Tar Heels Take Rubber Game
From Virginia by 8 - 4 Score
Before Large Crowd Saturday
. ' -o "
Carolina Doubles Score on Ancient Rivals in Greensboro World
War Memorial Stadium; Westmoreland Pitches Entire
Game While Virginia Uses Two Moraidsxnen
Carolina took the third and decid- j
ing game of the annual series from?
the University of Virginia baseball
squad by an 8-4 score in the Greens
boro World War Memorial Stadium
last Saturday. The Tar Heels out hit,
oat fielded, and out played, in general,
their ancient rivals before a color
ful crowd of some 8,000 persons.
Carolina took an early lead in the
initial frame, when doubles by Coxe
and Earnhardt with a single by Lufty
sent two runners across the plate. The
Virginians also had an opportunity to
score in the first, but a snappy double
play, Westmoreland to Mackie, blast
ed their hopes. The Cavaliers did,
however, push over a run in the sec
ond. Cardwell walked, stole second,
was sacrificed to third by Byrd, and
came home on a fielder's choice that
cut off Dunn at first.
Coxe? Tar Heel center fielder, reach
ed first in the third inning as a result
of an error, and .scored a moment lat
er on Lufty's triple. Captain West
moreland then doubled to send Lufty
home with the second tally of the
frame. The Heels, not satisfied witht
their lead, came back in the next in
ning to add another run to their cred
it. Satterfield singled, took second on
a passed ball, and raced home when
Coxe slashed out a single. This ended
the scoring until the seventh with
the exception of a single Virginia run
in the fifth.
The seventh was the heavy scoring
inning of the game, Carolina sending
over three runs to Virginia's two. The
Tar Heels landed on Melrose with a
will in this frame, and he was forced
to give way to Stephens. Bowen's
home run, Sloan's triple, and Jack
son's error accounted for Virginia's
runs. Five hits and a base on balls
gave the Tar-Heels their counters.
Jackson, Carolina second sacker,
and Cardwell, Cavalier third base
man, were the fielding sensations of
the game. The pitching of Joe West
moreland, Carolina captain, was also
a feature. Coxe and Lufty led the
Tar Heels in hitting while Sloan was
best in this department" for Virginia.

Death Mask of Napoleon Is
In Possession of University
o
Until Recently Priceless Treasure Reposed on the Desk of the
President Serving as an Ornament and
Curio; Now Locked in Steel Safe

Until sometime recently a priceless j ter the Emperor's death, May 6, 1821.
treasure reposed on the desk of the
president of the University, its worth
being unknown to students or faculty.
This same relic served a dual pur
pose as an ornament, and as a curio
for all to see. It was not realized by
those privileged to view it that they
were gazing upon a plaster cast, or
"death mask," of Napoleon Bonaparte,
now valued at a fabulous sum, run
ning well into six figures.
In the many biographies of Napo
leon there is not one that mentions
the mask. His colorful campaigns
combined with his greatness have
tended to .make Napoleon one of the
most outstanding figures in history.
Little wonder, then, that the know
ledge, of this cast is not known ex
cept to a very few. Indeed, even the
officials of the University were un
aware of the true value of the mask
and no attempts were made to safe
guard it. Not until someone happen
ed to offer a large sum for the mask
did the authorities take heed and lock
it securely in a steel safe, the .com
bination of which is not known to any
one. The mask is one of six in the world,
and only one other is in the United
States. They were made by Dr. Fran
cesco Antommarchi, Napoleon's phy
sician, while he was an exile on the
Island of Saint Helena. The day af-

Advancing from the position of

fine game throughout the recent Car

corner of the outer garden admirably,
and his bat has been very useful in
turning the tide in favor of the Tar
Heels.
GRADUATE CLUB TO
MEET THIS FRIDAY
Last Meeting of the Group Will be
Held in Person Hall
The last meeting of the Graduate
Club for this year will be held Friday
evening, May 18, at 7:30 in the music
building, Person hall. The program
will be in charge of members of the
teaching staff of the department of
music.
Professor Paul John Weaver will
speak to the Graduates on 'the topic,
"The Place of Music in Education."
Professor Thomas Smith McCorkle
and Nelson Otis Kennedy will each
play a series of selections following
the lecture.
The administrative board of the
Graduate Club wishes to make reports
of the year's business at the meeting
Friday evening and arrange for the
election of officers at the first meeting
in the fall of 1928.
Dr. Antommarchi completed six "death
masks" which were a century later
destined to become famous as works
of art and priceless in value.
A recent biographer of Napoleon,
one who seems to be better acquaint
ed with more: facts in his life than
any heretofore, apparently is ignor
ant of the fact that the University is
in possession of one of the plaster
casts, and that the other is in a mu
seum at Omaha, Nebraska, being
known as the McManus mask.
An offer last summer, greater than
its precedent, aroused the consterna
tion of the University officials, and
the combination of the safe was chang
ed to prevent possible theft. The man
that altered the combination was kill
ed in an automobile accident after
wards, and he was the sole person ac
quainted with it.
When Dr. Antommarchi came to
America in 1836, he presented the
mask to Dr. Edwin Bathurst Smith
of New Orleans, who in turn gave it
to his wife at his death. Mrs. Smith
offered it to her niece, a Mrs. Bryan.
In the autumn of 1894, Captain Fran
cis T. Bryan gave the precious relic
to the University where it has remain
ed ever since.

able source, are a precise likeness of

TEAM TO DEBATE
JOHNS HOPKINS IS
SEEOTMIDAY
Wilkinson and Mewborn to Con
tend With Hopkins Forensic
Team here Friday
John Wilkinson and John Mewborn
were selected to represent the Uni
versity against the Johns Hopkins
forensic artists in the debate tryouts
held Friday night. Wilkinson has
previously had intercollegiate debat
ing experience while Mewborn has
been quite successful in intersociety
debates. The two were joint win
ners in the recent Mary D. Wright de
bate. The team will meet Johns Hop
kins University here Friday evening
in Gerrard Hall, to discuss the ques-
tion, Resolved, That the United States j
should cease to intervene with Armed
Force in Latin America. The Caro
lina boys will uphold the negative side
of the question.
Efforts have been made for some
time to arrange this debate but it is
only recently that' a final agreement
was reached.
Only members of the debate squad
who have been in attendance at the
meetings of the organization and who
have been working on the question
were eligible to try out.
The University had had one of the
most successful seasons of its career
this year, winning the majority of its
contests. The plan of having a de
bating squad to meet together under
the direction of Professor McKle, and
to study the questions for discussion
seems to be working very successfully,
and the plan will probably be con
tinued next year.

LOCAL MOTOR CAR
COMPANY GOES UP
IN FLAMES MONDAY
pp-jf, Mntor fW i Pp,
duced to Ashes by Fire
Early in Morning
Thirty-four automobiles of which
nine were brand new Chevrolets, went
up in flames Monday morning at
2:30, and the Pendergraft Motor
company today consists of a large
quantity of ashes, bent up metal and
half melted tires. This fire is the
first of the week and fourth in the
past ten days for Chapel Hill.
The origin of the fire is uncertain.
The fire department was unable to
halt the spread of the fire and not
only the thirty cars which were in
side of the building were destroyed
but also four on the outside. The
total loss will probably approach
$30,000.
All day yesterday men were work
ing to remove some of the debris
from the smoldering ruins.
This fire was similar to the Pick
ard Hotel 'fire in Januaury. - Both
building were old frame structures
and were easily consumed. The
firemen wrere unable to do anything
with the conflagration, and the fire
resulted in a total loss to the owners.
Due to the early hour of the fire
few people were on hand to help in
removing the ill-fated Chevrolets.

Greensboro Provides Scene of
Many Gay Festivities Saturday
o 1
Light-hearted Multitudes Pack Gate City and Crowd Memorial
Stadium; Heralded as one, of the Greatest
Collegian Days in the South
o
(By Joe Jones)
In a fair city, under a fair sky all
things worked together for good for
them that loved Carolina. From gala
dawn to gala-dark, and on past mid
night, the light-hearted multitude
pushed in, gave itself over to happi
ness, and crept heavy-lidded home a
gain. Save that Bowen of Virginia
took the Stetson suit offered for the
first home run, the day was a Caro
lina day, pure and simple. Girt with
new might Carolina's team wrested
strong victory from the proud Vir
ginians; packed stands groaned be
neath a Carolina crowd; encompassed
about by a thousand U. N. C. sister
school girls, Carolina's Cheerios and
band volleyed and thundered ; at even
tide behind the honey-suckle hedges
of Spencer lawn Carolina youth call
ed to Carolina beauty; while through
the night on two great floors Caro
lina's light-footed ones danced dull
care away.
Heralded as one of the greatest col
legian days in the South, Greensboro's
Saturday in no wise fell below what
was expected of it. The heavily cloud
ed forenoon brought misgivings, but
before mid-day a cloudless sky greet
ed all comers. At ten-thirty A. M. the
Chapel Hill special arrived in Greens
boro, and in orderly rank and file be
hind the U. N. C. band, the U. N. C.
phalanx marched confidently through
the town and up to the doors of the
O. Henry, where it gave four mighty
cheers and sang "Hark the Sound."
During the noontide and beyond, the
highways poured their quotas in, and
by two o'clock the crowds seethed in
the streets. A cool breeze rufHed thous
ands of bare collegian heads and frisk
ed thousands of short collegian skirts,
while traffic cops worked like Tro
jans. Toward three P. M. the great sta
dium was almost filled, west wing la
den with G. C. and N. C. C. W. girls,
Fire broke out in the store room
of Venable Hall between four and
four-thirty Saturday morning and did
damage to the building and equipment
to the sum of ?30,0O0. Much of the
most valuable equipment was -destroyed.
Due to the fireproof construction
of the building the damage to the store
room was comparatively small.
Several delicate scales, "many cans
of f-ther, tanks of other costly gases
were consumed by the fire. The loss
es encountered along this line are ex- -
pected to hinder the work of the chem
istry department for a time, because
much of the destroyed equipment is
not easily replaced.
The principal damage to the build
ing was kept in the store room, where
the blaze originated. Much damp and
thick soot is settled on the wall3 of
the damaged section because of the
density of the smoke from the gases.
The soot is caked on the walls about
an inch or more thick, and it will take
quite a bit of time to clean the walls.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
It was probably started either by the
combustion of a chemical with an ig
niting point of room temperature or
by the carelessness of someone in the
room on Friday. Fortunately a large
fire door stopped the spread of the
blaze. The fire department was help
less because of the nature of the blaze.
Water is absolutely useless in aiding
to extinguish such a fire. The only
sure method of extinguishing this
type of fire is the use of carbon di
oxide, and it was impossible to get
it in large enough quantities to be of
any use, so the firemen had to allow
it to burn out.
It was quite a scene to have tanks
of gases and gasoline exploding, and
cans" of ether shooting out long flames.
There were not enough of explosives
to endanger the building, but many
small combustions were heard by those
at the fire.
The chemistry building was closed
all day yesterday while insurance men
estimated the extent of the damage.
The losses are covered by insurance.
a panaroma of blue-and-white f rock
ed beauty. Entered the Cheerios be
hind a strident band, marched across
the field, deployed before that mar-
velous right wing, sang the "Song
of the Cheerios," and leaped into the
coveted patch of stadium reserved for
them in the midst of beauty; while
a thousand or so units of that beauty
marched onto the field, methodically
formed a huge blue-and-white U. N.
C, performed a stunt or two, and filed
back into the stand.
Then Cap'n Joe and his good hench
men stepped into the lists, and there
followed a game clean, fair, and fear
some. Although Carolina swept Vir
ginia from the field there were times
when the Carolina multitude trembled,
begging for hits, or going on its knees
to Westmoreland for another punch
out. And always from the west wing
came heartening support, the mega
phoned roar of the Cheerios, the "shrill,
ordered cries of a thousand young
girls, and quickened music from the
band. . - '
The evening's reception at N.- C. C.
W. on Spencer Lawn was a beauteous
spectacle. One never saw so many
pretty girls before, and they were
all decked out in their rarest finery
for this annual event. The lawi-full
of loveliness in the cool, starlit night
was a two-hour paradise for several
hundred Carolina boys. Arm in arm,
each with his chosen one, they stroll
ed about, laughed, chattered, sat close
on the benches or on secluded steps;
and there was an air of charm and
sweetness and loveliness about it with
al, a bit of soft Southern glamour.
And down town the two big dances
ran full blast at the two big hotels
so that whosoever would might finish
the day in fine fashion. , v
Chapel Hill caught the last echo of
the festivities when the special clang
ed in shortly before three A. MJ' Sun
day, and dumped its noisy crew on the
Pittsboro Street sidetrack.
