TRACK SQUAD IS
HARD AT WORK
Loach Bob Fetzer Has Been
Busy With Preliminary Prep
arations for Track
- Coach Bob Fetzer has been busy
for the past few weeks with prelim
inary preparations for lining up his
track prospects for this season. A
mixed squad composed of both Var
sity and Freshmen has been at work
in the new indoor field for the- past
three weeks. The training has now
been transferred to the outdoor board
track, and when weather permits the
candidates will be transferred to the
cinder path. Bad weather will not
interfere with the progress in train
ing, as the indoor track will be at
the disposal of Coach Bob's charges
whenever Jupe Pluvius happens to
soften the. cinders on Emerson Field.
Several letter men and other good
looking material have already an
swered the call and are having daily
workouts under the eye of the
coaches. However the track officials
are anxious to increase the squad
and urge everyone who is interest
ed to come out for practice. It will
be some time before the regulars are
picked and until then every candi
date has an equal chance.
The Intra-mural association is
helping to stir up interest in track
by staging all-University meets. This
program will be initiated tonight by
cutting on a preliminary meet at the
indoor track. The final champion
ship meet will be staged March 8.
T. B. Smiley, pole-vaulter and let
ter man of the squad of 1921, is back

JACK DEMPSEY AGREES WITH
PRESIDENT CHASE IN ACTION
World's Heavyweight Champion Says That the President Was
Probably Right in the Action He Took in Calling Off the
Proposed Exhibition in Chapel Hill
By J. M. SAUNDERS
"Well I don't know but what Pres
ident Chase did the right thing after
all, because you can't always tell and
it does not always pay to take a
chance." This was the comment
Jack Dempsey, world's champion
heavyweight who gave an exhibition
in Raleigh Wednesday night, had to
make on the decision of President
Chase in regard to the proposed
Dempsey exhibition in Chapel Hill.
Bill Cox, who is a student here, a
boxing enthusiast and an admirer of
the champion, had plans underway
to bring Jack Dempsey to the Hill
for an exhibition, but they were cut
short by the stand taken by the
President that such an exhibition was
legally questionable and might bring
forth much criticism from the state
at large.
"I told him all about the reasons
why we couldn't have him over, ir.d
he agreed that it might bring much
criticism to the President," said Cox
in an exclusive interview to the TAR
HEEL man.
. "Well, how in the world did you
get a chance to talk to Jack?" I
inquired of Bill. And he related the
account of his getting a private in
terview with the pugilistic giant.

BILL DODDERER
Bill Dodderer, whose acquisition to
the team this year plugged up the
hole left by Carl Mahler. His work
at Center last night won favorable
comments from the large crowd that
flocked to the Tin Can.

sity Y. M. C. A., and of Dr. Harold

such a man. There was no jewelry,
no diamonds and no cigars! Kearns
took me in the next room to intro
duce me to Jack. The champion was
sitting at a small writing desk do
ing some writing. He was in his
shirt sleeves. The only other per
son in the room was Teddy Hayes,
his trainer, who was lying on the bed
reading a book."
"When we walked in Jack stood
up, and when Kearns said, 'Jack,
meet Mr. Cox, who was to put on the
exhibition at the University of North
Carolina' the mighty prize-fighter
stuck out his hand and said, 'Glad to
meet you.' "
"I thought that that would end
it," said Bill, "but instead Dempsey
pulled up a chair and told me to sit
down. He began talking and we
talked together for a long time."
"How did he look?" inquired the
newspaper reporter.
"He was as brown as a berry, made
so by the Florida sun. He had short,
crisp, coal-black hair and wears a
pompedour. His eyes were continu
ally moving from object to object in
the fashion of a wild animal. His

CAROLINA BASKETBALL TEAM
OUTPLAYS TRINITY AND WINS
BY DECISIVE SCORE OF 31-20
CHINESE CABARET
A HUGE SUCCESS
Big Crowd Attend Cabaret and
Supper at the Country Club
Thursday Night
There was a Chinese cabaret and
supper at the Country Club Thurs
day night and, despite the Carolina
Trinity basketball game as a worthy
rival for attendance honors, some 200
were present.
The affair was Chinese throughout.
from' the costumes to the . food, not
to mention the dancing. For days
those arranging the party had been
rifling the shops of Chapel Hill and
Durham to find just the costumes
desired, and Thursday night's party
was ample proof they did.
Folk who attended most of the par
ties at the country club say this was
the best party ever pulled off there.
The more skeptical will undoubtedly
take such statement with a grain of
salt and dismiss it as puerile exag
geration, but, be it as may, one thing
is certain the program was well ar
ranged, and went off without a hitch
and everybody had a good time. It
was a banefit affair and the proceeds
will go toward improving the club
grounds.
The party began shortly after 7
o'clock and from then on everything
went off in regular cabaret style.
Pretty girls, dressed in typical man
darin coats and trousers, served as
waitresses and did Chinese dances
between courses.
All the cabaret numbers were good.
Prof. Paul J. Weaver, as the Geisha
girl, and Prof. Otto Stuhlman, as Chi
nese laundryman, did a singing and
dancing act. Theodore Fitch and Mrs.
Learned essayed a soono from Mad
ame Butterfly and put it over in fine
shape.
Jules Welsh, a senior in the Uni
versity, in a female impersonation, did
an aesthetic dance that would make
Gilda Gray turn green with envy.
Keyser, a freshman, pulled off some
good jokes on University professors
and topped off the program with
some nifty clog dancing.
In the roles of Chinese dancing
girls and waitresses were:
Irma Green, Sue Byrd Thompson,
Elizabeth Hickerson, Frances Ven
able, Katherine Boyd, Lucy Lay, Ro
mana Galloway, Nellie Graves, An
nie Leo Graham, Cara May Graham,
May Culpepper, Genevieve McMillan,
Maybelle Penn, Adeline Denham, Bet
sy Winston, Mildred Walker.
Following the dinner, served in
Chinese style and the cabaret num
bers, there was general dancing, in
the ballroom, while in an adjoining
room others interested themselves in
a bazaar or played cards.
Those responsible for the pro
gram were: Prof, and Mrs. Paul J.
Weaver, Prof, and Mrs. S. II. Hobbs,
Jr., Prof, and Mrs. Harold Meyer,
Prof, and Mrs. Otto Stulhman, and
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hyde Pratt.
COMMUNITY CLUB HAS
HUSBANDS TO ATTEND
The Community Club, of which
Mrs. Walter Patton, is president, had
its regular monthly meeting at the
home of Dr. Chase, Tuesday night.
The members assembled in the east
room at eight o'clock, bringing their
husbands with them as guests of hon
or for the occasion. The meeting was
the first to which the men-folk has
been invited, but since the experi
ment proved successful other will
probably follow.
Dr. Chase was away on business,
so when the ladies paired off with
the gentlemen, Mrs. Chase had to bor
row Parson Mos3 to make it een.
However, Parson Moss is equal to
3mergencies; so there was no hind
rance to the reception.
Mrs. Lawrence, as chairman of the
meeting, turned the program over to
Mesdames Leavitt, and Caldwell, who
with seven of the younger members
presented a Tableau of Greek Groups:
Muse, Banchantes, Niobe and Daugh
ter, Warrior Maidens, etc. They weic
dressed in costumes of white and
green, the colors of the Club, the
-ights of the Hall and room were
also white and green.
For refreshments, the officers serv
jd cream, cake, mints, and coffee, '
ivhile for further delight a four pieco
orchestra, with Mrs. Winston at the
jiano, rendered several well chosen
selections.

Both Teams Exhibit Splendid
Floor Work, Excellent Passing
and Close Guarding
LARGE NUMBER OF FOULS
Crute and Dodderer Put Out On
Account of Personals Caused
by Close Guarding
Getting off to a flying start that
dazzled her opponent throughout the
first half, Carolina defeated Trinity,
Thursday night, in the "Tin Can'' by
a score of 31-20. The biggest crowd
that' has ever attended a basket ' ball
game in Chapel Hill found the hew
Indoor Athletic Building a vast 'im
provement over Bynum Gymnasium.
Dodderer got the tip-off and the
ball was scarcely in play before a
foul was called on Trinity. Cobb
dropped in one of his tries. Imme
diately following this Trinity commit
ted another foul and Cobb made good
one out of two chances. Spikes then
tied affairs up with a shot from the
floor. Green rang up Carolina's first
field goal, which was followed by one
by Cobb. From then on the lr
Heels held undisputed supremacy.
Cobb ended the half with a field goal
that went through the basket after
the whistle rang. The half ended
20-6.
The second half was hard fought
and at times slow. Simpson oponed
the scoring with a field goal and Ob
tain Green immediately offset it with
beautiful shot. Bullock was left
wide open and dropped in a goal
without the least sign of hurry. Cobb
then made the prettiest play of the
game when from off his finger-tips,
he bounced the ball into the basket
while he was on the run. The Trin
ity team exhibited splendid floor-
work and close guarding and the ball
see-sawed up and down the court
with an occassional attempt at the
basket. Crute left the game for vir-

Freshman Football
Squad Have Banquet
The numeral men of last fall's
Freshman Football squad met at
Gooch's Banquet Hall Wednesday
night at eight o'clock, for a ban
quet. All of the eighteen numeral
men who are in school at present
were present for the chicken dinner
which came out in piled up plates.
Other edibles related to chicken din
ners were also in abundance.
Charlie Norfleet, manager of the
Varsity Squad acted as toast master
and was ably assisted by E. C. Greg
ory, manager of the Freshmen Squad.
Pierce Matthews, Captain of next
year's Varsity was there, together
with Coach Bob Fetzer. Coach Fet
zer, Capt. Matthews, Gregory and
several members of the team made
short talks about the same, team
spirit, etc.
The whole object of the dinner was
to get the team together again and
get them to know one another better,
it was also a recognition of their ef
forts to make a better team, to pro
mote a better feeling among the in
dividual members, and get their ac
tive support in getting more mater
ial for the team from their own class.
BASKETBALL MANAGERS
A meeting of the managers of the
Fraternity and Dormitory Basket
Ball League was held Wednesday
night and several points which had
been under discussion were settled.
The first point cleared up was that
regarding the men who played in the
Mars Hill game. It was decided that
in the light of the purpose of Intra
Mural athletics, the Mars Hill-Carolina
game should ba interpreted as
a varsity game, thereby making the
men who participated in that game
ineligible for Intra-Mural basket ball
this season. Rule four, which makes
these men ineligible, says: "A man
who participates in a varsity or first
year game the ensuing season shall
not be eligible for the sport of that
season." The decision in regard to
the men who played in this game
takes effect immediately.
It was also decided that a man
must register 48 hours before he pnr
ticipates in a game. A Registration in
cludes filling out a registration blank
and turning same in at Intra-Mural
office. If one team plays a man who
is ineligible, it gives the opposing
team a chance to contest the game.
