All-State Team Picked ybtzi All-State Team. Picked Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, May 18, 1923 Number 56 THE STATE HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE T( Durham Won Over Woodland in East and Pomona Over Shelby in West. SEVERAL GOOD PITCHERS Saturday the 18th day of May, will gaze down upon the culmination of the state-wide high school basoball cham pionship series when Durhnm, champi ons of the East, meets Pomona, cham pions of the West, on Emerson field. Pomonn after having run a meteor like course in the West, came through with sectional honors when she defeated Pick Gurley's Shelby team last Tues day at Davidson. Durham emerged victorious over Woodland Wednesday on the University diamond and won the right to represent the East in the finals. Shelby was defeated at Davidson on Tuesday in an 11-inning game by a score of 4 to 3. Barbee, the Pomona pitcher, walked away with all the glory of the contest by connecting for three doubles, scoring two runs and whiffing 13 men. He won his own game in the 11th when, after having doubled, he went to third on an infield out and stole home. McKee, the opposing pitcher, also fanned 13 men. The score: B. H. E. Pomona 4 9 5 Shelby 3 7 4 In a pitcher's duel Wednesday on Emerson field Durham wrested the east ern laurels from Woodland by a 4 to 1 score. Each pitcher allowed only four singles apiece, scratch and thorough bred combined, but Cherry was accorded better support than Joyner. Durham scored one run in the second inning and three in the third. The first tally came when Holt, after having got on base by error, was sacrificed to sec ond and went to third and home on two successive passed., balls. In the third Byrd walked and stole second. Holt then beat out a mighty feeble infield hit which sent Byrd to third. Carden his out into right field and scored Byrd and Holt who had stolen second. Car den was brought in on Reed's clean sin gle. Woodland's only tally came in the third frame when O. Futress hit safely. went to second and third on two field er's choices and counted when Satter field threw the ball clear over third base. K. Joyner is probably the best high (Continued on Page Four) SEVERAL ATTRACTIONS Oil !Ef The Alumni Program of This Com mencement Has Promise of Being the Best Ever. The alumui program for the 12Sth University commencement is by far the most attractive of any of the past years. The whole time is full of events that will be of interest not only to for mer students but also to those who were not students as well. For instance, this is the first time, certainly in recent years, that one of the Carolina-Virginia baseball games will be played during commencement. Not only will there be the game be tween the old rival institutions which alwnys interests any old student of Carolina, but there will also be a game betweon the "Wonder Team" of 1903 and a team composed of the present faculty. The old team that won the Southern Championship will be back intact for the game with the faculty. As yet it is not known just who will compose the faculty team but it can be said that there are some mighty good players in the faculty. Another interesting feature ofthe program will be the popular Univer sity Quartet of 1902. This quartet gained much popularity in its day at Carolina, and its rejuvenation will be a part of the commencement that should interest all those alumni who were in school while these singers were in their prime. They will sing at the alumni luncheon at Swain hall on Tuosday of the week. Besides these attractions there will be a performance of the Carolina Play makers at 8:30 on Tuesday night. Sev eral of the classes will hold reunions during the course of the week. Those classes hnving reunions are as follows '53, '63, '83, '93, '98, '03, '08, '13, '18 and '22. The senior order of the Gold (Continued on Page Four) TAR HEEL'S ALL-STATE First Team Position Shirley (Carolina) First base English (Trinity) Second base C.

Left field Correll (State) Center field Ormand (Trinity) Right field Dempster (Trinity) Pitcher Sanderson (Trinity) Pitcher Hunter (Davidson) Pitcher ALL-STATE TEAM PICKED By TAR HEEL REPORTER Carolina Has Two Men, Trinity Five, Wake Forest Two, and State and Davidson One Each. (By HANK PARKER) In picking an all-state intercollegi ate baseball team it is readily apparent that the ball club of Trinity College is the most fertile of the several fields from which the roster of such a club must be chosen. The Methodists have so far been defeated but once in the state and have made a victorious march through the South, losing their only game to Auburn which they later avenged. Beyond a doubt their pitch ing staff has been the most consistent in North Carolina, and English, C. Smith, and Ormand have stood out in their respective positions. Next to Trinity the University must be given a berth and following her comes Wake Forest. The one and only "Mule" Shirley is undisputably the peer of first basemen and may be regarded as a fixture at that station. Crawford of Davidson is our second choice. At second English takes the prize at a cake-walk, covering an immense amount of territory with ease, fielding consistently and ranking well as a bats man. McDonald must be moved to sec ond base on the second team. "Monk" has been guilty of erroring rather free ly this year but none of his rivals have borne the white flower of a blameless record in this respect and his dependa bility at bat gives him preference. C. Smith, the Trinity third baseman, is easily the best in the state. Ar uette of Wake Forest ranks close behind him, however. Vann Stringfield, who completes his fourth season in college ball this year, has justly earned for himself the al most unanimous award of the position at short. Turner of Trinity is prob ably the second best choice, although Redfern of State is exceptionally good in that capacity. In the field the heavy-hitting Clark? fcikes first place over "Rabbit" Bon ner. He has made a hitting average of about .450 and in that respect and that respect alone does he surpass Bonner. Correll of State and Poole, another hard hitting Wake Forest boy, are the choices in centerfield, while Ormand and Spikes, both of Trinity, arc the logical men for the right garden. The veteran "Casey" Morris gets the backstop position because of his exceptional level headedness, ability to work his pitchers and his power to hit when hits will win a game. Hnyworth of Guilford is not quite on a par with Morris but ranks above both Faulkner of State and Johnson of Trinity. For pitchers Dempster, Sanderson and Hunter of Davidson compose the first string staff. Hunter has a no-hit game to his credit as well as numerous wins. He is also a good hitter. Ferebee, pitching his first year of varsity ball, Stamey of Wake Forest and Bryson of Carolina or Stanley Johnson of Wake Forest compose the rest of the staff. GEORGE GORDON BATTLE AND DR.-PLATO DURHAM WILL SPEAK AT FINALS Mr. Battle to Deliver Commence ment Address and Dr. Durham the Baccalaureate Sermon. JUNE 10-14 DATE OF FINALS George Gordon Battle and Rev. Plato Durham will be the speakers at the University commencement exercises, to bo held June 10-14, according to an nouncement late last week. Mr. Battle will deliver the commencement address and Dr. Durham will deliver the bacca laureate sermon. The former is at the present time practicing law in New York City, where he has a large law practice. He is an alumnus of both the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia, a native of the Tar Heel state, and was in his college days one of the youngest stu dents ever to matriculate at the Uni versity. Mr. Battle is a son of Turner Westray Battle, and was born at Cool Spring plantation in Edgecombe county. He entered the University at the age of 13, and members of the faculty who were here then remember him as a boy in short trousers. Though a Univer sity student, outside of study and class hours he played about the village with other boys of his own age who at that time were in grammar school. After graduating from Carolina, Mr. Battle attended the University of Vir ginia. Graduating from the law school in 1889, he went to New York to prac tice law. Since then he has won dis tinction in his profession and in the social and political life of the metropo lis. In 1909 he was the Democratic can didate for state district attorney in the race against Charles S. Whitman, Republican who later became Gover nor of New York. Dr. Durham is a Tar Heel living in Atlanta. He is an A. B. of Trinity Col lege, and later attended the Yale Di vinity School, Oxford University, and the Union Theological Seminary. He was also for a time a member of the faculty of Trinity College and after wards pastor of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church in Charlotte. He has taken a prominent part in the coun sels of the Southern Methodist church for several years, and also has written poetry, contributing verses to the Out look and other magazines. Dr. Durham served in the Spanish-American war as first lieutenant in the second North Carolina regiment of volunteers. Also he is a member of the committee on inter-racial relationship and the asso ciation for after-war reconstruction in inter-racial affairs. Both of the commencement speakers are men of note in their chosen fields. They are effective and pleasing speak ers, and the University feels itself for tunate in securing their services for the commencement exercises. SECURED TO FILL IN FOR DR. PATTERSON Prof. Braune Attends Meeting At Cincinnati G. M. Braune, professor of civil en gineering, was in Cincinati May 5 to attend a meeting of the Braune Civil Engineering Society which met at the University of Cincinnati. The society, which was organized in 1914 by a group of prominent civil engineers from all parts of the country, was named after Professor Braune, and he therefore takes a great deal of in terest in its proceedings. While there he made a speech before the society. At the end of tho meet ing a big banquet was given for the members of the society. Dean Francis F. Bradshaw delivered tho high school commencement address at Wagram last Tuesday. Dr. Paul Dike, Noted Physicist, Cables From Constantinople That He Accepts Position. Paul Dike, a well known physicist, has cabled from Constantinople that he will substitute here next year for A. II. Patterson, who will be at Harvard on a year's leave of absence. The engagement of so good a man for a temporary position came about through a fortunate coincidence. Mr. Patterson, while puzzling over the prob lem of filling his place here temporarily, received a letter from Mr. Dike, whom he had known well at Cambridge and in Berlin, but with whom he had had no communication for many years. Mr. Dike said that he desired to educate his two sons in America, and asked for information about some place where he would fit in for a year, while he looked about for a permanent position. Within the week, Dr. Patterson set tled the matter by cable. Mr. Dike is a graduate of Northwest ern University and took his Pli. D. at the University of Wisconsin. He was in the United States Coast and Geo detric Survey, and went around the world on a vessel of the United States Magnetic Survey. He was in the sig nal corps during the World war, and since then has been a professor in Rob erts College in Constantinople. Norman Foerster, professor of Eng lish in the University, published a Bib liography of American Literature in the last number of "The Publications of the Modern Language Association."

A. is to organize Carolina's Blue Ridge delegation for the coming session. C. A. Holshauser is chairman of the Blue Ridge recruiting committee, which also includes J. R. Allsbrook, C. A. Peeler, L. T. Bledsoe, R. Y. Thorpe, J. A. Brad ley, C. A. Moore and Dick Erwin. The committee plans to have each campus organization represented at Bine Ridge by a delegate who can make a study of his particular line by getting in touch with men from similar organiza tions at other colleges. Every fraternity, publication board and Bible class at the University will be asked to send at least one represen tative to the conference. In addition, the committee wishes to have as many delegates as possible from the student body at large, and urges any men who would like to go to Blue Ridge to call at the "Y" office or see a member of the Blue Ridge committee. A BUSINESS SPECIALIST GIVES SERIES OF LECTURES Mr. John G. Yost, Assistant Secretary of the Fidelity and Deposit Co., Lectures to Commerce Students. Mr. John G. Yost, assistant secretary of the Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland, was in Chapel Hill last Wednesday and delivered three lectures before audiences composed of students of the commerce and law schools. Ac companying Mr. Yost was Mr. Floyd G Whitney, of Charlotte, who is manager of the company for North Carolina. Mr. Whitney is a Carolina man, having been a member of the class pf 1911. The first lecture of Mr. Yost was be fore the banking class of Professor Murehison in the commerce school, the subject of this lecture being "Fidelity Bonds." In this lecture the speaker pointed out the value and advantages of Fidelity-bonds. "Insurance Protection Required by Banks" was the subject of the lecture given before the insurance class of Professor Matherly. Later on in the day Mr. Yost spoke to students of the schools of commerce and of law in Saunders hall on the sub ject of "Suretyship." His gave his sub ject in the light of its practical appli cation by the surety companies. The visit of Mr. Yost and Mr. Whit ney was of very much importance to the students who are taking courses in the fields in which these men are specialists. They were men who gave the side of the business man, and the commerce and law students, realizing this fact, turned out to hear them. The recent show window display of Koister's Hook store, which was fitted out with two life-sissed pictures of local hoys fishing, has attracted a good bit of interest outside of Chapel Hill. The May number of the Americun Stationer and Ollice Outfitter carried a full picture of it. And it was nlso given a write-up in the June issue of the Atlantic Const Merchant. TAR HEEL CONTEST There are three positions on the Tar Heel stalf still unfilled. A short contest will be held for the remain der of the year for candidates desir ing to become members of next year's staff. Those desiring to en ter tho contest will see the Manag ing Editor for assignments and fur ther particulars. THE OFFICERS OF RISING JUNIOR CLASS ELECTED L. T. Sogers, Herman Mclver, F. S. Griffin, and J. P. Corbett Will Pilot Class of '25. Ludlow Rogers walked off with tho presidency of next year's junior class on the first ballot, over a field of four candidates, last Tuesday. Herman Mc lver led the ticket, winning tho vice presidency by a majority of 181, and Floyd Griffin snatched the secretary and treasurorship from W. J. Cocke by a 21 vote lead. Pat Corbett did not have any opposition for representative of the class on the campus cabinet. Nominations wore held in Gerrard hall Monday. Everything worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone seem ed to know who was to be nominated, so no slip-up came. Martin Carmichael was considered to be good presidential timber, but for some reason he did not make the race. The ballot voted on Tuesday, with the votes of each candidate, are as fol lows: For President C. H. Yarborough, 37; L. T. Rogers, 121; R. H. Jackson, 49, and Spencer Murphy, 34. For vice president Herman Mclver, 215; R. W. Linker, 34. For secretary and treasurer W. J. Cocke, 113; F. S. Griffin, 134. Campus cabinet J. P. Corbett, the only contestant. The new officers are men who well deserve the honor which they have re ceived. Ludlow Rogers of Durham has been connected with many student activ ities during his two years at Carolina, and in him the rising junior class has a good man for president. Herman Mclver, who hails from Meb ane, is one of the most admired fellows in the class. This fact is evident from the large vote which ho received for vice president. "Mac" has become quite a star on the gridiron, and is also a bright light in the lecture room. He is an ideal man for vice president. Floyd Griffin, of Reidsville, is well known on the campus, and is deserving of 'the job of secretary-treasurer. Pat Corbett, of Whitakers, is an Oak Ridge man. He was a member of last year's freshman basketball sipiad, and is on the track team this year. He, too, is a worthy representative for the class. Call Was Issued For Football Candidates With the baseball season rapidly Hearing an end, call was issued by the coaches Monday to begin spring foot ball practice immediately. About 40 men reported and were given a work out and a few preliminary instructions by Coach Alexander and former Cap tain Pritchurd. The players who are members of the baseball team will of course have to forego this period of training as the final Virginia game is not until June 2. The loss of Pritchard, Blount, Coch ran, F. Morris and Johnson will leave deep gaps in the line and baekfield. The first three have entered tho busi ness world while th elast two have broken into professional ball. With the wealth of material that comes up from Coach Alexander's fresh men teams and several good men who were unable to play last year the Fet zers have fine prospects of building up another team that will equal or even surpass the record of last year's "won der" team. ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY OF RISING SENIOR CLASS 138 TO 71 Two Ballots Required to Decide the Issue Three Ballots Nec essary for Vice Presidency. MOORE DEFEATS EPSTEIN After a campaign marked by unusual speculation and doubt as to who would be tho ultimate winners in tho rising senior class elections, the final vote was counted Wednesday night giving W. W, Gwynn of Leaksvillo a largo ma jority over Herbert Youngblood for the presidency. Two ballots were roqnired to docido tho issue of the class presi dency, Gwynn lacking two votes of se curing a majority on the first ballot hold Tuesday nftomoon. For secretary-treasurer L. II. Moore won over Goorge Epstein on tho first ballot by tho largo majority of 99 votes. As tho Tar Heel goes to press, the out come of the vice presidency is still un decided. Three candidates, Tom Wood ard, A. C. Linoborger and Dnlo Ranson, pulled through successfully on the first ballot, Winton Green boing dropped. On the second ballot Linoborger secured 73 votes, Ranson 69 and Woodard 62. Woodard 's name was dropped out, leav ing Linebergor and Ranson still in tho race. In the nominations Tuesday five men were put out in machine-like precision by their followers, Youngblood, Gwynn, Bonner, Duls and Holderness. In the first balloting Gwynn 's heavy lead over the rest of the field forecasted an easy win for him on the final ballot. Young blood's cohorts put up stiffer opposi tion, but they were unable to overcome the big following Gwynn had secured, and Youngblood was dofeated 138 to 71. For the campus cabinet representa tive, Bill Holderness, who had boen eliminated from the race for the presi dency, defeated Arthur -Raper 109 to 92 on the first ballot. W. W. Gwynn, who will pilot the sen ior class for next year, has been active in student organizations since his fresh man year. He recently won the Phi Beta Kappa honor, in doing which he carried out a family tradition, as three of his brothers earned this high scholas tic honor while at the University. Gwynn has been prominent in Y. M. C. A. activities and was elected vice (Continued on pace four.) TOi WOLFE HAS PLAY AT Former Tar Heel Editor Writes Suc cessful Play Dealing With the Race Problem. PHARMACY ELECTIONS The second year pharmacy class elect ed its class officers for the coming year at an election held Friday morning. The following officers were elected: W. R. McDowell, of Waxhaw, prosidout; F. P. Brookshire, of Ashoville, vice presi dent; and L. Shuford, of Lenoir, secretary-treasurer. This is one of the larg est pharmacy classes in the University's history, numbering about 50 students. Tom Wolfs, a former editor of the Tar Heel unci a prominent participant in tho Playmaker organization in his undergraduate days at the University, has had a successful production of one of his plays dealing with the race prob-, lem at the Agassi. House Theater of Rndcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass. Since his graduation from Carolina in 1920, Wolfe has been taking advanc ed work in dramatics at Harvard, and has been one of the most promising writers of the "47 Workshop," recog nized as one of the leading dramatic organizations in American universities. The production of his play was receiv ed with popular acclaim, and was con sidered to be of sufficient quality to warrant its entry in a contest being conducted by a New York producer in which a prize of $500 is being offered, together with an opportunity for pro duction on Broadway. The scene of the jday is laid in Asbeville under the name Altnmoiit, and all the characters are Southerners with the exception of the leading character, a "yellow nigger from Boston." Wolfe takes no side in the play, but writing from his rich experience and knewledge of the race question he made it very vivid and in jected into it a strong and varied appeal. Dr. Chase is in great demand now for commencement addresses. Wednesday he spoke at Louisburg College, Louis burg; on tho 28th he will be at Oxford College; Rocky Mount High School, on June 1, and Washington and Lee Uni versitv on June 5. Tho treasurer's office announces that students who expect to keep their same rooms next year will have to sign a contract and make a deposit of (5 OH or before June 15.
