A SPECTACULAR SPURT WINS ONE
First Game Listless Fast and Excit
ing Game Snatched from Davidson
Lynch Stars S. C. Smothered by
Tar Heel Teamwork and Speed
Returning from a hard trip on
which three games were lost, the
Carolina quint closed the season
on the homo court with three
straight victories, . winning from
Guilford, Davidson and South
Carolina. Each game showed a de
cided advance of the team over the
last. The Davidson game was a
beautiful exhibition of fast, ag
gressive playing. In the South
Cax'olina game the 'varsity showed
more dash than in any game of the
season and easily piled up 32
points to their opponents' 3 in the
first half.
In a slow and listless game Car
olina defeated the Guilford Col
lege quintet by the score of 31 to
19. . Carolina seemed to have dif
ficulty in finding herself, especial
ly during the first half. Her pass
ing in this half was poor ,and her
inability to handle the ball cost hex
several goals.
The team played better during
the second half, but the team-work
which downed Georgia was lack
ing. During the last ten minutes
of play both teams played bang-up
ball.
Groome played the best game
for Guilford. Guilford's guarding
was good. The line-up:

Fouls : Lynch, 5 out 'of 10 ;
Jones, 3 out of 8. Referee, Car
rington. A successful spurt int.be last ten
minutes of play gave the Carolina
quint a 28-22 victory over David
son College last Thursday.
The game was a beautiful exhi
bition of pretty passing on the part
of the home five ,and of successful
dribbling and shooting on the part
of the Davidson team. King, right
forward for the visitors, was re
sponsible for 16 of their 22 points.
He shot equally well with either
hand and put up the best game for
Davidson.
The Carolina team regained its
form for the first time since the
Georgia game. The passing was
fast and accurate and the shooting
was much improved. With the score
17-13 against them the end of the
first half, the home boys went in
and held the visitors to two field
goals for the whole of the second
half. Lynch found the basket with
great accuracy during the game,
and the ball was "fed" to him
throughout. He obtained ten field

Good Speeches Heard
by 1919 Banqueteers
Brilliant speeches and excellent
arrangements were the chief fea
tures of the second banquet of the
class og 1919 held in Swain Hall
last night.
A hollow rectangle, filled with
evergreens, was the form in which
the tables were arranged where
Juniors assembled to feel the unit
ing bonds of a strong class spirit
and to enjoy addresses from the
patriotic touch was added by the
decorations and the favors. In the
middle of the rectangle was a large
American flag from which radiated
streamers of maroon and white, the
class colors. The favors were a
sensible departure from custom.
Instead of horns and rattles, there
was at each plate a small, silken
U. S. flag, fitting souvenir of a ban
quet made i memorable by its pa
triotic speeches. At each outside
corner of the rectangle was a white
column, and strings of colored
light were hung between these.
More evergreens were banked high
ehind the columns.
The toastmaster, President
Hazelhurst, introduced the speak-
era. Uean otacv made tne nrst
peech, taking as his subject, "Am
bition." He discussed in a vivid
manner the ambition of the boy,
man, class, and nation. He con
cluded by showing how helpful an
ambition is, and that all these
kinds should bo correlated. W. E.
Price made the response.
Dr. Moss spoke on "The Ele
mental Man," the man who goes
out for the essential things in life,
the things that count. The aim of
the University, he said, is to pro
duce such men. Miss Virginia
McFadyen responded.

SHOWNEW FEATURES

of the Minstrel Association have,
with the advent of spring, emerged

"Business Manager Folsom has
written to twenty of the principal
towns in thisstate and South Car
olina for prospective Red Cross
benefits, and already enthusiastic
replied are being received. Band
Master Parker is arranging the
big parade which will be one of
this year's features, and the latest
pieces of popular and rag time mu-f-ic
are being practiced. Orchestra
Leader Lindsey is looking over the
orchestra which will number twelve
pieces, and contain several instru
ments new to Chapel Hill audi
ences. Stage Managers Johnston
and Burton are overhauling the
scenery and electrical effects to de
cide what is to be added to that de
partment. Two try-outs for the new men
have been held so far and thirty-'
'dx applicants have come out. Di
rector Jordan says the material
this year is very promising and he
promises several surprises for this
v ear's show.
Patriotism is to be the keynote
of the production, and series of
patriotic tableaux together with a
patriotic opening overture, and the
latest and best
"war"
songs will
aive quite a martial
air to
the
whole offering.
Among the
new acts will be,
"The Darktown Cabaret," a dar
key dancing divertisement which
promises to eclipse last year'.s
dancing success; an electrical act

Many Contesting for
i Positions on Diamond

Places on the Team First Game
March 2S
With the coming of the warm,
spring-like days, all the pent-up ea
gerness to swing the bat and handle
the horse-hide has broken loose and
the athletic field has been the scene
of considerable activity.
"Baseball practice is coming on
well," says Captain Jack Powell
arid Coach Hearne. A large num
ber of students are out for the
team, so that every position is be
ing hotly contested. The pitchers
are Powell, Joyner, Willis, Swift
and Steele. Yonnce, Spaugh and
Adams are showing up well for the
position behind the plate. Beanie
Kinlaw, of last year's pitching
staff, will be unable to come out on
account of his work.
At first base Bryant and Henry
are showing good. form. C. Hold
ing and Grandin are coming out
for that position soon. Fiemster
is coming out regularly and is do
ing well at his old place at third.
Ilerty is back at short, and Cordon,
Boren, Lenoir and several others

for second base. As usual a good
many are trying out for the out
field. . Harden, Pippin, Lewis and

The cast above is 'the one for this
year's offering, "The Man of the
Hour." The cast has been selected
for over a week and rehearsals are
progressing satisfactorily. The cast
this year is larger than usual and
is composed mostly of new actors
and "actorines." The new mate-,
rial, however, is very promising
and an excellent prosentation is
looked forward to.
The play is from the pen of
George Broadhurst, the author of
"What Happened to Jones", which
will be remembered here, and sev
eral other. notable successes. The'
plot deals with the efforts of the
political bosses to control the man
they have made mayor, and how
he turns against them and their
ring, governs the city honestly, ex
poses their grafting ,and in the
end, of course, wins the love of
the heroine.
The participation this year of
the Co-eds in the cast is an item
of unusual interest, as it is the first
time in the history of the club that
this has been done. Suffice it to
say that a rmcked house is expect
ed to greet the local Thespians
when the curtains are rolled up
in Gerrard theatre.
Sam Calvert left college Wed
nesday to join the navy. He will
spend a short while at his home,
Portsmouth, before reporting for
duty.
J. 0. Dysart and J. G. Cowan,
'16 graduates, were on the Hill
this week for a few days. They
are now first lieutenants, and are
stationed at Camp Jackson.
