Coirespondeac of -The Observer. Chapel Hill, May 8. Th baseball team which has so splendidly repre sented th University and the Stat of North Carolina this spring re turned to the hill Wednesday. The student body which has been behind every team football, track and de-batlng-r-that has represented the University this year surpassed itself in welcoming home this triumphant team. The students who were not on clans gathered at the station at the time of the arrival of the noon train. Led by the student band the students marched down the main street pull ing the team in a four-seated car riage. When the procession reached the college well the students gathered together around the well, gave the college cheers, and sang the State and college songs. As soon as this genuine expression of college spirit was over the students, although run ning over with enthusiasm. Immedi ately dispersed to go on the next recitation. That night a tremendous University mass meeting was held in Gerrard Hsll. The entire student body put aside their book for a while to give expression to their love for the Uni versity. In the front stows of seats were the men who had represented the University in athletics and in de bate. There were the members of the track team who without coach or trainer had made a valiant tight to put track athletics in the Uni versity upon a firmer basis. There were the members of the debating teams who had a share In making Carolina's splendid debating record, which includes one defest by Wash ington and Lee. one by Virginia, one by George Washington. one by Pennsylvania and four by Georgia: and whichjalso Includes one victory over rennsyivania. one over Tulane, one over George Washington, two over Johns Hopkins, two over Vir ginia, three over Vanderhllt and eight over Georgia. Last but not least there were the members of the base ball team, who have won eighteen and lost five games. President B. L. Banks after a few Introductory remarks introduced the first speaker. Dr Charles H. Hertv. chairman of the faculty athletic committee, who arose amid tre mendous applause. Dr. Herty paid a high tribute not only to the record of the baseball team In games won but also to their gentlemanly and sportsmanlike conduct at all times. Mr. H. E. Stacy, who successfully represented Carolina In the debate with Tulane. was called upon for a speech and responded with a glow ing account of the hospitality shown to the North Carolina team by Tulane University. Prof. M. C. 8. Noble, the prJnce of mass meeting speakers, made. It suffices to say, a characteristic speech. Rev. R. w. Hogue made a most tflllng speech. He paid. Incidentally, a high tribute to Dr. Venable. who has hHd a Inrge part In the enforcement of athletic regulations which require that Csro lina's teams be amateurs and repre sentative. Mr. Hogue commended the members of the team for refusing many offers to play league ball this summer. Dr. Archibald Henderson, after his inevitable remsrks about Red" Stewart and Captain Hamil ton, demonstrated the proposition that Carolina had the best claim to the Southern championship. "Red" Stewart and Captain Hamilton after much persuasion made short talks Stewart said thst while he was snowed under by Pennsylvania he would rather have won from Vlr rlnla than to be President of the United States. Hamilton said that rne oynUy of the University students would forever be one of the sweet remembrances of his life. rter me mas meeting a huge bon fire was set off at the east end of the campus.

Mav a f v.. t ... , ville 'Highlanders" are fast round ing mio snape. The way they have pounded their antagonists in every practice game played so far has been very gratifying to the fans, especially so considering that two of Moss' best Pitchers, Clancy and Carter, have not been used In these try-out games there seemingly being no doubt of their retention. The weeding out process has al ready begun. Klugg. candidate for first base, and McDonald,, an outfielder having been allowed to depart. Mc Donald has gone to Ooldsbpro, where he Is confident of winning a position From present indications the pitch ing: department will probably be the strongest feature of the team, the lat est acquisition belny Muir, from the champion Richmond "Colts " This twlrler held the New York Americans down to 2 hits this spring, and should hold down the Eastern Carolina swat ter some. Several clubs were after Muir, but Moss secured him through a long-standing friendship with Manag er Llpe, of Richmond. With the leading candidates for the slab posi tion, Muir, Clancy, of Jacksonville and Charleston last year, Myers, who halls from Trenton. In the Trl-State League, and Carter, one of Portsmouth's slab artists last season, the Highlanders will have a very strong staff. Red fearn, of Spartanburg, fonfrerly of Charlotte, may be secured. The Infield is fast and snappy. Full mer, from the Trl-State, who refus ed several other offers, preferring to play with Moss, is the fastest third sacker who has ever played In this region. Hart, the Union leaguer, leaves nothing- to he desired In his car of V second; James play a star gam at first base, whil th ability of Moss as a shortstop Is well known to all class followers of th game. Th eotfield will be well taken car of, gres,t strength being, added to this department by th acquisition of Dobson. who played last year with Anderson.
