Last year the cup was won by the
Wilson high school, represented by Miss
Catherine Ware and Fred Carr, both of
whom are in the .contests this year. The
Durham high school was runner-up last
year and it is interesting to note that
Miss Lucille Mulholland, who was a mem
ber of the team that debated Wilson last
year, is again representing Durham. Two
years ago the Elisabeth City high school
won the cup, while Durham won it the
two previous years. Durham is the only
school to win the cup permanently, hav
ing won the coveted trophy two years

cup Professor M. C. S. Noble will pre

With both teams playing remarkably
good baseball for an early season game,
Guilford and Carolina battled for 10
innings on Emerson field Monday, a dou
ble by Stanton followed by Sharpe's
single in the 10th frame breaking a 4-ail
tie and giving the Tar Heels the game
by a one-run margin.
. The Quakers' premier pitcher, Shad
Smith, did the hurling for the visitors
and was touched for 10 hits, several of
them for extra bases. He kept them
pretty well scattered, however, and er
rors by his teammates played a part in
the scoring. Poyner started on the
mound for Carolina but was wild, and
Coach Fetzer sent in Coltrane at the
end of the third inning. Guilford made
three hits and two runs off Poyner. Col
trane was touched for seven hits in his
seven innings but the Quakers were ble
to shove only two runs across on him.
The visitors started the scoring in the
first inning when Smithdeal singled, went
to second on a sacrifice, stole third and
was sacrificed home. Carolina did not
score in the initial frame but "Hoot"
Gibson connected with one of Smith's
slants in the second inning and sent it
to the fence for a home run, tieing the
score.
Guilford got another run in the third
and increased her lead to three in the
fourth inning when Smith, Lindley, and
Smithdeal all hit With a three run lead
staring them in the face the Tar Heels
proceeded to tie the score. Gibson sin
gled and Sharpe was hit by Smith. Col
trane's hit to the infield was errored and
Boner came to bat with the bases loaded.
The "Rabbit" picked out a good .one and
sent it just inside the third base line for
a two base bingie that sent three men
across the home plate.
Coltrane and Smith 'settled down to
work and for the next five innings while
both made threats neither team scored.
In the 10th inning after two men were
out Stanton doubled and romped home
with the winning run when Sharpe sin
gled through short.
Both teams played good early season
ball au though several errors were chalked
up to each. Sharpe, catching his first
game for Carolina, worked nicely and is
credited with three assists as a result of
the surcness of his peg to second. Gib
son hit hard and pulled a spectacular
catch in, right field. Johnnie Johnson
made several hard stops at short and
contributed a hit to the Tar Heel total
as well. Smithdeal was probably the
most outstanding player for the visitors,
leading the batting and capturing every
thing that came to center field with case.

THE TWO-IN-ONE
ISSUE MAGAZINE
BLOSSOMS FORTH
Reviewer Takes Crack At Anti-
Koch Article
OTHERWISE SANE ISSUE
Several Articles in Current Issue Are
Worth While to Readers.
T - '. .
. ! By The Cbossroads ,
Editor James Edward Hawkins has
blossomed forth, in a consolidated num
ber of the Carolina Magazine with' a
graceful and highly sensible explanation
of the chronic lateness of his publica
tion. He contends, and rightly we be
lieve, that the Magazine has followed a
policy of waiting until enough respecta
ble material has been secured to ' war
rant an issue, rather , than coming out
on time containing anything and every
thing that has happened to turn up, ir
respective of its quality. Our apologies
to Mr. Hawkins for many naughty words
which in our ignorance we have pre
viously uttered. .''.;'', v
Hawkins next proceeds to substantiate
himself in offering an all-star issue of
tnc Magazine. The content is excellent.
The fact that we have no sympathy with
some of the opinions advanced by sev
eral articles does not blind us to the fact
that they are perhaps sincere on . the
parts of the respective authors, and are
intelligently stated. The one exception
is Frederick H. Koch by Charles David
North. The study has some sane' obser
vations ; but it makes no pretense at uni
ty, and leaves a jumbled impression of
nothingness; it is inconsistent, illogical
and indefinite. The autho has hinted at
some dozen different themes, each of
which could be expanded into a lengthy
essay; yet all that he has said could be
stated in a sentence of twenty words. As
a purely personal expression, we would
like to say that it seems foolish to sling
mud at Professor Koch, when there are
so many other persons who really de
serve aqua-terranian decoration..
, "Hell's Vestibule", too, has fallen in
our estimation. ' This column is usually
delightful; but the selections this time
really have no place among the damned.
With, the exception of -a few lines -the
whole page is pretty good. They are

TO. IMPROVE OLD WEL
South
Building to Be Remodelled
' During Summer.
. During the past week work improv
ing the campus. in the neighborhood of
the Quadrangle has gone forward stead
ily, Brick gutters have been laid for
the walks and several new walks made.
A feature of the new arrangement is
closed drive between the buildings.- This
drive can be entered only behind Dormi
tory D. which will' eliminate unneces
driving through the Quadrangl&JfTI!
walks will be completed during thk
er holidays. Grass will be planted, be
tween the walks and trees and shrubbery
in the grass plots and around 'the build
ings. This will complete the present
plans for improving that part of the
campus, i .
ine. next improvements which are
planned are for the space around the
Well. Walks similar to those in the
Quadrangle will be laid between Old
West and Old East. Two will run diag
onally and one straight across between
these buildings. The diagonal walks will
divide the7 space into four parts. The
one containing the Well together with a
half circle at the intersection of the
walks will be paced with flagstones. In
the other three spaces, along the walks
and around the buildings grass and
shrubbery will be planted. These im
provements will be very elaborate, It is
estimated that at .least seven thousand
dollars will be spent on this work which
will be, started as soon as materials are
available. It is hoped that this may be
completed by commencement but delays
in getting the material will probably
make this impossible. When Cameron
Avenue is paved and South Building is
remodeled to be - used as the adminis
tration building this will be in every
sense the center of the campus.
The new budget allots $150,000 for
remodeling South. The work will be
started in July and will probably be
completed about Christmas. - Work will
then be started on -Alumni which will be
remodeled and used as a class room
building. ' '

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB RETURNS
FROM ITS TRIP TO KANSAS CITY
Appeared Before Conference of National Music Supervisors
and Received Unstinted Fraise Keceived f lattering
Offers to Sing in Large Cities Ranging from
. New York to San Francisco.
As a grand finale to their trip to
Kansas City, the University Glee Club
will sing in chapel this morning before
the student body and the visiting high
school representatives.
The University Glee Club returned
to Chapel Hill Tuesday night from what
is probably the longest trip ever at
tempted by any Carolina organization.
The club, composed of 40 voices and
Director P. J. Weaver, appeared be
fore the National ' Music Supervisors'
Conference at their annual meeting in
Kansas City April 2 and received the
unstinted praise and acknowledgment of
merit from that body.
The club sang before 10,000 people and
were given many favorable and. flattering
comments by the best musicians in the
states. To give an indication of the
way in which the club carried the large
conference of music lovers off its feet, It
received offers from 35 cities ranging
all the way from New York City to San
Francisco to appear in concert in those
cities. It was urged to enter tne na
tional intercolegiate choral club con
test in New York next year with ex
pressed opinions that it was the best
college choral organization the supervis
ors have ever heard. -
The appearance before the music con
ference in Kansas City was last Thurs
day. Friday night a free concert was
given in the union station at St. Louis.
Saturday night it appeared in concert
at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
Three concerts were given in Asheville
Sunday and Monday. One concert was
given at Oteen, one at Grove Park Inn
and another at the City Auditorium.
The trip to Kansas City was made
possible largely by contributions received
from Mr. Caesar Cone; of Greensboro;
Mr. James A. Gray, of Winston-Salem ;
Mr. and Mrs. John Sprunt Hill, of Dur
ham; Mrs. George Stephens, of Ashe
ville, and Mr. Leslie Weil, of Goldsboro.
The trip was not only the largest and
longest ever attempted by any University
organization, but it was also the big
gest ever attempted by any college glee
club of the South. It was made possible
by the contributions of these six citizens
of the slate. The cost of the trip is said
to have been about $5,000.
In their appearance before the music
conference in Kansas City they received
such enthusiastic applause that it was
with difficulty that they could start their
new numbers. Several times the whole
conference stood up to applaud their
work. At the end of the concert so
many people flocked to the rostrum to
congratulate them that it took the men
more than an hour to get away from
the hall. ,
T. P. Giddings, who is known as one
of the most severe critics of choral mu
sic, said tothe club: "After hearing
every college organization in the United
States, I feel that your club is doing
the finest work in the country. There
are only two choruses in the United
Siltes that have produced perfect tone
effect one is the St. Olaf choir (a goup
of American of Norwegian descent that
tours the country annually) and the
other is your glee club." This high trib
uite is typical of many which came to
the ears of Mr. Weaver. Their singing
was constantly compared with the Har
vard 'glee club, and the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune says that "The Harvard
glee club no longer stands alone. ... If
the Harvard glee club has found a rival
in the North Carolina organization, Dr.
Davidson has found one In Mr. Weaver,
who, after all, is mainly responsible for
the artistics merit of the choir. He has
developed the club into a sensitive and
marvelously flexible instrument, capable
of singing any music as it should be
sung. The men know how to sing, and
above all, understand what they sing."
Dr. C. A. Fullerton, head of the mu
sic department of the Iowa State Teach
ers college, spoke of the concert in Kans
as City in high terms of praise. He said:
','That's the rnost significant single con
tribution to American music in the last
15 years. I know, about music conditions
in the South and therefore I. know what
it is to accomplish such remarkable re
sults with untrained material In such a
short time." " - ,
The critic of one of the Asheville pa
pers, Air. am fisner, writes! "There
are so many good things to say that it is
hard to find a starting point. The stand
ard set by these young men and their
director is ' Such that not only the old
graduates of the University, but all

MEN CHOSEN FOR
SPRING DEBATES
King, Young, Justus and Liv
ingston Chosen.
FOR TRIANGLE DEBATE
With Johns Hopkins and Washington
and Lee Universities.
Debaters to represent Carolina in the
annual Johns Hopkins-Washington and
Lee debate were, selected in an open pre
liminary held Wednesday night in the
Phi hall. The query is: Reeolved That
the proposed amendment to the Federal
constitution authorizing the regulation
of child labor should be adopted.
Carolina's affirmative, which will meet
Washington and Lee's negative in Chapel
Hill, is to be upheld by A. K. King, of
Hendersonville, and Malcolm M. Young,
of Durham. The alternate for the af
firmative is Ben Eaton. : ' i
The Tar Heel negative, meeting Johns
Hopkins in Baltimore, George Washing
ton in Washington, D. C, and possibly
the University of Maryland in College
Park, is to be represented by Theodore
B. Livingston, of Asheville, and Ernest
Justus, of Flat Hock. This is the
second time Livingston and Justus have
debated together this year." The nega
tive alternate is A. L. Groce, of Candler,
Men trying out were; Affirmative, M.M,
Young, Ben Eaton, A. K. King and M.
H. Light. Negative, Sidney G. Chappell,
Ernest L. Justus, Theodore B. Living
ston, A. L. Groce, and Ludlow T. Rog
ers. Judges were Prof. B. B. Lane,
Claude F. Curry, and Professor Bynum,
of the department of geology.
In the triangle last year Carolina de
feated Johns Hopkins but lost to Wash
ington and Lee. Justus was a member
the team last year which defeated
Johns Hopkins, while Young was a mem
ber of the team which lost to Washing
ton and Lee. George Washington uni
versity was also defeated by the Tar
Heels last year. Washington and Lee
has defeated Carolina for three straight
years, -and with the "jinx" broken against
West Virginia, a team defeated recently
for the first time in three years, Tar Heel
debate artists are hoping for a similar
change of luck against the Generals.
