Freshman Friendship Council MEETS TONIGHT 8:30 ' at Y CT'l Carolina vs. Elon i .Tin Can " .. . 8:30 " Wednesday VOLUME XXXIV CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1926 NUMBER 44 BLUE DEVILS ARE DEFEATED BY TAR HEELSM 38-20 Sunburn's Proteges Play Best Game of Season in Defeat ing Dukemen. SHIFTED TEAM AT START Sides Is Individual Star While Hack ney Plays Good Defensive Game Moss Is Duke Star. Playing thir best game of the season, the Tar Heels defeated the Duke bas- keteers in the Tin Can Saturday night by the score of 38-22. The first half was rather slow but in the second pe riod both teams pepped up and the game evolved into a fast and Interesting con test, with both quints playing wonderful basketball. Coach Sanburn decided to shift his line-up for the start of the game and started Vanstory and Morris, members of last year's Tar Baby team, In place of Captain Bill Dodderer, who was suf fering with an infected foot, and Bunn Hackney. These two men filled the places of the veterans quite creditably and show great promise of developing into great basketball players.- Soon after "Footsy" Knight had toot ed his whistle for the opening of the game,- ' Vanstory caged a field goal to give the "White Phantoms" a lead which was never overcome during the entire game. While Vanstory, Cobb and Devin were ringing up shots for the Tar Heels, Pete Moss captain of the Duke quint, was leading an offensive drive against the Carolinians which at times assumed threatening proportions. Moss rang up several beautiful shots from near the center of the court. He was unable to get any "crip" shots at the basket due to the almost impregnable five-man de fense of Coach Sanburn's men. Shortly before the end of the first half. Captain Dodderer, Sides, and Hack ney were rushed Into the fray, but even with their presence in the line-up Caro ' Una was not able to' obtain a safe lead over the Dukemen, who persisted in stay ing a few points behind. The period ended with the count standing 17-14 In favor of the Southern Champions. The second half was likewise slow in getting started, but in a few minutes Carolina started a drive that complete ly swept the Duke players off their feet and which reminded the spectators of the days of "Cart" Carmichael and "Monk" McDonald. Led by Sides, who played the best game of his ca'reer, the "White Phantoms" started an offensive drive that the visiting guards were un able to cope with and which netted the Tar Heels a total of 21 points while the best Duke could do was to register up 8. The, playing of -the entire team in the final 15 minutes of play was nothing less than sparkling, scintillat ing, and brilliant. The Duke players fought valiantly but to no avail. They ' were simply outplayed and outclassed by the Carolina five.

NEW MEN ARE INITIATED Six New Members Taken Into Di At Last Meeting. Despite the necessarily brief session, the Dialectic Senate had an eventful meeting the past Saturday night. The attendance was near the 50 mark, and there are Indications that this percent age will be maintained or even sur passed. The old disinterested pallor which has in the former meetings per vaded proceedings bids to be annihi lated and a fresh, youth vigor substi tuted. There are factors brooding which may have a great deal to do with a regenerating and strengthening of the" Dialectic forces. At any rate, this de cided change is very gratifying to fond suitors of literary organisations. The first noteworthy event bf the eve ning was the initiation of six neophytes Into this body.

CLUB PAPER Plan Is Similar to System of Building and Loan Associations. ' Discussing the local marketing prob lems of the North Carolina farmer, C. G. Grady, a graduate student of Johnston county, read one of the most interesting and important papers that the North Carolina Club has heard in quite a long time. Mr. Grady had a reasonably large and appreciative audience last night and handled his subject in a highly efficient iimnner. Considerable interest has been manifested in the work of the club dur ing recent months, and the discussions are becoming both interesting and in structive to larger audiences at each meeting. . Officials of the - organization are enthusiastic over the recent interest and hope for the continued success of the interest being shown. Mr. Gradv prefaced his address with some interesting Temnrks that gave his hearers a keener insight into the real situation of the farmer's merchandising his produce in the most highly remun erative manner. The speaker In leading up to the issue of the evening quoted one of the University professors who likes to, say thut our state has reached an enviable position as a producer of crop wealth. "There are only three or four states which produce greater crop values than ours, yet we fail to feed ourselves. The trouble is that we are a great cash-crop state, our most im nortant cash-crops being cotton and to bacco. As a result 'we buy our foods from neighboring states, states not hav ing near as many acres of fertile soil as North Carolina. In view of this fact it seems that we need diversified farm ing. In order to have diversified farm ing, as well as our present cash-crop, we must have markets that will care for our "agricultural products.

GIVE COMPLETE PROGRAM Shaw, of Michigan and Visiting Speak er, Will Address Gathering Opening Session. With plans and details complete for the Alumni Conference and School, which convenes here Thursday evening and ter minates Saturday afternoon, Secretary Dan Grant, of the central alumni office, is predicting the greatest and most suc cessful gathering of alumni in the his tory of activity in that field. Registration for the conference up to the present is indicative of a good at tendance. Up to the present fifty have registered, and Mr. Grant is expecting the total registration to reach well over one hundred before the first session opens Thursday evening. Three Purposes - The purpose of the gathering of the alumni is threefold.. Quoting from the program, "This General Assembly of the Alumni is expected , to:" (a) Study the University (b) Confer In order to de termine what the." alumni should do, and how they can best correlate their efforts in achieving it; and (c) Officially deter mine policies for the alumni body." It is known that when alumni are physically apart from the University and its ac tivities they sometime fail to under stand and appreciate the policies and positions of their Alma Mater. With that in mind, Ses. Grant' has so arranged the probram so that the returning alumni may see the inner workings of the Uni versity and get into more intimate con tact with the University of today. It is announced by Mr. Grant that all alumni are invited to attend the assem bly, but those primarily concerned are association and class officers the Alumni Loyalty Fund Council, the Alumni Re view Board, the Graham Memorial Fund Committee, and the faculty committee on Alumni relations. : ..' Proceeding from the desire to bring the'alumni into more closer relation with present , conditions, the program also purposes to reveal to the visitors the needs of the University, its posibilities, and recent accomplishments. "The most significant development in this conference is the opportunity for those groups to stay in session over three days and to study the University at close range. The power to control alumni affairs without accurate knowl edge of what should be done as the basis for the determination of policy as a danger and not a security. The admin istration of the General Alumni Asso ciation must be done in tfie full know ledge and .close understanding of all University affairs. This requires study and planning." t One Guest Speaker , The program states that "a conference, visits to different University departments and decisions upon policies, cannot pro ceed through a large number of formal; consequently, the opening event 'of the program will be the formal one." Mr. Wilfred B. Shaw, Alumni Secretary of the University of Michigan will be the visiting speaker. - Probably no secretary In the field of alumni work is more conversant with the problems and conditions that face (Continued on page four) .

' WRESTLING TEAM WENS FROM STATE Quinlan's Men Take Every Match Except One. ' j MEET AGAIN SATURDAY Concord Grapplers Will " Come HJJe for Second Setto. . Completely outclassing their oppon ents in practically every match, the Tar Heel grapplers opened the 1926 season in the Tin Can last Friday night by de feating the North Carolina State mat men by the overwhelming score of 28-3. It was a much better match than the average exhibition and was thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators who braved the cold weather to witness the setto. It was certainly an auspicious begin ning for the Carolina men and Coach Quinlan cannot be over-praised for turn ing out such a good team in a very brief space of time. He has worked wonders with the men on the squad. Carolina won every match , with the exception of the 119 pound -class,' which State took on a time decision. The match was. refereed by "Bill" Baily, former wrestling coach nt Duke Uni versity, but who is now head of atletlcs at the High Point Y. M. C. A.

Crowell, Class of '92, Formerly President of Six Col leges, Prominent Educator In South, and Winner of Mangum Medal, Returns to Visit Campus for First Time in Quarter of Century, By J. F. Ashby "It is a great place, son 1" exuberantly proclaimed a beaming elderly gentleman fa me as I met him on the walk in front of the Library the other day. Introduc ing himself, George Henry Crowell, class of '92, formerlyprcsident of six colleges, recounted some interesting features of University life back in the nineties and from other sources I have gathered a description of those days and some In teresting incidents. ' For the first time in twenty-five years Mr. Crowell was back on the campus. He was glad to get back. Running down heTe from High Point with a friend, who came on business, Mr. Crowell was spending his time hurriedly taking in the new campus and seeking familiar scenes. Of course, he was astounded at the changes, and proud, too. But in all his haste, he had a moment to tell me some thing of the bygone days. Mr. Crowell's Unusual Record . Perhaps we are jumping our story. In glancing over the records of Mr. Cro well's achievements since he was grad uated in 1892, it was found that he was one of the outstanding educators in the south and southern mid-western section. He has been superintendent of a number of city public schools, Vice Chancellor of Epworth University, in Oklahoma, and President of six Methodist colleges. In North Carolina he was superintend ent of the High Point and Asheboro public schools for a number of years. In the field of education in the south, Mr. Crowell holds an enviable position. As Mr. Crowell stood telling me of the scenes and incidents of over thirty years ago, a graphic panorama of those days became fixed in my imagination. "There were only a few buildings here then", he related. "The Chemistry Hall (old Pharmacy building now), Old and New East, Old and New West, Memo rial Hall, Gerrard Ilall, South, and the Library (Playmakers Theatre now) were all that we had. Look at the change nowa beautiful campus, carefully laid walks, and such a number of buildings 1" (Cotttinuoi on Va9 four) Propose To Join Di And Phi Into jStudent Forum No Senior Photos After Saturday After Saturday of this week, no more space will be allowed in the Senior or Junior sections of the Yackety-Yaek. , AH seniors and juniors who wish their picture to : appear in the annual must have it taken before Saturday or under no condition can it go In the book as these sections wHl then be closed and turned over to the printer.

WEAVE R IS PRESIDENT Delegates From Seven Southern States Attend Conference At Furman. Friday evening Paul Jqhn Weaver, director of the University Glee Club, Ludvvlg , Lauerhauss, president of the organization and Ernest Young, business manager, left the Hill for Greeneyille, South Carolina, where they attended a meeting of delegates assembled from southern universities to form a southern association of glee clubs. The conference was held at Furman University where M. C. Collins, busi ness manager of that institution's glee club, had invited the various club officers to convene in an attempt to evolve a systematic governing board for the or ganizations. At this meeting, which was attended by Mr.s. Harriet Pickernelle, secretary of the National Intercollegi ate Glee Club Association and prominent New York musical contest promoter, and also delegates from. West Virginia, Virginia, NortH Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida iand Ala bama, the Southern Intercollegiate Glee Club Association formed. The Univer sity of North Carolina was signally honored when Mr. Weaver, head of the music department here as well as direc tor of the glee club, was elected to the presidency of the Association. Tom Garner, of the University of Alabama Glee Club, was chosen vice-president; Maurice Mattison, of the University of South Carolina,treasurer; and M, C Collins, busines manager of the Furman University Club, secretary. Considerat tion was given an administration under student officers, but this plan was dis carded since students can seldom remain in school long enough or find sufficient time to do justice to their management of the duties of such important positions. Faculty members were chosen as the proper executives of the new body. During the course of the convention the representatives were entertained at Furman University, Raptist denomina tional school. The new southern organi zation produced by this conference will (Continued on page four) GRAHAM ADDRESSES -ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Urges Durham Alumni to Attend Con ference Here This Week Officers ' Are Elected for the Year.

OFFICIALS v SANCTION PLAN President Chase, Dean Bradshaw, and Others Are Consulted Some Stu dents Fervidly Oppose Amalgation. ', ' By Bew Eaton At their meetings Saturday night the Dialectic Senate and Philanthropic As sembly approached the most significant issue of their meritorious and traditional careers. The societies have often dis cussed resolutions and bills which have been of very vital concern to institutions from the University to International or Jers, but never have they considered a proposition so peculiarly pertainling to heir own particular Institution. The iiill has been drawn up with the hope of rectifying some of the alleged unfor tunate circumstances which the two so cieties have laxed into, and with the idea of increasing the advantages of a literary organization. In the' DI Senate the bill was read and given an explana tion by Senator Jonas. Due to inltia :icm of new members, lack of time before the game, and the advisability of permit ting the senators a period of considera tion, the resolution was deferred ' until ' che following meeting. The representa tives of the Phi also heard a reading of the same bill, accompanied by a 25-mlii-ute exposition by Representative J. F,' Cooper. The bill was sponsored by Representatives Cooper, Dantzler, and Parker, while it met opposition. In Rep resentatives Young and Noe. The bill ; as read m both societies is thus: Moved That each society elect a com mittee of five, which, with a like com- ' mittee from the other, shall draft a 'de tailed plan by which the DI and Phi shall establish a student forum. , ' Section, 1. These committees shall have power to make all arrangements, subject, however, to ratification by both' societies. Section 2. These committees shall be chosen within one week after the pass age of this motion: - ' Section 8. The plan agreed upon shall be submitted to the societies (whether in separate or joint meetings to be de-" cided later) for ratification by a three fourths mujority, within 11 weeks after the appointment of the' committees. Section 4. Unless some such plan is ratified, the ttatut quo will continue. Section . To be valid, thi motion must be passed by both societies. r ' ' Details of the plan as referred to In" the bill are entirely within the volition of the committees representing the sock eties, but the essentials in mind In the consideration of such a step are suchs 1.

ADDITION TO SCHEDULE Recently Booked Game Does Not Ap pear on Regular Schedule. The Tar Heel basketball team will play their only gume of the week to-morrow night when they meet the Elon Christians in the Tin Can. This game was not on the original schedule but was only recently booked. ; Although Carolina should win easily, the strength of the Elon team should not be taken' too lightly. Coach Corboy, who recently resigned as head of ath letics there, has developed a team of basketball tossers who are capable of throwing a scare into the camp of many a larger team. Among the players on the Elon team are George Kelly and Garnet Bock, who were members of the Durham high's championship quint last year. Their playing will be watched with keen interest by their many ad mirers among the Carolina student body. Since the defeat at the hands of the Wake Forest team, Coach Sanburn has been working the boys hard each day in an effort to erase some of the weak spots on the quint. They showed great im provement In their playing In the Duke game last Saturday night, and to-morrow night they should run up the largest score of the season. II a i E I i ! I i ! I t , i t P1 if
