C, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1918 Price, Five Cents The TAR QUINT ENDS SEASON BY WINNING THREE GAMES WINS FROM GUILFORD, DAVID SON, U. S. C EACH GAME SHOWS ADVANCE IN TEAM 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: Carolina Position Guilford Carmichael ........... Zachary L. F. Lynch . . . '. Jones R. F. Liipfert .............. Groome C. Cuthbertson .'. Hid dick R. G. Tennent ..............

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 (Continued on Page 4) Smiling Spring Lures Many Men to Track Team Must Be Picked from Plentiful and Promising Raw Material List of Candidates.

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.

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.
