He seems extremely anxious to see what Carolina's dramatic organiza tion is doing, and it is for this rea son, and to give a reading of "The Mountain Man" that is coming. This play was written by a North Caro linian about North Carolina people. Prof. Koch is trying to make ar rangements for Mr. Blackmer to be in Chapel Hill on May 12th when the Playmakers will give their western tour program at the Play House. Triples by McLean and Wilson Followed by Sacrifices by F. Morris and Johnston Gives Carolina 2 to 0 Victory in Hard Fought Pitchers' Battle. McLean's triple in the first inning, followed by Fred Mor ris' long sacrifice fly, and Wilson's triple in the second, follow ed by a bunt from Red Johnson spelled two runs and victory tor Laronna while Llewellyn was holding Wake Forest to five hits and no runs, in the game on Emerson field Wednesday. The two long hits and the two sacrifices that turned them into runs were about all the game with the excepting of the pitching of Llewellyn and Johnson. Both pitchers had all kinds of stuff and used it to advantage." Johnson, for Wake Forest, tightened up as the game progressed and outside the two triples, a clean single by McDonald constituted the entire out put on the part of the Baptist twirler.

(Signed) Chas. Laughinghouse, C. J. Parker, Jr. THINITY THAGK MEET IS Fetzer's Men in Good Shape for Dual Meet Promises to Be Close Struggle for Victory. Two Tennis Courts Will Be Completed Early Next Week Work has been going on rapidly on the tennis courts, and two of them probably will be ready for use by the early part of next week. The ones completed are those located near Mary Ann Smith. However, they will require several rollings before they will be firmly enough packed. There has been work going on daily on the other courts but they will not be ready for use in quite a while. Ex -avation and elevating work has not been completed on IN DEATH OF FOUR DECLARE flOTHES DO NOT MAKE UP CULTURE Dr. Bernard, With Deep Feeling, De fines Culture as Something Else. Opportunities Are Here. Jackson, Ky., April 7. Thirteen men charged with murder in connec tion with the killing of four men in Clayhole precinct of Breathhitt coun ty on election day last November, are expected to go on trial in the Breathhitt circuit court tomorrow. Juries from other counties in the dis trict over which Circuit Judge Sam Hurst presides, may be called to hear the cases. The Clayhole precinct shooting oc curred early in the morning of elec tion day. It grew out of a bitter po litical fight, Breathhitt county being one of the few mountain counties in which the Democratic Darty has a ma jority, at least part of the time. The margin between the Republican and Democratic parties is very close. On the last election day there was j "o Daiioting in this precinct which normally is heavily Democratic. The ballot box was thrown into a stream and most of the election officials kill ed or wounded. Reports differ as to who fired the fast shots in the melee and as to the i exact cause. I "Out of the heart of a man pro cede the things that defile him, and not the clothes that he wears on his back," said Dr. Bernard in chapel Monday morning. With much spirit and deep feeling, the popular Greek professor denied that the University was lacking in the opportunities for securing culture. "That assumption is all wrong," said Dr. Bernard. There is more op portunity here for culture today than ever before. We get culture from two sources: First, by bucking up against our next-door neighbors; second, from the great world of re corded thought and imaginary char acters. To these must be added the great American principle of work. If you've got thought in your think tank, you've got culture and you can face any dress-suit in the world." Dr. Bernard illustrated his point by referring to University alumni who had been among the "great un wHshed" while on the campus and who are today thought of as the most cultured ana renneu men w state; In this connection he men tioned the fact that Christ Himself was counted to be among the "great unwashed" of his day. With an excellent outlook for vic tory, Carolina will take on Trinity in her first dual track meet here to morrow. Since the varsity trials last Saturday, Fetzer has had his men hard at work, and every man is in good shape for the Olympic contest tomorrow. Abernethy has been making excel lent shots with his javelin practice, and if he runs true to form ought to take the event. Morris, who won first place in the shot put in the state meet last year, has been working hard, and promises to take this event. This is the first of a series of dual meets which will be run during the coming month. State College is to be taken on the 2Gth. Plans for a meet between Carolina and Virginia are being held under consideration and if a date can be arranged they will probably be taken on. The team goes to Columbia on the 13th to com pete in a triangular meet with South Carolina and Georgia. From reports published in the Dur ham Herald the Trinity team of this year is not as good as that of last. Fetzer, however, is expecting the af fair to be close and hard fought throughout. It is thought that the two teams will break about even in the run ning events. If this is the case the Carolina squad is practically assured of victory, since the field events men are probably the strongest out, since the loss of Ranson and Harden. The running events were weakened con siderably by this loss. Men have been prepared to take their places and are expected to per form creditably. That Freeman and Dale Ranson will compete in the mile seems to be the consensus of cam pus opinion, and that Ambler and Murchison will enter the 880, while Woodard and Sinclair will take on the 100, Woodard also competing in the high jump. L. H. Moore may come in for the dashes. START OFF EASY .The Baptists started off easy, go ing out three up and three down in the first inning. McDonald was out to the infield but McLean connected for a long triple to center field, Mor ris brought him in with a long fly to center. In the second inning Wil son poled out a long triple to left field, the ball almost going over the hedge for a homer. Red Johnston brought him home with a nicely placed bunt. Wake Forest seriously threatened several times, having men on second and third twice, much to the dis comfort of the stands which were j filled with Carolina supporters. Several sensational plays were made during the game. Casey Mor ris took in a high foul fly over be hind the Wake Forest bench in the seventh that looked almost impos sible. He had previously retired one man in the same inning on a foul ! fly. Shirley looked more than good on first and McDonald fielded his po sition clean throughout the game, taking some hard chances with his customary ease. The entire infield worked like a clock and the outfield, when given a chance performed creditably. The only disappointed thing about the game was the fact it was a pitchers' battle when most of the fans had been primed for a slug gling match. Wake Forest looks good, several of their men playing like big leaguers. The center field er, Poole, robbed Shirley of what looked like a sure three-base hit. He played an unusually good game throughout, securing two hits for Wake Forest, stealing a base, and coming as near scoring as any man on the team did, which was third base. Stringfield at short, also look- The freshmen go into their second game of the season here tomorrow afternoon when they meet Greens boro high school on Emerson field. Several changes have been made In the line-up since the Oak Ridge game and Coach Coxe feels that the team has been materially strengthened. The pitching staff has been working overtime getting into shape for the fray tomorrow, and while no choice has been made as to who will pitch, the freshmen are confident of having a good man in the box. The fresh man team is wealthy with good pitch ers. The Greensboro game starts off the steady stream of games to be played by the freshmen this season. A well arranged schedule is to be played off and Coach Coxe is confident of hav ing a smooth working machine to turn over to Coach Bill Fetzer next year.

Seven Rushers Are Shipped From Walls of Swain Hall Jack Sparrow Is Now In Automobile Business. .Trk Snarrow. formerly owner of the Carolina Goody Shop, but who sold out that business some time ago, has taken up a new field and has purchased the garage formerly oc bv Mr. Bud Temple. He has i w the agency for the Dodge automo bile in this territory. Mr. Sparrow has already sold a good number of these cars in this community. PRESENTED BY UMSTEAD Durham Lawyer Views Society Train ing as One of the Important Phases of College Training. Seven men were "shipped" from Swain Hall by the management Mon day evening for forcing their way into the dining room before time for the evening meal. It was the climax of a two or three months ef fort on the part of the hall to stop "rushing" the doors before proper time for meals. Several weeks ago D. E. Scarbor ough manager, issued a written re quest in a polite form asking that the practice be stopped, but the plan was unsuccessful and a few days later he tried another scheme of changing the meal hours by five or ten minutes. This plan also failed to accomplish his purpose. The most recent method on the part of the management was a brief notice giving warning to the men who insisted on entering the hall telling them that if the practice is not stop ped all offenders will be asked to change boarding houses. Tonight at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall the two winning high school teams in the triangular debating union will contest for the Aycock Memorial cup. The query for the debate this year is Resolved: That the United States should enter the League of Nations. Keen interest has been displayed during the pre liminary debates and a large crowd is expected to greet the two teams. The preliminaries for the high school debates which were held last night utilized every possible hall and auditorium on the campus, plus the high school auditorium. Fifty-six schools participated in these debates and from these 14 affirmative and negative teams were chosen to test their oratorical skill against each oth er in the semi-finals. The teams drew lots for the different halls at a meet ing held at noon today in Peabody auditorium over which Mr. N. W. Walker presided. Mr. Walker un veiled the Aycock cup before the de baters saying "Here's your goal." The teams then drew for the different halls and thereby for their opposing team in the first debate for better or worse. The halls were presided over and judged as follows: Section I Di Hall: President, H. D. Duls; secretary, Ludlow Rogers; Judges, S. E. Leavitt, J. W. Lasley, A. S. Lawrence. Section II. Phi Hall: President, Dan Byrd; secretary, W. M. Saund ers; judges, J. M. . Booker, W. C. George, B. C. Brown. Section III. Gerrard Hall: Pres ident, F. G. Robinson; secretary, G. D.

Math- continued on Page 3) E OF S Ye Ancient Gap, Otherwise. One Catalog Exam, Takes in Inno cent, Unsuspecting Hopeful The opportunities of literary so ciety work were eloquently presented by William B. Umstead in chapel Tuesday morning. Mr. Umstead, at present practicing law in Durham, graduated from the University in 1916 with a good record for debat ing and oratory. "The committee could have found dozens of men more able to make a speech in behalf of the literary socie ties than I," said Mr. Umstead, "but I doubt very much if they could have found one more interested in the subject. In view of my six years of experience outside of the University, I look back upon my literary society training as one of the most import ant phases of my college training." Mr. Umstead told of hearing doz ens of young professional men be moan the fact that they failed to take advantage of literary society work while in college. He empha sized the importance of being aV.e to expres sone's thoughts before others in a clear, convincing mannc, declar ing that public speaking was 1 ecom ing more and more essentia1, even in the most technical professions. A membership canvass by commit tees of the Di and Phi societies was inaugurated Tuesday night. Band Reorganized To Play at the Ball Games The University brass band has been reorganized and is practicing for the spring athletic events. It is being directed by Mr. Carl Wiegand who had charge of it last fall. The band made its first appear ance of the spring at the Carolina Wake Forest baseball game Wednes day afternoon. The students were delighted to see it in action again and are glad to have a band for other games. The Carolina-Virginia game in Greensboro will probably see a re petition of last year's event when the band added much to the game and the celebration of the victory afterwards. U. S. PERSUADES CAPITAL BAKERS TO CUT BREAD PRICE San Francisco, April 7. Mary suit of protests from United States Attorney Peyton Gordon, local bak ers abandoned plans for raising the price of bread a cent and a half a loaf and instead announced a cut of one-half a cent. Intimations that the Sherman anti-trust law might be Invoked caused the bakers to change their minds suddenly. Cedar bird Freshman takes cata log exam" is the way a headline to this story should be written. Yeh, a loyal member of the class of '25 went down to Alumni Building two different evenings this week to get pff his required examination on the University Catalog. It came about like this: Saturday was April 1st to everyone, and it was particularly April 1st to this man, who received a card Saturday telling him to come to a certain room in Alumni Monday afternoon for the required work. The poor Freshman went as the card from the "Registrar" told him to do. But no one was there to give him the questions, so he ambled his way into the English office to see if the learned professors could enlight en him. But the profs would not let a cedar bird cedar bird them so they told him they didn't know. Of course they didn't know. What professor ever knew anything? "I thought somebody was trying to fool me," he told his roommates when he finally came back. But the date on the card had been changed in his absence and he was to come Tuesday instead of Monday. The following afternoon the young gentleman sailed forth again and this time the "Registrar" had placed on the blackboard questions for the required examination. The Fresh man answered them as best he could but he felt too disgusted with his own answers and the man who told it all for publication was not abl to get the quiz book. Had he, it is believed many unknown things about the catalog could have been found.
