THE DAVIDSONIAN, MARCH 13, 1924 ALL-SOUTHERN PICK AND COACH MONK'S SELECTION J. G. Frasicr Guilford, Carmiehael N. C. MeI)onald-N.

R. G. Boggs Davidson, R. G. The Reel Stuff The Question Box Mr.

Somerville, Davidson Alumnus, to Address Is Pastor of Presbyterian Church of Hillsville, Va. Rev. Walter G. Somerville, oi Hillsville, a former Davidson student, will speak at the service next Sunday night. Mr.

Somerville is in charge of Home Mission work in Hillsville and in the surrounding country. His remarkable success there seems all the more unusual as several years ago that town was the scene of a great deal of trouble. Due to his excellent work there several larger churches and communities have made him better offers but he has refused to accept them. Mr. J.

F. Johnston, one of the prominent laymen of the Southern Church, who was originally from Hillsville, and who knew the need of a worker there, was responsible for his going to that town. While Mr. Somerville was in Davidson he was, in addition to being president of the Y. M.

C. one of the most popular men on the hill. At the beginning of the war he enlisted as a private, but at the close of the war he was a major. As he is still young, this was a remarkable achievement. He may also be remembered by some of the older men on the hill as being here with James Fowlc several years ago to conduct the meeting, which was a great success.

Mr. Somerville will arrive in Davidson on Thursday or Friday and will stay with Mr. Williams. He will be glad to talk with any one interested in mission work at any time during his stay here. He understands Davidson problems and men and will also be glad to talk with any men on any special problems they may have to bring to him.

At the close of the S. I. C. Basketball Tournament held recently in Atlanta, the All-Southern quintet was chosen by Morgan Blake and other Atlanta sport writers. The University of North Carolina, by virtue of their winning the tournament, was awarded three places upon the team.

Alabama the other finalist was given one place. The Mississippi Aggies, champions of last year were given the other place. The All-Southern selection is as follows Cobb-N. R. F.

Carmiehael N. L. F. Carter C. McDonald N.

R. G. Gatcliell Miss. Aggies, L. G.

This is the second time that Carmiehael, McDonald and Gatcliell have made the All-Southern team. Carmiehael and McDonald making it in 1022, when Carolina won the championship lor the first time. Gatcliell of the Mississippi Aggies, lastyear champions, has been put on the team for two years in succession. Cobb, of Carolina, was the high-point man oftlie tournament; Carmiehael was the runner-up in the number of points scored. Cobb and Carmiehael, Carolina's two forwards, because of their excellent floor work, and their ability to score, were unanimous choices for the forward positions.

Carter, of Alabama, was the outstanding center of the tournament. He played his best game when Carolina met Alabama in the finals; besides leading his team in the number of points scored, he got the tip-off almost invariably. McDonald, of Carolina was picked for the position of running guard because of his teamwork, his guarding dribbling, and general value to the team. Gatcliell, of the Mississippi Aggies, was generally conceded to be the best stationary guard of the tournament. Most of the points scored against the Aggies were from long shots and fouls.

All in all, this is one of the best All-Southern teams which has ever been selected. Coach Younger's All-State team seems to be as representative as any that has been chosen. It is as follows: Cobb-N. R. F.

SPANISH SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS MARKS NEW FEATURE An interesting and instructive class is conducted entirely in Spanish by Doctor Meagle each Sunday morning. The mem bers have Spanish testaments, Spanish song books, and Spanish quarterlies. In the absence of Doctor Fleagle the class last Sunday was led by Wallace Purdy. It was opened with the singing of several songs, followed by a prayer from one of the members. After the lesson had been read responsively, various talks were made on the daily Bible readings for the week, and the leader then iloscd with a general discussion of the lesson.

The 2 or 15 students that make up this class are greatly interested in it and it has proved of benefit to them in their study of Spanish. It is hoped that in the future a more widespread interest will le shown in this class by those students interested in Spanish.

Announcement is made that the club expects to occupy a hall in Louisiana as soon as the furnishing is completed. This club brings the total number of fraternities, local and national, to 10.

Of this number, six are nationals, two expect to have their national charters within a short time, while the remaining two locals are petitioning national organizations. The percentage of students of Davidson in fraternities will receive an impetus by this increase in the number of groups on the hill. Dear Uncle Hud, I am afraid that my papa will he shocked when he gets my review grades. What can I do? Tom Hakcr. Dear Jlrassic, You should have wired him.

Uncle Hud. Dear Uncle Buddie, How would you personify Faith, Hope, and Charity? p. Martin. Dear Piggy, Faith Watt McCain when he believed it all when his girl called him up and said that was sick and that she couldn't come. He sent a box of flowers, too.

Hope Okey Allison; he still believes that he'll get a girl. Charity Bill Murray; when in Charlotte, he suggested that he and his girl go home on the street car. Your Unk. Dear Question Box, I'm going to learn how to be a good musician and compose popular songs like Watt McCain. I have a good start as I can play the bass drum by myself now.

What songs would you suggest that I play in my orchestra Yours very truly, David Woodrow Wilson. Dear Boy, I should suggest that you play some of the latest hits, such as "Oils Well That Ends Well," by Dough-heny, or "Those Balloon Tires Have Us Up In the Air." If these are too modernistic you might recourse to the old ballad entitled "Slap on the Paint," by Sherwin Williams. The Question Box. Dear Uncle Bud, I am now taking medicine; do you think that it a good course J. H.

(Cash) Register. Dear Hard Cash, Yes. Hope you get well. The Old Man. Dear Uncle Bud, For a long time I haven't been able to get me a girl and as a result, I am kinda timid around the Shebas.

Don't you think that I need to get some kind of a nice sweet girl who will let me have my own way? Samuel Summers. Dear Sam, What you need is to hook up with one of these nice responsible matrimonial bureaus out west. They will send you all kinds of literature and you can pick out a nice widow with two or three children, who has several thousand dollars and needs a nice trusting support to spend it for her. Half a loaf is better than no bread. Uncle Bud My Dear Unkie Buddie, My girl and I were out walking the other afternoon and she asked me if I wanted to see where she was vaccinated.

I kinda blushed and said, "No." Would it have been wrong if I had said "Yes?" Dick Little.iohn. Dear Dickie Bird If you had said, "Yes," she probably would have showed you the hospital. You can't tell about girls these days. Uncle Budveiser.f SOME CHANGE NECESSARY IN CHRISTIAN RELIGION The Ministerial Band met last Sunday afternoon with a large crowd in spite of the inclemency of the weather and the absence of many members in Charlotte. The president of the band, J.

L. McLean, took charge of the meeting and introduced Dr. Robert F. Fitch who addressed the band. Dr.

Fitch spoke of the difficulties and conditions that the minister would meet in his work at the present-day situation. "The Christian Religion," he said, "is being questioned more today than ever before and some change will take place before long either for good or for evil." He then took up the conditions and problems that would confront the minister in China. He said that a missionary must understand China before he can be of any good to the souls of that 1'eople. He explained the different religions of China and stated that although most of the religions there are of great barm to the people tbat some had been of benefit. He cited instances where heathen religions have done much for the home life of the Chinese.

The Chinese are loyal to their religion and he advised that missionaries start the Christian religion on the good already established by those different religions. Lionel Barr.ymore, m.The Eternal City Here Saturday The screen attraction for this week is "The Eternal City," with Barbara La Marr, Lionel Barrymorc, Bert Lytell, Montagu Love and Richard Bennett. The picture is presented by Samuel Goldwyn and is produced by First National. The above is truly an all-star cast and the director is George Fitzmaurice, who was for some years one of the most successful producers for the Famous Players Lasky Corporation. "The Eternal City" is an adaptation of the novel by Sir Hall Caine of the same name.

It received unanimous praise from the New York newspaper reviewers on its opening at the Strand Theatre. The enthusiasm of the critics apparently knew no bounds in their praising of the rich beauty of the scenes and the masterful handling of the theme. This picture surpasses anything that has ever been produced with Rome as its locale. One cannot sec this picture without being especially attracted by the scenic effects, and he is overwhelmed by "the grandurc that was Rome." As to the theme of the "Eternal City," it is sufficient to say that it is an adaptation of the novel by Hall Caine. For those who have seen some of his other stories on the screen and those who have read some of his works know that he deals with life as it is, and yet is not devoid of a certain touch of the idealistic which takes away some of the sordidness of the realistic story.

The "Eternal City" will be shown at the Y. M. C. A. Theatre Saturday night at 7:15.

The admission will be 25 cents. The management requests that as many as possible of the students bring chairs. QUIPS AND CRANKS (Continued from page 1) View Section," containing numerous halftone photographs of the spots on the campus. The editorial staff, headed by D. J.
