VOLUME XXXV .
CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1927
NUMBER 35
Tar Heel Basketeers Win 2
of 3 Games from Y Quints
SALISBURY WINS IN
liAST TEN SECONDS
Yanstory and Hackney Brothers,, Cap
tain Bunn and Rufus, Are Out
standing Stars.
The Tar Heel basketeers sac
rificed the last week of their
Christmas holidays to engage in
a tour of the state and warm up
for the coming net season by
playing several of the fastest
independent basketball teams in
the state. In all, the Tar Heels
played three Y. M. C. A. aggre
gations and two of the settos re
sulted in impressive victories for
the college lads.
The lone defeat of the holiday
season was experienced on
Thursday, December ,30, at the
hands of the celebrated Salis
bury outfit. The Salisbury quint
won the undisputed independent
basketball championship : of
North Carolina last year, and
this year is composed of practi
cally the same line-up, reinforced
by the advent of two Clemson
college stars. The University
quint was barely nosed out by
the Y champs in the last minute
of play by the score of 29 to 28.
First Game On ,
The Tar" Heels won their ini
tial appearance of the 1926-27
season Wednesday night, Decem
Ter 29, at Greensboro, when they
defeated the strong Greensboro
Y aggregation 35 to 21. A splen
did crowd, apparently' a bit par
tial to the Carolina athletes, wit
nessed the contest in the new
Greensboro Y: M. C .A. build
ing. The first few minutes of the
game were very close, but be
fore long the superior speed of
the college lads began to tell on
their opponents and they forged
into the lead, which they held
iintil the end. The count at half
time was 20 to 14. . "
The Hackney brothers were
the outstanding stars of the
night, while Vanstory played a
nice defensive game for the Tar
Heels.
The winners were a bit er
ratic in their passing and some
what off in their shots, but this
was to be expected in the first
game of the year.

"Basketball fans will have an
opportunity tonight to witness
the Carolina quintet in action on
their home court for the first
time this year, when they engage
the fast Durham Y five in the
Tin Can at 8 :30.
Coach Ashe'more has been giv
ing his men intense :work: since
. the opening of school and the
ieam that trots out- upon the
floor tonight will more than like
Jy'throw a different'light upon
the dope forecast concerning a
weakness in this year's pros
pects at the Southern title.
, The Durham Y aggregation
always boasts an excellent crowd
of basket shooters, numbering
among their group such old col
lege stars as Sis Perry, Brick
Starling, Heflin, Baer and Man
gam. , This team is no cinch for
the best teams in the section and
the exhibition that they will
give tonight will probably cause
the Tar Heels to exert thenir
selvcsj'quite a great deal in order
to annex a victory.

tion of her excellence recently
when Dean-Elect Abner Leon

School, now professor of law at
Yale, was elected a member of
the Executive Committee of the
Association of American Law
Schools.- The Association was
assembled at Chicago, December
29-31, With sixty-three of its
sixty-four member schools represented.
The University of North Car
olina Law School was one of the
few schools with a hundred per
cent attendance, and was the
only law school in the South so
signalized. . In fact bur Law
School was more than a hun
dred per cent in attendance,
since not, only the entire faculty
attended, but Dean-Elect Green
and Mr. R. A. McPheeters, Re
search Assistant in Social Sci
ence and Instructor of Commer
ciaf Law in the University
School of Commerce, also were
present.
'.While ihere Professor C. T.
McCormick read a .very inter
esting paper, which received
considerable favorable comment
and praise. This paper, "Lie
Detectors and the Law of Evi
dence," dealt with the recent
contributions of psychology to
the practical administration of
law. The use of serums, gal
vonometers, association word
tests, and other methods were
carefully considered as means of
discovering the truth of testi
mony. This paper is notable
particularly in showing the
trend of the law toward recog
nition of the younger sciences
and a more scientific administra
tion of justice.
The membership of the As
sociation . is limited to those
schools whose faculty, library,
entrance requirements, and in
struction measure up to the high
standard set by the Association.
