Strong hitting outfield expected to develop "Baseball games are won by hit ting", and the team will not line up un til every man can use his stick with efficiency", said Coach Lawson wheu asked to give the probable date for lining up. "Fielding can be acquired later", he added, "but batting is the essential thing to a winning team." This, team, solves the question which most interests the student fans at present. All are anxious to see the team at work in practice games, but they recognize the ' wisdom of Dr. Lawson 's view. Team work and good fielding come gradually, almost un consciously, but hitting must be drill ed into a man. Dr. Lawson does by no means decry expert fielding, but he valuas expert hitting more highly. So, as yet it cannot be stated when actual line up will begin, but until it does the work of fashioning a hitting team will continue. The process of tin-canning has been steady and sure. When the first call was issued forty-odd men took the pledge. During the week following the number of names on the pledge reached seventy-one. Last week Dr. Lawson for various and sundry reasons Y.

The Yarborough RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA The first part of King Henry IV was presented to a small audience by Mr. Hannibal A. Williams in Gerrard Hall last Wednesday night. The read ing was one of a ljxeum series con ducted by the Y. M. C. A. and tho the audience was small,' each one presen was delighted with a remarkable rep resentation of one of Shakespeare's masterpieces. Wr. Williams began his career as public render twenty-eight years ago During that time he has given more than three thousand recitals in practi cally every state in the Union. For the past ten years he has confined himself entirely to Shakespeare, his repertory of plays being Othello, The Tempest, Julius Caesar, Henry IV. and many others. During- this time Mr. Williams has gained the reputa tion of being one of the foremost inter preters of Shakespeare in America. In chapel Mr. Williams gave a mas terful interpretation of Shakespeare's best known historical drama. Before beginning his recital he grave a brief but very clear outline of its chief fea tures and now and then during the reading he would slip in an explana tion of a character or a scene that made exceeding plain the whole fabric of the play, yet, was done so skillfully that there was no breaking- of the thread of the story. His style of elo cution is seldom met with in public readers. No shouting or raving about the stage. The whole play was read thru and made plain by a few simple gestures and his voice never reached the ear-splitting pitch so commonly met with yet the transition from one character to another was always per fectly clear. To read well a play one must have a clear conception of the meaning of each character and a proper apprecia tion of the relation of the whole play. These Mr. Williams undoubtedly had. His handling of each of the many different characters of the drama showed a thorough understanding of them. Altho his characterization of each was excellent yet his portrayal of Falstaff and King Henry and Hotspur were preeminently so. In his delineation of Falstaff, the hero of the first part of King Henry IV, Mr. Williams made good his claim to being the greatest living in terpreter of that character. Old Jack Falstaff, gross, gluttonly, selfish,cow ardly, grasping and lieing, as he was yet kept the friendship of all by the humor of his character. The remark able ability of this old mountain of flesh to tell the most remarkable lies on any occasion, his ludicrous predica ment when detected, and his never- failing recovery from every assault upon his honor kept - the house well amused. King Henry was presented as his august majesty the King of England. However weak he may have been in former days he is strong now and he intends to command the respect of all his kingdom. Each word he utters is (Continued on fourth page. ) PROFESSORS ON LEAVE THREE PROMINENT FACUKUY MEMBERS TO VISIT EUROPE Dr. Henderson to England, Prof. Toy to Germany, Dr.Wheeler to Scot land to spend fifteen months Dr., Archibald Henderson, Professor of Pi-ire Mathematics, who was recent ly granted a fifteen month's leave of absence by the Board of Trustees wil spend this time in study and travel in England and Europe.
