C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1927 NUMBER 40 SMART DECRIES LACK OF GOD IN LIFE OF TODAY Emory University Theological Professor Delivers Second of Series of Interpreta tions of God. GOD KEEPS FAITH WITH US Speaking before a crowded house in Gerrard Hall Sunday evening, Dr. W. Aiken Smart, professor of Biblical Theology at Emory University, delivered the second, of a series of interpre tations, of God by men eminen in the fields of science and reli gion. . ' Declaring that when the race was young it was easy to see the hand of God in everything tha was mysterious or out of the or dinary, Dr. Smart decried the fact that God has no place in our lives today. Then, He was very personal God who spent most of his time keeping His eye on the affairs of the world. It was natural that everything should happen as it did because God acted as superintendent. The unfortunate .thing is that we now retreat into the past to find evidences of the exis tence of a Supreme Being. He is more and more becoming iden tified with all that is bizarre, un common and even freakish m our life. I say that ..the man who cannot find proof of the ex istence of a God in his daily life and who is forced back to bibli cal records" to find proof of His existence 1 say he is not a Christian. AH that is important and necessary in life can be di rectify attributed to Him. "God keeps faith with us," Dr. Smart said. Through the laws of what for a better term we call nature we are assured of regularity in our daily life Throughout all of our existence we need faith, and God keeps faith with us. He is not whimsi cal or changing." Dr. Smart cited many exam ples which confirmed his belief in God.

Following an informal recep tion at the Carolina Inn, .the party' was entertained by Di rector Frederick H. Koch of the Playmakers and President Chase. Professor Koch present ed the actor with a Carolina playmaker mask, making him the second person other than an active member of the Playmak ers to be so honored. Hatcher Hughes, another graduate who was a visitor here last year, was the other. Blackmer told President Chase that he and Miss Kennedy plan to present "The Mountain Man" here in the near future. (This play was one in which the Salis bury man scored his greatest success, lhe proceeds, he said would go to the Playmakers fo development of drama in the state. f After visiting the Playmaker theatre, where the party ex pressed interest in the phases cf work done by Carolina players, they returned to Durham for the matinee performance of "Love-In-A-Mist." A large number of students attended the afternoon and night performances. The play was considered by critics as the best stage, play given in Durham this season, receiving prolonged applause from the audience. Blackmer left North Carolina 10 years ago and in five years had gained fame on Broadway. He expressed much interest in North Carolina and said that he would come back as often as he could.

Sat urday night's fiasco with Hamp- den-Sidney was supposed to ush er in the intercollegiate basket ball season for 1927, but a score of 64 to 5 is not a very fitting manner in which to enter upon a long, hard season. The lads from the "far" South are making their annual north ern tour. Georgia, always the home of impressive athletic rep resentatives, has another strong basketball team this year. Geor gia Tech, boasting of one of the strongest teams in years, bare- y defeated the Georgia Bull dogs Saturday night by the score of 36 to 35 in a battle that wa3 forced into extra periods.

Ten half frozen, shivering bas ketball players trotted out on the floor of the University tin can recognized as the world's larg est "Ice Box" -Saturday night and ran wildly about in an ef fort to stir up a bit of heat. Several' hundred frost-bitten spectators, with teeth chatter ing, watched the Carolina team thaw out slowly, finally swing into its stride and literally snow under the quint from Hampden Sidney by a score of 64 to 5. The Tigers apparently never did get hot enough to do much damage on account of the icy defense of Captain Bunn Hack ney and Pinkey Morris, Tar Heel guards. Only one field bas ket was counted by the boys from up Virginia way during the entire night's entertainment. Two of the invaders' five points came in the last minute of play as the result of foul shots. The tin can was so cold that many of the players made their appearance garbed in two or three "sweat" shirts and gloves. The Hampden-Sidney lads even played the first few minutes in their sweat shirts. Hackney First Scorer - Bunn Hackney was the first Carolina man to stir up enough feeling in his cold palms to drop the ball through the net on a neat crip shot a few minutes after the whistle blew for the start of the contest. From that time on, the superiority of the southern champions was clearly evidenced, and although at times the passing was ragged and the shooting was worse, f Coach (Continued on page four) HOLT AWARDS OF YEAR ANNOUNCED Four Scholarships Given To Stu dents of Each of Under- . graduate Classes. 20 APPLICATIONS MADE The annual award of the four Holt scholarships has just been announced by the scholarship committee.
