1AE. Vol. 14, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1906. So. 23. OFFICIAL ORCxAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. JoJtl Jl i i i 1 if A. ny Q Carolina Wins From Lafayette Past Northerners' Downed Fast and Exciting Contest on Wet Diamond Results in Score of 5 to 3 in favor of Carolina. Carolina met Lafayette Tuesday afternoon on a wet field and defeat ed her in a pretty game by a score of 5 to 3. The game abounded in errors, caused partially by the wet grounds and the heavy ball, yet it was full of interest and excitement Carolina forged ahead in the first three innings and kept the lead un til the end, but the daring- base running- of the Lafayette men made it extreme!' dangerous for us when they got on bases, and kept the lead until the last man was retired. The same game with Ding-ham would not have been so interesting, but owing to the lact that it was Lafayette whom we were playing, and to the fact that we owe them several beatings the game was espec i a 1 1 y interesting. Carolina presented her strongest appearance, especially in regard to her battery. Cunningham did the twirling and James. W., the receiv ing. It will be remembered, that James was ruled off by the faculty committee on athletics on account of his having" received remunerations for playing summer ball. The reg ular Varsity catchers, Rogers and Moore, both being- disabled, the committee reversed their former rul ing in the case of Lafayette, on the ground that we had no special ath letic rules with that institution. Lafayette consented to his playing. James filled up the gap well, and considering-the fact that this was the first time he had had on uniform for a month, he handled Cunning ham's delivery in excellent style. Cunningham pitched a wonderful game for Carolina. Only 30 men faced him, he fanned 7 and allowed only three hits, one of these being a scratch. His five free passes were due to the slippery condition of the ball. NewBerry, Lafayette's star pitcher, also pitched fine ball, con sidering circumstances. He was hit rather freely by the Varsity, but kept the hits well scattered. The game abounded in features. For Lafayette, the baserunning of her entire team, Snook and Schnei der in particular, was spectacular, and the fielding of Hawk and Schneider was of the sensational order. For Carolina, the hitting and base running of Cakler, a "squeeze play" executed by Thomp son and Harris, and the work of Captain Stem at first bag were the prominent features. Thus runneth the story of the game: First inning: Carolina takes the bat. Calder gets in front of one of NewBerry's fast ones and walks to first. On James, J. D.'s sacrifice, Calder goes all the way to third, making- a beautiful slide under the third baseman. A passed ball lets Calder score the first run of tin game. Story fans. Patterson ant Thompson rach first on errors of the second baseman, and Stem is hit by a pitched ball. With th bases loaded, Harris fans. Snook walks and goes to" second on a passed ball. Kiusey fans. Hawk and Wack ground out to Stem, both being bad chances. Second inning: James VV. is hit by a pitched ball and runs to se cond while Cunny is being- retiree at first. Calder hits a fine drive to left and before the ball is return ed he has crossed home plate be hind James. His hit might have fielded on a dry diamond, but as it was back, the left fielder never touched it. Burt. James places a lrcttyT single in centre but is left as Story goes out short to first and Patterson on a pop to NewBerry Peters hits a slow teaser in front of the plate, beats it out, then steals second, goes to third.

Scorer, Orr. ' Dr. Thomas Hume delivered two discourses at the Bantist church in Burlington last Sunday. Two Juniors Test Each Other's Nerve to the Enjoyment of the Crowd and the Peanut Boy. The loungers' bench on the east side of the well was the scene of an unusual happening last Thursday afternoon, one which caused chance passers-by to look, to stop, to won der, and finally to .join the throng. Seated on the bench was the ever present apple and peanut boy, his basket heaped high with bags of the fruit of eastern Carolina soil. By him stood two figures round which ebbed and swayed a crowd shout ing with laughter and hurling at them flashes of wit as they parleyed with each other. One was the long, tall, spectacled individual whom the Juniors call "big chief;" the other was a short, squatty brunette with dreamy-eyes and also of the Junior persuasion. In an evil moment such as comes at times to the best of us, "Bill," . said Mr. Spruill, "here's a quarter for peanuts for the crowd, if you'll cover it with another." "Done," said Bill, in a moment equally evil, yet feeling that in this case to risk nothing was to lose all. Then the fun began, with the parleying-. Each thought he knew just how much nerve the other had Perhaps he did, but the presence of the cheering spectators raised the question as to which required the strongest nerve, to "back down" or to "set up". The climax came fi nally when the tall one with the most exsiccated of exsiccated grins flung down a shining quarter into the basket. With cheerfulness suspiciously boisterous the other followed suit. Grasping their ten packages in their arms they began casting them hither and thither among the crowd as if the quarters which had purchased them were in deed but paltry baubles. The faces of the onlookers, beclouded at first with utter astonishment, lit up with joy as the peanuts were Hung at them, eager hands being laid on the plentiful bags, whose con tents rap idly disappeared. 'Twas a joyful scene joyful with a joy from which the presence of the philanthropic ones detracted not. As for the peanut boy, he was struck dumb by the greatness of his good fortune. He could only grasp the coins tightly and pinch himself to see if the adventure were real. The Shakspere Club. The Club held a meeting of espe cial interest Tuesday evening, March 27. Papers were read on the following subjects: "A Comparison of Moliere's Me thod and Shakspere's, including some review of George Meredith's Conception of Comedy." Dr. Thomas Hume. "Technique in Shakspere's Much Ado about Nothing and Jane Aus ten's Pride and Pcjudice." Mr. H. II. Hughes. "The Relation of the Ballad and the Drama." Mr. J. M. Grainger.
