Coach Duncan's Tar Heel Baseball
Club defeated the University of South
Carolina on. Emerson field yestcrdoy in
a game featured by the beautiful defen
sive work of North Carolina and an in
spiring ninth Inning rally by the visi
tors that fell just one run short of ty
ing the count. The game was a bit
slow although packed with enough thrills
and close calls to satisfy even the most
exnctiiig.
Sapp, starting his first contest in a
Tar Heel uniform, was on the mound
for the locals. He pitched beautiful
hall until the eventful ninth, when he
was forced to retire in favor of Poyner.
South Carolina threw a scare into the
hearts of the Carolina fans when the
first man up walked, stole second, and
was sacrificed to third. Sapp took his
eye off the plate long enough to hit
Swink with a fast ball, but Mackie,
local right fielder, chased under a long
fly to retire the side. The Gamecocks
repeated the scare in their half of the
second, placing a man on third and sec
ond with two out. Sapp, however, fielded
a roller to end the inning.
Carolina pushed across her first
marker in the latter half of the second
inning. , Young started off with a single
down third base the first Tar Heel
safety but he was seized with an at
tack of sleeping sickness off first and
wai tagged by Rogers. Captain Jones
followed Young down to first when the
"Umps" called four balls wide. On an
attempted steal of second, the catcher
threw wild and Jones continued on to
third. Dodderer scored him with the
second hit of the inning a long singe
to right. Bill swiped second base stand
ing up, but was unable to get. any fur
titer. ; ' ' "
Carolina threatened again in the next
inning. With one down Tenney doubled
along the third base foul line. Sides
walked: Mackie and Hatley failed to
deliver, however, and nothing happened.
The next innings were all dangerous
to Carolina's slender lead, but Sapp

"TRAGEDY VITAL IN LIFE"
Entertained at Dinner at Inn Follow

Livingstone, Crew, and Young Uphold
Negative Side for Carolina. . '
.... tammmtHmmm ' .,;
The University of West Virginia sufr
cessfully upheld the affirmative. side of
the query, "Retolved, That Democracy
as a Political Ideal in the United States
is a Failure." by defeating the University
of North' Carolina in the Durham high
school auditorium last Thursday evening.
The ; argument for the evening
evolved around a definition of the term
"Democracy". The affirmative conten
tions were that a written constitution
was necessarily embodied in a democracy
and that the query as stated had nothing
to do with governments other than the
national government; while the Carolina
debaters contended that democracy
does not necessarily embody a written
constitution, and that the term democ
racy is applied to local and state gov
ernments as well as the national branch.
The speakers representing the Uni
versity of West Virginia on the affirma
tive were Rusself Morris, Harry Lam
bert, and Stanley Lawson. Those who
upheld the negative for Carolina were
Theodore B. Livingstone, James W.
Crew, and Malcolm M. Young. Each of
the speakers presented his argument with
merit, expressing himself forcefully and
sincerely.
The arguments presented were briefly
folloWSI . ' 1 "
Affirmatively! West Virginia contend
ed that our government has failed to
Rive us a representative government; that
Congress does not act independently ;
that Congress has failed in leadership!
Hint Congress does not represent the na
tion; that representatives stund for par
ties and not the test interests of the
"ple; and that the voters have de
Parted from the ideal.

Professor Walter G. Everett of Brown
University spoke here last night on the
"Philosophy of - Tragedy". The lecture
was held at the Episcopal church, in
stead of at-Garrard Hall, as announced.
In spite of the inclement weather, quite
a large crowd was in attendance.
Professor Everett spoke at some length
on his subject. He is noted for the
clarity and humanity of his teachings,
and the seriousness with which he views
ethical and religious problems.
In his lecture Professor Everett
brought out the statement that tragedy
was a vital and desirable part of life,
as it is responsible for pleasure. For
if there be no tragedy, there can be no
standards by which pleasure can be
judged.
He also pointed out that virtues and
vices are man-made affairs, that sin is
a thing that man has loaded on his own
back, creating it entirely himself. Fol
lowing this statement up, he said that
where there no such designated things,
that tragedy would still be present, be
cause a chain of events or a set of cir-

HAL KEMP'S ORCHESTRA
BROADCAST IN ATLANTA
' ' v .-,-. '
Station WSB of Atanta Is Host to Lo

Make Columbia Records.
"K. O." Warren, three times captain
of Carolina's boxing team, was defeated
in Boston last Monday night for the
amateur championship of North and
South America, by Armand Emanuel, of
San Francisco. The fight went the full
number of rounds and victory came to
Emanuel only by a very close judge's
decision. -
This was Warren's third tournament
in as many weeks. He won the heavy
and the light-heavy weight champion
ships in Baltimore, and the next week he
entered the Philadelphia tournament.
Here he took on three men In pne eve
ning, winning the heavy weight cham
pionship by defeuting his first two op
ponents with little trouble, but he fin
ished the evening by losing a close de
cision for the light-heavy weight cham
pionship. After sifting through this imposing
array of boxers 'K, O." entered the Bos
ton tournament as an even bet to win..
He had behind him the formidable rec
ord of eight wins and two forfeits in
three weeks, but this same great record
probably cost him the international cham
pionship. He emerged from the battles
in "Quakertown" with his hands bruised
and swollen, and this had no little etfect
on the final outcome at Boston.
Warren had been fighting in two
weights, but at Boston the contestants
were not alowed to enter but one. So
the Tar Heel puncher chose to cast his
lot among the heavy weights. Emanuel
weighed 183 pounds while Warren only
weighed 170'2. -
Besides the "beef," the San Francisco
lad also had the experience. He had
been runner-up in the tournament on two
occasions prior-Ao? thin, and after"; his
win over Carolina's cuptain it was no
trouble at all for him to annex the cham
pionship. To. hold such a man to a
judge's decision is quite a feather in
Warren's cap. ' v,
Next year "K. O." will go direct to
Boston and this will givehim a chance
to concentrate on one fight instead of
several. It will not be necessary to go
through two grilling tournaments before
facing his hardest man at Boston.
Warren was accompanied by Coach
Crayton Rowe, of the Carolina boxing
team. They arived in Boston Sunday,
p.m., April 4th. The return journey
was started Wednesday a.m.

Meet
The fourteenth annual inter-scholastic
track meet for North Carolina -.high
schools ushered in as usual by rain is
the explanation that clears up the ques
tion of "What are all those athletic kids
doing here today?" Seventeen high
schools have signified tlieir Intentions of
participating this year, and since "com
petition is the life of endeavor" we are
certainly expecting to see some mighty
keen rivalry for the cups. .
Track has long been one of the com
ing sports of the country and if there
are still any doubters as to whether or
not it has arrived, we could answer their
doubts by' directing them to Emerson
Field tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
when' the field events come -off, or in
the afternoon at 2 o'clock when the track
events will be held.
There are thirteen events scheduled
to take place, and unless the wind blows
the hurdles off the track, or if the ele
ments have obliterated the pole vault
standards, everything will come off as
planned. The list of events follows: '

Tuesday night at 10:45. central time,
and 11:45 Eastern time, from Station
WSB, Atlanta, Ga., Hal Kemp's Orches
tra broadcasted a musical concert, which
they were booked for at the Metropoli
tan opera house. This station Is under
the management of the Atlanta Journal.
The first announcement was as fol
lows: "Hal Kemp and his boys playing
to two full houses tonight at the Metro
politan opera house will broadcast from
Station WSB, 'Atlanta Ga." The an
nouncer stopped here to mention the fact
that telegrams from the parents of the
boys and from friends all over the Unit
ed States had been received and ac
knowledged by the boys from the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
' It was also made known that this was
the first time In radio history that a
broadcasting station had been allowed
over-time for a concert. Each station
Is supposed to have . only a" limited
amount of time. The extra time given
was one hour and fifteen minutes.
Among the numbers played were
those given in a recent performance of
the Wigue and Masque. They were
written by Professor Daggett of the
University faculty. These numbers were
requested. Several of the compositions

Plans have been completed for herald
ing the return, of social activities to the
local campus this, week-end with con
siderable glamour. "V Alpha Kappa Psi
Commerce. Fraternity 'giving its first
dance on the Hill, Is using every endeav
or to make the event thoroughly en
joyable for all attending. This "Initial
frolic will take jdace Friday night from
nine to one. Boys bringing girls will
not be required to present cards at. the
door; all stags, however, will be admitted
only on Invitation. v.
The Tarsonian orchestra, engaged for
the week-end dances, is practically un
heralded organization; inquiry into the
merits of the musicians has given rise
however, to most (optimistic expecta
tions so far as the music for the ap
proaching dances is concerned.
Psi chapter of Sigma Nu has done
much to brighten the prospects for a
successful series of social functions by
opening the chapter house to aproxl
mately thirty girls who will arrive from
Sweet Briar, Hollins, National Park
Seminary, Converse, St. Mary's, N. C.
C. W., Meridith, and G. C. The Sigma
Nu dance which had previously been an
nounced to be held Saturday evening, will
not be given. "
No dunce or party has been scheduled
for Saturday afternoon, as the baseball
game between Carolia and Duke is ex
pected to provide more than sufficient
interest.
Saturday evening the Woodberry For
est Club will entertuin at a dinner party
which will be followed by the first Grail
dance since the fall quarter. No or
chestra ' has ' yet been definitely signed
for the Grail event, although several Are
under consideration.

The faculty committee and the officers
of the German Club have drawn up a set
of by-laws which must be adopted by

President of,,the Club, has called a meet
Jug of the Club to be held this afternoon
at 1:43 o'clock In Memorial Hall. At

Commencement Dances Uncertain.
Although tbij week-end sees the lift
ing of the" ban on dances, the removal of
the probation ;is not necesarily perma
nent. ? In fart University dances will be
closely' watched ' and in case of disor
der! conduct, dances will again be
placed liiider ihe ban, and the finals will

The fate of the commencement dances
depends , upon the conduct of students
at 'the fraternity and club dances that
will take place between now and then,
and upon whether the by-laws are ac
cepted by the' German Club this after
noon. Al dances will be held under
the proposed German Club rules and in

"Good sports as well as actors in Play-
makers," is a headline seen in the Eliza'
beth City Daily Advance after their per
lormance or J lie r irst Year given
there Saturday night. It happened that
the bus wrich carried the players had to
stop an hour in Edenton where repairs
were made on the machine which was
damaged in getting off the Edenton fer
ry. The Playmakers arrived a little lute,
and without a bite of supper, and after
spending nearly an hour getting the
stage set for the piny, they put on their
production of "The First Year" to an
audience that . had ' been 'waiting rest
lessly for an hour. The Advance goes
on to say: "
"Undismayed by these untoward cir
cumstances, the' Pluymakers showed
themselves good sports as well as de
lightful actors and put on their show,
Frank Craven's "The First Year," in a
fashion that made folks out in the audi
ence forget themselves and their sur
roundings and all sense of being at a
play in their interest in what had come
to seem a bit of real life.
"A success like that, under the circum
stances, was quite as remarkuble in way
of evidence of the real ability of the
Carolina Playmakers as it was in way of
tribute to their fine courage; particu
larly when staged in un auditorium the
acoustics of which have been the despuir
of everybody, amateur or professional,
who have ever tried to speak or sing
or act therein. Only Thursday night
the local high school drumutics clubs
gave a good play there and did it well.
But a lot of folks couldn't hear them.

DISCUSS MUSOLINNI
Walter Spearman, Charles Lipscombe,
McDonald Gentry Initiated.,
At the first meeting of the Dl Senate
since the Easter Holidays Inst Tuesday
evening at the usual hour It was decided
to invite Henresentntive Poole, of the
North Carolina House of Representa
tives, to come and speak his views against
the teaching of evolution In the public
schools of the stute. President I A.
Crowell appointed a committee to invite
Mr. Poole after the Senate had passed
on a motion favoring such . action.
Discussion was very heated in the
Senate on two bills. Senator Ed Hud
gins introduced a bill condemning the
present dictatorship of Mussolini in
Italy. He stated thut a distatorship will
not work as has been proven by history
and that Mussolini is advocating the
doctrine that Might "Makes right too
much. Senator Norman Block opposed
the bill and stated that Mussoulini had
taken hold of the Italian government
at a trying time to muke it strong and
more efficient so that he can later make .
it a limited monarchy at the proper
time. Senator Geo. Stephens also op
posed the bill on the grounds that; so
long as "MuSsoulini's form of govern
ment does not hinder other governments
of the world thut It should be allowed
to go on as Italy's business only. The
Senate defeated the bill by vote.
Senutor" Stephens then Introduced a
bill favoring the elimination of the
North Carolina Senate thus making our
stute government run ri a uni-cauieral
system. Senator Lee Kennette opposed
this bill. The bill was then deferred to
the net meeting for further discussion.
The following men were elected to
membership in the Semite to be initiated
ut the next meeting! Walter Speartnan,
Charles Lipscomb, and McDonald
Gentry.
