J TRY-OUTS ON APRIL .21ST Play-Production Class Staging Fa mous Tragedy. , . brary in the near future. The( announcement that "Romeo and Juliet" will be given in the Forest Thea tre Will be productive of much interest among those who are familiar with the beauty of the woodland playhouse. The spectacular production of "Prunella" in the Forest Theatre last spring was uni versally admired, and the romantic beau ty of "Romeo and Juliet" should make ,the setting especially appropriate. The 'staging of the famous balcony and tomb 'Scenes, as well as the minor scenes in the play, is being elaborately worked out, and the lighting experts are promising Some new anil strikingly beautiful effects. The charm of, Shakespeare's famous love story is too well known to require any words of explanation, and the play has been a favorite since its first pro duction. One of the most popular pro ductions of "Romeo and Juliet" has been Playing - recently- in '- New York, with Rollo Peters and Jane Cowl in the lead ing roles. 1 v : "Romeo and Juliet" has been selected for production this spring by the class in play-production under the supervise ion of the Carolina Playmakers.

INTERPRETS MOVEMENTS Discussion of Bryan and His Rise to ,, Power Delightful. William Allen White, nationally known publicist, delighted three good-sized audi ences here this week with lectures which he generally termed "Cycles of Cathay." Mr. White divided his lectures Into three cycles of American history, the first being the Cycle of the Revolution the second, the Cycle" of the Civil War, and the third, the Popularist Cycle. With these three general periods of American history he interpreted the movements in our nation that have lead to : independence, abolition of slavery, and representation in the government by the common man. He sounded the alarm that the dreams of the idealists of the past may have been carried too far in that the laborer may be getting too powerful. Outstanding in his lectures . was . the part wherein he gave a description; of William Jennings Bryan's rise to power in the Democratic party. Discussing the differences between v agitators i and "reapers," the western editor made the assertion that "Samuel Adams, Wendell Phillips and William Jennings Bryan were sowers who never reaped," and that "Washington, Lincoln and ; Roosevelt were reapers who never sowed" His series of lectures gave the Univer sity community one of the best inter pretations of the Popularity movement that has ever been heard here. His in terpretation of American history in gen eral Was exceedingly well received by his audiences. CAROLINA PLAYS GUILFORD TODAY Meet Quaker Team On Emer son Field At 4 P. M. GUILFORD TEAM STRONG Defeated N. C. State 2-1 "Shad" Smith Star Hurler. The Fetzerites, having disposed of Hampden-Sidney with comparative ease, face two hard games before leaving on their Easter trip, in the Guilford con test this afternoon and the United States Naval Academy game Friday. Both of these games are played on Emerson field. Guilford, expected before the season opened to be little more than an eye opener for the Tar Heels, appears now as one of the strongest college teams in the state and is looked to by the Caro lina players for a hard, close scrap. The Navy comes as an unknown quantity. In "Shad" Smith the Quakers have" a pitcher who ranks up along with the best collegiate hurlers. He beat State's would-be championship nine 2 to 1 re cently,-and the Guilford supporters are backing him to turn in another victory this afternoon. The Quaker infield, is characterized by one state sport writer as "steady and well balanced." With Smith on the mound and the Guilford infield playing tight ball tlie visitors will be hard to beat. Coach Fetzer's protegees looked good against Hampden-Sidney Monday and were slamming the ball all over the lot. "Slugger's Row" composed of Coffee, Hatley, Stanton and Gibson, not to men tion a couple of pitchers who also wield hefty bats ought to bring in some runs against almost any pitching short of the Walter Johnson brand. The infield did hot do so well as it has in practice but the day was cold and windy and probably threw the players somewhat off form. The weather handi capped the pitchers also. - Nobody knows who will draw mound duty against the Quakers or the Mid shipmen, probably Coach Bill himself won't know until shortly before the game; but the. indications are that the major portion of the burden will fall to Ferebee and Holshouser. Both are in fine shape and "going good." One will probably start against Guilford and the other against the Navy. The infield appears pretty well set tled with Stanton at first, Hatley sec ond, Johnson short, and Thomas on third. Coffee and Gibson appear to have center and right field sewed up, but whether the "Rabbit" will be in left field or behind the bat is a matter of con jecture. Sharpe worked nicely during the time that he was doing tlie receiving against Hampden-Sidney and Coach Bill may give him the call this afternoon. ; Acacia Initiates .

FIRE WIPES OUT FOSTER'S STORE Early Sunday Morning Blaze - Does Great Damage. STOCK IS TOTAL RUIN Chapel Hill Firemen Did Good Job of .Fire-Fighting. ! Foister's, t popular; commercial estab lishment of Chapel Hill, was virtually destroyed by fire, of unknown origin early Sunday morning. The fire was dis covered at 4 o'clock by roomers living in the upper story over Gooch's College Inn. The Chapel- Hill fire department promptly reached the scene and did un usually good work in extinguishing the blaze. The building was completely gutted by the flames and only the solid walls and new roof prevent a disastrous spreading of the fire. Four . lines of hose, three from the Franklin street main and one from the Fraternity Row hydrant, were laid and a steady flow of water was poured into the building for over two hours. The fire originated in the rear of the Foister building and the burning photog raphy material, ' in addition to large quantity of paper, caused a dense smoke and hot Are. The heat and smoke spread through the walls and seriously dam aged the upper floors of the three ad joining buildings. Gooch's banquet hall was" practically ruined. . , ' ''The building belonged to the Chapel Hill Insurance and Realty Company. Their loss is estimated at $20,000 par tially covered by insurance. J'Very little of the stock escaped un harmed, as the . heat nd water dam aged practically v everything that the flames left untouched. It is understood that Mr. Foister is planning on re-open ing his store, probably in the Strowd building, as soon as possible. THIRTY-TWO INTO PIR BETA KAPPA Dr. A.

Cocke,-Jr., who gave a short sketch of tlie history of Phi Beta Kappa and of the institution of the Alpha chapter here. He informed the audience that Dr. Hen derson was the president of this society when he was elected to it. The subject of Dr. Henderson's ad dress was "Scholarship from the Angle of Science." He described the present state of unrest that the world is in, dealing especially with America. He contrasted the national state of mind of today with that of before the war. Before the war this state of mind was one of unquestioning optimism, while to day it is one of unrest and questioning. He showed wherein science was respon sible for this state of mind and wherein it might alleviate it Dr. Henderson told how much the contributions of science have altered the manners and ways of living in the last 100 years. He told of the miracles that science has performed, which are- more wonderful than the miracles pf the Bible, and how the facts of today exceed the (Continued on page four) UNIVERSITY TRACK TEAM DEFEATS WASHINGTON AND LEE IN OPENER Large Crowd Sees Opening Track Meet Weather Excellent- Play Havoc With Southern Track Records Moore Star In High and Low Hurdles Howard Remark able Runner in Two-Mile Event. In a fast and thrilling encounter the Tar Heel track team defeated the Wash ington and .Lee cinder men 77 1-3 to 48 2-3 Saturday afternoon. The meet was witnessed by the largest crowd ever attending a dual meet at the. University. The entire Carolina track team showed splendid form in the initial contest of the outdoor season, and Coach Bob Fet zer's cinder path artists registered a well earned victory over the , strong Washington and Lee aggregation. The meet was undoubtedly the best that track enthusiasts have ever wit nessed on Emerson field. The weather was ideal and the General forced the Tar Heels to maintain a fast pace to gain victory. " Tlie onslaught on conference and state records demonstrate to some extent -the closeness of the competition and the cali bre of the individual performers. The low hurdle race shows this better than any other event. It was only through sheer nerve that Holt Moore was able to win by a few inches ina thrilling fin ish from Davis, the superb hurdler of Washington and Lee. , v Moore won both hurdle races, setting a new southern conference record for each. He lowered the high hurdle rec ord from 15 3-5 seconds to 15 2-5 sec onds, and the low hurdle record from 25 2-5 seconds to 24 3-10 seconds. Moore ran two of the prettiest hurdle races ever seen on Emerson field. Lane Howard, star distance man for the Generals,, lowered the Southern con ference record for the two mile run from 9. min. 58 sec, to 9 min. 55 3-10 sec. He ran a great race, finishing strong. "Andy" Bell showed his wares as a miler when he stepped the mile in 4 min. 27 sec., establishing a new state record and tying the southern record. He took the lead from the beginning and set a dazzling, pace all. the way. Hie crowd cheered wildly as he crossed the' line. Bell was iclosely , followed by Captain Dale Ranson, who finished in 4 min. 30 sec. "Cholly" Jonas,. Tar Heel half miler, lowered the state record from 2 min. 2 4-5 sec. to 2 min. 2 3-10 seconds. He took thead on the first straightaway of the last lap and held it in spite of a great sprint by Gordon, of Washington and Lee. Jeff Fordhnm turned in the highest score of the meet with 15 points. He took first place in the shot put, discus, and javelin. Milbank was high scorer for, the Gen erals with 10 points. He was the fastest man of the afternoon, taking first place in the 100 yard dash and the 220. The wonderful exhibition of endurance and condition by Howard in the two mile run and a fine sprint by Ganoway in the same race which brought him in third, were the outstanding features for Wash ington and Lee. McPherson did excellent work for the Tar. Heels in the dashes and high hur dles. Edwards, who has -only recently taken up track work, furnished a pleas ant surprise by taking first place in the 440. Ambrose reached a very creditable height in the high jump, and Woodard took Just place in the broad jump. Good will showed the stands and other track men liow to finish on his nerve and grit In the two mile.' Buchanan, who was not officially entered in the mile, followed his teammates, Bell and Ranson, to the tape, negotiating the distance in 4 min. 37 sec. , " Out of the fourteen events participated in Carolina took nine first places and tied for another, leaving just four first places and a tie for the Generals. . . li t ; Summary of the meet: ''.'". i 100 yards Milbank (W. & L.), Teague (Carolina), McPherson (Carolina), Time 10 seconds flat. j 220 yards Milbank (W. & L.), Me Pherson (Carolina), Edwards (Caro lina).

VIRGINIA WON 109 TO 16 Probably Two , Track ' Meets ! During , 'Easter Holidays. The Carolina track team will meet Virginia at Charlottesville April 15 in the first dual meet between tlie two in stitutions since 1921, when Virginia overwhelmed the Tar: Heel forces by the score of 109 to 16. Both teams are preparing for this en gagement, . Virginia seeking r to uphold her supremacy in track, which has not been seriously threatened by Carolina in a number of years. The Tar Heels hope to reach mid-season form for this meet, and are . bending every effort toward coming through . the meet successfully. When the Cavaliers and Tar Heels match their ability on the cinder path the feathers will fly thick, and fast. The Virginia team has good men in practically every event., The dashes are well .taken care of, while t the quarter milera have a national reputation, 'j, Cap tain Jed Irving is one of the best half milers in- the country. The- strength in the two mile is; unknown, since both of thei two milers finished last year. The team has a letter man in the -mile, and the weight events are filled by men with great ability. I The Cavaliers showed up especially good In the Conference .meet last fall. After the? meet with "Virginia,' Caro lina will probably send representatives to the Southern relay which will be held at Georgia Teach April 18. There will be a four mile relay team composed of four of 'tlie following men: Bell, Captain Dale Ranson, P. J. Ranson, Buchanan, Purser, Jonas. Moore will likely take part In the high hurdles.

THREE FOUR BASE HITS Poyner, Ferebee and Coltrane Hurl for Tar Heels Weather Not Cut Out for Baseball. Coach Bill Fetzer's Carolina Tar Heels opened their season Monday afternoon with a 14 to 5 victory over the Hamp den Sidney ball-tossers. Out-hitting, out fielding und out-playing tlie Virginians, the Tar Heels hud little difficulty in winning the gume, which was played in weuther more suitable for football than for baseball. ' The cold wind blowing across the field did not bother the Caro Una hitters, for they unlimbered their bats- and poled out three home-runs, a triple, two doubles and eight singles off Hundley's delivery. Stanton, Sides, Gibson, Coletrane and Thomas, with two safeties apiece, led the Tar Heel attack j while Bill ' Ferebee chipped in a clean homer in the fifth, Scoring Sides, who hud tripled aheud of him. Liesfeld's triple was the feature bingle for the visitors. . Harris and Brui ser pulled the-only double-killing of the afternoon when they got Coltraene at second and Bonner at first in the eighth. Coach Bill sent thirteen players into the fray showing that he has no fear of that "hoodoo" i number. - Poyner worked a nice game for ,the first three" frames, holding Hampden Sidney, to 1 hit and striking out 4 men. ' Bill Ferebee put the climax oh his two innings work with his circuit blow thut put the game on ice and gave him the credit for the victory. Coletrane in the last four innings showed some great stuff and looks good for sev eral wins this season. Carolina opened the scoring in the first inning. Bonner walked, went to second on Hatley's sacrifice hit and scored on Coffee's single. Coffee scored when Hundley walked Johnson with the bases loaded. Hampden Sidney evened the count in the second and went into the lead 3 to 2 in the first of the fourth, but Carolina sewed the gume up with 3 tal lies in her half of the fourth. The visi tors were not in striking distance after that. In spite of the loss of Morris, McDon ald and Bryson, four year veterans of last year's team, the Tar Heels look good for a successful season. Stanton, Sides and Hatley of the 1924 freshmen look like real finds. According to their showing this afternoon and the early sea Son records of the other Big Five teams, the Tar Heels should, have a good chance to bring the State Championship rag back to the "Hill" this year.
