Showing an inconquerable -fighting
spirit, the Tar Heel baseball aggregation
came from behind In the seventh and
eighth stanzas Thursday to hand the
Wake Forest Demon Deacons a 12 "to 7
walloping on Emerson field In the third
and final series game between the two
squads. The Tar iHeels fought against
the odds all the way, and drove James,
Deacon twirling ace, from the mound in
the eighth frame, and hopped on Person,
who replaced him, for five hits to count
for six runs and the contest
The Deacons started the scoring in
the fourth frame when they pushed one
run across, but the Tar Heels came back
in their half of the fifth verse to count
three times, only to have the Deacons
push' five, runs across the plate in the
seventh inning to make the count stand
6 to 3. The Tar Heels, in their half of
the same frame, counted three markers
to knot the count, and put the game
away on ice in the eighth inning when
they pushed across six runs in rapid suc
cession. TheDeacons tried a ninth in
ning rally, but succeeded in scoring only
one. run and the nal score stood 12 to 7.
Bill Sharpe, Tar Heel receiver, led the
hitting for the Duncanites. Sharpe went
to the rubber four times and smashed
out three stinging singles, one of which
started the runkus in the seventh inning
that tied the score, for Carolina. Be
sides performing stellarly at the bat, the
big catcher worked his usual steady game
behind the plate, and, although four Dea
cons pilfered bases on him, he was gen
erally , "right there with the gootls."
"Moose" Tenney ran Sharpe a close
second for Tar Heel batting honors
with three safe blows out of five trips,
while James, the Deacon hurler, led the
hitting for-is '.team.' with three safe
ties out. of four trips. Clayton and
Martin were the only other Deacons to
collect more than one safe bingle, each
of them getting two safeties.
The Deacons started the scoring in the
fourth inning when Sapp struck out Holt
to start the inning only to walk Baucom
and Riley in record time. P. Joyner
then flew out to left, but Martin sin
gled to score Baucom. James flew out
to left to end the frame. The Deacons
registered again in the seventh verse.
G reason led off with a single to left
field, and Clayton followed with an in
field hit, advancing Greason to. sec
ond. - Holt then hit to Sapp who threw
Greason out at third, but Baucom got
an infield hit and the bases were loaded,
Riley lined out a single to left and
'Clayton and Holt counted. J. Joyner
hit a Texas Leaguer back of third, and
Baucom held to the second sack think
ing Young would catch the ball; how
ever, the Tar Heel gardener missed it,

The Tar ; Heels jscored their initial
runs in the fifth frame. Webb, leading
off, popped out to third, but Jones was
safe on Greason's miscue. Sharpe sin

GOOD TALKS ARE FEATURE
Managers and Captain for Next Year's

the Meeting.
Thursday nielit the Southern Cham
pionship track squad 'Were guests of the
University of North Carolina at one of
the biggest and best banquets ever given
in the Carolina Inn. Approximately 50
men took advantage of Charlie Woollen's
hospitality and sat down to a delightful
supper that left no one hungry.
The finest thing about the banquet was
not the fruit salad, not the cream chick
en, not the apple pie, not'the hundred and
one other delicacies served, but the splen
did quality of the snappy talks delivered
by the" few honored faculty members
present, apd the men on the squad who
were gifted with either oratory or in
spiration. It will be a long tune before
the track team will ever have another
toastmaster like Captain Charlie 'Jonas.
His pleasant smile, quips, remarks, and
glowing tributes ran on through the feast
with as much success as the smooth run
ning irrigation stream waters the dry'
plantations. His original humor and dry,
sarcastic wit kept the Whole group, in an
uproar of laughter. Finally, near the end
of the banquet, the retiring captain set
tied into a serious frame of mind and de
livered himself of a few choice remarks
about the men behind the guns, the scrubs,
who never get credit for the real success
of an achievement, but are just as essen
tial to the welfare of an organization as
the stars.
The whole banquet seemed to be lead
ing up to one mighty purpose. Try as they
could the speakers could not get away
from that definite end. As the banquet
neared the time of completion the climax
was at last reached. Every one had had
his say and Jonas then introduced the

Many stars have flashed across the hori

gratulations to those who have made
themselves worthy of a position upon the
mythical nine.
Scarcity of Material
' Tlie past season in baseball has been
marked throughout the State by the
lack of well-training and fast-playing
men. All state teams have been weak, as
was shown by. the invasion of the state
Yellow Jackets from Georgia" Tech, and
the nines from other Southern and north
ern tatcs. Esepccially has there been
a scarcity of inficlders. ' Errors have
been the pass-word, it seems, of nearly
all of the infield combinations, while
weak hitters have been dominant , on
nearly all teams. , In the outfield , a
slightly different complication has re
sulted; that of choosing six men from
the ten or twelve excellent players that
have been produced. Very noticable has
been the difference in the hitting strength
of the outfields and infields. On the
mound, lew pitchers other than those
who were selected, on the mythical team
last year have appeared. Wake Forest
beyond ' a doubt possesses two of the
best hurlers in the state in Sorrell and
Simmons, while James and K. Joyner,
two more fleacon twirlers, cannot be
overlooked in making our selection.

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB CLOSES
ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON
This Year's Organization Has Traveled More Widely, Sang to
More People, Earned More Money and Gained More
Favorable Comment Than Any Club in the
History of the University.
By J. R. DfJournette
A resume of the activities of the Glee
Club this year shows' 'that' the 'club under
the direction of Paul J. Weaver has had
the most successful year in it's history.
The organization , is young considering
the fact that only recently it departed
from the usual type of Glee Club whose
chief object is to entertain, and began
to train its group in classical .music.
The success of a club of this type is
harder to obtain ' because little mistakes
which can be covered over by a- Club
rendering amusing programs, remain very
obvious in a classical program. Neces
sarily singing must approach perfection
in order to be successful.
One succe leads to another. In the
Kansas City trip a program of wide travel
was begun which was resumed in the
New York trip. The two other major
trips took the club over Eastern and
Western North Carolina and part of Vir
ginia. The Glee Club is the most widely
traveled organization on the campus, hav
ing covered about 5,000 miles this year.
The earning power of the Carolina Glee
Club excclls most organizations of similar
type. It is credited'with having earned
$6000 out of 24 concerts given to over
10,000 people. This amount is, three
times more than any club has ever earned
at tlie University.
Three concerts were broadcasted on the
last trip and Victor records were made.
The broadcasting brought congratulations
for the club from cities as far west as
St. Louis. . ''
Phonographic records were made for
the Brunswick Company on the same trip
and these records arc beig used by their
demonstrating salesmen in advertising the
hew Brunswick PanatropcTalIdhg, Ma
chine. Recently this comn&ny,;. has ; asked
the Glee Club to make records for them
again on the return trip to New York
next winter. -
1 lie iew Y orfc concert this .winter
received ' full space comment by all th
musical magazines and the New York
Times gave musical criticism' in the musi
cal section of the paper. . It is interesting
to note that musical criticism is rarely giv
en to college glee jclubs, by the New, York
Times. ' ',,.
Plans have been made next year for
three major trips. A fall trip will cover
Eastern North Carolina and possibly
South Carolina. The eastern part of the
state has proved the best earning territory
for the Club. -Winter activities will cul
minate in the New York trip, with en
gagements in Phifadelphia, Baltimore, and
Bronxville, New York. The Spring, tour
will carry the club as far west as Cin
cinnati with concerts in Lexington, Ken
tucky, Tennessee and . the larger cities
in Western North Carolina. There is
also to be a few week-end trips to Sweet
Briar, Hollins College and Randolph
Macon at Lynchburg, during the Winter.
The Club, .next year will concentrate
on Folk songs and negro Spirituals. Mr.
Weaver will do extensive work on devel
oping this type of music. A larger per
sonal will be used for this purpose. The
personnel will be selected in the tryouts
which are to be held at the beginning
of school.
With these plans and others .which are
underway the club will have a strong
incentive to make the Glee Club the best
organization on the campus.
