Carolina defeated V. M. I. in the
rst game of the northern trip at
exington, Friday , night,, taking the
irger end of a 31 to 26 score. The
ame throughout was toughly con
ssted and featured by excellent team
ork, both on the part of the Tar
eels and the Cadets. The Carolina
Tensive, the best seen in Lexington
lis season, according to the Rich
iond Times Dispatch correspondent
tere, was the main factor in the vic
ry for the Tar Heels.
The V. M. I. team displayed ex
;llent team work but was off shoot
Lg. Captain Bunting, of the V. M.
team was absent from the game,
nd Campbell their fast forward wa3
rced from the game near the end
f the second half. Carolina took
le lead early but scoring four points
efore Campbell registered a field
oal. From that time until the end
f the game it was a stady grind for
oth teams, Carolina maintaining her
sad with two exceptions.
Near the end of the first half the
:ore was tied, 15 to 15, but a foul
oal gave Carolina a 16 to 15 lead
efore the half was up. Earlier in
le half the score had been 10 to 10
ith both teams playing a strong de
snsive game.
Green and Billy Carmichael led in
le scoring for Carolina, securing
iree field goals each. McDonald se
ared two field goals and C. Car
jichael, playing the leading floor
ame of the night, secured. two field
oals as well.
From start to finish the game was
iteresting and enthusiasm was kept
t a high pitch throughout by sen
itional bits of dribbling on the part
f both teams, and beautiful passing
a the part of Carolina. The passing
ame played by the Tar Heels was
ie finest they have exhibited this

ALL CAMS JANITORS
Some Humorous Scenes Occur When
the Fifteen Darkies Go Through
the Ordeal Took Persuasion.
As a result of the small pox scare,
15 husky janitors were vaccinated
by Dr. Nathan state health officer,
Thursday afternoon in the basement
of Alumni building, only after they
were finally convinced that the vac
cination wa3 absolutely necessary for
their own safety as well as for the
safety of others. The broom-weild-ers
were none too anxious to have
their tanned skin pricked by the
needle, and it took an oily flow of
talk from Dr. Nathan, Mr. Birch,
and Mr. Pickard to finally line them
up for the operation. . . ,
A humorous ' scene was offered
when Dr. Nathan, who weighs all of
300 pounds, and whose professional
aspect was none too consoling to the
black cloud, took off his coat, laid out
the necessary materials, and called
for the first victim. The janitors
wanted to roll the bones to decide
who would be first, but one especially
black boy sprang a surprise when he
volunteered first, and baring his
dusky arm, walked up unsteadily,
roling his damp eyes Heavenward as
if seeking guidance.
When Dr. Nathan applied the
needle to the squirming darky, the
other janitors seemed to enjoy the
fruitless efforts of the victim to keep
a stolid countenance, and he became
the target for several bits of African
humor: "Sam, Yo lookin' pale, sho
nuff," "Is dai a earthquake or Sam's
knees knockin'?" "Would a glass
a' mule he'p, Sam?" "Looka dot boy
jump! he'll bump his haid on the
ceilin', directly." But when Sam's
amused audience were called up one
by one, they suddenly became seri
ous and went through the same con
vulsive shivers, shimmyings, eye roll
ing, as did Sam.
All the jan,ors had a tendency to
pull down their shirt sleeves over the J
scar immediately, but when Dr. Nsth

get on their sleeves and would vac-(

michael was out of the game part of
the time on account of his bad knee.
During his stay in the game he was
the outstanding man on the Caro
lina team and the best man on the
court.
During the first half Washington
and Lee practically put the game on
ice, the Carolina team being badly
off in shooting, securing pnly two
field goals. The two Washington and
Lee guards were exceptionally good
and held down the Tar Heel shot
throughout the game.
At the end of the first period, the
score stood 13 to 9 in favor of the
Generals. From the start of the sec
ond half Washington and Lee played
rings around the visitors and ran up
the score by a series of beautiful
shots -from the floor by Lake, Hines
and Glenn. Although North Carolina
battled gamely W. and L. worked
in perfect unison from almost every
tip off and succeeded in penetrating
the visitors' defense from the middle
of the floor.
Lake scored twenty of Washington
and Lees' points while Glenn . and

he McLean Is Chosen Best
Round Man In Annual Senior Vote
Results of Other Places Named Members of Class Who Had
Not Paid Dues Were Ineligible to Vote or Fill Any of
the Places Some Interesting Features.
' (By S. L. Apple.)
At a late hour Wednesday even
ig, the Senior ballot for some of
ie most representative men in the
lass came to a close.1 The ballot
oxes were placed in the "Y" two
eeks ago in which votes were cast
ir the election which was to come
) an end February 15. The fact
lat voting eligibility was determined
pon, whether or not the Senior class
ses had been paid, caused many pros
ective candidates to come across
ith their "dues, thereby making it
ossible for the class to have an
ther smoker in the near future with
ut making individual charges.
Joe McLean was chosen for the
est all-round with Marion Nash run
ing close second. Jim Phipps oc
upied a very conspicuous position
i third place. By jjrtue of being
resident of the Phi Beta Kappa or
ganization here, M. E. Lake had prac
tically no opposition for the best stu
dent. The fact that he had made
only one "2" during his en ma col
lege course also had a bear5 on ia
vote. Ed Sweetman had a hard race
against Marion Nash and Jim Phipps
for the most popular, but was elected
by a safe majority. Willie Horner
and C. J. Williams were the only ones
receiving votes for the most ener
getic. "C. J.," won out by a fairly
wide majority.
O. M. Abernethy won out for the
bo3t athlete over Cannon Murchison
and Jacobi. "Ab's" thirty yard drive
through the Virginia line in his Soph
omore year has probably never been
forgotten. "Ty" Porter and Willie
Horner had some opposition from
Charlie Parker for the best writer.
Porter received a fairly wide raa-

The Debate Council has announc
ed that the preliminary to select Car
olina's representative in the Southern
oratorical contest will be held on
March 27. Any undergraduate stu
dent who is a member of either of
the two literary societies is eligible
for this contest.
Speeches may not exceed twenty
minutes in length, and must deal
with Dolitical. social or economic
problems of current Interest, lf
speaker may use quotations without
making it clear that he is quoting
and the entire amount of quoted mat
ter may not exceed 200 words. Every
contestant will be required to sub
mit to Professor McKie a written
statement of the subject he propose?
to use.
Besides the University, the six
other members of the Southern ora
torical league are Venderbilt, Ala
bama, Georgia, Virginia, Kentucky
and Johns Hopkins. The final con
test, to which each of these univer
sities will send one representative,
will be held in Nashville, Tenn., on
April 8.
Sparrow's restaurant has changed
hands, a company of Greeks from
Durham having purchased the stand.
The Greeks took charge of the
place Monday morning, and plan to
make a number of changes at once.
Mr. Sparrow hasn't announced any
plans for the future.
The preliminary indoor track meet
held Friday night, with over 50 men
competing and witnessed by a good
number of spectators, was won by
the Freshmen, who rolled up 18
points. The Sophomores followed
second with 11 points. This contest
being the first of its kind held here,
marks a new era in the advancement
of track at 'Carolina, and it is gen
erally thought that the success which
attended it will cause more men to
both go out for the team and to come
out to see the meets. The interest
of the spectators never lagged from
the start to the finish. Yarborough,
with 8 points, was the highest scorer.
Competition for places in the four
events 20 yard dash, 20 yard hur
dles, standing broad jump, and run
ning jump was extremely sharp,
and ties for places resulted frequent
ly. In case of a tie both of the
men were allowed to run in the semi
finals. Among those taking away
honors were a large number of men
who up to this time were practically
unknown in local track circles.
All of the events were carried
through with a snap and on account
of this, despite the large number of
entries, and the big number of heats
that had to be run in each contest,
the meet was finished in a two hour
period. '
With the large amount of new ma
terial uncovered in the preliminary
'meet, Carolina's chances for win
ning the state inter-track meet are
good. Especially keen competition
should develop among the dash men.
Doyle, a Sophomore, ran in good
form in the meet, and promises to
furnish good opposition to both
Woodard and Sinclair.' Woodard ran
in the dashes in the meet, but be
cause of an operation performed for
appendicitis, a few weeks back, he
was not in very good shape. The
track team has a little less than three
weeks before the state clash, and
Bob Fetzer is losing no time in get
ting his team in the pink of perfec
tion.

DICK HADLEY.
"Dick" Hadley was a member
of the sophomore class, but en
tered the University last East
er, after having previously at
tended Trinity college. He was
a bright and clever youth, well
known on the campus, with a
large number of very close
friends. Small in stature, al
ways pleasant and agreeable
toward his friends. He always
paid especial attention to his
appearance, and dressed neatly
and pleasingly. "Dick" will be
missed from the campus, and
Carolina extends her most sin
cere sympathy towards his rel
atives, and joins them in
mourning the loss of the young
man.
POP PEOPLES.
"Pop" Peoples came to Car
olina last fall, after having
graduated at North Carolina
State college. He had a great
number of friends here when
he arrived, having made their
acquaintance while he was in
school at Raleigh. "Pop" was
more than a boy; he was a man.
He was tall and rather hand
some, and was just at the age
at which he was thinking seri
ously of beginning life. He was
taking commerce at the Uni
versity, and was really a grad
uate student. He was well
known, especially among the
older students, and exceedingly
popular. He was a member of
the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity,
to which organization he was
'greatly devoted. The sym
pathy of the campus goes to
the family of this fine young
man during their hour of sorrow.

KOCH REQUESTED TO CI
CHARLIE ICEMAN.
University of Michigan to Build
$400,000 Theater and Want
Suggestions by Tar Heel.
In a recent letter from J. Raleigh
Nelson, chairman of the faculty com
mittee on the theatre in the Univer
sity of Michigan, to Professor Fred
erick H. Koch, a request came to
the Carolina professor for sugges
tions in regard to a $400,000 theatre
to be erected there. Dr. J. H. Han
ford, who was here last year, and
who did distinguished work in the
English department for several years,
has also written to Professor Koch
requesting him to try and make ar
rangements to visit the northe... uni
versity and lecture on foiK p.aymak
ing and the community theatre.
As set forth in the daily newspaper
published by the University of Michi
gan its purpose is to have "A real
University theatre, containing with
in its walls facilities for all campus
productions, large and small, and
giving Michigan a commanding posi
tion in educational dramatic work
among all the universities through-j
out the country." The committee has i
been at work on the plans for the I
building for over two years.
Professor Koch says that this will
be the largest and most expensive
theatre of its kind in America, and
he is very anxious to aid the Michi-!
gan authorities in their work if it is1
possible for him to do so. He has !
been engaged in work of the kind ;
for many years, and it was because j
of his long experience in dramatic,
activities in American universities !
F. P. BRYAN.
George Peoples, Dick Hadley
and Charles Iceman Vic
tims of Tragedy.
TWO NOT SERIOUSLY HURT
University Community Shocked Over
Sad Affair Boys Were Well
Known and Popular.
"Charlie" Iceman was also a
member of the Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity, and was a sopho
more in the University.
"Charlie" was the youngest of
the three victims of the trag
edy, which makes his death
even sadder. His two years at
Carolina had given him a wide
range of friends, and he was,
perhaps, the best known of the
three boys, having been here
longer. "Charlie" was a typical
youth. He was very fond of
dancing, and always received
unusual amount of pleasure
from dances. Carolina loses in
Charlie one of her brightest
sons, and the college and stu
dents grieve with the relatives
of the boys over his death, so
young as he was with his life
apparently before him.
F. P. Bryan, the taxi driver,
was not so well known among
the students, he having been
here for only a short while. He
was better known in the vil
lage, however, 'and was greatly
liked by his competitors. The
concensus of opinion is that
it was not due to his careless
ness that the collision resulted,
and it is believed that he will
not be blamed for the tragedy.
Three University students and a
local taxi driver are dead, and two
other students are in Watts hospital
at Durham with minor injuries, as a
result of the fearful tragedy that has
! shocked not only the Chapel Hill
community but the state at large.
. The scene of the collision between
the automobile in which the boys
were returning from the Fancy
Dress dance at State college in Ra
leigh, and the shifting engine of the
Southern railway, was at the inter
section of the Raleigh road and the
Oxford branch, near the Virginia
Carolina chemical plant, about one
mile east of Durham. The death
crash occurred at 3:30 o'clock Friday
morning.

None of the men that died were
conscious after the wreck, and Peo
ples, Hadley and the driver met
death instantly. Iceman was taken
to Watts hospital badly bruised and
mangled, and upon examination the
authorities announced that his condi
tion was practically hopeless. He
died shortly after noon the same day.
Relatives of all those dead were com
municated with and arrived in Dur
ham some time Friday and arranged
with friends of the boys from Caro
lina, to have their remains shipped
to their respective homes for inter
ment. Funeral services were heid for
each of the victims of the sad event

A bulletin on the water power situ

Thorndike Saville, hydraulic engineer
of the water resources division of
the North Carolina Geological and
Economic survey, has just been Is

Greensboro last week as guest of the
Greensboro Y. The University asso
ciation was represented by G. H
Leonard, . '23, II. D. Duls, '24, and
Secretary H. F. Comer. At a meeting
held Tuesday morry'ng in the O'Henry
Hotel, the annual report of the state
committee for the year 1921 was pre
sented, which showed an increase of
two student associations in the state
during the year. Of the student as
sociations the report says, in part:
"The field for student work con
sist.!, as last year, of nine colleges
and six preparatory schools. On ac
count of the vacancy in the state stu
dent secretaryship, the work has been
divided between the boy3 work sec
retary and a special student secre
tary. The student associations at the
University of North Carolina, North
Carolina State College and Davidson
College have general secretaries."
The report further discusses tht.
voluntary group Bible study, ' Stu
dent Volunteer band, deputation or
"Gospel teams" and many other
phases of the student association ac
