President Hurry, W. Clmse, acording
to well-founded "rumors, will .today ren
der ls decision, while in conference with
the board of trustees f the University
at a special meeting this afternoon at
the Governor's office, Raleigh, in regard
In tin" offer of the Oregon university
presidency.
Vesterday afternoon Pres. Chii.se was
in lialeigh in conference, with the special
committee, which was appointed by the
eicutive committee of the board of
trustees to confer with the University
President concerning the Oregon offer.
Although the Tar Ifeel went to press too
curly to get any reports from the results
of that conference, it is understood that
no statement was concerning any decis
ions readied or any details of the con
ference were given out to press men.
At the full meeting of the board of
trustees this afternoon Dr. Chase will
present a program for the University of
North Carolina for the next four or
five years the future policies of, the
University its field of service, develop
ment, etc. The President will present
his program regardless of his decision
on- the Oregon offer. ; However, it is
understood that the cordiality of the
reception of his program will bear much
weight in the decision of President
Chase. : -
Opinions Divided
Rumors and speculations have been
rife' during the past few weeks while
President Chase has had the offer of the
University of Oregon under considera
tion. Since bis return here Wednesday
night, of last week, from the Pacific
coast, where he hud been to get a first
"hand observation of the Oregon univer
sity, state dailies have carried rumors
both favorable and unfavorable concern
ing the decision of Dr. Chase.
Here in Chapel, it is understood that
opinions of Ills " decision stand about
fifty-fifty for his. acceptance or refusal
of the Pacific const university offer.
However, that does not carry the as
sumption that the faculty and the stu
dents of the University, as well as the
town's people, have been luke-warm in
their insistences that President Chase
remain here. Unanimous resolution were
recently adopted by the' faculty, student

Three substitutes were rushed forward
to the rostrum in order to carry the ban

night.: This action was occasioned by
the. magnetic charms of a certain col
lege in the outskirts of Greensboro How
ever, the officers were not the only ones
absent, for only a few members stalked
into the ball before action was opened
by a resolute address from Carolina's
most energetic cheer leader Rob Hardee.,
Reeolved, "That the Phi Assembly go

faculty would be allowed the previlige
of paying the Student Blanket Athletic
Fee, wherein the faculty members would
have the same; priviliges of attending
games as students," was the very impor
tant resolution that the human "loud
speaker" wus pleading for, and he showed
Ids reasons why the resolution was to
the best interest of the University. It
was clearly shown that more friendly
feeling' would exist between the students
and faculty members. Here too is found
a means' of saving money for the ath
letic association. In talking with pro
fessors and coaches Hardee bad found
that there were universally in favor of

would cause more faculty members to

The Carolina freshman basketball
team lowered the curtain on the 1926
season last Saturday night when they
defeated the State yearlings' by the
score of 21-1 7 in a very slow and list
less game. The State team had pre
viously defeated the Tar Babies by an
overwhelming score and were doped to
repeat their performance Saturday but
the Carolina team threw a big surprise
and emerged from the contest victorious.
They not only defeated Captain Good
win's men, hut they also eliminated them
from any chance of claiming the state
championship title. Although they have
won 13 out of 16 games played, the
Wake Forest Fro.-.h have the best claim
to the title inasmuch as they have only
been defeated once. If it were not for
the fact that Coach Shepherd's men lost
to the Duke first year team last Friday
night, .-they would have aa equal claim
to the title.
Captain Sutterfield's men jumped into
the lead at the very, beginning of the
game and were never headed during the
entire contest. With Satterfield and
Hackney ."playing' a great game and 'the
entire team passing like veterans, the
Tar. Babies clearly outplayed and out
classed the State yearlings. Hackney
started the fireworks when he caged a
two-pointer "soon after the game had
started, and the University boys ran up
a nine-point lead nofdre the State quint
broke into the scoring column. -After
this, the outcome of the game was never
in doubt. .
' Practically the entire State five, which
las been playing brilliant basketball
throughout the entire season, performed
as though they did mit care whether
they won or lost. Frank Goodwin and
Hunky" Waring, who have been classed
as two of the best freshmen basketball
players ever seen in action in the Old
North State, were decidedly off color.
They both played as though they had a
hunk of lead in each shoe. Goodwin was
held to a lone field goal, while Waring
was able to ring up a total of six.
The work' of Captain Satterfield and
Hackney for the Tar Babies was the fea
ture of the game. These two young ath
letes'1 accounted for a total of eighteen
points, ' which was enough to beat the
State team. They also played a good
floor game.
The playing of Holden was the one
redeeming feature of the State. teams
performance. This guard played a great

Soon after the game began jt was
evident that the Champions were not the

that swept ' over the Clemson Tigers in
the opening round Friday. Billy Devin,
All-Southern guard who has been ill
with influenza and spending his time in
his room at the Hotel Ansjey, was back
in the line-up and played a splendid
game despite his., recent illness. His
close guarding kept the score down,
though "Mulligan" Holland,' Virginia ace,
cut loose with several "prayer" shots
during the last half.
It was just those long shots off his one
hand that sunk the Tulane Greenbacks
in the first game Friday, and they came
very near being the undoing' of .the Tar
Heels. Holland would unwind his long
arm and cut loose from anywhere within
the center circle with a murmured prayer
that it might find the goal, and three of

University and ; observe the
work, done by the school here.

lecture by the use of a large
number of lantern slides, which
will be enlivened by a running
fire of authentic comment on
the economics cf industrial or

features.

BEGINS TRAINING
Coach Duke Duncan Gives
Squad First Work-Out. ,
SEVEN LETTER MEN BACK
Captain Johnson Also Has Several
Rookies to Help Him.
F.merson Fied began to take on aspect
of Spring yesterday afternoon 'when the
varsity baseball candidates made their
initial appearance of the season. "Duke"
Duncan, who was recently appointed to
coach the team, had previously issued
the call for candidates and he was greet
ed by approximately sixty aspirants for
the nine yesterday. AH wen who have
not reported and who have had any ex
perience at ail in the great" national
pastime, are urged to report this after
noon. The candidates were put through
light work-outs yesterday and then sent
to the showers.
Although baseball prospects here are
not the best in the world, they are far
from being gloomly. With seven letter-
men to build the team around, Coach
Duncan should succeed in putting a very
creditable nine on the field. However,
he is greatly handicapped due to the
fact that there is only one- old pitcher
back in school. This one is "Bill" Poy
ner, a veteran of two years. If the big
right-hander can develop fairly good
control he should create a sensation in
college baseball circles this year. This
has been his one great weekness in the
pa.sl two years. . ,
Ed. Maekie, diminutive twirler on last
year's Tar Baby team, should have little
difficulty in landing a berth on the var
sity this season. He was easily the out
standing freshman pitcher in the state
lust year and his twirling created quite
a sensation. He possesses a good fast
ball, a quick-breaking curve, and won
derful control. AVith all these assets
he should make Duncan a valuable man
this year.
In addition to these two men, there
are several other men out for the pitch
ing staff who 'have" hud varied exper
ience, among them being Whisnant and
Routb, the two sorell-topped twirlers
who were on the varsity squad last year,
and Westmoreland, a big left-hander,
and Fred Graham, both of whom assist
ed Maekie with the pitching end of
"Runt" Lowe's 'Tar Baby nine last year.

Cobb, Newcomb, And Dodderer are
High Lights of Game.
After 'North .Carolina State started
the 1.02(1 Tournament off in the right di
rection by downing the Auburn Plains
men in the first game of Friday's pro
gram, the flying quint from the Univer
sity of Tarheelia opened their traveling
bags and -showed Atlanta and the
southern cage fans what Southern Cham
pions are made of. From the time when
Artie Newcomb dashed under the basket
and lay the first goal in for the Tar
Heels until the' pistol shot to end the
game between there , was never any
doubt that the titlisls. would win, and
win they did by the count of 52 to 21.
The-Tigers, remembering their over
whelming defeat from the Phantoms
earlier in the season, were out for re
venge and fought hard in their efforts
to register one of the upsets of the day's
play, but they were bucking a stone
wall.- A brilliant (Tensive that drew
favoriblc comment on all sides kept the
hull in Clemson territory practically the
entire game, and they never had a chance
to do any heavy scoring. It 'wus just
another instance of " the best defense Is
a strong offense".
During the opening 'period the Caro
lina attack revolved about the lanky fig
ure of pivot man. Newcomb rung up
five baskets from the floor in that open
ing period and added one lutcr in the

The above advertisement arrived in the
Tah IU-ki.'s mail yesterday morning ac-'
companied by a short and plaintive, note
beseeching the. editor's nssiatawee. The
ad was dutifully turned over to the
Business Manager for official attention;
but the letter portion called for editorial
attention and the Tar Hkki, bus never
made a .policy -of refusing such requests
from its feminine friends.-.;.
...The letter and advertisement were
typewritten on plain paper. Its '.authen
ticity is seriously doubted for some girl
wag at Greensboro is evidently prema
turely enjoying the approaching Junior-
Senior. Consequently the Tah IIi:ki. is
assuming no responsibility us to the re
liability of the ud., but is carrying it so
that any student who feels eligible and
who cares to reply, may do so at his own
risk.
The letter to the editor reads as fol
lows: "I am enclosing an advertisement
that I should like for you to run in the
next issue of the Tar Heel. If you can
not do thisy perhaps you might know of
two eligible, young men to whom you
might refer this ad. If you can kindly
help the two young ladies out they would
he most grateful." .
" Instead of signing the letter, the
charming young writer (we just know
she's charming to have thought up such
a charming little intrigue) simply at
tached the (id. Both the letter and the
enclosure were typed and the sender gave
no cine to herself, other than to sign
the student government's name to it.

Senator Eaton gave a lengthy, but full
review of his resolution, "Resolved, That
the Di Senate go on record as favoring
recognition of the Soviet Government of
Russia." The speaker outlined history
of the question, showing wherein the
present Soviet Government, is a culmina
tion of the revolutionary spirit wllh dem
ocracy us tin: ultimate objective, which
practically all governments have under
gone since the French revolutionary up

He cited that not only the Czarist regime
