Twelve men left roosting on the cush
ions and only six hits tells the story of
the V. if. I. game Monday afternoon on
, Emerson field. Inability to hit behind
the base runners kept the Tar Heels from
scoring several times In the pinches, and
the Gobblers romped off with the bin end
of a a to 4 score. The skies threatened
rain during the entire contest, and the
dark day was a handicap to players of
both sides. This defeat was the first
suffered b die Tar Heels at the hands
of any Virginia team this season.
The visitors did not play any "after
you" stuff, for they jumped right in the
first inning and tallied twice. Dear, first
man up, opened with a single to right
field. Adams followed with another one
baser, and both runners crossed the plate
when Captain Thomas drove a hot one to
the outfield. Carolina could not score
till the fourth, though they had a good
opening In the second. It was then that
their weak spot for the game came to
light Bill Sharpe, first man up in the
,inning, hit safely, Johnson singled after
him and Stanton's sacrifice sent the run
ners to third and second. Then with
only one away the Tar Heels failed to
score, for Ferebee popped out and Bon
ner retired the side with a long drive to
the left fielder.
In the fourth Sharpe walked, Johnson
singled for his second hit of the game,
and Manton sent both men in with a
single. Stanton went to second on the
throw to the plate, after Johnson, took
third on Ferebee's Infield out. and scored
on Bonner's hit over the infield. These
runs gave Carolina the lead, and pros
pects brightened for the Tar Heels; but
the Virginians turned the tables in the
next frame. Bond and Wood singled in
succession, but Dear hit to center field
and was out. Bond scored from third

WIRED DECISION MONDAY
Great Promise of This University
Holds Him Here.
Dr. Archibald Henderson will not ac
cept the presidency of the University of
Uklahoma. He formally declined the of
fer Monday night In a telegram sent to
Judge A. A. McDonald, chairman of the
board of 'regents. f
At the same time he Issued a state
ment to the press in which he said that
"the crucial factros in my decision have
been the great promise of the Univer
sity of North Carolina as the center of
scholarship and research throughout the
South and the urgent and spontaneous
expression of desire on the part of our
people that I remain in North Caro
lina."
Discussing the matter informally. Dr,
Henderson said that his deep-rooted af
fection for North Carolina counted with
hundreds of expressions from Tar Heels
urging him to stay are the factors in his
decision that more than offset the offer
of the leadership of an institution offer
ing a bigger salary and with a student
oooy twice the size of that here.-
HIs telegram to Judge McDonald was
as follows
"Within these last months, and espec
ially since our recent conference, I have
given prolonged and intense reflection to
tne problems raised by my recent elec
tion by unanimous vote of your Board of
Kegents to the presidency of the State
university of Oklahoma.
"I begv that you will convey to the
uoard of Regents my keen sense of the
high honor they have conferred unon me.
The stimulating career of educational
leaoersmp to. which, your university in
vites, has for me an almost . irresistible
ppeal. Certainly no group could have
been more appreciative and hospitable,
more eager to co-operate, more ready
to execute suggested plans looking to Vie
advancement of the University of Okla
homa than the Board of Regents which
you have the honor to head.

the dope gave the Methodists an even
chance to win the second chapter of the
three game series with the Hillians; but
BUI Poyner, aided by the Tar Heel war
dubs, decided otherwise. Four thousand
fans of Dukedom "and Tarheelia filled the
stands and side, Imes of Hanes field to
see the contest. The Fetzerites slashed
out 11 hits for 17 bases, while Duke could
only get to Poyner for 7 safeties.
Both teams played errorless ball for
the first three .frames, but the Tar Heels
tallied twice in the fourth on wild throws
by Dempster and Saunders. "Rabbit"
Bonner broke into the run column In the
next canto with a clean circuit swat that
cleared the left field wall. They scored
once In the seventh, and in the eighth
Hatley tripled to start the three-run
tally that put the game on ice.
Bonner, Hatley and Gibson were the
leaders in the barrage of hits that the
University lads laid down, each of them
bingimg twice. H. Johnson and Smith
were Duke's batting stars, and Demp-
ster and Turner pulled the only double
killing of the game.

Before a huge audience tense with excitement and interest, the Sf-ninr
Order of the Golden Fleece, by an impressive and tantalizinirlv deliberate
o
ceremony, tapped eight Juniors and three Seniors to be initiated within
the order. The black-robed figures did their work with dramatic intensity,
holding the interest of the crowd through a oeriod of minutes that
- " obv-
while the two wearers of the Fleece pounced on the men'of their choice.
William J. Cocke, Jr., of the Fleece, introduced Dr. Horace Williams.
as one of the founders of the order who had been "lareelv resnonsihle for
its growth and success1 since he had been with the Fleece since its begin
ning. Dr. Williams spoke of the fact that the Fleece had a
; - , BB
deeper aim than that of any individual. He look occasion to comment
with gratitude on Dr. Chase's recent refusal of the presidency of Brook
lyn Polytechnic Institute. In a few words he introduced Dr. Edwin Mims.
who made a splendid address on the subject of "Colleges Under Fire,"
with especial emphasis on student leadership.
It was after Dr. Mims address that Bill Cocke explained the
A , - X
of the Fleece, with the various characteristics which the members of the
Jtieece consider in choosing .their men. "The Fleece, he said, "picks
men who have shown that they are men of the finest type of character,
and who have excelled in any one field, or who have shown versatile abil
ity. The Fleece taps men of unimpeachable character, men who have
put all they have into their work and taken full advantage of their oppor
tunities. The Fleece has recognized various fields of activities; and if
any field lacks a man of Fleece calibre, the field is passed over. Above
all things, the Fleece wishes to emphasize the fact that its task has been
fraught with many difficulties' and that the results have been arrived at
oniy oy conscientious ettort ana not by any influence of personal likes or
dislikes." . A

President H. W. Chase has been asked
to consider the presidency of the Brook
lyn Polytecnic Institutei but he has al
ready let it be known that he has wired
the authorities of that institution that he
did not care to give the matter further
consideration.
The news of the Informal and conflden
tial negotiations leaked out within the
past several days and President Chase
regretted the premature publicity that
was given the matter, which was the
chief factor in his hurried decision. Had
the press not upset the atmosphere of
privacy, the president probably would
have dwelt upon the offer a while longer,
but the news once out, he was not long
in making up his mind. ,
President Chase has made little com
ment upon the New York offer, because
he takes the attitude that the negotia
tions were a matter of privacy, but those
close in, touch with the administration
find ground for his turning down an of
fer that carries with it a much lamer
salary than that received here. The
fact also remains that while the institu
tion to which he was invited takes high
rang among educators, Its work is of a
technical nature, and President Chase's
heart lies in work of general university
character.
Dr. Chase has been a member of the
University faculty for 15 years and has
become closely attached to the Uni
versity and the people of North Carolina.

Coach Bob Fetzer's cinder path artists
registered a glorious victory last Satur
day by emerging from the annual state
championship track meet with a total of
108 points, more than the number of
points garnered by all other representa
tives combined. ; State came second with
55 points, Davidson with 193; Wake
Forest with 18, and Duke with 11 points.
This is the fourth consecutive year that
the Tar Heels have triumphed in the
big state-wide meet, and the 1925 team
has proven to be the ereatest In th
tory of the University. 1
Out of 15 events, the Tar Heels won
nine first places and tied for another.
Three new records were established.
"Chollie" Jonas, Carolina's star half mil-
er, lowered his state record from 2 min.
9-10 sec. to 2 min. 2-10 sec. McPherson,
of Carolina, and Byrum, of State, set
credit for a joint record in the 100-yard
dash, according to the decision of the
judges. The time for the run .was 9 9-10
seconds, and is certified since it was
caught on five stop watches. Ripple, of
Mate,, established a new record with the
shot, when he put it 41 ft. 11 1-4 in.
Jeff Fordham was high point man of
the meet. He won first places in , the
javelin and discus and second in the
shot-put, garnering a total of 14 points.
Holt Moore won both of the hurdle races
and took second place in the scoringwith
10 points. Johnnie Purser won the two-
mile run with a time of 10 min. 10 8-10.
sec. Purser has won the two mile in
every state meet for the past four vears."
This is a record that will probably never
be equalled.
The Tar Heel distance men outclassed
all comers, taking the first four places in
the mile, and placing four men in the
two mile.

for the Tar Heels, placed second v In the
