Carolina Ball Club Defeats
Hampden-Sidneyin Loose Game
Tar Heels Clout Heavily; Mackie,
Sharpe, and Hatley Laced out
Three Home Runs in Succes
sion in Third Inning; Visitors
Gather Nine Hits.
Tar Heel swatsmiths set what
is believed to be a new record
for college baseball yesterday af
ternoon when Mackie, Sharpe,
and Hatley laced out homeruns
in succession in the third inning
of the game with Hampden-Sid-ney
on Emerson Field, which
the Carolinians won, 10-7. '
Three homeruns in one inning
is an uncommon happening, and
three in succession is even more
uncommon.
Coach Ashmore's men opened
on the Virginians with a bar
rage of heavy artillery and when
the smoke had cleared away the
Tar Heels had sixteen hits, four
homeruns, one triple, two dou
bles, and nine singles, to their
credit. Clean, hard hitting was
the order of the day, and each
of the Tar Heels' runs was earned.-;;.
'
Coxe and Young opened the
eventful third stanza with sin
gles and Ed Mackie slammed out
a hard one into deep left which
went for a round trip. Sharpe
immediately proceeded to deliver
a line drive into the same gar
den, and Ward, Hampden-Sid-
ney left fielder misjudged it, and
it pulled up only at the wire.
Captain Hatley, undismayed at
his teammates' hitting, duplicat
ed Sharpe's feat and his drive
into left center got through to
the fence for the third straight
homer.
The Tar Heels tallied another
marker in each the fifth and
sixth innings on' bunched hits,
and three in the seventh on
Tommy Coxe's circuit blow, the
fourth of the game, which scor
ed Satterfield and Burt ahead of
him. Both runners got on base
on hits, so that all the Tar Heel
Scores for the day were earned.

TWO HOPS WILL
LIVEN WEEK-END
Pi Kappa Phi Ball at Durham
Tomorrow Followed by Grail
Dance Saturday. .
Although last week's gone but
never to be forgotten Easter
dances offered a brimming cup
of satisfaction to Carolina's so
cially inclined, the jazz hounds
f Ye Olde University are des
tined to. receive no rest for
quite a while from the spring
social whirl. Two more hops
are scheduled for this week-end
to keep the pot boiling. v
The State, Duke, and Caro
lina chapters of the Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity are to be hosts at
the Washington Duke Hotel to
morrow evening, and on the fol
lowing night the Order of the
Grail will "throw" their second
shag of the quarter in Bynum
gymnasium. These two affairs
give a bright outlook for Friday
ad Saturday nights, for a
large crowd of girls is expected
to grace both dance floors.
The musical inspiration for
the first dance will be furnished
by "Jelly" Leftwich and his Or
chestra, from Duke University,
and the Buccaneers will keep
things going at the second.
Stags will be limited at the Grail
affair as usual, and the gym will
receive a seintilating coat of
novel decorations.
Carolina and Davidson will
hook up in their second engage
ment of the season here Friday
afternoon on Emerson Field at
four o'clock. The first game, the
annual Easter Monday classic
between the two teams in Salis
bury, resulted in a comparative
ly easy victory for the Tar
Heels, 6-1 ; and Coach Ash
more's men are doped to make it
two in a row over the Wildcats.
The Tar Heel mentor gave the
Presbyterians a sample of just
about everything he had in the
pitching line in the Easter Mon
day game, but variety held no
spice for them. Westmoreland,
Ellison, and Thomas all paraded
out to the mound, but the best
the Wildcats could get was two
measly his off Thomas. They
didn't even touch Westmoreland
or Ellison, and the Tar Heels
beat out thirteen base raps for
an easy victory.
The Davidson game will be
the Tar Heels' last home stand
until after their annual trip
which will begin the first part of
next week.
CURBING FLOODS ,
FAVORED BY PHI
Bill Favoring Federal Erection
and Upkeep of Levees
Meets Approval.
The regular weekly meeting of
the Phi Assembly, held Tuesday
night was marked by a discus
sion of a bill, "Resolved, that the
Phi Society go on record as fav
oring the Federal erection and
upkeep of all" levees and dykes
along the Mississippi river."
Representative Mewborne sta
ted that under Federal manage,
ment the dykes would receive
the vigilance and care which is
so apt to be , lacking when en
trusted to private enterprise.
He further argued that it seem
ed unfair that the inland states
should not be afforded protection
from their particular dangers as
much as the Coastal states who
receive large yearly appropria
tions.
Mr. Kelly then took the floor
to say that the states drained by
the Mississippi river are the
most fertile in the.country and
it seems to show negligence on
their part when they fail to pro
vide proper protection for their
valuable possessions.
There was no more discussion
of the resolution so a vote was
taken and the bill was passed by
a large majority.
There were two resolutions in
troduced, Resolved:' that the
Phi Society go on record as fav

GREEN'S NEW PLAY
OPENS IN N Y.
Young Dramatist's Second Met
ropolitan Vehicle Receives
Favorable Comment.
The Field God, Paul Green's
play which opened at the Green
wich Villiage Thaetre, Thurs
day, April 21, while not receiv
ing as much favorable comment
as In Abraham's Bosom is on the
whole a success.
There is the same criticism as
before, the fact that Professor
Green's plays are not closely
woven, that the play sprawls
over too many scenes and is not
direct and to the point. It also
suffers somewhat from the pro
duction, especially the acting of
the main roles. The minor roles,
according to numerous reviews,
are well taken and Claudius
Mintz, a former Playmaker, re
ceives special mention in the
Sun, Times, and Herald Tribune.
The settings, by Louis Brorri
berg, were considered excellent.
The reviews as a whole were
favorable, the Times says: "In
fact, Mr. Green has interwoven
his motives and episodes with
rare imagination, though not
with perfect skill. Inevitably
The Field God suggests compar
ison with O'Neill's Desire Under
the Elms in which the situation
is roughly the same. , But Mr.
Green's play does not fuse its
story, character and environ
ment so beautifully. For back
ground and atmospheric color
The Field God is uncommonly
pleasing." - :
The Evening World says:
"There is no question but that
Mr. Green, whose work has been
praised by Eugene O'Neill him
self, and with whom he has been
frequently, compared since his
first play, In Abraham's Bosom
was produced, has written hefe
a drama that is good, but it is
still sketch work for better
things to, come."
The Sun says of Claudius
Mintz: "And one Claudius
Mintz acceptable as one of those
idiot boys who always add to
the niceness of these peasant pic
tures, whether south of the
Dnieper or the Mason-Dixon
line." r
GLEE CLUB CONCERT
IS POSTPONED
The Glee Club concert sche7
duled and advertised for Sat
urday night, April 30, has been
postponed indefinitely owing to
the complications presented by
a masquerade ball to be given by
the Chapel Hill country club.
Paul J. Weaver, coach of the
Glee Club and head of the Uni
versity Department of - Music,
declared today. The date of the
ball was unknown when the time
for the concert was decided.
Mr. Weaver stated that as
faculty members usually com
prised the major portion of the
audience, the ball would unfor
tunately cut down attendance a
great deal.
It has not been decided wheth
er a concert will be given in May
or not, but another formal ap
pearance of the Glee Club will
take place at which the group
selected to make the trip to Eu
rope will sing, 'before the close
of the present quarter.
Garrett Morehead, captain-
elect of the football team, who
was recently injured in a motor
accident has ' recovered suffi
ciently to return to classes. He
arrived Monday afternoon and
was seen about the campus us
ing a cane.

CHINESE IMPOSED
ON, SAYSTURNER
"Y" Cabinet Hears Address on
Chinese Tangle by Experi
enced Missionary.
"We think of the Chinese as
beneath us, and fail to think of
them as a . cultured race," de
clared Gene Turner, former resi
dent of Wake Forest, in an ad
dress to the members of the com
bined Y. M. C. A. Cabinets
Tuesday night.
In discussing the Chinese sit
uation, Mr. Turner stated that
there were three things for
which China was fighting: (1)
Nationalism; (2) the economic
uplift of the people; (3), and
popular government. It is the
opinion of Mr. Turner that
there is too much foreign inter
vention in China. There is a
fear, he explained, of their coun
try being partitioned into small
parcels of territory by the for
eign governments. They be
lieve that the schools and insti
tutions of other countries are
carrying out a cultural imperial
ism. The citizens of China re
garded the shooting of the nine
Chinese students by British po
lice the culmination of the un
just acts of' outside powers.
The Chinese have more friend
liness for the Americans than
for many of the other foreign
ers. The speaker believes that
China is ready to meet the Unit
ed States fairly and squarely
when this country approaches
them on a friendly basis. One
of the great mistakes of America
was the sending of the first ma
rines.
Mr. H. F. Comer introducing
the speaker stated that he had
been in China as a missionary
for 14 years. He also announced
that Mr. Turner would be in the
Y. M. C. A. for conference from
10:00 to 1700 and from 2:30 to
3:30 o'clock.
Preceeding the address of Mr.
Turner the president of the
Senior Cabinet appointed Ed
Hudgins, Joe Bobbitt, and
Windy Crew as a committee to
prepare the deputation trip to
Greensboro this week.
Rodin Lecture
Tar Heel Net Captain Meets
Roddy, Davidson Flash, in
Semi-finals; Rogers, Duke
Captain and State Champion,
Meets Team-mate Whisnant
in Other Match.
SEMI-FINALS, FINALS TODAY
McCutcheon and Carr, Davidson.
Doped to Retain Doubles Title.
Dr. Edgar Wind delivered a
lecture on Auguste Rodin, fam
ous French sculptor and think
er, to a large and appreciative
audience in Phillips Hall, Tues
day evening. -
This lecture wa3 made doubly
interesting and effective by the
use of slides, which served to
show some of the wonderful
work done by Rodin. The slides
used were very unique and were
perfectly suited for their purpose.
Dr. Wind set forth important
facts about the life of Rodin, de
voting most of his time, how
ever, to an explanation of the
marvelous work of the sculptor.
(By Ben Kendrick)
The state intercollegiate ten
nis tournament got under way
Tuesday, and by last night play
had been completed through the
round of eight in the singles and
one semi-finals in the doubles.
The men to advance to the semi
finals in the singles were :
Rogers of Duke, the winner in
last year's tourney, who ad
vanced by disposing of Coving
ington of Carolina; Captain El
gin of Carolina, who eliminated
Carr, one of Davidson's stellar
performers ; Roddy of Davidson ;
and Whisnant of Duke. The
doubles have narrowed down to
McCutcheon and Carr of Dav
idson, last year's champions, who
will play Ppwers and Hall of
Wake Forest this morning for
the right to enter the finals.
Their opponents will be either
Elgin and Waddell of Carolina
or Rogers and Whisnant, Duke's
number one team.
The teams entered in the
tournament came from , Duke,
Carolina, Davidson, Wake For
est, and Lenoir-Rhyne. So far
the best showing has been made
by Duke, who has placed two
men in the semi-finals of singles,
and as they oppose each other
Duke is certain of one man in
the finals. The Blue Devils also
have a potent doubles team in
Rogers and Whisnant, although
their team play is not of the
best. Davidson besides has a
powerful aggregation here with
three of the best players in the
state in McCutcheon, Carr, and
Roddy.
Powers-Roddy Match
Perhaps the best match that
has been played so far was the
one between Powers, the Wake
Forest captain, and Roddy, the
Wildcat wonder. Due to a poor
draw these stars met in one of
the two first round matches.
Powers was handicapped by an
illness from which he had but
recently recuperated, but that
should not detract from the
glory of Roddy's victory which
was "fully deserved. Powers
started out using his heavily
topped drive, which completely
broke up Roddy's beautiful
driving game. However, the
Davidson boy was equal to the
emergency, and by changing his
game to a chopping one, won a
victory which fully justified his
strategy. Roddy's next oppon
ent was T. E. Dalrymple, Caro
lina's second man, whom he sum
marily disposed of to the tune
of 6-2, 6-0.
Another exciting match was
the one between Waddell, Caro
lina's tow-headed flash, and Mc
Cutcheon, the Davidson captain.
Waddell opened up like a house
on fire, and breezed through the
first set, 6-2, but his erratic
drives and the shortness of his
lobs proved his downfall and
his opponent ran out the next
two sets and the match,
Carr, another Davidson ex
pert, was much in evidence when
he defeated Burns, a former
Duke captain, 3-6, 6-2, 6-0. As
is the custom with: him, he spent
the first set in getting his drives
in working order, and the last
