WILSON HIGH TEAM WINS
AYCOCK MEMORIAL CUP
THOS. BURTON AND WILL AN
DERSON COMPOSE WINNING
TEAM FROM WILSON
MANY VISITORS HEAR DEBATE
"Resolved, That Congress Should En
act a Law Providing for Compul
sory Arbitration of Industrial
Disputes," is Subject
The climax of the sixth sea
son of the North Carolina Debat
ing Union was reached last Fri
day night, April, 12, when Wilson
and Jamestown High Schools de
bated against each other for the
honor of the Aycock Memorial
Cup, Wilson winning the trophy.
Kever was finer oratorical excel
lence exhibited in any high school
debate at Chapel Hill, and the
speakers held during thee entire
debate the closest attention of an
audience that taxed Gerrard Hall
to its utmost capacity. The set
ting in itself was enough to in
spire the two teams to do their
best. The audience was composed
of students and faculty of the Uni
versity and the large number' of
representatives and teachers from
high schools all over thee state.
Mr. Graham was presiding officer.
The secretary was Mr. E. E. Ran
kin, the soul and spirit of the de
bating union. Also on the plat
form was Mr. N. W. Walker, who
was to present the coveted cup.
The blue and white of U. N. C.
decorated the hall and above the
president's" chair was draped the
state flag. ;
In a brief opening address Mr.
Graham welcomed the debaters
in the name of the University.
The preceding debates of the ser
ies, he said, had been character
ized by the extreme closeness, of
the decision and by , the fine spirit
of all contestants.
"Resolved, ' That Congress
Should Enact a Law providing
for the Compulsory Arbitration
of Industrial Disputes" was the
query which was upheld by the
Jamestown High School team,
Willis Stanley and Miss Nellie
Ilaynes. The affirmative con-,
tends that such a measure ' is the
only remedy for existing indus
trial evils, that it is just, practi
cable, and that it has been success

Work on Chapel Hill's
New Postoffice Begun
The work of hauling sand for
the new Post Office Building,
which is to be opposite the Battle
Building and central to both the
business of the town and the-students,
has already been started.
The contractors, Haymes Bros.,
have also ordered the cement for
the foundations, which is now on
the way, having been delayed by
the lack of railway facilities and
the completion of the present con
tract of the firm at Pulaski, Va.,
where another post office is being
erected. The contract, signed last
December, calls for the erection,
within one year, of a one-story
'building, with the most modern
conveniences. It is to be 80 feet
in length by 40 feet in width, with
ornamental columns in front, and
is to be simitiar to the latest col
lege buildings, so that it will blend
with the plans of town and University-
the New Alumni Hotel,
the Presbyterian Memerial church,
and college dormitories. The
three large doors will take care
of the students much better than
swinging doors in the old struc
ture. The plans for the interior
call for abundant floor space for
both the public and the office work.
Vaults are to be provided as a
necessary safeguard. As there
will be margin of between ten and
fifteen thousand dollars over and
above the cost of building and lot,
the equipment and grounds will
be easily cared for. The property J
was sold by Dr. MacNider to the
government for $8,500.
Mrs. Charles Herty is now on
the "Hill" for a short visit.

From the Phi Society, C. M.

ham, E. E. White, and D. L.

WEIL LECTURER UNABLE
TO MEET ENGAGEMENT
The McNair Lectures will be
delivered on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th
of May by Dean Schailer Mathews
of the University of Chicago. The
general subject of Dean Mathews'
three lectures will be "War and
Religion".
Dr. Mathews is one of the most
interesting as - well as one of the
most thoughtful speakers in the
country and his lectures here will
no doubt attract wide attention.
G. C. W. GLEE CLUB WARMLY
WELCOMED TO CHAPEL HILL
AGGREGATION OF PRETTY GIRLS
WITH A WELL PLANNED PRO
GRAM FEATURE CONTEST
An aggregation of pretty girls
with rhymthical music and tune
ful voices composed the G. C W.
Glee Club which staged a perform
ance in Gerrard Theatre Tuesday
night. Of more than notable in
terest is the fact that this was the
first girls' college glee club in this
State to migrate from dormitory
walls. But if the repeated en
chores which the fascinating beau
ties received from the packed
house give any indication of the
popularity of such a novel organi
zation, then it is safe to say that
Carolina will welcome many more
such troupes in the future.
The program was well balanced,
the songs ranging anywhere from
"Good-Bye Ma, Good-Bye Pa" to
the "Star Spangled Banner". Per
haps more instrumental music and
a few additional pretty songs
would not have been amiss, but the
production as a whole deserves
nothing but the high praise voiced
by the audience. Every number
on the program , was well enchored,
some of the renditions bringing
down the house.
Special mention is due Benja
min S. Bates, director, and Miss
Thelma HarrH, accompanist,
who were largely responsible for
the unheralded success of the or
ganization. Mr. Bates possessed
an excellent tenor voice, which he
had under splendid control, while
Miss Ilarrell, with her delicate
touch, proved herself an artist at
the piano. Mr. Hurley's voice
found its chief appeal in the depth
of its tone.
The popular airs were well re
ceived, especially the selections on
the guitars and ukeleles. The
double quartette was better than
the average. The duett by Miss
McKee and Mr. Bates and the solo
by Miss McMichael were numbers
that struck responsive chords in
the hearts of the theatre-goers.
"Mammy's Lullaby" by the whole
Glee Club possessed a popular ap
peal, while "Dixie" concluded the
program.
President Graham left yester
day for Shelby, N. C, where he
will, deliver an address.

"The Man of the Hour"
Presented in Great Style
"The Man f the Hour" pre
sented bv the Dramatic Club on
Monday night will long be remem
bered as one of the best entertain
ments ever given by a Carolina
Dramatic Club. The play itself
was excellently chosen, and the act
ing could hardly be better. The
attention of the audience was held
so closely that, though the play
was really very long, it seemed
hardly more than an hour from
the opening scene until the cur
tain fell on the last act.
The plot consisted of the
struggle of a young man to cling
to the right and preserve his
character unsullied against the
attempts of his political and per
sonal enemies to pull him down.
For a while the fight is desperate
and the hero seems to lose all,
but he sticks to the right and fin
ally wins in love and fame, bring
ing disgrace upon his enemies.
B. Lacy Meredith drew much
applause with his happy interpre
ation of a light-hearted youth,
who was fine at heart, and Fred
Cohn, as political boss, played a ,
difficult role in a truly artistic j
manner. J. Y. Jorden in the title
role could hardly have been sur
passed, while Miss Lay, as Dallas
the heroine, together with Miss
Wilcox, as the hero's mother and
Miss McFadyen taking the part
of the attractive young orphan
were excellent and added greatly
to the play. This was a new fea
ture as it was the first ajipearance
of ' "Co-eds" in a dramatic Club
performance. : Oettinger, as the
"big-hearted" alderman, was well

Chapel Hill Goes Over
the Top With 3d Loan
Chapel Hill's quota for the
third Liberty Loan of $28,400
was over subscribed last Saturday
night, and on the evening of the
18th had reached the $33,100.00
mark.
Dr. Bell, who is moving the
hand of the clock up as the amount
rises, expects at least $40,000 be
fore the four-week period is up.
The clock was made and put up
before the exact quota was known,
which was only given out from
Washington on the 15th. Since
then the hand has moved rapidly,
but seems to be slowing down at
present.
Dr. John II. Finley, who was
to deliver thee Weil lectures on
Citizenship next week, has been
called to France on an important
mission, and has telegraphed that
it will be imposible for him to
keep his engagement.
Dr. Henderson, as Chairman of
the Committee on Universty Lec
tures, made every effort to make
an arrangement that would fit Dr.
Finley's obligations, but this un
foreseen emergency could not ,be
avoided.
It is a great disappointment
both to Dr. Finley and to the Uni
versity community that he cannot
come at this time. However, it is
hoped that Dr. Finley may be able
to deliver the lectures which he
has prepared at some later date.
CAROLINA 3-VIRGINIAO
IN 1ST GAME OF SERIES
TEAMS BREAK EVEN IN TWO
SNAPPY CONTESTS BEFORE
MANY PEOPLE
VISITORS WIN SECOND GAME 4-0
Powell and Pippin Play Stellar Game
in First Clash at Greensboro Sat
urday and Team Shows
Fine Form 1
Showing a great comeback after
an entire week's cessation of prac
tice on acount of the contiual wet
weather, the. baseball team for the
second time in succession proved
the Greensboro "jinx" to be a
myth by shutting out their ancient
rivals there by the scoree of 3-0
last Saturday. What is more, in
mud almost up to their shoe-tops,
both teams put up a pretty game
of perfect ball, neither side hav
ing an error chalked up against it.
To the whole team goes the cred
it for the victory, but to Jack
Powell in particular goes the hon
or of the contest His curves
never broke better, his control
was perfect, and the five hits he
allowed were well scattered. In
addition this was Powell's second
straight victory over Virginia, and
this fact adds luster to the achieve
ment. It was a great game before a
large crowd, with a slippery field
and an overcast sky unable to dam
pen the ardor of the small crowd
of Carolina men who had journey
ed down to support the team. This
small bunch of rooters, ably sup
' ported by the college girls, kept up
a continual racket from the start
to the finish of the game. The
continual wet weather of the past
week made the game slower than
usual, two and a half hours being
consumed in the required nine in
nings. Opposed to Powell was the
famous Eppa Rixey's brother. The
Virginia team showed its confi
dence in him by the brand, of ball
hey put up. Though somewhat
wild at times, he alowed but six
hits.
Grandin started things off for
Carolina in the "lucky" seventh
when he got on to one of Rixey's
benders and rapped out a pretty
single over second. Bryant sac
rificed him to second. Younce
came up next, but fouled out to
first. With two men down Pow
ell hit the first ball pitched over
the center fielder's head, the ball
almost reaching the fence. Gran
din scored while Powell stopped
on second. Rixey passed Cordon.
Herty grounded out to first.
Carolina added to her score in
the ninth, the, one was enough to
win. Younce, first up, obtained
his regular single over second.
Powell advanced him to second.
Cordon went out, second to first,
Younce going to third on the play.
Here Rixey went wild again and
passed Herty and made the grave
mistake of handing one straight
over to Pippinr After the mud
had lifted it was found that
Younce and Herty had both
scored, while Pippin was perched
on second. The next man up was
an easy out, to first.
There were some tight moments
for Powell and for the Carolina
