Tuesday.

Devin Is Left Out of Game On Ac
count of Recent Illness,
Practically the entire student body
packed the stands around the Tin Can
court Tuesday night to see the Tar
Heels play their last home basketball
gninc of the season. The Southern Cham
pions reached the heights to pull the
curtain down on their pre-tournnmcnt
campaign, and as the curtain fell it
brought with it a literal shower of field
pinls and foul baskets, Myriad points
fell on the Carolina side of the ledger
and buried the Wildcats from' David
ton College under a 53 to 18 score.
It was u brilliant and unstoppable
iiiit that took the court in spick and
span uniforms against the Red and
Mack outfit, and never at any time did
(lie visiting tossers offer any great ob
stacle to the whirling dervishes that
left streaks of white behind as they
played the floor. Dribbling and pass
ing their way around and through the
Davidson busketeers, the Tar Heels
swept down the court time after ime to
cage beautiful shots from all angles.
The first half was all for Carolina, but
not until the final semester did the Hill
ians loose their greatest scoring attack.
The Carolina players were all over the
court in that half, and the visiting quint
never knew exactly what was happen
ing. Ncwcomb, Cobb, Hackney and Cap
tain Dodderer fairly outdid themselves
in their efforts to furnish the crowd
with thrills.
"Sprat" Cobb was singing his "swan
song" to the North Carolina college
courts and what a song that was! Cobb
failed to tally his usual high total of
points, but his floorwork was' a pretty
sight, and time after time he fed the
ball. to his teammates at .the precise mo
ment when they were in the best place
to shoot. There was something uncanny
in the way he could devine when New-
comh, Dodderer, or Hackney were in
a mood to drop one through, and al
ways he passed it with accuracy and
fine timing.
There was, however, something of the
ironic in the will of the Fates that ruled
"Sprodie" out of his farewell game on
personal fouls. He marked up his last
counters on. a beautiful pot-shot just a
few minutes before he was forced from
the floor. When the last foul was made,

GOOD BOXING CARD IN
SATURDAY'S MEET HERE
Elimination Contests for Men to Make
Virginia Trip Held' by Coach
Rowe's Men.
The large crowd that, gathered In .the
Tin Can Saturday night td witness the
exhibition bouts, put. on by Coach Rowe's
charges for the purpose of determining
the men, to make the trip into Virginia
this week, were certainly ..amply' re
warded for their trouble. The Tar Heel
mit-men put up a series of scrappy en
counters to win their places on the team,
mauling each other with skill and power
that spells trouble for their opponents
this season, and showing marked re
sults of the intensive training they have
been under-going in preparation for the
event. .,.! "
The match, as announced in Saturday's
Tab IIkhi, was held in order to pick
by elimination the men who will repre
sent Carolina on the Virginia trip. The
team leaves tonight for Charlottesville,
where they will hook up with the strong
University of Virginia aggregation,, and
from their journey on to Rlacksburg to
engage the V. P, I. leather pushers on
Saturady night. This trip is a most
important one-as the outcome of the two
meets is expected to have some bearing
on the decision as to whether or not the
monogram will be awarded for boxing.
Little is known as to the strength of the
V. P. I. team, but Virginia is known
to be exceptionally strong. Last Thurs
day night the Cavaliers, defeated Colgate
with four regulars, including Captain
Al Yorn, kept from entering the ring on
account of disabilities of one sore or
another and thus being forced to use
the greater part of their second string
fighters. They have meets scheduled
with such teams as, the University of
Pennsylvania and Notre Dame.
The bouts Saturday night were all
clean but hard fought affairs, four
rounds being required in several in
stances M decide the winner. The squad
has been working out under the super
vision of Coach Crnyton Rowe every af
ternoon since the beginning of the
winter quarter, and the meet found the

MEN ARE SELECTED FOR
GLEE CLUB TRIP NORTH
Club Goes to South Carolina, Then to
Baltimore, Washington, Phila
delphia, and New York.
The list of Glee Club men who have
been chosen to make the trip to South
Carolina and then northward to Balti
more, Washington, New York, and Phila
delphia was posted Sunday morning.
At the rehearsals held every afternoon
and often at night during the past few
weeks, the officers have endeavored to
find the group of men which would
present the best possible program in
the intercollegiate contest to be held in
New York on March 6 at Carnegie Hall.
From a number of over a hundred at
the beginning of the season, the group
has been diminished until a choir of
thirty voices have been chosen for the
trip beginning February 29 and ending
March 8. Although only thirty men will
make this quarter's tour, a wealth of
good material furnishes the officers
with a irroup which makes possible fre
quent changes in personnel. Attendance
at rehearsals during the first part of
this week will be required of every
member who has been chosen for the
trip. Any failure upon the part of a
singer to meet the scholastic and disci
ulinary requirements will cause the tem
porary suspension of that man from the
Club. .'
Low ranee, first tenor who was chosen
to make the entire tour, will be unable
lo make the trip since he underwent an
emergency operation at StatesviHe Sun
day morning for appendicitis. I he
tpmnorarv loss of Lowrance, who Is an
old member of the organization, is deeply
regretted by the whole club.

Arna Heni gave an extremely inter
esting reading of Peer Gynt in the new
Playmaker building last Monday even
ing before a few . scattered dozens -.of
enthusiasts. The small crowd may be
accounted for , by press notices having
been published; there were only a few
only who were lucky enough to see the
handbills posted about the campus.
Miss Heni proved herself to be an ac

nuances of characterization. Her voice
was beautifully adaptable; only occa
sionally in.lhe role of Peer did she falter
in the least. As for the women charac

Lads From Cape Fear Defeat
University Y. M. C. A.
NORWOOD HOLLAND STARS
Robert Upton Cages Winning Point On
A Free Throw.
1 A shot from the free throw line by R.
Upton in the last minute of play was
the margin of victory In the 19-18 win
of the Fayettevllle 'Y" over the Caro
lina "Y" in -the Tin Can Monday night.
The game was one of the hardest fought
and most Interesting ones that has ever
been witnessed on a local court,
From the start of the game until the
shrill sound of Referee Sanburn's whistle
had, put an end to the contest, it was
full of thrills and sensational playing
and kept the spectators on edge through
out the entire forty minutes of playing.
'- Only at one time during the game did
either quint have a substantial lead over
the other one. This was. in the second
period w'hen Norwood Holland, former
All-State high school player, playing his
first game for the "Y" team, rang up
four beautiful field goals in rapid suc
cession, giving the Carolina five the big
end of an 18-13 score,
The game started off with a rush and
for. several minutes neither team was
able to break into the scoring column.
However, Davis soon got loose under
the basket and caged a two-pointer for
the first tally of the contest.' Neither
team was unable to do much scoring in
this period, and the half ended with the
count standing 7-fl In the favor of the
Carolina "Y".
After having a rest between the halves,
both aggregations seemed to take on a
new lease of life and the second half
opened with both teams playing a much
better brand of. basketball. Perkins,
another addition to the local "Y" team,
sunk a field goal which was followed by
a .shot from the center of the court by
It, Upton. This same player then toss
ed in one from the free throw line and
then caged another long shot, giving the
Fayctteville quint a lead of two points.
Holland then, exhibited the prettiest

CHAPEL HILL SEXTETTE

, Points Passing and Clean
Tactics Feature Game.
In Bynum Gym Tuesday night the
girls' sextette from Chupel. Hill high
school more, than doubled the score on
their guescs, Lexington, to tlie sound
of 2T-(i().
The Lexington lassies visited the Hill
with the reputation proceeding them as
a (earn of championship calibre. And, in
truth, throughout the first half of the
game they lived up to their "rep", for at
the beginning of the ten minutes rest
period the score stood 14-8 in favor of
the local girls. During the first round
M. Parker for the hostess and Thompson
for the Westerners did the best work;
Hogan, the steller light for Chapel Hill,
did not seem to exert herself too strenu
ously, acting as though she wished to
lead the visitors on to more noble efforts.
In the second half, however, Hogan be
gan to retrace her steps into the old
stride of perfection and when the final
whistle scared the spectators she was
credited with half of Chapel Hill's sixty
points. Passing for Chapel Hill was
durirfg the first half exceedingly well
done by the three forwards, while Lex
ington put up such a defensive and of
fensive that the teams were evenly
matched. Lexington continued to guard
well throughout the game, but they
could1 not seam to accurately sight the
basket after their initial spurt.

Chapel Hill's Dog Days Are Over

n..ml oom of the "Y" All members
are urged to be present. Refreshments
will be served. "-. ' '
The Matador Club will meet Sunday
night in 108 Mangum.
Chapel Hill's dog days are over, A
mad dog bit off Pink Gutherie's nose.
Pink Gutherie, according to reliable re
ports, is Dr. Branson's wife's cook's hus
band. J
Ixmg famous for Its trinity of dogs,
corn liquor and mud, Chapel Hill Is now
threatened with a loss of all Its tradi
tional prestige. ' The opening of school
suw the University , making a mild decla
ration of war against mud, the Thanks
giving recess saw the police opening hos
tilities on county distilleries, and now
that Pink Gutherie's nose has been bit
ten off, the last of the trio of famous
characteristics is threatened with aboli
tion. Lust week the Board of Aldermen, bet
ter known as the city fathers, passed, an
ordinance which read ns follows:
"No dogs shall be allowed on the
streets of Chapel Hill after February
21, 1926. AH dogs on streets not ade
quately muwsled and held In leash will be
shot by the police officers, Owners of
dogs allowing same on the street In Vio
lation hereof shall be fined $30.00.
"This is an emergency ordinance pass
ed by the board of aldermen due to the
fact that a mad dog was loose on the
streets of the town on last Sunday, Feb
ruary 14th. One person, one cow, and
several unldentiflyd dogs were bitten by
the mad dog,"
Chapel Hill ain't what (t used to be.
It Is almost as famous for its dogs as
for its university; in fact, they are al
most inseparable. Dogs have already
been faithful followers of the football
team. Hardly a game without a flock on
the field' to keep the referee busy chasing
and the students laughing. The most
classic of the dog-football stunts oc
curred in 1922 when-the famous "Red"
Johnston sold out with the ball and 'a
dog, feeling the spirit of the chase, get
out after him. and bit him on the ankle.
Very few commencement exercises have
been conducted here without a dog dis
tinguishing himself as a participator in
the ceremonies. Even when General
Bowley came up from Camp Bragg, a
couple of canines ascended the Memorial
Hall rostrum to bid him a hearty wel
come to Chapel Hill.
The most famous of the later day dogs
was ALeedle Damlt'who flourished here
some four years ago. A thoroughbred
bull he was and his blue blood led him
to take his whiskey clear, "Leedle Damlt"
became the campus sot. But Orange
County Corn was too potent for his ca
nine constitution and he finally surren
dered the ghost and went to a drunk
ard's 'grave,.
During the fall of 1923 another dimin
utive dog, this time "little Gertrude,"
made her appearance and threatened to
make a great name for herself. She had

pers Written By Students in the
Junior Engineering English Class.
The Carolina Engineer, a very attrac
tive and Instructive magazine, has been
recently published by Dr. A. C. Howell's
class of Junior Engineering English, The
work contains papers written by students
in this English class. '
G. M, Wilsonis editor of the publica
tion, C. T. Smith is assistant editor, and
F. S. Wright has charge of the drawings.
The book has been mimeographed, and
it is bound In a very attractive cover.
All of the articles are well written, and
prove interesting not only to those who
have an engineering turn of mind, but
to anyone. There are several articles
on radio which hear on some particular
phase of this 4 activity. ' Other papers
take up such subjects as the lighting
problem of a new real estate develop
ment, and the way in which a chasm was
spanned by an electric cable. "A Study
of the C. E. Class of '27" is the name
of an article written by Mr. Robert F.
Logan. In this Mr." Logan discusses the
reasons for students dropping out of the
class. His figures reveal that 88 , per
cent of the class which entered have
dropped out. In a detailed study he
gives A reason for all of these. J. H.
Rion, in a paper on "The Operation of
Phonograph Reproducers," shows ' not
only a complete knowledge of his sub
ject, but an adept ability to convey this
knowledge to . his readers. Other more
scientific subjects 'a re well handled by
various students. The magazine closes
with reviews of books of value to engi
neering students.
Plans are being made to publish a sim

The old and ever-present process of
"the survival of the fittest and the devil
take the hindmost" works in basketball
as well us anywhere else; and It wan
working in the season just past in North
Carolina. .The college teams have had a
successful season us a whole, with upsets
in the dope now und then to add jiest to
the Interest of the state as u whole. Ney
stars have risen to take the places of
those passed on,- and old stars who have
held the limelight for u year or so fell
by the wayside, either due to Injuries
or. the rise of a greater mini to tuke his
place in the snn.
The bastetball teams at all of the.
North Carolina institutions were strong,
with none of the outfits showing so great
a lead over the others. The Carolina,
State, and Wake Forest quints led the
parade, with Duke and Davidson trail
ing In the rear, while outside of the "Big
Five" there were several strong com
binations at Elon, High Point and Guil
ford. Based on prctournament play,
the Red Terrors from State College gets
the championship laurels, taking them
for the first time In six years away from
the University tossers.
The Tur Heels began the season with
good prospects, having four lettermcn
including three All-Southern stars, to
build around in the gathering of another
team. A new conch turned out a strong
team that went through the season unde- s
feated except by the Wake Forest team '
by one point at Wake Forest, and by a,

usuul, led the attack for the Flying

style und finished it in like manner. They
defeated every team in the state, drop
ping a contest only to the Tar Heelg.
They won from Duke, Wake Forest and
Davidson twice, and clinched the Stale
Championship.
Wake Forest of course rates their
season a success because they won from
