PRORESS EMERSON FIELD CROWDED STEPS TAKEN TO PROVIDE WITH ASPIRANTS FOR VARSITY HOTEL HERE AND ALSO PUBLISH CATALOGUE , n our SIX ARE OUT FOR PITCHERS Schedule Announces Games With Yale, Virginia and Penn. Sixty-five candidates for the base ball team have answered Coach Lour cey's call this week, and Emersbn Field is taking on its old-time, .look The last few afternoons of the week have been ideal for baseball and Coach Lourcey has been, putting the squad through some pretty .stiff work in order to make up for the time lost during the rainy weather of the last two weeks. The stormy season that we have just had has put the squad under a distinct handicap, but if the weather continues as good as it has been this week the team will rapidly get in shape, and it will be m good trim for the first game. Practice games will begin the end of the week and the first of next, and uoacn Jbour cey is expecting to get the bunch in good working order in the immediate future. An unusually large number of men have reported, and although there are not many men who may be called bril liant players, the whole outfit is made up of good men. This is an advan tage for it insures the fact that every man will have to keep hustling to retain a berth on the nine. Another advantage that has been pointed out is the fact that all the men are of big build physically. : The outlook in regard to the pitch ing staff is bright also. Joyner, Wil son, Fields, Swift, Alley, Heathm and a great many others are out to oc cupy the mound. (A big bunch of let ter men are back some of them mem bers of former winning Carolina teams. Stewart, an old member of the 1017 team, and Bill Saunders, .of last year left field fame, will report at the beginning of the Spring quar ter. ' It will be gratifying to most of the students to know that .the former Junior Week schedule will very prob ably be changed and as a result the team will play games off the Hall at that time, and the big games that were scheduled for Junior Week will come later. The management is try ing to arrange the schedule for this time so that the team will play Dav idson at Winston-Salem on Easter Monday, the University of South Car olina at Columbia on Tuesday, Geor gia Tech in Atlanta , on Wednesday, and the University ,: of Georgia in Athens on Thursday of that week. Following this game the team will go to Charlottesville where it will meet th Old Dominion on Saturday in the first game of the series. This ar rangement will no doubt be followed. Though not yet officially sched uled Carolina will meet Oak Ridge as visual in the first game of the season. This game will come on the 29th of March, and on the 'Oth Carolina will meet the Durham league team. Both games will be here. The Yale game will bo held some time between the third and the tenth of April. The prospects for a winning nine this year are very bright, although Coach Lourcey says that the squad will have to undergo some hard , work before it will get in final form.

PAGE TO SPEAK HERE THURSDAY NIGHT, MARCH' 111 PROMINENT ALUMNI WERE HERE Decide to Secure Ail-Time Secretary For Association In the first alumni conference ever held at the University of North Car olina during mid-session, presidents and secretaries of local alumni asso ciations met in Chapel Hill last night to consider University problems and to perfect work for the local associa tions. As a result of the meeting more han! $1,000 was pledged on the spot to start a paid alumm secretary to devote all his time to the work, en dorsement and promise of help were given to the plans for a general alum ni catalogue, steps were (taiken to provide a hotel for Chapel Hill, to hold another conference next fall, to strengthen local associations, and promise of support was given to a program of University development. Among those present for the con ference were A. D. W. Connor, of Raleigh, president of the alumni as sociation, and E. R. Rankin, secre tary; H. M. London and J. B. Ches hire, Jr., of Raleigh; Judge N. H. Stevens and C. Walton Johnson, of Asheville; W. M. Hendren and Dr. Howard Rondthaler, of Winston- Salem; A. E. Woltz, of Gastonia; Francis O. Clarkson, of Charlotte; J. R. Baggett, of Lillington; J. W. Um stead, Jr., of Tarboro; R. H. Gwynn, Jr., of Leaksville; W. C. Wicker, of Elon College; and A. M. Coates, of Smithfield. Representing the Uni versity were President Chase, Dr. L. R. Wilson, Dean Frank Graham, and Professors A. II. Patterson and Col lier, and Mr. C. T. Woollen. At a dinner given by President Chase talks were made by him and by President Connor of the associa tion, and by A. M. Coates, E. R. Rankin, H. E. Rondthaler, II. M. Lon don, J. W Umstead, Jr., and Dr. Wil- I son. An informal discussing followed and a general debate, with near all the alumni participating, lasting un til late into the night. The sum of $1,050, which was pledged on the table for the support of a whole-time alumni secretary, was regarded as sufficient to start the work for such an office immediately and to take care of him until the June meeting of the general alumni association. Hitherto, alumni secre tarial work has been carried on by E. R. Rankin, in addition to other duties. "The lif of the alumni asso ciation," said Mr. Umstead, "depends on the activity of a secretary devot ing all his time to the work." In endorsing the plan for a gener al catalogue of all the alumni, the conference passed a resolution pledg ing support in the obtaining of data and the sale of the volume. Secretary Rankin announced that, counting present students, the number of liv ing alumni had now passed the 10,000 mark. Among the proposals made for strengthening local associations the one attracting most general interest was the Asheville plan brought for ward by Judge Stevens, which pro vides, among other things, for quar terly meetings in the form of lunch eons, following the procedure of Rotary Clubs and other similar or ganizations. The program of University devel opment which met the approval of the conference and which .will be sub mitted to the general alumni meeting, included, aside from the obvious phy sical and financial development, the following: (1) The future expansion of departments dealing with govern ments, politics, and social sciences. (2) The offering of courses in archi tecture, mining engineering, and for- estry. (3) The provision of a lab- j oratory for accounting, a reading room for the School of Commerce, ! and the addition to the School of in- j structors in business organization, (Continued on Page 5) Prevails in Ranks Bull Moose STATE SUPERVISOR OF INSUR- ANTE J.

Mr. Pickard, when interviewed last night at the headquarters of the Bull Moos"e party (as his ticket is now known and designated by the Right Honorable Horace Williams, member of the legislature from Perdunk), in the Bynum Gymnasium, stated that the ticket felt confident of election. He further said that his cohorts felt very delighted over having been able to secure the valuable and experien ced services of the aged campaigner and veteran of many battles, the Hon. Albert Coates.

INFLUENZA DISAPPEARS FROM STUDENT BODY Total Cases Among Students Reached Forty-nine "There are no cases of influenza among the students at the University of North Carolina," Dr. Eric A. Aber nethy, the University physician, said today. "At the present time five stu dents are on the sick list. Two have minor injuries received in basketball, one has the mumps, and two have ear trouble but not serious enough to keep them off classes. "Since January 1st," Dr. Abernethy continued, "there have been 49 cases of influenza among the 1,400 students. All of them are now well. That num ber includes every student who had a rise in temperature if just for one day. Eleven cases during the past two months developed into serious in fluenza and two into pneumonia. The largest number sick at any time was seventeen, the largest number of new cases in any one day was two. There was never at any time, .any influenza situation as such." Outside the University, in Chapel Hill, in Carrboro, which adjoins, and in the surrounding country influenza spread widely though it is now pro nounced to be rapidly decreasing. Five deaths have been reported from county near Chapel Hill, Precautions were taken in Chapel Hill and in the University to keep influenza from getting a start. The Chapel Hill graded school was closed for ten days. Churches and moving (Continued on page three) Harmony mm m msP- i 'Ma Pflli Jm41$W -u 'A The above is a picture of the Hon. Robert N.

CAROLINA LOSES TO TRINITY 19 TO 18 In a fast and hard-fought game last Monday night Trinity turned the' tables on Carolina on the local floor to the tune of 19 to 18. The re venge was sweet to the rather large crowd of Trinity supporters who came over to pull for their team, and they went back with visions of the state championship in their mind's eye. The game was one of the most hotly-contested of the season, the teams running neck and neck dur ing every minute of play. The Trin ity team started off with a rush, scor ing four points in the first minute of play. Then Carolina came from be hind and led by a margin of two or three points until Trinity scored a goal just before the end of the half, making the score 10 to 9 in her favor. In the second half the two teams came back with more pep, if possible, than before and the advantage sway ed back and forth as the half went on. The Carolina team was off in its passing, but through close guarding and good work on the part of Liip fert, managed to keep the lead until the last five minutes of play, when by a couple of long shots Trinity took the lead and maintained it by a mar gin of one point until the end. The close game and intense feel ing caused more personal fouls than usual, and the game was close and tense throughout. The game was fea tured by the shooting of Liipfert and the all-round good work of Sheppard for Carolina, and the spectacular shooting from the center of the floor on the part of Starling and Martin for Trinity. The line-up follows: Carolina Trinity Carmichael Ferrell Right Forward Rourk . Starling Left Forward Liipfert Richardson Center Sheppard Hathaway Right Guard Morris Martin Left Guard (Continued on page three) OPPOSITION TICKET : IS THE RUMOR NOW Politicians well versed in the art and gossip around Alumni 12, head quarters of the distinguished and as tute politician, the Hon. Dud Carroll, have it that opposition to the Bull Moose ticket is brewing. . But where the opposition is nobody can definite ly tell. Indications point to the Hon. Horace Williams as leader of the bp position. Williams, who 13 no mean politician, addressed around four hun dred Freshmen in Gerrard Hall last Monday morning. The time-honored and esteemed friendship of the gentle man from Perdunk for some of the Bull Moose ticket would lead him to this step with a clear conscience. It u understood that, he has the sup port of such distinguished politicians as the Hon. Charlie Woolen, William Watly Pierson, Hon. Vernon Howell (who is mentioned for the place of Chief Justice oh the new ticket), Ma jor Cain, of the Light Infantry, and commander of the Old Guard, the Hon. Zeb Council, and Bull Durham. As yet the opposition has not crys tallized but the Seer of Sabine Farm (Horace) is noted for his ability to crystallize things and keen political observers think that a wise step in this direction would be the appoint ment of Frank Porter Graham as campaign manager for the insurg ents. Some keen observers state frankly that they think that if Frank Porter Graham is appointed cam paign manager the insurgent ticket will loose the votes of several thou sand freshmen who are taking His tory I and II. Nevertheless, it is. thought that this can be more than counterbalanced by the number of women votes that Graham can carry to the insurgent ticket. As yet, noth ing definite is known as to the in surgent movement, but events are ex pected to crystallize in a few days. Mr. Turkey Aycock, campaign manager for the distinguished poli tician and statesman, Edwin Green law, who is the Bull Moose candidate for the Commissioner of Agriculture in. an article addressed to the voters' last night, stated that Greenlaw (Continued on page six) i l.'v1 i ( 1 HI r ' !
