VoL XXXI. Feb. 27, 1923 No. 37 GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP FIRST The Carolina basketball team, with, a clean sheet of an unbroken string of victories, has left for Atlanta to enter -the Southern tournament and contest for the championship that was last year won so handily by the Tar Heel quint. This will be a great week in Atlanta, and all the sport writers in Georgia have been looking forward to the event with a unanimous enthusiasm, and the majority of them are already predict ing another win of the title by the Caro lina aggregation. Before the team left President Chase wrote each man making the trip a per sonal letter, congratulating the team on its fine record so far, and wishing them well in the tournament. In his letter President Chase alluded to the value of good sportsmonship, and ex pressed his wish that the team would remember that, after all, this was the big thing in the game. Good sportsmanship, a phrase we like to think of as being synonoymous with Carolina athletics. Last year at At lanta the Carolina team, under the lead ership of Cart CarmichaeL conducted itself in such a splendid manner that all the critics commented on their clean, sporty playing. It was this spirit of the Tar Heel team that made it so popular in Atlanta, this spirit of playing the game fairly and squarely- victory or defeat. The men sent to Atlanta this year to represent Carolina will, of course, play this same kind of basketball. The Tar Heel has no doubt of that, for we be lieve that the success of our basketball team has been due, in no little measure, to this principle of cleanliness and good sportsmanship inculcated in its training. It is possible that some team may elim inate Carolina early in the tournament. That we cannot know about yet, but when they return, whether they bring or do not bring the cup back with them, we feel safe in saying that we can take off our hats to them as a team of clean, sporty athletes, and congratulations will be in order for Just this demon stration, in itself. -.. NO WORRY HERE Developments in Raleigh the past few days have been extremely encour aging to those enthusiastic for higher education in North Carolina, and to those who are advocating great appro priations in order that this work may be carried on in the tremendous expan sion that has lifted the state from the lowly place it once occupied in educa tional statistics. The General Assem bly, essentially an intelligent body of men, recognizes the fact that in educa tional advancement we cannot afford to cut down on the appropriations, that here is an investment for the state that is safe and sound and deserving. Requests by University folk, made by experts after a diligent and careful study of all conditions, have been made with no enthusiastic propaganderish pa rades and overtures, nor with any hope or intention of bulldozing the law mak ers in granting us pie and hunks of dessert for our selfish embellishment. That, the Tar Heel thinks, has been par ticularly fine and worthy of praise. The way the folks here at Chapel Hill look at it, is that the men of the Gen eral Assembly should know when facts and figures are placed before them what we deserve and what is best for us. And that is the reason we are optimistic and await the verdict calmly and with confidence that the University will fare welL It is so evident that the funds here tofore granted the University by the state have been spent with such splen did judgment and so wisely and care fully. It is so evident that every item listed in the budget requests is needed here, and every expenditure is vital and important. And everywhere in the state it seems to be happily agreed that North Carolina cannot let up in its edu cational progress, that our poverty (if such there should be) should halt us last of all in giving freely for the ad vancement of higher education in the state. We await the decision in Raleigh without fear or worry. Mince and Comments -t- The gentleman who borrowed four suits and two tuxedos from Vance last week certainly lias a taking way about him. '29 H EE Big Chief Casey Morris could add much luster and quniutness to his wigwam eat ing joint by donning feather head-dress, ft pair of buck skin pants, and a toma hawk. E9 5 S As a basketball game the Carolina State affair was a good catch-ns-can wrestling match, and the A. and E. boys found the ball as hard to handle as a peck of untamed fleas. HUB Another student business venture started ; the student barbers are now selling hair mattresses. a a s The electricians launched a most suc cessful "Charge of the Light Brigade' in all the dormitories last week. More varieties of lights were taken from var ious rooms than Heinz has pickles. . 38 H S , - . N. C. C. W. wants more money from the legislature. Very characteristic of the female species. BBS The girl who thinks no man is good enough for her, may often be right, but she is more often left. 18 1, If a freshmnn-junior smoker will cram Swain Hall to its fullest capacity, how will they be able to accommodate the population of Chapel Hill for the Caro lina Smoker? 11 8 a It's a seal skin coat to a fig leaf that the names of the student speakers on that big night will appear on the ballot boxes later on in the Spring. sag Frank Coxe hns returned to head the list of the Carolina hurlers for the com ing season. His cute little police dog "Wop" hns likewise returned to re-assert his supremacy over the Chapel Hill Canine Tribe. a a a The vogue of the "third eyebrow" is fast growing on the campus. Perhaps very soon we shall even have a few Van Dyke beards among the faculty. s m a One student's idea of the sweetest words of tongue or pen is "That's all today, Gentlemen." h a a From the title of Mr. Ching Chang Hsiung's piny, "The Thrice-Promised Bride," one is inclined to believe that China is not so far behind America after nil. BUB Wonder if they found any hooch in King '".Tut's" tomb, or any petrified galoshes. 5! K 3 We wish Mutt and Jeff would find some comedy while they are in Egypt. The gHgs they pull were antiques long before King Tut passed away. H. F. Janda spent last week-end in Raleigh in the interest of the co-oper ative system of the engineering school. Professor Janda also had a conference with G. W. Hutchinson, chief testing engineer of the State Highway com mission. BRAOSHAW MAKES STUDY OF LARGERJNSTITUTIONS Special Investigation of Relations Be tween Student Body and Manage ment Undertaken by Dean. It pays to advertise in the Tar Heel our readers know a good thing when they see it. Dean Bradshaw left Friday morning for the University of Iowa where he begnn a ten-day visit to some of the leading universities and colleges of the country. The purpose of his visit is that he may study conditions between the students and the management as they exist in these larger colleges. From the University of Iowa he will go to the University of Illinois, from there to Dartmouth, next to Yale, and then probably to Harvard. Mr. Bradshaw 's visit is a result of a request from Dr. Chase that ho make a study of these colleges in their meth ods of dealing with their student bodies and how they are nble to keep in close contact with the large number of stu dents that thev have. These colleges have within recent years experienced a sudden increase in their student bodies similar to the increase at this University today. The visit is expected to be a profitable one toward bettering our own conditions wherever they may be inferior to these larger colleges. CLEVER CARTOONING IS BOLL WEEVIL FEATURE A New Newspaper For Chapel Hill A new newspaper is to make its ap pearance in the town next Thursday, March 1. It is called The Chapel Hill Weekly, and its editor is Louis Graves, professor of journalism in the LTniversity. The Weekly will be a town and coun ty enterprise, not dealing with Universi ty news except as an incident. "Chapel Hill is growing fast and there is a great deal going on that people want to know about." said Mr. Graves recent ly. "I mean activities that have noth ing to do with the University. WeTJ publish some news about the University, as about any important establishment in the county, but this will be just in cidental. It will .form a small part of our news budget. To the Tar Heel a students' election or a change in the methods of serving food at Swain Hall is far more important than the success of Chapel Hill High Sehool boys in raising chickens or the plans to stop up mud holes in Rosemary street. It will be just the reverse with us : the cliicken raising and the possible abolition of the mud holes will be worth more space. "I have arranged for assistance in the routine work. One of the persons who is going to help me is a high school student who has lived in Chapel Hill all his life and knows the town and the people. He is interested in learning to be a reporter and I believe will make a good one. "Of course I hope members of the journalism class will contribute to the new newspaper. The subscription price is the same as that of most North Caro lina weeklies, a dollar and a half a year." SOUTHERN PINES TO HEAR UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS An interesting series of nine lectures by university professors, arranged by the Extension Division, is being given in the Congregational Church at Southern Pines on successive Sunday evenings this winter. Rev. E. W. Serl is pastor of this church, which has a congregation of peo ple largely from the Now England states. The professors have been given a very cordial reception and report that the section has wonderful possibilities for development; in fact, is already be ing developed rapidly. The sjieaker Sunday night, February IS, was Dr. Collier Cobb who presented his illustrated lecture on Alaska. On the 2."ith Dr. D. D. Carroll spoke on Ser vice Through Business. Professor F, II. Koch will close the series with an illustrated Shakes lenrean lecture. Members of the faculty who have al ready spoken in this series are. Profes sor M. C. Noble of the School of Edu cation ; Mr. II. F. Comer, Secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., Professor II. D. Meyer of the School of Public Welfare; Dr. E. C. Branson of the De partment of Rural Social Economics, and Mr. Chester D. Snell, Director of the University Extension Division, and Pro fessor II. M. Dargan of t' e English Department. "Is this a second-hand store?" "Yessum." "Well, I want one for my watch." Virginia . Reel. "I bent a prof, up to-day." "How's at?" "Passed him on the hill." Colorado Dodo. Cover Design by Barnes Gets Favor able Mention Editorial Board Not Far Behind the Art Staff. (By H. D. DULS) "Spooks that come in the night, They haunt us and hawk us and flunk us." Such is the idea portrayed ex ceptionally well by John T. Barnes on the cover of the "Faculty Number" of "Carolina's Boll Weevil," which hiade its belated appearance on tho cam pus last Saturday. The art staff cer tainly scored a touchdown in this visit to the Hill of the now familiar insect. Barnes did not confine his efforts to the cover alone, however, but ably back ed by L. M. Gudger and one or two other contributors he spread it, on thick with "Life's Little Oddities," "Rise and Fall of the Faculty," "Have You Had Yrour Iron Today," etc. And not to be outdone in wholesome wit or in local jibes, the editorial board did itself proud. "Seen and Over heard" couldn't be beat for any stu dent who has taken a course in eco nomies, and is not totally void of mean ing for those who have not. The writ er certainly used rare discretion in not gracing his masterpiece with his sig nature if he is taking a course in the School of Commerce, because it is only too obvious what professor each text book author represents. The parody on "Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean" calls to memory fond rec elections of last Thanksgiving Day, but is rather late in coming out. The author should have produced his idea sooner after the game. ' ' Professor Flunkem: A Tragedy" was certainly such in every sense of the word, and may make the wives of our beloved edu cators shudder with horror at the very idea, but the hardened old "prof" re calls that he has a weapon of defense; namely, the six. "The Professor's Four teen Points" are well taken, even as Professor Boll Weevil's degrees are, but some of them need sharpening to give them a point. 'To Olive Oil" and "The Reason Why" from the pens of embryo poets of the campus are not devoid of local color. "Sam's Soliloquy" follows suit and "Sound Off" might have been the real aftermath of a "break-up." The short jokes and fillers are up to Boll Weevil's already established high stan dard. 3Tow on the other" hand, besides being the February issue and coming out about the first of March, the Faculty Number shows an absence of editorials. But "blame it on the post-office" or perhaps the managing editor thought his material was good enough without editorials and he didn't miss it far at that. The Boll Weevil has proven true to its promise to give the campus a mag azine of clean, wholesome humor with out being an exclusive advertising agency, and we hear that the students and townspeople (especially faculty wives) are buying copies in large numbers.

New Epidemic of Flu Hits Campus The campus is once more threatened by a real epidemic of influenza. It was thought that this malady had been safe ly arrested, but during the past week it has become very prevalent again and the infirmary has had an average of 21 patients daily for the past week. Those men who are now confined with influenza are as follows: Milton Ward, Henry McDonald, R. A. Foun tain,, B. F. Fountain, W. L. Norton, The University of North Carolina basketball team repeated its 1922 per formance of winning every intra-state contest and thus earned a clear title to the state championship for the sec ond successive vear. The Blue and White has now won eighteen consecu five games with college teams in the state during the years of 1921-22-23. Captain McDonald's quint played good basketball throughout the regular sea son and enters the Southern Intercol legiate Tournament etill undefeated, being the only team with that distinc tion. " In "summing up" the"factors""in"lhC success of the Carolina quint, one comes to a task that can only be partially ac complished at the most. The outstand ing characteristic of the Tar Heel five, and one that distinguishes it from the other teams of this section to a great extent, is the elock-like precision mani fested in dribbling, passing and shoot ing. No other collection of basketball tossers in North Carolina plays with so little apparent effort and yet runs up such large scores. The. Carolina team is essentially a scoring unit. As was the case last year, every player is a forward and possesses great ability in shooting from both long and close range. This quality, coupled with a well-drilled passing and drib bling game, enables the Tar Heels to vary their attack more than the teani with a standing guard of the old score less type. Other schools in this section, notably Trinity, aro adopting this sys tem of play more and more as they see its superiority demonstrated. The members of the Blue and White quintet are nil experienced players, fa miliar with the fine points of the game, and having for each other a degree of friendship and confidence that is rare ly found on any athletic team. The smooth team play of the Tar Heels is commented upon everywhere they per form and the absence of unnecessary roughness is a feature of their playing which deserves considerable praise. The selection of an all state team pre sents the usual difficulty, that of decid ing upon the relative merits of the various players on a double basis rec ords and eye impressions. Individual brilliancy on a compart tively weak team does not indicate extraordinary ability in every case. An ideal quint should possess speed, height, elusive dribbling, accurate shooting, skill in diagnosing plays, and the "never-say-die" spirit that often wins after the- game seems hopelessly lost. With the above qualifications in mind we have selected Green, of Carolina, and Stringfield, of Wake Forest, for the forward positions on the mythical all star team. The former has an excel lent eye for the basket from any posi tion and utilizes his strength to great advantage in close play. While rather light, Striugliuld- is remarkably, fast, a deceptive dribbler, and a good shot from the floor as well as from the foul line. Spikes and Simpson, of Trinity,, are picked for tho second team. At center it is necessary to have a man of all-around ability, an excellent jumper, and a good floor man. Car michael is by far the outstanding pivot man in the state. One authority on basketball things that "his wonderful co-ordination of eye and muscle, his ease of court covering, his aptitude for team play, and his marked leadership seem to make him the choice for cen ter." Mauze, of Davidson, is a star on both defense and offense, and un doubtedly deserves a place on the sec ond selection. Crute, of Trinity, is a guard that combines all the advantages of height and speed, with the ability to shoot from tho center of the floor, and keeps his forward well covered. In the two games against Carolina, Crute did not allow his man a single goal. "Monk"" McDonald is the other guard. His beau tiful dribbling, skill in breaking up passes, and superiority in handling the ball would alone give him the place; but together with these qualifications t tie Tar Heel captain possesses cool judgment in crucial moments and a fighting spirit that is invincible. Cnvl Mahler has first choice for the second team, but tho decision between J. G. Frazier, of Guilford, and Crawford, of Davidson, for the other position is a hard one to make. Both are capable players at forward as well, so there is practically no difference in their rela tive offensive strength, but Frazier is perhaps the best shot and the hardest man to score on, so he gets the berth.
