Saturday, January 14, 1939 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN :- ALONG W. C. T. C. SPORT FRONT -: Catamounts Express Hope For Good Team Cage Practice Begins At W.C.T.C. Sam Ardrey: "We will, with one or two exceptions, have an in-experienced team, but it will be fast, and I think we are due to give somebody a surprise before the season is Charles Tomerlin: "According to talk, we are not supposed to have much of a team, but I think we may fool them. I know we have a scrappy squad." Shelby Robertson: "We do not have very much experience, but there some very good prospects, and I think we will win a majority of our games. Woodrow Pryor: "We will ha\fe small team, but I think it will be fighting one." Sam Pryor: "The team has never played together before, but I think it can be molded into a winning combination." Odell Griffin: "We have an inexperienced, but fast team, and I think we should win most of our games." Lyndon White: "For a team composed of small and inexperienced men, I think we will have a fine team before the end of the season." Horace Meredith: "We have a tough schedule, but I think that we will win most of our games, and 1 know every man will be in there trying." David Meredith: "I think we have lots of good material, and I hope it will develop into a fine team." Earl Ellis: "According to dope, we will not be very strong, but I think with the material we have, we should fool some of the stronger teams." Joe Higdon: "I think we will have a good team although small and inexperienced. I know we will have a fighting team." D. W. Harrison, Manager: "Due to lack of experience and the tough schedule we are playing, the team will have a hard grind, but I think it can be made into a very strong team and a good season is expected. Basketball practice has been going forward at Western Carolina for the past week, and the boys are fast rounding into shape. Prospects are bright for a fast team, although muc i of the material is small, and only Sam Ardrey and Horace Meredith of the lettermen are back from last year's team. It is regretable that the new Gymnasium is not ready for play, but since this cannot be helped, the boys are making the best of it by practicing on the flopr at Sylva. Western Carolina has a very hard schedule this year and will meet some of the best teams in the state. The schedule, through January 31, is as fol- January 7, Webster, Home. January 13, High Point, Home. January 16, Appalachian, Home. January 19, Enka, Away. January 21, Mars Hill, Home. January 26, Catawba, Away. January 27, E. C. T. C, Away. January 30, Guilford, Away. January 31, Elon, Away. They Star for College Basketball Teams From Coast to Coast SPEAKING OF "YOU-ALL" By Charles R. Holloman. Duke Loses In Rose Bowl Tiltl Last Forty Seconds Of Game Prove Undoing For Strong North Carolina Team The prevailing ignorance or misun -derttanding on the part of Northern ers and Westerners as to the Southerner's use of "you-all" has resulted in a number of noted Southerners derstanding the rather hopeless task of enlightening such groups as to the proper use of the picturesque term We think we never saw a more worthy effort toward enlightenment than the following poem, written by a Southern lady whose name we are unable to rember. We do remember, however, that she moved to the North just after the War Between the States. The poem was written and distributed among her friends there for its informational value. "YOU-ALL" "Come all of you from other parts, Both city folks and rural, And listen while I tell you this: The word 'you-all' is plural. \ "When we say, 'you-all must come Or we-all shall be lonely,' We mean a dozen folks, perhaps, And not one person only. "If I should say to Hiram Jones For instance, 'You-all's lazy,' Or, 'Will you-all lend me your knife?' He'd think that I was crazy. "Now if you'd be more sociable And with us often mingle, You'd find that on the native tongue, 'You-all' is never single. I "Don't think I mean to criticize, Or act as if I knew all; But—when we speak of one alone, We-all say 'you' like you-all." Duke University, the first team from North Carolina to play in California's Rose Bowl, lost a heartbreaking game to the University of Southern California there on January second in the last forty seconds of play. The first three periods of the game were played on equal terms, both teams displaying a fine brand of football. In the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, Tony "two play ' Ruffa stood on the twenty-five yard line and booted a perfect field goal to put Duke out in front three to noth ing. It looked as if this was enough to win, but with only one minute to play, Duke was forced to punt and California's safety man took the ball on the thirty-nine yard line. In ten straight plays, U. S. C. scored, th marker coming on a pass, Nave to Kreuger, who was standing in end zone. The conversion was good and U. S. C. led seven to three and this is the way the game ended. It was a hard blow to Duke and the many fans pulling for a Duke victory. Prospective "Cats" Should Hold Own Gene Anderson of Purdue is rated by coaches everywhere as one of the outstanding pivot men in the United States. Chuck Chuckovits of Toledo, forward on the Rockets' squad, is one of the highest-scoring stars in the nation. With Sam Ardrey, a neucleus round which to build, Western Caro- ina should have a good basketball earn this season. Most of the boys re small for college play, but they re all fast, and when they get some xperience playing as a team, they hould show up well. Some of the small ioys who are exceptionally fast and hould win varsity births are: Wood- ow Pryor, a new comer from Chim- ley Rock, N. C, with lots of high ichool experience behind him; Odell }riffin, hailing from Edneyville, N. C, t smooth floor man and a good shot; Earl Ellis, from Asheville, N. C. Having played Junior College ball, Ellis should make a good man; David Meredith, from Guilford, N. C. David is small, but he is fast and fights all the time. With a little experience he should develop into a fine player. Then there is Lyndon White—not a new man on the campus, but new on the basketball squad. He is looking mighty good in practice and a lot is expected of him before the season is over. Besides the boys already mentioned, there are Sam Pryor, Horace Meredith, Joe Higdon, Charles Tomerlin, and Shelby Robertson. All these boys are fast and most of them have had some experience. With all this material, prospects look pretty good for a successful season. It will take a lot of smoothing and polishing, but Western Carolina should have a team this season well able to hold its own in North State competition. Wilmeth Sidat-Singh, forward- passing star of the Syracuse football team, plays forward for the Orange cage squad. * We quote another notworthy explanation from "We Who Speak English" by Dean C. A. Lloyd, of Bilt- more Junior College, Asheville, North Carolina. Dean Lloyd states: "But the most striking characteristic of Southrn speech is the use of 'you-alF as the plural form of 'you' whenever it is desired to make it clear that more than one person referred to. It distinguishes the Southerner from the non-Southerner with much more accuracy than the Mason and Dixon Line, for except the most remote mountain districts— there 'you-uns' is substituted—it i the instinctive custom of every na tive Southerner, white or black, illiterate or highly educated, cultured or uncultured, and the expression is not so used anywhere else in the English-speaking world except where it has been carried by Southerners. The usage is one of the most amazing linguistic phenomena and at the same time one of the most misunderstood. "Non-Southerners—many of them, at least—have aquired the grotesque notion that 'you-all' is the South to refer to one person or more than one indiscriminately.

They never seem to have a quarrel. From what I can hear, Buck Hunt and Mack Feaster had bed time called on them at the home of a certain blond and brunette the other night. How about giving the old man a little present once in a while, boys? Ruth wants to go to the show. A certain baseball star wants to stay in the library; so they compromise and stay in the library.

Teachers College have again lived up to the tradition of giving the "Hallelujah Chorus' from Handel's Messiah each year. We are proud of this custom and hope that he college will never lose it. In a recent issue of The Etude Florence Smith says: "No story of carols would be complete without mention of Handel's oratorio, Messiah. This is a carol of airs, recitations, trios, and choruses. It is founded upon scriptural tive; and it is performed without scenery or action, "The words for the Messiah are taken from the Holy Scriptures. Handel was born in Halle, Germany, at the close of the seventeenth tury. His father was a doctor of medicine and an excellent surgeon; but he had little appreciation of music. He did not want his son to be a musician; he wanted him to become a lawyer. ''George Frederick Handel was bound to be a musician. His father gave in; he secured for the boy the best teacher he could find, and pres ently he became proud of his young alyzed. His funds mind turned to deeper things of life, genius and a beautiful He said, 'I am not going to do any more composing in the field of opera. My endeavors shal be spent field of oratorio; for sacred music is best suited to at descending into the vale of years!' ''In this field Handel gave to the rid the finest of its kind. He brought iself enduring fame. 'He commenced this immortal oratorio Messiah, August 22, 1741 and the first part was completed o August 28; the second part Septem ber 6; and and third part, September 12. The instrumentation was finished by September 15th; so that, in al, it took just twenty-four days to complete it. "It was performed for the first time, on April 12, 1742, in the Music Hall, Fishamble Street, Dublin, Ire land. This was for the benefit o: the society for relieving prisoners, th itable, Infirmary, and Mercer' hospital. Handel at that time was visiting in Ireland. From there i; was taken to England, and the following March of 1743 it was given for the first time there at Covent Garden Theater. Since 1750 it has been performed annually in England the Chapel of the Foundling hos- table with both Hal Plonk an 11 pital for the benefit of charity.

They remained standing until the chorus had ended. That is why today, when ever this great chorus is presented, people stand. A worthy and a noble act. Then the very last part of the | Messiah is 'magnificence personified ' it is the final Amen; "To-night, as in years past, from our proud cathedrals, from our little hamlets , and from over the air, will float the strains of this great oratorio. Its message is in the word of God; and its music was inspired by God and brought to us through Handel. We may well be glad that Handel' father did not make a lawyer out of his son; for he was born to become a blessing to the world through the avenue of music. The characteristic qualities of his music are simplicity and grandeur; and his music is truly inspired and noble."
