TAR HEELS MEET
DEACONS TONIGHT
Baptists Won First Game By
One Point Margin.
SANBURN MEN HAVE EDGE
Comparative Scores Give Hillians
Edge But Close Score
Predicted.
For the second time. this season the
Tar Heels will meet the Demon Deacons
on the basketball court and tonight the
game will be played on the Carolina
floor. The Baptists won the first clash
on their home territory by a margin of
one lone point, emerging winner on the
big end of a 28 to 29 count, and tonight
the Hillians will ctart the game a solid
intention of bringing back the big score.
Since that first meeting of the two
teams the Tar Heels and Deacons have
met several other North Carolina teams,
and a comparison of scores gives the
University lads a decided advantage in
the nre-game dope, though of course
dope is ever an uncertain portion. So
casting the topic of dope and predic
tions aside the game tonight should be
a corker from the first whistle to the
last." - U
The Techmerj have defeated the Bap
tists twice, the first time by a margin
of four points and the second time by
a score of 27 to 18. The Wake Forest
tossers have also met Duke twice, win
ning both contests from the Methodist
by small scores., Carolina has met and
defeuted both of those quints by heavy
scores, and has also won from Guilford
by an overwhelming , lead after the
Quakers had won from Wake Forest on
the Wake Forest court
Following the game tonight there is
three more games on the Hillians sched
ule. One of the games to be played on
the Tin Can Court and the other two
on the road. State and Duke will be
met on the road on Thursday and Satur
day nights this week, and the Davidson
Wildcats come here next Tuesday night
for the final contest on the schedule be
fore the team leaves for -the Tournament
All of .these games will be. had contests
and will count a great deal in the State
Championship race.
The entire Carolina squad returned
from the long jaunt through the North
in fine shape, and they will enter to
night's tame with a fine chance for a
win. Just who Coach Sanburn will start
is doubtful. The shifting of Captain
Dodderer to forward has given added
strength, and so Cobb and Dodderer
will probably be at the offensive posl
tions, with either Newcomb or Van
story at center, and Devin and Hackney
at the guards. Wake Forest will prob
ably present much the same line-up as
she did in the previous game, with the
addition of "Cowboy" Emerson, captain
of the Deacons' 1925 team.

To Remain At University

RUMORED OHIO WANTS CHASE
Prof. Graham In Pertinent Address
States Position of University
President Now in California.
At a special meeting of the general
faculty of the University held Friday
afternoon, Professor frank: f. uranam
introduced a resolution urging President
Harry W. Chase, who is now in Oregon
to consider the offer of ihe presidency
of the University of Oregon that the
board of regents of that Institution ten
dered him last week, to retain the presi
dency of the University of North Caro
lina. The resolution was unanimously
adopted by the faculty, and was dis
patched to the President,
Sunday Dr. James.. F. Royster, dean
of the graduate school and chairman of
the resolution committee, received a re
ply from President Chase, in which the
President expresses his appreciation or
the "splendid faculty resolutions." He
also dispelled the rumor that he would
announce his decision before his return
to North Carolina. Another telegram
to Claude Currie, his secretary, an
nounced that -contrary to press reports
he would be given two weeks after his
return to Chapel Hill to make his de
cision on the offer of the Oregon presi
dency. The presidency of the Pacific
coast university was formerly tendered
Dr. Chase last Monday, and press re
ports stated that he was given only two
weeks to render his decision, but his
message to Secretary Currie corrects
that error.
The telegram of President Chase in
reply to the resolutions of the faculty,
which was addressed to Chairman J. F.
Royster, runs thus i -
"Please express my deep and sincere
appreciation of the splendid faculty res
olutions. I have not yet had a moment
for thoughtful reflection, but will make
my decision on my return."
Ohio Wanted Pres. Chase
Since Dr. Chase has left for the Pacift
const to consider the Oregon offer, per
sistent rumors have prevailed on the
campus that Ohio State Unievrsity has
offered him the presidency of that in
stitution. According to. statement, i
member of the University faculty is re-,
sponsible for the rumor, but will not al
low his name to be mentioned to sub
stantiate it.
It is recalled that about a year ago
Ohio State University had something of
a feeler out for Dr. Chase, coming at a
time when the premature publication of
a story that he was considering an offer
of the presidency of a polytechnic school
in New York caused him to decline the
offer. His reply at that time is thought

STRING QUARTET
IS HERE TONIGHT
Noted New York Organization
Appears in Gerrard Hall
V Tonight.
STARTED BY PULITZER
Gotham Critics Highly Praise Quar
tet from Every Angle.
The New York String Quartet, which
is to play here this evening at 8:30 in
Gerrard Hall was organized by the pro
prietor of a famous newspaper.
Ralph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New
York World, and Mrs. Pulitzer, who Is
a fine musician, have had many notable
private musicales in their home, and in
1919 the assembled the four muscians
who are the personnel of the quartet.
The playing of these men was so im-
presive that Mr. and Mrs. Putlizer en
dowed the quartet, stipulating that no
public appearance were to be made un
til three years after the date of the
founding. In these three years, the mem
bers of the quartet played together con
stantly, even spending their summer va
cations together so that the work might
not be interrupted. They gave many
programs in the home of the founders
and acquired) an extensive repertoire
which included all of the classic works
for four strings as well as many novelties.
In the fall of 1922, the New York
String Quartet made its public aeDUi
in Aeolian Hall, and justified in every
way the hopes of the founders. They
were welcomed by critics and the music
lovers of New York discovered that
here was an ensemble which had some
thing distinctive to offer. The succeed-
; concerts' were' well attended, and
within a. few months, the New lorn
String Quartet had found for itself a
place with the great chamber music
organizations of the day.
: Each member of the quartet is a vir
tuoso on his instrument, but this virtu
osity is used only as a means to ob
tain a perfect ensemble. It has been
said of the quartet that it plays like one
intrument, having the lowest tones of
the 'cello and the , highest notes of the
violin. ? ! 1
New York critics gladly welcomed the
organization when it made its debut last
season.,
The Herald noted that "the artists
showed admirable spirit and intelligence
in their Interpretation." The American
said that the playing was "notable for
vitality, color and smooth co-operation.
Deems Taylor in the World remarked
that nhe players have fine tone and col
or, their balance is excellent, and their
sense of design and grasp of musical
content is exceptional. Their perform
ance .gave evidence of careful prepara
tion, for they played with aeligntiui
flexibility and unanimity of intention .
The Globe found that they "gave pro
mise of justifying predictions or a bril
liant future". The Journal hailed the
four player as "a valuable, indeed, a
arther brilliant addition to the town's
musical life". The Evening Mail predict
ed that they "should find an enthusias
tic public, both for the fineness of their
playing and for the musical worth of
their offering". The Evening World com
mended the "precision in attack" and
"the sensitive response by all the com
poser's Intent and to each other's pur
pose". The season was epitomized by the
Evening Journal after the Quartet's
third New York concert
"The Quartet in its first season" said

Great Demand.
Joint Meeting Of Di And
Phi Is Serene Session
A mild yet instructive meeting of the
two literary societies was held in joint
session owlast Saturday night in the Di
hall. From the beginning the meeting
was calmly taken by the members, never
more than one or two applicants seek
ing the floor at once.
There was-no business with the excep
tion of an announcement by senator
Hudgins to the effect that the prelimi
naries for the Fresh-Sopho inter-society
debate would be held next Friday night
in the Di hall. Senator Jonas' resolu
tion that Colonel Mitchell's plan for the
reorganization of the nation's military
forces should be adopted was passed over
without discussion or vote:
""The measure as drawn by Senator
King was then thrown open for discus
sion. It was: Retolved, That a commit
tee be appointed to draw up a constitu
tion upon which campus government shall
be basedSenator Block, in a very force
f ul manner, introduced the resolution,
stating that the present offices overlapped
and that no man knew what the duties
of his bfflce called for. He continued
that the commitee was to-be appointed
with the purpose of studying the exist
ing condition on other campuses, noting
the failures, backings, and successes as
well. "After several months of work
such a committee would draw up a con
stitution which would serve to define
the offices, the duties of those holding
them and the rules of eligibility of these
same ones for the offices," he concluded.
In' a brief and concise form Olive pre
sented the following objections to the
plans First, our system of government
is different from that of the United
States government; rather it is like that
of England unwritten. Second, a con
stitution is very limiting, stating what
should be done and what cannot be done,
In this connection it was brought out
that it would do away with the honor
system and put campus life on an art!
flcial basis. Third, to codify our laws
would be to do away with elasticity of
our camus life.
Chappell expressed himself as being
heartily In favor of a committee making

"Technique of Spiritual Life" Is Sub
ject of Last Lecture. .
Hon. J. Stitt Wilson concluded his
series of Lectures here with a very il
luminating talk on the "Technique , of
the Spiritual Life" which he gave be
fore a large audience in Gerrard Hall .
Friday night. , Mr. Wilson discussed this
subject from the standpoint of spiritual -
realism. "The Protestant Church is sadly
deficient in the practice of the technique
of developing the spiritual life, and the'
average person is even without a tech
nique," declared the eminent Californ-
"Technique is not theory; it is the
actual putting into practice of a thing
or principle."
Mr. Wilson described his first princi
ple in the technique of religion as the
"pivotal promise," first pointing out the
fact that nearly all of the business of the
world is carried on through promises.
It is a great thing to be able to make
and keep promises. It is a great thing
to be not afraid to make ; promise.
Keeping a promise is, something divine;
it a point of ' honor. A man can not
build up a great character unless he
makes a pivotal promise with God. The
grandest moment in life is when a man
says, 'I am going to do my duty to God
and Man.' "
,"The next great principle is prayer,
the most marvelous capacity of human
consciousness. Prayer is the soul's great
desire for expression. All great men have
prayed. With Plato, it amounted to a
sort of 'divine madness' or insanity
wherever anything religious was con
cerned.
Mr. Wilson commented with much
feeling on the unhappy tendency of the
average college student of today to be
ashamed of prayer, saying that.a student
would often be led away from prayers
learned at his mothers knee because of
"But, after all," said the speaker, "what
will it matter in twenty or thirty or
even ten years a certain fraternity or
college group thought of you? In time,
the best of them will learn to respect
you, and the opinions of the worst of
them will not hurt you."
Mr. Wilson defined his third and
fourth points, which he did not have
time to discuss, as "faith in God" and
"familiarity with the life and teachings
of Jesus Christ," ' regretting that his
lack of time kept him from giving a
detailed description of these two greatest-principles
connected with his subject
After the completion of his lecture
Mr. Wison, as is his custom, conducted
forum for those who wished to stay
to ask questions. Many stayed, and a
multiplicity of queries were answered by
the speaker.
Mr. Wilson is the most popular and
pleasing speaker to appear here in many
day. He does not stand stiffly upon
a platform ana "talk down to nis
audience as many speakers do, but he
comes down and mingles with his aud
ience, ' striding up and down the aisles,
releasing a rapid fire barrage of logic
all the while. He frequently makes use
of the blackboard in his lectures and
likes to illustrate his points with matha-
matical figures. He is not sensational,
