Athletic Records Reveal Amazing Percentage of Victories Four Car;." . olina Teams Won Southern Laurels During Same Time. ' By Francis F. Eradshaw ' a) ... . . : ..... ... ..-,,. .. ..... .. ..' hi It is now half a decode since the S. A. T. C. furled its banners and marched into history and the gas mask and rifle v surrendered their places in college life ' to the ball and the bat Slightly more than a student generation has passed beneath the poplar since the" rallying call for varsity teams brought in a little ' handful of men for whom a whistle had long ceased to mean aught but "Fall ' in f It may be of interest, then, to re view the brief story of Carolina's teams since this struggling rebirth. ' Record in Football In football during the six seasons, 1919-24, the University has won twenty nine contests and lost twenty-one. Our teams have scored 479 points to their opponents 275. (These figures omit the . tied games and points won and lost in tie games. In football the Yale game is included in the contests lost, but the score is not included in points won by opponents). Twice during the six sea sons has the University held the state championship and once the South At lantic. Twice we lost to Virginia, three times to defeat her and once the game was tied. Won 74 Baseball Games In baseball from 1919-24 the Univer- . sity has won 74 games and lost 42, scor ing 735 runs to their opponents 487. Three times out of six chances the var sity has held undisputed the state cham pionship. With Trinity the score in : games stands six to two in Carolina's favor, with Wake Forest five to three, with State Ave to three, and with Vir ginia eleven to one! Brilliant Basketball Record ' In basketball the University occupies the slippery peaks of fame. During the five seasons since the "return to nor malcy" Carolina's marvelous teamwork has won 67 out of 86 games and has V scored 2982 to her opponents 1965, more than a 1000 lead. During the last three seasons our team has lost four games and won fifty-three! Four times in five years State Champions, and once run ners up and twice winners in the South Atlantic tournament, our basketball team has written a chapter in the ath letic history of the entire South that we can all be proud to read. And it has been a record in which the chroniclers ; have given equal space to the victory . t and to chivalric sportsmanship. I dare .... say there has been no finer expression of American youth than the physical per fection, the sheer intellectual brilliance, . the generous courtesy of our tournament games during the last three years. The . chorus of admiration from the sports writers of the South has been enough to satisfy the most fame-hungry alumnus. ' . Leader in Track Track suffered more from the disor ganization incident to the war than any other major sport. In 1919 and 1920 . the teams had shrunk to eight and twelve men and no regular coach was present to build up student interest In spite of this situation the five seasons of rec ord have given us twelve meets won as against eight lost We have managed to nose our five state championships and I a second place in the invitation confer- VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR THE TRUSTEES If N. C. C .W. Trustees Accept Resolu ; tion There Will Be Decrease In Number of Co-Eds Next Year. Co-eds will find doors closed 'to them in the future when applying for admit tance to the freshman and sophomore classes in the School of Liberal Arts under provisions of a resolution adopted , by the board of trustees today. The resolution, however, will have to be rati fied by the trustees in session at Raleigh, Saturday. The resolution, however, will have to be ratified by the trustees of the' North Carolina College for Women before taking effect. ' The purpose of the resolution, it has been explained, was to eliminate unnec essary duplication of work by the two stale institutions. Under existing rules of the trustees, girls who are residents of Chapel Hill have been accepted for the freshman and sophomore classes. Many non-resident girls moved to the Hill and established a residence, however, and thereby se cured admittance. The new resolution will prohibit either resident or non-resident girls from . entering the ... lower classes, the idea being that the co-eds should be enrolled at the North Caro lina College for Women. The resolution does not affect the en trance of women for ; the professional and graduate schools and the junior and senior academic classes. v Six Freshmen Chosen In Football Election. The following- freshiien were elected as sub-assistants for the football team in the election Monday: C D. Blanton. 225 votes; R. A. Shore, 197; Brown Shepherd, 194 ;;, W.. A. Vanstory, 167 A. N. Cowles, 152; Ed Hudgins, 139. ence meet of 1924 as contrasted with the fourth place, in 1921. Record in Tennis Tennis records have been hard to find. Those found are insufficient for statisti cal purposes.. The story may be fairly illustrated, however, by the two facts that in 1919 Carolina had no varsity tenuis team and in 1922 was State and Southern Intercollegiate Champions and defeated Lehigh and LaFayette in the North. Wrestling New Sport Intercollegiate wrestling is three years old at the University and boxing was just born last year. The wrestling team in its second season won six meets, lost three, and tied two. The boxing team, at their first blood-baptism, met and de feated the soldiers of Camp Bragg. ' 1 Intra-Mural Sports Paralleling this display of energy and vitality in varsity contests has gone an enormous increase in the number of stu dents to whom athletic privileges have been made available. This was done first by discontinuing the sacred practice of "canning." Instead of that, the squads have been kept just as large as possible, both for varsity and first year teams. Then last year came the full develop ment of intra-mural sports involving more than twelve hundred men. and such seasonal leagues as the winter quarter dormitory-fraternity basketball league involving twenty-six '"varsity" teams and possibly as many more scrub quints, each team playing a schedule of twenty-six games. Some Outstanding Facts Such has been the final result of the ups and downs of the last five years. After all allowance has been made for the enthusiasm of the patriot and after all bungles, defeats, and ill-breaks have been given due weight, I think it must be- admitted that the past five years' teams have carried their (monograms with honor and a . steadily advancing promise. . Athletic relations with State College have been resumed; the Thanks giving game has come to the "Hill"; "Chuck" Pharr crossed Old Eli's goal line; Carolina won all baseball games from Virginia save one; new state and University records were set in pole vault and javelin throw, and new University records in 120 yards high hurdles, 220 yard low hurdles, 1 mile run, 880 yard run, 2 mile run; "Mule" Shirley went from Carolina's ball club to the World Championship team; Holt Moore quali fied for semi-finals for Olympic team in 120 yard hurdles in competition with the best of the nation' in the Yankee Sta dium; Carolina has won 14 out of 22 possible State championships in four ma jor sports; four Carolina teams have won the . laurels of Southern pre-emi nence; and 64.4 per cent of all games in all sports including Yale games and poor seasons and everything have been victories for the. University. Surely such a record of victory and an untarnished reputation for clean sportsmanship is sufficient fruit of good management and high endeavor, a legiti mate basis for pride to alumni, and" an inspiration to undergraduates. EPISCOPAL CHURCH NEAR COMPLETION Contractor Has Finished Act ual Building. DEDICATED NEXT MAY Memorial Windows Being Made in London, England. The contractor, J. E. Crouse, of Greensboro, has completed the contract for the new Episcopal church and Par ish house, and as ; far as the building work is concerned, both are completed. There still remains the installation of the pews, altar, dorsal, chancel stalls, organ, pulpit, lectern, and the various ecclesiastical furniture, as well as the furnishing of the Parish house for church, school, and social uses.. ' The grounds are being graded and the walks laid as rapidly as possible and the lawn and "close" planted so as to present a harmonious appearance by easter, which comes on April 12 , this year. The window .glass, except in the Me morial windows, has come and. will be installed this week. The Memorial win dows are being designed and made by Horace Bacon, of London, England, and will . not be ready for some months. Meanwhile, the libestone travery where the windows are to be installed is closed by beaver board. The Diocesan convention is to meet in Chapel Hill in May at which time the church will be dedicated., ; The Parish and town are very grate ful to Mr., W. A. Erwin, of Durham, who has given the beautiful church and furnishings. The building and equiping of the Parish house has been accom plished by the j members of the . local parish. PRESIDENT CHASE AT MEETING OF TRUSTEES Agrees to Cut In University's, Appro-priations-Faculty to Handle i Drunken Students. Dr. H. W, Chase and Mr. C. T. Wool len attended the regular semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees held in Raleiith last Saturday. Dr. Chase tola the trustees that the University will cheerfully agree to a cut In the request for nermanent improvements and that a reduced appropriation for buildings will necessitate extending the expansion pro gram over a longer period than had been contemrilated. Governor McLean presided over the trustees as chairman ex-officio, for the first time today. Seventy-two, trustees were present at the annual meeting, which was held in the governor's office. Under a resolution adopted by the board, and which is expected to be rati fied by the trustees of the North Caro lina Collesre for Women, no co-eds will be admitted to the freshman and sopho more classes of the University. The. trustees anDroved a resolution adopted by the University faculty giv- imr the faculty executive committee more authority and power of discretion in cases of student intoxication. FRENCH PROF. GOES TO SEE SUN ECLIPSE Travels to New York With Five Stu dents Over Week-End to " See Total Eclipse. Dr. Henry Dexter Learned, accom panied by five University students, took a trip to New York City last Friday for a short week-end visit The party traveled in an enclosed Buick motor car. They left Chapel Hill at 11 o'clock Fri day morning, and, going through Rich mond, Washington, and Baltimore, they arrived in Philadelphia at 6 ajn. The main object of the trip was to see the eclipse which only reached totality in New York City. Unable to reach the big city in time, the party took train from Philadelphia to Newark, where they saw the eclipse, and thence to New York. The party stayed about five hours in New York and left Saturday afternoon for Philadelphia where they again con tinued their road trip. The group spent the night in Washington, D. G, and con tinued their trip on Sunday afternoon, reaching Chapel Hill at 4:30 Monday morning. The five students who accompanied Dr. Learned are: W. T. Rightsell, Greensboro; J. E. Sparks, Roberson-j ville; C. W. Parsons, Ellerbe; B. L. Cooper, Dunn; and C. R. P.urser, Char lotte. STUDENTS ENJOY SATURDAY'S FIRE (Continued from page one) for certain .whether the University - au thorities contemplate installing any, or more than one, bathtubs for the ladies. But the co-eds are resourceful creatures and it is said that they are holding on to the bathtub in order to assure them selves of at least one, if not two, in their new ' building. In case the University gives them three, it is said that they plan tb put the tub in a glass case and set it on a pedestal in the front hall of their new home. . ' Very little of Russell inn's equipment was lost. The male students saw to it that all that was reachable and carry able, was reached and carried to safety. Proud were the students that were so lucky as to find a pair of pink silk pa jamas or even a lone flesh-colored silk stocking, and ' such trophies were car ried from the building with joy and exul tation, to be cherished as memories of the burning of .Russell inn. - It has also been announced that the fire started from a defective, overheated flue. The males' pet theory has been found unsupportable. It has been found that the co-eds, who are said to smoke, were not so careless as to flick cigar ette ashes behind the radiators, or so depraved as to go sneaking up into the attic to do their inhaling. Of course ihe boys express profound sympathy, for the, co-eds, and especially for those who were, so unfortunate as to lose their belonging. But they are not, judging from opinions freely ex pressed, sorry that the inn has gone. The majority of them say that they1 wish it had gone up long before. Saturday.' Last year, when the old Pick, the town's only movie and the sole center of amusement burned down, the students were loud in their lamentations over its loss, and were unable to see why so useful an insti tution as the Pick had to be consumed by the fire-god, instead of, an institution so, worthless and utterly useless as Rus sell inn. Now the students have a new Pick, And now Russell inn. has gone. Satur day many students wanted to take up a collection, hire all the busses In town, and ship the co-eds )tb Greensboro "where they belong." But the women have a brand new building being prepared for them, and the students rejoice that, any how, the money has already been set aside for it, and that no more of the money meant for 100 per cent he-man males will have to be turned over to the co-eds. - HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL RACE STARTS Eleventh State High School Cham pionship.

STATE COLLEGE MAKES IT WARM FOR WRESTLERS ,; ( Continued from page one). ro had Blankenship " pitted against State's representative, Harrell. These two men were very evenly matched and after ten minutes' solid wrestling, the referee announced Harrell to be the win ner on time. "K. 0." Warren, 175-pounder, went on the mat against Nicholson, State's man. Toward the beginning of the match, Warren secured a pretty fall. However, Lthe State man wriggled off the mat be fore his shoulders were pinned. After this, both contestants, vainly tried to throw each other, and the bout con sisted of straight wrestling until the ten minute period was up. The decision was awarded to Nicholson on time., v ; Lockhart went on the mat for the first time last Friday night when he- met State's unlimited weight, Lamb. Lock hart made a most creditable showing and the audience witnessed a speedy heavy weight match. Lamb won on time. The team has its first home meet Sat urday night when Concord Y comes here.

In fact, one of the broadest planks in his platform for the nomination was his, op position to the Klan, It has been stated in some quarters that his stand on this question lost him a tremendous number of votes in the primaries. Dr. Hamlett Is coming to speak in the place of Judge Henry W. Grady, who was at first asked by the DI committee headed by S. F. Jones, to make the talk.
