BENNETT CHOSEN CAPTAIN Team's Batting Average is ,?48 Kirkman, Younce, Bennett, Barnes . and Jeanette over .300 mark -. The well and favorably known "Wop" Bennett has been elected to pilot the Carolina nine for 1917-18. Bennett is one of the best catchers in college baseball and a glance at his healthy aver age speaks convincingly of his suc cess with the stick. "Wap" is a sure1, steady player who suffers no slumps. He's right there in the pinches and on his toes from the time when he first buckles his shin guards until the last ball whizzes over in the ninth. And while speaking of the team it might be mentioned that several of them have slugged themselves into the Haseball Hall of Fame. Bennett, Barnes and Jeanne tte are in the .300 class and tSewart escapes by a hair. - The teams average is .248 and it was found quite sufficient to pile up a total of 89 runs against the opponent's 55. . Stewart leads in the scoring.., The boys , have had a most successful season, winning 11 games and losing 6. The per-; centage is' ".647."

TEAM SHARES HONORS WITH GEORGIA-LOSING LAST GAME Tar Heels Out Class Crackers in First Game 5-0 Loose Second, 10-1, Visitors Hit Hard On last Monday, Carolina laid the first game with Georgia on ice to the tune of 5 to 0. The one sided contest was featured by the all-around playing of the home team. Powell, who received error less support, twirled in masterful fashion, holding the Crackers . to three scattered hits, and causing eleven men to breeze the ozone. Only thirty men faced him during the game. -He also gave the pill a ride for three sacks in the seventh. Feimster's stop in the, seventh, of Rawson's hot grass clipper and the fast double play resulting there from, was a snappy feature. Ste wart had a big day, getting three hits out of four times up. ; Georgia's sid of the story can be told quickly. In five innings their men went out ; in one, two, three order. In , the other four frames, three men reached first, and one reached the second sta tion. In the fourth Wooten rolled a long one through the center-field fence. He had oodles of time to circle the paths, but ground rules brought him back to second. . The three errors of the visitors mater ially helped the score of the White and Blue. , . ': '. . Carolina tallied in the first frame. Stewart nicked West brook for a single, Herty popped (Continued on Page Six) DEAN H. C. TOLMAN DEUVESS EXCHANGE LECTURES HERE ; Dean II. C. Tolman, of Vander bilt University, I spoke on "The Achievement of Life" in, Gerrard Hall Monday night. His addresses here at the first of the week were the last in a series' of exchanges lectures between Vanderbilt and the Universities of South r Caro lina, North Carolina, and Vir ginia. Dean Tolman said that the achievement of one's existence was the attainment of the educational ideal, which was the drawing out of one's life so that the larger messages of the universe could be caught. "It doesn't make so much difference what you are learning but how you are learning. Always follow the sign manual of life, 'learn so as to live, live so as to learn.'" Continuing the speaker said the struggle for education is guided by three great principles: the law of wisdom through struggle, the law of expansion through recep tivity, and the law of growth through self-giving. He said that the law of struggle j was the old doctrine of the survival of the fit test, and if it held true in the great educational ideal then an education was not the accumula tion of facts, for this would reduce a " man to the ; level ; of a phono graphic .plate.
