Carolina Fails to Show - Scintillating
Play Before Large Crowd in
Tin Can Tuesday Night.
A record crowd packed and jammed
every inch of space around the Tin Can
court Tuesday night to see the ; Tar
" Heels dig up their war hatchets and take
the warpath in search of sweet revenge,
n search that, was amply rewarded when
tlic scoring combination of Cobb, Nei
maii and Hackney literally buried the
husketball houpefuls of" Wake Forest
under a last minute scoring rally and
won by the count of 32 to 22.
A hint of foreboding swept through the
crowd of old men in the stands when the
Flying Phantoms took the court wear
ing the blue Jerseys, for the impression
still sticks that the dark shirts carry a
certain hoodoo for the basketball chances
of Carolina. The memory of the South
Carolina and Washington and Lee games
of last year still remains, both of those
games being lost while the Tar Heels
cavorted in their dark jerseys. How
ever the Hillians knew no such super
stition and proceeded to hand the old
hoodoo a wallop while giving Wake
Forest the-walloping.
The contest got away to a slow start
in the opening minutes, with both fives
showing some ragged work. The baskets
seemed to have a certain ability to repel
the ball rather than attract it, and shot
after shot caromed onto the hoop and
rolled off to almost breaking the heart
of the players and. crowd. The Tar
Heels could not get started, passing
with slippery fingers and shooting with
heartbreaking results, and the Demon
Deacons jumped to the fore with a double
score at 10 and 5, but as the game pro
gressed the Carolinians recovered their
.equilibrium and swept the Baptists off
their feet with an invincible attack in
the closing minutes of play.
The Carolina quint began the scoring
in the first minute on a' foul shot by
Cobb, but Joe Ellington, Wake Forest's
elusive sorrel-topped forward, rung a
long one and put his team out in front,
The shooting see-sawed for several min
utes, with the Deacons holding the van
until the last minute of the first half,
when the Phantoms got away to a' one
point lead at 11 and 10. "Sprodie" Cobb
sent the Tar Heels into lead when he
enmc galloping down the court and
swMied a pot-shot through the nets
from the far reaches of the floor.
After intermission the Carolina toss-
ers came back and started the play with
new-found pep that dawled the Deacons.
Several times the Individual Tar Heels
put pluys over on the Baptists that left
the Old Goal and Black trailing ond

DEBATE PR1LIMINARIES
TO BE HELD TOMORROW
Di and Phi Will Hold Preliminaries for
The Inter-Society Freshman
Sophomore Debate.
Both the Di and Phi -Literary Soci
eties will hold preliminaries tomorow
night in their respective halls for the
purpose of selecting teams to represent
their societies in the inter-society freshman-sophomore
debate, which will take
Place on March 6, 1926.
The question for discusion is Retolvti:
That the Governor of North Carolina
should have the veto power. It is known
that a large number of men have been
working consistently for some time, and
the preliminaries .should prove f
nigh quality. . V'
The affirmative will be upheld by the
Phi Sophomores and by the DI Fresh
men while the negative will be defended
y Phi Freshmen and DI Sophomores.
On the night of the finals the Freshman
'earn from the DI will Journey over to
the Phi Hall and try to capture laurels
from the home team, while the same
thing will occur in the cause of the Phi
Sophomores. This plan Is adhered to
ech succeeding year so that the men
making the debate on both of their first
'wo years will have the chance of ap
pearing in both halls and not in either
hall twice . '
The decision was won last year by the
P'1 Freshmen and the Di Sophomores.
This debate along with the Mary D.
Wright Debate furnishes the high rival
ry between the two societies. On ac
count of this fact much Interest is al
y taken by the society members as
whole.
JOHNSON LAUDED
BY MISS LEWIS
News and Observer Columnist

nalism Professor. .
WILL BE MISSED IN N. C
Announcement of Resignation of Prof.
Gerald W. Johnson Made
Recently.
"Gerald W. Johnson is an unfailing
well of satire, courage, and eloquence,
ahd the state will sorely miss him," states
Miss Nell Battle Lewis, Raleigh Newt
and Ohnrver columnist, in the Sunday
issue of that daily, in which Miss Lewis
praised in definite and panegyric terms
Prof. Johnson, whose resignation from
the University faculty to take effect at
the end of the present scholastic year
was recently announced hi the state dail
ies,
commenting upon the resignation
Miss Lewis states, "He will become an
editorial writer on the Baltimore Even-
in Sum.; That is had news, hut by no
means unexpected. Nobody can blame
him for leaving. North Carolina does
not offer any considerable future, for
a writer of his unusual gift." . ;
It . is generally understood that Mr.
Johnson will go with the Baltimore pa
per at the close of the scholastic year,
altho he has neither denied or confirmed
the announcement of Ms resignation
published In the state dailies last week.
It is thought that he is keeping with
custom, and that his resignation will be
announced at commencement, as is cus
tomary. Prof. Johnson came to the Uni
versity to establish the School of Journal
ism from the editorial staff of the
Greensboro Daily Newt two years ago.
Hiss loss from the faculty and the cam
pus will be great. No announcement has
been made as to who his probable suc
cessor will be. .
Miss Lewis thinks that North Carolina
lost most of Gerald Johnson two years
ago when "he retired from active news
paper work and started teaching." How
ever, she trust tnut he has inspired
diverj of youths and maidens", but she
a little doubtful of the value of
journalism schools, for site has never had

1924 Team.
AID FETZER AND LOWE
Not Selected for Permanent Job
Coahing Winter Football Squad.
It has been definitely announced . that
"Chuck" Collins, end on the famous
Notre Dame "Four Horseman" team of
1924, has been secured by University au
thorities to aid the coaching staff with
Winter foot-bnll practice and will be on
hand today to undertake his new duties
at once. The selection of a permanent
couch bus been postponed until a future
date ! not made known at the present
time and ofltciuls declare that the com
ing of Collins has nothing to do with
the matter.
Nothing need be said of Knute
Rockne's wonderful eleven, which won
the National Championship of the United
States and is conceded to have been the
most formidible foot-ball aggregation of
modern times, for every follower of the
gridiron is familiar with its history.
Carolina supporters are enthusiastic and
consider it indeed fortunate that one of
its members has been secured as an ad
dition to the coaching staff, even though
only temporarily, for he should prove a
valuable asset In the training of the far
Heel grldmen. His arrival gives added
impetus to the winter training period
and should result In candidates to swell
the already fairly large number out.
Collins comes as a man of unquestioned
experience and ability, both as a player
and a coach, having been associated with

FACULTY OF N. C. C. W.
URGE CHASE TO REMAIN
Expressing the hope that Dr. Chase
would not leave the state to take
over the presidency of the University
of Orgon, which has been offered him,
the faculty of the North Carolina Col
lege for Women at a meting Tuesday
passed a resolution declaring that if
President Chase should leave the Uni
versity it would mean a great loss to
the state and endorsed him as the
friend of toleration and freedom in
North Carolina. Dr. Foust, president
of the Grensboro "sister institution,"
was present and aided in the passing
of the resolution, and pledging him
suport in his stand for educational
and moral progress at the Unfversity
and in the state. Dr. Foust wired
President Chase, who is now in the
West, of the action taken.
TAR BABIES LOSE
TO W.&L. FROSH
Lose First Game on Trip By
One Point.
TWO REMAINING GAMES
On Virginia Schedule Wind Up Sea'
soil With 3 Games Here.
Coach Carlisle Shepherd's freshman
basketball team experienced rather hard
luck in their first encounter . on the
Virginia trip, losing to the strong
Wasington and Lee first year team by
the one-point margin of 29-28. Accord
ing to reports, it was one of the most
exciting and hardest fought games ever
seen on a Lexington court and the out
come was in doubt until the referee s
whistle had put an end to the fracas.
The Tar Babies led by Captain Satter
field, staged a wonderful comeback in
the last few mjniites of play, and had
they had a few minutes more to play the
result, of the game would probably have
been different.
Washington and Lee is reputed to have
one or the best freshman teams In the
entire South. They have defeated all
comers ' and not once this season have
they tasted of defeat. However, .. the
Carolina frosh certainly did throw a
scare into their camp and the Little
Generals, had to put forth" their utmost
efforts in order to emerge victorious.
After playing the V. M. I. Rats and
Woodberry Forest, the Tar Babies will
return to their own stamping grounds
and begin preparation for the three re
maining games on the schedule. Next
Monday night, Coach "Ikey" Taylor will
bring his Duke Red Devils ovea- to the
Hill" for a little setto with Couch
Shepherd's men. This will be the first
time this season that these two teams
have met, and the contest promises to be
very interesting one. On the follow
ing Friday, Captain Satterfield will lead
his men against Captain Frank Good
win's State freshman team in an effort
to avenge the defeat that was adminis
tered to them during the earlier part of
the. season. The team now "is an alto
gether different one from that which op
posed the Cubs in the former encounter.
Coach Shepherd Jias been drilling his
men hard and the" quint has shown re
markable improvement and is now ca
pable of holding its own against any
first year team in the state. Then on
the next night the Tar Babies will close
their present season with a game with
the Duke frosh in Durham..

North Carolina Supreme Court was the

to his position.
"The moral conception and perception
of the people with whom you deal is you

his overdrawn account, "the chief jus-
ticc declared, "for you are teaching him
principles of honesty and integrity that
he will carry with him to the end."
The meeting which convened at, the
Carolina Inn was one of the most largely

The Tar Heel grapplers are scheduled

gregation In the Tin Can Friday night,
in a meet that will decide the champion-
hip of the. State and bids fair to be
the most exciting and hard-fought en
counter of the year. Both the Tar Heel
and Duke mat-men have been going
strong this season and neither are an
ticipating defeat when the fur begins
to fly down in the "Can" to-morrow
night.
Duke comes to the "hill" with a team
of veterans that have annexed every
state title since the beginning of wrest
ling as an intercolligiote sport in North
Carolina, and the Southern title one sea
son as well. The sport is a compar
atively new one for Carolina as not until

TAR HEELS INVADE
TECH LAIR TONIGHT
Wolf pack Tossers Determined
To WinYelping From
Last Defeat.
STATE HAS STRONG FIVE
However, They Face Quint That Dope
sters Pick for Conference Laurels.
For the second time this season Tech
and Tar Heel will meet on the basket
ball court when the Carolina tossers in
vade the Capital City tonight in an ef
fort Co tally their second straight win
over the lads from N. C. State. The
game will bring together the two lead
ing teams in the state collegiate circles,
and playing in the new Frank Thompson
Memorial Gymnasium they should draw
one f the largest crowds- df the year.
The Techmen were met and defeated
on the Tin Can court before the Hillians
left foV their long northern swing, the
score at the end of the game standing
at 31 to, 21 In favor of the Tar Heel
quint. Tonight the State College outfit
will be defending their own home floor,
and will be . fighting for a victory to
wipe out the remembrance of that first
defeat, incidentally the only defeat suf
fered by the Statf. team at the hands of
a North Carolina five this year.
Although the two'teams mtve met
and been compared in action against
each other the result tonight is far from
a sure thing, for the Techmen that is
never more dangerous than when roam
ing the confines of their native hearth
In Captain Fletcher Dickens the State
team has a fighting leader and one of
the fastest and most accurate shooting
forwards in the state. He has led hii
team's attack In almost every game this
year, and is practically assured of a
berth on the mythical All-State outfit
at the close of the season next week.
His value to his team is shown by the
difference in the scores of the two
Georgia Tech Games. The first one
he was out and State lost by one point,
while in the second one he shot nearly
half State's points and Georgia Tech
was defeated by 15 points. So Dickens
will he a constant threut and will call
for elosc work by the Tar Heels guards.
Oolher -Techmen who may get loose are
Greshum, Spence and McDowell, nil fine
shots and fast on the floor.
To match this crew of brilliant play
ers Coach Sanburn will send his regu
lar team,,, nearly the same team that
brought the Southern Championship
back to the "Hill" last March. Jack
Cobb will more than match Captain
Dickens on point scoring, and he has a
shade the better of the Tech leader on
his -floor game. He should lead the
Carolina attack, and with Bunn Hack
ney and Bill Deven to assist in the drive
the Tar Heels will be a hard bunch to
stop. A defeat tonight will materially
darken their State Championship claims
and they will be fighting with more than
usual ferocity and drive.. ,'
The Tar Heels complete defeat handed
to Wake Forest Tuesday nhrht elves
them a better rating, and they will go
to Raleigh tonight as the favorites inj

NEW YORK STRING
QUARTET SUPERB
Small Audience Hears Best
Concert of Season.
AN EXCELLENTPROGRAM
Quality of Music Enriched by Talented
Work of Artists.
The New York String Quartet gave
a performance In Gerrard Hall Tues
day night to an extremely small audience.
This was more than unforutnate, for
no musical event of recent years has
remotely approached the concert rend
ered by these men. The personnel of
the quartet consisted of Ottokar Cadek,
first violin, Jaroslav Siskovsky, second
violin, Ludvik Schwab, viola, and Bed
rich Vasko, cello. The term has be
come trite and comonplace from too
frequent use, yet it is impossible to omit
the statement that each of the members
of the quartet was an artist In the most
elevated sense of the word. They were
tar superior to the Lply or the Chernl
avsky Trio or, In fact, lo any group that
has been heard on the Hill. They were
masters of music us well as masters of
their individual instruments, and such a
combination resulted In rare and unsur
passed harmony. There was no scratch
ing, no harsh over-emphasis or weak
points of interpretation only a smooth
blend of inspired - sound. Tone and
shading were superbly handled and the
moments of sustained ensemble work
were nothing short of perfection.
Smetana's E Minor Quartet, From Mu
Life, was a thing of wonder, a true epic
pdem of chords and notes. Smetana.
founder of the Bohemian school of music,
had a triumphant career which was
cruelly ended by deafness and conse
quent nervous collapse. The E Minor
Quartet was no mere combination but
an episodic picture of his life. The first
movement, Allegro vivo appatiionata,
was a vibrant musical transecrlptlon of
his romantic youth, touched bv an under
lying yearning for complete expression.
From this he passed to the allegro mod
erate a la Polka whieh rpfW1 1.
