COACH BOB GIVES
TRACK'S HISTORY
Speaks to Freshman and Varsi
ty Candidates.
CAROLINA RECORD GOOD
University Won State Championship
Past Three Years.
At a meeting of both varsity and
freshmen track men last Wednesday
night, Coach Bob Fetzer gave to the men
a brief review of Carolina's track his
tory during the last ten or twelve years.
Coach Fetzer. explained that during
the ears 1910 to '13 Carolina track made
good progress. This, was during the ad
vent of Coach Cartmell, who for three
years was head coach for Carolina. Cart
mell is now coaching track at Penn
State University.
After Cartmell left Carolina track
slumped and did not regain its import
ance until 1923, when Coach Fetzer took
over the coaching reins.
Since 1922 track has developed rap
idly until it has regained its rightful po
sition in major athletics. In that year
the Tar Heels lost only one dual meet,
which was won by State College with
only a margin of two points. Carolina
has won the state championship meet
for the last three years, and scored more
points in the last years state meet than
the rest of the colleges combined. In
'22 and 23 two triangular meets were
lost outside the state, one to Clemson
and the other to Georgia.
In 1924 Carolina won all the dual, tri
angular, and State Championship meets.
She finished second in the S. I. C. invi
tation meet held at Charlottesville, Vir
ginia taking first place. There were
seven participants In this meet
During last season eight of the Uni
versity records were broken by members
of the track team. Some of these records
have been established for nearly ten
years.
" For this year the present plan is to
develop a large number of men so as to
have a well-balanced team, one which has
the ability to score heavily, not only In
first places but in second and third
places. This will be perfected before the
regular season begins. All candidates
will be given early training when those
in charge will have time to give their at
tention to every man. Later on the
coaches will be forced to give all their
attention to those men who have shown
track ability and who will constitute the
team in competition. '
Dr. Henderson Now
In English "Who's Who"
Dr. Archibald Henderson, head of the
mathematics department, delivered an
address before the New England society
of Charleston on Saturday, December 20.
This society was organized before the
Revolution and is one of the oldest of
its kind in the country. Many prominent
men of the past have been associated
with it.' The annual address two years
ago was delivered by President Coo
lidge. '
Dr.' Henderson has also been recently
notified that his name and a short
sketch of his life and work will appear
in the new edition of the English "Who's
Who." This is considered a great honor
as only a very few Americans of inter
national fame are given the distinction.
WEIL LECTURES
WILL BE GIVEN
BY WM. WHITE
Popular Kansas Editor and
Publicist Secured by Lec
ture Committee.
TO LECTURE IN APRIL
Announcement Will Probably Carry
Much Interest to Lovers of Let
ters and Literature.
An announcement of great interest to
the University and the State is that the
Weil Lecture Committee has secured for
ttie Weil Lectures in April no less dis
tinguished and interesting person than
William Allen White, perhaps America's
most popular editor and publicist. Mr.
White's latest volume is a remarkable
interpretation of Woodrow Wilson pub
lished by Houghton Mifflin Company and
lifts Mr. White a notch higher in the list
of American letters and literature. So
well is the volume written that one sits
down and tends to read it from begin
ning to end as an absorbing story of
personalities and social color. His in
terpretation of. the South as a molding
influence on Mr. Wilson is not only com
prehensive but beautiful.
Mr. White is, of course, known as the
vigorous editor of the Emporia Gazette,
and a long list of best sellers, including
a volume from MacMillan in the last
few months on politics and citizenship.
But perhaps his recent campaign for
Governor of Kansas on an independent
ticket, bis vigorous writings on cur
rent problems, and his fine personality
will be the things which appeal to those
who are fortunate enough to hear him
at Chapel Hill, to read his articles in
The Journal of Social Force and his
final volume published by the University
of North Carolina. Press.
It is hoped that 89 stimulating a per
sonality and so clear-cut thinking will
interest the students of :the University
and break through their static lack of
interest in matters of intense social in
terest in which the state at large is both
interesting and progressing.
PROF. KOCH BACK .
FROM NEW YORK
Saw Seventeen Plays During
Nine Days.
SEVER AL CONFERENCES
Three Carolina Alumni Are Now On
( - 7 ', Broadway.
By W. S. McIve
Professor Frederick H. Koch returned
recently from a holiday trip to New
York City where he visited a number of
bis friends of the theatre and saw
many of the outstanding productions of
the season. : r '
Among the" prominent ' people with
whom Prof. Koch conferred on his an
nual Christmas visit to New York were
Professor Baker, of Yale, Hatcher
Hughes, Maxwell Anderson, and Law
rence S tailings. v
Professor Baker, formerly of Harvard,
lately accepted the head of the Depart
ment of Drama at Yale with an endow
ment of $1,000,000. From this fund a
new theatre will be built at Yale which
will exceed anything of its kind, sn the
country. Prof. Baker has invited the
Carolina Playmakers to' play there next
fall.
Maxwell Anderson and Lawrence
Stallings are the co-authors of "What
Price Glory," which is playing to stand
ing room. Maxwell Anderson hails from
North Dakota, and was a student at the
University of North Dakota when Pro
fessor Koch was at the head of the Da
kota Playmakers there, appearing in
some of his productions, Lawrence Stal
lings is an alumnus of Wake Forest Col
lege, and was on the staff of the 2Vk
York Herald for a while.
Hatcher Hughes, alumnus of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, whose play,
"Hell-Bent for Heaven", dealing with
the North Carolina mountaineers, won
the Pulitzer Prize last year, has written
another play, "Ruin't". which will be
produced at the Frovincetown theatre.
This play also portrays the life of Caro
lina mountaineer. "Hell-Bent for Heav
en" has been translated into French and
Is now being produced in Paris. ,
In addition to a number of confer
ences Professor Koch had time 1 enough
to see 17 plays in the nine days 'he spent
there. He stated that the Sea son was
remarkable for its variety of really ex
cellent plays both tragedies and come
dies. Of the best tragedies, Eugene
O'Neill has threes "Desire, Under the
Elms", a New England farm tragedy;
"S. S. Glencairon", and ','Tlie Emperor
Jones". "What Price Glory", by Law
rence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson,
Is playing to standing roomi and bids
fair to continue. y y

WORK BEGUN ON
NEW METHODIST
CHURCH BUILDING
The New Church Will Cost a
Total of $220,000 When
Completed.
724 METHODISTS HERE
Students Show Great Interest In Ac
tivity of Big Steam Shovel
Doing Excavating Work.
The construction of the much needed
new Methodist church Is now well un
der headway. Each year the number of
Methodist students has increased until
it , has become necessary to build an
other and larger 1 church. 1 This year
there are 724 Methodists registered in
the University. ' !
The joint commission representing
North Carolina Methodism and created
for the purpose of building an adequate
Methodist church on the Hill let the
contract to Jewell and Riddle for the
sum of $166,550. This contract only in
cludes the church and the connecting
unit, and does not cover the lighting,
heating, organ, and furniture. The tor
tal cost of the lot, church furnishings,
and organ will amount to about $220,
000. Of this amount the boards have
appropriated one half, and the remain
der is to be raised by subscriptions
taken throughout the state. About $50
000 of this amount has already been sub
scribed, the remainder is to be sub
scribed the coming year.
Mr. C. D. Rigsbgee, contractor of Duij-
ham, is doing the excavating. He is us
ing an Erie .Steam Shovel, which scoops
three-fourths square yards of dirt at
each dip, and which keeps about fifteen
teams and trucks busy. The dirt is be
ing placed between Peabody Building
and the new hotel. Much interest in
the work of the shovel has been dis
played by the students and the big snort
ing iron monster has a gallery of inter
ested spectators from early morning un
til late in the afternoon.
The church is being built in one of the
most advantageous spots of Chapel Hill,
as it will occupy the places where the
old Barbee house and store stood. The
old store has recently been used as the
Buccdnetr "office. ' ' ' ; ' "
It will be built of colonial architec
ture, its spire rising 170 feet above the
ground. The architect, Mr. James. Gam
ble Rogers, of New York, is taking great
interest in the work. It will be built of
commo& red brick, the connecting unit
extending across the walkway through
the church yard to the library.
A brief ceremony was held last Tues
day at noon, when the ground was
broken. The exercises were conducted
by Rev. Walter Patten; among others
present were Mrs. Patten, Robert L.
Strowd, Mrs. Algernon S. Barbee, Mrs,
Marvin Stacy, E. W. Knight, L. R. Wil
son, and Howard W. Odum.
MAGAZINE BOASTS
A STRONG STORY
Content of Merit and a Good
Cover.
IS : LIKE BURLI N G T O N
But It Succeeds In Being Bigger and
Better.
Like the municipality of Burlington,
N. C, the Carolina Magazine aspires to
be bigger and better; unlike said municl-
nality. The Carolina Magazine is succeed
ing, progressing at least arithmetically.
We regret that the present editors may
not guide its destiny for several years
to come. ' ,".
The December issue comes from the
press in an especially- attractive cover
and boasting a content of merit.' It is
remarkably well balanced.
Robbins Fowler's poems show versa
tility and ability; his metrical arrange
ments are rather unsure and he is guilty
of several strained rhymes, but Athet is
one of the best undergraduate poems we
have ever seen. Cindy, a short story by
Randolph Spear, is a real short story.
The dialect is inconsistent, but not
enough so to detract. The Playmakers
might do well to look into the plot It
Is a potentially good one act play. The
Three-Wayt King Is a trivial nothing but
very well written in imitation of Sand
bur. The Book Margin Ballet is a me
diocre result of an original idea. The
Pig and the Blind Goddess won't keep
sleenv person awake, but it is amus
ing and concludes in a blind-alley which
is totally obvious or unexpected, we
can't decide which.
Malcolm Younit subtley suggests that
he has discovered something in Modern
Realism in Chancer' Prologue. Perhaps
he has; If so, he has concealed it pretty
thoroughly. He does show a gratifying
familiarity with Chaucer and manages
a few bits of refreshing satire. The

TAR BABIES HAVE
A GOOD SCHEDULE
Play Nineteen Games During
1925 Season.
SHEPHERD IS COACHING
Two All-State Men Are Out for
Positions.
The freshman basketball squad will
play 19 or more games this season. The
present schedule is probably the best the
freshmen nave ever naa. adout iuu men
were out at first but the number has de
creased to some extent.
The season opens January 15, the game
being with Durham High School, at Cha
pel Hill. On or before February 16 the
squad goes to Virginia, the trip lasting
until the 21st. Six games will be played,
four with" Virginia colleges" and two with
prep schools. Four games will be played
at Chapel Hill after the return from
the Virginia trip.
All the games have been definitely ar

expected that one game will be played
with the Cavaliets during the northern
trip, and one later at Chapel lull.
Carlisle Shepard, captain fo the Caro
lina basketball team in 1921, is coaching
the freshmen. Shepard has an abund
ance of good material from which to
pick. . ', '
The squad has been working hard,
mostly on signal practice and goal shoot
ing. Practice games have not been held
and no man is sure of a place as yet.
The first string team will not be picked
for some time yet
Two all-state men, Neal and Delancy,
both of Reidsville, are out for the guard
positions. Morris of Charlotte and Far-
rell of Woodberry Forest are also out
for guard. Vanstory, of Greensboro,
Skinner, of Smithfield, and Makepeace,
of Sanford, are working hard at forward.
Crinkley, of Raleigh, and Newcomb, a
New York man, are trying for the center
position. ,
CAROLINA DOES NOT
PLAY YALE IN 1925
University of Georgia Will Probably Be
Played Instead If Game Can
Be Arranged.
Announcement of the 'schedule of the
Yale Bulldogs for 1925 brings out the
information that Carolina will not open
the season for them as she has for the
past few years, Middlebury, a small Ver
mont coUesre, filling the place in tbe
schedule once occupied by Coach Fet
zer's charires. 1
Mr. Woollen, graduate manager Of
athletics, stated last fall that he wfts
considering this move on the part of Car
olina and hoped to be able to book some
strong southern team such as Georgia in
the rdace of this frame, playing it later
In the season, however, and alternating
between Chapel Hill and the opposing
home field. As yet no definite infor
mation has been given out as to who
will take the place of Yale on Carolina s
schedule but it is presumed that this sug
gested move will be made.

Miss May r Peterson, known all over
the world as one of the greatest living
sopranos is to sing In Memorial Hall
at 8:30 o'clock tonight. Miss Peterson
is very well known to North Carolinians
having sung in the state on many occa
sions and having a host of friends and
admirers in most all of our cities. Her
charming manner and ' brilliant person
ality immediately win friends for her
wherever she appears, and her popu

New York six years ago where she has
been given the popular title of "The
golden girl of the Metropolitan ;". she
has sung the. leading roles In five of the
principle operas produced at the Metro
politan, and her duets with Caruso have
been hailed as the finest productions of
the N. Y. seasons. She has sung with
all of the largest orchestras in'this coun
try and abroad, and has given concerts
in practically all of the large cities In
the world. In her concerts she has the
record of responding to more encores
than McCormack, and as being the most
Nordica, who was so liberal in pleasing
her public.
The critics have praised Miss Peterson ,
in the highest terms "a voice of un
equivocal beauty", "a perfect' singer",
"rare personal charm", "the wonders of
that glorious voice", "an artist of the
highest rank", "a lyric voice of extreme
purity and caressing sweetness", "real
musical feeling and great intelligence",
"a real and full-bodied soprano, well
placed and of truly musical timers."
Practically every critic has commented
on Miss Peterson's personal charm and
beauty, the Baltimore Sun calling her
the' most beautiful woman on the concert
stage. She is a native born American,
in private life the wife of a prominent
colonel In the recent war. miss reierson
will stay at the Carolina Inn while In
Chapel Hill, and expects to remain from
Thursday night until Monday morning.
Mr. Weaver will act as her accompanist

Members of Faculty
Address Alumni Clubs
A large number of alumni associations
held meetings during the holidays. Dan
iel L. Grant, secretary of the General
Alumni Association, reports that all the
meetings were taken with the seriousness
of purpose that has characterized the for
ward strides of this work in the past few
years.
Professor W. S. Bernard attended
meetings in Richmond, Va., and Lenoir
where he addressed the alumni of those
places. Dr. E. C. Branson addressed
the Wayne county alumni at Goldsboro
during the holiday period. W. N. Ever-
ette, president of the General Associa
tion, spoke to a gathering of University
men in Asheville, while W. L. Long, of
the class of 1909, addressed a meeting
In Charlotte. Dr. R. D. W. Connor will
speak before a meeting at Concord soon.
