Westmoreland Allows Davidson
No Hits in Near Perfect Game
Tar Heels Take Game Easily
with Heavy Slugging and
Good Fielding.
FINAL SCORE WAS 11 TO 0
Only Twenty-nine Men Face
Westmoreland; One Walked,
Another to First on Error.
Joe Westmoreland, Tar Heel
portsider, stepped into base
ball's Hall of Fame here yester
day afternoon when he let the
Davidson Wildcats down with
out a hit in nine full innings of
the national pastime, v While
Westmoreland turned back the
Wildcat batters, the Tar Heels
limbered up their own heavy ar
tillery and drove out an 11 to 0
win.
Only twenty-nine men faced
Westmoreland during the game,
an error by Burt and a base on
balls giving the two extra men
life on the initial sack. For five
full innings "Big West" turned
them back toward the bench as
fast as they came up, and the
more hopeful fans in the stands
started talkirig of a perfect
game, the rarest thing in the
history of baseball.
That perfect game went up in
smoke n the fifth when Young
dropped a throw from short and
allowed Johnson to reach first
safely. Johnson went out a mo
ment later on a fielder's choice
play at second, Dulin being safe
at first. Crawford came up and
drove a hot grounder to second
which Burt fielded clean. Burt
stepped on second to force Dulin
and doubled Crawford at first
Five innings and only fifteen bat
ters to face the Tar Heel star!
And so the game rocked along
for two more innings. s Then
Burt bobbled Davis' easy roller
past the box and the Davidson
right fielder was safe. A free
pass to Woodham with two a-
way in the ninth accounted for
the other extra man to face
Westmoreland.
While Westmoreland made
monkeys of the Cat, batters, his
teammates were busy pounding
out a comfortable lead. Two
runs came in the first, and three
more in the third on Captain
"Son" Hatley's fifth circuit
clout of the year. One more
tally in the fourth, and then a
two inning pause. However,
Tom Young was not satisfied, so
he smacked one of Meadow's of
fering to far left and circled the
cushions, scoring Coxe and Sat
terfield ahead of him.
Coxe, Young, Sharpe and Hat
ley each garnered a pair of
Wows during the rampage, and
even Westmoreland himself step
ped into the fray and spanked
out a three-ply bingle to the
race track in right field. .

Prominent Educator Startles
Alumni Meeting By Advocating
Abolition of Present Methods
Dr. Hamilton Holt
Reviewer Ventures to Pick
Men Golden Fleece Will Tap
Prometheus Selects Seven "Certainties" and Six "Possibilities"
for the Golden Fleece Tapping to Be Held Tuesday
Night in Memorial Hall; Campus Speculates.
(By Prometheus)
The campus eagerly awaits the
twenty-fifth annual tapping of
the Golden Fleece which is to be
held at 8 :30 o'clock Tuesday
night, May 8th, at Memorial
Hall with the Hon. Cameron
Morrison, ex-governor of North
Carolina as the principal speak
er.' Speculation has run high and
wide as to who will be tapped for
membership in the honorary or
der Tuesday night. For weeks
lists have been compared and a
greed upon but' Tuesday night
will settle the' whole affair when
the two masked and hooded fig
ures stride majestically up and
down the aisles of Memorial Hall
to tap those men whom the
Fleece deem worthy of the hon
or men who have excelled in
the fields of their endeavor
while at the University.
The Fleece will probably tap
ten or twelve men this year.
Only in 1911 and 1923 were ten
men tapped and the remaining
years saw any number from five
to thirteen men bidden to enter
the sacred portals of the campus'
most coveted organization.
Great interest and uncertainty
has always drawn probably
greater crowds of students to
this occasion than any other at
traction of the year that and
the excellence of the speakers
and the securing of Hon. Cam
eron Morrison continues the tra
dition that only the best possible
men speak on the august occa
sion. The principal speaker has
not announced a subject nor has
a definite program for the tap
ping been released for publica
tion. '
Membership in the Golden
Fleece is recognized as an award
for high achievement in stu
dent endeavor and this custom
has been rigidly and conscienti
ously adhered to in the past
years. A man's complete college
record is 1 closely perused,
weighed and considered and near
the close of the year, those who
have excelled in their particular
field or have successfully ac
quitted themselves in. a varied
field are ; usually chosen. The
members of the Golden Fleece
are regarded on the campus as
men of high intelligence, charac
ter, ability and worth while ac
complishments. The following three men
were elected to the Golden
Fleece last fall and will ,be ini
tiated this spring: Kike Kyser
of Rocky Mount, N, C; "Red"
Whisnant of Morganton, N. C ;
and Frazier Glenn of Asheville,
N. C. Below is a list which we
have compiled giving the names
of "certainties" and "possibili
ties." The names are arranged
in alphabetical order. ,

TAR HEELS MEET
V. P. I. TUESDAY
Last Game on Emerson Field
Before Tar Heels Take
Southern Trip.
Coach Ashmore's slugging Tar
Heels will make their final bow
before a Carolina audience until
after the southern trip on Emer
son Field Tuesday afternoon at
four o'clock when they take on
the V. P. I. Gobblers. Imme
diately after Tuesday's game,
the squad will leave for Georgia,
where it will play two contests
each with Georgia Tech and the
University of Georgia.
The Tar Heels will have had
a four-day respite from their la
bors when they start the V. P.
I. game Tuesday and should be
fresh and full of pep. Coach
Ashmore will have his whole
mound staff to choose from, and
his pitching selection is uncer
tain. The combination which the
Tar Heel mentor unearthed in
,he Hampden-Sidney game seem
ed to be the best that has been
yet tried, and the same team will
probably take the field in Tues
day afternoon's game. Burt looks
like a permanent fixture at sec
ond although Jonas may work
at short in place of Satterfield.
Westmoreland will probably
start on the mound.

Yesterday the fourteenth an

tion of Alumni Secretaries,
Alumni Magazines Associated,
and Association of Alumni
Funds went into its second
day at the Carolina Inn. An ad
dress by Dr. Hamilton Holt,
President of Rollins College and
former editor of the Independ
ent', presenting a plan advocat
ing the abolition of the time
honored lecture and recitation
methods of instruction in col
leges and universities and sub
stitution of a two-hour confer
ence plan of study under which
student and instructor would be
in constant contact during the
working hours of the day, fea
tured the program yesterday. '
Other speakers yesterday
were W. B. Shaw, Alumni Sec
retary of the University of
Michigan, who read a paper on
"A declaration of principles by
which our alumni work is to be
carried on" ; Miss Helen McMil
lin, editor of the Wellesley
Alumnae Quarterly, who spoke
on "The style Sheet"; James E.
Armstrong, Alumni Secretary of
the University of Notre Dame,
who read a paper on "Club and
Alumni Scholarships"; John G.
Olmestead, Alumni Secretary of
Oberlin College, on "Community
chest idea applied to college
solicitation for funds," Levering
Tyson, who spoke on "The Need
of an Executive Office," and Mr.
Ray Brooks of Colgate and Mr.
Walter R. Okeson of Lehigh,
who presented arguments for
class and sectional organization.
Hawley Tapping, Field Secre
tary of the University of Mich
igan, also spoke on "Field Sec
retaries." Dr. Holt's radical proposal
startled the delegates and pre
cipitated a lively discussion. He
said that he conceived the plan
before he became a college exe
cutive and that it is unique in
this country, It is being tried
at Rollins College this year for
the first time and with success,
he declared.
Under the plan as described
by him, the student would go on
class about eight o'clock in the
morning and. be dismissed
shortly after three in the after
noon, with an hour for lunch.
The remainder of the afternoon
would be devoted to athletics or
some form of exercise, while the
evening's would be devoted in
part to cultural programs of lec
tures and music, although at
tendance upon these would be
optional, providing additional
time for students desiring to
supplement their regular class
room study . The view was em
phasized, however, that the
regular conference study hours
between eight and three, when
students and instructors would
be together all the time, would
achieve greater results than ob
tained under the present sys
tem of preparation outside the
classroom. There would be no
lecture or recitations, but the
instructor would be on hand all
the time to answer questions and
confer with the students indi
