C., THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1926 NUMBER & Dartmtfuth Takes Season Opening In High Wind 5-4 POYNER PITCHES Young Gale Blows About Hin ders Both Teams. JONES SCORES TWO RUNS Carolina Leads During Most of Game Three Runs In Eighth Gives Dartmouth, Victory. ; While n late Ma'rcfc wind blew a gale across Emerson Fcld here today, the Dartmouth Gree.nies took advantage of all the breaks and defeated the Tar Heels in the first baseball game of the 132fi season by the Close count of S to 4. The stiff west wind blew high balls hither and yon and bothered the field ers of both sides, accounting for practi cally every bobble made during the game. After the Ta, Heels had tallied four runs in the first six innings of play, the Hanoverians broke loose and crossed the plate twice in the sixth frame. Then in the eight, with the Carolina stands call ing for the Tar Heels to hold, the north erners staged a rally that netted them three runs and the game. The Duncanites scored in the first on error by Owl, Darthmoulh's right fielder, and a smashing double by Mackie. Then hi the third Dey bobbled Poyner's roller and Sides doubled to send Poyner home. The other Carolina runs came in the fourth and sixth innings, Captain Jones registering each time for the Tar Heels. The Greenies broke the ice in the sixth while the Tar Heels were leading 3 to 0. They loaded the bases on a walk to Owl, an infield hit by Fusonie, and a single by Focken, Stevens then drove a slashing single down the Uiird base line to send Owl and Fusonie home. The winning rally in the eighth started when Sides misjudged Captain Michelini's pop fly in the fast wind. Fusonie and Pickens flew to the outfield, and Stevens walked. Dey singled a moment later, and the two men scored from second and third to tie the score. Elliott's one baser to left drove Dey across with the win nwg scw.-MGkthHn- fanned to re tire the side. "Hat" Hatley, with a single and a three bagger out of three starred at bat for the Tar, Heels, while Fusonie, Dey and Elliott rung up, two singles each for the visitors. .

The Carolina track team opened the 1M20 season on Emerson Field Tuesday afternoon by defeating the Duke har riers by .the overwhelming score of 94 2-3 to, 31 1-3 in an interesting meet, but one which was void of any record break ing events. This was probably due to the" fact that there was a heavy track and also because the boys are pot yet in the pink of condition. The Tar Heels started the scoring early by taking first and third places in the 100 yard dash and from then on they were never in danger of being over come by the Duke team. Coach Fet ter's men captured thirteen first places out of the fourteen events and placed two men in practically every event. In the 220-yard dash, Carolina took the first three places, Giersch, Huggins and Watt placing first, second and third re spectively. The only event in which the Tar Heels failed to take first place was the pole vault in which Hargrove, of Duke, came out first with a leap of ten feet. Gus McPherson, the speed demon of the Carolina team, was the high scorer of the meet with a total of ten points, he taking first place in both the 100-yard and the 220-yard dashes. He was closely followed by Lawrence Watt, Who tallied a total of nine points. Probably the best run of the after noon was made by Arthur Daniel, who was representing Carolina in the two mile run. He and Hodge of Duke were running neck and neck until the last 220 yards when Daniel made a great snurt and finished far ahead of his opponent. ' It was a thrilling run and .brought forth much applause from tne spectators, v Below is a summary of the meet: 100 vard dash McPherson (Carolina), first: Bruton , (Duke) second; Giersch, (Continued on pag our; Chase Speak v In Chapel Tomorrow President H.

DISCUSSES ROMANTICISM Considers Orient is Misrepresented In Romantic Literature. ' Professor Irving Babbitt, Professor of Romance Languages at Harvard Uni versity spoke last night at Gerrard Hall on Romanticism and the Orient. His main points seemed to be that distance lends enchantment to the view, and that Kipling gives a false and ronumhe view of the Orient. Professor Babbitt, who has translated pages of Sanskrit at the Sorbonne in Paris, assured -his audience that, con-: trary to the idea given of the far east I India .being used as an example, people there were active, temperate and relig ious. , To show their temperance, lie spent some time in comparing the teachings of Jesus Christ and Bhudda. He then took up Kipling, and showed how in his poem "Mandalav" he had given a false and somewhat derogatory idea of the East. The characteristics of Romanticism, as outlined by professor Babbitt were four; instinct for escape, nostalgia, sub;ration alism, and picturesqueness. As an exam ple of the romantic literature of" . the East the speaker discussed the works of Rudyard Kipling. Judged by these criteria much of Kipling's work may be considered romantic. In his popular noein "Mandalay", though the speaker considered it bad poetry and untrue picturization of the East, are exempli fied particularly nostalgia and instinct for escape. The British sailor longs for Mandalay, "where there ain't no Ten Commandments, and a man can raise a thirst." "When Kipling is in India,' Babbitt said, "he longs to be in England, and when he is Englund. he pines for India.". Professor Babbitt discussed at length Bhuddism and its influenece on the oriental mind, calling attention to the relation it bears to both Christionity and Platonism, and extolling its virtues. Professor Babbitt is one of the lead ing authorities on the subject of Ro manticism and the Orient. His lecture was heard by a large audience, and caused considerable comment. HIGH SCHOOL STARS ON FROSH TENNIS OUTFIT ' Team Will Probably Meet Oak Ridge, and Davidson, and Duke Fresh men During the Season. With some of the best high and prep school stars of North and South Carb lina out for the squad, the " freshman tennis team promises to be the best first year net team ever turned out at the University. Manager Caesar Cone, of Greensboro, is now working on a sche dule and promises to have a good card arranged In a few weeks. Meets are pending with Oak Ridge, Davidson, and Duke frosh, and a trip will' probably be arranged some time within the course of the next few weeks. This year's' freshman class boasts of some of the best tennis players who have been in the University, and out of these men a team should be developed which Continued on pag four) Addison Warren, captain of ' the Carolina team, and captain-elect of the wrestling squad, returned to the "Hill" Monday morning from Philadelphia where he won the Junior National Hevyweight Championship and lost thp light heavyweight title by a shade. He was accompanied Jo he Quaker City by Crayton Rowe, the Carolina Catch, and who is also one . of the most clever little fighters to ever step into the roped arena. The exhibition which Warren demon strated were about the best ever wit nessed in amateur circles In Phila delphia and the huge crowd vociferous ly applauded the Carolina boy. It was plainly evident that they , were all pull ing for him. The interest which was manifest on the campus here was demonstrated by the large crowds that gathered around the Carolina Smoke Shop to await the report announcing the outcome of the bouts. When it-was learned that Warren had emerged vic torious, a large shout went up from the University students. In the light heavyweight bout Joe Monte, of Boston, who has held the title for the past three years, won the referee's! decision over Warren after the judges had failed to agree. It was a great fight and neither boxer seemed to show any superiority over the other. It was clear, however, that the crowd was for Warren as a great hiss went up from the spectators when Monte was awarded the decision. In the fight, for the heavyweight championship, Warren won a popular decision over .the far-famed Marty Gallagher, of Washington. From the time that the two pugilists stepped into the ring until the final gong sound ed, it was clearly Warren's fight, he completely outclassed his opponent. He came near landing a knock-out , in the second round when he floored Galla gher with a terriffic right to the chin. The Quaker City newspapers were all very enthusiastic in their praise of , (Continued on' page four) BLUE AND WHITE N. C.

Incomplete reports show that one hundred and two men have fulfilled the necessary reuirements and self-conscious freshmen are beginning to take on air of importance) that is the cause of mirth on the part of those who have been through the same experience and of envy on the part of some of those who have ns yet to feel that sensation. ' Efforts to ascertain the extent of injuries at the infirmary were of no avail -evidently the bruises are the subject of pride rather than the neces sity of care: Light rains Wednesday night hindered the, work of several of the organizations although the enthuf iasm of the paddle wielders seems to have been in nowise dampened.

CATALOGUE IS REBUKED "The Negro in Literature" and "La mentations" are Praised. Again the Carolina Magazine offers the campus a choice collection of near literature. The April number Is on , the whole mediocre, containing no writing of distinguisshed merit, and much that is very bad. The two leading features are the ar ticles entitled "Debunking the Cafra-lo-gue" and "What the Negro is Doing in Literature." ' "Debunking the Catalogue" was writ ten by thirty or more students, and at tempts to evaluate from a student point of view 86 courses selected from the catalogue. In its published form the article does little debunking, and is of doubtful value, but should be read. It is most interesting, perhaps, as an un conscious study of the undergraduate mind. Occasionally you will find in it really significant criticism, and some times a little amusement. At least one chuckle must accompany the review of English 3-4-5, and the advice at the conclusion of that review is almost clas sicv . ' One other article ought . certainly to be read; the others you can read or not, just as you choose. This is the first article in the Magazine, "What the Ne gro is Doing in Literature." It should be read for the facts it contains about an importunt but little-known movement. Read it, and God bless you, my chil dren. After these two very, very serious articles you deserve a good laugh. I recommend "Aberrations," a piece of fantastic, nonsensical liuinol-? "Our Parliamentarians" is a short satire- which takes a good natuVol crack at our dear old literary societies: There are two full-fledged stories and two sketches, all disappointing. "Ralph v.s a Sophomore" is as bad as the title. "I Have Something to Tell You" pre sents the snine "conventional picture of collegiate youth. Both stories may prove to be the most popular features of the Magazine. We hope "Ralph" was writ ten some time ago, because we have learned to expect better from the author. "On the Limitations of Reason" is a very different thing and is not far from being good. The author may be excused (Continued on pag four) COFFIN MYSUCCEED GERALD JOHNSON HERE Head of Journalism School Resigned Recently to Join Staff of Baltimore Sun. Oscar J. Coffin, editor of the Ra leigh Times, Raleigh's afternoon paper is being considered as Gerald Johnson's successor in the school of Journalism. Mr. Johnson resigned his position as head of the school two months ago, and since then rumor has been rife as to his sucessor. . Mr. Johnson leaves here in June to join the staff of the Baltimore Sun as associate editor, his resignation becom ing effective then. President Chase would neither affirm nor deny the current rumor.

FORDIIAM URGES ALL TO VOTE Undergraduates Vote at Gerrard and Professianal' Students at Vance. Apparently the campaigning for stu dent offices closed with the platform speeches made in chapel yesterday morn ing by the candidates for the presidency of the student body, but now the fiercest struggle is taking place since the poli ticians are not publicly ut work but-instead are exerting personal influence to line iithe delinquent pledges to party, tickets. The complete nominations were made with the close of Tuesday's chapel period. A new system of voting has been In augurated by President Fprdham for this year's election. The purpose of the new plan Is to insure greater freedom on the part of the individual doing the voting and prevent crafty workers from rounding up votes that are sometimes not the actual choice of the name on the ballot. The type of voting for this year is somewhat similar to the Australian ballot ideu. Pollholders will be stationed in front of Gerrard hall and in front of . Vance dormitory. At each of these places there will be an enclosure and in it a booth. Undergraduates whose name begin-'with any letter from A-O will vote at the Gerrard hall booth and those from O-Z and professional and graduate students will find their names on the Vance register. The procedure is simple and there is no need for anyone to become mixed up as to his proper vot- ing place. The voter will go to the man in charge of the register and have his name checked off the list; he will be given a ballot and allowed to enter the, enclosure and go into the booth to fill out his ticket where no person can tee for whom lie easts his ballot. He will fold his ballot and come out of the booth to drop his ballot Into the box. No per son will know for whom he voted and (Continued on pag four) TRACK MEN MEET W.
