Every student in the University who has not made a letter in track or taken part in the University of Richmond In door Games in February will be eligible to enter the events today. The elimination of the lettermen and varsity stars will make the competition more fair to the embryo inderpath stars and will create more interest in the meet. The purpose of the meet is to create more interest in track and field sports among the students- as well as to fur- .nUk one of the events on the Intra- Mural Association's regular program of sports for the year. Every man in the university who has shown any ability in track in any way in the past has been mailed a special card Inviting him to enter the meet today. However, if any student failed to ' get a card, it does not mean that student cannot enter. Should Draw Spectators The meet Is the first chance this spring for the student body to see the pros pective varsity and freshman stars in action, and a large crowd should turn out to see the men in action. Last year one or two men were uncovered in the Intra-Mural competition who had tal ent in the track and field game and there may be men JFound in this meet today that will garner quite a few points for the Tar Heels or Tar Babies during the coming season.

WILL BE HELD HERE Third Annual Contest to Determine Best High School Publications Con-' ducted by Extension Division. V Regulations governing the third an nual contests in high schol journalism for North Carolina schools were an nounced today by the University Ex tension Division, under the auspices of which the contests are held. There are two contests running simul taneously, one to determine the best nigh school newspaper, and the other to pick the best high school magagine. The purpose of the contests is to en courage excellence in high school journ alism. Regulations governing the newspaper contest require that schools competing send a file of Its papers for the scholas tic year 1925-26 to the Committee at Chape Hill on or before May 25, of this yea?. Files of magazines for the year should be sent on or before the same date. In both contests the work must be done by the students, although "there "iy be some degree of faculty super vision", the school principal being ex pected to explain the degree of faculty responsibility. , The University Extension Division will ward permanent trophy cups to the winners of each contest. The committee in charge of the con ests is composed of N. W. Walker, airman j J. F, Royster, C. A. Hibbard, R. Wilson, E. R. Rankin, Secretary! Gerrard Johnson, and R. W. Madry. All c)mmunications should be addressed to Secretary Rankin. ' An excellent response has been accord d the two previous contests. The award of first place in the magazine contest of l92 went to Purple and Gold, of the ""leigh high school, and the award of Srst place In the newspaper contest of l92 went to High Lift, of Greensboro hi8h school. The Hillbilly, of the Ashe vi"e high school, was awarded first plw in the magazine contest of 192, ,nl The Bi-Rocket of the Durham high chool, was awarded first place In the "'wspaper contest COACHED WINNING PLAYS if " L. V. HUGGINS ! The Winston Hi Players, under the di rection of Huggins, won both the orig inal and professional play contests here Thursday. Mr. Huggins was a member of the 1925 senior class and, besides be ing cheer-leader here was also a Play- maker and inter-collegiate debater. ASHMORE JOINS COACHING STAFF HERE NEXT FALL Widely Known Mentor Will Be Head Coach of Basketball and Baseball. , WAS FORMERLY AT IOWA FR0SH BASEBALL PROSPECTS GOOD Practice Going Forward Earn estly With Examina tions 6ver. COMPETITION IS STRONG Many Former High School Stars Out For Tar Baby Team. With the advent of the first real spring weather of the year, Coach Rob btns Lowe's" freshman baseball candidates are going through stiff work-outs each afternoon o'n the freshman field. Coach Lowe has his men out early each after noon and works them until the sinking sun makes it impossible for the players to see the ball. Practice was called to a halt last week during examinations, but now that they are over, practice is expected to go for ward at full sway. There are approxi mately 50 men out for the various posi tions and Coach Lowe is going to have a colossal task in deciding who will fill the places on the first nine. From all appearances, it looks as though there is better material on hand this year than there lias ever been before. There are at least two players out for every posi tion on the teum of known ability and who have been outstanding in their high and prep school careers. 'So far as is known, all the outstand ing men on the squad passed their work and there will be no hitch here. . , Fred Beam, all-state catcher who per formed for Casey Morris' championship team last year, will probably get first call for the receiver's job. He has a world of experience behind the plate, knows how to handle pitchers, and is very pro ficient with the willow. , The pitching problem is the biggest one that Coach Lowe is facing. Up to the present time, there has not been an abundance of men out for this depart ment who look like real hurlers. Shuler, star guard on the Tar Baby football team last fall, has been lending the hurl ers in the early practices but he is han dicapped due to the fact that he has not had very much experience. Marshall and Thomas, both Woodberry Forest prod ucts, have also been showing up well on the hillock and it looks as though they will make the . grade. "Steve" Ingram, who used to toss the horsehlde for the High Point highs, Is also showing a world of stuff and should be one of the mainstays of the mound corps. "Steve" Furches, who used to cavort around the Infield for the Rockingham and Shelby teams, and Edison Foard, of Charlotte, who was captain of the Tar Baby football eleven last full, are hav ing a neck-and-neck race for the first base job with Foard probably having a slight edge over his adversary. At the keystone sack, Harkrader, Dix on, and Jessup are the outstanding per formers with very little difference be tween the trio. All three are good field ers and fairly good hitters. Jessup has probably had the most experience of any, he having played on the strong Po mona team, which captured the state (Continued on page four) Coaching Staff Has Been Considerably Bolstered This Year Further Changes Pending. ' A valuable addition has been made to the coaching staff of the University in the person of James N. Ashmore, base- hall, basketball, and football star at the University of Illinois about 20 years ago, who has accepted the position here of head coach in baseball, basketball, and assistant in football. His services will become effective with the opening of the fall term. Ashmore has served very successfully as"athletic coach at. several universities. He was head coach of basketball and baseball and assistant in football at the University ' of Iowa at the same time Howard Jones was football coach at that school. Jones is now at the Uni versify of Southern California. . Following graduation from Illinois he entered the professional baseball field, and then for a number of years coached athletics at James MUiken University, Decatur, 111. From there he went to the University of Colorado, where he was very successful until the war. He en tered the service and on his discharge he went to Iowa. Following that he couched baseball, basketball, and foot ball at De Pauw University, where he remained until eighteen months ago, After serving for a year with the Na tional Amateur Athletic Association he quit athletics to enter business and is now t with the United States Rubber Company of Chicago. The University is very successful in having obtained Ashmore. The main work of the athletic committee since the resignation of "Bill" Fetzer has been to reorganize and build up a coaching staff, and Ashmore will help on the staff a great deal. It was no easy task to get him. Some .months ago be paid the Uni versity a quiet visit, and although he expressed himself pleased at the situa tion no agreement could be reached in the way of a contract. The University authorities have been negotiating with him ever since in an effort to come to terms. With the appointment of Ashmore, the reorganization of the University's ath letic coaching staff has progressesd to the stage where alumni may view the coaching situation with considerable op timism. Assurance is given that all branches of University sports will be in the hands of competent instructors mentors who already have demonstrated their abilities in crucial tests. The staff is not yet complete, the ath letic authorities say. It is understood that two or three other changes are to be made, announcement of which prob- X Continued on page four) SWARTHMORETO DEBATE IN OPEN FORUM TONIGHT Visitors Will Argue Curtis-Reed Bill With Uiversity Debaters.

The second open forum debate of the year will be held tonight at 8:30 in Gerrard hall, when Swarthmore College and the University of North Carolina will discuss the Curtis-Reed bill provid ing for a federal department of educa tion.
