Up to the eighth inning of the

Captain Woodall decided we need
ed a run or so, and proceeded to
smash oul a home run. This
started a rally that netted six
runs and the game. Mac Lewis
got a three bagger with one on,
and Marshall Williams got a bat

with four hits in five trips.
Captain Woodall celebrated his
last appearance in college base
ball by playing every position
during the game, including the
pitcher's position. As this was
the last game of the season and
an easy one, Captain Woodall al

SHIELDS IS CAPTAIN
Carolina's Premier Pitch
er Will Lead Team
Captain Woodall Plays His
Last College Base Ball
Sliortly after the final game of
the season last Saturday, Leon
Shields, Carolina's star pitcher
was elected captain of the base
i ball team for next year. The
ability of Captain Shields to play
tw0 positions, pitch or play short,
either ol which he can do most
creditably, makes him well fitted
for the position of captain.
Shields won seven of the eight
games he pitched this year and
for his splendid work on the
' mound, he well deserves the hon
or his team mates have . given
him. It is not definitely known
yet how many of the old. mem
bers of the team will return next
year. Capt. Woodall is the only
members who will be ineligible,
hc i,aviiig played four years in
college base ball. It is with
Uiuch regret that the Carolina
slluicnt body sees "Woody" leave
the tcam. por nie past two
years he has shown himself to be
not only the best catcher in the
state) nut an all round good fel-
ow

one of the best in years. Of the

By scoring, a total of 64 joints
Carolina was easily the winner
j in the annual state track meet
' which was held in 'Durham last
Monday. Fourteen events were
held and in nine of i these Caro
lina won first place. . Three sec
ond places, four third places, and
'two fourth olaces combined to
5make a total of 64 points. Trin
ity came second with 40 points,
A. & M. third with 35 points and
j Wake Forest was fourth- with 14
points.
I Although no records were
broken, and the times as a whole
' were not extra good, the meet
'-was a great success and was
'most interesting. Many of the
'events were extremely close- and
' hard fought, the vlOO yard dash
alTordinr sreat enthusiaism and
'excitement by its closeness
'Johnson of Carolina won this
1 by a few inches, his time being
! 10 3-5 seconds.
! Rattv Ranson won fame for
himself by capturing 'the half
1 mile, which he did by a good
number of yards.
A. & M. won the high jump,
although the height was only 5
ft. 7 in. Woollcott who holds
the state record at 5 ' ) 1-2 tied
with Kanner for second place.
Good time was made on the
two mile, it being .won by Go
forth of Trinity in 10 minntes 33
3-5 seconds. Upchurch of Caro
lina was leading on the next to
1 the last lap but he got a notion
he was on the final lap and began
to sprint. He was unable to
finish the remaining lap after his
sprint and as York, our other
man, lost his shoe, we did not
get a place in this event.
Homewood easily captured first
place in the hammer throw, but
it cost him the pole vault as this
was the next event. After his
exertions with the hammer he
could not go above 10 feet; while
he usually goes -several inches
higher with ease. The pole
vault was won at 10 feet. 1 inch.
Patterson walked away , with
the quarter, taking first place
with very little effort.
The main point getters for Car
olina were Capt. Woollcott, and
Homewood, while Matton va
the feature for Trinity.
The track being a new one was
rather soft and this may account
for no better times being made.
The meet was a decided success,
and the officials did their work
splendidly.
