TEAM LEAVES ON SOUTHERN
TRIP WITH GOOD PROSPECTS
WILL PLAY AGAINST EXPER
IENCED MEN FROM CAMPS
SEVIER AND JACKSON
With a game against Guilford
today in Greensboro the team start
ed on its southern tour this morn
ins;. Coach llearn reports the
team in fairly good condition.
Pippin was called into, service this
week, but has been granted a leave
of absence till the end of his term.
Coach Hearn also says that in spite
of criticism, the team played very
well against Oak Ridge on last
Saturday considering the fact that
it wits their first game. He says
that considering the lack of ma
terial and shortage of time in
which to practice, they have made
remarkable progress. The team
hopes to secure much benefit from
the trip, especially as it is to meet
excellent teams from the Camps
where there are many stars from
the big leagues. "Coach" thinks
this is an especial advantage,' and
an opportunity for great profit.
He hopes to have the club in ex-
' cellent shape for the Virginia
games. The men making the trip
are two from Younce, Adams and
Spaugh, catchers ; Powell, Joyner,
and Swift, pitchers; Bryant and
Henry, first base and utility man;
. Cordon, second ; Herty, short ;
Fiemstor. third ; and Harden, Bo
ren and Grandin in the outfield.

The campaign for books for our
soldiers closed gloriously last Sat
urday afternoon with a grand total
of 1568 volumes. And more are
coming in all the time, the libra
Brians say. The books are classi
fied as follows : Fiction, 525 ; non
fiction, 434; and texts (mostly
French), 609. Chapel Hill and
the University contributed the ma
jority of these. Hillsboro and
Cedar Grove gave less than 200 to
the pile.
Many students took a shot at
the prize by entering the guessing
contest. When the contest closed
there were 1495 books, in the pen.
J. M. Robbins was the winner,
having as his guess the number
1497. L. II. Hodges and E. E.
Groves came nevt with 1942. Four
hundred students entered the con
test. The winner was allowed to
select five dollars worth of books to
add to the collection.
The results of the campaign
compare most favorably with those
in other towns. Greensboro gave
700 books, and Raleigh contributed
1700.
The library takes this opportu
nity for thanking all for their gen
erosity and co-operation in secur
ing reading matter for our soldiers.
No one knows how much these
books will be appreciated in camps
and trenches.
Battalion Pays Respect
to Late Jack Cramner
The Battalion, serving as a mil
itary escort, paid its last respects
to Jack Cramner last week. The
companies formed up at 4 o'clock
and marched to the Cramner home
where the funeral services were
held. As the remains were borne
from the house the student-soldiers,
with bared heads, stood at atten
tion. The Battalion marching at
the head of the funeral procession,
pasi-ed slowly through town and
crown to Strowd's hill where it
formed up on each side of the
road. While the funeral party
was passing through the ranks
each company stood at parade rest,
and as the cortege passed over the
brow of the hill the bugler sound
ed taps.
RULES AND REGULATIONS WILL
BE STRICTLY ENFORCED
THROUGHOUT SERIES
I. Positively no "breaking will
be allowed on any of the leads"
until the "encores." However,
"breaking" will be allowed on the
"breaks" and "generals" together
with all "encores" as it has been
heretofore.
. II. Only dancers in full evening
dress will be admitted to the floor
for the night dances.
III. Spectators will be admitted
to the gallery after eleven (11 :00)
oclock.
The above regulations will be
strictly enforced.
Every night danc will begin
promptly at 9 o'clock.
Oh, Joy, Oh boy, Handy with
his lively musical, tuneful contin
gent has at last wired that he will
head this way in time to be present
at the beginning of the Terpsicho
rean festivities next Wednesday
night, provided some irresponsible
corporation wires him railroad fare
in advance. He at first wired that
the strong draft had his band in its
clutches and he would not be able
to be present, but later wired that
the storm had blown over. As a
result of a casualitv in his list,
however, Handy, the original, will
brave the storm and lead his gang
to the Hill next week. His music
is said to be super-peppy.
As for the girls well, they
bring on more talk. Uver oU ol
the graceful beauties have already
signified their intention of adarn
ing the Hill next week, and several
others have not been heard from,
including "Peck" Norris' seven.
There will probably be the largest
number that have ever honored
Carolina men with their presence.
And it's no wonder; everything is
so Handy. Raleigh, as usual, will
furnish its full quota, while Dur
ham, Charlotte, Wilmington,
Goldsboro, Asheville, Tarboro,
Wilson, New Bern, Winston,
Greensboro, Oxford, Henderson,
Washington, and Chapel Hill will
also be well represented.
Hard-boy khaki uniforms will
give way to delicate dress-suits ;
Durham has already been bom-

THE SENIOR STUNT
Thursday night at 7:30 the
Senior stunt will be presented in
Gerrard Hall by the class. The
play is said to differ from the
general type of senior stunts and
has met the approval of the fac
ulty committee.
OAK RIDGE 3-CAROLINA 4
IN INITIAL GAME OF SEASON
State Bridges Discussed
at North Carolina Club
Ninety-five per cent of the
bridges in North Carolina are un
safe for all kinds of traffic, accord
ing to W. S. Fallis, of Raleigh,
head of the State Highway Com
mission, wl.'j fully discussed bridge
building lief ore the regular fort
tiighijy meeting of the North Car
olina club Monday night.
Mr. Fallis urged that for the
sake of economy and safety great
care be taken to secure adequate
designs made by independent and
competent bridge engineers (those
not connected with any bridge com
pany or any contractor proposing
to build the bridge), and that care
ful supervision of bridge construc
tion by competent men be under
taken in every case. He placed
special emphasis on the founda
tions on which the bridges are
built.
une 01 tne greatest crimes
permitted against the people in an
economical way by the county au
thorities having charge of the
bridges is their failure to properly
maintain them, both by keeping
the floor smooth and in safe con
dition and by keeping the bridges
painted. Steel bridges should never
be permitted to go more than three
years without being thoroughly
cleaned and painted," he said.
"A large number of bridge fail
ures in the country have been due
to improper designed abutments

Ilermas Stephenson then spoke
on the "Good Egg." He began by
giving Marcus Aurelius' definition
of a good egg, a man who is strict
ly honest and sincere. He then de
fined a good egg by stating what a
good egg should do. He should
adopt himself to all kinds of men
and conditions, attempt all great
and good things ; and achieve what
he knows to he the right thing.
A short discussion followed.
Capt. Allen announced in the
Chapel Wednesday morning that a
committee in Greensboro, at the
instigation of the Rotary Club, had
already almost completed plans for
bringing the whole battalion there
on April 13 to hold the place of
honr at the head of the huge pa
rade preparatory to the third lib
erty loan that begins on the 15th.
All the schools in the immediate
vicinity, Normal, G. C. W., and

schools, besides the Red Cross, and
other organizations in the state

line of march will lead to the Nor
mal, where a big patriotic song
service will be held.
Negotiations are under way
with Mr. J. 0. Jones, district traf
fic agent, for the Southern, to ob
tain a troop train to run from here
and return for $1.50. Mr. Woolen
thinks that this plan is almost cer
tain to succeed, and states that the
whole affair will be a tremendous
success and will show the. whole
3tate what we are doing for our
country.
1 is planned to leave here at 8
in the morning and, after seeing
the Virginia game, return at an
agreeable hour, arriving here,
somewhere around midnight.
HOLY CROSS WINS IN RAGGED
GAME MARKED BY LISTLESS
FANS AND BAD PLAYS
In a typical first of the season,
game, listless and replete with er
rors, Carolina defeated Oak Ridge
last Saturday 4 to 3. Jack Pow
ell was on the firing line for the
home defenders and clicked seven
"iisi'alties in the opposing 'batsmen.
Burrus, pitching for Oak Ridge,
was strong at times.
The game started with a snap
but when Powell tossed an easy
grounder over Bryant's head in
the second inning allowing Pegram
to score, things went wrong and
the game moved with a drag until
the end. A cold slow drizzle set
ting in about the fifth inning also
helped to slow things up consider
ably. 1
Earle Holt's proteges scored
again in the fifth .when Norwood
slashed a drive.into center for three
bases and scored when Herty threw
over Feimster's head on the relay
in. They crossed the plate again
in the ninth, when Barnes hit to
right for three corners after Nor
wood had singled..
Carolina's big show occurred in
the fifth and eighth innings. In
the fifth Powell walked, Herty
fouled out to the datcher but Gran
din singled and Powell scored,
Cordon taking third on the throw
to the plate. He scored when tha
catcher threw wild in an effort to
catch Grandin at second. In the
eighth Herty walked, Grandin sac
rificed, and Adams, running for
Herty, scored after Pippin singled.
Feimster singled, stole second and
scored when, Bryant's hot grounder
to third bounded away.
The features for Carolina were
the hitting of Cordon and Pippin
while Norwood featured for Oak
Ridge with his stab of Powell'a
terrific line drive.
