1' rm tttt Inter-Collegiate Debate Preliminaries This Week. Coming Soon: The Co-Ed Issue of The Tar Heel. H Volume XXIX Chapel Hill, N. C, Tuesday, April 5, 1921. No. 49 HOMER IN SECOND FRAME BY LOWE IS DECISIVE FACTOR IN FIRST CONTEST WITH VIRGINIA Repetition of Easter Monday Stunt Puts Game on Ice. CIRCUIT SWAT BREAKS TIE Exciting Game Witnessed by Many Visitors, including Visiting Girls at Dances. (By C. J. PARKER, Jr.) Smashing out his second circuit clout of the week, Robbins Lowe, al ready dubbed "Babe" Ruth of the University, broke up the game with North Carolina State on Emerson Field Thursday. The timely drive, which came in the eighth inning, broke the 4 to 4 deadlock and enabled Carolina to walk away with a 6 to 4 victory. The hit came as the climax in an exciting game which was witnessed by a large crowd including the visiting girls at the Easter dances. The score stood tied at 4 to 4. Llewellyn was perched on third. Lowe took two strikes and then stepped into one of Murray's fast ones, and sailed it into the woods over the left field hedge. The ball had gone out of sight and Umpire White ruled it a home run, although Lowe reached third on the hit. State took the lead in the first inning by getting next to "Lefty" Wilson at opportune moments, how ever Bryson came to the rescue and finished the game in good shape. Murray worked well, and with his baffling assortment of curves and fast balls fanned no less than ten Carolina batsmen. Carolina's first score came in the third when R. Morris reached first on Kirkpatrick's error and scored on Wilson's long two-bagger. This tied the count, but the next inning John son put across another tally for State on the combination of walk, sacri fice and single. In the fifth both teams scored twice. State on successive hits by Faucette, Norwood and Johnson, aided by an error by Spruill. The Tar Heels got away with vim and filled the bases right at the start on r Morris' single, Wilson's walk, and Redfern's error of McDonald's grounder. Fred Morris' single to left brought in the two runs. Carolina scored in the eighth when Fred Morris tripled to right and scored on Shirley's sacrifice fly. Then came Llewellyn's singls and steal, and Lowe's home run clout that put the game on ice. Box score and summary: Carolina. AB. R. H. PO. A. McDonald, ss McLean, 2b . Morris, F., 3b Shirley, cf . .

CAROLINA MAN WRITES "WAKE UP, JONATHAN" The Broadway stage success, "Wake Up, Jonathan," a comedy starring the celebrated Mrs. Fiske, and now playing to full houses in New York City, was written by Hatcher Hughes, a Carolina alumnus of the class of 1907, in collaboration with Elmer A. Rice. Dr. John M. Booker describes it "as a downright good show, with superb acting by Mrs. Fiske, with characters that are real and witty, and with unexpected yet natural situations, revealing cer tain aspects of our life and traits of our people good-naturedly and with out a flurry." Mr. Hughes began his academic career at Carolina, graduated in 1907, held the position of instructor of English for two years, resigning it after he took his A. M. degree in 1909. During the war he was a cap tain in the A. E. F. He is now teach ing dramatic composition in Columbia University. Mr. Hughes has another play coming out later in the year, of which he will be the sole author. The Co-eds are organizing a Glee Club, and although they will be un able to accomplish very much this year they are planning to give an opera next 'year. CHASE SPEAKS TO FRESHMEN FRIDAY President Chase Talks to Lower Classmen in Chapel on "Free dom and Liberty." Dr. Chase talked to the Freshmen in Chapel Friday morning, April 1st, on "Freedom and Liberty." The campus here believes in the freedom of the individual, but what is its value? The world has been learning that liberty is worth what the men who are living make it. There does not exist in Russia today a develop ment in the men of an appreciation of how to utilize liberty. Our revolu tionary forefathers felt an individual responsibility and got together and built up this country. Does demo cracy work? This rests upon the in dividual who is living under the democracy. Dr. Chase threw the challenge to the entire Freshman class in the words, "Have you developed, or are you developing an individual respon sibility of permeating the freedom of this campus?" Freedom itself is a great condition under which to live, but it may be either good or bad according to the way in which it is used. Men are no longer children but have developed a responsibility. You can't be free without being re sponsible beings. If you have not so developed you have not learned how to be free. Freedom does not mean absence of restraint, but responsv bility. In the keeping of the individ ual man are the ideals of this campus "Liberty works in proportion as the men develop an individual responsi bility in building, maintaining, and developing it. The greater the free dom on the one hand the greater has got to be the individual responsibility of it all. They must go together." TO GIVE 'PINAFORE' Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera to Be Given on the Hill May 28th and 29th. "H. M. S. Pinafore, or The Lass That Loved a Sailor," an entirely ori ginal nautical comic opera will be presented by the Music Department on May 28 and 29. The book was written by W. S. Gilbert and the music by Arthur Sullivan. It is a story which ridicules the British Navy, and in many places suggests the part politics played in the appoint ment of the officers of the Navy. At the time it was written Queen Vic toria was trying to build up the Brit ish Navy and make it the strongest in the world. This opera of Gilbert prevented him from ever being knighted by her, but was knighted by her successor. Sullivan, however, who wrote the music, was knighted by the queen. This opera is the story of a lass who loved a sailor. The scene is laid on the Quarterdeck of H. M. S. Pinafore, of Portsmouth. The sailor is Ralph Rackstraw, an able seaman, while the lass is Josephine, the daugh ter of the captain of the boat. Hei'j father wishes her to marry the First Lord of the Admiralty, but she loves Ralph and refuses. She refuse at first to reveal her love for Ralph be cause of the difference in their stand ing. When the First Lord of the Ad miralty learns of the love of the two he orders Ralph to be thrown In chains. It is learned that in infancy Ralph and the Captain were exchang ed, and that Ralph is Captain and that the Captain is Ralph. The story ends happily with Ralph receiving Josephine as his bride.

State Papers Call Lowe the "Babe" Ruth of North Carolina. BRYSON WORKING GOOD Lowe's Homer, Bryson's Pitching, and Excellent Fielding Factors in 5 to 3 Victory. (By J. J. WADE) Robbins Lowe smashed out his third home run in a like number of games played in the second inning of the Virginia game Saturday, and his terrific drive which scored Spru ill ahead of him was the decisive fac tor in winning from the Virginians by the score of 5 to 3. Lowe had been praised in the state papers as the "Babe" Ruth of North Carolina for his clouting out two homes in the first two games with Davidson and North Carolina State before his third remarkable hit in the Virginia contest, but the hitting of that third home run only gives him more right to be called the col lege "Babe" Ruth. Bryson! started his first varsity game in the box and his debut turned but to be beautiful work, and he held the Virginians in check through out the contest although at times he was hit rather hard and pretty field ing by some of Carolina's aces help ed to sew up the contest. Bryson was opposed by Taylor, who also pitched a nice game, and the pitch- er's duel was about evenly divided in honors, feach of the twirlers allow ed seven hits and Taylor fanned five and Bryson two. In the second inning after Spruill had walked, Lowe contributed his home run drive, and gave Carolina a two-run lead that was decisive in the final score. The ball was driven over the left field wall, and was the first ball pitched to the Carolina home run king. In the fourth frame Carolina counted twice more when Spruill laced out a single and Llew ellyn's fly was dropped by Vance after a long run, and later Taylor pegged wild to first, Llewellyn racing home. In the fifth inning Carolina scored again on an infield hit by Morris, a safe bunt by Spruill, and a passed ball. Carolina's classy infield made a big impression on the two thousand spectators attending the first of the three game series between Carolina and Virginia. McLean and McDon ald accepted thirteen chances be tween them without a bobble, Spru ill had eleven put outs to his credit without an error and Morris, on third was forced to register the only error for the Tar Heels. Fast and clever fielding by the Carolina team caused big applause at times during the contest and Fetzer's men looked good as gold on the Virginia field. Lowe's home run drive was, of course, the feature of the game. Lowe registered two other such homers this season at just the right time, and he is largely responsible for the three victories that Carolina has annexed so far. His hitting will be watched with increasing interest and as to whether he will keep the good work up or not is only left to speculation. Box score and summary: Carolina. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.
