Against Carolina; Big Meet "
Is Fq Be Held in Greensboro
250 Athletes Meeting at Greens-
borofor State Title Meet
Friday and Saturday
The Tar Heel track team -will at
teeipt to win-its seventh consecutive
State Championship in the State In
tercollegiate meet to be held at the
TTorld War Memorial Stadium in
Greensboro, Saturday, May-5. 'For
. tke last six years t Carolina has dom
inated the state traclr realm, running
roughshod over the - members " of the
."Big Five" in all previous meets.
Next 'Saturday, the other state in
stitutions will present the greatest
strength ef er mustered against Caro
lina. State, Duke, Davidson, Wake
Forest, and the "Little "Five" teams
are ; in, a rebellious state against the
.Tar Heels and a great fight is pre
dicted for Saturday. '
Against the Tar Heels will be pit
tecPsuch men as Currie and. Whittle
of Davidson, Bruton and "IHrwin of
Duke, - and Young, Vinson and Mc
Dowell of State. In la5t year's meet
Currie ran the 100 yard -dash in 9.6
seconds, coming within one-tenth of
a. second of the world's record. Whit
tle has shown up well in this year's
meets. He is an excellent sprinter and
a good hurdler. Bruton and Erwin
are fairly good sprinters and will give
the other sprinters a rush for their
. money. State presents three good field
event men in Young, McDowell, and
Vinson. Young is an . excellent per
former in the broad jump and javelin,
and his teammate Vinson is an able
second in these events. Jack McDow-
; ell is State's star broad and high jump
artist. . '
Comparative times and distances
virtually concede the edge to the Blue
Devils, Techmen, and Wildcats in the
sprints,' the jumps, and possibly the
javelin arid shot put; Carolina is left
to depend for victory on its brilliant
V distance men and three or four stars
in the pole vault, the hurdles, and the
discus.
In the 440, Carolina will depend on
Dave Nim's, who recently left his
crutches to defeat the Conference
champion in this event. Barkley, Evr
ans, and Horney have consistently won
three places in the half-mile and the
Tar Heels expect them to repeat this
performance Saturday Galen Elliott
and June Fisher, star milers, have
finished first and second in the mile
in every meet this season, and last
Saturday along with Pritchett .and
Barkley won the four-mile relay .cham
pionship . of America in the Penn Re
lays atf Philadelphia. Captain Hoyt
Pritchett, Conference two-mile cham
pion," is expected to win the two-mile
and possibly lower his own record.
Johnnie Pearson, star hurdler ' and
high-jumper, will attempt to hold up
1 his end in thev hurdles and may pos
sibly best Jack McDowell of State in
; the high jump. Lacy Harper and
Vernon Cowper will probably 'be
Carolina's mainstays in the discus and
pole vault, respectively. J. K. Smith
will run against Currie, Whittle, and
Bruton in the sprints. On the above
named men Coach Bob Fetzer places
Carolina's chances for another state
championship. . - .
The teams entering the meet are
Carolina, Davidson; Duke, State, Wake
Forest," High Point, Guilford, Atlantic I
Christian, and Lenoir-Rhyne. These
teams will ' enter approximately- 250
athletes in the competition. The pre
liminaries will be run off Friday -and
the finals Saturday. ;
Only one change has been made in
the meef'this year. -( The mile relay
will be classed as an event, and points
will be credited to the winning team.
One of the features o the, meet is
the fact that Greensboro College girls
will turn out "en masse" and that
many of the N. C. C. W. vgirls will
attend the meet. The N. C. girls are
having a field day of their own and
this will prevent many of them from
attending the state meet. "r
In last year's meet only 3 records
remained unbroken, those in the jave
lin and hurdles. In that meet 11 rec
ords' fell and indications are that many
will fall again in Saturday's meet.
Handsome medals will be presented
the individual winners and a beauti
ful trophy will be awarded tothe team
, scoring the" highest number of points.
Last year the Tar Heels" won the tro--phy,
'but they have to win it three
years in succession before they gain
permanent possession of it. ,-

HEEL, PRINTS
by ; "J:
Xarhordugh
The victory of the Tar Heef 4-mile
relay team brings to the south some
of the honor that has long been due
southern athletes. Occasionally,
southern trackmen would get recog
nition by national experts, but most
of the time the phenomenal time of
southerners would be put down as
a. "flash in the pan." However, the
great triumph of the four men rep
resenting Carolina was not a mere
"flash in the pan," but a'real triumph.
The Heels won that race, and. they
won it with room to spare. In fact
Galen Elliott outran Bill Coxe, Penn's
great miler, so decisively tha,t the
eastern news writers could write of
little else except Elliott when writing
of the 4-mile relay race. Coxe is
Intercollegiate champion ioo. Con
gratulations are' due to Coaches Fet
zer and Ranson, and to "Pritchett,
Fisher, Barkley, and Elliott.-
State Championship Meet at
Greensboro
- The State Intercollegiate champion
ship meet at Greensboro" promises to
be the greatest state meet ever held.
Several teams are" threatening to
break Carolina's supremacy on the
cinders. According to news reports,
Duke has aspirations for the cham
pionship, held by the Tar Heels for
seven consecutive years". Davidson
and State may Have the same aspira
tions, but they aren't publishing them
quite as promiscuously as the Blue
Devils. Perhaps the Duke trackmen
will upset the Heels this year. But
as we see it, the Heels are due to re
peat this year. The meet this week
end will be closer than it was last
year or for several years past if every
I one comes through as expected. But
we pick the Tar Heels to win.
Duke's Chances
The Blue Devils are placing their
hopes in the hands, or rather in the
feet, of a couple of distance runners
and one or two sprinters. Woodward
and Tuttle are their best bets. Wood
ward wonlthe half mile last year and
the Devils are counting on him to re
peat Saturday. Evidently they reck
on with Minor Barkley. Minor has
been stepping the half mile in good
time this year and we believe he is
capable of doing even better. Then,
too, Elliott may step in and take a
hand in the half. Elliott was barely
beaten by the Duke Star., last year,
and the Tar Heel had already run the
mile in 4:26.6 that day. Either of
these Carolina men will give the Duke
Star a good race, and second and third
places add up asfast as first places.
Tuttle is another of the Devils who
is expected to win. He won from
Hoyt Pritchett early in the season,
but Hoyt has improved a lot since
then. Something is going to happen
to the state record for the two-mile
run .when Pritchett and Tuttle begin
the race.
We hardly think that anyone will
dispute Carolina's probable victory in
the mile run. Nor will Duke dispute
Fisher's very probable second place
in that event. "
Duke is also expecting to pick' up
places in the sprints. What about J.
K. Smith? Bruton won the ,100, but
we think that a Tar . Heel ' sprinter
won first in the 220." Currie is 'due to
take first place in both dashes.' Duke
should score in both of these events
but so will Carolina.

Mule Versus Bicycle
John ' Harmon, president of" the
class of ,1923, and John Purser, pres
ident of the class of 1924, are going
to have their bizarre race on Emer
son Field on Alumni Day, June 9.,
This comes , during commencement
week. , They have agreed that John
H. wilL steer an unruly mule while
John P. will pilot a bicycle.
. Some real cheering will be there, as
the alumni of both classes are going
to back their Johns to the finish. The
rules are John H. must at all times
remain of his long-eared animal; the
mule must also remain on the track.
No short cuts will be allowed John
P. does not have such an unruly ve
hicle, so he only has to pedal the bi
cycle . over the cinders. Violations pf
the rules will result in disqualification
from the race. 'The race -will be a
quarter of a mile affair. - Although
no prizes have yet been offered, both
contestants are ready to fight for the
honor ofthuir classes to the finish.
The Tar Heels scored their second
victory over Duke University golfers
Tuesday when they played a brilliant
match over the Hope Valley Country
Club course to hang up a 16 to 2 win.
Carolina played far the superior game
and from the first the outcome was
almost, evident. This' decisive victory
chalks up the Carolinians' third suc
cess against North Carolina colleges
and leave their slate clean of any
mark of defeat.
In the individual matches, the Caro
lina players won three of their four
engagements. Playing, in the order
of their rank, Mason (Carolina) de
feated Jennings -(Quke) 3 and 2-;
Bevacqua (Duke) defeated Steward
(Carolina, 3 and 2; Vanstory (Caro
lina) defeated Hester (Duke),. 7 and
6; Royster (Carolina) defeated Se
part (Duke), 6 and 4. "
Duke's foursome play was some
what erratic " and the Carolina out
fit was easily able to considerably in
crease their lead in this department
of play. .
The meet with Duke on Tuesday
marks the end of match play for the
Tar Heels this season. The team will
enter the . Southern Intercollegiate
Tournament in Nashville, Tenh., May
1411, and 12. v

Virginia V Cavaliers are leading the
Southern Conference Tri-State league
to date with five wins against two
losses. The Tar Heels are in second
place with five wins and three losses,
while Maryland and N. C. State are
in third and four places respectively.
The - Cavaliers drove State out of
first place by defeating them Monday,
while State had previously driven the
Heels from the, top rung of the per

However, the Cavaliers are yet to
meet State once, Maryland once, and
the Heels twice, besides facing con
tests within their own borders.

Miss Swanson and Director -Wal&h
first took steps to assure proper cast
ing, to the end that various character
isations of the story migrht attaints
uniformly high standard. And in se
lection of the cast they were able to
exercise a free hand, without any con
sideration other than individual merit
entering into the matter, the result
being the-strongest cast yet assembled
in the producer-star's support,
"Sadie Thompson," as interpreted
by Miss Swanson, has been recognized
wherever it has been seen as the most
colorful and most dramatic role of her
career. Raoul Walsh, bowing to the
unanimous opinion of his associates"
that he himself should play the Ma
rine, "Sergeant O'Hara," consented f
assume the role in addition to his di
rectorial duties. It is his first screen
appearance in eight years, since he
played "John Wilkes Booth" in D. W.
Griffith's "Birth of a Nation." Lionel
Barrymore appears in the role of the
despotic reformer "Alfred Atkinson,'
whose unwavering devotion to duty,
as he interprets it, has an entirely un
expected outcome. For the character
ization of "Mrs. Atkinson," the re
former's prim wife, Mis3' Swanson
and Director Walsh induced' Blanche
Frederici to journey from New York
to Hollywood because they felt she was
the one woman ideally suited to play
the part, as a result of her long famil
iarity with the role on the speaking
'stage. Charles Lane, one of the best
known character men in pictures, was
signed to play "Dr. McPhaili. and
Florence Midgley was selected from a
score of candidates as the exact type
to portray "Mrs. McPhaiL"
'SADIE THOMPSON" HAS WELL
ROUNDED CAST'
.
Critics of motion pictures are point
ing to the well-rounded cast of "Sadie
Thompjpn," Gloria Swanson's second
independent United Artists screen of
fering, which comes to the Carolina
Theatre today, as proof of their con
tention that elimination of two major
handicaps will go a long Way toward
.
materially increasing entertainment
value of motion pictures.
The first handicap is frequent fail
ure to pay sufficient attention to im
portance of , proper characterization,
in the constant effort to attain great
er lavishness in production. The sec
ond is casting of players in roles for
which they are not always suited,
rather than permit these actors to
draw salaries specified by their con
tracts, and remain idle.

Somerset Maugham's widely discussed
short story, "Miss Thompson," and
