The victorious Tar Heels, winners of
nine consecutive diamond contests, after
playing Maryland at College Park Mon
day and Tuesday and Georgetown at the
nation's capital Wednesday, will Teturn
to home territory to engage Lcnoir
Rhyne Friday on Emerson Field.
The student body is looking forward
to seeing its team again in action on its
home diamond. It's Virginia trip was a
phenomenal success and Friday after
noon the Tar Heels are expected to place
another- North Carolina team on the
shelf as far as state honors are con
cerned. Pre-game dope seems to point all in
favor of Fetzer's blue and white nine,
but baseball is ever uncertain. Lenoir,
by virtue of a belated ninth inning bat
ting rally, recently nosed out the Guil
ford Quakers who have twiced trailed the
slugging Tar Heels by only one marker.
But Carolina's consistently steady pitch
ing staff and her equally consistent slug
ging tip the scales in her favor. With
the unparalelled success of their Virginia
trip to give them confidence the Tar
Heels will enter the contest Friday as
general favorites.
For next week Bonner's aggregation
has three games carded, all three of
which will have important results on the
race for the state championship. Tues
day the Duke University nine will jour
ney over, to Chapel Hill to hook up
with Carolina on Emerson Field. Thurs
day the Tar Heels hop over to Wake
Forest to engage Gharrity's Demon Dea
cons and Saturday they play a return
game with Duke in Durham. , Eight of
the remaining games are to be played at
Chapel Hill, so the students will rave
plenty of chances to see the team in ac
tion. The following men have handed their
names to Dean J. F. Royster as candi
dates for the Mangum Medal: W. S.
Berryhill, W. H. Coletranc, D. R. Hod
Bin. C R. Jonas and J. M. Saunders.

a decisive victory, taking 10 first places
while Virginia got but four.
McPherson and Castleman, who were
old rivals, met for the first time in col
lege varsity competition in the hundred
Giersch led the century run to the 80-
yard mark and looked like a probable
winner, but McPherson came from the
rear to win in a brilliant finish from
Castleman in 10 seconds fiat. In the
220, McPherson went to the mark against
five men, all of whom had outrun him
before. He clipped one-fifth of a second
off the furlong, negotiating the distance
in 22 seconds flat, thereby establishing a
new University record and bettering the
state record. McPherson also tied for
second place with Darby, of Virginia,
in the high hurdles, which made liim high
point man of the meet. .
Ambrose raised his own record in the
high jump to 5 ft. 11 1-2 in., which bet
ters both state and University records.

ting a new mark. On his first jump he
made 22 ft. 4 in., just one inch short
of the college record.
Carolina made a clean sweep in the
mile run and shot put.- Giersch ran a
splendid race in the low hurdles, equal
ing the record of 25 flat set by Moore
lust jovar. Woodaid did excellent work
in the broad jump, getting almost 22 ft.
Corbett and Smiley reached a very cred-
ituble height in the pole vault, tying for
first place. Goodwin ran the two mile
race in good form and followed Purser
to the tape. . .'

ident ex officio of the Board of Trus
tees, inducted Dr. Gruham Into the

SAVE POSTPONED
CARNIVAL A YEAR
Much Heralded Event Will Not Take
Place Until 1926 Schedule
Too Crowded.
The Carolina Carnival will be post
poned until next spring, due to the ex
tremely crowded schedule for this
quarter.
At a meeting last night of the Car
nival Board this move was made,. The
huge amount of work that would be
entailed in producing this big gala oc
casion would have to be done in such
a short time and under such competi
tion from other campus attractions,
that the high hopes of the Board for
the Carnival . would probably be
doomed to disappointment. So the
event was postponed for a year.
Already this occasion has been in
corporated in the University calendar
for next year as a definite part of the
spring quarter, and plans are under
way for it now. It will undoubtedly be
in the future one of the biggest events
of the school year.
DEAN CONFERENCE
BEGINS TOMORROW
Chase Delivers Welcome Ad

State College.
The University is host this week to the
National Conference of Deans and Ad
visers of Men which is holding its sev
enth annual meeting. Dean Rienow, of
the University of Iowa, is president of
the group. Institutions that are mem

three-fourths of this number, will be rep
resented in the meeting here.
The meeting here is especially signifi
cant for severul reasons. This is the first
national body ever entertained at the
University. Not until the Carolina Inn
was built was it possible for the Univer
sity to invite groups like this. This is
the first meeting of this group cast of
Kentucky, and it is very probable that at
this meeting there will be a discussion
regarding forming an eastern section of
the conference, to meet separately In al
ternate years.
The conference programs during the
last few years have contained the fol
lowing items, which Indicate the scope
of work that is done by the various deans'
offices: "Should a student choose his
course at the beginning or close of the
freshman year? Student forum move
ment, rooming house inspection, voca
tional and educational guidance activi
ties in American colleges and universi
ties, maintaining close personal contact
with students 4in a large university, stu

TULANE DEBATES
HERE SATURDAY
In the Tulane-Sewanee-Caro-lina
Triangle.
DEFEATED TULANE IN 1924
APE LECTURER WAS
NEVER INVITED HERE
German Professor Mixed Up Presi
dent Chase States Lecture
Never Scheduled.
Further movements in the ,Chase-Koeh-
er case have been awaited since Presi
dent Chase issued a statement labelling
as "absolutely incorrect" a dispatch in
the newspapers to the effect that an ar
rangement with Dr. Wolfgang Koehler
of the University , of Berlin for a series
of lectures here had been terminated
because of differences regarding the dis
cussion of evolution. Dr. Chase said the
University had never invited Dr. Koehler
to speak here.
Dr. .Chase's statement follows:
"I see a statement in Sunday's pa
pers, under a Worcester, Mass., dateline,
that the University of North Carolina
has terminated arrangements for a series
of lectures scheduled to be delivered
here by Dr. Wolfgang Koehler, of the
University of Berlin, on the ground that
his proposed series fringes too closely on
evolution to be acceptable.
"This statement is absolutely Incorrect.
Dr. Koehler, who is exchange lecturer at
Clark University, has not been scheduled
to lecture here, nor has any invitation
been extended to him by the University.
Had such lectures been scheduled, there
fs most certainly no reason why' they
should not be given."
eace Oratorical
Contest May 25th
The state-wide Peace Oratorical con
test will be held in Raleigh either May
25 or 26, according to announcement from
state headquarters at Guilford college.

college professor of public speaking, in
charge of arrangements.
Carolina will be represented in the
contest and preliminaries will "be fixed
at the next meeting of the debate council.

their speeches now. The preliminaries
will probably be held at leust three weeks
before the final contest.
Carolina's representative, M. A. James,
took second place at this contest last
year.

STATE HERE FOR
MEET SATURDAY
Dual Track Meet In Chapel Hill
Byrum Will Give Carolina
Stiff Opposition.
Couch Bob's track men are working
daily in preparation for a meet Satur
day afternoon, when State ' college will
invade Emerson field. There will be
fierce competition in the majority of the
events, because Coach Miller has been
working - his men with the meet with
Carolina as their objective.
The Techmen have lost two meets,
one to V. M. I. and the other to W. and
L. However, they defeated Duke, and
are out to even their record by a victory
over Carolina. State would ' rather de
feat Carolina than any other rival, and
would regard a victory as sweet revenge.
Hie Tar Heels will bend their efforts
toward keeping their slate clean, and a
fast meet cun be expected when the two
rival institutions clash Saturday.
The stiffest competition will probably
be in the dashes. Byrum, of State, won
first places in the 100, 220, and 440 in
the meet with Washington and Lee, In
the field events State is especially strong.
Pridgen has been doing good work in the
pole vault and broad jump, and the
weight events are taken care of by Rip
Bad Check Givers
Prove Poor Students
In connection with the work of the
office of the Den of Students In handling
the clerical work collected with the stu- -dent
council program for doing away
with bad checks, there has been made a
rather interesting comparison of the
scholustic record of the men who give
bad checks with that of other students.
So far 432 men in the student body
have given one or more bad checks this
year, Of these 324 have grades that
could be averaged. These 324 men made
an average grade of 3.75. The general
student average for the same period, in
cluding these men, of course, was 3:50.
This represents a big difference when so
many grades are averaged together.
Nearly three-fourths of these men are
upperclassmen, and the upperclassmen's
average for the same period was 3.31. In
other words, the average man who gets
into trouble giving bad checks is the man
who does not do very high grade class
room work. His carelessness, or inabil
ity to handle himself, seems to apply to
more than one side of his life.
