GAME WILL BE HARD FOUGHT Bull City Lads Are Present Champions And Will Put Up Strong Fight To Defend Title. Bp virtue of Asheville's defeat ,of Winston-Salem and Durham's downing Goldsboro, the Eastern and .Western high school basketball champions of North Carolina will battle for the State Championship crown tonight at 8 o'clock in the Tin Can. ;:" One of the hardest fought games of the year is, promised when the two sec tional championship quints meet tonight. Duralim, last year's champion, defeated the Goldsboro lads to the tune of 43-25; but the score is not a fair indication of the straining struggle the champions had to put up to retain their Eastern laurels. At the end of the first half, after the far Eastern ' team, had forged ahead several times, the score stood 21-20, and the final results was a matter of inter rogation. The cards stacked up about the 'same in Thursday's game between Winston-Salem and the mountain city lads. The twin city lads forged ahead in both the first and third quarters, but on a whole Asheville's quint was the better of the two. The two teams that meet tonight for the State honors have both already won the coveted cup. : Durham has won the price three times in 1916, 1918 and 1925. Asheville on the other hand can boast of only one win, 1923. Durham has won the cup more times than any other high school in North Carolina; the Western losers of Thursday night, Winston-Salem being next with two wins to her credit Goldsboro entered the final sectional con- ' test for the first time this year. 1 More interest has been indicated in the series this year than at any previous time since the inception of the contest by the University in 1915. The "furi ously fought elimination group battles began four weeks ago with an entrance enrollment of 115 acredited schools of the State. Since that time due to wins and forfeits the teams were narrowed down to four contestants Winston-Salem and Asheville in the Western terri tory, and Durham and Goldsboro in the Eastern' hinterland. Until the contest this year the teams entering thee ontest had always ' been under the century mark. In addition "to the acredited high school contest of the State honors being conducted under the auspices of the University of North Carolina, a non- accredited high school contest is going on, ana tne university s sisier insuiu (Continued on page four) CHASES DECISION GLADLY RECEIVED Hundreds of Messages Sent to President by Friends.

STRESSES A D V E RTISING "Truth In Advertising" Is Policy of the Boston Paper. Mr. Munro, of the staff of the Chris tian Science Monitor of Boston, ad dressed Professor Johnson's Journalism One class,' some members of the Tam HeEl editorial force, and about 25 vis itors in the Di Society Hall, Thursday morning, on the editorial and the adver tising policy of the Christian Science Monitor. Mr. Munro, who is in the State for the purpose of appointing a staff of native writers to prepare the Christian Science North Carolina supplement which will appear early next fall, has been con nected with the advertising and editor ial stuffs of the world famous Boston paper since 1908 in the New York Office. Mr. Munro, after informing his audi ence that he is the descenndant of the first president of the University of North Carolina's Board of Trustees, went Into a little detail telling that the forthcom ing North Carolina edition of the paper, will be a compendium of essential eco nomic, historical, political, religious, and physiographic features of the State, which are to be intelligently interpreted by sympathetic native historians and writers. Then, launching into the main context of his talk, Mr. Munro said, "My few remarks this morning are to be purely on the ethical side of practical journal ism. I am indeed grateful to be able to address men who couteraplate entering journalism as a profession. In talking to you I feel a sense of modesty, for as yet I have no record of accomplishment on which to base such an assumption." Mr. Munro then went on to inform his audience of the policy of the Christian Science Monitor, in regard to publica tion of news. He stated that all crime, vice, and personal destructive or non essential copy was excluded from the sheets of the Boston paper. As a re sult of this high standard no man can be afraid to carry the Christian Science Monitor into his home. Following in the footsteps of the Boston paper scores of other papers have begun a movement to abolish sensational crimes and vice stories; for instance the Rocky Mountain Newt and the De$ Moines Register are segregating all crime and vice news into a separate section or sheet on the in side of the paper. Only a few months ago a briljiant reporter on the Hearst New York paper, the American, un covered the ' fact that $ie notorious bandit, Gerald Chapman, was passing under an alias and had a sister teach " (Continued on page four) DRAMATIC INSTITUTE HERE MARCH 24-27 Four Groups of Playa Will Be Pro duced by High Schools, Colleges, and Communities.

GRAHAM IS SPEAKER Chase Speak In Chapel Monday ' President Chase will address the student body in ChapeV'Mon day on his decision to remain at Carolina. His speech promises to be of especial interest to the student body in that the students will be for the first time given the opportunity of hearing from the President himself regarding ' the reasons for his recent rejec tion of the Oregon University offer and the arrived conclusion ' that ' he would remain for the time being at least, at the Uni versity. The Chapel Committee extends special invitations to the facul ty, the local townspeople, and all members of the student body to attend the President's address. That the President has turned down so tempting an offer and will remain at the University is indeed a thing over which the "students rejoice.

Quite a (Continued on page three) Playing a great brand of basketball throughout the entire game the Durham high school team, champions of 1925, Won its way "to the finals ' Thursday night in the Tin Can by defeating the Goldsboro quint to the tune of 43 to 25. The contest was far above the aver age high school exhibition and was very fast and interesting. In the first half the plucky little Goldsboro quint played on almost even terms with Durham but in the final period the pace set by the White Whirlwind was too much for them and they succumbed to their vicious at tack. . The playing which was' exhibited by both fives in the first half was about the best that has ever been witnessed in high schol contest in the Tin Can. Both teams passed the ball with lightning-like speed and shot with almost uncanny ac curacy, many of the baskets being toss ed from near the center of the court. Durham stayed slightly in the lead throughout the initial half and the score at the end of the period stood 21-20 in favor of the lads from the Bull City. In the second half both teams began to play much rougher basketball and for five minutes neither quint was able to locate the basket.- However, the Durham team soon began to locate the hoop and rang up goal after goal, liter ally sweeping the Goldsboro lads off their feet.

Bran A hairpin won the Southern Cham pionship for the Tar Heels. A startling statement, and withal a statement that may carry with it more than a grain of truth. At least to all true followers of the God of Supersti tion and Luck it bears all the earmarks of a truth. And therein lies a story that cjiries the threads of Its narrative all the way from the athletic field of old Princeton, to the sun scorched jun gles and plains of Central America, to the far-flung fronts of the Allied Armies during the World War, and back to Room 1120 Of the Hotel Ansley In Atlanta. ' If the first statement is true, then the University of North Carolina should honor one of the famous Poe family of Princeton just as highly as Old Nassau honors the Immortal Johnnie Poe, the greatest of the line. But we are getting ahead of the story. Let us begin at the beginning. The Flying Phantoms donned . their wings of flame on Friday afternoon and breezed lightly over the prostrate forms of the Clemson Tigers, while the score- keepers pencil kepti up a rollicking tune of 62 to 21. The Southern Cham pions experienced not the slightest diffi culty in cake-walking aver the Clemson team by that heavy score, but the Vir ginia Cavaliers, with all the blue blood of the F. F. V. S.'s, refused to lie down so tamely. ; The Virginians gave the North Caro lina aggregation plu-perfect fits through forty hectict minutes of play, and espec ially was this true during the closing minutes of the game. "Mulligan" Hol land began practicing baseball tactics on the big leather pill, winding up with one hand and dropping goals through from the middle of the court. Four times he did this and the Tar Heel defenses was helpless against his long range guns. . A perfect freeze that kept the ball out of Virginia hands for four minutes was all that saved the titlists' bacon.

The second annual Intra-Murol Indoor Track Meet, to be staged Monday night in the Tin Can, will be a gala occasion .if present indications prove true. Much interest has been manifested in the event among the campus athletes, , who have been working hard in order to be in the pink of condition to meet the stiff competetion, and the keen rivalry de veloped should furnish the spectators plenty of action and thrills. : ' The Intra-mural department, under the able management of Bidgood Wah- man and "Beef" Butler, has assumed an important role on the campus and fills a read need. " The Inter- fraternity and Inter-dormitory leagues in Tag-Foot' ball, basketball, and baseball provide those students not' participating in var sity sports an opportunity to obtain the exercise they need and at the same time promotes a stronger school spirit. The Cake Race In the fall, a cross coun try run entered each year by a large number of students, the first hundred of which are presented with cakes do nated by the ladies of Chapel Hill; the Winter Indoor Meet, and the Outdoor Meet in the Spring, are the feature events on the Intra-mural program. The year so far proved an unusually successful one for Intra-mural activi ties and the meet Monday night is ex pected . to prove no exception. Many entrants are expected for the various events and a large crowd should be on hand to witness the affair, which is one of the biggest of its kind of the entire year. A gold medal is to be given to the man scoring the largest number of points while prizes will be given to ail finishing first, second, and third in the different events.

SATTERFIELD LEADS Captain of Freshman Quint Leads In Scoring With a Total of 42 Points. Due to the fuel that candidates for' the Carolina freshman basketball team were not called for until nearly a month after the other first year quints of the state had started practice, it was almost " impossible to arrange an elaborate' schedule and as a result the Tar Babies played only seven games, Including a three-day jaunt into the Old Dominion state. . Coach Shepherd's men emerged victo rious in three of the contests while they were defeated in four. However, the game with the Washington and Lee team . was lost by the margin of one point and the defeat at the hands of "Ikey" Tay lor's Duke Frosh was by the margin of a lone field goal. With the slightest break, these two games might have been on the right side of the ledger. The Tar " Babies scored a total of 142 points to their opponents' 1S2. In the opening game of the season, the Carolina team was defeated by the State yearlings by the score of 35-16. Coach Shepherd had only been drilling his men for about a week, while "Sammy" Home wood had his team practicing several weeks before the Yuletide holidays. As a result, the Carolina team failed to show very much form and the visitors had very little trouble in trouncing them. After this game, the team settled down to intensive practice, for the next two weeks before going on the Virginia trip and when they left the team was very much improved. In the first game of the trip the Tar Babies were defeated by the strong Washington and Lee first year quint by the one-point margin of 30-29 in one of the fastest and most exciting- games ever seen on the Lexington court. The next night the team did not display very good form and were beaten by the V. M. I. Rats, the score being 24-14. Captain Satterfield was' the star of the contest, caging four field goals and one foul for a total of nine points. . On the next night the Woodberry Forest quint was played in Orange, Va and the Tar Babies managed to nose out by the score of 22-21 In a game which was anybody's until the last minute of play. The margin of victory came just before the final whistle blew when Hack ney tossed in one from the free throw line after he had been fouled as 'he was attempting to shoot.
