Tuesday, May 11, 1926 PARAGRAPHICS Provided it doesn't rain, track en thusiasts in this section will be able to see the best meet ever held in the South Friday and Saturday of this week: on Emerson Field. The' baseball' championship may not be lost already insofar as Caro lina is concerned, but the threads have grown mighty weak. Where are all the honorary clubs .selections this year? The Tar Heel would like to have the official picks for publication. Six State College students and a geology professor were entombed for hours last week 500 feet below the surface of the ground in the old Carolina Coal Mine, where 50 min ers lost their lives last year in an explosion. We will bet that -the group forgot more geology than they learned. The game this afternoon should be one of the best of the season. "Shirt" Smith strained a ligament in his arm some time ago and the Quakers have been working on him ever since trying to get his primed for the affair here today. Local fans, arc. anxious to see Smith do mound duty though it might mean the downfall of the Tar Heels. A folk school modeled after the folk high , school of Denmark has been established in the Brasstown community of Cherokee and Clay Counties and is characterized as "an experimient in adult education." We are wondering whether Dr. Edgar W. Knight's description of the Dan ish schools to the people of the State through the press had any thing to do with the founding of the school. The "perfect university co-ed" was recently described by 100 men at the University of Minnesota. Here is their composite description: , "Chic and coy, a distinctive brunette with blue eyes and bobbed .hair, in man ner quiet rather than talkative, and a bit pleasingly plump instead of COACH BOB AND TRACK Carolina is host to the Southern Conference teams for the" meet here Friday and Saturday of this week This will mark the first time that the Southern Conference meet has been held in the' northern part of the Con ference territory and means no lit tle recognition to the .University. Twenty-one of the twenty-two col leges and universities which belong to the conference will send teams here to participate in what promises to be the greatest meet ever held in the South. '-.Athletes from Kentucky to Louisiana and from Maryland to Florida will flock to the oldest State University in the country to do lion or to their institutions in the twelve southern states.' ."'.. The succes of the meet depends up on the officials in charge and the support of the student body. A group of the most competent track officials in the South has been sccur cd and it is now up to the students to make it the greatest success that has ever attended a meet in the South. A lasting impression will be made on the visiting, athletes and their officials and supporters ; there fore, it behooves every student to lend his moral and financial support nrPs-how every courtesy possible to the: visitors. ..No better impression cart be. made than by showing good sportsmanship to the men on the field. The track and field meet is being iieid here as a. tribute to the untiring work of Coach Bob Fetzer and as a recognition of the phenomenal suc cess of the local track team during the past few years. When Coach Bob came here five years ago, track as a very minor and neglected sport. About a dozen interested men were participating in what was soon to be come one of the leading sports on the Hill. No important records on the track or in the field events had been made in several years. - From the beginning of the new era in track Coach Bob's chief interest has not been to win, but rather it has been to develop men, to raise track standards, and to increase par ticipation of the student body in what . he believes to be one of the best of sports. With these things ac complished the victories will take care of themselves. ' An outstanding feature of track is the high morale that' is always prevalent and is lack ing in many other sports. Coach Bob's natural love and interest in track has been the direct cause of the unusual success of the cinderpath artists during the Fetzer regime. Around sixty men are ac tively participating in the sport to day and new records have been made in every track and field event ex cept two during the time Coach Bob has had control. Many of the rec ords have been broken several times in the same events. During the five years that Coach Bob has coached track here the Tar Heels have won the State champion ship every year and have won all dual meets save one. The Universi ty of Virginia has been defeated for the past two successive years for the first victories of the Tar Heels over the Cavaliers in the history of track relations between the two institu tions. Many other 'eminent records have been made which would-be use less to enumerate here. Regardles of the outcome of the Tar Heels in the meet here this com ing week-end, Coach Bob has achiev ed wonders in the past five years and it is believed that he will achieve in the future. ; . . OPEN FORUM ' ' " " - - - " Editor Tab Heel: In a late issue of the Ta IIeki there was a letter in the Open Forum condemn ing the growlers at thebaseball games. I do my share of the growling, and think that I have perfectly legitimate reasons. If the baseball team were, as. W, K. H, says it is, the best in us, I would have no excuse f(r colicing. Although there are few men in the University who can play third base better than "Touchdown Jones, I have talked to about fifty boys this year who believe that Domrlas Webb is one of them. j , Jones and Sides are on the team mere ly" because they have a pull. Of course injh" is captain and I realize that it is hard to bench the captain in favor of sophomore, but it will require that to win ball 'games. Most of us know how Sides made the Freshman team two years ago and now he is on the basketball team. How did Cobb and Dodderer make the football team last full? Simply because they were on the basketball team. I am an ardent ' follower of baseball and it makes me hot to see good players on the bench while poorer ones take their places i on the field. It is hard to work up" a temperature over a Dan game when a ball hit to third or second is as likely ss not to be a hit. Our infield is not nearly as strong as it, might be. Tenney Is' the only A-l infielder on the team and he is misplaced at shortstop; ask any league manager if you can make a shortstop from a sec ond baseman at will. There is little cause for complaint on-Dodderer's work at first; he is developing into a -rather good first 'baseman.. If Webb were on third, Tenney at second, and Jonas, Fin ley, or Batey at short, I believe that the infield would present the strongest pos sible front.. . -" ' 1 ' Possibly Monk McDonald's philosophy is good, but who among us is not prone to criticize our superiors? Many people who are not even' in politics take excep tion t6 some of President Wilson's ac tions during and after the war; I will admit that I could not manage a. base ball team with' the sagacity of Stanley Harris, but I would have taken Walter Johnson out of the box in the late inn ings of the last World Series game last fall. There are, probably, no men. in school' who could run the team half as well as Coach Duncan can, but there are many who censure his policy of playing Jones and Sides on the baseball team. I have nothing against either man per- , sonally, but they are not up to the stand ard pi "the rest of the jteam, in my .opin ion. ' ' ' V '' School spirit is like Robert Hardee cheer-leading; it is all right to a certain extent, but there is no use' in making a spectacle of yourself. Why support team that has two big holes in the in field that could be patched up with little trouble? . J. H. R. OBSERVATION PLANE N. Uobuins us J. - - Dr. A. T.

In looking back over the week's news, it is hard to decide which single incident stands- out most prominently. Early In the week. Phi Beta Kappa came along to present to an admiring campus four and twenty young bookish individu als who have neglected their health, their pleasure, and perhaps their eternal souls, as the old-Holy Roller minister back home would say, for the doubtful honor of maintaining a grade of "B" for three years. Next came the Gilded beg par don the Golden Fieeeeand overlooked about a dozen expectant so-called cam pus leaders in the annual fleecing."-' In the meantime, Carolina' lost a few ball games, but that is a little aside from the subject-' it has 'come: to be anything but unusual. On top of everything else, I the TWow Journal came out with a lot of bunk and blasphemy, was censured by the President, and finally appeared on the campus in a second edition that con tained not much less rot than the orig inal.. Tile ifurraneer was pushed to one side, and the Tar Heel, which mu.st re port all, these various happenings, t ac cused of becoming a comic sheet. What poor,: Jaded student ' could wish to go elsewhere for, excitement then there is so much happening here before his very eyes. Ynh! so's your old I mean, j no,' verily? '. Seniors "Around eighty seniors are almost ready to launch out into the vast sea of life," observes, the Fin-man Hornet. "The days of preparation, it continues, "are almost over. Life in all its bald reality is just ahead. The retrospect is crammed with variation of success, failure, joy, sorrow; the prospect is perfectly blank ii nd empty." . . . Yes brother, and if the average Fur- man senior is like many another aver age senior, his prospect is not the only thing that may seem to the world to be "perfectly blank and empty." Dinner It has been said that "a dinner lubri- j cates business." How true this is. How j many big deals have been put over just after the completion of a satisfying meal. It is on this principle that the business man works when he invites his prospec tive customer to "come on up to the house with me,, and after we have a lit tle dinner we'll finish talking this thing over." it is the same thing that has fostered the Ki wan is and Rotary clubs. "Much Ado About Nothing" Some good people down at Charlotte, a, town in this state, in case you haven't heard of it, have up and said that they are going to fight evolution to the last ditch. : Immediately after issuing this ultimatum, they, began fighting among themselves. Perhaps they will get around eventually to the business of1 fighting evo lution. If they do, there is no call to stop them. Let them go ahead and fight it until their hypocritical souls are sat isfied. Let them fight until they get blue in the face and sweat great big' drops of blood. Do they hope to have accomplished anything when the fight is over? If evolution is true, no amount of maudlin thrashing about and foaming at the mouth is going to make it any less true. If there is nothing to it, it will eventually die, anyway, without the help of Charlotte. Why can't people be sat isfied with a sober investigation of the matter to find out the truth? Are they afraid of evolution? If evolution is false, it cannot injure religion, morals, or anything else. If it is true, it will not necessarily injure religion, morals, or anything else. The malcontents have been assured of this time and again by the foremost ministers and scientists of the time, men whose advice is worth con sidering if anybody's advice is worth anything. The' good brothers at Char lotte are furnishing the state a good example of harmless comedy, so let them go to it, ' Let them get all wrought up to the state that they will throw a col lective apoplectic fit, if It will do them any good. Why should we give a rap for what they do or fail to do? ;' FORMER TRACK MEN WILL MEET Gathering Planned in Connec tion With Southern Con ference Meet. LARGE NUMBER INVITED Special Stands Will Accommodate Old ;Grads and Former Athletes Who Come to Athletic Event. As an additional feature of the annual Southern Conference Track and , Field Meet which will be held here Friday and Saturday, May 14 and IS, the University and the General Alumni Association are inviting all former members of the Tar Heel truck teams to come back to the Hill for an informal reunion. Since the origin of track and field Sports as one of- the juain divisions of the University's athletic program, nearly 30 years ago. nearly 130 varsity letters . have been awarded to the trackmen,' and the offic ials are hoping to have a large percent age of these old runners back to witness the improvement the Tar Heel track teams have made. - Letters were mailed to the fqrmer Tar Heel stars inviting them to return for the two days of the Conference Meet These letters appealed to the old men to back up .the traditions they helped to build and sketched the progress the Uni versity has made in track athletics, in cluding the. records of the team for the 192! season. The progruiu of the big meet,; with time schedule of events 'and probable entries of the Carolina team ncluded, was enclosed on' a' separate sheet with the letter of invitation. Other arrangements for the alumni trackmen include the reservation of a special section of the concrete stands on Emerson field for their benefit. This section Will be placed in the most ad vantageous position possible for the ob servation of the meet, and cards were sent each man to be returned as a re quest for a seat in that part of the stands.
