CHOLLIE JONAS Bill Poyner's steady pitching and the slugging of the Duncanites gave the Tar Heel aggregation a 12 to t victory over the Virginia Cavaliers on Emerson Field yesterday in the first of a two-game series. The hefty Tar Heel hurlers worked one of the prettiest gomes seen on the home lot this season. He 'held the hard hitting Cavaliers' to three, bingles, all of the one base variety, until the sixth inning when the game was interrupted by rain. After Poyner went back on the mound he was a bit wild, walking six of the Cavaliers in the next three frames, and' allowing two hits, one of the infield variety, which were responsi ble for the four Virginia markers. Bill Sharj)e, Tar Heel receiver, copped the batting honors of the day with four safties out t many trips to the rub ber, one of his knocks going for four bases. It was his single in the second i frame that scored Young and Dodderer with the first Tar Heel markers. His homer in the third stanza brought in Dodderer for the eighth and ninth Caro lina scores Again in the fifth frame, Sharpe singled to score Jones from the second sack. Mackie, the fleet Duncanite right gard ener, ran Sharpe a close second for Hie batting honors with three hits out of five trips to the rubber, one of his swats going for four bases. The third four bager of the contest was contributed by Hutley in the second frame and scored Tenney and Sides who were on the paths at that time. Sterns led the hitting for the visitors with a triple in the seventh inning, while Wrenn, Diify, Cardwell, and Hushion each contributed a safety, Diffy and Hushion's being of the infield kind. The Tar Heels scored first blood in the second stanza when Young was given a free ticket to first, was sent to second by ' Jones' bouncer to pitcher and took (Continued on page six) APRIL PHILOLOGY NUMBER IS GOOD Eleventh of Rennaissance Num bers Given to Elizabethan Studies. CHIEFLY MAJOR FIGURES George Coffman Taylor Writes on ''Shakespeare and Milton : .V- Again".- ' The April issue of Rtndies in Philol offH' published by the University ' of North Carolina Press, is given over to Elizabethan studies, being the eleventh in the series of Renaissance numbers. The articles are concerned chiefly with the major figures of English Renaissance literature, one dealing with Spenser, one with Shakspere, two with Milton, and one with Milton and Shakspere. t Of : local interest is the paper by George Coffman Taylor of the Depart ment of English in the University, on Shakspere's influence on Milton, "Shak spere and Milton Again." Doctor Tay lor not only cites some 30 new "parallel" passages . which suggest Milton's close knowledge of Shakspere's lines, but ad vances the Interesting thesis that Shak spere's influence on Milton was an in creasing force, showing itself particu larly In the growth of the dramatic me thod of presentation, culminating in the form of Sainton Agonistes. Of wide general interest is the lead ing article in the issue, Samuel A. Tan nenbaum'rf "A New Study of Shak spere's Will," which follows articles by the same author in Shakspere's signa tures and handwriting which have ap peared in recent issues of Studies in Phi lology. In the present article Mr. Tan nenbaum argues that the will was hastily Prepared two months enVIier, and that Shakspere at the time of the revisingof 'lie will was greatly affected hot only by his own illness but by the recent unfor tunate marriage, of his daughter Judith to Thomas Qulney, a match which Shak spere apparently did not approve. Mr. Tannenbaum promises another article on the effects of Shakspere's physical and Continued on page tbs) I " a2 v r ' v I f 1 III LAMBDA CHIS ARE INSTALLED HERE Festivities Mark Advent of 24th National to Campus.

COLLEGE TENNIS Rogers and Whitener of Duke Will Play Campionship. MANY EXCITING MATCHES Davidson and Duke Reach Finals in Doubles Contest. Rogers and Whitner, botli of Duke emerged from the semilfinals, in the singles, of the State Tournament being held here yesterday afternoon. They will fight it out for the Championship of the State this morning. In the doubles McCutcheon and Carr, of Davidson, defeated Powers .and Saw yer, of Wake Forest, to go to the finals with Whitner and Rogers, of Duke, who eliminated Whitaker and Elgin of Caro lina. Both matches were hotly contested and were decided only by very close margins. ' A strong hot wind was blowing all morning and handicapped the players very much. It was a frequent occur rence for a high lob to be blown com pletely off the court. The hot wind and sun sapped the strength of the play ers, making frequent trips to the water bucket necessary. Perhaps the most exciting match of the morning was the doubles affair be tween Whitaker and Elgin, of Carolina, and Whitner and Rogers, of Duke. The Duke lads were very cool under fire, es pecially in the pinches. They were forced to the limit, however, to win the first set 9-7, but lost the second 4-6. In. the last set they were forced to play 12 games before winning 7-5. Both players had superb power and great skill on the other points of the game. The greatest upset of the tournament whs the defeat of Hap Whitaker, of Carolina, who holds singles champion ship of 1925, by Whitener, of Duke in the preliminaries of the semi-finals. The diminutive Tar Heel forced Whitener to extend himself to the limit but his op ponent's great driving power and super ior height soon gave him the advantage. The Duke players, were unheralded and their great success was phenomenal. Continued on page four) Dr. Henderson to Conduct Seminar At University Va.

The dance came ns the culminating feature of the series of installaton'events which have been in progress here since Thursday. The ceremonies have been attended by many visitors, including na tional officers of the Fraternity, Gumma Delta ulumiii. and members from Duke, Stale, and other' nearby chapters of Lambda Chi Alpha. - The crowning event of the festivities of the week was the installation ball at the Inn, Friday night which brought u brilliant culmination to the "big doings". The ball room was strikingly and elaborately decorated in purple, gold, and green, the colors of the frater nity. Streamers of fiese colors were draped in abundance around Ihe walls, converging at the center of the room in a spider-like effect. The outstanding feature of the decoration scheme was a large pin of the Fraternity, u crescent with the Greek letters Lambda, Chi, and Alpha set within the opening? illumin ated with purple, green, and gold lights. The grand march and fraternity figure was led by Henderson Rourk and Char les Crawford. During the march each girl was presented with two attractive favors; one, a beautiful combination handbag and and vanity case of blue calfskin with the Lambda Chi Alpha seal, and the other, a kitten to be worn on the shoulder, a novelty very much in vogue just at present. The spotlight, playing on the couples during Hie figure and the three dances " set aside for Lambda Chis oidy, converted the' ball room into a fairyland of flashing colors and dancing shapes, a smart collection of attractive girls, here for the events of the installation and the Carolina- Virginia base-ball game graced theocca- sion with their presence and together with the splendid music of the Tarson ians, made the ball one long to be re membered. . The installation ceremonies began Thursday night with the actual instal lation ceremony in the Di Senate hull. An installation team from Duke Uni versity officiated at the occasion and a member of the petitioning fraternity was chosen to undergo the initiation. Im mediately after the installation rites, the national officers of the order, the instal lation team, visiting ' members, and alumni of Gamma Delta were entertained by. the newly established chapter at a delightful buffett supper at the Carolina Inn.

',! nounced Subjects. "A W OR KING FAIT II" Dr. Charles R, Brown, Dean of the Di vinity School At Yale, Wj)I De liver the Series. " ' Carolina Trackmen Take Meet From Virginia 65-6 1 Some slight changes have been made in the wording of the general theme and the three topics for. the McNair Lectures which will be delivered in Memorial Hall on the evenings of May 11, 12, and 13, by Charles R. Brown, Dean of the Di vinity School of Yale University. The general theme will be "A Work ing' Faith", and the three lecture topics will be, "What we Live By", "What Does It Mean to be A Christian", and "What Value, Has the High Motive". As previously announced, the general theme was "A Working Faith", and the lecture topics were "What SVe Live By", "The Real Test of a Christian", and "The Christian Way of Life". Dr. Brown is quite a distinctive gentle-- man, being a native of West Virginia and since 1911 he has been Dean of the School of Divinity at Yale. He received his A. B. degree from the University of Iowa in 1803, and from the , same place in 188S he was given the A. M degree. Several reputable colleges and universities in the, east have conferred upon him the L. L. D. and S. T. D. de grees. During his. early year? he was a lecturer in many colleges and univer sities. Between 1836-1911 he was pastor of the First Congregational Church of Oakdale, Cal. He 'was the Layman Beecher lecturer at Yale in 1905 and 190fi, and agairi in 1922 and 1923. He was also the Ingersoll lecturer on Im mortality at Harvard in 1920. Dr. BroVn has also done extensive professional study in Egypt and Palestine. Dr. Brown is very popular on the Yale campus as well as being very well known throughout the entire country. President Chase and the lecture com mittee are very anxious for the entire body to become acquainted with him and attend the, full series of lectures. No small part of his popularity is due to his widely recognized number of relig ious treatises, the foremost of which are: Main Point, Social Message of the Mod ern Pulpit, Why I Believe in Religion, The Masters Way, Faith anc1 Health, and The Strange Ways of God. ' j The McNair Lecture fund was estab lished by the will of John Calvin McNair, class of 189, and the lectures have been given annually, excepting 1921 when the speaker was prevented by ill health. The will provides that the lectures "shall be to show the mutual bearing of science and religion upon each other and to prove the existence of attributes of God from nature." The fund also provides for the publications of the lectures. The McNair Lectures for last year were very ably delivered by President William ling Poteat of Wake Forest College upon the general subject "Can a Man Be a Christian Today. , BILL SlIAltPK 'ir.""- - m 1 1 V j ;f.

Carolina Alumnus Talks Of Early Days and Songs By Alex Mendenham. The University of North Carolina Glee Club broadcasted this year on their an nual trip to the National Glee Club Con test which was held in New York City. A Carolina Alumnus heard them and from him much valuable information of the glee club in the years of '94 and '95 was revealed. Prof. Karl P. Harrington, head of the Latin Department at Weslyan Univer sity, Middleton, Conn., an old Carolina Glee Club member, wrote Mr. Weaver that he had heard the Carolina Glee Club on his radio and that it brought back to his dear memories of the old club in the years of 9l and 'M. He says that he was one of the men who helped work up interest among the stu dent body so that enough students would come out to have a glee club. , The present glee club is an " excellent or ganization but it didn't have much on his club according to Dr. J. C. Harring ton. He congratulated Mr. Weaver on the success of the present club and also expressed his desire to see a book print ed of all the songs they used to sing, with the ones they are singing now. N The song "Carolina, Carolina Heaven's Blessing Attend Her" was very popular in those days. The college song was sung different then from 'the jvay we sing it. The words were as follows! Hark the sound if loyal voices,' Ringing loud and true Singing Carolina's praises, Sounding N. C. U. Chorus: Hail to the brighest star of all, Clear in thy rudiance shine! Carolina, priceless gem, Receive all praises thine. 2. ' ; - : ' Round thy name shall ever cluster - Recollections dear ' Filling our hearts with gladness And our days with cheer. ; These words were written by J. K. Pfohl. The Glee club of. '9,1 sang such songs as "Mrs. Wlnslows Soothing Syrun. This served us a great advertisement and the song is still sung by many clubs according to the Oliver D it. son Publishing Co. Mr. Harrington's "Cra dle Song" was among the numbers which I noticed in an old program. . In an issue of the Carolina Uellenian such songs as "Varsity Seen Phunny", 'The Bowery" and many other old airs that still remain popular were comment ed on and discussed as really wonderful tunes. The people of Chapel Hill were very responsive in those days, according to (Continued from page four) 1 A battle royal is expected to ensue on r.merson ricld Monday - when Duke Duncan's baseball cohorts tie up with the Georgia. Tech Yellow Juckets for the first of u two-game series on the home lot (Well Sapp; the hefty sophomore hurler, will probably be called 'on to do mound duty against the Techmcn, since BUI Poyner and "Lefty" Westmoreland are slated to perform against the Vir ginia Cavaliers. ,' The Techinen huvj one of the strongest baseball aggregations in the South, ac cording to all reports issuing from the Yellow Jacket camp. They defeated the Aubun nine in a two-game series last week by the overwhelming scores of 5-2 and 13-7, and are on the warpath for the Tar Heel scalps. Cuim or Flourd, the two hurlers' who worked against the Au bumites, may pitch against the Tar Heels in the first game. The Techmen have two of the best baseball performers in the South in Reeves, shortstop, and Angley, receiver. Both of these men have been playing stel lar baseball for the Yellow Jackets and are good on both the offensive and the defensive. In the last game with the Auburnites, the Tech receiver bingled five times out of as many trips to the rubber. Coach Duncan expects 4iis moundsman to pull" down the Teclunen's batting average when the two face each other Monday. . - The Tar Heels will go infb the fray with aieven break of wins and defeats behind them, and should exhibit a stel lar brand of baseball against the Tech men. If the "Duke's" men succeed In holding together in the final stages of the affair, the Tar Heels will have an even break with the Jellow Juckets.

Playlikers who visited the "University two years ago with their play, "Fashion." This took the audience by storm, with its excellent cast and good stagecraft. This year the Playrnakers are bring ing them here under the direction of Prof. W. R. Taylor for Saturday, May 1. They will present three one-act plays which were very successfully produced In Greensboro last week. -.The Uiversity of North Carolina track men defeated the University of Virginia track stars for the second time in the history of the two Institutions yester day at Charlottesville by the score of o'S-fil. The meet was so clo-lv con tested that not until the fast event had been run off was the outcome denltely established. The Tar Heels defeated the Cavaliers for the first time last year at Char lottesville bythe Score of 83-13. But the Virginia aggregation was much stronger this year thaii formerly. Much Interest wa aroused prior to the contest, for neither team hud lost a dual meet, and bulb were fighting to keop their slates clean for the rest of the season. An interesting side Issue of the meet was the renewal of the old rivalry be tween Gus McPherson, of Carolina, and Henry Cummings, of Virginia, In the dashes. These two stars, who are among the fastest sprintmen of the country, began their rivalry in Prep School. Gus ran for Augusta, while Cummings car-' rted the colors of Woodbury Forest. However Cummings was too fast for McPherson and led him to the tape in a thrilling century dash. In the 220 yard da ,h McPherson was also defeated after a most exciting and hotly contested race. i The chief factor In the TaP Heel's victory was clear superiority in the hurd les. Lawrence Watt took first place in both hurdles, and Carolina won 17 out of 18 points, Carolina took the lead in the early events, but the Cavaliers soon forged ahead by means of the 100, 220 and 410 yard dashes and by taking first places in all the field events except the high jump which was a tie.- Then came the hurdles In which Watt, Giersh and Huggins put Carolina in the lead by two points. The 880 yard run and broad jump remained to bft contested and Coach Bob's proteges needed eight points to win. Six were gained when Captain Jonas placed first and Rhinehart thb-d in the' 8H0. Greene, Virginia, was winner fn the broad jump, but Woodward saved the day for Carolina when he out jumped (Cuntivund on pap four) PLAYMAKER READING IS TOMORROW NIGHT Oscar Wildes "The Importance of Be ing Earnest" Will Be Read by Dougall MacMillan There will be a very interesting read ing of Oscar Wild's famous play "The Importance of living f.arnest," by Douguld MacMillan on Sunday night at eight o'clock in The Carolina I'luyiimkers building. This pl.-,y was shown by the l'luymakers in March, 1920, and was in every way a success. Mr. MacMillun's interpretation of the phiy will be well worth hearing. The following commentary was made by Professor Koch: "The Importance of Being Earnest" was first produced ut the St. James Theatre in London on Febru ary H, 1895. It represents the happiest expression of the comic spirit of Oscar Wilde in a play remarkable for its in genious plot and glittering line Al though the heart of the pluy Is a .little more than a punv nevertheless the aud ience is swept along with a familiar de light until the end. As a play of charm ing triviality, but well nigh perfect form, The Importance of Heing F.arnest' oc cupies a unique place in English comedy. It is typical of an era of decadence in English life and literature a period of prose. The author has well phrased his attitude and achievement; "I treat ed "art as the supreme reality and life as a mere mode of fiction. . . . I summed up all systems in a phrase und all existence in a epigram." Oscar Wilde has brought to the stage the keenest wit it lias known since Sher- dian. Had he realized early in life the importance of being earnest, as he did in his tragic ending, he would have probably made a more significant contri bution. Whatever the shortcomings of ife and the limitations of his art, "lie was the galvanic shock which did infinite harm to himself,' says the critic. Mont rose J. Moses, "but a great deal of good to the Victorian age". And it can not be denied that he achieved an unusual brillancy of style and Irresistible wit. In) I j
