SCRIBE REVIEWS SEASON
Nine Games Won and Fifteen Lost
Tar Heel Record Duncan Pull
Surprise.
By Jimmik Cooxims
One more exhibition afl'air to he placed
with the State College Wolfpack on
Emerson field next Saturday and" the
Carolina baseball season will have ended.
The season cannot be said to be one
of tremendous success, and yet it is
decidedly not one of failure. Only nine
games have been won to stand against
fifteen defeats, but victory is to be
measured hi i more than comparative
scores of; baseball games. A retro
spective study of the post-seuson dope,
and the 'season itself will give us a little
knowledge of the task that Coach Duke
Duncan had at the beginning of the
year, and the very fine manner in which
he has completed that task.
Pessimism Reigned Supreme
' At the beginning of the year, it will
be . remembered, dopesters figured that
the Tar Heels would undoubtly have
the weakest team in the state, and that
they were, out of the championship run
ning even before the started. . Some
pessimists even went so far as to pre
dict that Carolina would not win a game
during the entire season because, with
the exception of two or three players,
the entire Carolina squad would be com
posed of "rookies" and members of the
'25 .. freshmen squad.
Duncan Pulled A Surprise
When the Umpire yelled "Play Bawl !"
at the beginning of the U. N. C.-Dart-mouth
game, the first contest of the
season, the general opinion among the
spectators was that the Tar Heels would
suffer an awful walloping at the hands
of the northerners, hut a different story
resulted. "Big Bill" Poyner held the
nara-nrttiiig""tsreenie"sTtriin lot- kjs
gles, three of them infield flys that hit
the ground as a result of a high wind,
and the Tar Heels took the small end
of a t to 3 count
Opinion Changed ,
Immediately a great change took place
in the -opinion which . the student body
held of the baseball squad, and Instead
of regarding it as an aggregation com
posed of nothing but "rookies", as they
had said a few hours before, the stud
ents went to the other extreme and
seemed to regard the Duncanite aggre
gation as a mythical nine capable of
whipping all on-comers, and when the
Tar Heels failed to show up s well
in later games air castles were urst
and some of the worst sportsmanship
that we have ever seen resulted.
The Hitting
Undoubtedly Carolina had the hardest
hitting club in the state this year. - At
the last Tar Heel figuring, the team was
hitting the ball at the fast clip of .321
a mark seldom reached by any base
ball club, and it had numbered among
its ranks seven men who were hitting

GRAH A M "IS INVENTOR
Handsome Table Lamp Designed on
Style of Carolina's Old
. Well.
A sample of the Old Well table lamp
invented by C..E. Graham, assistant su
perintendent of the University consoli
dated service plants, will be on display
during commencement at the office of
Mr. Graham. Orders may be placed
through the Service Plants office and the
lamps will be sent to' any address.
Mr. Graham conceived his idea of the
Old Well Lamp when he overheard a
conversation by two alumni who were
talking of the Old Well and the memo
ries it brought to them of the days when
they were at the University. He worked
out plans for a diminutive Old Well in
the form of a table lamp. The lamp
stands 18 inches high and is operated by
a handle which acts as a switch to turn
the light off and on. It is made of stat
uary bronc and amber glass. .
The lamp was approved by Univer
sity authorities as being of Interest to
alumni everywhere.

Membership.
Realizing the necessity of a closer

"The Romancers", Rostund's comedy

a story of two beautiful lovers, of their
fathers who have reached the age of
chess and the chimney' 4orner and of

VERY GOOD BOOK

JOKE S E C T I ON GOOD
Dislikes Color Plates and Purple Title
, Pages. "
Reviewing the Yackety Yack, is like
trying to make a thumb nail sketch of
creation. , And the reviewer must be
very careful, for the Yackety Yack
carries a good deal of weight,
Our mind impressions were unfavor
able. The picture section was done in
'colors, and colored photographs have
not the dignity and beauty of the 'sepia
prints used last year. The title pages
boasted of a venomous shade of purple
that nauseated.
And our figures were gummy with the
apple sauce that dripped from the pages
devoted to the aparently unequalled sen
ior class. Every annual, it seenls, must
huve a joke section. The Yackety 'Yack
however, has made of this a joke sec
tion, With several good bits.
An annual is a gigantic and thankless
task. Our compliments to the staff, for
withal they have put forth a publication
that is worthy of the name. .- '

The darkest hour comes just before

a silver lining. These adages are to be
given concrete proof for local' social
lights during the course of the next two
weeks. The threatening cloud of exam
inations which now hovers dangerously
near the heads of a helpless and hope
less student body, ready to burst and
bring to the campus untold "weeping,
wailing und gnashing of teeth," will
bring in its wake a season equally as joy
ous as Examination week is sad. All of
which goes 'to suy that the final dances
to be held June 8, 9 and 10 will come
as a glorious climax to a year of out
standing social successes. The officials
of the German Club ,are emphatic in
their statements that this will be the
best set of dances held in recent years
from a standpoint of music, dancers, and
decorations. ,
The music will undoubtedly be the
best heard on the campus In many

METHODIST DISTRICT
MET HERE THURSDAY
Durham District Holds Its Annual
Convention In New Methodist
Church Here.
The annual Methodist Conference of
the Durham district met in the new
Methodist Church in Chapel Hill Thurs
day and Friday of this week. About 250
ministers and representatives from 29
charges in the four counties of the dis
trict attended the conference for the
purpose of electing eight delegates to
the annual state conference to be held
in Durham in November, to examine the
quarterly records of each charge, and
to license and recommend several young
preachers to the state conference.. This
is the first time the conference has ever
met in Chapel Hill.
Dr. Mike Bradshaw, of Durham, Pre
siding Elder of the District, was chair
man of the conference. The first session
was held in the new church Thursday
morning, at which time Dr. E. D. Soper,
Dean of the School of Religion of Duke
University, delivered the first sermon
preached in the new church, his subject
being Fear of Ood4 it the Beginning of
all Wisdom." The outstanding feature
of the afternoon session Thursday was
the sermon by Dr. H. C. Smith, Pastor
of Duke Memorial Church of Durham,
on The True Foundation, Jetu Christ.
Reports of the charges were heard
from the 29 pastors at the session yes
terday morning. Mr. A. S. Barnes,

MEETING HELD
Durham and Chapel Hill Alum
ni Met Monday Evening.
GENERAL MEETING JUNE 4
Luncheon to be Held at Washington
Duke Hotel In Durham Com
mittees Appointed.
In recognition of the dire need at
Carolina for an adequate place In which
to stage all athletic events in which
the University participates on Its home
grounds, a meeting of Interested alumni
from Durham and Chapel Hill was held
last Monday evening at the Washington
Duke Hotel In Durham at which plans
were formulated for the Instigation of a
drive which will produce the much
needed stadium at Chapel Hill.
A committee which will be known as
the Durhum Stadium Committee was ap
pointed at the Monday meeting which
will endeavor to, start the movement
whereby Emerson Field, which has grown
entirely inadequate to meet the needs of
the University, : will be replaced by a
modern stadium.
A N sub-committee was appointed to
work out the details of a plan, and to
ascertain the exact needs of the Univer
sity and to report at a general meeting
of the University alumni which will be
held at the Washington Duke Hotel on
June 4. This committee is made up of
the following men: Robert Lasslter, pro
minent Charlotte man, chairman; Dr.
Foy Roberson, K. P. Lewis, L. P. Mc
Lendon, J. L. Morehead, and G. W. Hill.
This commltteee has been directed to
have something of a definite nature as to
the kind of stadium needed and the meth
ods of meeting its cost to report to the
general meeting for consideration and
possible adoption. .
The Durham committee has hopes of
a large attendance at the general meet
ing of June 4 in consideration of the
fact that at that time commencement
will be in progres at the University
which will call hundreds of the alumni
back to the "Hill". It Is the desire of
the committee that a full and representa
tive group of men attend the meeting so
that some definite action may be taken
upon the matter. A luncheon has been
planned for one o'clock of that day,
while the business session will begin at
twelve o'clock and will continue until
the matter has been disposed of. June
1 has been designated as the final day
on which requests for reservations "can be
sent in, and Dr. Foy Roberson, as secre
tary of the temporary organization, has
been given the task of arranging the
luncheon.
Much enthusiasm marked Monday
evening's meeting, and the men attending
feel that the movement will have the
loyal support of the alumni. By June 4
it is expected that the plans will have
gained such momentum that at the gen
eral meeting the' stadium will be assured
through the action of those in attend
ance. Members of the Durham Stadium Com

TRACK TEAM DRAWS CURTAIN ON
A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Seven Dual Meets, State Intercollegiate Meet and Southern Con
ferencce Championship Annexed This Year by the
Tar Heel Track and FieldiAthletes.
the Tar Heels walked (or rather swam)
away with the Southern Conference track
and field meet on Emerson IJeld a few
weeks ago, they annexed the most desir
able honor in all Dixie. To be distin
guished as the most powerful group of
track ' athletes in attendance at over
twenty-one colleges and universities is
certainly a worthwhile performance; and
thrft's what Carolina is quilty of.
The remarkable feature of this year's
track accomplishment is the rapid man
ner in which the squad has risen from an
obscure position to the foremost place
in all the Southland. Four years ago,
before the coming of Coach Bob, "track"
at the University of North Carolina was
merely- a word that meant an imprint
in the' mud left by some animal or hu
man. Today "track is a word, synono
mous with great deeds, that calls forth
thrills' of pride and self-satisfaction in
the hearts of every true North Carolin
ian, for after all few things are more
annreciated than a job well done.
This story might go on for columns
and columns, shouting praise to Caro

By "Mutt" Evans
The greatest track team that has ever
represented the University of North
Carolina has hung up its track shoes
and retired to enjoy the fruits of a hard
earned victory. In plain words, the
Carolina track season of 1926 is over.
And what a glorious season that was. -
A review of the year 1926 in athletics
at the University is crammed full of
outstanding achievements. But Caroli
na's track achievements this year will go
down as a record that has rarely been
equaled in the history of Southern sport
competition. Participating in ten con
tests, the U. N. C. cinderpath artiste
emerged with flying colors in every sin
gle one of them. They conquered seven
of the strongest track squads in the
South In "3ual meets, won the State in
tercollegiate meet and the Southern Con
ference meet, and made the most meri
torious showing at the Georgia Tech Re
lays. In such an Impressive list of triumphs,
it should be a hard task to pick out the
biggest and most worthwhile defeat. But
such is not the situation this year, when
