J 1 Vol. 17. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 1,1909. NO. 23 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. THE McNAIR LECTURES AMHERST GETS ONE GAME WE GET THE OTHER ONE N. C. 6--EL0N COLLEGE 5 DR. PATTON OF PRINCETON DE LIVERS THE McNAIR LEC TURES, ON AUTHORITY OF BIBLE, CHURCH, JESUS. AND THE REASON. President Patton of the Theolog ical department of Princeton Uni versity delivered the MacNair lec tures in chapel four nights, last week and Sunday. Dr. Patton's audience was on the increase from night to night until Sunday night we had one more occasion to deplore our lack of an auditorium of suffici ent dimensions. Dr. Patton. Thursday night said that he would divide his subject into four divisions to wit: the authority of the Bible, the au thority of the Church, the authori ty of Jesus, the authority of the reason. On Thursday night he spoke on his first division. He showed with many arguments, ill ustrated by several examples, that were at some times amusing every time clear ond pointed, that Christ ianity resorted for it's authority al ways back to the Scriptures. Dr. Patton took up every class of so called as he said Christians and showed how in each case they must turn to the BibltTfor their au thority or do without it, He em phasized the importance of the theo logian. On Friday night Dr. Patton spoke on his second division, the authority of the church. He first gave his definition of a church as a body of Christians, "organized dis organized or unorganized." Then he attempted to show that the au thority claimed by the several de nominations was illogical. He ad dressed himself particularly to his "own dog" the Presbyterian church. He concluded his remarks Friday night with the assertion that he be-lieved-with the Protestants of long ago that each man had a right to get whatever he pleased out of his Bible. On Saturday night Dr. Patton spoke on the third division of his subject, the authority of Jesus. He went at his subject in the same way as formerly, analysing all the opinions about Jesus and his author ity and showed the fault of each ex cept the true one. On Sunday night Dr. Patton concluded his series of address es with a discussion of the authority of the reason, his lost di vision. He considered cases in which reason was undoubtedly the last resort of the faith, Then he proceeded to compare his theory, that the reason was the ultimate resort of the faith, to some other theories especially those that hold that feeling or will ate the basis of Christianity and truth. The brief account we are aide to give here does not do justice to the ableness of President Patton's addresses and we wish we might speak of them at more length. STEWART PITCHES A FINE GAME CAROLINA HITS WELL BUT FAILS TO GET IN THE NEEDED RUNS. The first Amherst game was one of the best contests ever witnessed on the local field. Stewart was the brightest luminary of the contest. He moved down fifteen of the Am herst batsmen with his awful "spit ter", which was breaking fine, ajd allowed only four hits. Vernon also pitched a fine game and kept his hits Well scattered. Washburn at third and Pennock at short play ed a star fielding game for Amherst. Carolina had several chances to score, but failed to take advantage of them. The attendance was of that size that maketh the heart of the man.v ager glad.

AMHERST HAD A WILD PITCHFR MOREOVER CAROLINA HAD THE GOODS INFIELD ESPECIALLY. jThe main features of the second game was the playing of the Caroli na infield which worked like a charm. Armstrong caught a line drive which was going at a mile a minute rate, and made several other nice stops. Winn and Duncan pull ed off two fast double plays and got everything that came their way "Ham" went down iii the dust after balls. His work reminded one of the days when Earle Holt covered the initial corner. Moore caught a good l game. He broke up the game by throwing Captain Jube out at second in the ninth. Duncan used his club to advantage, getting a double and two singles out of three times up. Vernon was in the lime-light for Amherst. He lined out three two-base hits, but was so unfortunate on one occasion as to fail to touch first base and was called out. Duls pitched excellent ball in all except the final inning. He had fine control, walking only one man. Mclnerney was almost wild as a certain man who is said to have liyed in Borneo. He yielded four passes, hit one batsman, and seemed to find difficulty in locating the rubber throughout the game. The rooting at the both games was good, and the Cheer -leaders deserve praise for their work. Detailed account of game. First inning: Jube safe on Wads- worth's error.

POOR GAME SATURDAY WE MAKE NO EXCUSES TWO BASEBALL FARCES LAST FRIDAY. The game with Elon College Saturday was won by the 'Varsity by a score of 6 to 5. With the ex ception of , the seventh inning the game was well played. In this in ning Carolina made four errors, and the visitors sent as many runners across the plate. Duls pitced five innings and held the visitors to two hits and no runs. Stewart, who relieved him, did not have his usual control, but would have held Elon scoreless if he had been given the proper support. Moore led the hitting with a triple and two singles to his credit. The score by innings: Score by innings : II. II. E. Carolina 002 201 Olx 7 5 Elon 000 000 410 5 8 7 Batteries: Brandon and Rowe; Duls, Stewart and Moore. Summary: Earned runs, Carolina 2. Three base hit, Moore. Triple play, Smith to Fearington. Double play, Winn to Hamilton. Umpires, Moore and Wrenn. Time of game, 2 hours. ' Two farces came off last Friday afternoon. The Soph-Pharmacy game, and the line up of the Seniors against the 'Varsity. The pharma cy team made about as many errors as the sophomores made runs. The seniors made a few more than any team ever did, or will. No man on either team was selfish, everybody got his chance to make errors and made them. Those starring in making errors for the pharmacy team were: the shortstop, who shall be nameless, and the rest of the team for whom there is no space. For the seniors Coffin and Watt were especially rotten, but were aided by the out field to a great extent. Did the Tar Heel ever tell anyone that it was a third baseman? We hope not. The Soph-Pharmacy game had a score of 17 to 5 in favor of the Soph omores. The scorer is not yet done counting the runs made by the 'Var sity. The seuiors had not scored when the paper went to press. The boys, from Johston Counfy met Saturday night and organized with sixteen or eighteen charter members. The following officers were elected: E. W. Turlington, President; L. G. Stevens, Vice President; and J. II. Rand, Secreta ry and Treasurer. The Club will meet semi-monthlv. The 'Varsity goes up against Col gate Thursday and Friday. Lafay ette will play here Saturday and Monday. Both nines are said to be very strong. Hedgepeth is now eligible to play and will probably work in one of those games. That hard-hitting Villanova team will in vade these parts next Thursday.
