NOSES OUT POWELL PITCHES AIR TIGHT BALL Saving the Edge, Perhaps, on Mur ray, Visiting Twirler, Who Also Showed Form Tn a came abounding in thrilline and exciting plays, the University of North Carolina defeated State Col lege on Emerson Field yesterday afternoon, 2 to 1. The game was hard fought and intensely interesting throughout, the final count being in doubt until the last ball was pitched. The outstanding features of the contest were the superb pitching of the opposing twirler and Sims' sen sensation catch of Burrus' high fly to left field. Powell, the Carolina hurler, apparently had a little edge on Mur ray, ana naa tne iormer Deen ac corded air tight suport by his team mates he would have held the visitors scoreless. Carolina's two runs came in the fourth. Herty was walked. McLane hit safely to right, advancing Herty. Sims bunted and Herty crossed the plate during the excitement which en sued as the result of an effort to catch McLane at second. Feimster, next up, hit to second and was out at the home plate. Roberts then got a hit to center, bringing Sims in. State College dangerously threat ened to tie the score at several pe riods in the game. In the seventh frame, Murray hit a high one to left field which was misjudged by Sims and resulted in a three-bagger. The next throw was muffed by Roberts, Murray crossing the plate. In the third a quick double play broke up a nice chance for the West Raleieh bovs to score. In the eighth things again looked dark for the Car olina squad when State College got three men on bases as the result of an error by the Carolina shortstop, but a close throw by Bryant to the home plate caught Castello who was (Uontmuea on rage a) JOYNER BENDERS TOO MUCH FORVA.

The vis itors were at the mercy of Joyner, the University twirler, who pitched a no-hit game. The Tar Hels found. Matthews for 10 hits and got men on bases in every inning. The fea tures of the contest were the pitching of Jovner for Carolina, three beau tiful catches by Brooks and Mayre for V. P.

William Grimes, Earle Johnston, and Marshall Barber, all of the class of 1919, were on the Hill Monday to witness the game. Extensive Forensic Activities Planned Carolina is now planning to come back with full strength in debating this spring. Due to the S. A. T. C. last fall all debates were called off as -were those in all the other col leges. Now those days have passed, and this necessary part of college life will be, rendered with more vigor than ever. The Debating Council has been busy all the year arranging a com plete set of debates for this spring. They have succeeded in not only ar ranging schedules, but in framing queries from the most live questions of the day. " The Junior Oratorical Contest is the first contest to come off. The exact dates for this have not been decided upon definitely yet. The pre liminaries, however, will take place several days preceeding Junior Week. The questions for these orations will be left entirely to the orators. They are expected, however, to select some live subject of the dafcr one that will be of interest to everyone. There are several juniors from each society who are working on this contest now, and it promises to be a hard-fought battle. The winners in the prelim inaries will contest the first or sec ond day of Junior Week. The Inter-Collegiate debates be tween the freshmen and sophomores of. the two societies will take place on the 24th of May. The finals will be held on the 7th and 8th of May. The freshmen and sophomores have begun to line up for this in strong numbers. There is time yet to begin and both societies urge all their de baters who are intending trying for a place to come out at once. The query is, "Resolved, That the United States should jbin the League of Nations". The freshmen of the Phi uphold the affirmative against the sophomores of the Di., while the sophomores of the Phi. uphold the negative against the freshmen of the Di. The big affair of the spring is the Inter-Collegiate' debate. Carolina will meet her ancient rivals Johns Hopkins and Virginia this year as has been the custom for many years to pass. The query will be, "Re solved, That the Government of the United States should own and oper ate the railroads". The preliminaries for this debate will be held on April 16th and the finals will come off May 2d. A slight change will be made this year as to where the home teams debate. Heretofore both teams have debated on the opponents' floors. This year the affirmative team of each college will remain home and send its negative team away. Carolina's affirmative will debate Virginia here and its negative will debate Hopkins at Baltimore. Carolina's record in this debate is very creditable. Both teams won last (Continued on Page 4) High School Prelim. Winners are Announced The question of compulsory mili tary training, was debated by the High School Debating Union in the first preliminaries throughout the State last Saturday night. All con tests have not yet been reported but the successful contesting schools ac cording to reports received are: Aulander, Bethel, Cameron, Carth age, Clemmons, Columbus, Durham, Elizabeth City, Goldsboro, Hertford, Jamestown, King's Mountain, Man teo, Middleburg, Mount Gilead, Mount Olive, Newton, Oak Hill, Red Oak, Rockingham, Roanoke Rapids, South Buffaloe, Sand Hill, Stony Creek, Selma, Winston-Salem, Kalk erton, Wesley Chapel, Yanceyville, Louisburg, Southport. The winners are being rearranged in triwgles for the second state wide preliminaries to be held April 25. The plan of holding two sets of preliminaries is an innovation in troduced this year. Those schools that are successful in both debates in this instance will be represented in the final contest for the Aycock Me morial Cup at Chapel Hill on May 1-2. At this time also the University will be host to the annual inter scholastic athletic meet. The track meet will include a number of events, such as long-distance runing, short sprints, shot put, jumping matches, etc. The school making the most points in these matches will be awarded a handsome cup. Qualify ing schools will be paired for con tests in the tennis tournament. A cup will be presented to the winner of the singles while another cup goes to the school that is victorious . in doubles. Reports received at the secretary's office indicate an interesting occasion when the high school debaters and athletes reach the Hill. Marked in terest was displayed by both de baters and audiences last Saturday night in the first preliminaries. Chas. Zueblin, Noted Author and Lecturer Here Wed., April 16 IS AN EXPONENT OF THE NEW TYPE OF DEMOCRACY OF THE PEOPLES Charles Zueblin, of Boston, famous as a lecturer, publicist, and author, will deliver a lecture in Gerrard Hall Wednesday, April 16th, on the sub ject: "The World's I Visions and Re visions". Mr. Zueblin comes to us with the very highest recommenda tions as an interesting and forceful speaker. He is undoubtedly one of the biggest lecturers in the country. His creed and faith: in democracy is not merely as a form of government but "a faith and a life the Lie of all by the co-operation of all for the welfare of all".. To quicken the faith and practice of democracy has been the aim of Dr. Zueblin for years. That ' he has 'reached an immense audience is attested by the fact that his lecture trips have covered 850,000 miles, which is 34 times the circum ference of the earth. A number of powerful and effective books from his pen have also aided the spread of the gospel of true I democracy. Mr. Zueblin is frank and outspoken in his criticisms of economic and social abuses, but his criticism is always positive and constructive;, never merely destructive. His philosophy of life is uncompromisingly demo cratic; and his presentation of his ideas is always vivid and interesting It is quite safe to predict a splendid lecture, which every Carolina man should hear. Although the expense of securing Mr. Zueblin for the lec ture is considerable, no admission will be charged. CAROLINA BREAKS EVEN WITH BOYS FROM ELON SPECTACULAR ASCENSION OF BLUE AND WHITE CAUSES . GRIEF In the two-game series with Elon College, Carolina -split- even, winning the first game, an abbreviated affair of only 5 innings last Thursday, by the score of 4 to 1, and losing the second one Wednesday afternoon by the same score. The first game was played through out in a shower of rain and neither team played up to form. The pitchers were unable to put anything on the ball. Swift, for Carolina, allowed only one , safe bingle and that was of the scratch variety. Elon's only run came as a result of this safety sandwiched in with an error and a sacrifice hit. Carolina secured a total of five safety off of Sides, which produced four tallies. From the batting standpoint the three-bagger by Roberts was the fea ture for Carolina. The fielding of Lewis for Carolina and Johnson for Elon was good. In the second game the Tar Heel lads were beaten by the Elonites by exactly the same score. The weather was ideal for baseball, but the Caro lina infield, from the amount of bobbles committed, were suffering from an attack of spring fever. Swift did the twirling for Carolina and in the six innings he was on the mound, pitched faultless ball, allow ing only two safeties and sending seven men back in the whiffing meth od. He gave way to a pinch hitter in the seventh and was replaced by Wilson who also pitched fine ball during the remainder of the game. All of the visitors' runs were the direct result of costly errors by the Carolina infield. Elon stowed three in the fifth and one in the eighth. Carolina's lone marker was of the earned variety. In the fourth frame, Saunders beat out an infield hit, was sacrificed to second by Lewis and scored on McLane's slashing two bagger to right. That ended the home team's scoring, and although coach, ran in Younce, Powell and Joyner in the seventh, the necessary rally was not forthcoming. For Elon the pitching of Martin and the batting of King and Marlett were the outstanding features, while the pitching of Swift and Wilson, the fielding of Simms and batting of McLane were the redeeming points for Carolina.

Dr. Alden had found, in his lecture tour, that people everywhere are much the same and he only wished to give an informed talk on the relation of Shakespeare to present-day litera ture. He proposed first the opinions of Shakespeare's contemporaries and said that they accepted him as an un accountable genius yet his art lacked conformation to the accepted rules of drama. The nineteenth century, according to the contemporary critics, evolved an unreasoning worship of Shakespeare as a perfect playwright. They went so far as to bend the rules to suit his plays. Then the twentieth century gave' birth to a marked reaction towards things Shakespearian and there was devel oped a sceptical scientific school of critics who contended that Shakes peare borrowed all his stories and material, that his artistry was faulty and impractible and that his plays were marred by a multiplicity of plots. They also contended that his ideas of criminology and revenge were untrue to life thus producing in consistencies in his plays. The first of these objections, that of borrowed material, is true in fact yet this ma terial was so twisted and remoulded as to justify Shakespeare's assump tion that it was his own. As for the other mentioned defects, they were the direct product of the period in which they were produced and judged by the standards of that period they are true to life and the supposition that they are supreme is tenable. To Shakespeare belongs the mas tery of that art which co-ordinates speech with poetry and facts with ideals in such a manner as to cause one to support the other and to give a conception of drama in which prac ticability and idealism are insepar able. Dr. Alden points this as Shakes peare's greatest charm. . News has just been received here that Capt. Edward Mills, associate professor "of chemistry - at the Uni versity of North Carolina from 1904 to 1910 and a member of the chem istry department at the University of South Carolina since the latter date, has just been promoted to the rank of major in ' the department of gas and liquid fire. Professor .Mills has been in France since early last spring and is on leave of absence from the South Carolina university. Word has also been received here that Frank P. Graham, formerly gen eral Y. M. C. A. secretary and in structor in history at the university, has been promoted from second to first lieutenant in the marine corps. Lieutenant Graham received his com mission at Quantico last spring. Juniors Gather at Annual Banquet Meeting around the banquet board for the first time in over a year, the class of 1920, Thursday night, con ducted its annual banouet in the most successful fashion. The program was most informal and was made enjoyable by addresses and responses of faculty and student speakers. Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, the first speaker, dealt with the problem of modern success why some succeed and others fail in business life. The speaker also spoke briefly of our relationship with our late pres ident and how the years would en hance the value of his memory. Henry Stevens, the first student speaker, spoke of the fact of the class reunion and the consequent re-birth of class spirit. Prof. H. H. Williams spoke of the demand made by the conditions of the present and new future for men of character men able to withstand the pressure, as he said,- which will be brought to bear on them. John Washburn next spoke on the necessity of relating one's self to the various activities of college life. Professor Bernard closed the fac ulty program with a talk in which he presented the tendency of modern thought, a radical tendency, as he said. Professor Bernard applied this to campus thought and campus problems. G. D. Crawford, the last student speaker gave clearly the outlook to a man returned to school from the Camp Grant front. The festal occasion was; livened by choice selections by the lone jozz ban! ' Mike and Miss Elizabeth Tucker of Raleigh witnessed the game with A. and E. here last Monday. The following men have been in itiated into Omega Delta: Gary Har rington, Ed. Whitehead, John Kerr and Professor Koch. SPIRIT RUNS HIGH AT BIG MASS MEETING IN GERRARD HALL OLD HALL CROWDED TO CA PACITY TO CHEER TEAM ON OUT FOR THE VIRGINIA GOAT Talks Made By Representative Stu dents; Rountree's Song Chosen College spirit and enthusiasm were rife on the campus cf the University of North Carolina Wednesday night when practically every member of the student body crowded into Ger rard Hall to participate in a general mass-meeting, held for the purpose of crystallizing sentiment in regard to the Carolina-Virginia game to be staged in Greensboro Saturday. Luther Hodges, of Leaksville, man ager of this year's baseball team, presided over the meeting and called on various speakers. Earl Reaves, of Greensboro, cheer leader, gave the men a rapid fire drill in college yells in preparation for the game Satur- J t-il- XI.. i uay, wnien ran me enmusiasm to a high pitch. Members of the baseball squad were called on for speeches Joyner, Saunders, Roberts, dims, Gordon, and McLane being those to respond. Each player voiced the sentiment that this season's team is better than last year's in many respects. They showed that the game with E!on Wednesday was lost through costly errors alone and gave solemn promises that there' should be no recurrence of same from now on. The team will leave no ef forts undone to insure a victory in Saturday's encounter. Albert M. Coates, president of last year's Athletic Association, happily surprised the enthused audience with the announcement that former Head Coach Thomas J. Campbell, now a major in the army and just returned from France, would be released from the service in time to reach Greens boro for the game Saturday. From Greensboro he will come to Chapel Hill to resume his position as head coach of athletics. , (Continued on Page 4) SUPRISE PARTY PLANNED BY SENIOR COMMITTEE BIG HISTORICAL PLAY TO BE WRITTEN BY CLASS IS . , PLAN . Now that spring is here to stay, the Seniors' thoughts are beginning to , turn seriously to Commencement. This year is not only going to be a Senior affair, but everybody's affair. The Junior Week slogan "Stay on the Hill", is also going to be applied to the Commencement week. Many of the members of '19 have never stayed for a Commencement, and now are completely at sea as to how to act, what really happens, and are wishing they had not rushed home in years gone by. The faculty realize this also and they together with a Senior committee are working out plans for ! the most attractive program in years. This is but a first step to the bigger Commencement to commemorate the one hundred and twenty-fifth anni versary in 1920. At present plans are under way for an out-door pageant to be given during the Commencement week. A committee is at work at. present on this; they are delving in Dr. Battle's History. The pageant is to be strictly a Carolina one, written by Carolina Seniors, gotten from the traditions of the oldest state univer sity in America, acted by members of all classes and all the different schools of Carolina as she is today. To do this it will call for several hundred men and women, and will necessitate the presence of under classmen as well as those who will be so fortunate as to pull a sheep skin. At this time people from all over the State and this section of the South will be here, an audience composed of people from all walks of life, just the people that the Car olina Playmakers Association wants to reach, and have here a much bet ter opportunity than by going to , them. The Sen iors have also planned to give their annual banquet during Commencement. In years before the Senior class has been given the honor of leading off with the banquets, this coming sometime during February. But '19 is noted for the precedents it has broken, and for those it is establishing so was it with the Senior stunt, so was it in this. This year they gave '20 the honor of lead ing off with the banquets and they are content to came last. (Continued on Page 4)
