N. C. State Track Meet
to be Held Here To-day
The State track meet, to be held
here to-day, will be the event of
the week. Carolina, Trinitv and
Davidson will be represented and
the meet promises to be a close
one. Track, just as all other ath
letic sports, has been hadicapped
I Ins spring by lack of men on ac
count of the war, and by frequent
rains. In this respect, however,
we have suffered no worse than
any of the. other colleges.
At the beginning of the season
there were only three old men
back, Davis, Rymer, and Wood
and of these Davis and Rymer
later entered the service. Despite
these difficulties, however, the men
have worked well and under the
supervision of Dr. Brown have de
veloped into a very good team, ami
one which is likely to acquit itself
with credit in to-day's contest.
The men who will probably rep
resent the University are as fol
lows :
In the hundred, two-twenty, and
four-forty yard dashes Wood,
Hardin, and Love. In the half
mile Royal and Everett. Tn the
mile and two mile Scott, Nimms,
'Hanson, and Massenburg. In the
hurdles Martin and Price. In the
field events including pole-vault,
high jump, broad jump, shot put,
and discus throw, Spencer, Travis,
Lynch, Burton, Kittrel, Hatcher,
Span, and Corpening.
Carolina Meets Elon
To-day in Burlington
For the fourth time this season
Carolina is scheduled to cross bats
with the Elon nine. Tough luck
has changed manager G. Holding's
plans. each time, but this time
the game is to take place. Our
team has already invaded the
peaceful town of Burlington in
anticipation of Mr. limp's calling
" Play Ball" today at 3:30.
Tennis Team Wins Match
With Raleigh r. M. C. A.
The tennis team played the
Raleigh Y. M. C. A. on the lat
ter's courts on Saturday and come
out of the match without losing a
set. Taking the net in every point
of the doubles except four, Caro
lina was able to win most of the
games by smashing. The Raleigh
team, though greatly handicapped
by lack of practice, played hard
and the games were really closer
than the score would indicate.
In the doubles Prince (Capt.)
and Wilson won from II. M. Lon
don and E. W. Thornton 6-0, 6-2,
6-4..' ;..
Only one match of singles was
played and this was hard played
and fairly close. In it Wilson, II.
V., won from London, II. M., 6-2,
(5-4. .
Saturday night at 8:00 o'clock
in the society halls the,, inter-so
ciety debates will be held. The
debates this year , are being run
on a plan different from that of
former years. Instead of the
Sophomores and Freshmen debat
ing in Gerrard Hall at different
times, as was formerly the ease,
the Freshmen will debate in the
Di Hall at the same time as the
Sophs will debate in Phi Hall.
VIRGINIA WINS LAST GAME
OF SERIES WITH 2-1 SCORE
CONTEST PRACTICALLY NAR
ROWS DOWN TO PITCHERS'
BATTLE
Before one of the largest crowds
of the year at Charlottesville, on
Saturday, Virginia won the de
ciding game of the baseball series
this year by a 2 to 1 score. From
start to finish the game was a pitch
er's battle, with honors about even.
Taylor for Virginia, although
hit hard by the Tar Heel lads, was
tight in the pinches and kept his
hits scattered. Powell, although
not as steady, allowed fewer hits
than his opponent. He struck out
four to Tavlor's eia,ht. Besides
pitching extradoriuary ball, both
pitchers featured with the stick,
Powell getting three hits, one a
triple, out of four trips to the
plate, while Taylor connected safe
ly twice out of four times up, win
ning his own game in the ninth
with a single.
Virginia scored in the very first
inning when two walks, a sacrifice
and a single put one across.
Carolina tied in the fourth
frame. In that innina- Younce
fired a shot to center, but was
forced at second when Bryant's
fuse failed to work Cordon ad
vanced Bryant with a single and
Jack Powell landed him safelv at
home with his third hit.
The Tar Heels threatened to
score in the ninth, when,'', with, on
ly one down, George You nee
reached third, but the rallv was
short-lived, as the next two men
were easy outs. The deciding run
came in the last of that same in
ning when Gwathmey doubled, and
scored over Taylor's drive over
second. The game was well played
and hard fought throughout, being
one of those in which there is as

CAROLINA WINS DEBATE OVER
HOPKINS AND VIRGINIA MEN
GOT NINE VOTES OF THE TEN
CAST BY THE JUDGING
COMMITTEE
Carolina somewhat offset Vir
ginia's victory on the diamond last
Saturday by winning both sides
of the Fifth Annual Triangular
Inter-collegiate Debate at Hop
kins and Virginia, while Hopkins
was defeating Virginia here.
At Johns Hopkins Marion Fow
ler and W. M. York defended the
negative side of the query against
Virginia's affirmative team, com
posed of R. L.Garis and A. L.
Kinsolving. Here the question of
"universal conscription of labor"
was hotly discussed from all pos
sible points of view before an in
terested audience, and the program
was enliven by musical selections,
both vocal and instrumental, ren
dered before and after the first
Speeches and after the rebuttals.
At the conclusion of the program
Dr. John C. French, the presiding
officer, announced that the decision
stood four to one in favor of the
negative.
At Charlottesville, Leo Carr and
Hennas Stephenson upheld the
Affirmative against L. M. Simon
and J.. M. Berkowitz, representing
Johns Ilopb'ns. Here the debate
was unusually YvclL attended and'
was enjoyed by all; Dr.' I, F.
Lewis' 'announced the ' unanimous
decision of the Judges in favor tjf-"''
the affirmative, after which a re-
ception was given in honor of the
. 1 . , . , . ,
visitim? teams and of the officers
of the debate.
This double victory adds a new
laurel to Carolina's wreath and
sustains the recprd of her inter
collegiate debaters. Out of the
forty-seven inter-collegiate debates
in which she has engaged during
the last twenty-one years,, Caro
lina, represented by such men as E.
K. Graham, W. S. Bernard, K.
P. Battle, and numerous others
of state and national fame, has
won no less than thirty-two, while
out of the five triangular debates
with Virginia and Hopkins during
the last six years, Carolina has won
two and Hopkins three.
Dr. T. J. Wilson is recording
the activities of Carolina men with
the colors and the Alumni Review
will Ik? carrying reports of the
Alumni of the University in each
issue throughout the war. Tt is
expected that we will have a ser
vice flag when the records are suf
ficiently complete.
