Coach Ashmore Optimistic as
Many Prospects Turn Out
for Work.
As the baseball squad swings into
regular practice this week, the great
est probleja facing Coach Jim Ash
more seems to be that of finding a ca
pable catcher. There are seven let
termen. from last year and a number
of promising youngsters already re
ported, and three other lettermen now
in the University may be in togs
later.
With two pitchers, three infielders,
and, two outfielders among the vet
erans back, Coach Ashmore now needs
a third baseman, a catcher and a cen
terfielder. Captain Joe Westmore
land and "Red" Ellison, a southpaw
and rightside flinger, respectively,
will form the nucleus for the pitch
ing staff. Tom Young, Ed Burt and
Henry Satterf ield will take care of
the infield at first and second base
and shortstop. Tom Coxe and Ed
Mackie , are the gardeners back for
work tbi3 spring.
The three, letter players of other
years who have yet to turn out this
year are Bill Dodderer, Doug Webb,
and Qdell Sapp. Dodderer is a first
baseman and outfielder, Webb is a
third baseman, and Sapp is a right
hand' pitcher. All were members of
the regular team in 1926.
i Among the youngsters on whom
Coach Ashmore is depending to make
varsity grade this year are Jimmie
llaus, heady catcher who captained
last year's freshman nine; Nap Lufty
and Jim Magner, third baseman; and
"Pap". Harden, Norwood Carroll, and
Steve Furches, outfielders.
HAL KEMP AND
HIS ORCHESTRA
fflT fflGH SPOTS
Former Carolina Men Receive
Praise f roia Many Renowned
Musicians.
Hal Kemp and His Orchestra, for
merly of the University of North
Carolina, are nearing the top of the
ladder in the orchestra world.
They are now filling an indefinite
engagement in the Moorish Grill Room
of the Manger Hotel, one of New
York's newest and finest. This job
is probably one" of the three best of
its type in New York City and one
that only a highly competent orches
tra can hold.
It i3 learned that these boys have
greatly increased the business of the
Grill Boom and they have won the
favor of not only the patrons, the
management, the Music Publishers,
broadcasting and recording officials,
but, also of the leading orchestras
in the city. They are being visited
frequently by the renowned directors
and musicians including Fred Waring,
George Olsen, Paul Whiteman, Don
Voorhes, and others.
These boys ' two years ago were
students . here. Now, through musical
ability, pluck, personality, and per
severance, they have fought their way
to the "big show," being the youngest
and most popular band on Broadway.
Hal Kemp and His Hotel Manger
Orchestra broadcast Mondays and
Tuesdays from station WEAF from
six until seven p. m., and from sta
tion WJZ Wednesdays from 11:30 to
12 p. m. They are also favorites at
the Brunswick recording laboratories.
They have already released three
records and have recorded more in
cluding "Mary Anne," "Who's Blue
Now," and "If I, Can't Have. You."
These', will be released soon and the
orchestra is soon to record "Col
legians," "Great, Great, Girl," and
best of all, "I Don't Care," written
by Saxie Dowell, a . main-stay in the
Kemp orchestra. "I Don't Care" is a
great tune and it is already going big
in New York. It has been populariz
ed throughout the south by Kay Kyser
and His Orchestra.
The success of the Hal 'Kemp or
chestra is due to the stellar work of
the entire orchestra and the excellent
work Alex Holden has done as man
ager of the organization. The Uni
versity of North Carolina is truly
proud of what they are doing.
Piano Pupil Wins Prize
Rena Henry, daughter of G. K. G,
Henry, has won a prize offered for
memory work in piano music. , Dur
ing the month of February she mem
orized 52 lines. She is a pupil of
Mrs. J. M. Williams.
ft
The Carolina Buccaneers, under the direction of Mickey Block of Greensboro, is one of Carolina's
most outstanding dance orchestras. The organization, assembled last year, has made itself extremely
popular with dancing collegians by virtue of its maintenance of good music. The Buccaneers , have
played for Grail dances, private affairs, fraternity hops and many public dances over the state, the
last two being a Grail shag and tha Engineer's ball.
Ruffin Dorm Bridge
Tournament Will
Close Saturday Night
. V
The bridge tournament which com
menced in Ruffin dormitory Monday
will be brought to a close Saturday
night, and the winners will receive
weekly passes to the Carolina The
atre through the courtesy of E. C.
Smith, manager of the show, an
nounced E. J. Zagora, secretary of
the dormitory yesterday afternoon.
, This tournament, is being conduct
ed with the purpose of encouraging
more intimate relations between the
members of the building and to aid
in promoting a social atmosphere. It
is probable that a number of the oth
er dormitories on the campus will
adopt a like method in order to aid
the residents to become acquainted
with each other,
Beverly Moore Elected
Editor of "Ex-Hi-Y"
Beverly Moore of Greensboro was
elected editor of the X-Hi-Y, news
sheet published by the Freshman
Friendship Council each year and sent
to the members of. the Hi-Y clubs
throughout the state, at the meeting
of the Council Tuesday night. Paul
Wimbish, also of Greensboro, was se
lected business manager of the pub
lication. The paper contains data and infor
mation concerning college education.
The senior members of every Hi-Y
organization in North Carolina receive
copies of the sheet. Plans have been
made for three issues to appear next
quarter, the same number being pub
lished last year. The aim of the sheet
is to set forth the advantages of a
college education, its approximate
cost, and entrance requirements. Con
trary to being an advertisement for
the University its purpose ' is , to act
as an incentive and to encourage high
school students to further their edu
cation.
Loan Fund Helps '
Many Needy Students
For the first time in five years a
waiting list has been made of stu
dents desiring to borrow money.' A
total of $38,000 has been loaned thus
far this year. If more is to be loaned,
payments on loans already made must
be returned to Dean Bradshaw's of
fice. The trustees of the University
are making an effort to get more
money so as to enlarge the scope of
the loan fund.
The amount of the loan fund used
by students has more than trebled in
five, years. At the same time the
student body has nearly doubled.
More students are staying in college
after finishing four years' work, in
order to take M.A. or law or medi
cal work, thus increasing the demand
for extra funds.
A CORRECTION
The issue of the Tar Heel Satur
day, March 3, carried the statement
that there -would be a joint concert
of the University Orchestra and Nel
son O. Kennedy, pianist, in Memorial
Hall Sunday. The Tar Heel wishes

SONG AND DANCE
PROGRAM TO BE
GIVMTONIGHT
Will Be Given in Playmaker
Theatre Instead of Mem
orial Hall.
Because of complicated lighting ef
fects necessary for its staging, the
program of Eastern European Music
and Folk Songs, previously announc
ed to be given in Memorial Hall, will
be presented in the Playmaker Thea
tre at eight-thirty tonight.
This entertainment of "Folk Songs
From Colorful Lands" promises to
be one of the most beautiful and un
usual theatrical events ever given
here. The program to be used . is
made up of folk songs and dances of
Russia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Rou
mania, and Hungary. There are also
a number of piano solos and duets
which illustrate the national charac
teristics of the music of the countries
represented. All of this material is
strictly true to type and is gathered
by several research trips into these
countries by Miss Cook.
A most interesting feature of the
entertainment is the costuming. The
entire program is presented in the
vivid, picturesque costumes which
Miss Cook collected while abroad and
imported to this country. The elab
orateness and beauty of these cos-1
tumes has been the source of great
est pleasure to all the audiences from
Florida to Maine who have seen the
performance.
The staging of the entertainment is
one of the most elaborate ever to be
used in this type of production. Miss
Cook carries her own settings and
lighting effects which tend to lend
atmosphere and charm to the music
and dances imported from the most
picturesque corners of Europe. No
efforts have been spared to make the
production one of harmony and col
orful beauty.
The identical program, which i3
being given here tonight, was pres
ented before a most appreciative au
dience in Asheville a few weeks ago.
The critics of that city were com
pletely won over " by the beauty,
charm, personality and work of Misses
Cook and Folliard. In a summary of
the Asheville performance, the critic
writes, "These two talented young
ladies brought to Asheville something
new a merit augmented by the fact
that in their performance they proved
not only entertaining but highly in
structive, as well, for only native tal
ent combined with earnest study and
intelligence can bring about such a
presentation."
The tickets for the Chapel Hill ap
pearance, given under the auspices of
Phi Mu Alpha Simfonia, are to be on
sale at the door. There will be no re
served seats, and the admission is one
dollar.
New Fireman Gives
Town Better Service
Since two new full time firemen
have been added to the fire fighting
equipment of Chapel Hill, no real
damage has been done by fire. The
new firemen, however, have been kept
busy answering calls to extinguish
trash cans, autos, brush piles, sage
fields, stumps, and what not.
For the last two weeks the fire
whistle has been blowing more of
ten, but when the crowd began to in
quire about the location of the fire
it found that someone had been burn
ing off for a garden.
One fact has been noticeable. The
fire engine now leaves the fire house
in less than half an hour after the
whistle blows. Another thing the
fire fighters have not had to send
back to the fire house for a wrench
to turn the water on, as was the case
on one occasion last year.
Insurance agencies will offer lower
rates to the local home owners now
that the town has better fire protec
tion. And probably the , Pickard
"lotel would be extinguished the first
rip with full time firemen on the
ob.
MED STUDENTS
APPLYING FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS
Many Pre-med and Medical Stu
dents Applying for Rhodes
Scholarships.
The number of pre-med ical and
medical students who are applying
for Rhodes Scholarships is increas
ing every year. Many more would be
candidates if they realized what a
great opportunity 13 offered to them.
The preparation for medicine which
can be obtained by three years' study
at the Medical School of Oxford Uni
versity and one or two years at an
American Medical School has many
advantages over four years at an
American medical school. An Ameri
can Rhodes scholar, on entering Ox
ford, can enroll' in the Honor School
of Physiology and obtain the B. A.
degree in Physiology at the end of
two years. This entitles him, with
out further examination, to the M. A.
degree. During this time he can com
plete the study of Anatomy, Physi
ology, Bio-Chemistry, Pharmacology,
Pathology, Bacteriology and Physical
Diagnosis, the subjects usually taught
in the first two years in an American
medical school. He can then be ad
mitted, if his record is satisfactory,
to the third year class of the medical
schools of Johns Hopkins, Harvard,
Duke and several other universities,
and obtain his M.D. degree in four
years from the time he entered Ox
ford. ,
It will, however, be wiser for the
student to remain at Oxford for a
third year so that he may avail him
self of the opportunity for independ
ent work in physiology, -pathology,
bio-chemistry, etc., and thus obtain the
B. Sc. degree at the end of this year.
This supplemental training is of in
estimable value in his future career
as a physician or surgeon. If, in ad
dition to this work, the student lias
profitably utilized his vacations, and
there are three of them each year
six weeks each at Christmas and Eas
ter and three months in the summer
by clinical work in London, Edin
burgh, Dublin or on the Continent, he
can be admitted to the fourth year
1 class at J ohns Hopkins or Duke Uni
versity and obtain his M. D. degree
in the same length of time as he would
have, had he not gone to Oxford.
FINAL WINTER
FOOTBALL GAME
THIS SATURDAY
Game To Be Played Under
Auspices of Monogram
Club.
The students at the University will
be able to get first information con
cerning next year's football prospects
Saturday afternoon for half' the price
of non students. The game which is
being played under the auspices of
the Monogram Club will be a finale of
the winter football practice. The
price of admission for students is
twenty-five cents while general admis
sion will be fifty cents.
For six weeks Coaches Collins, Cer
ney, and Fetzer have been drilling
members of the 1927 varsity squad
who are returning and youngsters
from Coach Belding's freshman squad
in the rudiments of football, while
several former varsity stars have had
individual teams with which to work.
At the end of the winter football
schedule last Saturday the coaches
divided the squad into two groups
the lettermen and the non-lettermen
, Both teams will have strong repre
sentatives in the contest Saturday.
The lettermen will have a complete
backfield with practically all of the
1927 line back in togs Saturday. The
youngsters have , several freshman
stars to add to the list of reserves.
Among the freshman backs are Nash,
Michael, House, and Wyrick. Added
to these are Maus, Magner, Erickson,
and Branch from the 1927 squad.
Spaulding, whose work in the back
field has featured the winter cham
pion's march to the title, has returned
to his home and will be unavailable
for the game. In the line the non
lettermen are Hudson and Black
wood, two guards who have starred
in the winter games. Dortch is an
other of the 1927 Frosh's luminaries
who has been doing good work dur
ing the winter practice.
