Carolina Defeats Blue
Devils By 37-21 Score
University Splits
State Honors With
the Demon Deacons
Vanstory Stars While Bunn
Hackney Plays His Last
and Best Game Here.
The Tar Heels concluded their
1927 home basketball season in
a blaze of glory at the Tin Can
Tuesday night whenthey romp
ed on the Duke Blue Devils 37
to 21. A good crowd witnessed
the last appearance of the Fly
ing Phantoms and watched Cap
tain Bunn Hackney sing his
swan song in a brilliant manner
as he led his cohorts to a vic
tory that enables the Tar Heels
to share the 1927 Collegiate Bas
ketball championship with Wake
Forest.
T. .1- i- CC A '
uuis.v got uii lu an impressive
start and enjoyed a four, point
lead for about five minutes.
Their lead was short lived and
field goals by Captain Bunn
Hackney, Purser, and Vanstory
carried the Phantoms out in
front, from which position they
were never ousted. The gun,
announcing the end of the first
half, found the Tar Heels lead
ing, 20 to 12.'
1 Duke opened the second per
iod with the same offensive drive
that characterized its start of
the contest and in a few minutes
were within 4 points of the lead
ers. Vanstory, R. Hackney, and
brother Bunn again appeared to
dispute the march of the Blue
Devils and aided by splendid
guarding on the part of Morris
forged out in front and were still
increasing their lead when the
game ended.
Billy Vanstory, after a week's
inactivity on account of an in
jured eye, came to life and show
ed flashes of his old form in cop
ping high scoring honors of the
night with 12 points. Captain
Bunn Hackney, playing his last
game in a Tar Heel uniform on
the home court, dashed through
one of his best games of the
year and was easily the most
outstanding man on the court.
He scored 11 points. His brother
Rufus displayed one of the finest
passing games the Tin Can has
seen in years. Every field goal,
with the exception of pne, that
was scored by Carolina in the
first half came directly from a
pass by Rufus!
Bennett and Kelly were the
bright stars for the losers.

In carrying out its policy of
giving the readers the very best
in feature stories the .Tar Heel
today begins the first continued
story by., Walter Creech. The
second installment will appear
Saturday.
"As balls greatly promote gentility
. . we strenuously advocate the prin
ciples thereof as forwarding the best
interests of the institution, as en
hancing the splendors of - our com
mencements,' and as contributing
much, very much, to the gratification
of the adored Fair who honor us with
their company on that universal jubi
lee." Thus reads' a petition from the
students of the University of North
Carolina to its trustees in the year
1833.' It is on these principles that
dancing on the campus has flourished
during; a century and a quarter of
University history. The ivied walls
of Old East Building have witnessed
an ever changing span of ballroom
fashion ranging from the minuet to
the Black Bottom. It is a far cry
from the social ' life of , the modern
campus with its crowded week-ends of
hops and proms to the dim years of
the past which gave birth to Gar
lina when dancing was an annual
event.
Dr. Kemp P. Battle in his History
of the University of North Carolina
says that dancing has come down from
the beginning of the institution. How
ever, "the first commencement was a
staid and dignified occasion, without
dancing or parties to appeal to young
people." The terpsichorean activities
of the university community in those
primitive days were confined) to cotton
picking parties at which ( after the
pile of Cotton in the middle of the
floo was seeded, there was an hilari
ous frolic with reels danced to the
strains of the fiddle. It was as pun
ishment for attending one of the. af
fairs when forbidden that the first
student was expelled from the Uni
versity; The objection of the faculty
was not to dancing. For a dancing
instructor flourished at the time. Soon

An Illiteratus Composes Some
Athletic Poultry for Tar Heel
And Writes to Hon. Editor Dula
Although' "the Tar Heel is a
newspaper" (quotations are Ed
itor Madry's) , and not a publica
tion dedicated to. the expression
of the muse as it emanates from
the souls of men, the staff feels
that it should not deprive the
world of a masterpiece by fail
ing to prnt the following epic.
Since It is manifestly of an ex
cellence that would dim the lus
tre of other articles in the Maga
zine, and is far above the lustre
of the Buccaneer, the only cam
pus publication suitable for its
appearance is the Tar, Heel.
Special attention of the reader
is called to the beautifully senti
mental passages and mournful
retrospection of "Down to the
Tournament."
For the edification of the read
er criticisms of the poem are
printed below:
"Thank God for their scarc
ity n. Y. Sun. - .
it would sound good on
water." London Daily Mail.
"Intelligentsia ammunition."
"Critic Breard.
"Sounds trite to me but I will
not express a final opinion .until
I see what the great Mencken
has to say."- Telfair, III.

The Editor takes the liberty
of re-printing the letter accom
panying the poem. Here it is:
Dear Editor-in-Chief of the Tar

DUKE GAME CALLS OFF OPEN FORUM;
POLITICAL MEETING COMES FRIDAY
The open forum .meeting to
discuss the advantages of a
clearer state of politics on the'
campus will be held at Gerrard
HaH, Friday night at 8 :30. Last
Tuesday night was the original
date set for this mass meeting
but the Carolina" Duke basket
ball game on that night meant
the absence of a great number
of men actively interested in this
question, which necessitated the
change of date.
Meetings and varied private
discussions ever since Dave Car
roll's Driftwood Fire threw its
light on the evils of our exist
ing political conditions have de
bated this question in most of its
details and the conclusions
reached will receive their climax
at the open forum, Friday night.
This meeting is primarily to
discover the sentiment of the
campus on the subject of open
politics: The entire student body
is -.invited by the reformers to
attend this meeting and lend
their opinions to this most vital
matter. Respective speeches are
to be outlined by Dave Carroll,
Taylor Bledsoe, Bob Hardee, al
though no vote will be taken on
any plan.

$625,000 WILL

But As Yet the University Is

- Appropriations.
Raising of the maximum &U

library from $500,000 to $625,
000 featured the amended bud
get recommendations for the
permanent improvements bill
which went to the House Tues
day. However, the total recom
mendation for the University of
$1,220,000 was not increased.
President Chase and the trus
tees had asked for over $600,000
more than the sum recommend
ed. R. B. House, executive secre
tary of the University, in an in
terview with a Tar Heel report
er Tuesday stated that in his
opinion final action on the ap
propriation would not come be
fore the close of the present ses
sion of the Legislature, which
will be during the latter part. of
March. University officials had
no statement to make regarding
their plans for waging a cam
paign to have the budget com
mission's recommendation rais
ed to the sum that the Univer
sity trustees requested.
' $860,000 was the amount ap
proved for the new "library by
the trustees at their last' meet
ing. This sum was approved by
the Legislature in the five-year
improvement program for the
University, adopted in 1922.

Eight Carolina basketball
players will leave Chapel Hill for
Atlanta today to take the affir
mative side of the query, "Re
solved : that the Tar Heels will
win their fourth straight South
ern Conference championship."
The debate is bound to be heat
ed and furious as thirteen other
institutions are sending repre
sentatives to the Georgia city to
uphold the negative side of the
query. .
And thirteen, besides being an
unlucky number, is an awful lot
of enemies to fight during the
short space of four days. Es
pecially when among those
thirteen enemies are found such
powerful quints as Auburn,
Georgia Tech, and Maryland
a quint which has twice con
quered the Flying Phantoms.
Tomorrow afternoon "The
permanent champions of the
South" as one Atlanta sports
writer choosed to call the Phan
toms will trot out before the
critical Georgia fans promptly
at 4:30 and face the dark horsf
of the tournament In the form
of five lightly clad athletes from
the University of Tennessee.
Teimessee last fall proved the
nemesis of Carolina athletic
hopes when the football team
took a long hop to the evolution-storm-center
and came back
trailing under the most over
whelming defeat of the- year.
Captain Bunn Hackney is the
only member of the basketball
crew that tasted the Tennessee
triumph a scant four months
ago, but every one of the eight
are raving to get a chance to
redeem the defeat handed the
gridiron warriors. About the
time Swain Hall attracts its hun
gry mob tomorrow evening, a
special wire to North Carolina
will carry the news as to whether
or not the Tar Heel3 have been
successful in warding off the
first attack of the challenging
thirteen !
