Tuesday, May 1, 1923 THE TAH HEEL Parre Three Carolina Relay Quartet Wins 4 Mile Race at Philadelphia Elliott, Pritchett, Barkley and Fisher Composed Team That Won at Penn Relays. Carolina won a place in the sun of national athletics when the Tar Heel relay team won the four mile relay championship of America in the Penn Relay Carnival held at Philadelphia, Saturday. This race wa3 one of the feature events of the Carnival. Carolina's brilliant quartet, com posed of Pritchett, Fisher, Barkley, and Elliott, flashed down the course in 19 minutes 4 2-5 seconds, leading Michgan State by 100 yards, with Penn State third, 200 yards behind. It was a wet day and the track was virtually quagmire. Considering the obstacles the Tar Heels overcame the race and time were sensational, although it was slower than the rec ord by many seconds. Pritchett took the lead at the start, placing his team ahead by 25 yards at the end of the first mile. Fisher increased -the lead to 75 yards, but then Offenhauser, Penn State, forced the Michgan State runner to a fast pace and Barkley was forced to drop the lead by 15 yards. Elliott took the baton about 60 yards ahead and jalthough Bill Cox, Penn State inter collegiate mile champion, forced the pace throughout, Elliott forged ahead and added 40 yards to the leead. This was a great race, and as a re ward for their great running the Tar Heels were given a silver loving cup, a bronze plaque, and individual gold watches. UNIQUE CONTEST WILL TAKE PLACE John Harmon Challenges John Purser to Bizarre Race on Emerson Field. A": Something new in the way of cross country runs, potatoe races, and cake races will take place in the near fu ture. At any rate, it appears that John Harmon, class president of 1923, has challenged John Purser, 1924 class president, to a bizarre race around the quarter mile track on Emerson field. John (No. 1) will mount a mule while John (No. 2) will maneuver a bicycle which shows that even Alumni have their idiosyn cracies. . Each entry will be backed by his class supporters lustily cheering him on to victory. The rules are simple the John on the mule must be- astride his mount throughout the race and must at all times be on the track; the bicycle John simply has to pedal his way around, and in case of a puncture well, that is left up to him. Viola tion of the rules' will result in dis qualification. As yet no prize has been offered, nevertheless both en tries are determined to win. It is understood that C. C. Pyle is in no way connected with the race. Frosh Nine To Play Va. Teams This Week The Tar Baby baseball team left last night for Virginia where they will meet several of the strongest of the Old Dominion's prep school nines during the next four days. The Frosh play Fork Union at Fork Union this afternoon. Tomorrow they meet Augusta Military Academy ' at - Fort Defiance, while Thursday the Frosh are scheduled to irneet the Uni versity of Virginia freshmen at Charlottesville. The trip closes with a game with Staunton Military Aca demy at Staunton. The Frosh return to North Carolina Saturday to play a game with Oak Ridge. The Cadets are the only team who have been able to stop the Tar Babies this season and the Frosh will be anxious to avenge this defeat Saturday. Whitener Wins First Gym Letter Since '26 A. G. Whitener won his monogram in the gymnasium try-outs held in Bynum Gymnasium last Tuesday. ' Whitener is the only man to get one of these letters since 1926, when Au brey Perkins, Olen Lyons, and C. W. Bynum were awarded them. Men trying out for these . letters must prove themselves proficient in the use of the mats, horizontal bars, parallel bars,' rings, and horse.. Try outs are held under the jurisdiction of Dr. R. B. Lawson and holders of the gym award. These men must show enough physical development and ability to instruct others. At present only two men in the uni versity, Guy Fulp and A. W. Gholson, show promise of attaining their let ters. Any man, irrespective of his class, is eligible to try out. As a his torical note, the gym team was the first organization in the university, to gtstrt playing basketball. LOOKING 'EM OVER With Wallace Shelton INTRAM URALLY Havoc Three scheduled varsity games and Jupe Pluvius certainly played havoc with the Intramural schedule for the past week. Tuesday was the only period in which those Intramurally inclined were given a chance to hold forth. Unless it rains, there is noth ing to break into the schedule this week for the first time since the sea son opened. So we are predicting a banner week for the one which open ed yesterday. More Moore Probably there is a great element of luck attributing when a pitcher hurls his first no-hit game. Be that as it may, when the same chunker comes back the following week and duplicates his performance there is something more than luck in the old soup-bone. The varsity schedule and the fury of the elements, themselves, failed to knock New Dorms and Man gum out of their scheduled encounter last Tuesday, and give " Wilcey"' Moore,. New Dorms' pitching ace) a chance to hurl his second no-hitter ofthe current season. Three succes sive infield errors- gave the Mangum crew opportunity to score a single marker and knock Moore out of a sec ond perfect contest. ' - However, the ) New Dorms sluggers came back to present "Wilcey" with a pair of tallies, to take the game 2 to 1. Old Habits Ed Hudgins and his Kappa Sigma cohorts are up to their old winning tricks, it seems. The winners of the basketball rag have chalked up three wins in the old "won" column and have as yet to taste defeat. Ed saw fit to take issue with us last week When we gently suggested that some team would have to whip a certain other team in the league to carry off the bacon, or ham. He informed- us that his boys won the championship a couple of years ago, were runners up last season, and had evil intentions this year. So we will add Kappa Sig ma to our list of "dangerous teams." The Race As yet the race in both leagues is as wide open as the hose connection was for the greater part of last week. There is no team with a commanding advantage. Any team in the race now could be knocked off its top most perch with ease. So if any of you managers who have seen fit to forfeit the early contests, now see fit to get out your squads and stick to it, there is yet as much chance" for you as ever, and we would like to have you out for your scheduled games in the future. The Standings Due to the multitude of varsity games and the abundance of rainfall, too few games have as yet been play ed to be able to draw any line on the probable flag winners, and for this reason we have not yet published any league standings. If good weather prevails , this week, however, enough contests will; have been run off to fairly well settle or sift the race down to a well defined group. So be ginning with the issue of next Tues day we will publish weekly the league standings to date. . Managers T,At' linve those teams out for every game this week! v TENNIS MEN PLAY W ARE FOREST HERE Meet Today in Return Engage ment ; Carolina Has Won There. Carolina netmen will receive Wake Forest representatives on the home courts today in a return engagement having beaten the visitors on their home court last week to the weird tune of 4 to 0. Coach Kenfield's rac quetmen had little trouble in annex ing all their matches in the last meet ing, and Captain Waddell leads a group of hopefuls into the second en counter with the Wake Forest team The matches abroad had to be stop ped after the singles play, when dark ness robbed the doubles pairs of a chance to show their wares. Only one court was available for the en gagement, which fact accounts for the number of matches run off. .The match with Wake Forest today will be the last time that the Tar Heels will appear on their home courts before leaving for an extensive southern Invasion, culminating in : the Southern Conference'Tournament at New, Orleans. Hawaii had more visitors during the past season than in any previou tourist season. GEORGIA DEFEATS CAROLINA GOLFERS Contest Is Held on Hope Valley Country Club Course Saturday. In a return engagement with the crack University of Georgia golf team, the Carolina links representatives were defeated over the Hope Valley Country Club course Saturday morn ing by the decisive score of 15 to 3. The Tar Heels were out to avenge a setback handed them by the Georgians on their recent southern invasion, but the visitors showed far superior form in their play which was never match ed by the Carolinians. Weather con ditions greatly handicapped both teams. The Georgia outfit is one of the crack golf teams in the South. Their record this season is impressive, with wins over Florida, Alabama, and oth er strong southern eggregations. The Athens boys defeated Duke on Satur day afternoon with the marginal vic tory of 16 to 2., The Crackers have lost only one meet this season and that was won by Georgia Tech, which team boasts of the famous Watts Gunn, na tional intercollegiate champion. Carolina's golfers at their bast would have had plenty of difficulty with the visiting team, but their play ing Saturday was considerably off form. The Tar Heels were also at a loss - due to the absence of their cap tain, June Adams, who is ill at his home in Asheville. Mason played first man for the Carolina team, with Stew ard, Vanstory, and Royster after him in ranking order. None of these seem ed to get onto their usual game; and, despite their rugged determination, they were within striking distance for only a short while during the four some play. Outstanding on the Georgia outfit were the Oliver brothers, Billy and John. Low-score card for the morn ing play was turned in by John Oliver, chalking up 76, on the 18 holes of in dividual matches. Billy Oliver also made a fine showing, with the score of 78 in the first round of play. The match scheduled for yesterday with the Hope Valley Country Club has been postponed until Saturday of this week. The Tar Heels will meet the Duke University golfers today in the last collegiate engagement of the season, thus lar the islue Devils have shown little strength on the links, and quite a contrast to the opposition en countered Saturday is expected. Notice All Seniors should see Mr. Hinson at the Book Exchange immediately and place their orders for caps and gowns for commencement, Ed Hudgins announced yesterday. India is using five times as much raw cotton from America as it did before the World war. i S 0t Sunday - - - May 13th GF all the gifts you might be stow, your photo graph will be most truly treasured.

Incessant rain caused the postpone ment of the Carolina freshman-State freshman track meet at Raleigh Fri day, and the Tar Babies are to meet the Wolf Cubs today on Riddick field. .. The Tar Babies have enjoyed a suc cessful season thus far, having wins over Charlotte High, Greensboro High, 1928 state high school cham pions, and Duke frosh. Coaches Ran son and Belding have a well balanced track squad and a win over Coach Serman's proteges will cinch the state championship for the Tar Babies. The meet today will end the sea son for the freshmen as there is no state meet this year. However, the Tar Heel coaches will take several freshmen relay teams with the var sity team to Greensboro for the State Intercollegiate meet this week-end. Several races have been added to the regular schedule of events by the Greensboro committee handling the varsity meet. Coach Rans on is especially-anxious for men to try out for these relay races as he will be forced to double the freshmen up on events if others do not come out for the special races. Sprinters, middle distance runners, and distance runners are needed. Walter Spearman Elected to Head (Continued from page one) their college newspapers, magazines, and annuals divided and went into conferences in their respective groups.

Carolina' TODAY WEDNESDAY COMING THURSDAY 2 Performances MATINEE 3:30 ' NIGHT 7:30 DUKE AND HEELS PL4YSATURDAY Game Here Will Be First Be tween Two Nines This Season. Rain has twice thwarted the Tar Heels and the V. P. I. nine in their attempt to stage their baseball games and unless a game can be arranged this week, the Heels will be unable to meet the collegians this Spring. The next game listed for the Carolina team is with Duke University on Emerson field Saturday. This will be the first game between the Blue Devils and the Tar Heels on the baseball diamond this spring. The Carolina nine has met every other member of the Big Five and has a record of two wins against one loss to State last week. The Davidson game was a pitchers' duel, while the Deacon-Heel contest was practically the same until the Heels began to connect with Lanning's slants. The State game last week in Raleigh was a Carolina victory until the team blew up in the last innings and allowed the Pack to take the contest 5-4. Duke has been turned back by State and Wake Forest and have a wan over Davidson. George Whitted, manager of the Durham Bulls, coached the team until very recent ly when Coach DeHart took over the reins of the Duke nine. "What effect this change will have on the vBlue Devils will be seen this week. The Durham team is on a northern inva sion and play their last game in Washington Friday, returning Satur day for the Carolina game. The Heels meet Guilford College three days after the Duke game. Then they play each of the Big Five teams once again and Virginia twice before closing the season. Kay Kyser To Leave For North In Week After one more week in -the south, Kay Kyser and his Orchestra will leave for Cleveland, Ohio, where they will be located until September. At present, the orchestra is finish ing up a successful engagement with the Realtor's Better Home Exposition in Winston-Salem which is the big gest affair of its kind held in this sec tion. This is the second annual expo sition. Weidemyer was employed for the one held last year.
