7 f t ( I r i '.. V 1 1 Thursday, May 24, 1928 THE TAR HEEL Page Three Intramural Dedication Gontest Will Be Entirely New Type of Campus Athletic Competition WILL BEGIN TODAY Is Competition pf Individual Against Existing Records And His Own Best Marks "Just how good an athlete are you ? " University of North Carolina students will have an opportunity to answer that question for themselves during the next few days by compet ing in the first annual .Intramural Decathlon Contest, which will begin today and last through the early part of next week. This decathlon is something new under the sun, on the Tar Heel cam pus, but is as old as the Olympic Games in Greece in the world ''of sports. It is an all-round competi tion not competition between indi viduals or teams in special events but a competition of each individual against the existing records and against his own best marks. The competition consists of ten track events as follows : 100 yard dash, broad jump, shot put, high jump, 440. yard " dash, 120 yard low hurdles (at standard distances), dis cus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and the one mile run. That seems a hard program, but the ten events are split up into two days of competition to make it easier. And now about the scoring, which is done on the basis of- the Univer sity records. The competitor is given 1000 points for equalling or bet tering a University record, and points below that are scored in proportion. Just to give an instance: Suppose John Smith, is entered in the compe tition. He runs -the 100 yard dash in 11 seconds flat, and since the record is 9 4-5 seconds he will score 880 points. He broad jumps 19 feet, and since the record is 22 feet 5 inches he scores 836 points. He runs the 440 yard dash in 56 seconds, and since the record is 50.2 seconds he scores 904 points. Suppose though he only clears feet in the pole vault, while the rec ord is 11 feet 9 inches. Then he will still score 552 points. And so the scoring goes. Where John Smith may be good in one or two events, some one else may be good in other events. Just because man is sr star pole vaulter or quarter-miler does not mean he can win the decathlon. It of course would be possible to score 10,000 points, but more than likely the winner will register about 6,000 points. This decathlon will be run in two sections, one Open Section for any student in the University in cluding track . lettermen, and one Novice Section for non-lettermen. The Open Section will be started this afternoon with an entry list that includes Johnnie -' Pearson, Stafford, "Mac" Gray, Roy Lowry, C.W.'.Had ley, Harry Pearson, Bill Dry, Winslow Smith, George Bagby and "Ookey Neimari. Others may enter by merely coming down to Emerson Field at 4:30 today. Five events will be run , this after noon, including the 100 yard dash, the broad jump, the shot put, the high jump, and the 440 yard dash. The score standing for these five events will be published in Saturday's Tar J Heel, and the final five events will be Tn Monday afternoon. Then on Tuesday afternoon the Novice Section will be run for the non lettermen. . STUDENTS MAY GET Y CARDS AT OFFICE Membership Cards May be Secured Any Time Before Commencement M'CARTHY WILL DIRECT GEOLOGY FIELD COURSES Trip Will be Through Moun tains of West Virginia and Western Virginia NET TOURNEY TO BE HELD FRIDAY State College Meet fto Complete J Matches Postponed Be cause of Rain I The third annual field course in geology; will begin on or about June 18, and will last for five weeks, it was announced yesterday. This course, offered each year by the de partment of geology, combines a sum mer outing with practical experience in field geology and geography. This year the trip will be mainly through the scenic region of the mountains of eastern West Virginia and western Virginia and through the Piedmont region of the latter state. The party will travel by automobile, camping equipment being carried in a trailer, and several extended stops will be made at points of scenic and geologi cal interest. Among the more interesting things which will be seen are the West Vir- ginia coal fields, where mines and breakers will be visited, and the Narrows," a deep gorge where the New River breaks through the Alle gheny Mountains. The West Virginia portion of the trip is entirely in the more mountainous portion of the Asfamores Ball Tossers Have Had Fairly Successful Season With 12 Games Won to 9 Lost The North Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament, rained out when first scheduled the middle of April, will be resumed on the University Courts tomorrow. These matches will i in no way determine the team cham jpionship of the state, but will decide the singles and doubles champions of North Carolina collegiate tennis cir cles. - Play in both doubles and singles progressed to the semi-final rounds before rain and wet courts forced postponement. Singles players and doubles pairs representing fours of the state's "Big Five" will convene here Friday to play off the championship matches. Carolina, Duke, Davidson, and Wake Forest have one singles entry still in the running, while Caro lina, Davidson, and Wake Forest will have doubles teams in the final rounds. In the doubles division, Helms and King, Wake Forest's stellar combina tion, have already played their semi final match and will meet the winner of the other bracket for the state title. Wilson and Waddell of Carolina are to meet Roddy and Carb, Davidson racqueteers, in the upper draw. Dav idson's doubles team annexed laurels in their department last year. Captain Charles Waddell of Caro lina, Captain Stuart Rogers of Duke, John Roddy of Davidson, and Helms ot Wake Forest, are among the out standing contenders for the singles The University of North Carolina baseball team, having won thirteen and lost nine of the twenty-two games played, closed its 1928 season with the State game last Tuesday on Em erson Field. Although this is not a very imposing array of games won and lost," the Tar Heels have, never theless, gotten their share of diamond laurels during the two months just past. , ' The Heels defeated their ancient rivals, the Virginia Cavaliers, in two of the three contests this year, and thereby annexed the annual series. This in itself is no small feat, and is one which every Carolina team strives to accomplish. In the state title race, however, the Tar Heels did not fare so well. They placed third in the standing with three victories and two reverses. North Carolina State College won the title this year with the Duke Blue Devils in second place. Carolina stood one place higher in the Tri-state League, being runner-up to the University of Virginia for top honors. The Tar Heels hit at a fast clip and ended the season with a team average, of the first ten regulars not including pitchers, of .314. They led the Tri state League in this department. Among the individual hitters Lufty and Mackie were first, each with a .400 average. The batting averages of the first tenregulars follow: Lufty Mackie Magner .... , Coxe ,. . Satterfield Jessup , Barnhardt Maus , Burt Jt Jackson ....... .400 .400 .350 .342 .315 .309 .308 .249 .218 .178 Tar Babies End A Successful Season By Defeating State state. Natural Bridsre. Virginia will be visited, and a chance to go through J title won by Whisnant of Duke last some oi tne tamous , caves ot tnis state will be had. Many mines, quar ries and smelters will be seen, and col lections of minerals and fossils will be made. In Virginia, the. route followed in cludes the cities of Roanoke, Lexing ton, Lynchburg, Staunton, Charlottes ville, etc., cities of historic as well as geological interest. The origin and development of the Appalachian Mountains and of the valleys and streams which traverse them will be studied, the origin of each scenic spot pointed out. This summer trip is required of all students majoring in geology, but is open to any one who has taken courses in the subject, not only in the University of North Carolina, but in other colleges. Students from several other colleges have already registered for the trip. This year the trip will be conduct ed by Prof. G. R. McCarthy, assisted by Mr. I. L. Martin. Two full course credits are granted to those students completing the work. spring, iiowever, oeiore semi-nnais play, Rogers must meet Merritt of Carolina, and -Waddell must oppose his teammate, Wilson, in further elim ination. The Tar Heels will miss the flashy playing of Covington, who has been declared ineligible for further parti cipation this season. He had survived the singles eliminations; and, paired with Merritt, he was still in the dou bles competition. His absences will throw one ot Carolina s remaining doubles teams out of championship play. Semi-finals matches in both depart ments will be played tomorrow, and it is possible that the finals of the doubles will be run off in the after noon. In that case the singles finals will be played Saturday morning.

Emanuel V. Lippert in School Life. J On Tuesday afternoon Coach Cer ney's Tar Babies ended a very suc cessful season by defeating the State College freshmen 8-7. This game cinched the state championship for Carolina. Averett was on the mound for the Techlets for the second time this season against the Carolina fresh men. Hurt continued his winning streak and turned . in a fine exhibi tion. ; Averette pitched a good game, but errors by his teammates at crucial times gave Carolina several unearned runs. Though Hurt allowed one more hit than Aveiette, his teammates field ed almost perfectly ancTcut off many hits by fine catches. Until the seventh the game was close and each team held the lead tem porarily. In ' that . inning, however, the Tar Babies bunched three hits with a walk and a fielder's choice to score four runs and sew up the game Not willing to be counted out of the running the State freshmen came back to score two runs in the eighth on an error, a single, a hi batter, and a walk. This ended the scoring for both teams. " The State freshmen hit safely in all but two innings but in most cases were unable to produce the. punch needed to drive in runs. The Tar Babies scored in every inning in which they were able to hit safely. Pete Wyrick was the high light in Carolina's at tack with three hits out of five times up. Crouch hit twice and "was the only Tar Baby besides Wyrick to solve Averette's delivery more than once. Glickman replaced Attentat first base in this game and got Carolina's only extra base hit: a double in the sec ond inning. This hit drove in White head, who had previously been walked, with Carolina's first run. Kerr with three hits out of four times up led State's attack. Hargrove and Brake also hit well for the Techlets. Hurt was the fielding star of the game, handling eight assists without an error. The whole Carolina team fielded well to keep down State's scor ing by presenting a tight defense in the pinches. Score by innings: r h e U. N.

Gentlemen: I sure get some riled when I see where some fellow is crowing over the fact that being older, and having run into Edgeworth sooner than his less fortunate compatriots, he challenges the world as the champion long-time member of the Edgeworth Club. He doesn't deserve any medals. He got his reward in the enjoyment of his smoking for the added number of years. He was just lucky in starting sooner, that's all. However, if you care to delve into ancient history, look up when they first started to pull down the old Grand Central Station in New York, then add at least six months to that, and you will arrive at the approximate time when I first joined the club. I have smoked at least one pipeful of every other tobacco I have seen advertised, sometimes through neces sity, but most of the time to prove to myself that I have been right in stick ing to the old blue tin.
