initiation will be held with thirty
three students eligible to be taken in

The Registrar reports that the

are unusually high. Two men have
made all A's, and several have main-
' tained an average of over ninety-five.
This ceremony, celebrating the one
hundred and fifty-fir.st anniversary
of the biggest and probably the most
.well known fraternity in America,
will begin at eight-thirty. Dr. W. W.
Pierson, of the History Department,
is to be the speaker for the occasion,
and his subject willbe "Opportunity
for the Advancement of Scholarship
to the South." After, this address the
neophytes will be "put through." !
Annual Awards Night
Date Has Been Set
For Monday, May 23
Awards Night will be held in
Memorial Hall at eight-thirty
o'clock Monday night, May 23.
Awards Night is one of the old
est. of Carolina traditions,, and al
ways closely follows the last base
hall game of the season. On this
night all the awards for campus
activities and service on the
teams are given. Carolina men
who have won laurels on, - the
field and on the courts will re
ceive their coveted letters and
monograms. .''
The scholar and the student al
so stand in the limelight with the

their merit At the same time
the monograms are given, medals,
trophies, and prizes are awarded
to the debaters' and other schol
ars who have won in their
chosen fields.

TWO GAMES FOR
HILL THIS WEEK
State Baseball Championship in
Balance; Meet Wake For
est, Duke and, State.
The state baseball -championship
hangs in' the balance this - week as
Carolina goes up against Wake For i
est, Duke, and State in the three
contests that will probably settle the
1927 diamond supremacy of North
Carolina's "Big Five."
Two of the games will be played on
the "Hill," the Wake Forest Deacons
putting in an appearance this after
noon and Duke's Blue Devils on
Thursday. The third engagement of
the week, with State, is scheduled to
be played in Raleigh Saturday after
noon. "
Coach Ashmore's Tar Heels hold the
lead- in the race, they having lost but
one game while Duke, their nearest
rival, has lost two. The teams are
on the home stretch now, and the race
should be exceptionally spirited.
The Tar Heel mentor will point
most to a victory this afternoon, as
a win over Duke will all but sew up
the championship. A loss would tie
the two teams up for the lead, with
the remaining games of the week's
calendar to settle the .victor. ,
Coach Ashmore is undecided as to
his pitching selection. "Red" Ellison
and "Lefty" Westmoreland, main
stays of the mound corps, both work
ed in Saturday's batting orgy with
the Cavaliers; but are both rested up
and back in shape. Either of the
two may get the call.
The batting order" which Carolina
used in the Greensboro game with
Virginia held more punch in it than
any other combination that has been
discovered this year, and Coach Ash
more will probably stick to it in the
remaining games of the 1927 schedule.

With a Total of 79 1-3 j

DUKE MAN HIGH SCORER
State College and Duke Come
Second and Third; Barkley
and Fort Lead in Carolina
Scoring, Winning Two ., First
Places Each. -
After getting off to a slow start the
University of North Carolina fresh
men forged ahead in the last few
events to capture the annual state
freshmen track and field meet held
Saturday afternoon on Emerson field.
The Tar Babies garnered a total of
79 1-3 points; State College yearlings
came second with 66 2-3 points, while
Duke trailed a close third with 64
points. ' "'" ;
Gusts of wind that whipped across
Emerson field retarded the dash men
to some extent and hence the medio
cre time turned in from these events.
However, the breeze did not seem to
affect Barkley, who made record time
of 2:00.4 on the half and 4:32 in the
mile. Several other outstanding
marks were turned in by Nims, Car
olina dash man who negotiated the
quarter inl 62.2, Fort, another Tar
Heel, who jumped 21 feet 4 7-8 inches,
and 'Patterson of State, who heaved
the discus 119 feet, 11 inches and the
shot 29 feet 4 in.
Buie, Blue Imp contestant, carried
off the individual scoring honors of
the day with 17 points to his credit.
This enterprising trackman failed to
gain a single first but proved versa'
tile enough to gain several seconds and
thirds. Barkley and Fort, of Caro
lina, and Jordan and Patterson, Of
State, each won double firsts to tie
for second place in the individual
scoring with ten points each.
In the mile relay, Nims, Tar Heel
anchor man, bettered his mark made
for, the quarter earlier in the day
when he raced the 440 in 52 seconds
flat to come up from a big handicap

Grail Dance, Senior
Ball and Fraternity
Hops This Week-end
Four dances are scheduled to keep
the social pot boiling for this week
end. The spotlight in this brilliant
ensemble will be the last Grail dance
of the season which will be given in
the Gym Saturday evening. The Or
der of the Grail is making every effort
to close their spring dance program
with a bang, and the affair promises
to eclipse all former dances given by
this organization. The Buccaneers
have been engaged to play for the
hop. ,
The initial work-outs of he week
end will take place simultaneously in
Durham and Chapel Hill Friday
night. The Senior Ball in Bynum
Gymnasium, with Kike Kyser and his
Orchestra furnishing the music, will
be the attraction on the Hill,, while
the Delta Sigma Phis are to afford a
gathering place for the social butter
flies at the Washington Duke HoteL
"Jelly" Leftwich and his Orchestra
will be on deck for the Durham affair.
The Carolina chapter of Alpha
Kappa Psi, a commerce fraternity,
will be hosts at a ball at the Carolina
Inn on the same eve of the Grail hop.
Kike Kyser and his Orchestra will
preside at this shag, and the week:
end social chapter is expected to be
creditably filled.
The Ruling Janus will prosecute
himself! That is the information that
was given to the Tar Heel reporter
when he interviewed Ruling Janus
Carroll pf the Dinamite Senate and
regenade Dialectic Senator.
The Ruling Janus of the newest or
der on the campus talked long and
confidentially with the reporter yes
terday morning. He said that he was
going to prosecute himself because he
knew that a man of his honest ap
pearance would never ,be expelled
from the Di if the matter were left
to the talents of Taylor Bldsoe and
Lee Kennett. He also said that his
friends would defend him. The Janus
does not wish it but when the news
that the Di senator would prosecute
himself was made known, hosts of
friends came to him and pled with him
to give up the idea. Carroll insisted
on his point of view and then the
friends, decided to defend him. The
movement for impeachment of Car
roll evolved from an editorial of his
in which he dared to criticise the
financial policy1 of the Di senate.
It has been learned that Windy
Crew, R. K. Fowler, Tom Quickel, and
Frazier Glenn have announced them
selves ready to defend Carroll in the
Di-Carroll impeachment case. ' The
object of the Di Senate's wrath told
the reporter "I'm not sure what I will
do. I'm all cut up about the whole
affair." Carroll seems to be in a' dil
emma and several times during the in
terview, he lapsed into a perceptible
state of lethargy, mumbling to him
self and ignoring the reporter, com
pletely. '

The Southern Conference tennis
tournament came to a close here Sat
urday afternoon when Malon Courts,
University of Georgia star, won the
singles crown from Tom Slade, the
former titleholder. In the mean
while, Berry Grant and Earnest Merry
of Georgia Tech, were retaining their
doubles crown by beating Slade and
Yenawine, their challengers from
Florida, in a hard five set match. .
The victory of Courts in the singles
Was to be expected, especially after
the downfall of Grant in the singles
and the hard sledding which Slade
had encountered in gaining his finals
bracket. He had been displaying an
unusually fine brand of tennis, win
ning all of his matches throughout
the entire tournament without the
loss of a set. On the other hand
Slade had been having a hard time
in disposing of his preliminary op
ponents. When these two experts
met, the result was very decisive,
Courts winning to the tune of 6-4,
6-3, 6-4.

The largest crowd ever to wit
ness a baseball game in the state
saw Coach Ashmore's Tar Heels
administer a 11-10 defeat to the
Virginia Cavaliers in the annual
Greensboro battle between the
two rival teams Saturday. The
Tar Heel victory gave Carolina
the 1927 series by two games to
one. - .
Over 9,000 fans crowded the big
new Memorial Stadium to see the
game which has come to be one of
Dixie's outstanding annual sport
classics. Long before the hour for
play arrived, the throngs were mass
ed hundreds deep at the stadium gates,
and other hundreds were pouring
through them in a continuous stream.
A special delegation of over two
thousand girls from Greensboro Col
lege for Girls and N. C. C. W., dress
ed in Carolina colors, attended the
game and lent color to the occasion.
The girls, assisted by the Cheerios
and the University band, furnished
pep for the occasion and Coach Ash
more's Tar Heels did the rest.
Tar Heels Take-Lead
Two hours and fifty eight minutes
of all that was good and some that
was bad in baseball was the result of
the encounter. It was one of those
good old slugging duels with one side
scoring five runs one inning only to
have the other go it one better a few
(frames later and with' the result in
doubt until the last out was made.
Carolina hopped off to an early lead
in the first and supposedly put the
game on ice when five hits and an
error gave the Tar neels five runs.
Two Virginia hurlers were knocked
out and Coach "Greasy". Neale, foxy
Cavalier mentor, finally had to use
Stevens, who had set the Tar Heels
back on Friday.
Ellison grounded out for. the final
out and the Tar Heels took the field.
From the very first "Red" was in
trouble. In each of the first two
innings the sacks were loaded, but he
managed to tighten down and with
good infield support kept the Virgin
ians from scoring.
In the third they broke loose, how
ever, ana scored a single run on
singles by Bowen and Cardvell and
Randolph's fielder's choice. Two more
in the fourth on Friedburg's long
homer into center and April's double
followed by Bowen's single made
things look pretty bad for the home
team.

Tar
Heel Riflers
Take Fourth Place
Last Saturday, at Camp Meade,
Maryland, the Carolina Rifle Team
won fourth place in the inter-collegiate
rifle meet.
George Washington University won
first place, Syracuse University took
second, City College Number 1, of
New .York City, was third; the Uni
versity of North Carolina placed next,
and was followed up by City College
Number 2. Twenty-seven of the
leading colleges were listed for the
meet. The individual high score was
taken by one of the Syracuse riflemen,
and this score was followed up closely
by two of the George Washington
men.
B. S. Colburn was captain of the
team which represented Carolina. The
other members of the team were Hay
wood Parker, Jr., Martin Kelly, G.
H. Holmes,. Clarence Pemberton and
J. M. Reece.
According to members of the team.
an easy second place and a possible
first could have been won if they had
been properly equipped. , The com
peting teams had far superior range
equipment and-skilled coaching. In
spite of their handicaps, however, the
Rifle Club is looking forward to send
ing a better team to the meet at
Camp Perry this summer.
