Four Events out of Thirteen
In the first meet of the season
Carol ina showed a most promising
track team by overwhelming A .
and M. in Raleigh Saturday, April
5, 80 to 36. From the first event
there was never any doubt as to the
out-come; the only question was the
size of the score. Nat Cartmell's
lx)ys ran, jumped, vaulted, heaved,
and threw with a skill and an en
durance that swept their Farmer
opponents off their feet. Out of
the thirteen events the White and
Blu of Carolina showed first in
nine, in seven events Carolina ran
first and second; and in the half
mile, Spence, Whiting, and Ranson
finished in the order named without
serious opposition.
Woollcott stands out as the biggest
point winner. He won the high
hurdles and the high jump, tied for
first place with Struthers in the low
hurdles, and finished third in th
broad jump. Close benmd him in
individual skill was Spence with
first place in the half, and in the
mile. " Baby" Sears had things
his own way in the 100 and ran
second to Caliborne Smith in the
220.
Smith's performance was the best
of the new men and he promises to
show better work later on. Wrignt
a Freshman, took second in- both
jumps and at that he was not up to
his best form.
Captain Floyd of A. M. won
both the hammer throw nnd the
shot put His distance of 120 ft. 6
1-4 inches for the hammer was ex
cepional. A. and M. 's other fitsts
came from Briggs' broad jump and
Nichol's quarter.

H C. LONG MANAGER
Mebane and Pruden Elected
Assistants in Basketball
At a poorly attended Athletic As
sociation meeting Tuesday H. C.
Long, Jr. was almost unanimously
elected mrnager of next year's
basketball team over his opponent
"Ratty" Ranson. G. A. Mebane and
W. D. Pruden Jr. were elected as
sistants, George Carrington proposed two
amen .men ts which are intended to
change the method of electing ath
letic team managers. Instead of
limiting the candidates to former as
sistant managers it is proposed to
make any Senior or Post-graduate
who is a member of the Association
eligible. These amendments will be
voted upon at the next meeting.
The Association endorsed practi
cally unanimously the proposition
of establishing a compulsory athletic
fee. The Greater Council is behind
the movement.
PROFESSOR HOLMES WILL SPEAK
On Thursday and Friday, April
17th and 18th the University will
have the opportunity of hearing
Joseph A. Holmes, Director of
Mines at Washington, and for many
years Professor of Geology here at
the University. On Thursday night
Professor Holmes will speak before
the -Elisha Mitchell Society; on
Friday night he will speak in Ger
rard Hall under the auspices of the
Faculty Committee on Lectures on
the subject of the Panama Canal.
He will illustrate both lectures
with lantern slides. Professor
Holmes is a master in his field and
and his talks should be interesting.
WHAT! AN INTERESTING GLASS GAME!
The Juniors and Seniors played
a ball game a week or so ago and
each side made runs until they got
tired, only the Seniors got tired
first. A few days later the Meds
and Pharmacy had a game just like
it, only more so. But for a real.
classy class game take the Fresh
Soph game last Saturday. For eight :
innings the score sew-sawed back
and forth to come to rest at 5 to 5
In their half of the ninth the Fresh'
es counted once. Then Lipscomb
got on, stole second ana died on
home trying to score on a single. I
The game ended 6 to 5. Edgerton's!
stick work waa a feature. The two
pitchers, Royster for the Freshmen,
and Lipscomb for the Sophs, both
pitched a steady game.

The Virginia games are at hand
and the crest of the Reason is reach
ed. :y
The usual tremendous crowds
are expected. Greensboro has
always fundshed the biggest crowd
and this year will be 'no exception.
The annual excursion train will be
run from Chapel Hill and interven
ing towns. It will ; leave Chapel
Hill at 8 A. M. The round trip
fare is $1.50
Raleigh is making every effort to
out strip Greensboro in the atten
dance. This is the first year that
a Carolina-Virginia game has been
played in Raleigh an4 the Capitol
City is on a trial. Charlotte and
Winston-Salem were foresaken be
cause they did not furnish enough
people. The Carolina Glee Club
will give a concert at the Auditor
ium and afterwards there will be a
big dance with free tickets distrib
uted to University men.
The team has rounded into splen-
din form for these all-important
games. From a raw organization at
the first of the season, handicapped
by an inexperienced battery, the
team has developed slowly into one
that will compare favorably with
any previous Tar Heel aggregation.
In steadiness and team work won
derful improvements have been
made. The hitting ability has
always been present, and now that
it is being more scientifically dir
ected, improvements may be ex
nected. The pitching staff has
; shown itself capable of checking
; opposing batters. Aycock, an un
known class team pitcher at the
beginning of the season, promises
. to rank alongside of ' Red Stewart
,
Raymond Lee.- His no-hit
came against Trinity and his two
hit game against Davidson proved
, his worth. He will probably be
Carolina's cnoice lor tne opening
game in Greensboro. Graves and
Craven are the other two possibilit
ies with Graves showing the better
form. He is an no certain to face
Virginia in onr-oiMne games
Behind tbs Lit Julian Hart will
hold sway. He has improved since
the first game and is a hard work
ing catcher, while his hitting has
always been prominent.

THREE GAMES RIGHT
Davidson Succumbs Twice
and V. M. I. Once
Aycock's pitchi.g was too much for
Davidson and Carolina won in Char
lotte Saturday, -4 to 1. While
Davidson's three pitchers yielded
only six hits, they came along with
passes and errors. Carolina did not
display much energy, but did take
advantage of most of her chances.
Onlv once did Aycock get in a
hole. In the second, Cray ton's boun
der jumped over William's head and
Cravton went on to second when.
Thompson fumbled in left. With
erington and Brown drew passes,
filling the bases. Kluttz hit to short
and Edwards threw wild to home,
allowing Cray ton to score. The
next two batters were easy. The
only other hit off Aycock came in
the ninth and it did no harm.
In Carolina's half of the second
with two down Thompson hit a hard
drive to center. Fast fielding
might have cut it down to a single,
but the ball rolled past Whitner
and Thompson circled the bases.
Another run was added in the
third. Avcock walked and after
Baily went out, Leak walked also.
Edward's drive to short was fumbied
long enough to allow Aycock to
score. ;
In the fourth Thompson's groun
der was booted. Hart's sacrifice
advanced him and Baily 's clean
single to center brougt him home.
Davidson substituted Osteen for Mar
row in the fifth after Aycock and
Baily had walked. Two passed
balls advanced Aycock to third and
home for the final run. Bell re
placed Osteen and stopped the scor
ing. He showed the best form of
the trio.
Aycock pitched steadily after the
second inning and was never in trou
ble. Williams fielded cleanly and
made one pretty stab. Hart threw
out the only attempted stealer.
Carolina ran away from V. M.
I. Tuesday and won as she pleased,
12 to 5. The Virginia boys put
up but little defencive against the
slugging of the Tar Heels, and er
rors at critical times helped , raise
the score. Craven, in the box for
Carolina, made no effort to puzzle
tne batsmen, but simply floated
the balls over to them. The Carol
ina outfield consequently had plenty
of work, and Bailey and Thomp
son pulled down several long ones
V. M. I. started out with two
runs in the second inning on two
errors and a double by McCormick.
Their other three runs came in the
eight inning on hits by Bryan,
Graham, and Clarkson and a sac
rifice sly.
Carolina sent four runners across
in the second inning on two errors
a sacrifice and safe drives by John
son, uraven ano JueaK. in ine
fourth Knowles hit safely, Craven
sacrificed and Bailey's single brought
in tne run. liaiiev scored on a
wild throw to third. In the fifth
two errors by McCormick and a
wild throw by Gillespie, coupled by
lits by Johnson and Williams
brought three more runners home
The final three runs came in the
eight on au error, a hit batsman,
and singles by Edwards, Johnson,
and Williams. Johnson for Carol
ina hit Safely four times out of five
times at bat. Pitts catching of

Than the Recent High School
Debating Union
The State High School track meet
to be held here Friday will be a fit
ting sequel to the debate of last

125 and' 150 are expected, will be
roomed throughout the college and
will be boarded by the Greater Coun
cil. The students, ' Facualty, and

rather heavy. There will be three
cups awarded, one for any team
securing the greatest number of
points, another for the winning
