0 Saturday, January 14, 1928 THE TAR HEEL Page Three HEEL HARRIERS HAVE0NLY1INE' Plenty of Strength in Distance Races but Weak in Field and Sprints The University of North Carolina tractf squad, undefeated in a dual meet in five years, and with , six state and one Southern Conference titles to its credit, faces a rather lean sea son next spring. Coach Bob Fetzer and his assistants have only nine let termen back as a nucleus for s the team, and those veterans are - all bunched in five events. That leaves nine events in the hands of untried rookies. The greatest strength of the Tar Heels will be centered in the distance races and in the weights, with fair representation in the hurdles and high jump. There are no lettermen back for the sprints and middle distances, and the coaches will have to devevlop men to fill the shoes of such brilliant performers as Gus McPherson, Rhine hart, and others who carried the Blue and White to victory after victory in years gone by. ' - . The cross-cuuntry squad which won its second straight Southern Confer ence title this fall will furnish the milers and two milers galore. Of course Coach Fetzer has Galen El liott, AU-American miler, and Captain Hoyt Pritchett, Southern record hold er in the two mile as, a nucleus this year. In addition there - is Johnnie Henderson, two miler on the 1926 team, who returned to the University this fall to win second place in the Conference cross-country run. Harper and Colburn, big boys who heave the weights, will again bear the brunt of the work in the shot and discus, while Myers will be back in the javelin. Harper heaved the dis cus to first place in the Conference meet in Baton Rouge last year, while Colburn did fine work in the shot and pushed Harper in the discus. Pearson and Purser, hurdlers and jumpers, will be aided this season by Raymond Ambrose, star of the 1925 and 1926 teams. Ambrose was held out of competition last year by heavy work in the School of Engineering Hopi Chieftain 5 Public Wants to Dream When It Reads Papers, Says Editor (Continued from page one) tronomy and geology. The speaker de clared that this showed that many men and women are tired and worn from work and wish in their leisure time to dream. "Their souls reach out," he said, "for the stars and the weather-beaten rocks. They sicken of the mawkish sentiment and the false romance of the tricks of the' movies. They yearn to feed their minds on subjects which concern the eternal forces lying behind the mys tic veils of creation." Clark' Speaks R. R. Clark, Statesville editor, and a former president of the North Caro lina Press association, following Mr. Pew gave an address on The Editorial Page. Mr. Clark emphasized fair ness and sincerity as the guiding prin ciples to be observed. "If the edito rial writer is sincere, i.f the reader is convinced of the honesty of pur pose, as he will if the writer is true to conviction, there need be no con cern about results," asserted Mr, Clark. The attendance at the convention aggregated 150, setting a new atten dance record. Five former presidents of the North Carolina Press associa tion were present at the meeting. At the conclusion of the night session, the group was entertained by the Playmakers who gave a special pres entation of "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," in which Howard Mumford Jones of the University faculty took the leading role. v Talks Thursday morning were giv en by H. G. Braxton, publisher of the Kinston Free Press; Mrs. W. C. Ham mer, business manager of, the Ash boro Courier; and Miss Beatrice Cobb, publisher of the Morganton News Herald. . Speakers for the afternoon session were E. B. Jeffries, president of the Greensboro Daily News, and D. R. Barbee, managing editor of the Ashe ville Citizen, A. L. Stockton- of the North Carolina Press association, pre sided over the meetings, A X . Sew. 4 (i s 'rv OFFER TOURS FOR STATE "TEACHERS Modern Language Teachers in High Schools May Go to Eu rope for Summer Study. Chief Kol-chov-te-wa, "Rope Out of Bear Hide," who with five other Indians of the Hopi tribe is appear- ing in Memorial Hall Monday night under the auspices of the Playmakers. This is the first and last appearance in the south of these braves who, we are told, are from the oldest tribe in the United States. Announcements of two foreign trav el study tours to be offered this sum mer by the University of North Caro lina have been sent to modern lan guage teachers in the schools of the state by R. M. Grumman, acting di rector, University Extension Division, which is sponsoring these tours as a regular part of its educational service. Designed primarily for students, teachers and other?men and women in terested in travel . and instruction abroad, these tours are planned with the view of making a special appeal to teachers of modern language.. "The value of directed instruction in the language and literature of the country visited is obvious to those desiring to become more proficient in the mastery of its speech, or to pre pare themselves as language instruc tors," says the announcement. The courses offered carry college credit and teachers may also earn certification credit in this way. Due to the remarkable success of the German tour conducted last sum mer under the same plan, the Uni versity is organizing two tours for the summer of 1928; one which will concentrate on the , study of French in Paris, with expeditions and side trips to many of the most interest ing cities and , districts - of France ; and one which 'will have as its aim the study of German in the countries of Central Europe, including . two weeks' stay in both Vienna and Mu nich.- . ' ' The college courses offered are open to all members of the tours, but are not obligatory. , Prof. E. C. Metzen- thin, associate professor of German, will teach the courses off ered in . con nection with the Central European tour. AT THE CAROLINA Tom toms; in the jungle are the principal forms of communication. Their penetrating beats, passed on from one to another can be heard for miles. They are also the "music" for the strange religious rites of jungle natives. In rhythmic cadences they can time the solemnity of funeral rites, or pounded swiftly they can stir the wild excesses of the barbaric voo doo dance. White men in the jungle are not immune to their influence. In the weeks of preparation for the filming of Ralph Ince's FBO production, "South Sea Love," to be shown at the Carolina Theatre today, dozens, of torn toms of various sizes and kinds were collected. When the company went on location in the jungle growth along the San ta Ana river in southern California a real South Sea Islander was taken along to teach a collection of nearly 100 colored men how to operate them. They kept it up for an entire day in a village of grass huts constructed for use in the picture. The women of the unit gathered around. The chil dren ceased playing and listened. They displayed the greatest enthusi asm during some of the ceremonies. Toward the end of some of the hot days it was possible to banish all signs of weariness from the players by beating on the drums with vary ing degrees of tempo. In the story' Patsy Ruth Miller is driven to the verge of nervous pros tration by the persistency of the torn torn beating. In reality she found it enjoyable at first, but at the . end of the third day she admitted it had had such an extraordinary effect upon her nerves that she could hear the thump ing sounds in her sleep at night ami frequently awoke with terrified starts. Slides of the work throughout the world of the King's Daughters will be shown Sunday evening at 7:30 O'clock in the Chapel of the Cross, it is announced by members of the Chapel Hill King's Daughters. The showing is free, and it is hoped that many, including students, will be in attendance. . - Is Your Education WorthWhatit Costs?
