(By J. G. Hamilton, Jr.) BASKETBALL has occupied tthe center of the stage for the last three days. Wednesday night the. Tar Heels went down before the strong Raleigh Y. "M. C. A., team. Prank .Goodwin, former State star and all-southern center last year, was chiefly responsible for this defeat. Thursday night Carolina dis played a reversal of form and defeated the 'Greensboro T 41-10. Last night the team continued its winning ways against the Durham Y, a team composed largely of former college stars. Former Carolina players, Billy Devin and Ruf us -.Hackney, were stars for Durham. In these games the team, while having a tendency to miss a great number of easy shots, has displayed a smoothly working organization that gives promise of becoming a strong team; Brown, Marpet, Slater, Choate and Hutchison have all shown up well. Last night's gameTwas the last of the games to be played "before Christmas. The next game on the schedule is against the Greensboro Y and will be played on January 10, .FOOTBALL CREDITS are suggested by Dean James D. Hoskins of the University of Tennessee as part of the school's physical education program. He would permit these credits to be substituted for certain elective subjects. "Minds are quickened and judgment is developed more by football lettermen," Dean Hoskins said. "The assistance is equal to or better than that acquired in an equal amount of time spent studying academic subjects. The question of allow ing credit for all extra curricu lum activities is now being con sidered. None of these has ac quired the intensity of football.'.' We think that there is a, good deal in the Dean's plan but we see no reason to confine the credits to football. Baseball, basketball; in fact, most ath letics, develop the qualities of judgment and mental alertness. The plan might settle the wor ries of the Carnegie Foundation. All schools give scholarships to worthy students and if playing football is part of an educa tion there can be no objection to giving scholarships to foot ball players. COACH JIMMY DEHART'S failure to produce a winning team at Duke this year has aroused the ire of the alumni of that institution. In regard to this row and any others of the type, we would like to borrow a remark from the Ring-turn Phi of Washington and Lee : "It's a great old game, this thing of blaming bad seasons and rot ten teams on the coach. In many instances it is possible that the blame is deserved by him, but in more it belongs elsewhere." Glancing back over the Duke schedule for the year we can say only that if Coach DeHart had turned out a winning team under such circumstances he would have been a miracle coach. THE ANNUAL MEETING of the Association of Southern Coaches and Athletic Directors is being held in Baton Rouge, La. The coaches were to act on a number of proposed amend ments to the constitution of the Southern Conference. The most important of these are the long nronnspd ssnlit conference, a i central booking agency for of ficials in the south, eligibility rules as applied to junior col lege men, and the possible elim ination of scouting in Dixie. We STATISTICS TE 1A1A I0W TAR SCORED 53 TffiUS Team Scored 28 Extra Points; lhirty-Two Scores Came From Huns; Eighteen From Passes. Figures tell an interesting story about the Carolina Tar Heels got their 346 points to lead the south and east and place second in the national scoring chase. There were 53 touchdowns and 28 extra points. Thirty two touchdowns came from runs from scrimmage that ranged from 1 to 63 yards and averaged 19 2-3 yards. Eighteen came from passes that ranged by total gams from 3 to 67 yards and averaged 31 yards. Two came from punt returns, 55 and 60 yards, respectively. One came from a blocked punt recovered behind the goal. The total yardage on the 53 scoring plays was 1300, an aver age gain of 24 1-2 yards on each touchdown play. Jimmy Ward, senior halfback and triple-threat, led the scor ing parade, participated in by 13 players, with 12 touchdowns and 72 points. Yank Spaulding, third-year fullback, leading the extra-point kickers with 16, and with 7 touchdowns, placed sec ond with 58 points. Captain elect Strud Nash, hard-running right half, was third with 54 points. Other scoring leaders were johnny Branch, quarter, 32 ; Jim Magner, half, 31 ; Rip Slus- ser, half, 24; Chuck Erickson, half, 18. Jim Magner turned: in the longest touchdown gallop from scrimmage a 63-yard sprint against Maryland. Jimmy Ward was a close second with a 62T yard run against Davidson and a "47-yard sprint against Duke. Chuck Erickson and Jimmy Maus accounted for the longest pass gain. Maus hurled Erick son a 20-yard pass in the N. C. State game that Erickson con verted into a 67-yard gain. Johnny Branch, broken field ace, was on the receiving end of two passes that both netted 60 yards, and Spaulding likewise once. Nash's 60-yard sprint at N. C. State's expense was the long est punt return for touchdown, pushed closely by Branch's 55 yard gallop against Georgia Tech. The longest run with an inter cepted pass was Erickson's 71 yard run against N. C. State, but Erickson lacked 4 yards of a touchdown. Frosh Basketball To Begin In January Freshman basketball practice will start immediately after the Christmas holidays, Coach Rex Enright announced yesterday. Equipment will be issued on the first day of school and practice will start that afternoon, at the Tin Can. The Codex of Roda, lost for about 175 years, is now safely housed in the Spanish National Library at Madrid. It was pur chased recently by the govern ment at a cost approximating $11,000. The Codex deals with the events of the later 10th and the 11th centuries. Courses in navigation for young women fliers are includ ed, in the fall curriculum of Barnard College for Women at New York. would welcome the split in the conference ; in its present form it is too unweildy to handle ef ficiently and properly. In our opinion, two conferences,: with the set of officers to insure har mony, would be much more de sirable. ; " "Puny" Harper :- "Puny" Harper is Carolina's only three letter man. He is playing his last year for Caro lina. His size always makes him a troublesome opponent. FINE OUTLOOK FOR FRESHftlAN BOXING i m ii i i i Gray, Miller, Landis, Hubbard, And Levinson Appear To , Be Best? r The prospects of the freshman boxing team for this year are much brighter than those of last year's team. While not as many men reported for boxing at the end of the football season as had been expected, the squad makes up in quality for what is lost in quantity. The team will prob ably be built around Jimmy Gray, Bill Miller, P. W. Landis, R. Hubbard, and Martin Levin son. Gray, a fast and shifty man, will probably make one of the lighter weights on account of his hard hitting and good box ing. , Miller, a heavyweight, carries a terrific wallop, is fast for his size and build, and boxes well. His left handed style seems to bother nis opponents to the extent that he is able to get in extra blows. Hubbard broke his thumb in practice, but will be in shape before the matches start in January. Lan dis, a football man, has not had much chance to show what he can do on account of being pre occupied with football. Levin son gives promise of being the outstanding man on the team. He is an experienced man with a powerful wallop. Receiver's Sale Monday A receivers' sale of the office furniture, and bills and notes re ceivable of the Chapel Hill In surance and Realty Company will be held at the post office' door Monday, December 23, at 12 o'clock noon. A list of the bills, notes and accounts to be sold at this auction is placed for public inspection in the of fice of the Chapel Hill Insurance and Realty Co. Failure of highest bidders to pay for property bought at auc tion has caused a delay in closing up the receivership. These bid ders are being .pressed for pay ment and it is expected that the court will be able to give the re ceivers their discharge in Janu ary. Some of the real estate could not be sold for as much as it was mortgaged for, and will be turned over to the holders of the mortgages. REWARD If the person who took a dark gray Stein Brothers, of Fayette ville, topcoat from the library coat room Thursday night will brinsr it to the Lambda Chi Al pha house, I will reward him and ask no questions.
