THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1947 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Pajre Three iddie Swimmers Sink Blue Dolphins At Annapolis, 50-25 ORT SPINS with IRWIN SMALLWOOD CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS come and ago, rise and fall. One year they will be popular, and the next year they will sink into near obscurity. But there's one that, although forced out of ac tivity because of the war, always keeps its same high place among the college student groups. We're speaking of the Monogram club, the club made up of the lettermen from all the varsity sports here at Carolina. For years before the war, this select group held its place of high esteem and importance on the campus, but due to a lack of manpower during the war years, the club had to de activate. However, since the cessation of hostilities, the club has been re organized, and today it is rising back to the former level of importance it once held. With membership probably harder to attain than in any other club on the campus, the Monogram club boasts of a roster of boys bound together with ties of mutual effort. No matter through what sport they gained admittance into the club, they all have experienced the constant grind of practice, vic tory and defeat, and they are all bound together by a reciprocal respect for the accomplishments of each other. Just last Tuesday night President Jim Camp (starting wingback of the 1946 Tar HeeLgridders) directed the initiation of a group of new members, those who won their letters in football and cross country last fall. Athletic Director Bob Fetzer and his assistant, Chuck Erickson, were on hand as guest speakers, and the solemn inductive program was one of significant importance to those present. Following initiation each member signs a Monogram "code," and being a proud member of the organization and having read the document, we thought it something that every student should read and understand. It is a code of good sportsmanship and conduct which befits the non-athlete as well as the athlete in many respects. Read it, and see if. you don't agree that it is a code well worth following. The Monogram Club Code believe in the University, her traditions, her standards of scholar ship, her devotion to sound, clean manhood. I believe ira the team. We are all for one and one for all. The failure of my teammate is my failure and his power is my power. I do not wish to' be a star, but I will give all I have for the team. I believe in the game. It challenges my courage, and tests my skill. It teaches vie patience and self-control. It requires me at times to "take it on the chin" and get up with a smile, ready and eager for more. It does not tolerate wrangling or jealousies or alibis. It expects me to be fit in body and mind, and to keep fit by building sound and efficient mental and physical habits. It rewards intelligent and unwearied drive and condemns sloppiness, haphazardness, laxness, and loafing. It is a man's game, built solely for courageous, clean, and intelligent men. I realize and assume my duty as a monogram man. The University has trained me and built its schedules counting on me. I pledge my best to stay in school, to continue participation in the game, to keep in training, to give my best, to work ahvays for greater excellence. I will strive to be a better athlete each successive year. I realize my personal responsibility for the attitude and the stand ards of the successive generations of athletes who are coming up at Carolina, for the standards of sportsmanship among all students and not just among athletes, for the good or bad repute in which the people on the outside hold Carolina athletes. As a wearer of the "NO" I will at all times .remember and fulfill my duties in keeping our standards and reputation high and spotless. I want to be deserving, not asking hand-outs. I want to win my place because I am the best man, not by waiting until a better man graduates and I attain it by right of succession. I want to meet non-athletes in the classroom on even terms without thought of favors, for after all I am at college to get an education and make a man of myself. I engage in sports for the love of the game and the glory of the school, and if I have a job on the outside, I want to secure it because I am a good work man. I believe in victory. The scoreboard is an incident. Victory is in the heart. It is bom in the hard, clean fight. It is the consciousness that I have done my best. I will fight for the University glory until the last sound of the whistle.

It was the Blue Dolphins' second defeat of the season and the second year in a row that the Middies have defeated the boys from Chapel Hill. Coach Dick Jamerson's crew just missed getting off to a good start when Jesse Greenbaum lost by in ches in the 50 yard free style and in the following event when the Caro linians took the free-style relay only to be disqualified on a point of tech nicality. Carolina Stars From then on the Dolphins never seemed to be able to get back into the meet, notwithstanding the efforts of mermen Buddy Crone, Warren Ficklen, Norman Sper and Green baum, the Carolina stars. Crone and Sper took first and sec ond in the diving with the latter also adding a second in the 150-yard back stroke. Ficklen captured the top hon ors in the 220 yard free-style, while Greenbaum was contributing seconds in the 50 and 100-yard free-style. Weekend Events The mermen will return home today to begin preparations for a rather hectic weekend, with meets scheduled for both Saturday afternoon and eve ning. Tennessee will be the first opponent of the Dolphins on the big day, and the Volunteers are reported to be com ing east loaded to the gills.
