Three Games
Before Atlanta
Vol. XXXII
STATE COLLEGE
HANDED DEFEAT
BY 44-9 SCORE
The Team From West Raleigh
Is Unable to Locate the
Basket
CAROLINA FRESHMEN LOST
With the Captains of both teams
vnable to play, Carolina defeated N.
., State last night down in "Tin
Can" by the score of 44-9. Green
-was still unable to be in uniform and
Captain Johnston, State's star player,
has been out of the last several
games due to a sprained ankle re
ceived in the State-Wake Forest
game.
The Wolf-pack was unable to find
the basket for a single field goal dar
ing the first half and secured bat
two measly foul goals. The Tar
Heels played by far a better brand
of ball during the first part than dur
ing the latter half, but were, at all
times, complete masters of the
floor.
Carmichael opened the scoring with
a ne?.t field goal, but failed to ring
up another floor shot until the finale.
The playing was confined almost en
tirely to Carolina's end of the court
and State devoted its attention large
ly to guarding. The West Raleigh
boys called for time in the first half
-when they found the score standing
18-1 and the Tar Heels in the midst
of a shooting spree. Shortly after
wards the half ended with the count
of 21-2.
Dickens was the outstanding player
for State. Two of his- three held
hots were of the spectacular 1 ind
and were equal to any of Carolina's
sensational attempts. Cobb lead in
scoring with Carmichael trailing him
as a close second. "Step On 'Km";
Dodderer, although failing to locate
the basket, played his usual excellent
.game at center and played havoc with
State's passing game.

FRESHMAN GAME
The Carolina freshman outfit lack
ed ability enough to down the young
State College five and consequently
had to accept a 20 to 10 defeat at
the hands ;of Coach Sammy Home
food's charges. The whole game was
f' .I'.c red by poor floor woi-k ai:l in
ability to find the basket throughout.
The visitors played a bit better game
than the Tar Babies and deserved
the win. However the game was void
ai any spectacular basketball on
cither side and both teams showed a
lack of teamwork and shooting abil
ity. The first half ended with the score
standing 11 to 3 in favor of State.
Carolina did not make a single field
goal during the first half, her three
points coming as a result of free toss
es. However in the second half the
Tar Babies did better, scoring 7
points to the visitors 9.
The only Carolina man who seem
ed to have any luck on the basket
was Dill, who pocketed the ball four
times, two of which were from ths
floor. Hackney was the only other
man to find the goal more than once,
but both his shots were from the
foul line.
For State, Watkins was high rcor
er, having four field goals to his
credit. Hooks followed him with two
field goals and two free shots.

Track Squad Works
For Asheville Meet
Coach Bob Petzer is busy getting
his track team in shape for the com
ing big relay carnival which is to
be held in Asheville on March 1.
Practice goes on daily in spite of
rain as Coach Bob has a board track
at his command when the weather
interferes with outdoor practice.
Coach Bob considers the coming
meet in Asheville as ihe best op
portunity that has been presented to
the state and the south in a long
while to put track on the map in
the South and thinks that all the
' colleges and universities in the South
-1 1 1 ....
snuuiu co-operate ana really en
deavor to make the meet a big suc
cess. He agrees with sport writers
and critics that track is the weak
est sport in southern athletics and
that track officials should help to
put this sport on a higher footing
than it is at present.
Coach Bob has received letters from
track fans and officials over the state
suggesting that a conference on
track be called to meet in some town
in the state, preferably Greensboro,
Charlotte or Raleigh, to discuss plans
for placing track on a higher basis.
He thinks this idea is a good one
and hopes that it will finally ma
terialize into something more defi-'
nite.
The program of the meet in Ashe
ville has already been announced. It
will be. held in the Hippodrome buil
ding which is ideally suited for the
purpose. It is a riding academy and
has a seating capacity of 2,500. It
has a dirt footing and is an admir
able place for track activities.
There will be individual events but
emphasis will be placed on the re
lays as they appeal more to the spec
tators. The relays will be of a dual
nature and an attempt will be made
to match known rivals. Medals will
be awarded to first, second, and third
' 1 1 ivrntimiY
the relays and points score.
The events as announced arer 50
yard dash; 50-yard low hurdles; 440
yard dash; E80-yard dash; mile run;
high jump; shotput; broad jump;
two-mile four-men team, one-mile

relay. The first three events are
limited to three men from each in
stitution. Di Society Debates
Birth Control Bill
The question of birth control struck
a responsive chord in the members of
the Di Society last Saturday night.
There was much lively discussior on
the subject. Every time each speak
er finished his speech, several would
rise and clamour for recognition. In
fact it was so interesting and so
many more wanted to speak on the
question that it was decided to have
the same question on the program
next Saturday night, when it will
be voted on. Because of the Carolina-William
& Mary game, the so
ciety was adjourned early.
C. R. Jonas, reporting for a com
mittee which was appointed recent
ly to investigate the possibility of
securing a meeting room for the So
ciety in the new Graham Memorial
building, reported that as the plans
now stood, it would be impossible for
the society to get an individual room.
Hramr. he reported that he had
been advised that if a committee were
appointed by the society, this com
mittee would be guaranteed a hear
ing before the building committee of
the building at their next meeting.
The society voted to appoint such a
committee, but the appointment was
deferred until next meeting.
The whole meeting was "arried on
to the tune of a base saxophone in
the music room above the hall J. W.
Deaton was appointed, tj make an
effort to have this noise stopped ev
ery Saturday night during the time
of the society meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting,
C. H. Davidson gave a 'very inter
esting and humorous lecture to the
freshmen, giving them much h-.'lpful
advice to guide them thru their first
year at college. He advised them es
pecially to go out for the Booloo
Club. .
W. J. Cocke acted as president in
he absence of C. A. Peeler.
A regional conference of presidents
md secretaries of the local alumni
associations ' of ten counties will bs

TAR HEELS WIN
FROM WILLIAM
AND MARY FIVE
Victory Practically Cinches thd
South-Atlantic Title for
Carolina
PILE UP A HEAVY SCORE
Carolina practically cinched the
South-Atlantic title when she de
feated William and Mary College
Saturday Night. The victory over
the Virginians marked the fourteenth
consecutive triumph of the undefeated
University five over college opponents
in this section. So far the team
shows no signs of staleness and the
ease with which they piled up the
54-16 score against William and
Mary is regarded by . most of the
campus cages and dopesters as a
sure sign that the Tar Heel will go
to Macon in good form and make a
great fight for the Southern cham
pionship. The game started off with al! the
ar-marks of a closely foug'ht ga'.ne.
The Indians scored over half of their
total score in the first few minutes
of play and ran neck and n;ck with
the Tar Heels for the first ten min
utes. Carolina finally unlimbered
her joints and struck her usual win
ning stride in time to run up a safe
lead, 29, before the first half end
ed.
The game was rough during the
latter half, and numerous fouls were
called on the University players for
committing the petty offense of
"running with the ball." The- Caro
lina team were far surer shots than
their opponents who attempted many
long distance throws at the basket.

RURAL ECONOMICS IS
BECOMING PROMINENT
The already well-known Depart
ment of Rural Social Economics at
the University is rapidly becoming
more prominent and is assuming a
position of leadership in its neld
among the colleges of the southern
states and of the nation. Many state
newspapers, especially the Greens
boro Daily News, have praised the
work done by this department, and
Collier's Weekly sometime fgo car
ried an article telling about the work
being done by Dr. Branson who is
the head of the Department of Rural
Social Economics at the University.
Dr. Branson has been in Europe for
several months studying the condi
tions in the rural district and has
been contributing interesting articles
based on his observations to ths news
papers of this state.
At the organization meeting of the
teachers of Rural Economics and So
ciology of the Southern States re
cently held in Birmingham, Profes
sor S. H. Hobbs, Jr., was -sleeted
President of the organization. The
University of North Carolina has tak
en the load in the South in the field
of Rural Social Economics, and sev
eral state universities which are plan
ning to establish such departments
are arranging to send their represen
tatives to Chapel Hill to study ut
first hand the work being done here.
The Young People's Interdenomina
tional Union of Chapel Hill will hold
its second quarterly social in the so
cial room of the Presbyterian Church
Friday, February 22, 7:30 P. II. Ev
erybody is cordially invited. No ad
mission; plenty of eats; lots of g''rls
and a good time!

Campus Delivery of
Mail to Begin Soon
Since the installation of mail boxes
in the dormitories is now completed
delivery on the campus will start
sometime this week, The boxes will
be located on first floor of each build
ing. There will be one box for each
room regardless of the number "of
occupants. All the boxes have com
bination locks. The combination for
the box for your room may be obtain
ed by going to the superintendent of
Buildings, in the basement of Alumni
Building.
As soon as delivery in the dormi
tories is started, the boxes in the
Post Office will be rented to one per
son only. Where there are two or
more in the box now, the occupants
will have to decide among themselves
which one is to get his mail there,
since Post Office regulations prohibit
more than one using the same box.
If the authorities are not-notified as
to whose mail is to be put in the box,
they will use their own discretion in
the matter and put only one person's
mail in it.
The students are requested by the
Postmaster to co-operate with the
Post Office in getting this system
working by notifying those who write
them of their change in address. If
the letters do not have the dormitory
address on them they will be held up
until the address can be looked up in
the Student Directory. The letters
correctly addressed will be given pre
ference over all other mail, so it will
be more to the advantage of the stu
dent to get his letters correctly ad
dressed than it will to anyone else.
There will be two deliveries each
day except Sunday; one in the morn
ing and one in the afternoon. The
morning delivery will bring the mail
that came the night before and the
morning papers and the first class
matter that comes in in the morning.
The afternoon delivery will have the
noon mail and the rest of the morning
mail. Packages will be gotten in the
usual manner at the Post Office on
presentation of the slip.
Phi Society Talks
About Poker Cases
The Phi Society was aroused last
Saturday night when a bill was in
troduced denouncing the action of the
town authorities in arresting students
charged With poker playing. The
discussion that followed the intro
duction of the bill was characterized
by sweeping generalities and a sti ik
ing lack of knowledge of the facts
connected with the recent arrests.
Those who were urging the passi ve
of the bill pointed out that no civil
officers had any right to come on the
University campus unless given spe
cial permission by the President. They
further argued that all campus jur
isdiction should rest in the hands of
the student council. Opponents of
the bill said that all pokei playing
must cease by any means -student
council or civil authorities. The de
bates see-sawed back and forth un
til finally a motion was made to ta
ble discussion until next Saturday
night, so as to allow the members
to attend the Carolina-William and
Mary basketball game.
At this juncture, however several
members objected to adjourning.
They tried to keep the Society in ses
sion but the ones who wanted to at
tend the game out-voted them and so
the Assembly adjourned.

Grail Dance Comes
This Saturday Night
Following its usual custom of giv
ing two or three dances each quar.
ter the Order of the Grail will giv
a dance Saturday night in the gym
nasium.
Altho there were several other at
tractions on the Hill at the same time
the last Grail dance was given,
proved to be a very good dance. The
coming dance is expected to be i
real function as there will be num
erous visiting girls to increase the

Marionettes Please
Two Packed Houses
lwo packed houses were highly
leaser' , -ith Tony Sarg's Marionettes
in Gerrard Hall Friday, Fh. 15. The
matinee, which consisted of "Little
Red Riding Hood" and "Hansel and
Gretel," was popularly received by
young and old alike. The evening per
formance, which was Tony Sarg's
adaption of Cervantes' masterpiece,
Don Quixote," was even more popu
lar.
Both performances were all that
could be asked of marionettes. The
characterizations were so good ml
the characters themselves were so
leverly manipulated that the lasting
impression is that you saw "Don
Quixote" acted on the human stage.
The puppet stage is an optical illus
ion so constructed that the actors ap
pear to be many times larger than
their normal size. The audience is
bewildered when the human giant ap
pears on the stage after the perform
ance. Monopoly Days Are
Now Gone Forever
Time was -when Chapel' Hill was" et
the mercy of monopoly, and students
were charged to the excess of endur
ance. "Them days is gone forever."
Now the town can boast of its two
excellent cafeterias, its three first
rate drug stores, a jitney service that
is just the opposite of monopoly, and
many other establishments that lead
to reasonable prices.
Three good grocery stores keep
prices within reach and assure ser
vice. Only recently a new shoe re
pair shop brought a big reduction in
the price cf keeping your soles in
shape. Froai the appearsneo of things
this new shop is doing an excellent
business and hasn't gone to the wall
because of reduced rates yet.
To "Pendy," with his faithful ser
vice and his sensible cut prices to
Durham, goes the laurel for assuring
the students their moneys' worth in
transportation. He brought the rate
down from one big eagle to fifty
cents and has made it even lower with
his tickets.
Miss Johnson, the lady who has
made a great success of the cafeteria
game in Durham where she is man
ager of the "Y. W.," has recently ac
quired the pride of "Nick's" heart,
the Carolina Cafeteria, and is apply
ing her talents. The difference is
easily seen. Many are those who will
watch with gusto two experts play
the game as only "less femmes" can.
There are a number of people who
believe Chapel Hill fully large enough
to support the two best cafeterias in
the state. Others say "go to it la
dies, and may the best man win."
Taking advantage of a "warm" sit
uation and pocketing the change is
what two young Asheville aspirants
for the pressing business have done
since the "Youths' Companion", and
universal friend, the Pickwick, went
;ip in what Webster calls fire "the agi
nation of sudden or violent pardon."
The old fish vendors shack now lodges
more than mere pressers, it hold the
hopes of youth and "our" pants, may
fate preserve them. These two youth
ful dyers, and cleaners, should bo al
lowed to pick up the marble3 and
pocket the change They pressed
suits for fifteen cents for two days
so that they could prove that they
meant business, and pressing busi
ness. Other competing concerns are the
banks, the book stores, the rofts and
boarding houses, the furniture stores,
the print shops, the clothing --.lores.
No. 35
Washington's Birthday Orator
Devotes Entire Speech in
Replying to Charges
CLAIMS CHARGES UNJUST
Takes Up Each Statement in the
Tar Heel Article and Hits
at Reporter
By Malcolm M. Young
Unnirsvcy students heard a Wash
ington birtliday oration fully spiked
with a West Point punch last Mon-
lay morning in chapel.
General A. J. Bowley, command
ant of Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, bit
terly assailed among other things
'The Tar Heel" and the Tar Heel re
porter who published a recent s;ory
to the effect that the General had
made some startling, statements in
Raleigh regarding radicalism in this
country, particularly in its colleges
and among its collage : professors.
The General stated that the gtorv
misquoted him and lhat it did not
present his statements in a manner
to do him justice. -
Faculty Members Agree
Following the delivery of General
Bowley's speech, the reporter sought
out interviews with four University
men who were present at the meet
ing of North Carolina Commercial
Secretaries which the Fort Bragg
commander addressed recently. All
four of these men, when asked for
statements, declared that the story
which appeared in "The Tar Heel"
was "substantially correct.' All four
of these men heard General Bowley
make the statements as summed up
n the recent issue of "The Tar Heel,"
and as secured from the Raleigh
News and Observer. The men are
Chester D. Snell, who still insists
that General Bowley abused hirn for
period of at least five minutes;
Prof. Walter J. Mathorly, of the De
triment of Economics; Prof. C. T.
Murchison, of the Department of
conomics; nnd Prof. S. II. Ilobbs,
jof the Department of Rural Social
Economics.
General Bowley had been asked
some time ago to visit the Univer
sity and deliver an address in com
memoration of George Washington's
birthday. Since the recent episode
in Raleigh it has been hinted around
the state that the General might let
loose a bomb of sensation when ad
dressing the University students, and
consequently newspaper men were
present who covered the spaech for
the state's leading dailies. The news
papermen were not disappointed.
His talk was chiefly a detailed an
swer of the Tar Heel article. He was
in excellent oratorical form, and pos
sessed a very eloquent delivery, well
flavored with sarcastic wit and in
vective, mainly directed at "The Tar
Heel" and its reporter.
In beginning his address, the Gen
eral announced that he had expected
to speak on a subject "close in har
mony with the twenty-second of Feb
ruary," and continued, "but, unfor
tunately, recent publications in your
own college paper have somewhat
cramped my style, and with the in
telligence of this jury I will ask you
to permit me to run through just a
little bit of the charges that have
been made, and to answer them some
what in detail."
Assails the Tar Heel
At this point of his spsech, the
General held out the Tar Heel art
icle and read its headline: "Gener
al Bowley scheduled here." He then
made a statement to the effect, fol
lowing a quotation from the end of
the article relative to the manner in
which the General would handle the
situation, that he would handle it
"with his usual frankness and abso
lute reeard for the truth." In re
futing a statement to the effect that
there were "three avenues" for the
General to take, he declared; "Of
course the young man who wrote that
overlooked a few of the by-trails that
would be followed by a man who is
accustomed to blazing . his way
through a pioneer forest."'
Continuing, he said:
"Now we come to the next head
line, 'Man Who Called College Hot
Beds of Radicalism Speaks in Chr.pcl
February 18th. He did not say it."
General Bowley, after a reference
to the Tar Heel's statement that he
appeared before the North Carolina
Commercial Secretaries' Association
