Lads in Second Half and Pile Up a Neat Score The annual basketball finals were taken this year by Winston Salem in a game in Avhich they completely outclassed the team from Durham, the eastern cham pions.' The game for the first per iod was close and interesting, and it seemed for a while that the two teams were pretty evenly matched. Early in the second half, however, the boys from the Twin City got busy and left the Durham quint far in the rear. The final score of 37 to 20 fails to show the mar gin of playing ability Winston had on Durham. " At no stage of the game did the Bull City boys have a chance for first honors. While they were by far the best in the east their lack of shooting ability and aggressiveness showed in the contest with the clever western western team. Billy Carmichael, who had a bad foot, and was far from his usual form, shot the first goal from the middle of the floor. Fast floor work and a hard shot put Winston .beside Durham. Hancock soon added another tally by a short shot from the side. Winston kept the lead thus gained and was never in danger of being overtaken. Few fouls were called, most of them be ing on Winston. White's skill from the foul line kept Durham in the running. Durham caged only three goals in the first period. In the second half both sides played much cleaner ball. The Durham quint seemed to have com pletely lost their team-work.

Dartmouth War Referendum College Paper Institutes Questionaire to Find Out How Students Stand in National Crisis Hanover, March 6 Dartmouth students are telling where they stand in the present national crisis. They are answering a question naire instituted by the The Dart mouth, tho college newspaper. The following - "vital questions" are asked: In view of the existing interna tional situation, is it your opinion that the United States is justified in formally declaring war? In view of the existing interna tional situation, is it your opinion that the United States should formally declare war ? Do you believe that the people of the United States should be consulted by referendum before' Congress declares war except in case of threatened invasion ? As long as there is no declara tion of war are you in favor of having the Government merely take measures to protect American neutrality rights on the sea ? Do you favor, in general, the policies to date of President Wil son concerning the international situation ? If war were declared, under the present circumstances, and volun teers from Dartmouth were called for, is it probable that you would enlist ?

Carr Fellowship is Awarded Award was made Saturday of the Carr Fellowship, endowed by Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, to J. B. Linker, of Salisbury, and A.. M. Coates, of Smithheld, both members of the Junior class. This is probably the most important, and certainly the most valuable prize given by the University of North Carolina. . The award for 1917-18 is the first one to be made. The fellowship as a gift rom Gen eral Carr was announced at the alumni banquet last commence ment, and it carries with it $300 per annum. The Carr fellowship is given to that student who has earned a con siderable portion of his expenses during his first years in college, and Avhose excellence in scholar ship, interest in college affairs and manly character give highest prom ise of distinction in alter liie. There were in all 2G men who qualified under the conditions and applied for the fellowship. Such was the merit of the applicants, according to the members ot the committee, that great difficulty was experienced m making the de cision. For that reason it was de cided this year to divide the fel- owship and give half to each of lie Juniors above mentioned. The committee making the award con- D?ata nf Dnnn M. H. Stacv. Prof. W. D.

CITY BANK FELLOWSHIP AWARDED CAROLINA MEN The University of North Caro lina Committee on the National City Bank fellowships has an nounced the v, timers of the fel lowships for 1917: Elliott Cooper, of the junior class, of Oxford, and Robert de Rossett, of the junior class, of Wilmington, with Wil liam Grimes, of Raleigh, and Robert Foster, Jr., of Asheville, of the sophomore class, as alter nates. These fellowships are awarded to the University of North Caro lina as one of the seventeen uni versities of the country that have been put on the cooperative plan of training for foreign service by the National City Bank, of New York. Tulane is the only other Southern University awarded scholarships. The bank and the University believe that there is a career for young Americans in the future foreign trade relations of the United States of unlimited pos sibilities. They have set them selves, therefore, to the task of jointly preparing young men of character, versatility, and persis tence to do this work on a big scale. The plan is a laboratory fellow ship in practical banking. Under graduates spend their summer va cation in the bank, where they ac quire a working knowledge of banking routine and organization. This is coupled with language practice and class work, amounting to twelve hours a week. This work is of such nature that the co operating universities are granting some college credit to those stu dents who have successfully passed the Bank's examination at t the termination of the courses. The men are chosen on the basis of their character, personality, scholarship, practical experience, and knowledge of languages. Mr. James Harrison and Mr. T. C. Boushall, of Raleigh, are Carolina (Continued on Page Six) CAROLINA, 4 BINGHAM MEBANE, 3 IN FIRST BASEBALL GAME OF SEASON Visitors Unable to Score Run for Eight Innings But Threaten in Ninth Classes Working for Athletic Trophy Cup The brief interruption to class athletics, in the form of Spring football, having been removed, the crack of the bat and the thud of the catcher's mitt, together with the sound of scattering cinders, now proclaim again the intention of more than one class to win the trophy cup. A meeting of the class man agers will be held at the first of the week for the purpose of mak ing out a baseball schedule. In all probability, the first game will be played in the latter part of next week. .' Each class is to play two games against every other class and the respective standings will be de termined on a regular percentage basis as in regular leagues. As matters now stand the sophomores are in the lead with three points to their credit, as a result of the basket ball series. There is some doubt as to which class holds sec ond place since the seniors had to borrow men to play their match game with the freshmen. Whether or not the victory of the seniors is to be valid will be decided at the next meeting of the eommite. Ho w ever that may be, the lead gained by the Sophomores can be tied and passed by the class that throws itself heartily into the events yet (Continued on Page Six) A Remedy Submitted For Class Dues Evil Some interesting facts with re gard to the payment of class dues were Drought out by H. D. Sharpe in his talk in Chapel, Thursday morning. He showed that less than one half the class dues levied are ever actually collected, and that from one third to one half the 'membership of each class bears the whole financial burden. As an example, he took the rec ord of the ' present Senior class, In the fall of 1913, 300 men en tered the University in the class of 1917, and for that year the total class assessment was $1.50. But during that year only one man in three paid the assess ment, and instead of collecting $450, there was only $150 turned into the class treasury. In the Sophomore year the class of 1917 numbered 160 men, and the assessment was 2 dollars. But instead of receiving $320 dollars, the treasurer got only $150. In the Junior year the membership was 123 and the assessment was $1.50, but only $97 was collected. During the three years the assess ments thus amounted to $954.50, but of this amount only $397 was actually put in the class treasury. Likewise, the present J unior class entered with 278 men, and of the $347 assessed in the fresh man year, only $125 was paid. In the Sophomore year there were (Continued on Page Three) TAR HEELS SHOW UP BIG LEAGUE FORM AT START LEWELLYN AND BENNETT KEEP HUSKY MEBANITES GUESSING Jupiter . Pluvius called a halt and the sun got in a few licks last Thursday, when Carolina took the first game of the season from Bing ham, of Mebane, by a 4 to 3 score. From the looks of the things for a few days before the game, most people thought it would be a track for mud-horses. Agreeable sur prises are never frowned upon, however, and the band was there, and everything was lovely. The team had a little trouble getting settled down at first, and a few balls went astray. Llewellyn who occupied the place of honor on the mound, then went steadily to work and the rest of the team soon got behind him. It waa a pitchers' battle from the beginning until late in the game. Bingham got a man on in the first frame on an error by Jeanette. The runner advanced no further than second. Stuart, who led off for Carolina, beat out an infield hit, : and was sent to second on Herty's sacri fice. Moorfield's bad throw to third put him safe and he made the first tally for the Tar Heels on a squeeze play, Barnes laying down a pretty bunt. Bingham's first hit came in the fourth, when Teague lifted one into right field, taking second on Proctor's f una ble. Moorfield then drove a long fly into center that might have gone for extra bases. Stuart, how-, ever, speared on the run. A score seemed possible for the White and Blue in the sixth when Stuart drove one over short and then stole second. Barnes follow ed with a hot hit to left, but a fine throw by Person caught Stuart at the plate. Carolina scored again in the seventh when Proctor drew his second pass and scored on Feimster's hit to deep center. In the eighth Cooper failed to handle (Continued on Page Six) UNIVERSITY SERMON The University sermon for March, the last University sermon for the current session, will be de livered on Sunday, Marc hi 8th. in the Chapel, at 11 A. M., by Rev. W. R. L. Smith, D. D., of the Baptist Church. It will be remembered that Dr. Smith was until a few months ago the pastor of the Baptist Church here. He was highly esteemed by the citizens of Chapel Hill and by the students of the University. It will give us pleasure to see him here again. "Where are you from little girls?" "I am from Providence." "Oh, are you?" "Oh, no, R. I."
