The Tar Heels cross-country team top
ped off their 1925 season by winning the
annual State championsnip meet at uur-
ham last Saturday from a field of three
teams, representing Duke, State and
Elon. Placing the first three men in the
race, and with Carolina runners taking
seventh and ninth places, the Tar Heels
held a 24 point lead, over the Duke team,
which finished in second place.
Hoyt Pritchett, sophomore distance
star, led the runners to the tape and won
the individual state title from some of
the best runners in the South Atlantic
section. Pritchett turned in P the good
time of 17 minutes 1 second, with Andy
Bell, varsity miler, finishing a close sec
ond. Elliott, the third Carolina man to
finish, trailed several yards behind Bell.
"The race was run over a three and a
quarter mile course that was rough and
hard on the runners, and Pritchett's
time was good considering the conditions
under which it was made. . Captain Ma-
bry, of Duke, led the runners till near
the finish when the Carolina men leaped
to the fore with a beautiful sprint that
took the heart of the Methodist harrier.
An unusually good crowd packed the
sides of the start and' finish lanes on the
Duke campus to see the meet, and the
judges of the race, all of whom are men
of wide experience in track and field
sports expressed the opinion that an all-
star team composed of the first six men
to finish would furnish hot competition
for any of the northern or western ag
gregations that are so highly touted.
f)n this all-star team, if the first six
men were picked; Carolina and Duke
would split the honors with three men
each, but all conditions favorable Arthur
Daniels, of Carolina, would undoubtedly
have placed ahead of the Duke runners,
In a meet earlier in the season the Char
lotte boy led even Mabry, the ace of the
Blue Devil team, to tha tape by a good
. margin. Daniels is due especial men
tion for running all Saturday. He

meet with Virginia Thanksgiving and

"Without any malice or tyrannical
methods, business is effecting religion
and making it conform to the ideas of
the leaders in business," said D. D. Car
roll, dean of the University Commerce
School, in the course of his Sunday night
lecture on "Religion and Business" at the
Chapel of the Cross. This was one of a
series of lectures by laymen at the Epis
copal church.
Dean Carroll's talk was a clear dis
cussion of the relation of present busi
ness and the churches. He pointed oat
that the churches must necessarily de
pend, as everything else, on the economic
order. The churches that present a radi
cal attitude toward the present order of
tilings and try to tear down rather than
construct will naturally not. receive the
support that is accorded the ones which
by their efforts to aid and better the
condition of the present order of things
in the world, he explained. Mr. Car
roll called attention to the fact that so
many of the churches today put all stress
on the spiritual side and take no inter
est in rural or social reforms.
"Religion has an 1825 conscience func
tioning in 1925 life," the Dean said in
explaining that the churches have not
been able to keep pact with the rapid
economic advancement of the last cen
tury. "Instead of dealing with individ
uals, the churches now must deal with
large companies and . corporations. The
churches are now faced with problems
that are very different from the problems

Meeting Tonight of All Varsity and
Freshman Candidates.
Seldom in the course of one meeting
do yon find such an appalling variety of
ideas, and such digressions from original
issues as was manifested in the Di Senate
the past Saturday night The meeting
was interesting, but interesting only be
cause it demonstrated just to what ex
tent discussions can be carried, super
ficially and ineffectively, with inadequate
premises to begin with. The entire pro
cedure was characterised .by a state of
dilemma from which only adjournment
could be the crowning virtue, :
However, preceding the chief discus
sions of the evening, Senator Watt out
lined the proposed principle of a revision
of the class dues and the method or col
lection. He explained that according to
the new nrovlsions class dues are arrang
ed on the graduation scale of one dollar
for freshmen, two dollars for sophomores,
three dollars for Juniors, and four dol
lars for seniors. This plan would afford
a budget to work from, and consequent-
ly it would alleviate the annoyances and
Conveniences of the past, In respect to
obtaining enough money to discharge the
different classes' obligations and plans
properly. ' Such inconveniences, the
speaker explained, have always been a
drag on class spirit, and this plan would
do away with the disorganintng feature
of the old. It was further stated by
Senator Watt that an additional feature
which should armeal to many, Is that it
is likely that no. back dues will be, col
lected, and that those who have already
paid their dues this year will be refund
ed the amount over that which the pro
vision fixates a reduction.
The Senate proceeded to the special
order of exercises which unfortunately
had little order. Senator Kennett. In
troduced the original resolution, "Re
Track fans of North Carolina will have
the opportunity of seeing the outstand
ing track and field stars of the South in
action next spring when the annual
Southern ' Championship meet will be
held on Emerson Field here. The big
meet is scheduled for Friday and Sat
urday, May 14 and 15, and will draw
teams from practically every institution
in the Southern Conference.
The Tar Heels won third place in the
1924 meet which was held at Sewanee,
Tenn. Out of a field of nineteen teams
the Mississippi Aggies won first with 29
points, Louisiana State took second with
26 points, and the Carolina tracic men
carried off 21 points for third.
The Carolina officials began negotia
tions immediately after the meet at
Sewanee to bring the 1926 meet here,
nd their efforts were successful when
the trustees of the Conference, meeting
Athens, Ga, this past week, awarded
the hie meet to the University. Caro

meet. The local track is one of the best
in the South, and accommodations can
be arranged here to care for the large
nnmhera of competitors without trouble.

Rumors have been going the rounds
the various papers of the state re
garding a number of new coaches for
Tab Heel athletic teams. The Universi
ty authorities have neither taken the
trouble to affirm or deny these rumors,
and the fact has become very well es
tablished that Carolina is in the market
for a new mentor who can coach at least
two of the major sports, and as the dis
patch in the Winston-Salem Journals
Sunday edition said, "they wouldn t
mind if he could coach all three sports.
Whether these rumors be true or not,
they do not in any way predict the end
nf the Fetzer sreeime here. . Bill and
Bob Fetzer have had an unusually sue
cessful term here since 1920, turning
ouC championships in every sport and
developing a number of stars in every
year. Their football team has just
completed one of the most successful
seasons in Carolina's grid history, and
the prospects now point to a long con-
i-mcf for their nvmroval when their
present one expires two years hence,
The desires of the Tab Heei. officials
as expressed in an unofficial manner in
the news dispatches have been for a man
who can coach basketball and baseball,
with a knowledge of the offensive tac
tics of football. Should a man of these
qualifications be found the following
state of thinars would result. The Fet
zers would still be head coaches of foot
ball, handling the defensive side of the
game, with this new paragon directing
the offensive work of the team. After
the- grid- season ends Coach Bill Fet
zer would give his attention to prepar
ing plans for spring football, while
Coach Bob Fetzer would immediately
take charge of the track squad's win
ter practice. The third man would take
basketball in the winter and coach the
diamond sport in the spring while the,
mentors were handling track
and spring football.
As to who this new man will ,be no
definite information has leaked out
from the source of all Information, the
business office.
Sundry rumors have been connected
with the name of Tebel, present coach
of State College's cage and diamond
squads. Still another report has been
circulated that various football stars
of the present season are being consid-
ered. ."Swede" Oberlander, Dartmouth
halfback Is one of the stars so mentioned.

For the second time Bill Vaught's
whirlwind musical comedy, "Yes By
Gosh", has landed a knockout blow on
the risible solar plexus of the campus.
The Monday night performance of Mr.
Vaught's chuckle chaser was bigger than
before and, though some may stand
forth in support of last year's version,
the consensus of opinion seems to be that
it was considerably better. All the best
features of the previous production were
retained and some new material was
added which made a decided hit with
the enthusiastic audience. No one could
demand more of a college musical show.
Clever,-timely lines, elaborate scenery,
tasteful costuming, a competent well
drilled chorus and two or three special
dances that could scarcely be improved
upon, all combined to form a superla-
tisMv cood evening's entertammcui.

1AST0NIA WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP IN
STATE FOOTBALL
Defeated Sarford 8-0 in Muddy
Contest on Emerson Field
Saturday.
FRAZIER STAR FOR LOSER
Sanford's Much Lighter Team Unable
to Withstand Assaults of Gastonia's
Heavy Backs.
The Gastonia high school football
team defeated the Sanford Highs on
Emerson Field Saturday afternoon by
the score of 8-0, thereby winning the
state championship in the twelfth an
nual elimination series. The game was
played on a mud-soaked field, which was
the result of the icessant activities of
old Pupiter Pluvius during Friday night
and the early part of Saturday morn
ing. In spite of this fact there was a
crowd of approximately 3,000 specta
tors on hand, and hud it not been for
the rain there would probably have been
a record-breaking attendance.
With two bands playing and with
the two rival stands vicing for cheer
ing honors, there was much spirit and
color to the contest. Shortly after the
special train from Gastonia arrived and
in a few minutes the campus was full
of the frenzied fans from the Gaston
county seat, who were confident that
their team, for the first time since, the
inauguration of the state-wide high
school team elimination series, was go
ing to win the state title. Long before
Ihe two teams entered the field, the
stunds were beginning to be filled with
high school and college students. The
University Band, led by Mr. McCorkle,
was on hand and added much pep to the
to returl occasion. The American Legion uanu
often red from Gastonia was also there and
sometimejl pepped tilings up quite a bit. Between
Under halves, the crowd was furnished with

by the brilliant Harry Frazier, was in
the thich of the fight at ull stages of
the game and in the first quarter they
slightly outplayed their adversaries.
