The "Flving Phantoms" uuleiiKhed
,twililcring attack against the Catholic
Iniversitv tossers in Washington 1' rutay
night, ami before the formidable Brook
land quint recovered its equilibrium the
Oiirolinn aggregation ran up n score
that the lads from the national capital
vfTe nimble to overcome. The Tar
Heels outclassed their opponents ut all
times and won the contest by a score of
12 to 25.
With "Sprat" Cobb leading the way
throughout the grume the Southern
rli'imnions held the lead from beginning
to the end of the scrap, with the Brook
hinders threatening only twice during
the battle. Once In the first half the
Wiishingtonians pulled up to within
three points of the flying southerners,
and ngain in the final period they re
pealed the stunt.
Cobb Scintillates in Attack
It was just a case of too big a dose
of Cobb for the Catholic quint, for that
Carolina star scintdlated and made the
whole works luminous by the brilliance
of his play. Hither and yon, from the
far reaches of the court to the goal,
Cobb roamed at will and dropped five
beautiful' shots through the netting from
every angle. In addition to his floor
game he counted four" points from the
free throw mark, and it was his accurate
shooting that kept the victors in the van
of the scoring parade.
From the very start of the encounter
the Phantoms took the lead. Bunn Hack
ney sunk a pot-shot from the middle of
the floor, and Dodderer, jumped into a
scrimmage under the basket and batted
the ball . through the goal for another
two-pointer. After Holey, running guard
for the Catholic quint, had sniped off
two goals on speedy dribbles, Cobb sent
the Tar Heels into the van again on u
sudden spurt, and helped to Jiold them
there for the rest of the game.
The Southerners led at the half 19-12,
and from the start of the final round
they held on to that lead with sheer bril
liance of play. Pursuing with a dogged
persistence the Washingtonians kept al
ways within a few points Of them, but
that persistence was never quite enough
to bridge the gap. v ;
Foley started a 'rally,' and with '' their
tram standing nine points in the rear,
their three baskets from scrimmage put
them to within three notches of the top
round with six minutes to play. Jack

Another very interesting meeting.
marked by numerous and heavy fines,
was thoroughly enjoyed by the Phi As

the absence of both the speaker and the
speaker-pro-tem, H. V. Chappell pre
sided. . ,
The enrollment of new members ad
vanced beyond the 35 mark at last meet
ing when Miles, Taylor, Chadwick, and
Stokes' were initiated into the Assembly.
It is also understood that several are
on deck for next Saturday week, since
a joint meeting is to be held on Febru
ary 13.
The only motion on the desk ran as
follows! Be it moved that the Phi As
sembly, according to agreement, which
's reached In the joint meeting of the
Di and Phi, change the night of meeting
from Saturday night to Thursday, l'he
chief argument for the motion was that
the busses furnished excellent means of
conveyance for the students who wished
t leave the Hill for week-ends. Jn this
connection it was brought out that the
attendance would be larger if held on
one of the week nights other than Sat
Wfdny night. On the other hand, the
opponents protested that the many cam
Pi's activities held the attention of the
sl'ilents on nearly all nights except
Saturday. They thought that the re
ce''t membership drive would do much
' boost the attendance.

A fairly good crowd was pij hand to
witness the exhibition and they were cer

to be a real tussle. The visitors had the
edge so far as weight was concerned,
but what. Coach Quintan's men lacked in
brawn they inure than made up for in
fight. From the opening match until the
last, dull moments were few und far be

replete with terrific fighting and the
cleanest of sportsmanship.

The executives of winter football
training at the University have complet

about, a sudden and complete change in
the attitude of students towards the
dailv practices held on the freshman
field. - .
Candidates have been divided into two
squads of apparently equal strength.
Kach squad Will be a separate and dis

camps. ' v .
Members of the respective 'units will
practice daily in prtparlifln for the
"battle-royals" which will take place

Two years ago during the graduating

sat down on the platform of the Old
Well to rest a few minutes from their
unusual exertions resulting from dying
memories into somewhat of a continuity
with the realistic present. After pant

Appreciates Resolutions from Commit
tee Appoints Himself Alumnus of
University. .
The members of the Faculty Commit
tee on Athletics of the Uiversity, in ses
sion recently, passed resolutions ex
pressing "to their friend and colleague,
William McK. Fctzer, their deep app
eiation of his high character and valua
ble, services to the University, and their
sincere regret that he hud sent in his
resignation as athletic coach.
"Coming to the Vnlversity at a criti
cal period in our athletics," the resolu
tion continued, "he has wrought untir
ingly to serve the highest ends of sport
to afford needed exercise and healthy
competition, to bring victory to our col
ors, in which he was highly successful,
but, in addition, to inculcate those ideas
of sportsmanship and manly behavior
without Which victory 'is meaningless,
and, indeed, a menace.
"To his unfailing courtesy, good tem
per, and cooperation, his wholesome In
Huenee, and his willful services as a
coach the result of his long and success
ful experience we desire to bear hearty
tribute, and we extend to him and Mrs.
Fetzer our heartfelt wishes for continued
uecess, happiness, and long life."
It - was about the ' middle of January
that Coach Bill Felzer resigned his po
sition as coach. Since that time he has
established himself ori his farm near
Brevard, in Western North Carolina,
where he has entered the real estate
game, l.ast luesuay mere came an an
nouncement from Brevard that a son,
William McK., Jr., was born on Monday.
Last week the committee on athletics
received a letter iroiu.umcli 15111 m

the letter. He wrote that he had ap
pointed himself an alumnus of the Uni
versity and that he would always be in
ferested in the University. Every spring

HOBBS MAKES ADDRESS
ATLANTA CONVENTION
Tells Southern Association of Agricul
tural (Workers Why Farmer's
Tax Burden Is So High.
The Uniled States Naval Academy
basketeers triumphed over a hrilliunl
quintet of southerners trom the Uni
versity of North Carolina at Annapolis
Saturday atterimon in one of the closest
basketball games ever witnessed on the
Navy floor by a count of HI to 30. The
victors only emerged with their one
point win after two extra five mjniitc
periods' had been played, for the two
teams knotted the count during the regu
lar time allotted for a court game.
Bolh quints played aggressive basket
hull from the first whistle of the game,
and throughout four rough quurters the
score remained close, with neither team
gaining a lead ot more than two field
goals. First one leaiii would forge
ahead with u field basket or n point from
the free throw line, only to have the
core reknolted a moment later by a
spurt ot the opposing tossers.
Carolina Started Scoring
Vanstory starled the scoring for the
southerners a short tune after play be-
gun with a beautiful field basket, and
"Sprodie" Cobb tallied another a mo
ment after his running mate had broken
the ice over the basket. With a four
point lead staring them in the face the
Navy tossers started a climb upward,
and fighting desperately "for the honor
of the navy," they knotted 'the score at
four-all on two tosses f'nm the floor
by Graf, Navy's right guard.
From that time on it was nip and
tuck uft'uir with neither Nip nor Tuck
able to gain much advantage. The ser
vice team led at half time by two points,
the score being 15 and 13.
Bunn Hackney spurted up in the be
ginning of the last semester and opened
with a basket from a flying drive down
the floor. Then from 15-ull.the lead al
ternated from one five to the other until
the timer's whistle culled a hull at the
end of the forty minute serumhle. The
scorer cheeked his uccotiuts and bal
anced his books with 25 on each side of
the ledger. ' The referee called an extra
period.
Two Periods Necessary ,
The Tar Heels began to weaken under
the strain of the fast aggressive play.
Having phtyed three hard games in three
nights they felt the strain more than
the flying Blues, hut thanks to the des
perate sprint by Hackney the two teams
knotted up again ut 27 to 27, and while
the crowd tensed their nerves for more
excitement, the two quints started on
the final lap. ' 1

Humor wus the chief feature of the
program in the meeting of the Di Senate
Saturday night. The session thoroughly'
discredited any belief that Senators must
at all times conduct themselves with an
appearance o austerity and it also dis
avowed the assumption that such a body
must discuss serious subjects unremit
tingly, or grave subjects in a Jovial
light. '
In the absence of President Crissnian,
the , president pro-tern, Julian Busby,
presided, who carried his characteristic
fun into his official task, and was usually
content to let the Senators conduct the
business as they chose. "l'he Williums
plan of polities was to be discussed, but
due to some of the Senators' wishes that
another resolution lie brought us this
resolution was decided to be deferred
until the next Saturday nieeting. In

in the passage of it, other than a certain
Senator who Jumped hastily to the floor
and seconded the resolution by mistake.
