'.. BASEBALL . CAROLINA vs. VIRGINIA FRIDAY 4 P. M. SOUTHERN CONFERENCE TENNIS TOURNAMENT STARTS FRIDAY 9: A. M. VOLUME XXXV. CHAPEL HILL, N. C THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1927 NUMBER 82 CONFERENCE NET TOURNEY OPENS HERE ON FRIDAY Southern Tennis Championships To Be Decided Here for Sec ond Time in Three Years. SLADE IS FAVORITE AGAIN Floridian Who Won Last Year Doped to Repeat; Berry Grant of Georgia Tech and Others Should Press Him. Managership Elections The Southern Conference ten nis tournament will start here tomorrow - morning at nine o'clock. While only about seven teams entered in the tourna ment, the players participating represent some of the best ten nis talent in the South. Slade of Florida, who won the tourna- ment last year is one of the most potent players entered, al though he will undoubtedly en counter some very serious op- nosition from the players of Georgia and Georgia Tech. Berry Grant, the Tech star, is one of the ranking players in the South while either Courts or Boland of Georgia may hit a super streak and upset the dope. In fact, Slade will encounter quite a bit of opposition from his A-ltrtA Kuiniiaa Ttl rr a Vina other men entered who has been pushing Slade to the limit all year. Carolina has practically no chance at all to even enter the semi-finals, due to their lack of individual -stars, although they present a very puissant team in match play as was evinced on their recent Northern trip when they won all of their matches without serious difficulty. How ever, any 'of the first three rank ing men might spring a surprise and go far, and Charlie Waddell especially may do well. His ex perience on the Varsity so far this spring has stood him in good stead, and he has improved greatly in the short time that he has been representing Carolina. The tournament which was held here two years ago saw some very hectic struggles, when Berry Grant, a Sophomore then, came to the finals after some very hard struggles against the veterans of other colleges only to be defeated in the finals by Murray of Tulane who now is one of the best players in the South. Malon Courts, who used to be one of the leading' juniors in this part of the country un til he passed above the group due to age, is also capable of good tennis. The elections for sub-assistant managers of all varsity sports except football were held yesterday with the following result: Basketball: A. T. Allen, li. Bur- tis Aycock, "Red" Green, Loy D, Ihompson; Albert Whisnant. and Clarence Pemberton. 7. ' Track: J.J.Alexander, Cheatham Coley, R. C. Merrett, Pat Patterson, Craig Shelton, and Allen C. Boren Baseball: George Bradham, Guy Hill, J. L. Harris, Bill Hooks, Rich ard Winborne, and Walter Laxson. Wrestling: . C. L. Smith and Nat Lufty. Boxing: John Graham, Bobby Laughlin, R. C.

IMPEACHMENT OF DAVE CARROLL TAKEN UP BY DI Charges Preferred by Taylor Bledsoe and Lee Kennett as Result of Recent Article in Tar Heel. The Carolina track team is on its way to enter the annual southern Conference meet at Baton Rouge, La., Friday and Saturday. The Tar Heels will make a bid for their second con secutive Southern Championship although considerably handicap ped. The team left here yester day afternoon at 4 o'clock and will arrive in Baton Rouge early Friday morning only a few hours before the preliminaries begin. ' In dual meets the Carolina cinder path men would undoubt edly defeat every team in the conference, but in this meet they will have to cope with the stars of the other teams. Other seri ous handicaps are the long dis tance, the change in climate and the fact that Coach Bob Fetzer was unable to enter but eight of his best men in the meet. The question is whether Caro lina's main strength, which lies in the distance events with El liott, Pritchett, and Rhinehart, will be seriously affected by the climatic conditions. The men entering the meet i y-1 "irTVI are : uaptain uus mcrnerson in the 100 and 220-yard dashes ; Elliott, 880-yard dash and mile run; Pritchett, two-mile run; Rhinehart, 440 and 880-yard dashes; Pearson, 120 high hurd les and the 220 low hurdles; Giersch, broad jump and 220 low hurdles; Sandlin, 220 low hurd les, the javelin, and the broad jump; and Harper, discus and javelin. The other schools that will probably enter teams in the meet are: Louisiana State Uni versity, Mississippi University, Mississippi A. and M., Tulane, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Sewanee, Clemson, and Ala bama.

Yesterday afternoon on Emer son field the Oak Ridge baseball team hammered the offering of three Tar Baby hurlers to gather in the large end of a 9 to 6 score. While the cadet moundsman allowed the Tar Heels only six scattered hits the visitors were collecting nine blows off the trio that faced them. However five of these were gained off Bullard in the first three innings. Cap tain Maus of the Carolinians lead the hitting of the day with two bingles and a triple out of as many trips to the plate.

COLLEGIANS TOO LISTLESS, SAYS SOPER IN CHAPEL Dean of Duke School of Religion Speaks as One of Series on Choosing a Vocation. Carolina-Virginia Ball Teams Clash Friday In Annual Series Captain Hatley "Often the four years of col lege are looked upon as a happy period between high school and work," Dr. E. D. Soper, Dean of the School of Religion of Duke University, declared in Chapel yesterday morning. "Most col lege men are happy, as they should be, but what I blame them for is a kind of listlessness that characterizes them. In the midst of all the things that a person like it is possible to take life seriously." Dr. Soper 's subject was "Se lecting a Life Work." It was the third of. a series of talks on that subject that is being de livered in Chapel this week. The series win De concluded tomor row with an address by Robert House, Executive Secretary of the University. There are two questions that every student has to face when he comes face to face with grad uation, according to Dr. Soper, They are "What shall I do when I receive my diploma?", and "What shall I do for a life work?" These two questions resolve themselves into one for the man who is going into a profession. , , "Most of us arrive at im portant decisions without; realiz ing it. It is not so much a ques tion of when a man decides, as of how he decides," Dr. Soper said. "In many cases, as of the man who is going into a pro fession, the question is already decided. , But you would be ut- (Continued on page three) Carroll Gives Birth To Another Brain Child -Dinamite Senate Campus's Four Hundred and Fourth (or Is It Fifth?) Organiza tion to Combine in One Group the Best Features of the Other 403 (404?); Nineteen Men Are Wearing the Pink and Blue of the Dinamite Senate. o : (By the Beachcomber) Today marks an outstanding date in the life of the South's Greatest University. A new or ganization has been formed and is making its initial bow to the campus. This' organization is the Dinamite Senate an as semblage of earnest future citi zens who are seeking better things. It proposes to stand for free speech, free thought, -free press, free air and, eloquence. As Dave Carroll,, founder and Ruling Janus of the Senate re marked to this admiring report er, "we believe in freedom."' Although the society has been definitely formed only a few days, plans for its formation have been avidly discussed for months. Dave Carroll, who has a perfect gift for realizing the futility of things, long ago dis covered that most Carolina or ganizations were superfluous and damnable. He believed that the situation could be remedied by the establishment of a single organization embodying the best qualities of those already here and carrying out functions in which the others lamentably failed. He broached the matter to a group, of friends who re ceived it favorably and advocat ed action. After consultations with Dr. Bagby, Francis Brad shaw and the Dean of Women they drew up their ultimate plans. Mr. Carroll was mainly famil iar with the Di Senate and the Golden Fleece, and found fault with the workings of both. The Di wasn't serious enough, while the Fleece wasn't funny enough. Moreover, they didn't have suf ficiently definite aims. So he and his cohorts determined that their group should be seriously funny and have aims even more definite than those of the Rifle Club. He mentioned to this re porter some sections from their all-embracing platform : shorter hours for professors, the sanctity of the home, non paddling initiations, more in structive Picks, the Stars and Stripes forever, fewer speeches on Nicaragua, cerebral suprem acy and the protection of the co eds on the campus. The Dinamite Senate has se lected for its colors charming pastel shades of pink and blue. They are supposed to typify the organization's predilection for sweetness and light. There will be no fees, dues or assessments for the unfortunate University authorities to collect. So far the Ruling Janus is the only official selected, but more -will soon be chosen ; Mr. Carroll thinks it would be nice if every man in the crowd had an office of some sort. The original membership is small. However, worthy men will be noted and taken in at Continued on page four) zr -vzi&f : Z - - I v Stellar Tar Heel outfielder, who will lead a team doped to break the two year baseball supremacy of Virginia. STATE MEET FOR FROSH SATURDAY Tar Babies Doped to Win Cham pionship Track Event for Freshman Teams With the Virginia - Carolina classic in Greensboro and the Southern Conference track meet in Baton Rouge, it is to be ex pected that not many students will remain on the hill for the week-end. However, those who do will be supplied with ample entertainment as the state track meet for Freshman teams is to be held Saturday, May 14, on Emerson Field. The Carolina coaches have in vited all the colleges in the state to enter teams but as the en trance sheets are not due until Thursday it is not yet known what schools will accept. Invi tations have been issued to the members of the big five and lit tle five. It is expected that Duke, State, Wake Forest, Davidson, Elon and Guilford will enter. Catawba, Atlantic Christian Col ege and High Point College have also been asked but it is doubt ful whether or not they will ac cept. The Tar Babies have a good chance of capturing this meet but stiff opposition is to be ex pected from Duke and State. It is also highly probable that some "dark horse" may be pro duced by some of the other schools and take places that were practically conceded to some other team. Second Game of Historic Series To Be Played Tomorrow Fol lowed by Game in Greensboro Saturday; Carolina Took First Game of This Year's Series. DAVIDSON WINS IN FRESHMAN DEBATE Blankenship and Cohen Lose on Ques tion of War Debts. Davidson won a 3 to 0 over Carolina in Gerrard Hall Tues day night in the annual fresh man inter-collegiate debate. The queryi "Resolved: That the United States should cancel all inter-allied war debts, was up held by M. J. Blankenship and J. J. Cohen of Carolina on the affirmative, and R. M. Christian and A. T. Edelman from David son on the negative. A diamond rivalry of thirty five years standing will be re vived Friday afternoon when Virginia and Carolina clash on Emerson Field here in the sec ond of the annual three-game series between the two teams. The third game, the annual Greensboro classic, will follow on Saturday in the new Mem orial Stadium. Coach Ashmore's Tar Heels jumped into the lead in the se ries this year when they defeat ed the Cavaliers, 10-7, in Char lottesville in a game that went ten innings. That means that they will have to take but one of the two remaining battles to win the series, and with Ellison and Westmoreland both in tip top shape, Carolina hopes are running high. "Red" will probably get the call here Friday with "Lefty" to work the Greensboro game. 3oach Ashmore has been keeping his men hard at it all week in preparation for the two big bat tles, and it is likely that the Tar Heel team which takes the field here Friday will show a decided improvement over the team that lost two games to Tech last week. Meanwhile, the student body is laying big plans for the an nual pilgrimage to Greensboro Saturday to attend the big game; Kike Kyser's Cheerios have been called back into service and will be in all their glory, flanked on both sides by delegations of smiling co-eds from N. C. C. W. and Greensboro College, all "hollerin' for ole Car'Iina." Tar Heel cheerleaders have been in Greensboro practically all week teaching the girls the special Carolina yells and songs, and the cheerleaders of the three institutions will all work togeth er Saturday, all with the same , purpose "Down with Virginia." In addition the University band will be "there in full force to liven up the occasion with its lilting tunes. The game itself, the oldest sports classic in southern inter collegiate athletics, has always been marked for its color, but the 1927 clash bids fair to set new marks. On to Greensboro ! Down with Virginia ! YELLOW JOURNAL EXPECTED FRIDAY Day of Reckoning Approaches For Eds and Co-eds Who Have Strayed from the Narrow Path. Saffron Sheet Due to Wreck Reputations. ' Culprits Agog. There is a rumor prevalent on the campus that tomorrow will see the advent of the long-look-ed-for Yellow Journal, that "in dependent journal of expression and criticism published annually by the Odd Number Chapter of Sigma Upsilon. Each year the Journal makes its appearance at one of the big baseball games toward the end of the spring quarter, being sold by the initiates of Sigma Upsi lon, and this year may prove no exception. As usual, it will probably contain the names of prominent men about the cam- (Continued on page three)
