CAROLINA SMOKER TONIGHT. rmTTTT JJjUjJIj CAROLINA SMOKER TONIGHT. Vol. No. XXX. Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, February 24, 1922. No. 35 PLAYWIflKEHS AHEMPT GREAT UNDERTAKING IN SEI Madam Borgny Hammer and Com pany , Famous Scandinavian Player to Present Play. WILL BE HERE MARCH 6 The engagement of Madam Borgny Hammer, the great Norse actress, formerly of the National Theatre of Christiania, Norway, and Mr. Rolf Fjell, formerly of the Central Thea tre' of Christiania, by the Carolina Playmakers to appear here in "Me morial Hall on March 6, is the great est undertaking of any dramatic or ganization ever at the University. Madame Hammer received her training in the National Theatre of Norway, and the privilege of being taken into this training, which is a national institution, is the greatest honor that can come to a Norwegian in this field of work. When she left her country several years ago she was already well established there as an actress of national reputation. Since coming to America her new critics have compared her with Mary Garden, Mrs. Fiske, and Nazimova, while her native critics associated her name and acting abilities with those of such world figures as Elean ore Duse and Sarah Bernhardt. . Mr. Fjall, who plays the stellar role in "The Master Builder," Ibsen's play which is to be presented, is a9 well known in Norway for his sing ing as his acting. When he left his native country eight years ago he was considered by his countrymen as the greatest living Norwegian tenor. His success as an actor in America has been equally as well re ceived. Mr. Fjell appeared first with Madame Hammer at "the Central Theatre of Christiania several years ago and has been with her ever since except during the period when she acted at the National Theatre of Christiania. "The Master Builder" is? one of Ibsen's greatest plays, and the two famous players are to be assisted by a distinguished cast of American ac tors. The play will, of course, be given in English, and because of the reputation of the production and the principals the Playmakers have seen fit to utilize Memorial Hall for the performance. The capacity of the Play House is too small to accom modate the large audience which is expected to hear the play. Prices are to be cut as low as pos sible so that everyone can attend" the performance. The seats of Memorial Hall are to be arranged to give the best .advantage to the audience and price fixed according to their situ ation. It is a gigantic undertaking on the part of the University's dra matic organization, but the quality of the play and the cast was sufficient to warrant the venture. CONTEST NOTICE.

L FALLS SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS "Scurvy" Enough But Sadly Amiss ' in Many Phases Plays Up Wrong Men and Organizations. has Wow! The Yellow Journal thrust itself among us. It claims to be a "scurvy sheet," and falls not far short of its preten sions. It is scurvy, certainly, but it falls far short of our expectation of what such a Journal should be. Some of it is good, a lot of it merely pass able, and a great deal of it j just I downright rotten, but t-Ts greatest j flaw that we perceive is not in what's included, but in the glaring over sights and omissions which make the journal so very harrow, and lacking absolutely in perspective. The Playmakers got much more than their share of hard knocks, and Professor Green, if charged at the regular rate for advertisment, must be hopelessly insolvent. The fra ternity write-ups were good in spots, but showed a bitterness in one or two instances which smacked certain ly of personal animosity. The edi torials would have appeared well in a much less frivolous publication; in yle ( fact, there was a more or less dig- -l i tj:ii v:v. --I i J4. it.- -ru "";u vun-cu m mem uibi, was T WINS OUT OVER CHAPEL HILL HIGH Midget Quintet From Bull City Eliminates Chapel Hill Five By 40-17 Score Tuesday Night. Durham high school took ANNALIST CARRIES STORK BY PROF. MURCHISON University Faculty Man Writes About "The Latest Work on Price Maintenance." The "Annalist," one of he lea 1 ing magazines in the count -y on linanie, commerce, and e3nomies, carried an trticle in t!u February 13 issue, wutten by Professor T. Murchison of the school of commerce of the Vn versity. His subject. "The Latest work on Price Maintenance." Professor Murchison revise 1 the case of the Beechnut Packm Com pany with the Supreme Court and pointed ml the significant of the case. The 3 echnut Company had been fixing th re-sale prices of commo dities of all its mail order houses and having the ordinance strictly ob served by the reports o.f special ai;e,its, aid in view of the face that this practice suppressed competition among retail distributers, the Federal Trade Commission strongly protested against this act since it was a viola tion of the anti-trust lawn. The commission ordered that the Beech nut company "desist from directly or indirectly recommending, requiring, o by any means bringing about the Te-'fale of Beechnut products by dis tributers, whether at wholesale or re tail, according to any system of prices fixed or established by respondent, Beechnut company." and out of the championship race here Tuesday night to the tune of 40 to 17. The beautiful passing and accurate shooting of the Durham high team was about the best seen in these parts lately, barring no team, high school or college. Durham took the lead early in the game and never gave Chapel Hill a chance. Three field goals in succes sion, almost before the noise had died down from the first gave the Bull City team a more decisive lead. Near the close of the first half a spurt by Durham ran the score up to 23 to 11, and from that time on the game was on ice. The second half opened with Chapel Hill showing more stuff. Two long field goals by Wilson and Mc- Iver put speed in the team and for a few minutes they looked almost as good as Durham. The snappy pass ing of Durham came to the rescue at once and the score began to grad ually mount, for Durham. R. Hackney, Durham center, was the leading scorer from the court. He secured six field goals while Green and Kelly, Durham forwards, regis tered five each. Green also secured three fouls. For Chapel Hill, Wilson was easily the most consistent player in the game. He played hard from start to finish, handling the ball well, pass ing with speed, and guarding closely. Roberts and J. Mclver also played a good game at center and forward. The game was rough. At times it looked as if the little Durham for wards would be smothered, and one time a little iellow went in between two of the Chapel Hill giants and came out on h'.s neck. He recovered quickly and kept on playing a good game. Line-up and summary: Chapel Hill Position Durham Cole Green Right Forward Roberts Kelly Lett Forward Mclver, J. '..Hackney, R.

Time of halves, 20 minutes. not strictly in color with the rest of the sheet. The very fact however that none of the orders, either Junior or Soph omore social, or Senior honorary, were even mentioned constitutes the moat glaring blunder possible in such a publication. Many men, dominant factors in campus social and political life, were absolutely ignored while, others relatively unimportant and un known figured prominently in the columns. We note that the next issue will be out in May. No doubt there will be sufficient time for the board of editors, which after all isn't such a sphinx-like assembly as they would have it appear, to profit by past mis takes and gather enough real stuff to put out a real "Scurvy Sheet."

Arranged by- All Members of Various Church Or ganizations Are Urged to Be Present. The second union meeting of the City Union will be held in the Episco pal Church on Sunday night at 7:30 o'clock under the auspices of f St. Hilda's Guild and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of that Church. The City Union is an organization composed of all the young peoples societies of the different churches on the Hill. It was organized last fall, and held its first meeting at the Christian church, and later a social at the Presbyterian church. Following the same plan this quar ter the meeting will he held as stated above with the following program: Evening service conducted by An drew D. Milstead of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew: "Ideals of the Union," by James A. Bradley, of the Chris tian Endeavor, president of the City Union; minutes, by Miss Alma Hol land of St. Hilda's Guild, secretary of the City Union; talks on the work of their organizations by Miss Mary Yellott of St. Hilda's Guild and Wil liam A.

' The elections committee of the campus cabinet is making a detailed study of systems in vogue at other institutions, according to a report submitted by Mr. Comer at the reg ular meeting of the cabinet Monday night. .The committee will have com pleted its investigations and be ready to make some very definite sugges tions at the next fortnightly meet ing, said Mr. Comer. It is the opinion of members of 'the cabinet that the present hap hazard method of conducting elec tions will fall down entirely under conditions brought about by an en larged student body and a propor tionately increased number of acti vities. The committee was apoint ed for the purpose of studying this situation at Carolina and other large institutions where student govern ment is in force, with a view to working out an effective plan that would prove satisfactory. Investigation so far has shown that in ; most of the larger universities elections of officers for the various activities are pooled, all taking place oA a fixed, well-advertised election day, in many cases a holiday or half holiday being granted for the occa sion. At some institutions primar ies are held before the regular elec tion in order to eliminate some of the candidates and thus shorten the ballot. The committee believes that any system to be satisfactory must insure a maximum percentage of students voting intellingently, as well as an like! What material for a sermon on modern youth !

With a great display of finery knit silken hosiery and dainty feminine characteristics , five fair damsels appeared sudden ly upan the campus Monday aft noon apparently from some un known source and threw cno oc cupant of all tne dormaorles into a fit of intoxication. The ambitious studes of Sov.th, Old West, Old East, Carr, and all the rest of them were trying to while away the balmy afternoon by studying in spite of the call of spring, the beautiful sunshine and the singing birds. But it was not so to be. The pretty chickens were seen coming from between Old West and Gerrard by . a loud-mouthed Freshman who gave the alarm. Five of them there were, and five daintier pieces of Eve's flesh could not have been found. Heads were forthcoming from many windows, dofeu and jani tors stared at the new Eden on Carolina's campus, and fro: a top-most window of South build ing some of the campus' most famous celebrities saw more than they had ever dreamed of gazing upon.

MINUTES CREATING MUCH INTEREST Keen Competition Among Schools in Both East and West One-Half Teams Eliminated. The latest and most successful dime-catcher to appear in the Uni versity town is here in the form of the variously termed "Polar Boar Bars," and "Eskimo Pie." Casual inquiry at the five local concerns which have this delicacy for sale in dicates that between a hundred and fifty and two hundred dozen bars of the chocolate coated ice cream are being sold daily that is around two thousand. The invention of the Chicago dairyman certainly seems to tickle the palate of the Carolina man, as the figures show that every man is having his every-day and quite a good number are going back for the sec ond helping. It is said that the inventor of the new confection was a poor man an ordinary laborer in a dairy plant sixty days ago, and that he has pros pects of millions from his patent? covering the process whereby the ice cream is coated with chocolate. Re ports has it that more than a mil lion and a half of the bars are being sold daily, in which case the inven tor's royalty of five cents on the dozen, runs into quite impressive figures.

Each fraternity bid ding for the honor is - playing off a schedule arranged by the "13" and up .to theV present time Delta Tau Delata and Sigma Alpha Epleson are leading. The S. A.

Over half of the teams that entered have been eliminated by now, and the competition keen at the first of the season, is steadily on the increase. Chapel Hill, winner of the state championship for last year was easily eliminated last Tuesday night by Durham, high- school. .. This school, however, is not by itself in not hav ing as good a team as it did last year, and numerous examples of it are seen cropping up. The final contest for the state championship will be played here on the gym floor about March 10th. The champion of the East will meet the champion of the West and to the winner a silver cup for permanent possession will be offered. Since the establishment of the inter-high school contests by the bu reau of extension in the University, the following teams have won the state championship: 1915, Winston Salem from Raleigh; 1916, Durham from Winston-Salem; 1917, Winston Salem from Durham; 1918, Durham from Winston-Salem; 1919, Winston Salem from Wilmington; 1920, Wil- Virginia defeated Carolina, 31 to 29, on the Virginia court Monday night in the first game between , the colleges this season and the third game of the northern trip. The Vir ginia game was the second defeat of the season and the second defeat on the northern trip. Virginia won by a lonesome two points, securing them in an extra five minute session when the game ended with the score tied. Carrington, Virginia forward,' was responsible for the two points that defeated Carolina, and with Opple man, was the best man on the Vir ginia team. Cart Carmichael and McDonald led the Carolina offensive that came so near to victory only to lose in the extra period. The floor work of McDonald was an outstanding feature of the game. Green was one of the principal scor ers of the game, and with Perry played brilliant basketball. Billy Carmichael bore the brunt of the Vir ginia offensive and played Carolina's best defensive game. The Virginia game was the third on the northern trip. After meet ing the Army at West Point the team will go to Atlanta for the Southern Intercollegiate Tournament which will decide the southern champion ship. The Tar Heeb, urlless some of the men are out on injuries, will have I more than a good chance for the blue ribbon in the southern meet. Judg ing from the record of the Trinity team through the south, Carolina has as strong a team a9 any. The tour nament will be an elimination af fair, and if Carolina draws a good card for the. first game they will be strong contenders at the finish.' mington from Charlotte; Chapel Hill from Charlotte. 1921, PRAISES A LOCAL EDIFICE Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church De scribed in Issue of "Architec ture," Leading Magazine.
