Trac Field Records
The flying feet of the oncoming
track athletes of North Carolina will
be seen on Emerson Field tomorrow
afternoon when the seventeenth an
nual Interscholastic Track and Field
meet will be held. While the track
men are using Emerson Field the
high school tennis players will; be
playing the final matches of the
fourteenth Inter-scholastic Tennis
tournament on the Carolina tennis
courts. This afternoon the tennis
players will begin their, matches.
Indications are that a record num
ber of High School athletes will com
pete in the meet tomorrow afternoon.
Likewise indications are that many
records of the past will go by" the
boards before the onslaught of the
newcomers. -,.-
Greensboro High '.-School, winner of
the 1928 meet, Charlotte winner of
championships from 1923 through
1927, and Wilmington, runner-up for
the past few . years and already
boasting two state championships,
will be the favorites. Raleigh and
Durham will also enter teams, while
there are also several well known
athletes from other schools who will
gather points.; However, Wilming
ton and Greensboro seem to have the
strongest outfits with Charlotte close
behind. ;
Two weeks ago Carolina fans saw
what the two leading contenders will
bring to Emerson Field when the
Freshmen staged a meet with Greens
boro and Wilmington. The Freshmen
won, but before the day ended many
old records were smashed and many
others threatened. Then too the
Charlie Farmer former Wilmington
High star, counted many points for
the yearlings.
In the tennis matches a record num
bei of entries have been received
Charlotte, twice winners of both the
doubles and singles matches plan to
enter a team this year. Other teams
entering are Chapel Hill, Dunn, Foun
tain, Spring Hope, Wilmington, Ra
leigh, and Durham.
In the track meet thirteen or more
, teams will compete. ' Greensboro,
Wilmington, Charlotte, High Point,
Durham, Raleigh, Stem, Edward Best
Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Aulander,
Oxford, and Fayetteville will all be
represented. -

Carolina's four horsemen of golf
rode roughshod over the pick of the
state opposition-Saturday in the sec
ond annual Sedgef ield North Carolina
Intercollegiate Tournament to hang
up a convincing claim to the 1928 in
tercollegiate golf title of North Caro
lina. By virtue of this victory, the
University retains the supremacy it
won last year in
circles of the state
The Tar Heels romped through 36
holes, during the course of the day for
an aggregate score of 645, 15 tallies
better than that of the Wildcats from
Davidson, their nearest competitors.
Duke trailed the procession with an
aggregate of 685 strokes for the 36
holes. :" '
. Meade Willis, brilliant University,
golfer, carried off the individual low
score for the event,and annexed the
crown of the individual intercollegiate
state championship by" virtue of his
157 medal score for 36 holes. June
Adams, of the Tar Heel four, tied for
third place in low individual honors
with 160 tallies for the event.
The ' University's showing Saturday
was 37 strokes ahead of their aggre
gate winning score at last year's
Sedgef ield meet.
The summary of Carolina's scores
in the tournament follows. M. H. Wil
lis, morning, 80; afternoon, 77; total,
157. C. G. Chatham, 81-86167.
June Adams, 76-84160.' Luther
Stewart, 80-82 162. Team aggre
gate, 317-329 646.
In somewhat the status of prelimi
naries to the Intercollegiate Tourna
ment, Carolina engaged Davidson in
.Greensboro on Friday, and romped
over the Sedgefield Country "Club
course through 36 holes" to emerge
winners by a 11 to 7 margin over the
Wildcats, victors over Duke on the
previous day. The matches in this
meeting were hard fought battles, and
it was not until the afternoon rounds
that the University forged ahead and
definitely left the spirited opposition
in the rear of the procession. The
morning 18 holes of play ended with
both schools holding an even division
of points, the score -Standing 6-6.
The best medal score of the day fell
to the fine work of Charles Chatham,
of the University, who brought in a
nifty card of 151 for the 36 holes.
During his afternoon round, Chatham
hung up a brilliant 73, but three above
par for the difficult Sedgefield course
June Adams, of Carolina, had the
second best medal for the day with
a pair of 79's for his rounds. Luther
Stewart was effective in playing the
role of big point winner for the Uni
versity in the match with ,Davidson.
"Puny" Harper Breaks Record
"Puny". Harper, Tar Heel weight
heaver and basketball center, has
started his record smashing early this
year. , Harper heaved the discus 135

Will Be Back.
The University yesterday return
ed to the role it assumes annually as
sponsor of the North Carolina Inter
collegiate Tennis Tournament.
Twenty-four court representatives of
five state college and universities have
arrived in Chapel Hill, to contest for
the crowns of supremacy in singles
and! doubles, which championships this
tourney will determine. This invita
tion tournament does not propose to
mark the state championships in team
play, which, of course, can be deter
mined only by a series of separate
intercollegiate engagements.

Yesterday's matches constituted the
first round of play, and served as a
preliminary elimination before the up
per brackets are reached. This after
noon,, the survivals of yesterday's
play will enter the second round an !
quarter-finals in the singles, and the
quarter-finals in the doubles. Semi
final matches will be played tomorrow
afternoon. Finals on Saturday will
climax the "tournament with "the
crowning of the champions.
Schools represented are N. C. State,
Davidson, Duke, Lenoir-Rhyne, and
Carolina. Each club has engaged
several flashy foes during the early
season, and a series of exciting mat
ches is-expected. Recent rains have
handicapped the practice of the en
trants, it is true; but yesterday's
elimination contests should yield a
group of speedy survivals.
April 13 Is Lucky
Day for Tar Heels
Whatever fears one may harbor
concerning the dangers of the num
ber 13 should be completely dispelled
after the almost complete success of
Carolina athletic teams on April 13th.
Varsity track and baseball teams were
in action Saturday and both were suc
cessful; the varsity golfers were also
on the links and they won; the two
freshman teams, ' relay and baseball,
turned in victories, to round "out a
completely successful 13th.
Meeting the Cavalier ball club for
the first time this season and in the
first of the three game series to be
played between the two teams Caro
lina won 6-4. Virginia began by
scoring three runs in the opening
frame. They added another in the
fifth, but Carolina came back to score
four runs on four singles and three
errors. The day, before Carolina
kept its Tri-State League recordclear
with a 6-4 victory over the Old Lin
ers from the University of Maryland,
Phil Jackson's home run enabled
Carolina to turn back the Terrapins

Despite the absence of four varsity
men, Henderson, Barkley, Wrenn, and
Fisher, the Heels trackmen ran to a
victory over the Generals of Wash

North Carolina prospects for turn
ing out a strong wrestling and box
ing team for the 1929 season seem
promising as many of the old men
turn out for spring practiced In the
past season Captain Brown led his
mittmen to the Southern Conference
throne, and Coach Ed Butler is striv
ing hard to ..retain this crown of
southern distinction for the Tar'Heels
in the coming struggles of next winter.
The reappearance of Vaughn, Shef
field, Goodridge, Allen, Davis, and
Warren in the ring promise a strong
resistence to whatever threats may be
made in 1929. Practices are being
held each afternoon in the Tin Can
and any new men wishing to try out
for next year's team are urged to
come out. 'As well as the necessity
of filling Captain Brown's position, it
is also possible that a new opening
may be offered in the form of a 159
lb. class providing the Southern Con
ference adopts the changes advised
by the National .Collegiate Associa
tion. - : ;-
Coach Quinlan is also holding
practices regularly in the Tin Can
Although many of the lettermen ' of
last year will be back again next sea
son, there will be positions open or
else positions which need the strength

lead the Tar Heel matmen during
1929-30.
Freshman Track Flash
Charlie Farmer, flashy sprinter on
the Carolina" Freshman track squad,
looks like a budding star for Coach
Bob Fetzer's varsity. Farmer, who
broke into the cinder game at Wil
mington High School, won first places
in the 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes
in a recent meet, running the sprints
faster than the varsity time that
day. He bettered the state intercol
legiate record for the 220 yard dash,
breaking the tape in 21 2-5 seconds

A vision come true
, In a part of Africa little known to the
whites, where obscure trails ran, Cecil
Rhodes dared to envision a railroad. He
lived to build it.
. The railroad itself was part of a vaster
dream, a dream of a far inland colony linked
fast to existing coast settlements by rail
and wire communication. And he lived
to build Rhodesia. ,
.First the dream, then the reality, is the
rule with telephone men too, as they work
to greater heights of service. But in be
tween, they know, must come periods of
careful planning and smooth coordination
of many elements.
Scientific research, manufacturing, plant
construction, commercial development,
public relations, administration many va
ried telephone activities offer a widening op
portunity to practical -minded visionaries.
