Outclassed in Batting and Field-
Carolina defeated Wake Forest
College 6 to I here this afternoon
in a game that was interesting
despite the ' onesidedness which
the score assumed. Lee held the
Baptists almost hitless, while
four singles and a like number of
bunched in three innings gave
Carolina four runs. The other
two were secured in the sixth on
a couple of passes to Whittaker
and Lee, two errors, made by
Billings on one play, and a single
by Irby. Lee came within an
ace of repeating the feat he per
formed here last year, of beating
Wake Forest without a hit, hold
ing them hitless until the seventh
inning, when Beam placed a neat
single back of first. Swink, with
two doubles and a single and
Edwards with a single and two
sacker, both of which counted in
the run-making, led the hitting.
Irby also hit and fielded well.
Utley, of Wake Forest, played a
clean first, and Bailej of Carolina,
covered a lot of ground around
second. Irby started the ball for
Carolina in the first round, with
single through short, which
Swink followed with his first
double. With two gone in the
fifth, Hanes doubled to centre
and Edwards placed a drive to
right that should have been good
for three bags. Irby followed
with a single which proved the
last of Underwood. With Smith
on the mound, Swink also singled
but Page forced him. Whittaker
and Lee walked in the sixth.
Hanes hit to Billings, who fum
bled and thenth rew wild to third,
allowing Hanes to reach second
and Whittaker to score. Edwards
hit scored Lee. In the seventh
Swink placed his second long
double to left, which followed by
Page's sacrifice and Young's
single added one more to Caro
lina's tally.
The Observer this afternoon
says: "It is astonishing to see
the crowds who came in on the
trains this morning to witness
the baseball game and take in
'Buster Brown' at LaFayette
Theatre. We verily believe that
if the roads had been passable for
automobiles' a record breaking
crowd would have visited Fayette
ville today."

Brainy Men of 1912 No Match for the All
Round Playing Ability of the
Gentle Sophomore
The seniors started off well,
scoring in the first inning. Con-
fideutly they scampered to their
positions and promptly shutout
the sophs. But the sophs, with
the reputation of having shot up
the town in western style, were
nothing daunted by a bunch of
seniors all of whom were not even
clad in baseball suits. They
showed the fans who thought
Thad Reece had good stuff that
all he had was a senior hat. For
the sophs gripped their bats hard,
slugged, and shot a fusilade of
balls at the fielders. Cline, left
fielder, made a mighty ef
fort to stem the tide by rushing
under a long fly which he would
probably have caught had he
not missed it. Meanwhile run
ners crossed the plate. Darden
would go to bat, swing, and
light out, with Burke, Long,
Allen, and the rest in hot pursuit.
They ran all the afternoon with
out getting Darden's tag. Win
ston and llendrix rushed in the
breach, but the gulf swallowed
them up as it had Reece. The
seniors have a splendid chance of
taking the championship in
mumble peg. A senior remarked
that he didn't think a little prac
tice would hurt the team. No,
nothing would.

ml perry writes again
In Further Criticism of the; Editor's Attitude
Toward the Sophomore Class in Regard
to the Recent Shooting
The editor will please pardon
me for imposing on his good na
ture in asking for ipace for my
farewell address, and the public
will please be patient. I tried to
refrain from a repjy, but I had
no peace; I laid aside my tablet
twice, but I could not rest; and a
third time'Itake itfupand write.
I believe in justice and
righteousness, in rendering to
Ceasar the things fthat are due
Ceasar, in rendering to God the
things that are duqGod, in ren
dering to Satan thf things that
are due Satan wlleii they are
past redemption, in rendering to
the sophomores th things that
are due the sophomores, and in
rendering to the editor the things
that are due the editor.
"The editor stilj holds to his
views expressed last week". It
is a difficult task th convince a
man of anything against his will
(myself not excepted), and I like
to see a man who has convictions
of his own and will stand by them
till he is convinced that they are
wrong. Now, if the faculty and
Student Council shares the views
of the editor, let them summon
each member -of.tLc-Sophomore
class before the proper tribunal
to give an account of his conduct
and clear himself of this stigma
or suffer the penalty for it, and
perhaps some of them will turn a
hand to help discover the guilty
ones. There are lots of us that
are ready to come up and render
an account of ourselves. Be
cause "certain members of the
class have dishonored the class"
is not saying that the class as a
whole, or every member of it is
responsible for the dishonor. The
Sophomore class as a whole and
every member of it is responsible
for its good name in the Univer
sity and for the good name of the
University in so far as each in
dividual member's conduct reflects
credit upon himself, his class,
and his University, and the influ
ence it has for good or evil among
his fellow students. r
If our worthy editor is bubbling
over with a superabundant desire
to protect the fair name of the
University and may it shine
with a dustre far greater than it
ever has in the past, why does
he condone the lesser evil and
condemn the greater and not
rather condemn both? So sure
-
as a
lesser evil is condoned, a
greaterevil will follow as aresult.
If his motive was patriotism to
the University and not to cast a
slur on the Sophomore class, why
did he not place the responsibility
in the beginning where it be
longed and not try to hurl
calumny upon both the guilty
and the innocent alike. Let him
attack crime and lawlessness with
all his might, hit it hard, wipe it
out, and he will have wrested the
weapon from the hand of the
enemy who is abroad fighting the
University.
And why has the Sophomore
class become indignant at the crit
icisms of this one mightv mighty
of invective at the University?

VARSITYDEBATERS CHOSEN
For the Tulane Contest. Judges Select L. L
McLendon, of theDi, and C K. Bur
gess, of the Phi.
The preliminary contest for
places on the team to debate
against Tulane' University took
place last Friday night. The
men who entered were: L. L.
McLendon, Thad Reece, P. H.
Gwynnv R. L. Van Pool, and J.
C. Lockhart from the Dialectic
Society; C. K. Burgess from" the
Philanthropic Society. The
query for the debate is: "Re
solved, that all Corporations Do
ing an Inter-State Commerce
Business Should be Chartered
and Regulated by a Federal Com
mission." Carolina defends the
affirmative against Tulane. The
judges were Dr. Raper, Dr. Wag
staff, and Prof. Stacy.
' The places on the team were
hotly contested by all the men.
Some good speeches were made.
The judges chose L. L. McLen
don and C. K. Burgess for the
team. Neither of these men has
represented Carolina in an inter
collegiate debate. Burgess, how
ever, represented the Phi Society,
in the inter-society debate last
commencement.
The preliminary for the Van
derbilt debate will take place
Wednesday night. The same
question will be used in this de
bate. Carolina will have the
negative against Vanderbilt.
BIG FIELD DAY
NEXT SATURDAY
Next Saturday is Field Day. At
3:30 p.m.the contest for the inter
class championship in track and
field events will take place. A
silver cup will be given to the
class winning the most points.
Prizes will also be given to win
ners in each event, and to second
place men where the contests are
close.
This Field Day promises to be
one of the biggest inter-collegiate
athletic events of the college
year. For sometime a number of
men from all the academic classes
have been training on the track
under Nat. J. Cartmell's vigorous
coaching. Somcexcellant materi
al has been developed, and as a
result every event will be closely
contested. Plenty of excitement
in the way of sprinting, jumping,
vaulting, and distance running
will be given.
At the present it apoears that
the closest fight will be between
the representatives of the fresh
men and sophomore classes. This
of itself assures a lively time.
The two upper classes have not
been idle, however. They are
both prepared to put up a game
fight. All wearers of the track
monogram are ruled out. Mem
bers of the Varsity squad who
have not won their letter will,
however, be allowed to compete.
The prizes, aside from the
championship cup, are worth
striving for. They have been
given by the merchants of the
town and other firms doing busi
ness with the students.

ing of the Association
Tuesday Night
REPORTS FROM RETIRING OFFICERS HEARD

Since it was" the last night of
service of the retiring officers a
report of the past year's work was
made by them. Mr. C. W. John,
son who had charge of Bible
Study department reported that
124 men had been enrolled, of
these 111 attended. The average
number who attended was 82, the
average attendance 57. The
prospects for next year were re
ported to be very hopeful since a
large number of leaders have
been well trained. ;
Mr. C. E. Norman, chairman
of the Missionary department re
ported that a twenty-five dollar
deficit in the Barnet fund of last
year had heen paid and that six
dollars above the usual five hun
dred dollars had been suscribed
for this year. Also 140 men were
enrolled in the three Mission
study courses. r
Mr. F. B. Drane who has
charge of the religious meetings
reported that the average atten
dance at the Tuesday night
lectures had been 76, and for the
Thursday night prayer meetings
15. He said that the late prac
tice of having meetings in series
had considerably improved the
attendance. A new series will be
begun shortly on 4 'Great Reforms
and Reformers" in which the Re
formers, Martin Luther, John
Calvin, John Wesley, and others
with their work will be studied.
The membership department
reported that 240 men had joined
the association. Of these 50 were
seniors, 43 were juniors, 24 were
sophomores, 94 were freshmen,
and the remainder professional
students.
Following this report, the new
president took charge of the
meeting and accepted his office
not as an honor but as an oppor
tunity fordoing Christian service,
