Hank Garrity's Deacons threw a mon key wrench in the State Championship machine on wore f ield Thursday after- tbe invading - noon when they turned Tar Heels back with the worst of a to 1 argument The Tar Heels were in a fighting mood when they left the home lair, but all the fight in the world can not overcome the breaks in baseball. Sorrell, Wake Forest sophomore, was in vincible, and good pitching with the breaks going well is a combination that even a major, league aggregation cannot surmount.; , .'.''. The cloudy' day greatly aided the op posing flingers, for both are fast ball hurlers, and their fast ones looked like Streaks of white as they flashed toward the batters. Sorrell concluded his game with '"a perfect exhibition in the ninth, when he retired the side on nine pitched bails. Holshouser held the situation well in hand throughout the game, walk ing only two men and holding the Bap tists , to nine . well scattered safeties. They were only able to bunch hits off him in the fifth, and then the Tar Heels cut them off without a score. Wake Forest opened the scoring in the sixth. Simmons doubled and scored when Motsinger dumped a Texas leaguer to "short center. They tallied again in the next canto for their last score of the game. Hood 'stopped one of Hol shouser's fast balls with his body, stole second and crossed the plate when Tim berlake singled sharply through the in field. .V.v,. The Hillians tallied their lone marker in the eighth. "Rabbit" Bonner was hit by Sorrell, and on the next play he stole I to the middle station. Gibson came uol and drove a clean single to the outfield, the "Rabbit" Crossing the plate on the throw-in. Carolina lost a good opportu mty to score in the fifth. Stanton opened the inning with a two-baser to center, went to third on an infield out Then after the second out had been made, Johnson popped to Riley in an attempt to work the squeeze play. .

D E L I V ERSt8 LECTURES lectures and Personal Interviews Well - Received. After eight lectures on the campus and numerous personal interviews with students, Allyn K. Foster, secretary of the Northern Baptist Education Board, in Friday morning's chapel concluded a series of what are claimed to be some of the best religlousttalks every delivered on the Hill. Dr. Foster, who was brought to Chapel Hill by the Y. M. C. A, began his lec tures Monday night when he appeared in uerrard hall before an appreciative audi . ence. He also informally addressed the "Y" cabinet meeting that evening after his "public appearance, when he empha sized the importance of the "Y" work on tne college campus. On Tuesday evening Dr. Foster gave tne religious workers' council an informal talk when they met at the Methodist church, andlmmediately afterward again gave a lecture in Gerrard hall Tor the public. . ' The visiting lecturer also appeared in enapel three mornings in the earlier part of the week, at which time he particu lar! stressed the relation of science to religion and effectively pointed out why it was not in conflict with Christianity. Interviews with students and others were-also arranged for Dr. Foster during his brief stay on the campus. All the talks were exceedingly well received here The Carolina debaters, defending the affirmative side of the query, "Reiolvedr That the proposed amendment to the fed eral constitution authorizing the regula tion of child labor should be adopted," won a unanimous decision over the Wash ington and Lee team Thursday night in Gerrard hall. Carolina was represented by Malcolm M. Young and A. K. King Washington and Lee was represented by Charles H. Hamilton and Wilson M Roach. ' The arguments submitted by the af firmative were: that the purpose of a government is to protect its people; that the constitution as it now stands does not permit adequate protection of chil dren; that state laws are not uniform or adequate; that existing conditions per mit unfair competition between states having child labor laws and those not having them; that a federal law will not interfere with states' rights. The nega tive argued: that the child labor ques tion is not so distressing after all; that the states are working on this where necessary; that varying conditions in var ious states would make a uniform law impracticable! that such a law would be a great step in building up a bureaucra cy; that it would give Congress a useless and dangerous amount of power; that the peope have shown disapproval by rejecting it in the states where it has been voted on. , , The -judges were A. S. Keister, C Cunningham, and C. E. Phillips. Pre- skling'officers were: Dr. H. H. Williams, president, and vBenjamin Eaton, secre tary. fFrom Vanderbilt Where He Is Head of English Department.

Fetzer's Sluggers Plan a Clean Come-Back in Today's Game. . MIGRATION TO DURHAM Enthusiastic Hordes Will See Today's - Encounter, Which Tells the Tale. Carolina's athletic history is filled with the stories of strong comebacks, and the lar Heels are planning to stage another one today. Duke will be met in Durham in the second of this year's three eame series with the Methodists. In each of the last two seasons they have won tfie first of the series from the Fetzerites, only to lose the second encounter before the determined onslaughts of the revenge- hunting Hillians. The 5 o 2 defeat at the hands of the royalists on Tuesday was the first set back that the Tar Heels have received in their dash toward another state cham pionsliip, "and neither the team nor the student body feel like losing out with out a hard fight The general feeling on the campus is that if the rain had not prevented the game being finished the story would have been different, for Bill Ferebee was just striking LIS strid when the game was called in theseventh can to. He struck out three men in that inning, and that was going strong with a Wet hull. Slich lncL- nnt . .J .11 1 Dbl4iX& twice in the same place and toda must tell another tale. Since losing the first game to the Baptists, another loss to the Methodist nine would virtually put the' Tar Heels out of the race. : The feeling on the campus is running high, and practically the entire student body will migrate to the Bull City this afternoon. Every available bus and" "Liz- Eie" will be drafted into service to carry the gang. The usual crowd of enthusi astic, but financially defunct, students will start walking before the game, in the hope that they will be picked up by the passing autoists. One thing is certain, and that is that by hook or crook Caro lina will move to Durham today. Time for the game will find the bleachers filled with Tar Heels, and they will be there to stay till the last man is out and the game is safe on ice.. All Past Records Surpassed in Program Wednesday - Night. FITCH FINE IN SOLO WORK Jerome Swinford Stars Again, This lime in Two Song Groups; Audience Delighted. By Lvcy F. Lay After having proved to the musical world that they have reached the high est peak of excellence in choral singing, the University Glee Club sang before an enthusiastic audience in Memorial hall on Wednesday night and proved their ability to their home ground supporters. The glee club has improved tremendously since their last recital on the Hill, and the- performance left the audience with a feeling of awe and reverence for the abil ity with which Mr. Weaver has directed Preliminary Postponed ' The preliminary to selec.t Car olina's representative to the Southern Oratorical contest, an nounced for Monday night, has been postponed until Tuesday be cause of the Fleece tapping Mon day night. The final contest-will be held Saturday, May 16, at the University of Kentucky, Lexing ton, Ky. Speeches in the, pre liminary should not be over 15 minutes, while 12 minutes is recommended.

The program given Wednesday night included many of the numbers sung at the J anuary recital here and several new ones which were used in the Kansas City performance. The program presented- a variety of some of the highest types of choral music, and the singing was a mar velous revelation of tone effects. Mr. Weaver's directing was so perfect .that one. almost forgot his presence in many of the numbers ; so effective was the sing- mg. The Bifch chorale, "Grant us to do with zeal," which was the best of the three chorales given at the January con cert, was sung with ease and exquisite shading. The club maintained an organ like background for Mr. Fitch's solo. In the "Moorish Serenade" the piano ac companiment of Mr. Fitch was exceed ingly lovely. "Ma Little Banjo" received even more applause than last time. Al ways a favorite with audiences, it was sung with distinct originality and deli cacy In the group of old sacred songs. "Plo rate, Filii Israel," as a" new number for the glee club, received enthusiastic ap plause.

HAD WIDE EXPERIENCE Can a Man Be a Christian Today Is General Topic The first lecture of the McNair series on the mutual bearing of science and re ligion upon each other was delivered last night by President William Louis Po- teat, LL.D., of Wake Forest college, to a large and interested audience,gathered in Memorial hall. The -second iecture under the general topic chosen, by Dr, Poteat. "Can a Man bea Christian To- day?" will be given tonight at 8:30 in the same hall, and will be followed by the final lecture Sunday night at 8 o'clock No one came away f rom thei address last night not convinced that Dr. Poteat is an able speaker and that he always has a great message to bring to his hear ers. Though he is now nearing his 70th year, he has never lost the enthusiasm and fervor that has been characteristic through many years of teaching. ' Dr. Poteat has been president of Wake Forest Bince 1905 and has been a teacher in that institution siiuitj -4878. - lie -hag had a wide experience and demand as' a lecturer, having been lecturer on the Gay Fund at the Southern Baptist Theologi cal seminary,- Louisville, 1900;- Brooks lecturer on science and religion in Ham ilton Theological seminary, 1904-05, and lecturer on the Lewis Holland Founda tion at the Southwestern Baptist Theo logical seminary, 1915. He has held of- Annual Tapping Abundance of fleece Material. On Monday evening the large majority of the student body, will crowd into Me morial hall to be present at one of the most exciting events of the whole col lege year; an occasion when excitement and enthusiasm will run high, leavened by a touch of disappointment; for neces sarily the tapping of the Order of the Golden Fleece will be a disappointment to many. During its long and success ful life of 22 years, the Fleece has tapped 191 men, but no one can possibly estimate the number who had a faint hope that they would receive the highest honor that Carolina students can bestow. Immediately preceding the tapping cer emony, the annual address will be made by Dr. Edwin Mims, head of the Depart ment oi English at Vanderbilt univer sity, a former member of the University faculty. - His" subject for the address. "Colleges Under Fire, has aroused mm:h interest, and his speech will probably rank with the excelent one made by Dr. Smith, of Washington and Lee, which was given at the Fleece Tapping last year. Dr. Mims is well known as a speaker. A Tah Heel reporter has made out a preliminary "dope-sheet" anticipating the men who may be .picked for the Fleece. Since the most important characteristic of a Fleece candidate must be a fine per- sonality, and since a group of men, nat urally have . different ideas as to the proper judging of a man's character, the pick of any one student on the campus cannot hope to be correct. The Fleece, composed of the men taken in last spring, works constantly on the matter, and when it has finished its job ik gives annu ity to some nine or ten men the honor of wearing the "emblem of'Jason."" The members of the Fleece have in the past and will in the future come as near reaching an honest selection without be ing biased as any organization existing. 'The very first initiates included eight from the Class of 1904 and eight from the Class of 1905: the first group helnar admitted in 1905. Since then the pick has fluctuated between seven and. ten. Among the, names ot tne men oi the Class of 1905 is found the name of Charles T. Woollen. Dr. Williams has been from the founding of the Order an hoporary member, and Dr. Chase was "tapped" in 1922. 'X The tapping itself constitutes one of the most dramatic and exciting events of the whole. The air of excitement and organizations "Laboratory and Pulpit' and '.'The New Peace" are among the books of which he is author. is author.

Carolina is host of the different col leges of the state that are here for the annuul state championship track meet which began yesterday and will continue through today. The preliminaries were held yesterday in all the events except the mile, two mile, pole vault, and high jump. The finals will be run off today. The Tar Heels won the state meet last year by a good score, and all indications point to a win this year by the locals. They have shattered records right and left, and weather favorable.-Jiid fidr to establish new marks in the flnuls today. -If advance dope runs true to form, Carolina will emerge from the meet with about 100 points, State will come second, Uuke third, Wake Forest fourth. David son fifth, with Elon and Guilford fighting for the cellar position. The first places will nrobahlv he ly distributed between Carolina and Stutp but first places will not win the meet, because there arc five, places to win in each event. First place counts 5 points. second place 4, third place 3, fourth place 2, and fifth place 1. The best balanced team In the: field and running events will be winner, and Carolina undoubtedly has the best balunced team in the state. This will be the last performance of the University of North Carolina track team on the home track. Two other meets are on the schedule.- the last one being held at Scwanee to decide th southern ,conference churnpionshlp. Car- ' olina has a team that has made a bril liant record all season and one that has won praise over the South. Couch Cur ley Byrd, of the University of Maryland, says Carolina "bids fair to win the South- ern Conference championship, as they seem to have the fastest and best bal anced truck and field squad in the South." As an added feature to today's meet. the freshman teams of all state institu tions will hold the finals for freshman . championship of North Carolina. The , preliminaries were held yesterday after noon..' ' '.'.- ! . , serves to enhance the thrill of the actual "pounding" of the men selected.

The Gobblers were met on the northern trip and defeated by a score of fl to 2, and V the locals are out to repeat their victory. The athletic record against Old Dominion is ch an for this season. It Includes base ball wins over Hamp(ien-Sidney, V.P.I., V.M.I., W. and L., and Virginia, and track wins over V.P.I., W. and L., Wil liam and Mary, and Virginiu. That is a record to be proud of and one that the dope says should be lengthened on Mon day. ' Bill Ferebee pitched the game against the Techraen on the trip and held them helpless before his assortment of slants and twisters. They could only touch his stuff for five hits, and both of their tal lies came as a result of Tar Heel errors. His .teominates slashed out seven safe- x ties for eleven bases and gave him six runs as a working margin. Bill may be called to jjtve the Gobblers another chance at his stuff, but Coach Fetzer also has Holshouser, Poyner, and Coltrane in shape to show the visitors a good time.
