The two clubs were in fine form and ex hibited an interesting brand of ball. The Tar Babies leaned against Header's offering for five hits. Hamlet,! Carolina moundsman, held the little Deacons hitless except in the seventh and eighth when Whickers poled out a triple and Dorsett, a single. , None of , the batters of either team got more than a single hit. In the fielding department Briles and Sinclair, Tar Heel out fielders, handled several long drives that looked good, for one or more bases. Jackson, Caro lina second sacker, took care of seven chances without a bobble. The Tar Babies' single run came in the opening stanza. Mc Manaway smacked a single to left field and on Bunch's sacri fice advanced to second.

Indeed, he was referred to three men before he was able to pene trate the barriers that surround Don Corneille, who was heavily hooded and who spoke in an un recognizable monotone through out the interview. It would surprise many peo ple to know that there exists at the University an organization of rather liberal minded students which has become known as a Philosophical Fraternity, despite the fact that none of its mem bers have! ever studied text-book philosophy. The club, though three years old, has only recent ly made any attempt at formal organization, and . at present time bears the name "Theta Al pha Chi Philosophical Order," and counts among its members some of the best known men on the campus. The purpose of the organiza tion has been grossly miscon strued, and as a result much un called for and widespread pub licity has been given its mem bers by some of the state papers. This misinterpretation of the club's intent has led to a great deal of secrecy in regard to af fairs relative to its beliefs. This secrecy, however, was forced upon the men by circum stances, and is certainly not one of the purposes of their organi zation. In fact, the purpose seems merely to be the forma tion of a club of men, cosmopol itan in interests, more with an eye for the' intellectual than the social. The club has accumulat ed a large, varied library, and all night discussions are com mon. The broadest possible, at titude is maintained, and as the group has beenparticularly for tunate in having some of the more tolerant faculty members lead the discussions from time to time, some very fascinating and valuable material has been arranged. , V : Polyglots of Belles Lettres Most of the members are up perclassmen or graduate stu dents, v Five are students of Phi Beta Kappa standing, two are native Cubans, and the rest are mSa of more or less ability as polyglots or students of litera ture. About half of the two thousand volumes in the club's library are in foreign lan guages. The very nature of the organi zation, and the misunderstand ing made so public by the state press at the outset has made the group assume a quiet if not a minor role so far as campus rep utation is concerned,' but a few months ago desirable quarters were secured, and at present lively and interesting discus sions are flourishing. -In order that no further misunderstand ing will result the members' names are withheld for the time being, and the organization shall continue to be known as Theta Alpha Chi Philosophical Order, WESTMORELAND HURLS FINE BALL AS TAR HEELS WIN Star Carolina Southpaw Holds Deacons to Three Hits in , Shutout Victory.

CARROLL CHOSEN VICE-PRESIDENT Associate Editor of Tar Heel Is Elected Official of Collegi ate Press Association. The spring session of the North Carolina Collegiate Press Association was held at Greens boro last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the delegates being guests of North Carolina College for Women and Greensboro Col lege for Women. Over seventy five delegates were present. Many important questions were discussed. At the end of the meeting officers for the coming year were elected, Jerry Hester, editor of the Duke Chronicle, being elected president to suc ceed Byron Haworth, former editor of the Guilfordian. Dave Carroll, of the University of North Carolina was elected first vice-president. Immediately preceding the election of officers the following awards were made: the Winston-Salem Journal cup for the best balanced college newspaper to the Duke Chronicle,the Da vidsonian, second place, the Car olinian, third place. ) The Tar Heel also received considera tion. The Christian and King Printing Company, of Durham, offered a cup for the best edited college magazine of the year, but due to a previous ruling maga zines having published outside material were ineligible, which eliminated the Carolina Maga zine and the Duke Archive. .The cup was won by the Corraddi of N.C.C.W. At the close of the meeting it was decided that the Association (Continued on page two) THETA PHI GIVES WEEK-END PARTY Picnic Supper, Dance, and House Party Give Members Busy Time. The Theta Phi fraternity contribut ed greatly to the success of last week end's social whirl. . Outstanding events during the three days and nights of ceaseless enjoyment were their house party, their picnic supper, and their dance. A crowd of attractive girls began arriving on the Hill Saturday morn ing, and when the assembly was com plete, the Theta Phis took their guests to Sparrow's pool, where a delicious picnic supper was served late that afternoon. " After this initial entertainment, the company moved on to the Theta Phi house, where Graham's orchestra was awaitimr them. The musicians start ed their irresistible fox trots and waltzes about 8:30 and the evening's revelry was not long in getting under way. The fraternity housewas attrac tively decorated and the dancers re sDonded enthusiastically to the roman- ticv atmosphere, until the stroke of mid-night put an end to a most en joyable occasion. i The girls attending the party were: Miss Nannie Evans, Greenville, N. C., with W. B. Baxter; Miss Clara Sharp, Burlington, with W. C. Burnett; Miss Josephine Hill. Burlington, with R. M. Farmer; Miss Mattie Evans, Green ville, N.'C, with W. N. Michal; Miss Catherine Mills, Charlotte, with J. D. McConnell; Miss Noreeii Quern, Char lotte, with D. M. Holshouser; Miss Katherine Story, Dallas, Texas, with C. M.

Ray, Jr. VELffi PRESENTS VARIED PROGRAM Organ Recital Sunday Includes Numbers Varying from Ex cellent to Mediocre. (Jo Midgkel) Showing a decided lack of knowledge in the arrangement of a program, C. James Velie, of Elon College, in recital at the Chapel of the ( CrosS Sunday night, presented eight numbers, varying in rendition from excel lent to the very mediocre. This recital was number twenty-six of a series of programs being given under the direction of the Episcopal church. .The compositions were as fol lows: Prayer, Palestrina; La ment, Couperin ; Traumerei, Hu bay; Nocturne, Greig; The Nightingale and the Rose, St. Saens; In Springtime, Kinder; Eventide, Fairclough; and Rog er's Minature Suite. The program was begun with the ecclesiastical composition of Palestrina's, which was well played, giving promise of an en joyable program, but the latter part of Couperin's Lament was blundered through, and the next number, Hubay's Traumerei, was decidedly disappointing. The Greig Nocturne was the best played number of the pro gram, and Roger's suite, the last number, was excellently carried out through the prelude and in termezzo, but the organist fal tered very noticeably through the last section, toccatina, show ing an easily recognizable lack of control over this composition. The Sigma Phi Sigmas gave their annual ball at the Carolina Inn Sat urday evening from nine till twelve. The affair proved to be an unques tionable success, for the hosts did everything in their power to make the occasion a most enjoyable one. A charming delegation of girls flocked to the Inn shortly after nine o'clock, and the dance, which will be remembered for a long time by all those present, soon got underway. The ball-room was decorated with yellow and green streamers, and a beautiful Japanese lantern formed the center-piece of the sky-like dome of brilliant colors. A romantic touch was afforded by softly glowing spot lights, which darted over, the floor while the Buccaneers played dreamy waltzes. - Perfumettes were presented to the girls by the members of Simga Phi Sigma, and they were declared to be attractive and most acceptable favors. The figure was led by Mr. Kermit Perkins with Miss Francis Pearsons, assisted by Mr. Olen Lyon with Miss Ellen Cummings. Miss 4 Rockwell, head of the Bureau of Community Drama, went to Greensboro Saturday to produce the pageant, Children of Old Carolina, enacted by the school children of the city. Miss Margaret Ellis went to Shelby to present the same pageant there. RECORDS SMASHED Currie of Davidson College Runs 100-Yard Dash in 9.6 Seconds. ' MEET WAS IN GREENSBORO Elliott, Pritchett, Pearson, Mc Pherson, and Daniels Star ' for Tar. Heels.

Duke was second with 49 1-2, State third with 38 1-2, Wake Forest 26 1-2, Davidson 14 1-2, Lenoir-Rhyne 14, Guilford 5 1-2 points.. Eleven records were broken and a twelfth set in the colorful meet. Daniels High Scorer The most notable event of the day was the 100-yard dash which John Currie of Davidson ran in 9.6 seconds, coming within one-tenth of a second of the world's record and bettering any record ever made for the dis tance in the South. Currie then set a sensational time of 21.8 seconds in the 220, which was 2-10 of 'a second better than any previous record. He also led his team to victory in the re lay race. . . Daniels of Wake Forest was high point man with first places in both the high and low hurdles and a rec ord first in the broad jump. Spur lock of Lenoir-Rhyne was second with a record in the shot-put, a first in the javelin, and a second in the broad jump. Elliott, after running the mile in the record time of 4 minutes and 26.6 seconds, was second only by an inch to Woodward of Duke who set a new state record in tne ssu yard dash witn , a time of 2 minutes flat. , .

Hoyt Pritchett easily defeated Tuttle of Duke in the two-mile and set a new state record of 9 minutes, 57 seconds. Brantley of Duke was the best, pole vaulter and appears' capable of break ing his own record of 12 feet 2 in ches. ' (Continued on page four) CAROLINA FAVORED TO WIN OVER CAVALIERS IN HISTORIC SERIES o . Clashes This Week-end Will Continue Diamond Rivalry That Ha3 Existed Thirty-Five Years; Virginia Has Won Forty-three, Carolina Thirty-two. . , . ' o Holder Manages This Issue of the Tar Heel Glenn P. Holder, of Greensboro, is the manag ing editor of this issue in the absence of Tom John son regular, managing edi tor of the Tuesday issue of the Tar Heel who" is ' on tour with thevPlaymakers. Joe Bobbitt will manage next Tuesday's issue. The baseball teams of the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia clash twice this week-end on Emerson Field Friday and in Greensboro Sat urday, renewing a diamond riv alry that was born in 1891. For more than thirty-five years their annual games have been the out standing features of the state intercollegiate season, and the annual Greensboro battle ranks in the very forefront of southern sport classics. The Tar Heels and Cavaliers have met seventy-six times over the thirty-five year span, with the Tar Heels winning thirty two games, the Cavaliers forty three. One game, the second of the 1919 series, was a tie. There have been games each year since the first one in 1891 except in 1892, 1898, 1899, and 1900. The 1899 games were rained out, while there were none scheduled in the other three seasons. Virginia Has Edge Of the thirty-two annual se ries of from one to three games each Carolina has won twelve, Virginia sixteen, and four have ended in ties. Eleven times the Virginia nine has made a clean sweep of the series while the Tar Heels can boast of but seven such triumphs. The Tar Heels' best year was 1922 when they literally swamp ed the Cavaliers, taking all three games by shutout scores. "Lefty" Wilson won the Greens boro classic, 6-0; Herman Bry son took the Charlottesville bat tle, 4-0; and Captain Manley Lewellyn threw them back on Emerson Field here, 7-0, in his final game in a Carolina uni form. Carolina Best Since '22 Since 1922 Carolina has won fourteen games while losing only five. This year they jumped into a one-game lead on the series by ' defeating Virginia at Charlottes ville, 10-7, in a ten inning affair. In that game Virginia knotted the count in a ninth inning rally, but the Tar Heels fell on the Cavalier hurlers in the tenth for three runs to sew up the game. It appears now that the Tar Heels have excellent chances of coming through with a series win this year, as they only have to win one of the games this week. Coach Ashmore will be gin to drive his men today in preparation for the two battles to round out all defects before Friday's opening tilt.
