CHARGED WITH STEALING
M'CLELLAND IS PLACED
COURT
Number 36
FRANK COKE, OLD YALE
PITCHING ACE, WILL BE
Former Student Put Through
uruiing i rial in Local Court
Evidence Very Conflicting.
ELLIS BROTHERS TESTIFY
Hugh McClelland, erstwhile Carolina
.student, was placed under $500 bond
for his appearance at the next term of
Orange county superior court by Mayor
Robinson's court last Wednesday aft
ernoon. The charge against McClol
iand was that "he did take, steal, and
convey away from the possession of
,S. A. Ellis and H. B. Ellis one suit of
clothes, two overcoats, one lot of shirts,
one lot of socks, one lot of handker
jshrofs, and one scarf, receiving the
ame knowing they were stolen."
Evidence introduced into the trial
tended to conflict on many details. The
prosecution claimed that the articles
above described were taken from room
109, Mangum dormitory, between the
hours of 6 and 7:30 last Sunday night
while the Ellis brothers were at supper.
Chief Long stated that he had seen two
boys coming down the street towards
the fire house a few minutes after 7
o'clock, one of them had a bunch of
clothes under one arm and a traveling
bag in the other. He could not posi
tively identify McClelland as the man.
About two hours later the Ellis boys
tamo to him with the affair. Monday
McClelland broke a town ordinance by
riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, and
was placed in jail for it. After lodg
ing McClelland in jail, Chief asked his
permission to look in his room. Secur
ing this, the policeman, with S. A. Ellis,
made an inspection of McClelland 's
Toom over the old Pritchard building.
In a traveling bag Ellis found a pile
of socks, some of which he absolutely
identified as his own, and some as his
brother's. He recognized the socks by
zinc oxide being on some of the black
pnes. One of them, n white silk sock,
had a red spot on it, caused by som-1
shoe polish which he well remembered
getting on it.
Ellis had a conference with McClel
land while the latter was in jail. He
agreed to pay for part of the stolen
goods, but said that he could not return
any of the stolen goods. He stated that
he was willing to pay for part of the
goods in order to keep off publicity.
The defense in its plea of "not guil
ty" claimed that Hugh McClelland and
his roommate, Clyde Shipp, an employe
of the Foster Electric Shop, spent the
afternoon in Carrboro, wheie they had
lunch. They returned to their room
about 7 o'clock, washed up, and went
to the White House Cafe, whore both
ngain ate something. From this point
the evidence of McClelland and Shipp
differed somewhat. McClelland claimed
that Ship changed clothes and went out
to see a girl. He said that ho read a

Record at Eli.
DEFEATED N. Y. GIANTS
Frank Coxe, former varsity pitcher
at Yale, will report to Coach Fetzer
when spring training begins about the
first of March. Coxe, who is a left
handed twirler, was a mainstay on the
mound for Old Eli during three seasons,
pitching his last game at Now Haven
in 1921. Last year he was coach of the
Carolina freshman nine, and has pitched
in amateur circles for several summers.
While pitching for Yale, Coxe held
the New York Giants to a 4-3 victory,
defeated Harvard three times, shut out
Princeton twice in succession, and won
from Virginia, Cornell, Dartmouth, and
other strong college teams in the East
and South. In 1921 he pitched against
Harrison, of Virginia, and won 9 to 1,
allowing the Old Dominion but three
hits. Another notable performance was
his 5 to 1 victory over Waseda Uiftver
sity, while the latter was on its famous
tour of this country. Coxe pitched to
Frisch, Killinger, and other diamond
celebrities while they were playing col
lege baseball.
The addition of Coxe to the Blue and
White pitching staff will bolster up that
department consderably. He should be
good for at least six or eight victories
during the season if accorded good sup
port. Bryson will be Coach Fetzer 's
right handed ace, while "Tick" Moore
should develop into a splendid port
sider. John Coffey, Bill Ferebee and
Coltrano are three other mound artists
who may be depended on to deliver the
goods if called upon.

DIES AT HER HOI HERE
Mother of University Registrar Passes
at Age of Eighty-Four Com
munity in Sorrow.
The community lost one of its oldest
residents when Mrs. Thomas J. Wilson
died at her home on Cameron avenue,
Saturday morning. Mrs. Wilson was in
her S.")th year. For several years she
has been in poor health and has not
been ablo to take an active part in the
affairs of tho village. Before her mar
riage, in 1864, to Dr. T. J. Wilson, a
surgeon, she was Miss Margaret Boss
of Hillsboro. She and her husband
came to Chapel Hill to live in 1885,
whore he was a practicing physician
nntil his death in 1904.
The death of Mrs. Wilson is deeply
regretted by the University on account
of the connection of her family with
its faculty. Her son, Dr. Thomas J.
Wilson, Jr., is registrar of the Univer
sity, while her grandson, Thomas J.
Wilson III, is instructor in French.
Both of them are alumni of Carolina.
Funeral services were held at the
Wilson home at 2:30 Sunday afternoon,
after which interment took place in tho
Chapel Hill cemetery.
The Carolina wrestling team defeated
Guilford in every individual match
staged at the Gvmnasium Tuesday night
winning 3.3 to 0. Some of the matches
went for seven and eight minutes, but
no extra periods were needed for the
Blue and White grupplers to pin their
opponents' shoulders to the mat.
In the feather weight class, Benny
Schwartz threw Connor in 3 minutes
and 8 seconds. Vick middle weight,
threw Ragsdnle in 4 minutes and 30
seconds. Mattheson pinned Ferrell "s
shoulders to the mat in .'! minutes and
5 seconds. Ilngnn threw Connor, who
had previously wrestled Schwartz, in
2 minutes and 4" seconds. Waters
threw McDanicl in 3 minutes and 48
seconds. Burk, heavy weight, threw
Warrick in 5 minutes and 33 seconds.
Captain Poindexter, in the unlimited
class, downed Hammond in just 4." sec
onds. The method of timing collegiate
matches is somewhat different from
that used in professional wrestling. The
time of a fall does not begin when
the opponents step on the mat, but is
the time that a player is on the offense
before pinning the shoulders of his
antagonist to the mat. Thus a player's
time begins the moment he is on top.
When one wrestler holds both shoul
ders of his opponent on the mat for
three seconds, he gets a "pin fall."
The wrestlers start in the fashion of
the Romans, which is known as "catch-as-catch-can."
The Tar Heel mat artists will prob-
MONDAY'S GAME
Di ; t . -i .
oiiuwmg a aecmcu superiority in
every department of the game, the Car
olina basketeers overwhelmed tho N. C.
State quint 39 to 9 in a rather slow
and listless game in Bynum Gymnasium
Monday night. After the first few min
utes of play when the Carolina five had
trouble locating the basket, the only
question was how large the margin of
victory would be at tho end of the
game.
The first counter of the contest came
after six minutes of play when Mahler
dropped in an easy one near the basket.
Previous to this the wearers of the
Blue and White had repeatedly worked
the ball up the floor only to miss nu
merous "crips." Then Carmichael
scored from the foul line. Johnson of
State in turn took advantage of the
only foul called on Carolina, and a few
moments later he rang up a spectacular
basket from near the center of the
court. Then the score was deadlocked.
at 3-3 for several minutes, but finally
Captain McDonald 's men hit their stride
and with Carmichael and McDonald do
ing the shooting the score was pushed
up to 17 before the half was over. Dur
ing this time State was not able to swell
their three points.
The second half opened up with Caro
lina 's machine working more smooth
ly and before State could score the Blue
and White team was on tho long end
of a 27 to 3 score. Thou Johnson lo-
WEDNESDAY'S GAME
By defeating State in Raleigh Wed
nesday night, 45 to 26, Carolina reduc
ed the remaining games before the At
Ianta tournament to one. Tho Virginia
contest here tomorrow night is not only
the last appearance of Captain McDon
aid's five on the local floor, but is also
the biggest struggle of the season.
The first half went five minutes be
fore a goal was shot and it was State
that got that. The Carolina quint seem
ed baffled bv tho State defense and the
Auditorium floor and State was in the
Tead for most of the first period. A
rally near the end of the period gave
Carolina a one-point lend, 17-16, as the
whistle blew.
It was a different Carolina quint that
came on the floor at the start of the
second half. S. McDonald and Carmi
chael seemed to find the basket from
any angle, and the old pinx of the "Au
ditorium" faded away into innocuous
desuetude.
It was the long shots of State, espe
cialy of Curtis, that held Carolina at
bay during the first half. In the second
period State seemed to lose its accurate
eye and the long shots bounced off the
backboard harmless. ."Monk" Mc
Donald did not cage a ball during the
entire game but he was always under
Carolina's basket to prevent a follow
up "Snowbird" from a long try.
The marvelous foul shooting of Car
michael was another feature of the
cated the basket for the second time, game. He had 19 opportunities and
and incideutallv the second time for
the State team. "Monk" McDonald
and Green did some excellent shooting,
McDonald's three counters coming in
quick succession.
Carmichael and Captain McDonald
were the bright lights for Carolina.
Carmichael was responsible for 15 of
his team's points, while McDonald add
ed 10. Johnson, the sorrel-topped guard
was the best for State. He rnntrih
uted five of his team's nine points.

At a recent meeting of the Admiiii
trative Group, which holds its meet
ings in the President 's office twice
week, the President appointed a com
mittee to see about the publication of
a University Bulletin. The first issue
of this new publication came out for
this week. The whole front page of th
Bulletin is taken up with the culeudar
of the week. This calendar is open to
the use of all the organizations that
have anything that they wish to call
to the attention of the faculty or stu
dents in the way of meetings or lectures
and the like. This front page of the
mimeographed pamphlet will be posted
on all the bulletin boards of the cam
pus so that the student body can see
what is going on for the week.
1 no incuity win lie mailed a copy
of the Bullet in which, besides serving
as 11 weekly calendar, will serve as a
medium through which the members of
the faculty can reach the other mem
bers. Notices that will pertain to the
faculty will be printed on the sheets
and will be sent through the mail to
the faculty members so that they will
get them some time Sunday. The forms
for the Bulletin close at 6 p. in. sharp
on Friday and all material that is not
in the hands of Mr. Carrie at the Pres
ident's office before this time will not
be in the Bulletin for tho next week.
This piece of work was judged nec
essary by the administration because
of tho increased size of the faculty. So
far as is known here there are but few
institutions that have such a bulletin.
Under the old system the faculty could
have a meeting at almost any time, but
now, duo to the increased size of the
University, it is a hard proposition to
The committee in charge of the Caro
lina Smoker has been busily engaged in
getting up tho stunts for the big night
and in perfecting them. According to
the interest that is being shown by the
schools and classes that are to take part
in the stunts the affair will prove a
huge success. All the stunts have been
arranged and the different ones that
are to act in them are practicing their
particular stunt with the idea of mak
ing it the best one of the night.
The date of tho smoker as first an
nounced on March 1 has been changed,
due to tho fact that President Chase
could not be here for the occasion. Ac
cordingly the date has been moved back
one night, so it will fall on March 2.
The Carolina Playmakers had had an
impersonator to come hore on that dato,
but they have consented to either got
the date moved up or to have a -performance
in the afternoon, so that no
thing can conflict with the big night
bf the year.
Only the old men who have attended
the Carolina Smokers of the past can
know the real college spirit and the
fun that is connected with such an af
fair. However, even the old men. can
not recall a smoker that will take on
the atmosphere that this one will have.
Instead of a disorganized series of
stunts, thoro will be the theme of the
favorite pastimes of Carolina men from
the vory founding of the University
to the future year of 1950.
The humorous side of tho historical
events and customs will bo brought to
the students that night. There will not
be a minute that will not be full of
fun and enjoyment. Some of the '
stunts will be as follows: The coming
of the co-eds, by tho N. C. Woman's
Association; tho meeting of tho first
literary society, by tho graduates; the
time of enforced morning prayers, by
the freshmen; a faculty trial, by the
aw school, and the recollections of tho
S. A. T. C. days, by the seniors. ThcRO
are but a few of the stunts thnt will
ie presented.
There will also be eats and then somo
more eats. On account of tho exponso
of the refreshments an tho cost of the
hall rent and decorations, thoro will
bo an admission. It will be hard for
the committee to come out on this
amount, but they are being very eco
nomical with everything that they can,
with the one exception of tho eats.
The whole affair is already well or
ganized and when tho big night rolls
