Round Bouts Starting 8:30.
With Bill Cox, the Jack KearnS of
North Carolina and boxing promotor
at the University, confidently asserting
that he will have General Bowley, Gen
eral Albert Cox, President H. W. Chase,
and his excellency, Governor Angus
Wilton McLean, in ring-side seats, the
1925 boxing season opens tonight at
8:30 with ten three-round bouts with
Camp Bragg.
The rnain bout will be between Chief
Mayle, "heavyweight champion of the
Army, and Captain. 'Warren. Mayle rep
resented the United States in the Olym
pic games held in Paris. Another hard
contest will be between Battling Conway,
Lightweight champion of Fort Bragg,
and Tom Gallagher, Amateur Light
weight chamion of North' Carolina.
Those who witnessed the match here last
spring between Carolina and Fort Bragg
will be glad to know that Devero, the
Filipino who has boxed Pancho Villa
five times, will be here i and will box
"Piggie" Jarrell of Charlotte in the 110
class. ' .. ; '
The men have been working daily in
the Tin Can in preparation for the initial
match, and it is expected that they will
make a good showing. They have de
veloped very much in footwork, hitting,
and self defense.
General Bowley is said to have wired
for reservations for six reserved, ring
side seats, for the official Fort Bragg
party. General'Albert Cox is scheduled
to make a short talk from the Ting in
behalf of military training for college
boys.
The coming of General Bowley recalls
the "late unpleasantness" that occurred
between the General and Chester D.
Snell, of the University Extension Divi
sion last year. The Tar Heel carried a
story jot the affair for the students and
brought the General's wrath down upon
its head. Some students, recalling the
Bowley-Snell squabble have suggested a
round or two between these two gentle
men. Others assert that Snell will be in
the seats of honor with Mr. Bowley at
tonight's mix-up. '
The referee for the match tonight will
be Lieutenant Duff, who acted in that
capacity last spring. The ring will be
elevated two feet from the floor to enable
the spectators to obtain a good view.
There will be no admission charge for
students, but a collection will be taken
to help equip the team while on the
northern trip. .

Another Grail dance has been an
nounced. This will be given next Sat
urday night following the Duke Unl

sires have been expressed on the cam
pus for a dance that night and the Grail
members, desiring to have three dances
this quarter, have decided to hold their
next hop on the night of the Duke game.
The last Grail dance was proclaimed
by students as the best of the year, and
on the basis of that It is expected that
many boys will have girls down for the
coming dance. Besides there will be a
bevy of girls here for the Acacia danc'e
on Friday night and who will probably
stay over for the Duke University-Car
ollna basketball game on Saturday night
and the Grail dance. .

MUSTACHE SPREE
RETURNS TO HILL
The annual January-February
mustache-growing spell has hit the
Hill again this year, although as yet
it has not , attained the alarming
popularity that it generally reaches.
Sometime ago Rodolph Valentino,
shiek of shieks, returned from
abroad with a sprouted face, and the
local movement is blamed by many ,
on him. The Chicago barbers 'are
said to have struck , against the
Valentino mustache for fear that it
. would spread over the , country and
ruin their business: So far no no
tice of a strike has come from he
local tonsorial artists.
The mustache growing period here
is an almost annual affair and is
looked forward to by many old resi
dents who watch the antics of the
college youths with much amuse1
ment. For some strange reason, the
popular beard growing time here is
always during the first two months '
of the year.
A few deflections of effections in
the co-ed colony are the only serious -damage
reported to have resulted
from the movement. Some of the
gallants are being forced to grow
mustache in order to keep in the
race. Co-eds, they say, like mus
taches. Various reporters of , the Tab
Heel have compiled the following
list of some of the campus lights
who are in vogue: J. E. Shepherd,
J. E. Hawkins, Ed. Gregory, Rab
bit Bonner, Taylor Cheek, and Wal
ter Woodson. .

L. Craven, bridge engineer.
The A. S. C. E. meeting will close
about 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon;
... . i in
many or the memoers, nowever, win
probably stay over for the .quarterly din
ner and meeting of the Society for the
Promotion of Engineering Education at

Carolina section of this organization has
members at Duke, State college and here.

ties are George T. Seabury and H. P.
Hammond. Mr. Seabury is the national

LOUISE SAWYER DIRECTS
Play Reading Will Be Given In Ger
rard Hall Monday.
The class' in play production, under
the supervision of, the Carolina Play
makers, will produce "The Torchbearers"
on March 10th as its second studio pro
duction. "The Torchbearers", which is 'a
brilliant farce-comedy, has been selected
because of its amusing character and be
cause of the success its presentation has
met with elsewhere. The purpose in pro
ducing the play is two-fold: to discover
and train new actors and actresses, and
to offer local audiences something differ
ent from the usual folk-play program of
the Playmakers. The performance will
be given on the usual Playmaker basis,
regular season tickets to the Playmaker
performances being good for admission
to "The Torchbearers."
A reading of "The Torchbearers" will
be given in Gerrard Hall at 8:30 Monday
night, and try-outs for parts will be
held at 4:30 Wednesday, Feb. 11, in Ger
rard Hall. It is emphatically urged that
everyone come out for parts in the play;
no dramatic experience whatever is re
quired, as the chief purpose in producing
the play is to .train new actors. It is
felt that in a student body as large as
that at Carolina, there must be more
dramatic talent than that which the
Playmakers, with their necessarily lim
ited numbers, can include. Hence the
try-outs Wednesday will ' be open to
everyone in an effort to discover new
dramatic ability. -
"The Torchbearers" includes six parts
for men and six for women. Its lines
are clever, its characters laughable and
yet lovable, and its situations irresisti
ble amusing. The climax of the play
comes in the second act, when the scene
is laid backstage; many ridiculous situa
tions occur during the production of a
play by well-meaning but amateurish acr
tors. . 4
The . first studio production was "Pru-;
nella," produced with memorable suc
cess in the Forest Theatre last 'spring.
In these studio groductions all parts in
the staging are taken by students, such
as the offices of director, advertising
manager, property man, etc. The direc
tion of "The Torchbearers" will be in
the hands of Miss Louise Sawyer, al
ready well-known as an acress of much
ability. -
Linton Speaks ' !
In Chapel Tuesday
Mr. Albert Linton, vice-president of
the Provident Mutual Life Insurance
Company, of Philadelphia, will appear
at chapel next Tuesday morning at 10:30.
There are more than 250 life insurance
companies in the United States. The
Provident Mutual is one of the wealth
iest. and most conservative of these
companies.
Aside from Mr. Linton's position and
success in his field, he is a splendid
speaker. He is to present insurance as
a profession.
In the United States there are about
seventy billion dollars of life insurance.
More than seven hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars is paid out annually to
policy holders. And yet, it has been es
timated that only 7 per cent of the eco
nomic value of human life in America
is insured.
Before returning to Philadelphia
after their New Year's day game with
the University of California, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania's squad visited

Here on March 7th.
CAROLINA P L A YMAKERS
'.'The Pied Piper" and "Treasure Isl

An announcement from the Carolina
Playmaker office that Tony Sarg's Mari
onettes have been booked for a perform
ance in Chapel Hill wil arouse wide
spread enthusiastic anticipation on the
campus. The performance will be given
in Memorial Hall on March 7th; brand
new productions of two favorite classics
wil be given, the grotesquely humorous
"Pied Piper of Hamlin" at the afternoon
performance, and in the evening "Steven'
son's "Treasure Island" with its wild
band of lusty buccaneers.
Most readers of The Tar Heel will
need no introduction to the delights of
Mr. Sarg's inimitable marionette dramas.
"Rip Van Winkle" was presented here
last year, and met With outstanding suc
cess during a season of unusually good
entertainments. " Mr." Sarg has " spent
many years in perfecting his marionettes,
training the puppeteers to expert manip
ulation, and heigthening the effect of
stage devices and orchestral scores. ' Ac
cording to the first newspaper criticism
of the new productions, "Tony Sarg has
attained that which he sought Perfec
tion and the title of 'Morionette Mas
ter' is undeniably his".
Mr. Sarg has ben unusually happy in
selecting "The Pied Piper" and "Treas
ure Island" as the new mediums for
presenting his fascinating marionettes.

has grown from a fairy story into a cher
ished tradition, and one must have firm

In spite of the very unfavorable

new Methodist church is progressing re
markably well. The ease and precision
of the operator In manipulating the big
Erie steam shovel, scooping out truck
loads of dirt at a time is still a source
of curiosity and interest for the stu
dents and town folk. The shovel has
been at work only a short time and a
huge hole where formerly lay several
thousand cubic feet of earth. This hole
will, in the process of time, be con
verted Jnto a very up-to-date and con
venient basement to the $200,000 church
the Methodists have planned.
A great number of huge granite rocks
were found deposited under the top lay
er of soil, and a great deal of blasting
has been necessary to break them up.
This work fcag-now been about completed
and the almost daily early-morning
blasting is at an end.
In the basement of the church there
will be located two social rooms, a kitch

place for the boiler and organ blower as
well as other smaller divisions. The two
social rooms are 20 by 21 feet, each

Showing the best form and smoothest
team work seen on the V. M. I. court this
eason, the University basketball team de
feated the Flying Squadron in Lexington
Thursday night, 31 to 19. In the game'
against the Annapolis team the Tar
Heels appeared worn-out from their long
trip and allowed the Middies to run
away witli them, but in the game with
the Virginia Cadets a complete reversal
of form was shown.
: Johnny Purser opened the scoring for
Carolina shortly after the initial tip-off,
and, from, the start the Hilllans had a
clear cut advantage over their oppon
ents. Cobb, Purser, and Devin stood
out. In the offensive work and the guard
ing of the whole Tar Heel five forced
the Cadets to resort to the use of long
shots. , '
Bellinger and Wintringer carried the
brunt of V. M. I.'s attack, but were un
able to compete with the Chapel Hill
players. The first half ended 19 to 11

called against the Tar Heels. This is

perb exhibition of basketball. ,
The Raleigh teams Jiave always been
strong rivals of. Carolina's in all sports,
and although they haven't had the, pleas
ure of defeating a Tar Heel quint for
several years, they have driven them to
some close scores.
This year, starting with poor pros
pects, the Technicians have developed
a smooth running five that appears as a
dangerous contender for state honors.
Doped to lose to the Deacons of Wake
Forest, it surprised even its followers by
taking the measure of the Gharrity crew
in the second game.
The Tar Heels will go Into the con
test with a much needed rest after their
strenuous northern trip. With the state
championship yet to be made secure be
fore worrying about the S. I. C. tourna
ment, they will work hard to win the
next few games with state colleges.
Most of the remaining state games
will be played in the Tin Can. After
State at Raleigh, South Carolina and
Duke come here on Thursday and Satur
day respectively. The following Tues
day and Thursday Wake Forest and
State come to the Tin Can and on Sat

On the Wednesday following, which will
be the 25th, Washington and Lee and
