Club Offers Its Assist
ance Anril 24 and 25 are the dates
set for Chapel Hill ito don the
dress of Elizabethan England
.'ami, instead of being just a small
North Carolina , town, to appear
I , a village in which will he re
flected some of the romance, cus
imns and life of the days of
Oueeu Bess. .'..
Chapel Hill is a real village-
it combination of community life
with surroundings half-rural
and Chapel Hill is probably the
only place in North Carolina ot
tin's type. It is a place admirab
ly suited by nature for the .pre
sentation of scenes of an age
when Morris dancers 'and May
pole crowdsdrewpeople from hom
es merry making on the greens of
the English villages. There could
hardly be found a better place
than the campus of the Univer
sity for the presentation of danc
es and scenes of Elizabethan life.
The principal business of act,
ing. or the interpretation of the
scciies.-elected from Shakespeare's
.plays will naturally fall to the
students. FalstalT, Prince Hal,
and. .their tavern companions,
IlvMnlet, Prospero, -Touchstone
and Audrey are the principal
characters in the selected scenes;
hut there are other parts of less
significance, such as the players
of "Py ramus and Thisbe" iroin
the "Midsummer Night's Dream,"
loafers in the tavern (Henry IV),
and also as many properly cos
tumed persons as can be obtained
to appear in tne various scenes.
Valuable assistance in making
the Shakespearean celebration
successful will also be rendered
. by the Chapel Hill Community
Club. The question of proper
costuming:, which is a very seri
ous question in the undertaking,
will be partly solved by the aid
of the ladies of the Community
Club. Members of the club are
also attending to the musical part
of the program,

The effective,
the scenes pre-
sen ted will be 'greatly increased
by the introduction of various
dances. The rural merry-making
scene, based on "A Winter's
Tale" IV, 4, will contain a Mor
ris dance, May-pole dances, and
children's dances. The Commu
nity Club is also securing the best
vocal talent possible to render the
various lyrics that occur in the
scenes. '

Carolina scored easily in the
lirst iiuning but was unable to
prove dangerous aiterwants ex
cept in the eighth when Barns
swatted a homer between left and

her runs in the fifth and the other
two in the sixih.

ol Barnes' home run was practi
cally featureless. Carolina, how-
ever, discovered iwo new stars in
Pippin who came in with some
good hits when they were needed
and in Massey who hit well and
did some pretty base. running and
fielding. Both teams were neck
and neck in every department of
the game except base running- in
which Carolina easily excelled
her opponents.
In the first inning when Caro
lina's lead-off man, Massey, came
in home on Pippin's two-bagger,
a University victory seemed sure.
The score remained one to noth
ing for Carolina until Oak Ridge's
half of the fifth.
Then with one out Wrenn sin-
filed to right. Truelove hit a
to Cuthrell who threw
to second trying tor a douoie.
Massey dropped the ball and both
were safe. Both advanced a base
when Cuthrell threw to second to
catch Wrenn napping and Roy
ster missed the ball. Richardson
was out, pitcher to first. Then
Barnes singled by third and
scored Wrenn.
In the sixth inning Oak Ridge
put across two more runs and won
the game. Coble, first up, was
out on a pop fly. Mayberry sin
gled over second. Mayberry went
to second on Hart's error, Huff
man drew a pass; Mayberry went
to third. Mayberry scored when
a moment later Hart let one of
Cuthrell'K shoots escape Ti l m.
Huffman went to third and scored
later on Cuthrell's wild pitch.
Carolina rallied desperately in
the last of the ninth. Three pinch
bitters were put in. Lewellyn
RABY TENNENT IS CAPTAIN
nent has played a consistent star
game at right guard for three
years and has now been chosen to
lead the team in his fourth year.
The class of '17 isf peculiarly
gifted in the art of basketball.
The varsity team of their fresh
man year is practically the same
team as now. Johnson, Tandy,
Tennent and Andrews secured a
place on the team at the very
start and have successfully held
it three years. Davis made his
letter in his Sophomore year and
has played good ball this season.
The class of '17 would probably
have boasted of ever)7 man on the
team frtm their class next year,
if Andrews had not withdrawn
from college at the end ot the
fall term.
Johnson and Tennent, both of
this class will have the distinc
tion of not only making the team
for four years but also of leading
ht a season apiece

Fire at Mayor Robinson's
The placid calm of campus
life was smashed to pieces early
Wednesday afternoon when the
Chapel Hill fire department was
called out to extinguish a blaze
that had been discovered in the
roof of Mayor Robinson's house.
The big truck created no little
excitement as it tore down the
street, swerved around "busy cor
ner," and slowed down in true
municipal form before the scene
of the disaster. The hose was
immediately connected to a near
by hydrant and the work of the
rescuing crew was on. Head chief
Herndon wielded the nozzle while
Roy Homewood with his bucket
brigade administered aqua pura
to the flames. By hard and per
sistent fighting some headway
was soon made and in due season
the flames gave up and the Chap
el Hill Fire Department as well as
its entire municipal corps was
king of the day. The danger
from the fire was, however, re
placed by the danger of a flood,
for nobody could turn off the
hose. Somebody finally had to
make a trip to the hydrant and
cut off the flow there.
The damage wrought by the sh0wed especially when he was
conflagration to the Carraway- young man. Whe the Geolog -Robinson
Corporation estimated cal Survey was in danger of b
