Pag I THE TAR HEEL Saturday, March 6, 19$ AN OLD RUSTY HAIRPIN IS THE SECRET OF 1926 WIN (Continued from pag one) In one of the night games the prospects for the Monday night's game looked till less inviting, and there is where Nelson Poe II got his cue to come on the stage. The Tar Heels were gathered in Room 1120 of the Ansley, at least several of them were so gathered, discussing and cussing the chances against the Missis sippi quintet on! Monday. "If we win then we'll have the medals ingravedV was -the general agreement, when the saviour of the bacon appeared. A knock was heard at the door, and In answer to the Invitation to enter a - wandering drunk entered the room and collapsed on a convenient chair. An i Insistent demand for ice-water followed . after he had been accorded the prlvelege v of remaining a while. "I'm the last of the Poe boys", he mA . k- T'tn - ilimiv ed good boy. In fact Pm a catbird. There were four of us brothers.' There was Johnnie Poe, and Gresham Poe, and Nelson Poe and I am Nelson Poe II. I guess Put the biggest catbird in the bunch too." He was not one of those modest flowers, born to blush unseen. Rather he was a thorough believer in "that quotation from the1 third chapter of Abraham which reads: "Verily, verily, I say onto thee, lest thou tootest thine own born, it shall remain in a state of ontootedness forever and ever. - "I was captain of the Princeton Fresh' . .

It was not till the following day that Nelson II made known the extent of his roaming in Central America. Ac cording to his own tales, he and his brothers once owned all of Nicaragua. He told of how he had a $50,000 price on his head living or dead. Always though he would branch off his subject and repeat the benefit of his hearers, "There were four of 4s boys. There was Johnnie Poe, and Gresham Poe and Nelson Poe, and Me. I'm Nelson Poe Liked Bill Dodderer Suddenly though he was takeiy with an apparent liking for Captain Bill Dodderer, and as an evidence of his undying affection, be presented the Tar Heel captain with an old rusty hairpin. "That tin will brin? von luck." he Raid. "I found that pin on a street in Balti more seventeen years ago, and I have carried it ever since. It got me through the War "and it will give you luck to morrow night You are going to beat Mississippi bad, 'cause of that ' luck piece." . Now the superstition of ball-players everywhere is proverbial, ' and the Tar Heel basketball t-am. is .no exception. Captain Dodderer wore that rusty wire hairpin thrust through the rear belt loop of his basketball trousers in the next game, and against "Ole Miss" he shot at the basket Tour times and sunk -three-of the shots. He wore it 'again S Al 1 I f. 1 .. - m me nnai game, ana you Know we -rest from papers you've read, of how the Aggies shot and fled" to their own end of the court. So whether Nelson Poe II, the self styled here, was telling the truth or not, the fact still remains that there were no more close games after he gave the Tar Heel captain the old rusty hairpin. Bill Dodderer himself will show you the hairpin and tell you, "Here's what won the Tournament." .

All men eligible, and this Includes . .anyone who has not made a letter in varsity track or participated in a var sity meet this season, are urged to en ter. The meet is regarded as an ex cellent opportunity for the coaches to look over the track material in the ranks of the student body and, it also affords all those who have aspirations for a place on the varsity track squad a chance to show just what they can do under fire. The following events will be on the program.''

CHASE GUEST AT KIWANIS BANQUET (Continued from page on) ger of overlooking that great principle of freedom that is taught in the insti- ttutions of learning. "We believe Dr. tutions of learning. "We believe Dr. teaching we join with the other institu tions in supporting him in that stand," concluded Dean Wannamaker. . Dr. T. L. Harrison, of State college, said that Dr. Chase had been here long enough to display those qualities which have made the people of the state love him and said that he believed that Dr. Chase loved the state and the people. "We are glad of the value he places on spiritual things. As you, yourself, know, Dr. Chase, this is a conservative people, not blown about by every doc trine, and they must be shown its value before accepting one. Those who have sons can leave them at the University without fear s long as the policies of Dr. Chase are continued there," Dr, Harrison said. "Secretary Everett, as President of the Alumnia Association, expressed the grati tude of thousands of the University's sons at Dr. Chase's decision to remain here. He said that the alumni and people of the state were right behind Dr. Chase and stand ready to back him to the final letter. 'The only thing for the, president of the University to do now is to secure us the best football coach available," Secretary Everett said. Dr. Poteat offered congratulations to Dr. Chase and the state. He said he wasn't sure which deserved them most Dean Hooker, of Elonj President Bin- ford of Guilford; and the other speakers each had a warm word of praise for Dr. Chase and expresed appreciation of his work in the state and pledged him sup port in caring out his principles of free dom of speech and teaching. Dr. Chase, said that he should not be expected to make a speech on such an ocas ion, as bis heart was almost too full for words. "I can not begin to express my appreciation," he said. He said that he was glad to be back in the Old North State again and overjoyed to find his fellow teachers and citizens of the state so wholeheartedly behind him in . his policies. Dr. Chase said that he was impressed with the friedly interest of Durham and the presence of other college officials at the meeting. He said that he was glad of the friendly spirit that exists between the different educational institutions in this state. "Jealously with us is a pre historic thing which has disappeared just as the prehistoric, animals. If our insti tutions were prehistoric, there might be jealously between them but, being ad vanced to their present state, there is no jealously there," said Dr. Chase. "I did a foolish thing and went to visit a western state where the civilisation is young and growing and great chances are offered for leadership," said President Chase, "but I could not get away from the Chapel Hill mud on my shoes and the mud on my heels." "I deem it a great privilege to be as sociated with the educational interests of this state at this time. There are so many complex problems to work out here. It is a privilege to help mould minds. of young men who are going out into such a complex system." DURHAM MEETS ASHEVILLE .

Out of respect to the feelings of these two innocent relatives of the bandit the American and the tabloid Newt kept from their sheets the sensational facts. In talking of the Monitor' policy in regard to advertisers, Mr. Munro said; "The slogan Truth in Advertising', which was invented by one of the mem bers of the Monitor' advertisingstaff, has always been most rigidly adhered to by the paper. This is for the protection of both the readers and the advertis ers. It has never once been lowered or taken a step backward. t "The Christian Science methods In ac cepting advertisements are: watch all copy for superlatives, for reflections on competitors, for ultimatums, and for the 'fear appeal'. Mail order ads are more likely to hide tricks, frauds, and opin ions than any other type of advertis ers. - After we accept a mail order ad vertisement we read all follow-up litera ture, and Inspect the goods: if the price is repeatedly juggled from a relative high price to lower rates, or if the goods are not in our opinion worth the price asked for them we do not. accept any more business from, that company. For instance the first price asked by one well known health advertiser for his apparatus was sixty dollars, the final price was thenty-five dollars. "And we do not accept advertisements from the manufacturer of a certain medi cal product who states that '4 out of S are afflicted with this terrible disease of the gums, pyorrea'. At this rate eighty per cent of the nation's gums are horri bly diseased. Reliable Investigation shows, however, that enljs one out of seven have pyorrea. We do not accept advertisements that say, 'eat A. B. C cornflakes and became a leader of men,'' or the ones that ask 'Have you a per sonality?. We will give you one In five days.' The Better Business Bureau is - the most potent organization for the mak ing of clean honest advertisements. In case of an . advertiser consistently fail ing to heed the warnings issued from the Bureau's headquarters the informa tion bearing on the fraudulent one : is turned over to the postal authorities or the United States prosecuting judge. "A few weeks ago, while talking to Louis Wiley, managing editor of the New York Times, he said, 'I would rather judge a paper by the number of adver tisements it refuses than the number it prints.' That is an ideal gauge." DRAMATIC INSTITUTE HERE MARCH 24-27 (Continued from pag on)' Mr. Smith will also give a demonstra tion of Folk Dances on March 27. Other speakers include W. R. Taylor in drama tic work at North Carolina College for Women, and George Denny of the Caro lina Playmakers. The address of wel come will be delivered by Dr. - Chase on Thursday, March 25.

After this game, the team then came back to their own stamping grounds and again settled down to practice, X i On the Monday following their return from the Old Dominion state, the Tar Babies met Coach "Ikey" Taylor's Duke Frosh in the Tin Can and defeated, them 12-10 in a rather slow and listless game. Baggett, with a total of five points, was the high scorer in this contest On the next Friday night Coach Shepherd took his men qver to the Bull City for a re turn game with the Duke team and after a hard fought tussle came out on the small end of a 25-23 score. Then on the next night came the big surprise of the season. The Tar Babies were playing State and the West Raleigh boys were doped to win by a large mar gin of points. But Captain Satterfleld and his men upset the old dope bucket and defeated the Tech yearlings by the score of 24-17. This knocked Captain Goodwin's team out of their claim for state championship honors and was m fitting climax to a Tather in and out sea son for the Tar Babies. Just before leaving on the Virginia trip, Henry Satterfleld was chosen cap tain of the quint. Last year he was a member of the Durham high school team which won the state championship and which went to the third round in the na tional high school tournament at Chi cago. Satterfleld proved to be a great leader for the team, playing a wonder ful game himself and rallying his men on when they appeared to falter. He led the team in scoring by caging nine teen field goals and four fouls for a to tal of 42 points. He was closely fol lowed by Rufus Hackney who tossed in 15 two-pointers and six fouls for a to tal of 36 markers.' Baggett, who failed to make the Virginia trip on account of his scholastic work, came third with nineteen points and was followed closely by Wall, who accounted for eighteen of his team's points. Finlator and Gray, both guards, came next with ten points each and were followed by Oakley, Webb, and Watkins, all of whom shot one or more field .goals.
