MOORE SETS A RECORD
Carolina Athlete Sets New Rec
ord in Low Hurdles in Try-
outs Friday
The University track team con'
tinued their winning streak Saturday
by winning- the state meet by a good
margin. They scored 107 1-4 points
while State College was fifty points
behind with 57 1-4. The University
boys were slow getting off, but lost
no time in gaining the lead.
Excellent sportsmanship was shown
throughout the entire meet, and
there were no argument or disputes
during the entire affair.
Carolina ran away with the in
tercollegiate state track champion
ship here this afternoon in the finals
held at Riddick field, score 107 1-4
points. North Carolina state was
second with 57 1-4, Davidson ranked
third with 21 3-5, Wake Forest fourth
with 14 1-4 and Trinty fifth with
9 1-2 points.
Joe Ripple, of State, established a
new mark in the shot put when he
heaved the 16-pound weight 41 feet
three 1-4 inches, bettering the
State record for the event of 40 feet
-six inches, which he made on Friday
in the preliminaries. Hamrick's State
record in the discus of 126 feet nine
and one-half inches also made Fri
day in the preliminaries, stood today
when the tech captain led a poor
field in the event with a toss of
slightly more than 123 feet.
Moore, of Carolina, equalled his
new state record of 24 4-5 seconds in
the low hurdles. The same brilliant
little runner also won the high
hurdles in 16 seconds flat, bettering
by half a second the old State rec
ord, but the mark was not allowed

GLEE CLUB CUP
University Glee Club Cops First
Cup in State Music Con
test at Durham
The University, Trinity, and Guil
ford, were the winners of the inter
collegiate glee club contest held at
Trinity College Thursday evening,
May 1, under the auspices of the civic
clubs of Durham. Four colleges
took part in the contest Trinity,
Guilford, Wake Forest, and the Uni
versity, and the musicians and singers
selected from these schools rendered
a program highly pleasing to the
the audience which packed Craven
Memorial Hall.
The largest prize, a massive and
beautiful silver loving cup, was
awarded for the best rendition of
Buck's "Grant Us to Do with Zeal."
This was won by the University. All
the clubs rendered this selection well,
and it was only through an unusually
fine performance that the Tar Heels
were victorious.
A second silver cup was awarded
.for the best quartet singing. Ihe
Trinity quartet won this honor, their
voices being exceptionally well-match-
ed and drilled.
Probably the most entertaining
numbers of the whole program were
the specialty acts. Guilford College
won the cup in this contest with a
very pleasing number, the March of
the Tin Soldiers. The uniforms were
very attractive, and co-ordinntion in
the drilling was almost perfect. Trin
ity offered as its specialty act a
number mandolin solos which were
enjoyed by all. The Wake Forest
number consisted of instrumental
selections admirably played by an
orchestra of about fifteen pieces. The
-act presented by the University was
an Apache dance portraying much
emotion and grace. As an encore the
University club offered a screaming
burlesque of ihis dance.
It has been suggested that thia
contest be made an annual affair, and
vthe great success attending the per
formance Thursday renders it very
.probable that this will be done.

were reports from certain sources
that the dance did not measure up
to standard. The committee was
advised that there was some drink
ing at the occasion and for this reas
on it had the order placed on proba

by the campus at the action. Many
who attended the dance declared it
fully up to the standard.

Each Other for the State
Title
Harry Price of Davidson College
won the State Tennis Championship
in singles by defeating Abram Solo
mon of Carolina in the State Tourna
ment held in Greensboro last week.
The Championship in doubles will be
decided in Chapel Hill between the
two University teams, each team hay
ing eliminated all rivals that faced
them during the tourney. . ;
The match between Price and
Solomon was one of the hardest
fought matches ever staged in the
State. Five sets were required to de
cide the winner and the two players
were on the verge of exhaustion when
the match was finished. The five
sets represented 46 games, almost
every one of which were drawn out
by being continually dueced by the
one player or the other. After having
won the first two sets, Solomon weak
ened and Price won by the scores,
4-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-0, 6-4.
Smith and Solomon will meet Full
er and Whitaker for the title in
doubles Tuesday afternoon. Besides
the University there were repres
ented, of the meet, Davidson, Elon,
Wake Forest and Trinity. -
Little Tar Heels on
Virginia Ball Trip
The little Tar Heels left last Sun
day on an extended trip through
Virginia. They have a hard schedule,
meeting the very best Freshman
teams in Virginia. Monday, they
meet Washington and Lee; Tuesday,
V. M. I. Wednesday, University of
Virginia; Thursday, V. P. I.; Friday,
Woodberry Forest; returning to
Chapel Hill on Saturday. Fifteen
men made the trip including Manager
Thorpe and Coach Sides. J
The Freshmen have one of the best
teams in years. To date they have
not lost a game, taking six straight
from the leading Freshmen and high
school teams of the state.
Too much credit can not be given
to Coach Sides. He has whipped his
men into a hard playing team that
works as a unit. Part of the Fresh
men's success has been due to the
fact that they have a string of good
pitchers. Coach Sides has several
men who will make a good bid for a
place with the varsity next year.
Out-of-town members present for
the meeting of the Trustees Building
Committee were Messrs. John
Sprunt Hill, Haywood Parker, and
THE SENIOR HONOR ORDER OF
GOLDEN FLEECE TAPS FRIDAY
Senior Honorary Society Will Hold Annual Tapping With Usual
Ceremony Friday Night Larg e Crowd of Students Expected
Much Campus Discussion a s to Whom Will be Tapped
The Order of Golden Fleece, senior
honorary society, will hold its annual
tapping Friday night, May 9, in Me
morial hall. A large crowd is ex
pected, for Golden Fleece, standing
for the highest in student life at th?
University, is respected and looked
up to more than any other campus
organization, and the tapping cere
mony itself has always been i popu
lar drawing card. The utter secrecy
with which the Fleece members work,
the impressive scene furnished by the
black robed and hooded figures march
ing up and down the aisles, pouncing
at breathless intervals on the ten men
deemed worthy of membership, has
come to be one of the biggest nights
of the student year.
The speaker for the tapping has
not been selected yet, although efiorts
have been to secure William Howard
Taft, Justice of the Supreme Court,
Frank Page, Highway Commissioner,
and E. W. Alderman, President of
the University of Virginia. Previous
engagements have prevented these
notables from accepting the invita
tion. Members of the Fleece are now
trying to secure an appropriate speak
er for the occasion.
Just whom will be tapped next
Friday night is problematical. A
ball game is never won until the last
man is out, and Golden Fleece will

Malcolm Young, reporter, picked fiv
men as sure Fleece material for the
campus to talk over. They are:
Merle Bonner, of Aurora, all around

playmaker, manager of the track and
wrestling teams, and trainer for var
sity athletics, W. J. Cocke, of Ashe

baseball team, and prominent in social
organizations, and Dick Thorpe, of

the Tar Heel scribes who have at
tempted to forecast the Fleece selec
tions, have succeeded fairly well, and
it will be interesting this year tc
check up on Young's line-up .
The Order of Golden Fleece was
founded by Professor Horace Will
iams in 1903 and was patterned after
the se-nior honorary society at Yale,
the Skull and Bones. The year of
its founding, the campus was torn by
friction among groups, personal jeal
ousies, and unsettled conditions in
general. There was a strong need for
some influence to bind the groups to
gether and promote a broader spirit

CAROLINA WINS
DEBATE MONDAY
Team of Couch. Roirera anA
Saunders Win Over George
Washington University
Carolina won her fourth inter
collegiate debate of the year Monday
nignt in t.errard Hall, when George
Washington University was defoatpd
by a two-to-one decision.
The query was "Resolved: That
the United States should adhere to
the Permanent Court of International
Justice on the basis of the conditions
proposed by Secretary Hughes". The
Tar Heels, defending the affirmative,
were represented by W. T. Couch,
L. T. Rogers, and J. M. Saunders.
George Washington's speakers, up
holding the negative, were Oscar
Zabel, Edwin S. Bettleheim, and Lew
Wallace.
The Tar Heels, based their attack
on the contentions that the perman
ent Court is the best existing agency
for the settlement of international
disputes; that the Permanent Court
is superior to the Hague Court, and
that as the United States has adhered
to the Hague, it should therefore ad
here to the Permanent Court; and
that the United States owes a moral
duty to herself and to the world to
adhere.
The Negative maintained that pub
ic oninion opposes the entrance of tli"
United States into the Court: that th
Court, is impracticable, and that it is
ineffective.
Carolina overcome the visitors
largely by strength of argument and
superiority in delivery.
Judges were G. T. Stevenson,
Charles U. Harris, and - Dr. W. T.
Laprade. Dr. W. S. Bernard presided,
while L. Q. Gallaway acted as secre
tary.
Dr. Worley F. Rudd, Dean of school
of Pharmacy of the Medical Collet,-
of Virginia, who spoke here last
Thursday night under the auspices of
the American Pharmacentical Associ
ation praised the Pharmacy school of
the University of North Carolina
very highly. He said that it was
serving the needs of the state better
than any school of Pharmacy in the
country. .
Chief Featherstone, who was sus
pended two weeks ago after being
charged with assisting in kidriappin?
Carl Weligand, local attorney, wanted
on charge of non-support, was re-
nstated last week. Manager Knox
explaining his action in reinstating
Featherstone, said that although a
blunder had been committed by Feath
erstone, his good record made his
case deserve reconsidering.

TEN INNINGS ON FRIDAY
Friday Game Here is Pretty
Pitching Dual Between Cap
tain Bryson and Holland
Playing errorless ball in both
games, Carolina made a clean sweep
of the 1924 three game series with
the University of Virginia by de
feating the Cavaliers 3-2 in Chapel
Hill on Friday and 13-9 in Greensboro
on Saturday. The first contest was
a ten inning pitcher's dual between
Captain Bryson and Captain Holland,
with only one extra base being made.
The Gate City game was a free-hitting
affair, five pitchers being used,
two homers, seven triples and four
doubles were collected and the two
opposing Captains ended the game
in the box.
Virginia scored a brace of runs
in the sixth inning of Friday's game
and broke the scoreless tie only to
have the Tar Heels knot it in the
eight and win it in the tenth. McCoy
led off With a single to left field.
Hubbard laid down a sacrarice bunt
and was safe at first when Bryson at
tempted to throw out Hubbard at sec
ond, i . Dietrick sacrificed and Bro-
naugh placed a neat single in right
field, scoring both McCoy and Hub
bard, .
Bonner started things off for Caro
lina in the eight with a double and
was, followd by Coffey with a single.
Morris then poled out a long sacri
fice fly and both Bonner and Coffey
scored when Parrish errored the ball
at the home plate. In the tenth Casey
Morris made a base on balls good for
two bases when, the Virginia catcher
let one- of Holland s wild babies get
away. He then went to third when

CAROLINA GETS
TWO DECISIONS
Both Tar Heel Teams Win in the
Tulane-Sewanee-Carolina
Triangular Debate
Carolina won a unanimous victory
over the University of the South
(Sewanee), in the third intercollegiate
debate of the year, held Friday night
in Gerrard Hall. The Tar Heels
defended the affirmative side of the
query "Resolved: That the Constitu
tion of the United States be so
amended as to permit Congress to
over-ride a decision of the Supreme
Court on the constitutionality of an
act of Congress." Carolina's debaters
were Julian R. Allsbrook, of Roanoke
Rapids, and Dennis G. Downing, of
Fayetteville. Sewanee, upholding the
negative, was represented by Wil
liam S. Turner and J. M. Dick, Jr.
At the same time Carolina's negative
team, C. A. Peeler, of Salisbury, and
G. C. Hampton, Jr., of Chapel Hill,
won a two to one decision over Tu
lane's affirmative at New Orleans.
Sewanee's affirmative and Tulane's
negative, simultaneously, clashed at
Sewanee, Tenn.
Carolina completely outclassed the
visitors, both in argument and in de
livery. They based their plea on
three contentions: First, that certain
needed political, economic, and social
changes are hindered by a very con
servative Supreme Court; second,
that the present system whereby the
Suprem Court can declare a law un
constitutional is contrary to a demo
cratic system of government; third,
that the proposed plan was a conser
vative, expedient plan, and not radi
cal, as some supposed.
The Negative developed two phases
of the question: first, that the plan
automatically brings about a danger
ous and radical form of amending the
Federal Constitution; second, that it
would constitute a radical change in
our form of government.
Both Carolina men did exceptionally
well, with Downing probably the
strong man of the team. His con
sructive speech included some very
