Vol. XXXII, March 7, 1924. No. 40
How an athletic team will adver
tise an institution! Bet that a Car
olina graduate will now stand i
much better chance of getting a po
sition around Atlanta.
That team certainly did acquit
themselves in fine style as a basket
ball quint. Made off with three first
places on the All-Southern too. The
other two players were given honor
able mention.
Now comes the touh part of col
lege life. Yes, you guessed right
Examinations! Well we can at least
iook torward to tne bassbali season
which lies just ibeyond the exams.
In fact practice has already started.
And while we are handing out
bountiful nosegays to athletic teams
let us not overlook the wrestling
team. This young sport has made a
permanent home here largely due to
the efforts of Coach Shapiro and Man
ager Shackell. Had a successful sea
son too. Students should not leave
all the support 'of this team to Dean
Paulsen.
Lovesick students will no doubt wel
come the .news that the Tar Heel will
start a special column for emotional
heart trouble. And what's better
than all is that' a co-ed has been se
cured to edit this column. Her name
is kept a secret for a number of rea
sons. ':.'
The flannel dollar bill goes this
week to the campus celebrity who has
frisked out of stakes money at At
lanta. He could not get a bet on
Carolina the first night so he took one
on Washington and Lee and, inci
dentally, lost. The second game he
placed heavily on the Tar Heels, and
would have won, had not the holder
of stakes skipped the place with, in
cidentally, the money.
Our weekly suggestion: On the
event of the next big celebration why
not dynamite the fountain that does
not fount?
Speaking of celebrations how was
that for one the other night when 300
students marched all the way to
Durham? Guess the Bull ' City
thought that bedlam had broken
loose. The students certainly did
After the lavish words of praise
the.'championship Tar Heel team has
received from the Press, there re
mains little to bs said in their honor.
The Atlanta sport writers exhausted
their stock of superlatives describ
ing the Carolina machine as the
'acme of basketball perfection."
They gave lon;r accounts of Car
michael's all-round play, Cobb's un
:anny goal ' shooting, MacDonald's
ilever floor work and guarding, Dod
derer's steadiness, and Devin's splen
did work in filling Captain Green's
?hoes. One spoiling writer even won
dered what the team would have done
if Captain Winton Green had been
in the line-up.
There were no 'ifs' to the tourna
ment. Every victory was cleanly won
by the Tar Heels, as was the case
all season. Superior team work and
individual players, coupled with cool
nerve and an unconquerable fighting
spirit, marked their success. But
with all the fine things said about
the University quint, one or two
things were overlooked by the daily
papers. Little, if any credit, was
given to Norman Shepherd, the kid
coach, who had the difficult propo
sition befroe him of handling a team
of stars. With evrey man an exper
ienced player, Shepherd did not have
much coaching to do. His task was
to keep the men in condition, ward
off the bane of many winning teams,
the possibility of going stale, and to
choke any feeling of over confidence.
He and Doc Lawson diagnosed the
team's condition and played their
cards accordingly with the champion
ship as the reward.
At the beginning of the season,
when Shepherd was named as coach,
some sceptics hinted that he was too
young, that he would never be able
to ho'd the stars in check. He had
nothing to win and everything to lose.
If the team proved to be a winner,
the credit would be given the sys
tem installed ,-by Major Boye and to
the excellent material Shepherd had
to work with. Under this handicap,
Shepherd held the reins and directed
the best team Carolina ever had
through a long, gruelling season. And
now the general attitude seems to
be: "Well he should have done it,
any way."
Winton Green is another silent
hero to whom little attention has
been paid. Honored as captain of the
brilliant quintet, an injury to his
knee in the middle of the season pre
vented him from reaping the fruits
of his position. He was forced to
strain at the sidelines, knowing that
never would he be able to represent
Carolina on the basketball court
aain. It was a great satisfaction
to him to see his team mates run
away with the championship, and a
bitter disappointment that he could
not share in the work. As the At
lanta sports writer said if he had
played what might he not have done?
The season has closed for the team
that has set a high mark for future
Carolina teams to shoot at in playing
ability and clean sportsmanship. They
have established their undeniable
right to the southern championship,
and it's a pity the conferenre
prohibit a post season match with
Cornell or some other powerful team.
Their brilliant record will live for
ever in sport annuals, and while
praises are being sung to Carmich-
ael, Cobb, McDonald, etc., don't over
look the unsung contributors Coach
Shepherd, Captain Green, and Doctor
Lawson.
THE WILDERNESS

BOOKSELLER CONDUCTS
AN AUCTION SALE HERE
When students went for their mail
Wednesday afternoon they found an
old visitor in front of the Post Office,
nis truck loaded with books and of
fering them for sale to the highest
bidder. His name is R. E. Rutledge,
the same that he carried from Marlin.
Texas, the town with the deepest and
hottest artisan wells in the worldso
he said.
From full boxes he took books that
ranged all the way from the history
of Greece to the Ford joke book,
which he claimed was one on the
Ford, a little thing made up in Mich
igan, of tin. His prices ran from
three dollar bibles to the ten cent
joke book. .
About this time every year he pays
a visit to Chapel Hill. The rest of
the time he is out over the State, in
the winter time in the eastern part
and in the summer in the western.
When asked how he liked the stata
he replied, "I am still here and have
been here for seven years."
His is a peculiar case because there
is probably no other man in the South
selling books at public auction as
he does. In the past two years he
has sold over ten thousand Bibles at
public auction.
We notice with interest that tlvj
Shriek of the Desert has added an
other somewhat erratic nomad to his
tribe of curiosities. Dum Dum, Wed
nesday A. M., and the Shriek should
make a congenial triad.
Dum Dum's sense of both humor
and unity seems to possess an eccen
tric quality. Kis subjects and predi
cates delight to mouth peculiar noth
ings at one another across an impos
sible gulf, so to speak. Wi advise
that Aristotle and English 1A ba
consulted, dear Dum Dum, for there
is a certain guild-pride even among
toreadors that needs must be upheld.
- Perhaps D. D. is doing an imita
tion of Browning.
Bear with us to publish an item
for the benefit of the two or loss
faculty members who, we hope, some
times read our Colyum. Only pro
fessors may appreciate our wit in this
instance. Dr. Z. decided to take the
afternoon on, so to speak, the golf
links, so he wrote across his black
board: "I will not meet my classes
today. Z." Some wag erased the
"cl" in classes. We hold there's
more of truth than humor in this
jest.
This business of being a Colyumist
is a particularly disappointing ex
perience. One week ago we were
so greatly amused by a few shreds
of wit raveling from the co-ed house
that we, being in a jovial mood, de
cided to pass them on to our faith
ful readers. The incidents seemed
trivial parlor fancies to us, but to
our violent shock, did not appear so
mild to those whose wrists the joke
slapped. At least one-third of the
co-ed population has wrathfully clash
ed with us in verbal combat about
it; while another one-third has been
ardently busy telling us additional
tid-bits of mock-scandal on their sis
ters. Those choice morsels we shall
cogitate upon in secrecy. We cannot
fathom the peculiar profundities of
the feminine sense of humor, and we
refuse flatly to heat another caldron
of oil in which to scald our own hide
Yes, if you must be mathematical, the
remaining one-third we have assidu
ously dodged.
Personally, if we may be serious,
we opine that our co-eds are a more
or less winsome lot.
The Tar Heel, is really friendly, this
year, to the woman student. In fact,
in the next issue of the Tar Heel will
appear the first of a series of art
icles written by one of our most as
tute young ladies on the situations
that confront young ladies and their
friends at Carolina. We understand
that the articles will discuss the
problems of love and beauty in the
same frank and open manner that
Dorothy Dix and other'famous iove
and beauty experts find most suit
able.
"The Buccaneer" hardly seems a
fitting name for a successor to two
pirates. , You see, we sent in a name
that was rejected.
We have a most distressing cold,
and so shall end our efforts for to
day. ,.,
