C. 41 "Y" 18 Carolina opened the basketball sea son Saturday night, going down in defeat before the strong Durham Y. M. C. A. team by the score of 41 to 18 oh the Durham Y. M. C. A. floor. Carolina showed nothing brilliant during the course of the game, while the entire Y. M. C. A. team played with a snap from the time the first whistle blowed until the end of the i game. j Coach Steiner of Trinity, a former basketball star, officiated and while' he was as fair as it is possible to be, nothing in the way of a foul was ( overlooked, and the majority of the time Durham wasn't scoring field j goals was taken up with Carmichael and Mangum trying to shoot fouls, j There has been considerable agi- tation among collegiate circles during ' the past two or three years to make the Southern game of basketball like the Northern game, namely, purely a passing game, fouling for personal contact. Saturday night's exhibition ! was a demonstration that such a pro- j ceedure would be a rank failure if j brought on too suddenly in the South, i The element of roughness, in the game lends, if anything, more in terest to the game, and if it is made entirely a passing game, as Coach Steiner would have had it, it would have been even worse than it was from a spectators standpoint, and it was about as bad -as it could have been. Carolina failed to produce any stars, both the Carmichaels were off color, either from lack of practice, or from playing in positions foreign to them. The work of Graham, play ing guard during the last period, was outstanding.. He had the hardest man on the floor to take care of and was in most every play Carolina made, as well as horning in on the passing game of the Y. M. C. A. Lineberger and Green, both new men, showed up well in their initial workout with McDonald and the Car michael brothers, and both played as good basketball as. any member of the squard. Carolina took ten men over to Durham, and all ten of them took part in the game, and had there been any more present in uniform they would probably have played, as the scorekeeper was plainly evident when a man was disqualified.

Ranson, P, Ranson, for Carolina, and Cabe of Trinity followed, with Scholz of Elon coming in last. Nine men, three from each school, entered the run. The route followed was around the track, by President Chase's house, and down Main street to Carrboro. From there they ran back and around Emerson Field for the final lap. The course was three miles. The schools represented agreed before the run that in case of a tie, the one having a man to come in last would for feit the place. In this case Elon's man, Scholz, came in last, giving second place to Trinity. Each team had 18 points. The team scoring the least number of points was to be de clared winner. First place counted one point, ninth place, 9 points. Fetzer To Coach Track The track team this year will be coached by Bob Fetzer, who is an experienced man in tins 'vork.

TO A SMALL AUDIENCE Only Few Take Advantage of Hear ing Celebrity in Gerrard Hall. Relate Experiences. ENTERTAINING SPEAKER SH1E DEPARTMENT Insurance Inspector Discovers Large - Number Crude Electric Heaters Which Are Confiscated. The only disappointing feature cf the Marcosson lecture ir. Gerrard hall Thursday night was the size of the audience which turned out to hear the noted journalist. Less than two hundred students and townspeople . took advantage of the opportunity to share the experiences of a man who has, in his own phraseology, "seen kings in their shirt-sleeves, field-mar- ! shals in their B. V. D.'s, and presi- j dents in their pajamas." I A lecturer of unusual smoothness and charm,, a word artist of marked ability, Mr. Marcosson held his tiny audience while he showed them inti mate glimpses of modern world-fa-' mous figures. Marshal Foch, Clemen ceau, Lloyd George, General Smuts, and Hugo Stinnes were the chief per sonalities treated in the lecture, which was apparently a small but very in teresting cross-section of the inter viewer's everyday experience. By way of introduction, Mr. Mar cosson spoke a few words of praise for Walter H. Page, the publisher who first "discovered" him, and who is a native of North Ccr Jma. From his experience in interview ing the great and the near-great, the speaker declared that he had found that the greater the man, the sim pler the task of interviewing him. He said that his profession, though a very strenuous one, was the most fas cinating in the world. He boasted of having interviewed every important personage in Europe and America ex cept God and the kaiser, adding that he never expected to find them both 1 in the same place. The latter part of the lecture was devoted to the discussion of the gen FAYETTEVILLE WINS HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP HERE SATURDAY BY DEFEATING WINSTON-SALEM TEAM Reprenentatives From Various Or ganizations Meet and Straighten Out Program For Fall Quarter. BRADSHAW IS CHAIRMAN (Continued on Page Two.) T APPEAL FOR S. F. Mr. Comer Discusses Cause of Needy Students in Europe Asks for Money Contributions. Secretary Comer of the "Y" spoke on the "Student Friendship Fund" in chapel Friday morning, presenting the ccuse of the needy 250,000 stu ' dents in the universities of central Furope. He stated that the average central European student has only the equivalent of twelve cents a day ior all expenses, and that this scarce ly provides room and one scan'; tr.fal. Secretary Comer declared it our turn to help these destitute students' that now fill 120 universities in Eu rope. Dynamite all the buildings here and destroy all the dormitory life, and even then, you have a bad con ception of the university lif e in cen tral Europe today. He described the conditions there by saying that ons sees men with one leg in school try ing to survive, and gome students With no legs. The governments are all practically bankrupt and without enough money at present to relieve this horrible condition that we, the American students, must face square ly and cheerfully. , "They are calling for our friend ship and we owe them the brother hood of friendship," said Mr. Comer. "We must act with the European stu dents in a spirit of charity and loy alty at this critical crisis. We will appreciate deeply , whatever you can spare in the way of old clothes that you are going to discard," declared Secretary Comer. He added that Jim Phipps, presi dent of the campus cabinet, had been As a result of the recent burning of the . inn, , the., wiring system of Smith, Carr and Steele dormitories was inspected by N. E.

It was discovered that in eral " state of European civilization j ee ; The newly organized "All-University Program Committee" met in the president's office Saturday at 4:30, in accordance with the motion passed at the previous meeting. The follow ing organizations were represented: Music Department, Satyrs, Debate Council, School of Commerce, EHsha Mitchell Scientific Society, U. N. C. Women's Association, and the Y. M. C A. Francis Bradshaw, dean of stu dents, was elected ex-officio chairman, and Claude Currie, secretary to Presi dent Chase, was elected secretary. The object of the committee was de fined: "To endeavor to present to the campus a logical and co-ordinated program of all University attractions and to prevent as far as possible all conflicts and near conflicts." The practical value of this was ex emplified when each representative had presented the schedule of his particular organization and several probable conflicts were revealed. For example, March 3rd and 4th had been chosen by the Playmakers for their winter series of folk plays, and the annual triangular intercollegiate de bate with Washington and Lee and John's Hopkins University was sched uled for the same date. Pavlowa and the Russian Ballot is to show in Raleigh on the 4th, and there is a possibility that the Carolina-Virginia basketball game is to be played the same night, which is a fairly active week-end. This tangle of programs was brought to light by the existence of the committee which is now work ing to clear the way for one activity. This is only one instance of many to show the necessity of this com- FLEECE T Bailey Liipfert and Jim Kerr Discuss Two Honorary Fraternities in Chapel Thursday.

He deplored the fact that it is the unknown soldiers who have number of lights was being used. One room was found with- eight lights. In another room a 300-watt lamp was discovered. It was brought to light that very few students realize that the use of water heaters and other electrical ap pliances is illegal. The state law in regard to this reads: "In order that the life and property of the citizens in the state of North Carolina may be protected from dangers incident to defective electric wiring of buildings, and to assure the proper installations of electric wiring of buildings and apparatus in the state of North Car olina, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to installs any new electrical apparatus or wir ing, or to add to or repair any elec trical apparatus or wiring already in stalled, without first obtaining a writ ten permit. Any person, firm, or cor poration failing to comply with the above shall be guilty of a misde meanor." Mr. Birch of the supply office stated that extra expense to the Uni versity caused by the illegal use of water heaters and other devices can not be estimated. Each building is wired for a certain amount of current and when any new electrical appa ratus is installed, it results in the burning out of fuses. When this has occurred, the students have often in serted coppers in the sockets which makes a direct contact, and which is not only apt to burn out the meter but also liable to cause fire. Last week two $58 meters were burned out in Smith and Carr, and the current used in the latter build ing alone during the past month amounted to $250. reaped the whirlwind of the war, and of the peace, in neglect and unem ployment.

Lankford) Chapel Hill and the University has Been an unusual amount of dramatic activity during the fall quarter through the instrumentality of the Carolina Playmakers and their direc tor. This organization has present ed, or had presented three series of performances for a total production of three full three-act plays and five one-act plays, three of the latter be ing original Carolina Folk-Plays written by students in the course in Dramatic Composition. Besides the actual dramatic per formances Professor Koch has .de livered two public lectures in Gerrard Hall, one of them an illustrated lec ture on Folk-Playmaking, and the other a combined lecture and read ing on the Comedy in Shakespeare before the Sophomore classes in Eng lish. He has also made several trips to various dramatic organizations throughout the state and south, in cluding a lecture tour to South Caro lina where he spoke to students and errors, millions of chances for. trans positions, he Vill not be too critical.

These plays were George Bernard Shaw's "How He. Lied to Her Husband," a comedy, and "Suppress ed Desires" by Susan Glaspell and George Cram Cook. These per formances met with astounding suc cess for they were brilliant plays, well acted by the best talent to be found in the Playmakers. On November 18th and 19th Frank McEntee brought The Shakespeare Playhouse Company from New York and presented three plays at the Play House. These performances were as follows: "Candida," a comedy, by George Bernard Shaw on Friday evening; "A Doll's House," a problem play , by Henrik Ibsen on Saturday, afternoon; and "Beyond (Continued on Page Four.) Cotinuing the presentation of or ganizations on the campus, Ampho terothen and Golden Fleece were ex plained to students in chapel Thurs day by Jim Kerr and Bailey Liip fert. Jim Kerr, Amphoterothen, traced the progress of the order from its very first meeting in 1912 when it met as a local with four charter members, and related minutely how it was established in the University. Membership, he stated was limited to juniors and seniors. He declared the purpose of the organization to be the study of citizenship and public life in its broadest and most significant conception. He said: "It is to cul tivate the ability of extemporaneous debating, and as a part of the human raee it has a purpose to fulfill." Kerr also made known the fact that i they have under consideration the plan to build a modern and up-to- I date buildtng for Amphoterothen, I which will help to carry on the work even more successfully than it has i been in the past. I Bailey Liipfert, Golden Fleece, told I of the birth and existence of the I one organization that has done so j much to create a warm and cordial feeling and relationship between the j fraternity men and the non-fraternity , men than any other organization on , the campus. Liipfert drew a vivid picture of the relation existing here years ago, when the University was young and had only two hundred stu dents' enrolled: " """" " " Y "There was fighting here and fight ing there," said Liipfert, "and one man was jealous of the honor and distinction another man won for him self." But Golden Fleece came in and had as its purpose the bringing together of the leading men on the campus in every phase of University life, the very best man in each par ticular field of endeavor. Therefore! each jear Golden Fleece picks the leading men from all phases and this collection of outstanding figures on the campus make up the membership of the honorary fraternity. Liipfert told the students that Car olina was a place where they could grow und expand into the type of man that Golden Fleece would seek out. And Golden Fleece, he said, "wants you to give up a little of your honor for the honor of the University." Teams About Evenly Matched Fay etteville Holds Under Own Goal Posts Score Result of Break. JACKSONVILLE TAR HEELS GIVE CLPTO 1921 TEAM Large Silver Loving Cup Given to Team by Jacksonville Tar Heels When in Florida. By defeating the University of Florida, the Carolina team not only won its first post-season game, and gained recognition of its ability to win throughout the South, but re ceived a beautiful cup from the Jack sonville Tar Heels. The cup is large and very imposing. The following is engraved on the cup: "Presented to U. N. C. Foot ball Team From Jacksonville Tar Heels, 1921." This is the first time in many years that such a cup has been presented to the football team, or any other branch of athletics. By a unanimous vote the team ex pressed its thanks for the cup. It was presented for permanent posses sion and will be placed in one of the buildings of the University. It will doubtlessly be put in the library among other cups won by University athletes. GERMANY GAINING A HOLD ON THE ITALIAN MARKET Rome. A striking illustration of the way in which Germany is re taining her hold on the Italian mar ket is furnished by figures just pub lished which give the number of films imported here. In 1920 a total of 130 foreign films entered Italy, sixty seven coming from the United States, forty-four from Germany, twelve from France and seven from other countries. In the first ten months of 1921 the number of foreign films had risen 'to 481. (By S. B. Midyette.) Defeating Winston-Salem by a score of 7 to 0 on Emerson Field here Saturday, Fayetteville repre senting the east, won the state high school championship in one of the hardest fought games seen here this year. About 2,500 enthusiastic peo ple witnessed the game. The scor ing came in the latter part of the third period when McRae recovered a fumble made by Caldwell back of his own goal line. Winston's best ' chance to score came in the first of ' the third quarter when in three mighty smashes they carried the ball 50 yards down the field, placing ft on Fayetteville's 10 yard line. The alertness of the Scotch line, and the ability to down men for lossses, pre vented a score and the ball went over on downs. The crowd that witnesses the ex hibition was unusually large for a high school game. Fayetteville had the largest number of supporters, her side of the stands being prac tically full. During the period en suing between halves, the Winston Salem girls took the field in the form of a snake dance. Both teams played hard, scrapping football, and the game was a close and hard fought one throughout.' But for. the folly of the Winston-Salem quarterback in failing to punt from behind his own goal line, the game would have doubtlessly gone into five periods. Throughout the contest looked as though it might go either way. The two teams resorted to forward" passes and end runs frequently. Win ston was more successful in her aerial attack. Fayetteville, on the other hand, did well, via the end run route. The passing of the game for the Winston Salem team was from Wilson to Sapp. Sapp as a ground gainer did good work. The Winston team relied chif ly on Caldwell for gains, while Hall (Continued from Page Three.)
