(By Henry C. Lay)
The University of North Car
olina will meet V. P. I.'s boxing
team in the Tin Can tonight at
8:30. The Gobblers will be
fighting to keep their record
clean as they have already de
feated Washington and Lee
twice this season. Carolina so
far has an unblemished slate
-with their win over the Univer
sity of Florida last Monday
night.
Washington and Lee has an
excellent array of skillful mitt-
rmen and it was quite a feat for
the Virginia Techs to gather in
two victories. Last year V. P.
1 fell victim to the Tar Heel's
onslaught of blows, but they
lave a vastly improved team
this season. . Captain Shuford
and his teammates will be fight
3ng to repeat their victory of
last year and to keep up the hun
dred per cent record.
Ern Carpenter will represent
Carolina in the bantamweight
class. "He puFup a . classy bit of
boxing against Florida and many
spectators have said that his
was the best bout of the evening.
In the eliminations held Thurs
day Jack Baird and Christy
ilatheson fought to a draw and
4t has not been decided which
man will go into the ring for
Carolina. Both of these men are
last and skillful boxers and
should bring in the bacon.

Football has returned, per

nevertheless it is here. The old
familiar "thud" of body on turf,
or boot against leather will once
more resound back and forth on
old Emerson field, as the Caro
lina gridiron coaches issue their
call for winter practice a little
arlier than winter practice has

it might not be a bad idea to
all the practice spring practice
instead of winter practice, as
the weather is pleasant enough
at present to deserve the title
of anything warm,
i Practice will definitely start

Coaches Collins, Cerney, and
Fetzer will all be on hand to wel

the realms of "North Carolina.
The coaches are particularly em

underlying principles and fun
damentals of the game is in the

MATMEN PREPARE
FOR BIG SEASON
Only One Position As Yet Un
decided; Many Veterans

The Carolina wrestling team
is settling down to a final week

the season. The mat game has
always proved an immensely
popular .one since, its introduc

years ago. This year, the second
that the game has been under
the direction of Coach P. H,
Quinlan, has seen more j candi
dates for positions on the wrest
ling team than ever before.
The position in only one
class is still undecided. No out
standing candidates have been
uncovered in the 115 lb. class.
It is considered probable that
Motsinger, veteran grappler,
may be able to train down to
this weight, leaving the 125 lb,

BOSWELLS FORGET FACTS
Among the much discussed
questions now going the rounds

ety Yacht Opinion seems to be
divided ; the sticklers for tra
dition cannot bear to have their
Yackety Yack show any devi
ance from the previous ones or
else they cannot forbear the sat
isfaction of having their vani
ties tickled by a stock write-up
which tells what "a good true
pal" each senior is and how a
bounding he is in golden qual
ities of which he never dreamed.
On the other hand, a large
group of students realize the ut
ter absurdity of write-ups and
are desirous of doing away with
them in order to improve the
quality of the annual. J Among
this group may be found the
editor of the Yackety Yack and
also the staff of the annual, men
who have had some experience
in annual work and realize
from past experience the im
possibility of securing good
write-ups and the advanges of
no write-ups at all rather than
mediocre ones.

Last Night.
GRAND MARCH A SUCCESS
Last night those of the campus
who rank as honored Juniors
flung cares aside and celebrat
ed ; paying tribute to themselves
at one of the season's most en
joyable social affairs. The class
of '28 offered an innovation in
the way of University socials as
a Junior dance is unprecedented
in the annals of local society.
The success of last night was
such as to predict that the plan
will be adopted by succeeding
classes in future years.
The Junior Prom, inaugurat
ing the social whirl of the week
end, set a pace which if followed
or attained by the affairs which
succeed, will mark the present
season as one of brilliant social
attainments. Girls from all
corners of the state, a glorious,
gay, gladsome, galaxy of girls
glitteringly gowned gathered to
grace the Gymnasium with
glamorous gayety. The third
year men joined in the celebra
tion of class glory and the enthu
siasm of class spirit reached in

Tuesday night at 8 :30 at
Swain Hall, there will be held a
special senior smoker. There
will be no invited speakers, and
the meeting will be given over in
its entirety to the discussion of
the problem of Senior write-ups
in the Yackety-Yack.
The question is expected to
receive a final thrashing out at
this time. Fifteen minutes will
be given to each side of the ar-
gument. It is expected that Al
Moore, Yackety-Yack editor,
and A. K. Smith, business man
ager, will present their side of
the case. Several conferences
have been held lately between
the Senior class executive com
mittee and Yackety-Yack . offi
cials, in an effort to come to some
agreement. Zack Williams and
II. A. Wood, members of the ex
ecutivecommittee, will probably
present the senior's side of the
case.
After the discussion, a vote
will be taken on the question. If
the class upholds the Yackety-
Yack, that will naturally close
the subject. However, if they
continue to oppose it, it will then
be the Yackety-Yack's move, and
they will be expected to yield to
popular sentiment. ' ,
,., Refreshments will be served,
and smokes will be on hand,
but the smoker will be a strictly
business one. There will only
be the two fifteen minute pres
entations of the question, no for
mal discussion being permitted.
As the meeting will be one of
extreme importance to all mem
bers of the class of '27, it is ex
pected that every senior will be
present at the final public
thrashing out of this subject.

AL MOORE IS DENOUNCED
TIGER BASKETlEERS
FLOP FINANCIALLY
Clemson Team Unable to Raise Ade
quate Funds for Trip.
(By Judah.Shohan)
According to present indica
tions the lid is off and it's war
to the death between C. A. P.
"Al" Moore, and a large and in
fluential faction of the Senior
class. . "Al" says the boys shall
not have their customary write-
ups in the Yackety-Yack, and the
seniors evidently want their
write-ups or "AP"s hide.
The pretty kettle of fish first
boiled over at the '27 smoker
last quarter. The worthy edi
tor rose and laid down the law to
his class-mates. 7No such hokum
shall contaminate his pet, said
Cap. And then the storm broke.
The seniors demanded what they
considered their traditional dues,
and in a vote on the question,
only three members voted a
gainst write-ups. These were
Al, himself, a colleague on the
Yackety-Yack staff, and Bob
Hardee.
The split then seemed to be
mending for a while, but rumb
lings in the inner councils of the
seniors foreboded ill for "Al".
The split was becoming wider,
and has now approached a point
where it is expected to burst in
to an open feud any moment.

NORWICH STAGES
NOVEL MEET WITH
RIFLERS IN FEB.
1st Intercollegiate Match Brings
Tar Heels in Contact with
Strong Team.
TO ENTER NATIONAL MEET
The basketball game, schedul
ed for tonight with Clemson, has
been called off by the Clemson
college authorities. The only
reason given by the South Car
olinians for their sudden deci
sion not to meet the Southern
champions is that the team could
not scrape together enough fi
nancial consideration to make
the trip.
The University officials were
informed of the cancelled game
to late to arrange another for
this week-end, and the students
will have to do without their
Saturday night dose of basket
ball.
A game has been arranged for
Saturday afternoon with Coach
Belding's Tar Baby basketeers
as the opposition for the varsity.
The varsity-frosh game starts
around four-thirty and will be
free to all interested enough to
journey down to the Tin Can.
A preacher in Memphis says hell is
25.000 miles in circumference. Won
der whether' there's anything signifi
cant in the fact that the earth is also
25,000 miles ' in circumference. '
At the meeting of the rifle
club Tuesday several important
matters were decided. The exe
cutive committee of the club,
which has charge of the arrange
ment of all matches, accepted
the challenge of the Norwich
University Rifle team for a
shooting match to be held the
first week in February. The
members of the club also voted
to raise the initiation fee from
$7 to $9, the increase to take ef
fect after January 29. Dues will
remain the same $3 a year.
The Norwich University has
one of the most formidable rifle
teams in the country, and the
University is indeed fortunate in
arranging a match with such an
outstanding school. Norwich
was one of the twelve teams at
the National Intercollegiate
match last spring and they fin
ished fourth. Their record was
surpassed only by the two Navy
teams and George Washington
University. Norwich last year
had the individual National rifle
champion.

the rifle club is Urged to send in
