OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVIII. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, MAY 8, 1920 Number 26 TRACK TEAM WINS STATE TRACK MEET: SCORES 52 POINTS f TRINITY 28 1-2, N. C. STATE 28, DAVIDSON 25, AND WAKE FOREST 17 1-2 MEET WAS LARGEST OF YEAR Carolina's High Score Due To Her Scoring in Every Event Except High Hurdles Carolina literally "walked away" with the state track meet here Satur day, scoring 52 points to 28 1-2 for Trinity, 28 for N. C. State, 25 for Davidson and 17 1-2 for Wake For est. . ... The meet is one of the largest of the' year and arouses quite a bit of interest in all the institutions throughout the state. The most spec tacular performance was the pole vault by Captain Spencer, Carolina's crack vaulter. After tieing George Strong's record of 11 feet flat he easily cleared 2 inches higher and missed at 11 feet 5 inches by tip ping off the bar with his hand after his body had cleared. The new state champion was eagerly cheered by the crowd. Hardin's good work in the 440, making it in 53 2-5 seconds, and Powell's mile in 4.47 were both note worthy performances. The big indi vidual scorer was Lawrence, of N. C. State, his total being 14 points. Carolina's large score was due to her scoring in every event except the high hurdles, second, third and fourth places. , The events follow; 100 yard dash Murray, Davidson; Heckman, Wake Forest; Love, Caro lina; Edwards, Trinity.

Moss, who is very anxious to conduct services in this beautiful new edifice before the students leave for the summer vacation. For two years the towns people and especially the students have watched with keen interest, the progress on this new house of worship, which is situated across from the campus, and they agree that the finished product was worth watching and waiting for. This new church is the gift of Dr. James Sprunt, of Wilmington, and is given as a memorial to his wife. Dr. Sprunt, although not an alumnus of the University, holds the honorary title of L.L.D. from this institution, and is one of i ts most loyal and generous friends. Besides being a figure in the financial life of the state and nation, Dr. Sprunt has published two volumes on the history of North Carolina: "Chronicles of the Cape Fear River," and "Dere licts," the latter having just come from the press and is dedicated to Dr. J. G. deR. Hamilton, Alumni Professor of History. Due to the labor scarcity, ina bility to get materials, the death of the first contractor, and like troubles, the building has been for nearly two years in process of construction. But now as it is rapidly nearing completion it is quite an artistic addition to the village of Chapel Hill, already famous for its beauty. With its tall, slender steeple it is one of the outstanding landmarks. The church is built after the fashion the famous old New England .

Two papers were presented before the society at this meeting. The first by Dr. DeB. MacNider on "Fat Content in Tissues At Different Age Periods." He explained that the kidneys of younger animals contained less fat than those of older animals, and that the kidney of an animal having Bright's . disease contained more fat than they do normally. Anaesthetics, he further stated, sought out for their point of action the part containing greatest fat. Hence, the action of anaesthetics on the kidneys of an animal during Bright's disease is greater than at normal times. The second paper was presented by Dr. A. W. Hobbs on "The Ein stein Theory of Relativity." He explained with blackboard illustra tions the relation between the old Mentonian Theory and the Einstein theory of relativity. PLAYMAKERS PRESENT FOURTH SERIES PLAYS With a most attractive stage setting showing one of the pic turesque moonshine stills in opera tion at four o'clock in the morning, the comedy "Dod Gast Ye Both" opened the fourth series of the Carolina Playmakers. The most important piece of stage properties was of course the copper still bor rowed from the authorities at Hills boro for the occasion. It was returned with a record of good behavior though one attempt was made to carry away a part of it. George Denny as the old moonshiner with a marvelously rich vocabularly of expletives acted the part excep tionally well, a part in striking con trast by the way, to , that of the preacher which he played last time. Miss Markham played the part of the moonshiner's beautiful daughter to perf ection. She was perhaps the favorite character in the series. "The Bell Buoy" was a very im pressive tragedy, both in acting and in stage setting. All those taking part were experienced players and their work Was first class. The whistling wind, the ringing of the bell buoy in the distance and other noises peculiar to the Atlantic Ocean gave the effect of a real storm. "The Last of the Lowries" also a tragedy was featured by the superb acting of Miss Taylor in the part of the old mother of the Lowrie robbers. Though by no means limited to characters of this type, Miss Taylor's excellent work in similar parts in other plays will be remembered. On May 7 the Playmakers are to repeat this series at Greensboi'o, this being the first trip to be made out in the state though there have been many calls received from other towns. Since the Hillsboro still has been returned it will be necessary to get another at Greensboro though this can be easily arranged. Hodgin Wins in Peace Oratorical Contest Prelim. In the elimination contest held April 30 in Di Hall, Mr. D. R. Hod gin was selected from a field of eight contestants to represent the Univer sity of North Carolina in the North Carolina Peace Oratorical contest to be held in High Point on Thursday night, May 6. C. T. Boyd was chosen alternate. Representatives from all of the colleges in the state will compete in the final contest. The first prize is $75 and the second prize $50. The following men spoke in the preliminary: D. R. Hodgin, "The Essential Foundatipns of World Peace;" C. T. Boyd, "The Problem of Peace"; B. C. Brown, "America's Greatest Contribution;" Townsend,' "America Her Opportunity and Her Duty;" J. S. Massenburg, "Peace, The Fruit of Nationalism;" Dan Byrd, "America and the New Diplo macy;" P. Hettleman, "Is Peace Possible?;" J. P. Washburne, "Amer ica's Opportunity." Dr. Pierson, Dr. Toy and Mr. Frank Orr judged the contest. HORSEHIDE NINE LOSES TO QUAKERS BY 2 TO 1 SCORE VARSITY PUTS UP BEST EXHI BITION OF SPRING FOR THE QUAKERS LOSES GAME BY CLOSE SCORE "Lefty" Wilson Strikes Out Seven of the Men Facing Him and Gives " No Free Passes The University of North Carolina baseball team, although losing by the close score of 2 to 1 on Franklin field, the playing pasture of Univer sity of Pennsylvania, the Tar Heels gave the Quakers V a bad scare caused by absolutely the best exhi bition put up by a visiting nine here thus far this spring. Lefty Wilson, save for permitting right fielder Meyers, of the home collegians, to connect for a homer into deep left in the sixth inning, pitched just as good ball as Huntzingcr, the win ner.' His strikeout record of seven with no free issues to first, made his work stand out most admirably for a small crowd of Tar Heel sup porters who cheered at various times of the exciting match, which inci dentally was played in one hour and twenty-four minutes, a record for college games in this section. North Carolina collected ,two of their four hits in the ninth inning when Feimster, who got two for the visitors, hit, advanced on McLean's walk and scored when Llewellyn, batting for Sweetman, hit safely. Younce had an elegant .chance to win the game with two still on the circuit but he flied for the conclusion (Continued on page six) COMMERCE STUDENTS "The first big problem after the war was to decide whether this country should enter foreign trade," said Matthew Hale, president of the South Atlantic Maritime Corpora tion 'before the students of the School of Commerce in an address here last Tuesday night. Mr. Hale came here Tuesday morning to attend an educational conference relative to proper training for college men desiring to enter foreign trade. Mr. Hale brought out the fact that since the Civil War, New York has handled practically all the exports and imports of the United States. He declared that the south ern ports were the logical outlets for miVch' of the manufactured pro ducts of this country, but that this business had never been developed because of the petty jealousy pre vailing between the large southern cities. One of the first things that had to be done in developing the Maratime Corporation declared Mr. Hale was to get the five cities of Wilmington, Savannah, Charleston, Atlanta and Brunswick to pool their interests Another serious problem that the shipping company faced was the differential rates from the middle West to New York, which was a serious disadvantage to Southern ports. Before any shipping company could be a success an adequate cargo was necessary, so representatives from twenty-four states appealed to the Interstate Commerce Commission to repeal these differential rates. This was done and the next neces sary step, according to Mr. Hale, was to get the Shipping Board to grant this corporation steel ships. "We secured twelve steel steamers from the Shipping Board," said Mr. Hale, "and these ships are now operating from the Southern ports to Argentina, Cuba, Brazil, and Rio." The next problem was to arrange means to handle 'the products for shippers in different countries. To do this the South Atlantic Export Company was organized and it now has branches in twelve different countries to handle the products of (Continued on page six) Carolina Fights Today In South Atlantic Meet Yesterday and ' today the Carolina track team in charge of Coach Brown and Captain Spencer have been battling against Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown, Catholic Uni versity, Virginia, Washington and Lee, and V.

A number of Captain Brown's athletic class are playing indoor baseball out or doors. All of the space available for baseball has been taken by the class and varsity teams, and in order to give a few of his class exercise in the afternoon he has organized a team to play in-door baseball out of doors. The game is one which requires no gloves and the ball is large and soft. Very little space is used in playing on account of the fact that the ball cannot be hit very far be yond the infield. This is a new game in the list of Carolina athletic attrac tions and the success of . the innova tion is awaited with keen interest. TRIANGULAR DEBA1E TROPHY GOES TO THE CAROLINA DEBATERS WINS FIRST SERIES OF DEBATES TO BE HELD WITH NEW TRIANGLE JOHNS HOPKINS VYINSj HERE Defeats Washington and Lee, Wash ington and Lee New Tri angle Member By defeating Johns Hopkins at Lexington and Washington and Lee at Baltimore, while Hopkins was humbling Washington and Lee at Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina won the first series of triangular ; debates to be held by these three institutions.

From the time Mr. Bingham took the stage until he bid his audience good night he had the concentrated attention of each and every one in the house. Never did his program grow monotonous and all the time he had the audience completely in hand. The program, as he said, was "humorous in spots," but, to be more accurate, it was "broke out" with humor. There were variations that. ..permitted the roaring laughter to suDsiae, dut; at these times the crowd was held spell bound. The program was in four parts. First was monologue in this the humorist showed the skill of a real artist. His "puns" flowed as freely , as the gushing water. Never was he at loss for a good joke or pun, for as he said, "one suggested another." The second part of the program a "pianologue" was both interesting and amusing for the entire renditions were in one tune the bell of one tune. The most popular of these was "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." The next part of the program was "with and on the violin. The selec tions were well chosen and received loud applause. Before the last and final selection Mr. Bingham briefly but harshly denounced the "Reds" and impressed upon the audience the necessity of everyone being a one hundred per pent, man in fhpso timon. TTo fnM needlessly so for, he had represented, that a man could entertain a crowd for one hour and thirty minutes with good, clean humor. "The '.Possum Hunt m Georgia," was snlendidlv civen.
