TAR I H K VJUo Vol. 15. CSIVERSIIY (IF SOUTH CAROUSA, CHAPEL JILL, 8. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 18,. 1907. So. 26. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. TAR HEELS DEFEAT TECHS. GAME NOT WON UNTIL ELEV ENTH INNING. Timely Bunching of Hits Decides . Contest 6 to 4 in Carolina's Favor. Carolina's athletes proved their mettle Thursday by winning- an up hill game over V. P. I. t- the tune of 6 to 4. It took eleven innings to do it, and , it was not until the eighth that the Varsity really woke up. To that stage of the game the score stood 4 to 0, all in 'favor of the Techs, V. P. I. securing a lead of three runs in the first, but in the last of the eighth Carolina took three runs and then tied the score in the ninth. In the eleventh James, 'Fountain, Thompson, and Story pounced upon Russell for four successive hits and broke up the game. Morrow pitched the first six in nings for Carolina, when Thomp son relieved him with three men on bases and retired the side in one-two-three order. The visitors suc ceeded in lidding- only one hit after the change. Had Morrow received the backing accorded his successor, however, it would never have been .. ucccessary to stretch the gameto eleven innings. Story, Rogers, Thompson, . and Fountain showed up especially well in their work straig-ht though the game. Score by iuning-s: J R. II. E. Carolina 0000000810 26 11 5 V. P.

GEORGE WASHINGTON WINS. DECISION OF COMMITTEE NOT UNANIMOUS. The Speakers and Judges Brief of the Debate Tar Heels Banqueted. In the George Washington-Carolina debate, held in the Belasco Theater, Washington, D. C, last Friday afternoon, Messrs. A. C. Hindman, of Pennsylvania, and F. D. Coudon. of Massachusetts, Georg"e Washington's speakers, won by a two to one vote of the commit tee. The query was stated as fol lows: "Resolved,, That the owner ship and operation of interstate railways by the national govern ment would subserve the best inter ests of the people of the United States," Carolina having the af: firmative. The decision was left to Gen. John C. Black, president of the civil service commission, Mr. John Barrett, director of the bureau of American republics, and Prof. S. N. Patten, of the University of Pennsylvania. At the conclusion of the debate each of the judges wrote his decision on a slip of paper and sealed it in an envelope. These wercthen opened by ,, Commissioner of Labor, C P. Neill. the presiding officer, and the majority decision announced by him. Mr. R. C. Day was the first speaker. He took the theory of the affirmative, showing that the char acter of the railways differed in such a way from those of other ele ments of industry that they should properly be owned by the govern ment. Mr. Hindman, who opened for the negative, confined himself to showing that the burden, of the proof lay on the affirmative side, and to pointing out the enormous expense that would be connected with the purchasing- of the rail ways. Mr. W. P. Stacy resuming for the affirmative, took up the practicability of the government ownership, proposing- a bureaucrat ic svstem of management. Mr. Couden concluded the debate by pointing out the evils, social and political, of the proposed system, and by calling- attention ag-ain to the fact that the burden of the proof lay on the affirmative. The rebut tal speeches were made in the same order as the first speeches. Messrs. Day and Stacy presented or gauic argument, their opponents treating the question from a purely technical basis. The work of Carolina's team was accorded much praise by the Washington press. After the debate the Carolina speakers were given a most enjoy able banquet at The Sign, of the Fox by the Tar Heel Club of George Washington University. Ice cream at Pickard & Strowd's tvtry day. THE VIRGINIANS VICTORIOUS. CAROLINA LOSES FIRST GAME BY SCORE OF 1 TO 5. The Game Marked by Plenty of Errors Thompson Does His Part. The University of Virginia de feated the University of North Car olina nine at Charlottesville Monday by the score of 5 to 1. The game was a pretty one, although each team made its share of errors. Vir ginia made two runs in the first inning- and added the remaining three in the sixth. Carolina scored her one run in the second on an error. Fulton did the pitching for Vir ginia, and Thompson for Caroliua. ; HofFs fielding- of fouls was the feature for Virginia. Thompson's three-bagger and Morrow's beau tiful running catch in left were the sensations for Carolina. Virginia led; in the hitting, making- 5 to the Tar Heels' 3. Tabulated score: Virginia It. H.

THREE NORTHERN GAMES GO V TO ADVERSARIES Carolina Plays Clean Ball, Never theless Danville Leaguers Praise Tar Heels Out of the four games on the Northern trip the Varsity has had the misfortune to lose three. The scores were: Danville League 4, Carolina 3; U. Va. 5, Carolina 1; Georgetown 6, Carolina 0. All of the games have been exhibitions of clean ball, however, and reflect credit on the team. From the way the . first inning started at Danville Saturday the prospects looked big- for the squad, for in that inning four successive hits by James, Montgomery, Thompson, and Rogers, netted Carolina three earned runs. The bo3's held the game until the ninth, when they allowed the leaguers to add three to the one they scored in the second and lost the game. That the Varsity showed up well beside the professionals is proved by the following clipping from the Danville Register of the 14th: "Carolina played good ball from the very beginning- of the game, and showed one of the fastest aggrega tions that has. been seen here for some time. . In the field, the men were quick and alert, at the stick they worked well. The Chapel Hill lads played clean, g-entlemanly ball, and impresssd all with their manliness and love of clean sport." The result of the Virginia game is told in another column. , At Washington Tuesday Carolina suf fered again, g-oing- down in defeat at the hands of Georg-etown Universi ty by the score of 6 to 0. The feat ures of the g-ame for Georgetown were the pitching of Cantwell and the hitting of Simon, who hit a home run with one man on base. The features for Carolina were pretty catches by Davis in centre and Fountain on the third comer. Carolina had men on bases in almost everr inning, but the necessary hit could not be made. The games by innings: R. H. E. Danville 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 7 8 Carolina. 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 8 3 Batteries: Carolina, Morrow and Rogers; Danville, Ham, Sterzerand O'Connor. It. II. E.

No news had been received from the George Washington g-ame of yesterday when The Tar Heel went to press. Miss Daisy Allen, '07, went to Raleigh Saturday to accept a posi tion as chemist for the State Geol ogical Survey. Miss Allen will return to the Hill some time in May to graduate with her class,
