Mighty Factor in
Carolina Out Hit
Played Bonehead.
Loose field play and general
lack of team work enabled Prince
ton to score a 9 to 3 victory Ovt r
Carolina in Greensboro Wednes
day. It was the opening game for
both teams and one of. them, Car
olina, showed it. A drizzling rain
and a bad field caused the infield
to pull off poor work.
Princeton could not hit Aycock
to any advantage. He went the
ull nine innings and in view of
circumstances did extremely well.
Princeton used three pitchers and
all save Rodgers were affective.
Pendleton, the great football artist,
was easily the star of .the game.
He made three hits, scored three
times himself .and fielded sharply.
Carolina scored in the second
when Long beat out a slow ground
ball,! went to second on a wild pitch,
to third on Johnson's out, and
home on William's" clean ' single.
The other two runs came in the
seventh. Aycock and Thompson
both singled and Captain Edwards'
drive to right brought them home.
Pendleton beat out a hit in the
second and scored from first on
Reed's single to center. Some base
running! In the sixth Princeton
scored twice on a hit batsman, a
base on balls, and a lack of under
standing on part of the Tar Heel
infield. Two runs and not a hitl
In the seventh two' doubles, a
base on balls, an error, and a fail
ure to back up home cost three
runs. Hanks was hit in the ninth
and " Pendleton singled. Reed
brought' them both across with a
double '
Edwards and Williams did some
clever fielding.

SophsEatandNeFreshmen
The Sophomores had their first
banquet at the Inn last Friday
night and the Student Council

That is no sign they didn't eat a
lot, however, and make a great noise
and a bon-fire Th : ' had some
speeches too. Pr;f McKie started
the conversatio ...1 hall by telling of
the attitude f the people of the
state toward the University and
what we should do to remedy it.
O. M. Marsnbnrn replied to this
speech with a bunch of good jokes.
Toastmaster. Woolcott introduced
the next speaker as "Jimmie."
Dr- Royster rose and addressed the
class on "Individualism." He
said individualism was a good
thing, but it might go too far and

is a good thing." B." L. Fields
responded on "The Duty of the

GERRARD HALL.
OLDHAM, MERRIMAN, AND HATCH ARE
ALL CONVICTED OF SLAUGHTER
Four Months Imprisonment Isthe Sentence, but the Judge
Allows Them to Be Hied Out
j to Their Fathers
-Ralph W.; Oldham, of Raleigh,
William L. Merriman, of Wilmington
and; Aubrey. C. ; Hatch, - of . Mount
,01ive; three former students of the
University concerned in the deathof
Isaac .William Rand in a hazing es
capade on September 13, 1912, were
found, guilty of manslaughter by an
Orange County jury in Hillsboro on
March 15, and were each sentenced
by Judge Peebles to four months in
prison . The terms will not be served
however, as authority was given the
county commissioners to hire the boys
out to whomsoever they pleased and
they will be hired out to their fathers.
Arthn r H . Sty ron , of Wil mington ,
the fourth boy brought to trial, was set
free by order of Judge Peebles because
of lack of evidence against him.
. The announcement of the verdict
by the foremam of the jury came at
theend of threehours deliberation and
the decision did not cause much sur
prise . The littte court house in Hills
boro which had been crowded during
the trial was jammed to its utmost ca
pacity when the jury filed in to give
its decision. The deciding moment
of the horrible tragedy came "with
intense silence, but withcalmby the
defendants and their fathers.
Immediately after Judge Peebles
had passed the sentence of four
months, which is the minimum un-
er the law, Victor S. Bryan, of
Durham, one of the defending at
torneys, arose and in a few words
thanked the judge for the humane
attitude which he had assumed
towards the young men. Judge
Peebles replied to the expression of
thanks from the attorney of the de
fendents in these words: "I hope
this will be the last case of hazing
in any college or university in North
Carolina. It is incomprehensible to
me that boys brought up as those
boys should go to a poor freshman's
room and take him out of his room,
pour blacking on him, and have fun
at his expense. I am glad of an op
portunity to show these young men
that I have no inclination to be se
vere. I only want to make an ex
ample of this case. I understand
that another boy has been blacked
at the university since this case be
gan- it l naa trie boys that did
that here I certainly would put them
on the roads. "
Although the conviction of man
slaughter carries with it a stigma
and deprives a man of citizenship,
the actual puishment meted out to
Oldham, Hateh.and Merriman by
the court is light. The payment of
the cost in tha case and the hireing
ot the boys to their parents, sums
up the punishment administered in
its last analysis. It was positively
indicated that this will be the meth
od of procedure approved by the
county commisioners when the ap
pointed day conies for hireing them
0ut.
JLr JL iHUOWVi m.nlO Ji
Thus ended a trial memorable in
the history of the University and
State. It establishes a precedent
in regard to the punishment of haz
ing for there is no record of a hazing
controversy being threshed out pre
viously in any court of this state.
! It is the final chapter in what
began as a frolic and ended as a tra
gedy that was sent broad-cast over
the state and nation , and was com
mented upon and discussed every
where. The tragedy was the direct
cause of a sweeping investigation
into the practice of hazing at the
University which resulted in the ex
pulsion of fourstudents besides those
t ried and the suspension of nine more.
mi i i i - ttmi
ine trial Dega" in niusDoro on
Thursday, March 13 and the decision .
of -the jury was announced Saturday
March 15 at 3: 10 P. M. During that
time great crowds thronged to the
court house. Public interest was
keen and the state papers carried
columns of news. The array of le
gal talent included some of the best
in the State. Solicitor S. M. Gattis
of Hillsboro, was associated i n pro
secution by E. J. Justice and E. D.
Broadhurst of Greensboro. The de
fendants were represented by Victor
S. Bryant, of Durham, W. P. Stacy,
Louis Poisson, anb Louis Goodman
of Wilmington, ex-Judge J. S.
Manning and A. L. Wissburg, of
Durham, D. P. Stern, of Greensboro,
and John W. Graham, ot Hillsboro.
The winesses brought out no ma
terial new facts. The familiar story
was gone over of-how the boys,
masked', entered Rand's room after
midnight, took him and his room
mate, Wellons, out to the athletic
field ; of how Rand was put on an
up-turned barrel and told to sing; of
how he fell from the barrel upon a
piece of broken glass which cut his
throat; and of his consequent death.
In charging the jury today Judge
Peebles called attention tc the fact
hat whether young Rand fell off the
barrel during the hazing and was
killed, or the barrel was kicked over
was not a matter for consideration.
If the three men under indictment
masked and with sticks in hand as
produced in the State's testimony,
entered the room of Rand and laid
hands on ? i ; nd against" his will
carried him to ''"' -: .. tic field then
it is the duty of the jary to find a
verdict of guilty," said the court.
The fact that hazing had been prac
ticed at the university for a hundred
years, and that this was the first case
to be trio i in court, it was pointed
out, did :i:' - legate or. change the
laws of the State should not af
fect the jurors in ieaching their
verdict.

Club at the city of Cincinnati on the
