FRANK COXE ELECTED TO In the finals of the high school basketball championship tournament here Saturday night, Greensboro; high school decisively defeated Dur ham high school and carried the state honors to the west again. The game was hard fought and close through out, but superior shooting from the floor by Daniel and Britton resulted in the 28 to 20 score. '; The Bynum gymnasium was pack ed with people here from Durham and Greensboro to see the game, and a large portion of the student body saw Greensboro win. Enthusiasm ran high throughout the contest, and was wild when Durham threatened to overcome the Greensboro lead early in the second half. Durham Passes Well.

Cii T University Student, President of Y. M. C. A., is Heard By Large Congregation. "Show thyself a true worker of God," was the text of Claude J. Williams, president of the Univer sity Y. M. C. A., in a sermon at the Baptist church Sunday evening. Whether for morbid curiosity to hear a ministerial student preach his first sermon, or whether out of respect for the hardest working boy on the campus and the most active church worker in town, an unusu ally large crowd of students and townspeople, attended the services. The congregation's appreciation was shown by their close attentiveness and by their congratulations at the close of services. Warm congratu lations were extended to him es pecially by his brother and sister class-mates who flocked to hear him. . "The every-day things of life are what I intend to bring to the peo ple," he said at the beginning of his talk. He substantiated this view of religion by giving an account of Christ's life on earth. He further explained that the most detrimental thing to success in this is to be dom inated by a melancholic spirit: This characteristic caused many a preach er to lose his effectiveness. "The criterion of success in any phase of life is doing one's work well," he further added. He ex plained this by some personal ref erences and an allusion to a mem ber of the English parliament who was at one time a blootblacker. By practicing this one can have a mark ed influence on those around him, he added to this point "There is nothing that one can not do honestly and come out on top at the end. One is often influenced by the eviljs of society and by some intmiate friend to do something that will be a temporary pleasure or gain, but finally it will be a loss. He praised this merit in Abraham Lincoln and pointed him out as an exemplary type of honesty." The congregation can say that "C J." "practices what he preaches" ends the practice will start in full swing and continue until the excel lent schedule prepared by Manager Downing and Mr. Wollen is played off. - The schedule for the freshman as it now stands is as follows: Closed, Oak Ridge at Chapel Hill.

"The Prospector," the latest ar rival in the publication's field at the University, will go on sale at Foister's about the middle of the week. This is the official organ of Professor Hibbard's class in Eng lish 21, and has been gotten up by members of the class with an eye to artistic as well as literary effect. The make-up of the publication is patterned after "Theatre Arts Mag azine," with four full pages of il lustrations and 30 pages of reading contents consisting mostly of essays, sketches and poetry. Most of the , contributions are by members of the class, but the magazine will also contain a poem, "The .Aftermath," j by DuBose Heyard and another en titled "Sail's Gap,", by the popular ( North Carolina poet, Mrs. Dargan. Hibbard's Injecting art unusual brand . of acting into well written plays the Carolina Playmakers achieved Fri day and Saturday nights what may easily be said to be' the greatest success of their career. Of course as with almost every first perform ance, there were many rough spots in the plays, which however will doubtless be smoothed over in the course of time. They are indeed a series of plays which are certain to be most . generously received throughout the state. The performances started with "The Lord's Will," a tragedy of mis guided religious zeal, by Paul Greene, reaching in spots the ut most hegihts of emotional intensity which were carried through by Miss Catherine Batts with so much force of feeling that, hard-hearted and cynical as we critics sometimes af fect to be, we were gripped ani thrilled by the genuine realism of the thing and came back to earth at the drop of the curtain to find ourselves clenching the sides of our seats and gaping, open mouthed. The first part of this play was rather weak in comparison with the rest and would bear some changing unless the Playmakers wish, with Poe, to have the rythm of the play rise steadily with its progress until it reaches a crashing cresendo of dramatic culmination at the very end. We would also like to sug gest whiskers in some form for Hu bert Heffner, the preacher. "Dogwood Bushes," we almost caught ourselves writing "In Dixon's Kitchen" is a comedy in true Stout form, dealing with the trial; and tribulations of youthful country lovers, and as far as the pure and simple comic, i. e., the laugh get ting, effects went, it was very suc cessful. As a work of dramatic art, we should say, not so much so. The characters were well drawn , and all except the principals very well acted. It is always hard, and we might say that it is well that it is so hard, for youthful amateurs to enact anything like convincing love scenes. The make-ups in this play were delightfully truthful, with the ex ception of the two young lovers, who were rather too trim and neat for the setting and the theme. The ending was- very weak and should certainly be improved before the EDITOR YACKETY TACK OTHER EDITORS NAMED C. K.

Royster of the English department, who has recent ly returned to the University to take up his work here which he left some few years ago, spoke in Chapel Fri day, as a returned emmigrant about the many distinctive things that have come to pass in his absence. He stated that he was deeply impressed with the University's great build ing program, its road to Durham, and the newly constructed railroad into Chapel Hill. He declared that in his opinion the most distinctive thing here was the Carolina playmakers and there were presented very fine productions of Folk plays typical of North Car olina life. This, he said, was a very worthy accomplishment. Mr. Roy ster said in part, " These plays presented here and in the State are attracting the attention of the peo ple of the State and causing them to realize the great work being done here by local talent in an effort to interpret the living conditions in North Carolina." Professor Royster declared that this kind of work was carried on in other colleges and universities, but that it was not so successfully done as it is here. Indirectly, he paid tribute to Freddie Koch for his work in this field of endeavor and expressed himself greatly in favor on expanding this work and arrang ing the plays so as to reduce the price of admission low enough for the whole student body to see the plays at a very nominal price. Victor V. Young of. the junior class was almost unanimously elect ed editor-in-chief of the 1923 Yackety Yack at . the regular busi ness meeting of the Philanthropic Assembly last Saturday night, that being the regular time for the as sembly's election of its officers to the Carolina Magazine board and Yackety Yack board of next year. The other officers elected are as follows: Associate editors of the 1923 Yackety Yack, George Y. Ragsdale, George C. Hampton and T. S. Howard; business manager of the 1923 Carolina Magazine, C. K. Massey; associate editors of the Magazine, Edwin Lanier, G. D. Goo ver and W. D. White. Victor V. Young, '23, editor-eject of the Yackety Yack, is an associ ate editor of the college annual this year. He is treasurer of Phi as sembly and was assistant treasurer last year. But the line in which Mr. Young has especially disting uished himself is in forensic con tests and public speaking, particu lar for the present year. Last fall he won the Mary D. Wright medal as best speaker in the inter-society debate. Recently he won the Julian S. Carr medal as winner of the junior oratorical contest, and only last week he, together with T. L. Warren, defeated the Johns Hop kins debaters for Carolina at Wash ington and Lee University in the annual triangular debate of the three institutions named. As regards the associate editors elect of the Yackety Yack, George Y. Ragsdale of the sophomore class is a member of the Tar Heel board, ii'ading clerk of the Phi Society and a reliable and steady worker; George C. Hampton is a member of the junior class, winner of the freshman, sophomore, and ' Mary D. Wright inter-society debates, ser-geant-at-arms of the. Phi assembly and assistant business manager of the Carolina Magazine; T. S. How ard is a member of the junior class and associate editor of the 1922 Yackety Yack. C. K. Massey, elected business manager of the Carolina Magazine, is a member of the freshman class, and many will express surprise at this statement for it is a very un usual occurrence for a freshman to be elected to such an office. But Mr. Massey is exceptionally dili- Twelve Medals For Varsity and Four for Freshmen Results From First Indoor SpectacleBad Weather Does Not Prevent Great Attendance at Gala Event.

SPEAK IN PEP MEETING Billy Carmichael, Scdubby Rives and Coach Bob Fetzer Talk To Stu dents About Indoor Track Meet up Possibly the most captivating pro gram this year, was presented in chapel Thursday morning when three universally popular personalities spoke briefly and entertainingly about various and sundry thing9. Billy Carmichael revived the sup posedly dead Carolina spirit when he declared that it was not the Car olina spirit that was dead but the student who thought it was dead. He pleasingly stated that it was more vital, absorbing and penetrating than ever. It was an entertainment for the students to have Billy Carmi chael, one of the basketball champ ions before them in person talking about the big indoor track meet to be held in Durham Friday night. "Scrubby" Rives, dean of the school of pep, made his first public appearance in Chapel since his operation, and he was received with great applause from the student body. He also briefly urged the students to stand together and back the track team in Durham to the last man so as to walk away with the spoils. Coach Bob Fetzer, the father of j the great meet and the moving spirit for Carolina's part in the contest, j :,milingly told the students that he was greatly pleased and satisfied with ' the splendid interest shown in track ' .ince his speech in chapel a week ago. He appeared very confident and warmly thanked the track men and the students at large for help ing put the big program across. but the infield is being laid off this week, and when that is completed the call will be given. Fred Morris is back for the sea son, and win be out tor third base, his old position. He is expected to have opposition from the football star of last fall, "Red" Johnson. Both men are first class infielders, and both are experienced, hard work ing ball players. Coach Fetzer will have the pleasure of watching . the two men fight it out. Roy Morris is out for the receiv- ing"end tf'the battery,' with'-Allan McGee'to come out later1. Both men are good receivers and hitters, so the receiving for the season is well taken care of. Monk McDonald, short stop, is resting up from the basket ball season before making his ap pearance. McLean is out for sec ond, and looks good. Shirley may go back on first base, his original . position. If Spruill doesn't come out for the position, Shirley will no doubt be on the ini tial sack for the opening of the sea son. If Coach Fetzer decides to' send Johnson to first Shirley can go to the outfield where. he demonstrat ed his worth last season. Sweetman is about the only old man out for the outfield. He is the only letter man, although Havener and Griffith, who were on the squad last season are out, Coach feels that he is slightly short on outfield ma terial. Sweetman. is one of the best outfielders in the state, and the other two men look mighty good for e,arly season, and a number of good men are expected out when the general call is made. Llewellyn, captain of the team, . (ByS. B. MIDYETTE) Twelve medals for the varsity, four for the freshmen, eight relay medals and a massive 16-inch cup are the results of the visit of Coach Bob Fetzer's track team to Durham. Carolina, by scoring 40 points, practically swept everything before her in the First Annual Indoor Track Meet held in Durham Friday night, and outdistanced her nearest competitor, N. C. State, 15 points. Carolina scored 40 points, N. C. State 25, Wake For Bll Jnnity- 7 and Elon 5- Approximately 3,000 people Si LtGrlCiGCi. . . v j The meet was a gala day affair for Durham in spite of the badweather prevailing, and the Star Brick Warehouse was tilled with people.

The presence of a number of men from the uuiimui punce lorce ana nre department, and gold badged of ficials, many of whom were in formal dress, added much color to the affair. With J. V. Mulligan acting as Of ficial Starter of the meet, the events with the exception of the elementary schools events, ran off smoothly and extended over the time set for the end of the program by only 10 min utes. Mr. Mulligan is an experienced starter and has officiated in many of of the major track meets held north. Carolina Wins Relay.

C. State band struck up Dixie, and the strains of the music seemed to accentuate Boyd's speed. The credit in this event, however, cannot be given to him alone for P. J. Ranson, Murchison and Ambler did work worthy of note. Ranson, running first for the Caro lina team, took the lead at the crack of the starter's pistol, but was passed by a State College man on the first lap. But State's lead was short, and on thesecond lap, Ranson took the lead and handed a start of about 5 yards to Murchison. From this time on the result of , the Championship Relay was never in doubt for the gap was gradually increased by Murchison and still more by Ambler who gave Harden a 25-yard lead for the final quarter of a mile. Harden ran a splendid quarter though he was not pushed and never extended himself. The time, 4 minutes flat, was excel lent for an indoor track of this kind. The Carolina rooters in their sec tion of the bleachers, which was dec orated with Blue and White colors, cheered the team from start to fin ish under the tutelage of "Scrubby" Reaves and "Frondy." This was a thing unheard of before in track history here. University men were there in full force, over 250 at tending. Clean Sweep For Carolina in S80. In winning four places in the 880, Carolina cinched the outcome of the meet. This with the exception of the clean sweep made by the Freshmen team in the 50-yard dash, was the only one made in collegiate events. "Ratty the 4th" in the varsity 880 yard run was in his clement, and showed signs of good training. The whole bunch showed a neat pair of heels to their competitors, and five Carolina men finished in the first five places, taking 11 points in the event. Abernethy in Good Form. Abernethy, star Carolina field event man, despite the fact that his instep was in bad condition, by jump ing 10 feet 1-2 inches in the stand ing broad jump won first place and set an indoor state track record not to be broken soon, unless he does it himself. It is thought that he will.. Corpening, of State, who was reputed to be one of the best in this section, followed second with 9 feet 11 1-2 inches. "Big Ab" will hurl the jave lin and the discus in the outdoor meets which will be coming off soon. Yarborough Outstanding Freshman. Yarborough, Carolina freshman, and Woodberry track man last year, was the high point man in his class. He scored two first places, netting ten points. His first places were in the 50-yard hurdles and the 50-yard wash, which he took in a walk. He promises to make a good track man for Carolina next year. His points totalled more than those of any single college contestant. Freshman points, however, had no bearing on the out come of the meet. Marlette, of Elon, winner of the (Continued on Page Four.)
