Upon ilie shoulders of C. L. Coggins in the title role of Jones fell most of the responsibility and he handled it well. Throughout the long, part he was always at home on the stage, always at FIRST GAME LOST BY SINGLE POINT Durham Y. M.

C. A. Defeats the Varsity in Basketball by Score of 23 to 22 ill Arrive Soon and Pre pare for Hard Schedule It will not be long before the coach for baseball will be here. Coach, George Bowers, highly recommended by Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia Athletics, will be the man to put the team into shape for the heavy schedule of twenty three games. Three years ago-in 1910--Bow-ers played on the pennant winning team in the Tri State League.

In 1911-1912 he coached the team of the Delancev High School in Philadelphia, Penn. Last year he played first base and outfield on the Anderson team of the Carolina League. Bowers is expected to be here between the first and fifteenth of February, -just about a month before the opening game of the season which will be played with Oak Ridge here on March 14. The new coach is fast and ready with a good record behind hitn-not only a player, but also of being a good coach. The schedule, which is first printed in this number, is one of the Inst Carolina has ever had.

It is this result of the efforts of Manager Strange and Garduate Manager McLendon that gives us eleven games here on the Hill. Of particular interest is the A. M. game in Raleigh. The two great state institutions are at last getting together and complete relations will be resumed from this time on.

The Athletic Council has awarded football monograms to Jones, Dortch, Johnson, Jennings, Stevens, Homewood, Huske, Abernathy, Moore, Tayloe; stars aie awarded to Tillett, Strange, Applewhite, Wakely, and Abernathy, L.

What happened to presented in Gerrard Hall January 28th before some five hundred people, scored a distinct hit' ann showed beyond "a doubt that histrionic talent is not lacking in the University. The play is admirably suited for production by a college dramatic club. A highly artificial comic farce, it is full of ridiculous situations from beginning to end. Jones, a traveling salesman for a hymn book house, with playing cards as a side line, assumes tne role of an Australian bishob; the real bishop becomes mixed up with an escaped luna- "SEVEN It ease, and the complicated sitUB-tions he always mastered.

A little more life, perhaps, might have helped out at limes, but little fault can be found with his work as a whole Coggins seemed to gather confidence as he went along and was noticeably better toward the latter part of thejplay. For the best acting in the entire cast, though, hats off to W. P.M. Weeks as fSbeneezer Goodly Maybe it was because he had living examples of the antiquated professor around him, but certainly he acted the professor of anatomy in impressive style. Every second of the time he was on the stage he was the professor carrying out all the infinite de tails in a manner almost professional.

His make-up was the best in the his every little gesture was to the point, and his whole bearing was prophetic of even better work in the future. In spite of the manifold difficulties of filling a feminine role all six female parts were well taken. H. V. Johnson, as Mrs.

Goodly, was probably the, best and fitted admirably as the middle aged, narrow minded wife. W. B. Pitts as Alvina Starlight looked his part and performed first straight. H.

C. Conrad's Cissy was the best looking woman on the stage and his feminine detailswere excellent. The minor parts were acceptably filled, B. Applewhite as the policeman and Don Harris as the Swedish servant girl being probably the best. The very obvious difficulties of production in Gerrard Hall were met fairly well.

All in all, "What Happened to Jones" was encouraging. It is certainly the best Dramatic Club performance of a college generation, and with a little more snap and go will compare favorably with any amateua performance iu this section of the country. To professor McKie, Cross, and Booker go the credit of coaching and to Mrs. W. M.

Dey ihe credit for supervising the make-up of the feminine parts. GLEE CLUB GOING ON EXTENDED TOUR The University Glee Club, under the care of Manager Speight Hunter, will leave the early part of next week on a trip through the western part of the State. The itinerary of the club is Mor-ganton, Feb. 3rd; Lenoir, the 4th; Hickory, the Sth; Winstori-Salem, the 6th; Mt. Airy, the 7th; and Greensboro, the 8th.

From all indications the club should enjoy a prosperous trip-one that will serve as a good advertisement for the University. SATELLITES CLOSE AND EXCITING GAME ALL THE WAY Poor Work Wretched Shooting of Fouls Lose Against a Team Individually Inferior The local basketball season was opened last Monday night at the Gymnasium by a contest Y. M. C. A.

Carolina lost the game by one pointTthe final, score, being 23 to 22 in favor of Durham. The finish was close and exciting, the last two minutes of play being especially lively. The winning goal. was made by a Y. M.

C. A. player knocking the ball into the basket from a held-ball'throw up. Captain Chambers started the game off auspiciously enough by dropping a pretty one in after a few minutes of play. Holcomb, however, soon retaliated with another, which on3 account of being thrown after he was fouled, counted three.

M. C. A. almost immediately added another from'field. After that Jhe teams took turns, first Carolina shooting goal, then'Durham scoring.

When time was ca'led for the first half the score stoodll to 10 in favor of Durham. In the second half Carolina started in to win and ran up six points, two'on fouls, before Durham woke up. Then for several minutes both'sides failed to score; but with about fourTminutes to play, Durham rallied and made eight points while Carolina'was collecting three, two on a pretty throw by Long, a new man. This left Y. M.

C. A. one point ahead, but Redman, another new man, changed the score in our favor by a field goal. With less than a minute to play excitement rose to) fever heat to see which way fortune's wheel would turn next. The end came unex pectedly.

On the throw up of held ball the Durham player knocked the sphere into the basket, and before anything else could be done the timekeeper rushed into the court calling, "time out." The game showed the Carolina team to be very weak in passing and team work. Tnere was not enough of either; but there was too much individual playing. With better individual players and better goal throwers they lost the game through lack of these things to an individually weaker team which, however, Continued on fourth page Large Crowds Attend Listen to Harvard Profesoor and IS GRRISTIANITYiPRACnCABLE? What Is Its Relation to the Modern Fomily ane to Modern World of i Business! The sixth series of the John Calvin McNair lectures was delivered in Gerrard Hall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights by Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Harvard University.

The lectures were largely attended. In addition to the student body, many people from various'; parts of the State were on the Hill in order to attend the lectures. The general theme of all of Dr. Peabody's addresses was "The Practicability of he Christian Life." He spoke on this directly in the first lecture; in the second he dealt with "Christian Life and the Family," reserving for the third lecture the question of "Christian Life and the World of Modern Business." In his first lecture, Dr. Peabody laid down the proposition that the problem of the Christian life is a practical and genuine affaiiv Paul reinforces the general doctrine of Christian ethics to specific circumstances.

Is it possible ten day, as in the first century, to maintain a sober, righteous, pious life amid modern social conditions under which the average man has to devote nine-tenths of his time to the making of a living? Must not one choose between the gospel idealism and modern unita- rianism? The effects of the mis conduct of professing Christians on one hand and of the austerity of such a life as Tolstoi's seem to confirm this view. So do many other modern interpretations of the gospel, as the interpretation of Jesus as a Socialist. Such as these, however, distort the perspective: close' scrutiny of ih se arguments reveal the fact that the Christian religion is much bigger than either 'its defenders or critics have guessed. True Christianity is not something published in Palestine; it is a iiving, growing spirit As one reads the gospels of theNew Testament, one finds two great words: power, life. They are not words of opinion, but symbols of dyna mic faith.

Christian character becomes, then, a living and an expanding growth; and on this conclusion rests not the practi cability of the Christian life, but its utility.
