"CATB|RD'S" TOKEN
GOT TITLE FOR N. c.
Now Carolina Basket Ball
Star Carries Gift to South
ern Meet.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., February "a
Basket ball teams that have represent
ed the University of North Carolina on
the hardwood court during the last six
years have paid tribute to the god of
superstition.
During those six years the Tarheels
have won four Southern Conference
| titles and had been runners-up on the
other two occasions. This year, with a
clean slate in their own State and with
victories over every Southern Confer
ence team met, they again take high
rank.
Probably nobody realizes better than
the members Of the Tarheel quint that
it takes real basket ball ability to win
games, but one cannot honestly gainsay
the fact that they do believe in the
efficacy of signs and tokens.
The Tarheels are In Atlanta again in
quest of a fifth Southern title and as
in the past. they have taken old man
superstition along with them. Which
means that they will ride to each game
in the same car, with each player oc-
cupying the same seat on each such
trip; that they will pray before entering
each game, and do numerous and
sundry other things that are calculated
to court Dame Fortune.
In keeping with this superstition, Big
Bill Dodderer. three times all-Southern
and once captain OF a Southern cham
pionship team. has carried his now
famous "old rusty hairpin" to Atlanta.
Perhaps hairpins went out of style
when bobbed hair came in. but this
little rusted wire-according to the
story-won Southern Conference
championship in 1926.
Hairpin That Won a Title.
Upon that hairpin there hangs a
story, and withal story that bears
the earmarks Of truth. 1t Is story
that spins the thread OF its narrative
all the way from the athletic fields Of
old Princeton to the sun-scorched
jungles Of Central America, and from
the far flung fronts of the allied armies
during the World War TO the eleventh
floor OF the Hotel Ansley in Atlanta
The pin itself is just simple little
affair that once served some lady in
good stead, and when she lost it she
never knew the fame 1t would some
time attain in winning Southern title
for the Tarheels. But did 1t win the
title? Bill Dodderer ard the other Tar
heels will tell you it did!
After a none-too-impressive showing
of the 1925 tournament, the Tarheels
were far from enthusiastic over their
chances against Ole Miss" In the semi
finals on Monday. And there Is where
Nelson Poe II came on the stage.
One Of Poes Of Princeton.
The Tarheels were gathered In room
ll20 Of the Arsley and all agreed that
II good fortune was with them and they
could whip "Ole Miss" then the title
was theirs. At that moment a knock
was heard at the door. and upon an
invitation to enter wandering con-
vivial spirit slipped in and collapsed
upon a chair An insistent demand for
ice water followed. The water was fur
nished.
I'm the last Of the Poe boys" he
said without waiting to be asked. I'm
a damned good boy. In fact I'm cat
bird. and all four of us Poe boys was
catbirds. You see there were four of

JAMES FRAZIER BADLY INJURED
IN AUTO WRECK NEAR NOCALES

James Frazier, 48 years of age,
prominent resident of the Elgin
district, brother" of I. P. Frazier
and Charles Frazier of the Shelby
Service Station, was seriously in
iured in an automobile accident
at II o'clock Wednesday night
eleven miles north of Nogales
on the Patagonia highway.
The accident happened on a
curve at the foot of a steep hill
while FRAZIER, accompanied by two
carpenters, was enroute to Hua-
chuca from a trip to Nogales
where he had come to get a num-
Der of carpenters for work on the
buildings at the annual state Ma
tional Guard encampment which
opens Sunday at Huachuca. Frai-
zer's two companions were injured
but not as seriously as Frazier.
Frazier was driving the large
state Cadillac car used by Col.
Charles w. Harris, of Phoenix, ad-
jutant-general of Arizona, who
had sent him here from Fort Hua-
chuca to employ some carpenters.
The car is said to have had very
poor lights and this is believed to
have caused Frazier to round the
curve at too high rate of speed.
Some soldiers came along a
short time after the wreck, found
the car turned over, the men un-
derneath, and after releasing the
victims, hurried them to the Hua-
chuca hospital.

FRANCE PLANS

Paris, Aug. 9. (U.P.)-France's

of the past have their last resting
place in the crypt Of the Pan
theon. Her marshals and prin-
cipal generals of the World War

dome Of the Invalides, forming a
sacred guard of honor for the
greatest of French soldiers, Ma
poleon.
The proposal was at first re
ceived coldly, some scenting in it
an effort to revive imperialism.
Investigation has shown, how
ever, that the idea emanated from
quarters that could not be ac-
cused of any royalist tendencies,
and there is now little doubt that
Parliament will adopt the project
as approved by the Senate's Mill
tary Commission.
The budget for next year un-
doubtedly will provide funds for
the reconstruction of the. lower
walls surrounding the tomb of
Napoleon. There is room for
thirty tombs.
