March 2, 1923 Ko. 38 A FINE SEASON That was distressing news that came from Atlanta Wednesday night the notice of Carolina's defeat and elim ination in the second game of the South ern Basketball Tournament The campus took it hard, because the team we sent to Atlanta had made such a brilliant record in the South Atlantic division and promised to be a favorite in the tournament. Everybody seemed more or less confident that the Tar Heel quint would have a comparatively easy time. of it, and bring home the cup without much trouble. But the score told us another tale, and the unexpected defeat in the second round sent hopes and dope to the winds. Perhaps it is not a bad thing. It teaches us that we cannot have every thing we want, and that all teams are beatable, no matter how good they are. I teaches us the danger of over-confidence and it gives ns an opportunity to take defeat as it should be taken, in the manner fitting the spirit of Caro lina, and right now we can begin work ing again to come back strong again next year and go to Atlanta with the determination that victory will be ours. The defeat in tournament does not mar the wonderful record made by the Carolina team very much. The basket ball season has been a success from every standpoint, and the South Atlan tic championship that was won is no thing to be sniffed at. The team did not lose a single game on the regular schedule, and numbered among its vic tims the best teams in the South At lantic division. Carolina should be es pecially proud of these successes, and the misfortune in Atlanta should not lessen our applause for McDonald'B trim outfit. In viow of the fact that the team went through the season without a reg ular coach, the splendid record seems all the more remarkable. Next year, with a special basketball coach to train the squad, Carolina's chances for an other Southern Championship should be exceedingly good. si nte where nil forms of vice are cliini anted. , To accuse the rumpus of having turn ed into n veritable Hell is a little unfair, and I do not think that the facts war rant such a stiiteinent. If a man cannot stand such an amount, as one says, of vice, positively degrad ing; if he thinks that It is character or reputation will be seriously impaired by further association with us and our vices ; if he must, in order to live a virtuous life, be protected from all temp tation and, like a hot-house plant, at tain thnt great idealistic perfection of character which he seems to be seeking; then let him pack up his old kit bag and beat it for a "calmer and more vir tuous clime." It might be a commend able act of charity if he would tell us where he is going to find that aforesaid clime. There are doubtless others who would like to go there also. I think that there are several men on this campus who do not know of any ampus that is more virtuous than this ore, unless it be a monastery ; and it would add to their knowledge if some one would be so kind as to tell them where it is, if such exists. Your esteemed informant seems to have the wrong opinion of the duties' of ' rhe Student Council, lie seems to be lieve that the Student Council is a group of men whose duty is to ferret out each deviation from the straight and narrow path of each student and forth with bring him to judgment. This is not the purpose of the Council. We did not organize a detective agency when we organized the Student Council. We rather organized a group of men whose duty was more like the duty of a judge. They should do nil that is in their power to elevate our morals, but not by using the methods of Ilawkshaw or Sherlock Holmes, not to mete out punishment to an individual as if he were a criminal, but rather to do as a father should do, to show a man who has fallen from grace the error of his ways and to show him how aud help him to make up for his shortcomings. An accusation that the Student Coun cil has ceased to function and is afraid to mete out punishment is decidedly un fair. They have undoubtedly passed judgment upon all cases which have come to their notice. They have pur sued the courses which seemed best to them. They should not be denounced for their actions. They should be rather commended for their efforts to make this a better campus. The best student council is not neces sarily the one which ships the most stu dents. One of the best councils, in the opinion of one of our professors, was one which shipped only four men during the year. We may not have a perfect campus. We do not claim to have one; but we take offense in having the campus which we do have, called a Hell, and each one of us denounced as a gambling, drinking, dishonest and lascivious man, aud not tit to associate with decent people. If any man thinks that his character will be harmed by remaining here, in Hell, and associating with us, devils, let hiin leave. Two trains and a large number of jitueys leave each day. The student body will not mourn his loss. II. L, DULA. Mr. Dula : That's the spirit, old boy, ir advice to said disturber of the peace was essentially the same as yours. We even offered to help buy a ticket. Editor. his own campaign. Such things as syn chronizing clothes, neckties, tone of voice, politics, and breath (alcoholics or the reverse) with those of the judges exercise a subtle but potent iullireuee upon the final decision and are not to be neglected in a contest where a hair will decide the winner. All is fair in love, war and debating. I am giving these hints gratuitously in the hope that they may bo useful, leaving the exact choice of means to the individual so that I will in no way be incriminated by the appearance of one of the debat ers in the exact manner or mode I have specified.

"liaby'' Roane is the shining light for Tech. lie is the leading scorer for the Yellow Jackets this year, and will again be a serious candidate for All Southern honors. He was selected for the all-star five at the close of the 11122 tournament, along with Carmichael, Mc Donald, Harmon, and Redd, the big Chattanooga, center. In 1!)21, Georgia and Georgia Tech met in the second round and some 8,000 people crowded into the Auditorium to see (he struggle. The receipts at this game were enough to pay the expenses of the sixteen teams entered in the tournament that year. The shortage for each team last winter was just seventy dollars, but this figure is expected to be considerably lowered in the present tour ney. One of the outstanding centers in Dixie is Ed Giirr. captain of the Georgia Bull doss. He rang seveu baskets against Mercer on the Macon floor recently aud his foul shooting has been very consistent all season. Ricking an all-Southern basketball team this year will he a tough job. Every member of the mythical quint selected by Atlanta sport writers m lvzi are playing ill the tourney again. The col lection of luminaries in Atlanta repre sents the cream Of basketdom in the Southland, and to decide upon the five best performers is a difficult task for anyone. The Southern Intercollegiate Basket ball Tournament has become the biggest event of its kind iu the United States. The so-called '"National Collegiate Tour nament," held at Indianapolis, and the national tourney of the Amateur Ath letic Union, an annual event at Kansas City, were the only ones that could com pare with the Atlautu title affair last winter. Twelve of the thirty-two entries at Kansas City were teams organized in that locality, thus making the A. A. U. meet something of a one-town contest. There were twenty-three te:ms. repre senting nine states, entered in the S. I.

Mr. Editor : There can be no doubt of the fact that there has been some drinking, gamb ling, dinhonesty and lewdness in, on, around aud about this fair campus. liut I will venture to Htate that those who are fully aware of the true facts of the case will not say that there has been a general let-down of the standard of the student body as a whole. There will always be a certain amount of these act ions, that is, unless we reach the Utopian PICKING JUDGES To the Editor of the Tar Heel: The luscious debating plums offered this year have naturally attracted a host of little Jack (not Willie) Homers who seek to reduce these plums to their individual possession and consumption. The aspirants for places on the debat ing teams have the power to select their own judges. This is as it should be. There can be no better proof of a virile and independent student, body than this right. But as law' students seek law professors for judges; as com merce students seek commerce profes sors; as philosophy students seek phil osophy professors; as history students seek history professors, and as each special group seeks its own kind that will be sympathetic to its point of view and its particular brand of oratory, so let mo give a few hints as to other tactics along this line. Why does not some bright debating candidate neg lect to shave a small area under his mouth and above his chin aud then in sist that one of the well-known psy chology professors be selected as one of the judges. Why does not some other debating aspirant quote freely from the scriptures and insist upon hav ing a local minister on the board of judges! This has been successfully used before. Johns Hopkins won two votes this way in the debate against Carolina last year. Examples along this line can be multiplied ad infinitum The individual candidate must shape OF ASHEVTLLE Will insure your being properljr tailored.
