VIRGINIA WESLEYAN 10 TO 5, AND HAVERFORD COLLEGE 12 TO 2 CAROLINA'S HITTING EFFECTIVE Barnes, Bennett, Weeks Clear Fence for Homers, While Stuart and . Herty Put Up Star Field ing Game " v A big opening with the stick enabled Carolina to get half her total number of runs in the first frame of the game with the West Virginians here Thursday. Lantz was a easy victim from the begin ning and gave the Tar Heel swat artists little trouble. Carolina bunched hits again in the fourth and two runs crossed the plate. Wesley an was unable to score until the fourth, when Daniel and Beck walked, and Mc Clure, the visitors' hard hitting catcher, drove one into left field. Coach Ilearn's boys found Wag ner, who relieved Lantz in the seventh, for three more runs. Stuart got on first on an error, Herty sacrificed, and Barnes and Bennett each contributed a home run. Powell wavered again in the seventh and a walk and three hits gave the Methodists two more tal lies. The game was slow and ragged in places, but the hard hitting of the home product made the contest interesting, if somewhat one-sided.

The negative team will de bate Virginia atBaltimore. The date set for the final clash is April 1. The debate here will be be tween Virginia and Hopkins. The query to be discussed this year is, Resolved, , That, constitu tionality granted, legislation re quiring compulsory arbitration of all controversies arising between employers and employees of rail ways engaged in inter-state com merce, and making strikes and lock-outs on such railways illegal, should be enacted. The judges for the preliminary were Professors A. C. Mcintosh, J. G. deR. Hamil ton, L. P. McGehee, M. H. Stacy and W. W. Pierson. Other can didates who took part in the con test were A. M. Lindau, V. F. Williams, C. B. Hyatt and E. E. Duncan. The judges declared the try-out to be the most spirited con test held here in several years. Dr. Henry Louis Smith Delivers Lecture Here "A Man's Personality" was the theme of the lecture given in Ger rard Hall last Sunday night, by Dr. Henry Louis Smith, President of Washington and Lee Universi ty. Dr. Smith is a very strong speaker, and his audience was un usually large. He enumerated as the four prime elements which constitute a man's personality, courage, ener gy, love, spirituality, or height, and love. ' '" ' "You can't accomplish great things with a splitting headache," he said, by way of introduction. A man's body is his only machine, and if it gets out of order, his usefulness is impaired." "Courage is the backbone of a man's personality," was Dr. Smith's first proposition. He ex horted his hearers to assert them selves, to recognize the things which seem hardest for them and then to deliberately do them Until they become easy and habitual. "Energy is the inner force which impels a man to work, not because he has to, but because he wants to. Energetic men may be compared to locomotives, industri ous men to box cars. One leads, the other is led." That which lifts one above the commonplace; which relieves the monotony of routine existence, is the faculty of getting away from the material, or as Dr. Smith ex pressed it, "height" It is the (Continued on Page Six) MILITARY TRAINING CLAIMS OVER FIVE HUNDRED MEN TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY RI FLES NOW ON WAY TO CHAPEL HILL The two hundred and fifty rifles which were ordered from the Gov ernment last week to supply the University's training corps have been shipped, and are expected at any time. In the meantime the drilling will go on as usual until the rudiments of drilling are mas tered. As yet there has been no relax ation ." in the enthusiasm which characterized the organization of the unit last week. The atten dance on drill , has been almost perfect and not a man has with drawn. More than five hundred men are drilling two nights a week regularly, and the members con tinue to increase. Nor is the drill ing confined to the one-hour drill periods. Any time during the day or night the commands of officers and trample of feet can be heard from all parts of the campus, and the halls of the dormitories are be ing utilized as drilling grounds. More room for drill was provid ed this week by illuminating the large athletic ground -back of the South Building, i and the ' square space between the Library and Fraternity Row is also being used by the squads. The officers report that their men are intensely interested and are making exceptional progress. Within a short time the squads (Continued on Page Five) DISCUSSION GROUPS TO HEAR REV. C. L. KING The Y. M. C. A. discussion group, next Tuesday night will be addressed by Rev. C. L. King, a student in Union Seminary at Richmond. Mr. King is consider ed probably the most effective speaker among the students of that institution, expected. A large audience is Tug-of- War Takes Place Junior Week The Tug-of-War is to be held on April 12, so that the visiting ladies may see their valiant cham pions in action. This will not be a full dress affair, and anyone wearing full-dress, or white trous ers will not be allowed to partici pate. The ladies will think more of you if they see you in your working togs; or at least: they will get a real line on you in your na tive element. Those on the losing team will be afforded an opportun ity to show their . swimming prowess. Everybody get together and let's make this a big event. Each class is to be represented by fifty men the bigger, the better. A, fathomless mud-hole will sep arate the contestants. Who is go ing in? It is rumored that "Cutie" Price and John Terry will occupy the first knots for the Juniors, while "Villa" Cu'rrie and "Bill" Grimes are anticipating the sopho more side of the affair. An honest man . cannot be bought Every man ha3 his price. Life. Class of '18 Preparing to Enter New Dorms Will Get Together in the Last Year of Their College Life and Get Acquainted In a meeting of the junior class last Wednesday afternoon it was proposed that the rising senior class should get together next year and concentrate in the new dorm itories. Such a plan, they believe, will certainly strengthen the class as a unit, and allow every man to come in close touch with his fel low classmates during his last year at college. The benefit that a man derives from hi s college career, through : his association with other men, it was argued, is not; to be despised. This scheme is calculated to further that branch of a man's education. The class now has an option on all the rooms in the new dormi tories. ' These may be registered for at the Y. M. C. A. on Wed nesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week between 2 and 3 P. M. The. rate for two men in a room will be one hundred dollars a year, or fifty dollars per man. For three men to a room the rate will be one hundred and fifteen dol lars a year, or thirty-eight dollars apiece. Since these dormitories are to be connected to . the new heating system next year it is pro bable that there will be . no com plaint about lack of heat and .hot water. Furthermore the accom modations are far superior to those in the other dormitories. "Come early and sign up for a good room during your senior year among a crowd of your own classmates" is the war cry of the rising seniors. Speakers Selected For Commencement The commencement speakers have been selected as follows : Dr. W. D. Moore, President of the Presbyterian Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, will preach the Bacculaureate sermon, and Secretary of War Baker will de liver the commencement address. In case of war, Secretary Baker states that he may not be able to fill his engagement. If he should not be able to be here some col legiate orator will probably take his place as our commencement is early enough not to interfere .with that of other Universities. THE LOST AND FOUND BUREAU The following unclaimed -articles are at 'the Y. M. C. A. Lost and Found Bureau: . 2 one dollar bills, a J unior In gersol, pair glasses in case, a gold ring with blue set in it and ini tials F. Y. W. inside, a medical pin with the letters K. K. on it, some knives, several hats and caps, and a few cuff buttons. Call for these articles any' day at 2:15. The "paci" adds a happy touch; But, all the same, we find it Just doesn't seem to matter much Without the "fist" behind it. Strive not against the stream! He who would reach the top first must climb the hill. Ex. FREDERICK PALMER HERETHURS. NIGHT FAMOUS WAR CORRESPONDENT LECTURES IN GERRARD HALL ILLUSTCATCS WITH PICTURES Showing the Place of Battles and the Various Methods of Fighting on , the Western Front Frederick Palmer, the famous war correspondent, who "has seen more modern warfare than any other American writer," according to Roosevelt, will lecture here on April 5. It was only with much difficulty that Mr. Palmer was induced to come to Chapei Hill and so far he has filled no other engagements in the South. He will deliver a pri vate lecture before the War Col lege in Washington just before he comes here. ' Mr. Palmer's work as a war cor- respondent is well known, and he V is usually regarded as the greatest of all war correspondents at the present time. He has been on all the battle fronts of the war and was y on the Western ''. f ron t in France from the beginning, of the Somme offensive until November 1, 1916. He had the freedom of the field, as ho other American cor respondent has had, with the Bri tish and French official motion pic tures. He will tell his experiences as an eye witness of the battles of J the Somme and around Verdun. He will talk 45 minutes and then give a running comment with the moving pictures, explaining the conditions of contemporary war fare. The place of battles and methods of fighting will ' be made clear. - '" ' ' Mr. Palmer has written several books on the war, one of his best being "My Year of the Great War.' He has been in every great war of recent years. Since his return from the front he has lectured only iii ' large cities, but Prof. Archibald Henderson,' of the lectnre committee here, finally per suaded him to come to North Caro lina. High Schools Enter ; Tennis Tournament That the interscholastic tennis tournament will be hotly contested this year, is 'shown by the fact that the following high ' schools have already entered teams for singles and;' doubles: .Premont, Normal, Raleigh, Greensboro, Oak Ridge, and Chapel Hill. The contest will take 5 place' on the Hill in connection with the debat ing union, April 19 and 20. Dr. . Archibald Henderson will speak at Charlotte, April 13, un der the auspices , of the Mecklen burg County' Alumni Association. Prof. J. H; Johnston will de liver the commencement address at the Merry Oaks School, April 18. Everybody feels for the under dog.' " ' ' When a man is down everybody jumps on him. Life. ;.,. i .-'1. ;.
