1792 to 1950 Will Be Duration
of Time Which len istunts
Will Depict.
ALL STUDENTS INCLUDED
Fresh, Sophs, Juniors, Seniors,
Law, Pharmacy, Med Will Give
Acts Graduates Fall Down.
Friday night, March 2, is the
time.
. Nine o'clock is the hour.
Swain Hall is the place.
Thus announced, the annual long-her-:alded
Carolina Smoker is at hand. Ten
stunts representing ten periods in the
University's past, present and future
will be given by ten organizations rep
resenting every student on the campus.
At least that was the original plan, but
since the graduate school, pleading
"overburdened with work" as an alibi,
flatly refused to take any part in the
affair, the senior class has volunteered
to give two stunts.
The organizations, with the periods
they represent and the name pf the act
they will give, are as follows: 1792,
.sophomores, "A Cotton Picking;" 1812,
freshmen, "First Chapel Exorcise of
.the Year;" 1848, seniors, "Literary So
ciety Meeting;" I860, medical school,
"The War;" 1875, pharmacy school,
"A Friday Afternoon Faculty Meet
ing;" 1898, woman's association, "The
Evolution of the Co-ed;" 1912, law
school, "A Faculty Trial;" 1918, sen
iors, "S. A. T. C.;" 1923, faculty,
"Student Pastimes;" 1950, juniors,
"Triple Beds."
The first three periods, from the open
ing of the University to the Civil War,
will be introduced by Professor Hor
ace Williams. The Civil War and Re
construction periods will be dealt with
by Prof. R. D. W. Connor, while Prof.
H. W. Odum will handle the era from
that time to the present. President
H. W. Chase will introduce the future.
II. D. Meyer, general chairman of the
Carolina smoker committee, announces
that every detni' is being carefully
worked out by the committee and that
no stone will be left unturned to make
this one of the brightest and happiest
events of the year. J. P. Trotter, of
the second year law class, has been
chosen to preside at the meeting. Mr.
Trotter will have the distinction of
being the first student ever to act as
toastmaster on this occasion, as mem
bers of the faculty have always done
so in the past. Mr. Meyer was toast
master at the Carolina smoker last year
and President Chase the year before.
Music will be supplied for the oc
casion by members of the University
orchestra. H. II. Anderson will lead
the group singing. A delicious menu
has been mapped out and courses will
bo served throughout the evening

Two big University alumni meetings
have been held outside the state this
week out at Washington, D. C., yes

today.
D. L. Grant, secretary of the general
alumni association, attended both gath

son is particularly interesting in hav-
ing the Washington alumni do what
they can toward helping the Univer
sity beautify its campus. Dr. Coker,
of the botany department, was present
at the Washington meeting. With the
aid of slide pictures he told those pres
ent about the University's present ar
boretum and othor campus scenery. A
number of congressmen, who are Uni
versity alumni, were present.
The Richmond alumni association met
today in the Jefferson hotel. Accord

from Henderson by the score of 32-10
in the double-header played Wednes
day night. The Ellerbe quint was bad
Iv outclassed bv Durham. The Bull
City lads displayed a passing game that
was hard to beat, while the Ellerbe
boys showed the lack of team work.
Green and Tickers were the class of
the Durham team. Green lead the scor
ing with 17 points to his credit. Cap
tain Sides played tho best game for
Ellerbe. His long shot from near the

BY DEFEATING DURHAM
HIGH IN CLOSE CONTEST
Win Second Game Against Dur
ham Boys by Close
Score of 33-30.
END SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Carolina's freshman quintet finished
up its basketball season with an exciting
33-30 game n gainst Durham High. By
this victory the freshmen got revenge
for the defeat that they received from
the Durham boys near the beginning of
the season. The Carolina yearlings
showed a great, improvement over their
first game with the fast Durahin quintet,
but were not quite up to the standard
of their two games against N. C. State.
During the first half neither team gain
ed a decided advantage. The home team,
with Green as the leading scorer, kept
nearly even in score with the freshmen.
At the end of the first period the visi
tors were ahead by one point, but they
had not played the smooth, fast basket
ball that they usually put forth.
In the second half Cobb and Yelver
tou began to ring up more baskets, and
the whole team seemed to work better.
But the outcome of the game was by no
means certain until the final whistle,
which left Carolina with a three-point
lead. This made the score 33-30.
The Durham High game closed a very
successful season for the freshman quin
tet. Almost a dozen victories more than
make up for the games lost to Durham
High and the Virginia freshmen.
LIBRARY GETS OLD BOOK
Among the new books added to the
library last week is a remnrkable vol
ume. Its age makes it a rare antique
being printed in 1703, and it has all the
old style of English spelling. The title
is "The Anatomie of Humane Bodies,"
by Dionis, and was presented to the
University by Dr. A. II. McLeod.
TO PRESENT NOTED NEW
YORK DRAMATIC SUCCESS
Gay MacLaren Will Give "Mer
ton of the Movies" in Memor
ial Hall Thursday Evening.
GIRL WITH CAMERA MIND
"Merton of the Movies" is coming
to Carolina. Miss Gay MacLaren, dra
matic artist extraordinary, will bring
this smashing hit of the present New
York season to Memorial Hall on Thurs
day evening while it is still in the six
teenth week of its run at the Cort the
ater on 48th street. Thus Carolina will
have the unique chance of seeing a
Broadway success in its original form
only four short mouths after its pre
miere, for Miss MacLaren brings not
only "Merton of the Movies" but
Glenn Hunter and Florence Nash and
the remainder of the New York com
pany as well.
Miss MacLaren is called "the girl
with the camera mind." She recreates
an entire play without any other aid
than her marvelous memory, and does
it so cleverly that there is little to
choose between the original produc
tion and her impersonation of it. Her
method of procedure is to attend a play
from three to five times. She is then
ready to reproduce the entire piece,
giving every bit of stage business and
impersonating every character from the
leads to the mail or bellboy. "She is
not only a star but a whole constella
tion." Everybody knows Harry Leon
Wilson's "Merton of the Movies." It
recently appeared serially in the Satur
day Evening Post and has since been
published in book form. His escapades
in unholy Hollywood are irresistible,
and he is fascinating New York in the
person of Glenn Hunter, America's fa
vorite performer of youthful roles who
is making his most brilliant success in
this play. He will fascinate Carolina
Thursday evening in the person of Miss
Gay MacLaren.

LADDER BREAKS AND
STUDENTS GET BAD
FALL IN GYMNASIUM
Jack Fred and II. L. Chapin were
painfnllv injured Saturday night when
the ladder on which they were perched
in Bvnum gymnasium gave way and
fell. They crashed 25 feet to the floor
and were lucky to escape with compara
tively slight injuries. Chapin 's ankle
was fractured, and Fred suffered a brok
en nose and a cut just over one eyo.
Fred and Chapin had climbed on the
ladder so that they might get a better
view of the Carolina-Virginia basket
ball game. The game had hardly start
ed when the ladder snapped and left
them in a heap on the floor. Doctor
Lawson administered first aid and the
boys were rushed to the infirmary. Cha
pin is a sophomore from Beaufort, and
Frod is a freshman from Henderson-villo.
Playing in whirlwind fashion, Caro
lina crumbled the strong Virginia de
fense in tho final game of the season
on the local floor Saturday night, and
won 39 to 16. By this victory the Blue
and White cinched the South Atlantic
basketball title and enters the South
ern tournament without a stain on its
record. The outcome of the contest
was never in doubt as the Tar Heels
exhibited a bewildering attack that
imido their last appearance here one
that will long be remembered by those
witnessing it.
Carolina's playing in the first half
was the best seen here this season and
it was evident from the start that the
Virginia quint was outclassed in every
phase of the game. Only occasionally
did "Pop" Lannigan's men display a
semblance of their great playing in the
last Washington and Lee game which
they annexed without difficulty. The
Old Dominion could tally but four goals
from the floor and it was the perfect
foul shooting of Lewis that produced
seven points.
The game had begun just one min
ute when Captain McDonald made a
beautiful catch of .1 pass over his shoul
der and caged a neat goal on the dead
run. Carmichael landed a spectacular
basket from the corner, and while the
balcony was in a state of wild demon
stration a ladder on which two spec
tators were sitting broke and fell. The
victims of the accident were painfully
though not seriously injured. When
play was resumed, Lewis started the
Virginia scoring with a long goal and
Carmichael tallied a free throw.
"Monk" McDonald secured a clever
basket and Carmichael added four
points 011 a field goal and two shots
from the foul line. Mahler and Car
michael scored two-pointers in rapid
succession and Virginia called for time.
Green made a long basket and Miller
secured Virginia's second field goal of
the fray. Carmichael dropped in c
couple of free throws and Green chalk
ed up another goal. Lewis and Car
michael each added a foul shot and Vir
ginia again had time out. These play
ers rang a free shot apiece, Mahler and
McCoy scored field goals, and the Caro
lina center dropped in his ninth suc
cessive counter from tho 15-foot lino
before the half ended. Score: Carolina
27, Virginia 9.
Soon nfter the second period got un
der way, Lewis tallied his seventh con
seeutive free throw. Carmichael land
ed a basket and Green followed with
another. Holland was substituted for
Lewis and soon contributed Virginia's
final basket from tho floor. Captain
Brown scored a foul goal, Sam McDon
ald located the hoop, and Carmichael
chalked up another one-pointer. Green
and the younger McDonald caged nice
baskets and the game was over. Score:
Carolina 39, Virginia 10.
Every Carolina, player shared large
ly in the victory, but individual hon
ors went to Captain McDonald and Car
michael. This pair literally dazzled the
Virginians with 'their brilliant, floor
work and shooting. Mahler, playing
his last game on the local floor, was a
tower of strength on the defense and
accounted for two field goals besides.
Ham McDonald and Green were in the
thick of the fight from start to finish
and contributed 12 points between them.
The gym team gave an exhibition
between halves. The splendid work of
"Mary" Worsham, the blind gymnast,
was the feature of Dr. Law son 's artists.

WRESTLERS DOUBLE THE
SCORE ON DAVIDSON MEN
Poindexter's Team Is Victorious With
Three Falls and One Bout
on Points.
PHARMACY SOCIETY
MEETS FORTNIGHTLY
The Simpson Pharmaceutical society
held a business meeting Wednesday eve
ning. It was decided that the society
in the future should meet every two
weeks instead of evory week. The
night and time of meeting remain the
same.
The Carolina wrestling team turned
in their second victory of the week
last Thursday night when the Devidson
mat artists were defeated 18 to 9. Throe
of the matches were won on points by
the Davidson team, while Coach Sha
piro's men accounted for their 18 points
'by getting three falls and winning one
bout on points.
In the featherweight class Seizor, of
Davidson, won from Schwartz on points
after 15 minutes of wrestling. When
the regular nine-minute period was over
neither man had been on top long
enough to win, but Selzer came back
strong in the extra periods and won
easily.
The clash between Captain Cromartie
of the Davidson team and Hagan start
ed off with a snap that had been lack
ing in the first mix-up. Hagan was on
the defensive most of the time, but the
classy Davidson grappler of the 129
pound class could not pin his shoulders
to tho mat and was able to annex only
three points for his team.
Vick was the Carolina representative
in the 139-pound class and he turned
in Carolina's first points of the meet
when lie pinned Cochran's shoulders
down with a headlock and a body
weight. The time required to get the
fall was 8 minutes and 10 seconds.
The next bout went 15 minutes be
fore Matheson, Carolina's 149 pound
class man, was able to win on points.
Kinzey, tho Davidson grappler, was
the only member of the Davidson team
to score Wednesday against Trinity and
it was only after a hard fight that he
lost to Matheson.
Waters, who was taking care of the
162-pound class for Clarolina, showed
up better than any other man on either
team. He disposed of Patterson in (i
minutes and 38 seconds with a head
chancery and a half nelson.
Neither Burke for Carolina nor Whit';
for Davidson were able to get a decis
ion in the allotted nine minutes. But
after one minutes and 50 seconds of
wrestling in the first of the two extra
throe-minute periods Burke secured a
fall. The two grapph-rs fought it out
for the remainder of the fifteen min
utes, but Burke was able to maintain
his advantage.
Tho crowd was treated to the real
surprise of the meet when Liiidninood
and I'oindcxtor, the heavyweights, mix
ed up. The good natured Davidson man
went into the fray with a smile on his
face and for the whole nine minutes
the determined efforts of Poiudexter
could not cause that smile to leave him.
Poindexter was helpless before this ver
satile grappler who won the hearts of
the crowd by his good sportsmanship.
Poindexter fought hard until the last
moment, but Lindamood had a decided
advantage on points.
Seth Bostick, of Charlotte, who was
visiting on the Hill, was the referee
He was a Carolina representative at
the Olympic meet at Durham last year,
A meet with State College was sche
duled to take place in Raleigh Satur
day night, but Mayor Eldridge of Ral
eigh stepped in and informed the State
College authorities that no wrestling
match could bo held in the auditorium.
The match will take place somo time
next week in Bynum gymnasium.

First Round With Mississippi
College Today Followed by
Mississippi University.
CAROLINA IS FAVORITE
Only Undefeated Team Entering
Tournament, the Tar Heel Out
fit Has Much Prestige.
At 5 p. m. today Carolina plays Mis
sissippi College in the first round of
the Southern Intercollegiate basketball
tournament in Atlanta. Captain Mc
Donald's quint is tbe only aggregation
to enter the tourney with a clean slate
and consequently is the prime favorite
among impartial followers of the court
game in tho South. The Tar Heels ar
rived in the Georgia capital yesterday
morning, accompanied by Coach Bill
Fetzer and Doctor Lawson, trainer, and
immediately established headquarters
at the Ansloy hotel. Captain McDon
ald, Carmichaol, Green, Sam McDonald,
Mahler, Graham, Poole and Purser were
taken on the trip.
Carolina's first opponent is a hard
working, fighting quint that was beaten
in the second round of last year's tour
nament by Tennessee in an exciting:
19 to 18 game. Bailey, guard, and
Parks, forward, have shown splendid
work for the Choctaws all season and
are being depended on by tholr sup
porters to furnish the Blue and White
machine plenty of trouble. If Coach
Fetzer 's men coine through the first
round, which they are expected to do,
the University of Mississippi is their
next adversary. David Yates, of Penn
sylvania, is the referee for the Tar
Heels' initial game, and Harry Fisher,
Army coach, is slated to umpire.
The University of Kentucky, cham
pions of 1921, Presbyterian College,
Citadel and Florida withdrow from tho
tourney at the last minute, leaving 24
toama from seven states to participate
in the opening rounds. Twenty-three
institutions wore represented in tho
meet last, year, an incrcaso of seven
over the number of 1921 entrants. V.P.I,
is the strongest contestant among the.
newcomers. The only possibility of a
Carolina-Gobbler meeting is in tho final
game, as the two teams are in separate
brackets.
In the ovent of a victory over the
University of Mississippi in the second
round, Carolina will likely meet Fur
man or Mississippi A. and M. The lat
ter has a splendid record that includes
a win from Georgia Tech, and is expect
ed to furnish considerable competition.
In case the Tar Heels reach the semi
finals, possible opponents are Georgia
Tech, Georgia, and Tulano. Either a
Tech-Carolina or a Georgia-Carolina
battle would draw a capacity house to
the huge auditorium Friday night.
Red Johnston Signs
Baseball Contract
"Red'' Johnston recently signed a
contract to play baseball with the At
lanta "Crackers" this summer. Jack
Corbett, president of the Atlanta club,
stated that he did not sign Johnson
with the idea of farming him out to
some smaller league team, but that ho
would be given a chance to make a
regular berth in the outfield, as the
"Crackers" need a fly chaser.
Corbett seems to be making a spe
cialty of collecting gridiron stars for
his team. Besides Johnston, he has
Glenn Killinger, famous Penn State
hero, and Joe Guyon, the great Indian
football player. "Red" has asked to
be sent to a western team in case he
can't make the grade in tho Southern
league.
The Alumni Review is offering pay

State Pharmacy Board
To Meet Herein June
The State Board of riiarmacy meets
here this year instead of Raleigh. There
will be no trips to Raleigh to sit in the
senate chamber and work in the A. and
E. laboratories, for applicants seeking
license to practice the pill-rolling pro
fession. The examinations come some time in
June after the close of the spring quar
ter, and the 20 or 30 students who fin
ish hero this year, while taking their
examinations, will use the same labs
in old Pharmacy building that they
have been accustomed to during their
two years at the University.
