o MCS A arc TAR II JnlJGa OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVI. No. 28 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1918 Price, Five Cents TAR HEELS TRIM SOUTH CAROLINA IN CLOSE GAME ON THE EMERSON FIELD SPIRITED PITCHERS' BATTLE ENDS WITH VICTORY FOR JOYNER The baseball team successfully repelled the attack of the Univer sity of South Carolina contingent Thursday, winning by the score of 4 to 2. The game was a hotly contest ed pitcher's battle between Davis of the Palmetto lads and Joyner of the Tar Heels, the latter treat ing . his guests of the afternoon rather impolitely and grabbing the larger section of the praise pie. Joyner corralled the invaders early in the contest and held them in subjugation throughout the en tire afternoon. In the eighth stan za the ice was thoroughly rough, but the Tar Heel moundman man aged to steer successfully out of dangerous territory. . Only five men were able to secure safe bin gles off his delivery and eleven of the visitors viciously beat the ozone, in an attempt to connect safely. In promulgating the victory, however, the entire laurel wreath must not be. given to Joyner, for while his consistent work was in a large measure responsible for the final outcome, both the offen sive and defensive playing of his team-mates were potent factors. In the fourth chapter the guns of the Tar Heel aggregation found the range of the enemy and open ed fire. A miscue in the opposite trench, followed by a bombard ment of hits created a casualty for the South Carolina crew and before the morale could be restor ed, their lines had been broken through. When the smoke cleared away the Tar Heels had gained ground and one run had been re corded in the log-book. Again in the sixth the heavy ar tillery of the North Carolina crew was brought into action, the de fense of the enemy pierced, and again havoc was wrought. Feim ster fired a shot that was effec tive. Grandin slipped through the barbed wire, giving the Tar Heels two men anxiously waiting (Continued on Page 4) What's to Happen and When Saturday, April ' 27 Y.5 M. C. A.

University to Send Ten Men to Officers' Camp About twenty men are trying out for a place among the ten who are to be sent from the Uni versity to the next officers train ing camp, which, it is understood will open about May 15th. Capt. Allen has been drilling the con testants this week and will no doubt pass upon their fitness within the next few days. The things being considered are the applicant's experience, pres ence, voice of command, and his all around suitability , for selection. The two general requirements are that the applicant be at least twenty years and '.nine months of age bv Mav 15th, and that he be a Senior. It has not been learn ed as yet whether the accepted men will be graduated by the Uni versity, but' this is the general un derstanding. The men passed on by Capt. Allen will, of course, have to undergo the regular gov ernment physical examination for the Officers' Training Camp, but it is understood that they will first be examined by the Univei sity medical officials in order to get an idea of their physical fit ness. Four Men Get Gym Letters Four of the five contestants were successful in the Gym try outs, Wednesday night. Those winning monograms were C. S. Coffee, Douglass Darden, George Johnson, : and "Shorty" Spruil.

A and D com panies had been designated as ihe attackers, while B and C had been chosen to take-the defensive. The plan, which the companies carried out almost to a detail, was that the attacking party should march -out Cameron Avenue and form a line of skirmish from there to Rosemarv Street. Thev were then to advance upon the defend ers, who were, in the meantime, to be drawn up as skirmishers along College Avenue. Then, the lat ter were to fall back to a. position behind the faculty tennis courts, where they should take up an "in trenched" position. ,. ,' '.,. ' Promptly at 4:10 the show be gan. Captains G. Holding and "Red" Cooper marched their men off with a confident sti'ide, as if to say, "Wait 'til we get back." After they had 1een given a suffi cient start, companies B and C, under Capts. C. Holding and Bill Blount, took up their positions, forming a skirmish line extending from Cameron Avenue to Rosc ( Continued on Page 3) McN air Lectures Set For May 3rd, 4th, 5th The McXair Lectures which are to lc delivered here in Gcr rard Hall the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of May promise much in the way of depth of interest and power of appeal.

Plattsburg Junior Summer Camps Scholarship Offered President Graham spoke of the Junior Plattsburg Summer Mili tary Training Camp in Chapel Wednesday; stating that, he had one scholarship to awTard, cover ing the expense of the entire camp. For one who is still un decided as to how he will spend the coming summer,' this camp presents an especial appeal. There are but 24 similar scholarships awarded in the whole country and these are in the hands of the camp advisorv board of which Mr. Graham is a member. The Camp is situated on Lake Champlain. The spot selected is ideal for the purpose, splendidly equipped, and is adaptable to every form of military training. Courses are to be 'held dealing with all of the important phases of modern warfare (machine guns, hand grenades, trench war fare, etc.). The Staff is compos ed of U. S. Army and Xavy offi cers, who will be assisted by Brit ish, Canadian, French, and Ital ian officers, who have seen service in the present war. It is the purpose of the officers in charge to make this camp a permanent institution, and a pattern for sim ilar organizations. . Those men having had previ ous military instruction in any camp, school, or university, will wear service stripes; and having been given an opportunity to showr their capability, they will le designated commissioned or non-commissioned cadet officers. The expenses of the camp are $250. 00 The general requirements for this scholarship are that the ap plicant must be under 21 years of age and a University student. Several men have already an nounced their candidacy. The selection of the representatives will be left to the military au thorities here.

While away from the "Hill" Dr. Green law acted as a judge in the State oratorical contest which was held at Greenwood, S. C. Eight col leges of the state were represented in this contest.

While at the University of South Carolina Dr. Greenlaw de livered a lecture on the back ground of the Russian Revolu tion, discussing the causes and political principals accentuating it and the probable effect of Rus sias condition on the war and the nations therein engaged.
