PLANS FOR SHORT STATE TOUR
Record Breaking Crowd Saw Student
. Production Last Year Tickets
Now On Sale At Patterson's.
The time is rapidly drawing near for
the presentation of the big hit of the
year, "Yes, by Gosh!" which will make
its appearance next Monday and Tues
day night, February 23 and 24. William
A. Vaught's musical comedy, which is
the third annual production of the al
ready famous Wigue and Masque, prom
ises to excel both of the two preceding
productions. ; .:
For the last two weeks everything has
been in a buzz around Memorial hall,
and every day for several hours the cho
rus of "Every lady is a perfect gentle
man" has practiced under the direction
of Paul J. Weaver and Kike Kyser. An
extra large stage has been in course of
preparation and now is practically fin
ished. A corps of campus artists have
been hard at work in New West build
ing making "rock walls," a "Statue of
Liberty," ship scenes and other original
stage packground.
The play was written entirely by Bill
Vaught. The music was all composed
by Parker H. Daggett, assisted by
Vaught and Mr. Weaver. The lyrics and
melodies of the Wigue and Masque have
always attracted widespread popularity
and have been noted for their excellence.
This year three of the tunes have al
ready been sold to one of the leading
publishing houses, and will appear soon
after the show.
No state tour will be made by the
Wigue and Masque this year, at least
until after examinations. Preliminary
negotiations are now going on for a short
state tour some time during the spring
quarter. An engagement has been made
for the presentation of "Yes, by Gosh!"
however, in Winston-Salem a week from
next Monday in Reynolds hall, under
the auspices of the Winstori-Salem Civic
Music Association. ',
Last year record breaking crowds
flooded Memorial hall, and tickets sold
out long before the day of the show.
This year two shows are being given,
but already tickets are going like hot
cakes from the table down in Patterson's.
Tickets will be on sale there until Mon
day, if they last.
The play has been called the biggest,
brightest, and most joyous carnival of
melody and mirth the 'organization has
ever staged. :
WILL GIVE RELIEF
FROM LOCAL MUD
At Work in Front of Gerrard
Hall.'
DR. COKER IS IN CHARGE
Students Will Finally Be Rescued
From Sea of Mud.
If the plan on which Dr. W. C. Coker
and his cohort of workmen are concen
trating comes to a successful conclusion,
the vast and deep sea of mud which
often exists on Cameron avenue in front
of the "Y" will "go hence and be no more
seen," much to the joy of the inhabi-
tants. .
Stakes have been driven between the
corner of Old South and the "Y" and
between the corner of Gerrard and the
"Y," to prevent any automobiles and
wagons from using the pathway there.
This will materially lessen the amount of
mud. The unusual amount of traffic
along Cameron avenue has been largely
responsible for the unusual amount of
mud. v
The level of the plot of ground in
front of the "Y" will be raised several
inches with granite screenings in order
to better the drainage. A brick gutter
has been laid from the southwest corner
of Old South building continuing around
towards Cameron avenue. The same
kind of brick gutter is being placed in a
similar position near Gerrard hall.
Between the walk and Cameron ave
nue there will be a low ditch to help get
rid of the water. This will not be fixed
in anv nermanent form, since the hoped-
for paving will require special arrange
ments.

PLACE THREE MEN
ON DEBATE TEAM
Jonas, Chappell and Justus
Will Meet West Virginia.
DEBATE AT 'mORGANTON
Mountaineers Have Won Decision
Twice Over Carolina.
C. R. Jonas, S. G. Chappell and E. L.
Justus will compose the team that de
bates West Virginia University about
the middle of next month. These men
were chosen in open preliminary last
Tuesday night. Jonas and Chappell com
posed the team that won from the Uni
versity of South Carolina some time ago,
while Justus was on the team that won
over Williams and Mary here.
The query to be debated in the West
Virginia-Carolina contest is, Resolved
That Congress should be given power to
override Supreme Court decisions that
declare Congressional acts unconstitu
tional. The North Carolina team will
journey to Morganton, West Virginia, to
meet the mountaineer debaters on their
own home floor.
This is the third year that Carolina
has debated the West Virginia Univer
sity. Year before last the West Vir
ginia team defeated a Carolina team that
went to Morganton to debate them. Last
year Carolina was defeated here by a
West Virginia team. This year, how
ever, it is hoped that the Tar Heel team
will partly secure revenge for the. two
defeats. The team 4s composed of three
experienced men who have already shown
their mettle under fire in intercollegiate
debates. They have also been on teams
that have turned in victories for the
University on the same subject that will
be used in the coming debate.
M. H. Light and J. M. Saunders also
went out in the preliminaries but were
defeated by Jonas", Chappell and Justus,
Professors W. J. Matherly, C. A. Hib-
bard and Mr. Claude Currie served on
the committee of judges to pick the
team.

BIG TRACK PROGRAM FOR COMING
SEASON CALLS
Extensive Track . Schedule Arranged For 1925 Season More
Track Men Necessary to Make Season Sucess Dale
Ransom Calls for More Men May Meet
Navy Here on May 9th. .
By F. P. Em.es)
The University of North Carolina has
arranged the .most strenuous track
schedule in recent years. The splendid
showing of last year's "cinder path"
artists caused, those in charge of mak
ing the 1925 schedule to secure the best
teams in the South Atlantic section of
the country.
The track season will open here on
April 4, with a meet with Washington
and Lee. The Generals promise to have
the best team in recent years, accord
ing to their showing made in the indoor
meets at Charlottesville and Richmond
last week. In both of these meets W.
& L. out scored all the .other competing
colleges combined.
V. P. I. had considerable young ma
terial last year. They were winners
in the S. L C cross-country last fall
and can be expected to offer trouble for
the Tar Heel distance men.
Virginia has not been met in a dual
track meet since 1921. In this engage
ment the Cavaliers were returned victors
by an overwhelming score. Last spring
in the divisional conference meet held at
Charlottesville, the University of Vir
ginia won by a good margin over the
North State trackmen, who finished in
spcond Dlace. The meet with Virginia is
to be held at Charlottesville during the
Easter holidays. This will be one of
the chief events of a week of athletic
contests and festivities at Virginia.
N. C. State is preparing to meet the
Tar Heel team. The Tech men may be
expected to be in the top of form, since
a victory would be all the sweeter for
having suffered two defeats at the heels
nt tin. rurnllim men last season.
The Stute Championship meet brings
together .the best talent which the col
leges have for display. Once and for all
the champions of the year in this sport
are determined. Each event will be hot
lv contested. With so many participants

The 1925 baseball season is "just
around the corner." The basketball per
iod will come to a close in less than two
weeks;, then mitts, balls, bats, and all
will come into play and all suitable space
that is available will be used for the
national pastime.
Candidates for Carolina's varsity bat
tery have been getting in shape for more
than a week and some of the men who
are out for the other positions have also
started limbering up.
The schedule, with a total of 24 games,
is one of the best that the University
has ever had. Eleven games are billed
to be played here and five others are
very accessible, leaving only the eight
games which will be played on the trip
that the student body will necessarily
miss.
4The season opens with Hampden-Sidney
here on April 6, followed by Guil
ford on the 8th and the Navy on the
10th. ' The University of Maryland will
be met at Greensboro or Raleigh on the
11th and the Easter trip will, begin with
Davidson at Gastonia on Easter Mon
day, which is April 13. Then the north
ern invasion will begin and culminate
with Georgetown university at Washing

In the S. I. G. meet the star perform
ers of the Southern States are brought
together. The man who scores a first
place in this meet automatically becomes
All-Southern. The showing of the Tar
Heels in, this the last contest on the
year's program could hardly be pre
dated at this time.
" There are two dates on the schedule
which still remain open. Attempts are
being made to secure. Richmond Uni

Either the S. I. C. division meet or a
dual meet with the Navy will keep the

Besides the heavy schedule of dual,
State, and Conference meets, the Tar
Heels hope to enter a four mile relay
team in the Georgia Tech relays and
Pennsylvania relays.
' With such an extensive program lined
up, Coach Bob Fetzer is looking for new
men to fill the gaps left in the squad

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Visitors Able to Shoot But One Field
Goal Rung Up by Johnson
In Last Half.
The Tar Heels held the Red Terrors
of State college to a lone field goal here
Thursday night while running a respect
able total themselves and copped the
game by a 29 to 10 score. The Tech
nicians' single shot from scrimmage was
tossed by Captain "Red" Johnson.
The Cobbmen opened the game with
five minutes of the fastest work that the
Tin Can has seen this year. The State
quint was carried off its feet in these
first few moments, somewhat lost its
head and never attained that form that
it showed when the two teums met in
Raleigh earlier in the season.
The defense of the Carolinians was
well nigh impregnable and although the
self-styled Terrors had an occasional
shot they were too anxious and were un
able to cage a goal until about the last
ten minutes of piny. They had been
bouncing long shots off the back board
in a desperate effort to secure one field
goal, beginning with the opening of the
second half. Captain Johnson caught
the ball on one of these rebounds and,
standing just outside the foul line, tossed
the ball overhead through the basket.
As the game drew steadily to a close
and it appeared that possibly State
would not score from scrimmage, the
crowd had developed intense interest and
followed every move of the ball closely.
When the sphere passed through the hoop
the Carolina supporters settled down
again and sent up a spontaneous cheer
for the visiting captain.
Coach McDonald sent in Poole and
Hackney for Cobb and Devin at this
point. - Although the Technicians con
tinued their efforts to score they were
not again able to locate the basket from
the floor and the game ended without
further scoring on their part.
State guarded well and at no time
were the Tar Heels able to break through
their defense easily. Many of their shots
were from outside the State five-man
defense. McDonald was able to locate
the basket with uncanny accuracy from
a distance. Three of his shots rank
with the longest that the Tin Can has
ever seen. He was high scorer for the
evening with 11 points to his credit.
Captain Cobb was runner-up In indi
vidual scoring and had a total of nine
points. He played one of his best games

The championship of Virginia and
No-th Carolina will be decided tonight
when the Cavaliers, undisputed cham
pion of the Old Dominion, meet the Tar
Heels In the Tin Can.
All dope points' to one of the hardest
games of the season. Virginia has . a
string of victories unmarred by a de
feat since they were taken into camp
by Maryland in a prc-scason game.
Washington and Lee, V. M. I., and the
leading teams in Virginia have fallen
to the Orange und Blue quint.
Wednesday night the Cuvaliers defeat
ed the Gamecocks of South Carolina by
an overwhelming margin. This game
was much like the Tar Heel-Red Terror
game of Thursday night, for during the
first half the South Carolinians did not
score a single field goal. Three foul
shots gave them three points to 17 by
the Virginians in the same period. The
final score was 31-14 in favor of the
Cavaliers, Orange and Blue subs playing
the last 10 minutes.
Carolina has shown a complete reversal
of form against State and Wake For
est compared witli the game against the
Gamecocks, and the defeat of South CarT
olina by Virginia cannot be construed
to mean that the Cavaliers have a big
margin in their favor. The Gumecocks
were reaching the tall end of a long trip
and were possibly somewiiat played out.
Maryland beat them decisively on the
night before the Virginia game.
The Cavaliers have, however, an ex

GOOD GAME BY GREASON
Carolina Team Showed Marked Ira-

- Against South Carolina.
After being played to a stnnd-still for
the best part of the first half, Carolina
unleashed a fierce scoring attack and
overwhelmed the demon Deacons of
Wake Forest by a 43 to 24 score in the
Tin Can lost Tuesday night. .'
Just before the whistle blew for the
close of the first half the score stood at
13 all. Up to this time the game had
been a nip and tuck affair with the Bap
tists hanging desperately to the heels of
the fast flying Cobbmen.
The Tar Heels opened up with a driv
ing offensive after this thut was too much
for the Deacons and the score steadily
mounted in Carolina's favor. Cobb, Pur
ser and McDonald were the leaders in
this scoring attack and kept the ball
flying through the hoop at regular in
tervals.
Greason played a fast game at for
ward for the visitors and it was his Indi
vidual scoring that kept the Baptists in
striking distance of Carolina during the
first half. Twice he made a pretty shot
over his shoulder while going away from
the goal. His total for the game was
10 points and he was tied with McDon
ald for second place in scoring honors
for the game.
Captain Cobb showed the scoring abil
ity that won him a place on almost ail
all-Southern teams last season and suc

to his credit. -
