
ability to handle forward passes.
Taking all this into consideration,
Homewood and Morris take first place
on the team. Both men are fast,
without a doubt the fastest ends in
the state, and they handle the pass
well. Homewood is the most experi
enced end in the state. He is a hard
tackier, is always down under punts,
and knows football.
Morris gets his place on account
of his sureness, dependability, and
ability to handle passes. He has an
uncanny ability to break up inter
ference, and is always down under
Barden, and Johnson Are Too
Speedy and Consistent for
Virginia Racqueteers.

ler, Norfleet beating Ambler by only
five votes, for assistant managers of
varsity football.

Coley was runner up in the baseball
election.
J. A. McLean was elected Vice
President of the Athletic Association
over Bill Transou. Preston Edwards
was elected secretary of the organiza
tion without opposition.
The vote excited considerable com
ment and speculation on the campus
and the announcement of the win
ners shows some very distinct sur
prises. President Sweetman of the
Athletic Association completed the
count Tuesday night.
Playing the best tennis of the year,
the Carolina team easily took Vir
ginia's count in four out of five
matches played Wednesday before
Thanksgiving. Though playing ten
nis of a high quality, the Orange
and Blue squad was helpless against
the service of Cox, the lofting of
Captain Barden. and consistent ten
nis played by Johnston.
The Carolina outfit showed a de
cided superiority in the singles, tak
ing three straight matches. Cox dis
posed of his opponents easier than
any oiher man on the team. Cox's
man was reputed to be the best man
on the team, and was captain.
Jarvis was unable to fathom the
Cox's serve and Cox, on the other
hand, handled his with ease. Cox
won, 6-2, 6-3.
The closest match of the after
noon was . played between Johnston
and Flournoy, the Virginia man tak
ing the count finally, by a score
of 6-3, 4-6, 9-7. Johnston's tennis
was more consistent than Flournoy's,
but not so brilliant.
In a close match Barden won from
Gildersleeve, 1-6, 6-3, 9-7. Barden's
left was going good, but proved futile
at time against the smashing of Gil
dersleeve Gildersleeve's serve was
better chpn Barden's.
An agreement was made between
the two teams that the meet would
be called off at 5 :30.
because of this the doubles had
to be called off, after each team had
one all. Barden and Hawkins, how
ever, were within a point of victory
when the time was up.
Cox, in his usual form, was going
fine, and Johnston was playing his
usual consistent game. They easily
took the count of Jarvis and Gil
dersleeve, 6-3, 6-4.
Barden and Hawkins were not in
as good form as in the afternoon pre
ceding, and succumbed to Flournoy
and Archer by scores, 6-1, 4-6, 7-5.
Featured by large attendance and
with twenty-seven schools entering, a
larger number than ever before, the
State high school championship has
been a long drawn out affair, and
up to date the champions of the east
and west have not been determined.
The contest in the east has narrowed
down to New Bern, Durham, Fay
etteville and Sanford; in the west to
Asheville, Shelby, Greensboro and
Winston-Salem. ' ' I
The eastern part of the state en
tered more teams than the western,
having twenty schools entered. The
west is represented by seven. The
games played so far, according to all
reports, have been good, and much
better football than that of last year(
has been displayed. j
' The game deciding the eastern
champoinship will be played at
Chapel Hill on Emerson Field, De
cember 3. The two teams that will
play have not yet been determined.
It will be two of four now in the
race.!. New Bern, Durham, Fayette
ville and Sanford are the unelimin- j
ated. The field on which the western j
championship will be played is not
known.
The championship affair will be '
played between the winning eastern
and western team, on Emerson Field
here, December 10. Because of the
unusual interest shown by the sup-;
porters of the various teams, a large
crowd, for a game of this type is ex- j
pected. Last year 2,000 people saw j
R"ed Oak defeated by New Bern. I
The schools entering from the east
are: New Bern, Warsaw, Wilming-'
ton, Kinston, Durham, Henderson,1
Rockingham, Hamlet, Fayetteville,
RockyJVIount, Greenville, Washing-1
ton, Raleigh, Oxford, Goldsboro,'
Chapel Hill, Sanford, Raeford, Red
Oak and Smithfield. Those from the
wert: Shelby, Asheville, Monroe,!
Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston- i
Salem, and Salisbury.
The scores made by the teams are!
as follows:

NO REAL S. A. CHAMPIONS
No team in the entire circuit
has a clear title to the South
Atlantic championship. Queer
records, tangled comparative
scores, and finally brain fever
would result in an attempt to
prove that any one team can
claim the championship, al
though several teams may have
good chances at it.
Washington and Lee may try
to claim the honor, but their
failure to play any of the teams
in the circuit with the excep
tion of V. P. I. practically
eliminates them. Outside their
defeat at the hands of Centre
College, they have gone through
the season undefeated. V. P. I.
was eliminated by Maryland;
N. C. State was eliminated by
Maryland; V. M. I. was elimin
ated by V. P. I., Virginia, and
Carolina; while Virginia wa3
eliminated by Carolina and
Maryland also fell before Caro
lina. Georgetown failed to play
enough games in the circuit to
justify claiming it.
Carolina, with a; win over
Virginia, V. M. I. and Maryland,
has a notable showing, although
the whole business is so tangled
up Carolina never could claim it.

The fall dances are over. Satur

have returned to normalcy.
Many of the young ladies that are

"Reward Offered" is an excellent
little comedy of the romance of a
little mountain girl who is ambitious
for a taste of real life. The char
acters are well picked and, although.
DerhaD3 a little light from a strict
literary point of view, it is a play

National Psychology Fraternity Has
Formal Installation at Univer
sity Number Members.
The Gamma chapter of the Alpha
Psi Delta fraternity was established
' in the University when Carl Murchi-
son, president, of Miami University
, held a meeting in Peabody Wednes
day evening and initiated several fac
ulty men and students as members.
This fraternity was founded in
I 1911 at Ohio State and has grown
rapidly in membership. It has its
; Beta chapter at Miami University.
Dr. H. V. Crane, an instructor in
psychology, and formerly from Ohio
State, led to its establishment here.
It is an honorary as well as a pro
fessional organization, the aim of
which is to promote fellowship and
scholarship among students of psy
chology, and to establish standards
and create interest in both pure and
applied fields of psychology.
The following students and fac
ulty were Initiated: Teers, Latshaw,
Battle, McFadden, Jobe, Dr. L. A.
Williams, Wall, Norfleet, Henderlite,
Jo:ie;, Green, Dr. J. F. Dashiell,
Glenn, Dr. H. V. Crane, Bondurant,
Dr. H. W. Odum, Isear, Shaw, Rand,
Francis Bradshaw and Dr. H. W.
Chase.
Two me i of national reputation
are members of this fraternity Dr.
Goddard, specialist on feeble-minded
ie and Rudolph Pintner, au
thority on form and test.
The Di Society held its regular
meeting Saturday night, and as this
I was the time for the annual intra
; society freshman debate the open
forum discussion of the cancellation
of the allied war debt was deferred
until the next meeting, and the de
bate took the time of the regular pro
gram. The business matters of the
society were disposed of before the
hall was thrown open for the de
bate. The query was, "Resolved, That
the Philippines should be granted
their independence within the next
five years." The affirmative was up
held by F. A. James and W. J. Cocke,
Jr., and the negative by W. H. Col
trane and T. R. Roland. The af
firmative won by unanimous vote of
the judges. --Iff
The principal arguments of both
sides hinged, as in the Mary D..
Wright debate of the same query,
about the question of whether or not
the Filipinos are capable of main
taining an efficient government.
The affirmative argued that the
United States was now under a moral
obligation to grant the Filipinos their
independence since" they had fulfilled
all her prerequisites for self-government,
and that the islands when
granted it could maintain an efficient
government since they were now on
1 firm economic basis, free from in
ternal broils and foreign aggression,
SCHEDULE NOT FINISHED

Students -Endorse Action of Athletic
Committee in Recent Contro
versy Over Johnson.
(Continued on Page Four.)
Whereas the athletic committee of
the faculty of the University of Vir
ginia has considered the contract to
play the scheduled game of football
with the University of North Caro
lina Thanksgiving day, 1921, broken,
and whereas their stand is based on
the application of an amendment to
the eligibility rules of the athletic
conference of Southern State Uni
versities purported to have been made
in 1916, but of which no evidence
has as yet reached the athletic au
thorities of the University of North
Carolina, therefore be it resolved by
the student body of the University
of North Carolina, in mass meeting
assembled, that:
1. We heartily endorse the action
of our faculty athletic committee in
holding Mr. W. I. Johnson eligible
under the existing rules to partici
pate in the football game with the
University of Virginia.
2. We heartily endorse the fac
ulty in its approval of the athletic
committee's stand.
3. We pledge our unswerving sup
port to Mr. W. I. Johnson, to our
coaches, and to the football team.
4. We deplore this act of the fac
ulty athletic committee of the Uni
versity of Virginia, realizing the re
grettable consequences which must
be borne by the two institutions that
have for so many years been engaged
in friendly rivalry in athletic con
tests.
6. We extend our sincere appre
ciation and gratitude to the football
team and the student body of the
University of Virginia for going on
record as being in favor of playing
the game regardless of the contro
versy, and we voice the hope that the
long-standing pleasant relations be
tween the two universities will be
resumed, and athletic contests continue.
6. A copy of these resolutions be
?ent the president of the University
of Virginia, the Virginia student
body, the press and the president of
the University of North Carolina.
