Carolina-State Debate Uirth Control . Gerrard Hall; :: Thursday U. N. C. vs. Wake Forest Baseball Emersorf Field :: Today VOLUME XXXIII VIRGINIANS TAKE ANNUAL CLASSIC IN GREENSBORO Crowds of Pretty College Girls Flank Tar Heel Rooters. " HOLLAND WINS THE GAME Carolina Marked Up Lone Tally in Fifth Inning on. Double Steal by Bonner and Holshouser. Playing to packed stands, and bleach' e rs, on a field that was fringed with the overflow from .the stands, the Virginia Cavaliers won the annual Carolina-Vir ginia classic from the Tar Heels at Cone Tark in Greensboro last Saturday after noon by a count of 2 and 1. The leaders of the largest crowd to ever .witness the classic began to stream into flie bleachers and grandstand by two o'clock, and by three o'clock the best seats were all taken. The greatest attraction of the afternoon outside of the game came at 3:15. when the girls from N. C. College came on the field in a body, and, marching in single file, formed a big U, N. C. on the field. As an additional stunt the girls from Caro lina's "sister College" marched Into the stands reserved for them and raised small blue umbrellas at a given signal. While the teams took their preliminary practice the heer leaders got into action and began to get the pep stirred up. Greensboro College girls occupied the right field bleachers, and next to them were the Carolina cheering sections with the "N. C." girls on the left." The girls from both schools did some effective yell ing, and the Tar Heel rooters responded with the peppiest they have shown since V. M. I. was turned back in football. - . At 3:30 Bill Holden announced the batteries for the classic and called "play ball." Virginia acted as home team, and the Tar Heels took the field. Holshouser pitched airtight ball from the start and the Cavaliers were not able to advance as far as second base during the first three frames. . Only thirteen batters faced him in these innings. Fricdberg walked in the first, but Johnson and Stanton flashed some fast fielding and pulled a double killing, cutting off Fried berg at second when Bronough drove one at Johnson. Holshouser yielded one hit in these three frames. Virginia started the scoring in the first of the fourth. Friedberg opened the in ning with a double into the crowd in center field. Bronough singled behind him and Friedberg raced home with the first marked of the game. Unversagt struck out, and Holland hit one into the crowd, landing on second on the play. With one away it looked like another Cavalier score was on the road, but Hols houser tightened down and fanned the next two men. Carolina marked up her lone tally in the fifth. Thomas singled to open the inning, and thecollege bleachers went wild; but Johnson hit into a double play and forced Thomas at second. Hols (Continued on page four) CHAPEL HILL, N.

Norman Foerster, professor of Eng lish in the University and authority on American literature, has just rejected an offer of the headship of the depart ment of English at Lehigh university; Mr. Foerster was offered the position several weeks ago and has given his best consideration to it. The offer is very tempting, carrying with it a stipend of $5,000 and added equipment for research in his field. His belief in the future of the University and his hope for its in creased greatness influenced Mr. Foerster to reject such a flatterintg opportunity. Dr. - Foerster graduated at Harvard in the class of 1910 and received his M.A. degree it the University of Wisconsin. He was appointed an associate professor of English in the University in 1914 and became a full professor in 1919. He wrote Nature of American Literature and has made several contributions to various journals and magazines, espe cially in the field of American literature. ANDREWS LOAN FUND ESTABLISHED BY HEIRS Colonel Andrews Was Trustee of the University and a Prominent . Railroad Builder. BLANKET FEE VOTE PASSES STUDENTS Becomes Effective Next Fall Bucca neer Added and Price, Reduced To Be Permanent. The blanket fee for the Publications Union was voted in Monday by a land slide of 671 to 59. Eleven invalid bal ' lots were thrown out. - Beginning next year the fee is to be reduced from $5.50 to $5.00, and Jn re turn for the yearly fee each student will .. receive the. Tar Heel, Yackety tack, Carolina Magazine, and Buccaneer, in stead of only the first three as formerly. The Publications Union was founded two years ago as an administrative body, exercising complete supervision over all the student publications through its rep resentatives, the Publications Union Board elected yearly by the -anion, pro viding for their administration, and giv ing each student every publication. The blanket fee of $5.50 was adopted by the students for a probation period of two years, at the end of which time it was to come up again for a vote of the student body as a permanent measure. During the past two years the Publi cations Union has functioned very effi ciently. The student publications have been put on a sound financial basis and have greatly improved in quality. Effi cient financial management has enabled the union not, only to reduce the fee to $5.00, but to Include the Buccaneer in this fee. Some changes in the publications are included in the plans for next year. The Ta Heb will probably be increased in s'ie, cither tJ a four-page tri-weckly or a six-page scral-weckly. Additional re ductions In the spuce rates for the Yack f(y Yack will also be made. . President Chase has recently announc ed the establishment of the A. B. An drews loan found of $2,500 by the five children of the. late Colonel Alexander BAndrews, a trustee of the University from 1885 until his death in 1915, for many years a member of the executive commitee, and to whose memory the Uni versity has placed a tablet in Memorial hall. " The fund is established for deserving students in honor of Colonel Andrews. As he was a prominent railroad builder, preference will be given to the students from those counties in which he built railroads or in which are located rail roads with which he was connected. These counties are Buncombe, Burke, Chatham, Cherokee, Davie, Durham, Forsyth, Gran ville, Haywood, Iredell, Jackson, Mc Dowell, Macon, Madison, Moore, Orange, Richmond, Rowan, Surry, Swain, Vance, and Wilkes. The five donors of the fund are Wil liam J, Andrews, class of 1891; Alexan der B. Andrews, class of 1893; Mrs. Jane A. Marks, Montgomery, Ala.; John H. Andrews, class of 1897, and Graham H.

Birth control is the question to be fought out tomorrow evening in Gerrard Hall when State College and Carolina meet at 8:30 in a debate under the Ox ford Union plan. The query for this debate is one upon which there has been much interest cen tered of late and one that has been dis cussed to some extent in small groups, but this is the first time that two promi nent colleges have engaged in debate on the question: "Resolved, That the dis semination of knowledge concerning birth control by contraceptive methods should be legalized throughout the United States." Since this question has never before ben debated by two major insti tutions it is to secure considerable promi nence by being reported for the "Deba ters Annual." As stated this debate is to be con ducted under the Oxford Union plan, in which each college has one man on each side of the question. There is to be but one rebuttal and .that will be by the first speaker of the affirmative who will have five minutes. However, after the debate the audience will be allowed to ask the debaters any questions that they may choose to bring out further light on the question. When there are no more ques tions the debate will close and the audi ence will render the decision; there will be no other judges. As this question is of vital importance to present -day life it is expected that the largest crowd for any debate this year will be out. The speakers will be: Affirmative, L. T. Bledsoe (Car), and J. Alvin Wilson, (State) ; negative, A. M. Fountain, (State), and L. B. Ken nett, (Car). . Oxford College Director to Present Play maker Reading Eiise Graham, dramatic director of Oxford College, will present the month ly Playmaker reading in Gerrard Hall at 8:30 next Sunday evening.

The matdli was hotly contested and every one of the singles matches wd.it to three set with the exception of that of Solomon. , During the whole trip Solomon suffered with a bad arm which he got during the state tournament here some time ago, and which was made worse by having to play in the Southern tournament and the succeeding matches. Friday afternoon Georgetown was met at Washington. Carolina lost one of the singles matches and one of the dou bles, but took the other four matches.

While there have been no indi vidual stars, the team has maintained a high level of playing and the difference between first man and fifth has been but little. Besides the five men on the team, there have been three or. four very promising men on the squad, who will help in building up a team next year (Continued on page tbree) FINAL GAME WITH WAKE FOREST ON EMERSON FIE SONG IS DEDICATED TO THE GLEE CLUB The University Glee Club has been endowed with another singular hon or.

PRETT Y GIRLS FETE CAROLINA SHEIKS Campus Lawn Is Scene of Bril liant Spectacle. HAS AIR OF ROMANCE Defeat Is Forgotten Amid Pleasures of the Night. The N. C. C. W. girls did their best to ease the feelings of the Carolina boys after the loss to the Cavaliers when they opened the gates of their campus to the University student body on Saturday night and issued a generul Invitation to the boys to attend a big reception as honor guests. The reception is an an nual affair and is looked forward to with as much expectation as the big game. For a Carolina boy to go to the game and miss the "N.C.". party on the night after the game is like eating a dinner and missing the dessert, and but few of the Tar Heels were guilty of this omis sion. Hundreds of brilliantly colored lights furnished the illumination for. the oc casion and lent an air of romance to the beautiful campus. The crowds of pretty girls, North Carolina's best, and the Carolina boys moved in an endless pro cession over the grounds, milling in and out, going nowhere, just looking for a good time. They ah succeeded in tlfeir .jHest, and the defeat of llie afternoon was forgotten in the pleasures of the night. ' The officials forgot their ironrclad rules and extended the time limit a little fur ther than u-ual, b'if at 10:30 the big cam pus bell rang to close the party, and the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home" while the various couples returned to the dormitories, and the visitors left with intention to never miss another one of the annual N.C.-Carolina receptions.

Tiiis is the second meeting with the Baptists this season and will have an important bearing on tiie final rank ing of the college nines in the state race. Though the Tar Heels are virtually out of the race if it is counted on a per centage basis, they will he ready to argue with the other contenders on a basis of comparative scores. However, either way the rating Is finally-decided, the game this afternoon will be a crucial test of both teams. In the first meeting between the Tar Heels and Deacons, the Wake county outfit won out by a score of 2 to 1 in a pitcher's duel between Holshouser and Sorrell, but the Ililliuns, after losing the last two games of the Virginia series, are in a mood to take their revenge qut on some other outfit and tiie Baptist huppen to come next on the list. No matter which way the champion ship is settled at the close of the season, the first and second pluces in the rating will depend on this encounter.
