"The "Flying Phantoms" flew around the State. College basketeers here Tues day night at a rate of speed that fairly dazed the Tecbmen and, with a passing and shooting attack that far surpassed anytning iney nave snown this year, swept up a 31 to- 21 win over the red- jerseyed quint from the West Raleigl: institution. lne state outfit never threatened seriously at any time during the contest and the sine of the final score was the only thing that was in doubt after the first few minutes of play. Roth teams presented a fast passing combination that played the floor with skill and speed but it wits only in playing Mm. floor that theTechmen exhibited uny skill, for. their forwards1 were not able to . penetrate the impregnable defense that the Tar Heels threw up before their goal when State had the ball.: The Caro lina guards never gave the opposing for wards a free shot at. the basket during the game, and every one of the few field baskets' that they registered were made from long range or shot on a fast run, Phantoms Start With Spurt After Capt. Dickens opened the scor? ing for State with a foul goal in the first few seconds of play, Jack Cobb and Hilly Vanstory adjusted their sights on the basket and kept thera there for the remainder of the half. Those two Tar Heel stars dropped basket after basket through 'the hoop from all ranges and angles, and ran up twelve point before McDowell broke - into the score column with another foul basket. Time after time-the State outfit would get the .bull and carry it just past mid court only to have Captain Dodderer step out ofspaee and take the ball with an ease that set the crowded stands in an uproar. After those recoveries it was just a question of seconds before a white figure would flash under the goal, much after the manner of a flitting ghost, and ring the basket over his shoulder as he ran to his position for the tip-off. Dickens and Watson were the only State players to register a goal from the floor during that first half, and the period ended with Carolina out in front by thet count' of 18 and 8. State Comes Back Strong Dickens, Williams, and McDowell hooked tlu-ee goals from the far reaches of the floor soon afte the half-time was over and, sandwiching several one- pointers between those baskets, they ran their score-up to within five points of (Continued on page four) GRADUATE SCHOOL LARGEST IN SOUTH Annual Report to President of Graduate School States NEEDS OF SCHOOL GIVEN Fellowships, Loan Funds, New Library And Books Are Most Salient. Mating "our Graduate School may claim the first rank in the south among southern institutions, for we have se curely built up a spirit of scholarship and a respect for learning," Dean James Finch lloyster, of the Graduate School, gives the palpable needs, the outstanding progress, and the far-reach ing scope of the school in his annual report to the President, which he recent ly made. - ' Giving the dual function of the school as to train men in the methods and spirit of research, and to prepare teachers for colleges and high schools, Dean Royster sketched the success of the school in these functions. It is gratifying, he states to review the number of graduates of the Graduate School that now are in our own faculty and in thai of other southern institutions. Sketching the progress of the school, he states that from the meagre number of graduate students of just a few years ago the registration in the Gradu ate School has grown in greater propor tion than that of last year's registration is over thirty-two percent. The number of 'graduate students registered in the fall quarter is one hundred and forty- eight j in the summer quarter of 1925, three hundred and tenj in the two quar ters, four hundred and fifty-eight. As many students wil probably be granted the M. A. degree at the next commence ment as will receive B. A. degree. In this, group of students, graduates . of ninety-eight institutions appear, seventy three of them with a masters degree from one or another of the twenty-five colleges an universities." Dean Royster optimistically declares that the number of graduate students will increase in even a faster ratio .in the future than they have in the past. Sumarizing his reasons for his belief in the increasing growth of the Gradu ate School, the Dean avers that the Continued on page four) FOUR CONFERENCE TEAMS UNBEATEN Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky Have 1000 MARYLAND IS LEADING Tar Heels Are Third With One Victory And No Defeats.

These four quints are the Uni versity! of North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky. " With the Atlanta tournament only slightly, more than three weeks in the future, interest Is being turned to the showing of the different conference teams. Carolina and Virginia have played only one game each with the con ference members and they are chalked with a win a piece.

BOTH TEAMS ARE ERRATIC Carolina Frosh Disappointing But Come Back Stronger After Half. Playing its first game of the season, the. Carolina freshman basketball team was defeated by the State yearlings Tuesday night by thescore of 35-18. The contest got underway to a slow start and was a rather listless affair throughout both teams playing very erratic basket ball. However, near the close of the game both teams pepped "up a bit and a'" much better brand of playing was exhibited. , . State took the lead from the start and they were never in danger of being over come. With Goodwin, Young, and War ing leading the attack, they staged. an offensive drive which the Tar Babies could jiot stop, although they put up a dogged fight. At' the end of the first half, the score stood 13-6 in favor of the visiting team. ' In the second period Coach Shepherd's men came back with more fight and led by the elongated Baggett, played a much faster game. However, they were un able to overcome the big lead which the Wolf lets hud piled up.

The Junior Order of Gimghouls was delighffully entertained last baturilay night at the President's Mansion with a party given in its honor, Dr. and Mrs. IL W. Chase and Dr. and Mrs. W. S.

The little score which were given to each one present were unique, me red color of the card itself, which was Contimied on page three) A new organization, the Committee on Dramatical and Musical Activities, was recently named by President Chase. The functional purpose of the committee is to consider the status of such activities as those of musical, dramatical, 'or allied talent in . the student body. For sometime the status of activities in these fields have not been known, and the committee is now meeting at the call of Chairman Hibbard lo determine such activities that may come up before the new organization. Since its creation,, it has busied itself with formulating plans and policies. The primary question that will fuce the committee in its functions in the fields of dramatics, music, and al lied talents is, What are and what are not legitimate organizations? In making its first report, the com mittee states that it "recognizes as its function the encouragement and promo tion of dramatic, musical, and aliled tal ent in the student body through proper ly constituted and controlled student organizations." The members of the com mittee are. Dean C A.. Hibbard, Chair man, Professors George Howe, H. M. Jones, L. R. Wilson, Gerald Johnson, . J. Weaver, and F. H. Koch. The complete report of the Committee on Musical ana uramacicai Activities runs thus : "The Committee recognizes ; as . its function the encouragement and pro motion of dramatic, musical, and allied talent in the student body through pro perly constituted and controlled student organization. To this end jl adopts for its guidance the-following general prin ciples: "1.

' Originally, the date set for the choice was lust Friday, but it was decided that there wasn't any great hurry, especially several matters had not been obtained; so the time was postponed for a week or two. Mr. Woollen states that the selection will not be made until all the desired information is had. The Cora- mitte of Selection will be composed of President Chase, Mr. Woollen, Coach Bob Fetzer, two 'ulumtii, two students, and two members of the Faculty Committee on Athletics. Some 125 coaches ,have been recommended by alumni and others or have filed application for the position. The presence of two of the famous "Four Horsemen" of Notre Dame fame on the campus Monday and Tuesday caused more speculation. Harry Stuhl drelier, all-American quarterback, and Don Miller, star halfback, were here yesterday,, consulting with- University officials concerning the vacancies in the coaching staff. The two visiting members of the! "Four Horsemen" starred at Notre Dame for three years. They recently played at Coral Gables oii New Years day with a team of old Notre Dame stars against Princeton stars and emerged with a 6-0 victory. Since graduating from Notre Dame in the spring of 1924, Stuhldreher has been coaching at Villa Nova, and Miller has been assistant coach at Georgia Tech. Both of them have turned out teams of unusual merit. Both fellows are genial, unassuming and retiring, describes a prss report, and the' appear to take their football re- j cords as a matter of course and nothing unusual. After spending sometime here ; yesterday, they left for the western part of the state where they propose to estab lish a summer athletic camp for boys in the mountains of western North Caro lina.- .--.-.. , ... . The Ashevillc Citizen published Fri day a story to the effect that Tommy ; Campbell may return to the University as football coach, and his name leads the list. This rumor, like many others, is simply a rumor. Mr. Woollen states that he has been recommended and will receive consideration, but at the present the committee has no pets. At least they are not showing it if they have. : :: Campbell made his debut as a football coach at the University in 1916 when he produced one of the best teams ever had by the school.

PLAYMAKERSON LONG ITINERARY Leave Tomorrow For Two Weeks Tour of Three States. PRESENT 3 FOLK PLAYS Repertory Includes Quare Medicine, Fixin's, and Gaius and . (!aiun, Jr. Scribe Gives Reasons Why Open Forum Was Planned By J. B. Lewis Immediately following the debate be tween Oxford University and the Uni versity of North Carolina, it was sug gested that on open forum might be worked out for 'our. campus, whereby topics of importance might be discussed for the whole student body. The suggestion had been made to one of the Carolina debaters who quickly built high ideals for the literary group and began working cautiously, toward them. After weeks of thorough inves tigation, consideration, and thought, he talked over the plan with some of the leading faculty members by whom it was approved. Soon the facts were laid bare to one or two students in a confidential manner not in an underhand manner in order to see what a level-headed stu dent's reaction would be. Here also the proposition was approved ; therefore, the plans were proceeded with carefully. It was hoped to bring the proposition before the student body gradually so that It would receive , the serious con sideration of air concerned. This was the motive, of the originator as the best way in which to get the correct decision. It was known that to throw the question suddenly and hastily to tffe student body would mean certain failure. After weeks of toil and thought, details being semi planned, the measure was diseusu-d with nearly all of the leading students of the campus. Practically all of these seemed to be in favor of the plan from the out set, and all indications pointed to a very successful consideration of some plan whereby literary possibilities would be greatly elevated. With plans thought to be carefully laid and proponents of the measure hav ing risen from one to many, a series of letters was started in the Tar Ilsel so that the object of the motion could be absorbed before any definite action should be taken by either society. Naturally and for good i reasons, op ponets of the principal idea appeared. They developed a strong opposition as quickly as possible with the Intention of ..thwarting 'any" action by which the two societies should be consolidated. Then at the critical moment, many of the sup- porters of the move decided that they had made-a grave mistake and did not even wish such a motion discussed. Strengthened by this new support it was the work of only a short while to place the move and its supporters in a bad plight. Obviously the motion met with absolute failure in both societies. No one doubts that the societies were justi fied in.tlieir actions since the motion was defeated by such a large majority. Prac tically no one favored It in the Dl and only four or five adhered to the plan in the Phi.

Tonight at 7:30 Memorial Hall will be the scene of renewed discussion on the class president-student councilman ques tion which now holds the center of the stage In campus affairs. No vote bear ing directly on permanent settlement of the question will be taken at this meet ing but it will pave the wuy for the final vote which will probably come Friday Both sides will again bring forward their best points and . every effort will be made to convince those present that the plan is either absolutely essential or al together worthless.. AH students, inter ested in the passing or defeating of the. plan should endeavor to attend and. the others to whom the outcome Is immaterial should be on hand to hear the fiery speeches that will be made and the poli tical accusations that will be hurled. The date of this assembly was set at chapel period Tuesday morning, during a stormy session which bordered closely on verbal warfare. A motion to treat the plan as an unnecessary matter and not submit it to a formal vote had been made by the opposition at the close, of Monday's chapel conference. The men backing the plan had violently objected had been called to determine whether or to this proposal and Tuesday's meeting not such a motion should go through. President Fordham again presided. Political Motives Denied ' The first man to be recognized was S.. G. Chappell, an ardent supporter of the change, In Indignant tones he ex pressed the opinion that Monday's at tempt, to prematurely -crush the scheme was the culmination of a political ring's efforts to belittle the plan and put it aside before the student body as a whole had - a chance to assert itself in a re ferendum. Taylor Bledsoe, a constitu ent of Mr. Chappell, then rose and gave hearty concurrence., to the former's re marks. In a scathing denunciation of local political methods in general and this recent development In particular he said in ptirtf "The man who introduced that motion was a graduate student: who has been intimately connected with poli tics during his stay here. The claim is brought up that the men behind this plan have ulterior motives and are seeking personal advancement. It seems to me that this is a poor time for men who have taken active purts in the biggest frame ups of the past to yell politics."

Dne of the most unique and ingenious forms of athletics invented on the cam pus lately is the sport and diversion termed sledge-hammer golf. This is an interesting and practical sport for sev- eral: good reasons. The game was in vented by two chemistry students and is a result of the activity of the. Alembic or Chemistry Athletic Club. The game is. well liked by all who engage In It chiefly because it requires neither a great, amount of time nor money. The best thing about it is that anybody can engage in it at any time of day he gets ready. The game was invented mainly for the use of chemistry engineering stu dents and others who have to get a max imum amount of exercise hi a minimum amount ''of time. All In all, it Is a good game and serves its purpose al most to perfection. Sledge-hammer golf- Is especially liked by students who are taking chemistry or engineering because it can be engag ed in without changing clothes before ami after the game.- While football, baseball, track, and practically all other outdoor sports require several hours time every day because of the necessity of changing one's clot lies, this-engineer ing or sledge-hammer golf does not re quire the same thing of its participants. All a player has to do is just go out on the "golf-court", so-to-speak, and start right in playing the game.
