Saturday, Ilarch 23, 1930 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Paso Thrca ji jflt (0)-n Good Records Features First Track Meet Held This Year Gurneau for State Tosses Dis cus 137 Feet to Feature Meet. BROWN HIGH POINT MAN Carolina Weight Man Scores Eleven Points ; Clean Sweep Made In Low, Hurdles; Arnold Wins Pole Vault With Over 11 Feet Although no official score of the meet was kept the Univer sity track team triumphed over the State College cindermen here yesterday afternoon by the un official score of 82 1-2 to 43 1-2 in the first test of the outdoor season. Carolina placed first in ten of the 14 events, second in eight events, and third in six of the events. Ties for second in the high jump and third in the pole vault accounted for the oth er 2 1-2 points. Despite the fact that the weather was not exactly ideal for a track meet the times did not suffer appreciably. Theron Brown, with a first in the jave lin, and seconds in the discus and shot, was high scorer of the meet, with eleven points followed by Farmer with firsts in the 100 and 220-yard dashes for ten points. Probably the outstanding in dividual performance of the meet was the discus hurling of Gurneau, ineligible entry for State. This boy gets credit for the distance of 137 feet 10 1-2 inches to overshadow the work of the other entries in the event and better the University rec ord. Practically the : entire squads of both, institutions saw action in the meet, which was more or less of a practice affair by agreement Time trials for the freshmen were run concur rently with the events in the meet. - The summaries of the varsity and freshman events follow: 100-yard dash: Farmer (Car olina) , Stout (State) , Ketchie (State).

Wardlaw School Team Is Practicing Here The Wardlaw School baseball team of Plainfield, N. J., the on ly prep school ball team in the north to make asouthern train ing trip, lias been on the Hill since last Sunday. This is the third successive year that these youngsters have been the guests of the University ; and, without an -exception, JtheyalL vow to mate! Carolina someday their Alma Mater. The boys play a snappy brand, of baseball and in three practice games have taken the Betas and the freshmen over the ropes. There are four, little chaps with ; the team, and it is amusing to see them handle a bahV Two of them have midget on their uniforms, and two of them are j uniors. They have been brought along evidently as a reward for scholarship or good behavior. On the way south the team played the William and Mary freshmen and held them to goose eggs for six innings. The school combines educa tion with baseball on this trip, and the boys are taken to many points of historical interest. This year they visited Wash ington, Alexandria, Fredericks burg, Richmond, Williamsburg, and Petersburg. On the return trip they stop at Staunton, the Luray Caverns, Harper's b erry, Gettysburg, and: Valley Forge. Mr. Wardlaw founder of the school and : an alumnus of the University, was accompanied this year by his brother, Mr. Norman Wardlaw, who also at tended classes here a quarter of a century ago. ' . ' Frank Spotts is the coach of the team, and Newton Smalley, manager. The playing of young Walley Bruns, the plucky center fielder and captain came in for much praise, as did that of George Baner and Michael Ros coe, two of the best young pitch ers we've seen in some time. Following in order were James Haller, Paul Brakelery, Edward Stallings, Ralph DeForest, Jack Maloney, George Walck, brother of Claude Walck, a freshman. George played left field for the boys while they were here and duplicated his feat of last year by knocking out a home run at an appropriate time. The oth er boys on the trip were the diminutives, Barlow, Madsden, Stearns, and Perkina. WatMns (C), Brock (C). Time 53.2.?v . 1-mile run: Jensen (C), Jones (C) , and Cordle (C) .

Many Reporting: For Intramural Boxing 1 This year's intramural boxing tournament promises to be one of the most closely contested ever held here. A large number of candidates are working out in the Tin Can daily, and at pres ent all indications point to some red hot scraps on April 7, the date when the tournament will be held. All classes are quite well represented except the 115 pound and unlimited classes, in which there are but few entries. Coach Rowe would like to have several more entries in these weights and entries are by no means closed for the other weights. Coach Rowe.- points out that the tournament will be a fine opportunity for those inT terested in trying out for next year's squad and the squads in the years following to break in. Several of the varsity's stars of the past never boxed before they entered the intramuVal tourna ment and broke in that way. There are probably several un discovered Aliens, Browns, and Warrens on the campus, and it is hoped that all such will enter the intramural tournament and discover their latent talent. Sluggard In School Now Gets Attention Atlantic City (IP) The Sluggard now gets some consid eration in the public school, ac cording to William John Copper, United States Commissioner of Education, who delivered an ad dress , here ; before the depart ment of superintendents. ' ry The old custom of punishing the sluggard and not worrying if the slow student drops out no longer prevails, he said. The sociologist and the psy chologist are better able to help the child than they were a short time ago. The social adapta tion of the child is growing more important, Cooper said, and is must be left to the tax payers until all are convinced of the value of the service and are willing to provide funds for it. V'.''. ' 'VV.' None but the educator, he said, sees the child as an impor tant figure in society of which he is to be a member. He does not propose to make a diplomat out of material that would be best' as a butcher, but he aims at adjusting the child to a niche in life where his abili ties will be best expressed. In a questionaire sent- to 54 cities with populations of,. 100, 000 or more,, 40 reported that they maintained some sort of psychological service,- four psy chiatric clinics , arid sixteen others, reported having both. In 115 cities of over 30,000, 40 re ported "service of these types. Mr. Cooper - viewed with ap proval' the increasing interest taken in the child by parent teacher associations. U. D. C. Meeting Tuesday The U. D. C. will meet at the home of Mrs. W. S. Long on Pittsboro street at 3:30 next Tuesday, April 1. All members are urged to be present. Plans for the district meeting to be held in Pittsboro, April 2, are to be discussed.

Punch. v Looking Them Over - by Browning Roach The opening - game with Springfield- 4Y" college Thurs day brought to the ' front sev eral hew figures on the Carolina diamond. Starting - the Dlav with eight veterans, Coach Ash- miore' began1 to throw- in the pinch hitters and substitutes as soon as a substantial lead was established. Of the twelve ex tra men used, only two,1 Fleming and House, had seen much var sity service before. : ; Tom Ed wards also worked out in several games last year but had a little too much competition to -make the regular grade. The other nine are all sophomores or re serve men held over from " last year's squad. The right field position, which was sniitea arouna among Jessup, Jackson, House, Sher and Paxton, seems to have drawn a pretty good man in McKinney, who is getting a taste of varsity play this, season. This hefty outfielder gets in a good cut at the ball and shows promise of being able to nut them well out in the garden. His long single gave him a .333 average for Thursday's game, being hit, by pitcher once, taking a walk, striking out and popping up to shortstop in the other trips to the plate. , ;('.'' 'j'y y . ''' " From the way Potter and Kushner held them down behind the plate it looks as though it will be a safe move' to shift Maus to first and let these boys scramble over the backstop po sition. Both of these men cov ered the throws from the mound like veterans -and as is usual in early season frays, some of the balls were apt to come to them anywhere except over the plate. But as the saying goes, a wise ball knows its own catch er. ". " , Most of the pitching staff got a : chance in the box Thursday, with the veterans Wright and Fleming giving the other moundsmen a few lessons on de livery in the first five innings These hurlers allowed only one hit apiece, and then turned the mound work over to their un derstudies. Longest came up m the sixth to show the Spring field bunch how he annihilated his freshmen batsmen last year. With the exception of the usual rookie wildness, Longest sljowed fair delivery, and allowed three hits in two innings. If he can learn to pay a little more heed to conirol, his speed may enable this boy to do things yet. The Edwards boys, Paul and Tom, still lack a little grooming to wear off grandstand conscious ness and to get their delivery under control. A little more last inning practice and they will be ready to go in as regulars. Tom Edwards is Dlavinsr his last year, while Paul has just risen from the freshman ranks. Altho Springfield had already lost to Elon and Lenoir-Rhyne earlier in the week, the credit due for the Tar Heel victory is not diminished. .. Outside a little loose fielding and erratic throw ing that may easily be ascribed to the earliness of the season and the coldness of the weather Thursday, the team functioned rather smoothly. Nap Lufty .was seen to cast a wistful glance or two over toward his old first base position after juggling one or two hot grounders at third, but soon expects to be as much at home at third as at first. "U. S. senate has many problems," the head-line suggests. To be exact, it has just ninety-six of them. Peking (China) Leader. Michigan Student Publication Says Prohibition Flop Ann Arbor, Mich. (IP) prohibition, whether enforced by failure in colleges and the well soused collegiate is casually re garded today whereas he would have been publicly ostracised be fore the enactment of the Vol stead act. .This is what the Michigan Daily, student publication of the University of Michigan, thinks of the prohibition amendment and its affect on undergraduate life, as expressed in its editor ial, columns recently. It is a well known fact thata Prohibition has been an utter federal, state or university of ficers, has not rooted out the stubborn drink tradition among college men," the editorial said "Rather, indeed has the re verse been true ; the fascina tion in doing something forbid den has proved irresistible. "The very dangers of being drunk have added little-needed incentive to drinking, and col lege students in their sophistica tion have taken the feeble en forcement attempts so lightly that a thoroughly soused indivi dual became a joke instead of a Pity." Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment wouldn't solve the problem entirely, the . editorial says, "but we feel that flagrant intoxication would no longer be a tnmg to parade as conspicu ously as possible and certainly good wholesome beer would be restored to first place in the hearts of college students." . George Tilley, a senior in the literary college of the Univer sity, and a member of the edi torial staff, of . the ; . Daily, ex plained that the editorial repre sents general observations col lected by the staff writers from personal and campus contacts. STRANGE THREADS IN rT frn nti TTTT7i T7TTTTT?C What if your husband should be murdered? What if you were accused of the crime? What if the man you loved turned out to be a fortune-hunt er? Such are some of the story the screen version of Zoe Afcins'1 play, which is to open at, the Carolina Theatre today. It is a First National : and Vitaphone picture, with Lois Wilson and H B. Yarner in the leading roles. "The Furies" . from start . to surprising finish is a most un usual drama, altogether unlike the average film story. . New York's high society forms the background against .which tie players' act out their strange eventful destinies. Alan Crosland directed this picture, from Forrest Halsey's adafatation and dialogue. The brilliant cast includes Theodor Von Eltz, Natalie Moorehead, Jane Winton, Tyler Brooke, Alan Birmingham, Purnell Pratt, By ron Sage, Ben Hendricks, Jr and Carl Stockdale. CAR SALES DECLINE SIXTY THREE PERCENT IN STATE The records of the North Carolina highway department show that the sale of automo biles in this state fell off more than 60 per cent between Feb ruary of 1929 and February of 1930. , The total of cars for which the department issued li censes last month was 2, 490; in February, 1929, it was 6,329. - Ford fell from 2,555 to 1,282, Chevrolet from 1,589 to - 639, Pontiac -from 219 to 55, Essex from 302 to 62, Buick 'from 153 to 55, and Chrysler from 123 to 49. Dr. Miller Urges Less Attention To Scholarly Pupils Philadelphia, Pa. (IP) Less attention must be concen trated on the "scholar" and more on those wTho are not pri marily intellectual by the col leges, Dr. Karl G. Miller, pro fessor of psychology and direc tor of admissions at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania said re cently in an address here. Dr. Miller, said that from his--contact with: the parents of boys seeking admission to the Univer sity he felt-that the "proud fa ther wants his son to go through Opening process, to make many contacts, to become inter ested in many things, to have a good deal of fun and to do reas onably well in his studies." "I do not mean to imply," he continued, "that the candidate or his father is unmindful of the academic values of the college career. The boy would not want to enter an institution with low scholastic standards, and his fa ther would not foot the bill for a program involving no work and all play. Father and son both believe that, the college will provide knowledge and training which will be of real benefit in later life, v "But, unless I am mistaken,; the love of learning, the inspira tion fdr research these do not appear m the definitions of col lege education as it exists in the minds of prospective students and their parents. "Certainly, we are confronted with two almost diametrically opposed definitions of the pur pose of college education. "The college should, and I be lieve does, provide stimulation for the awakening of intellectual interests and for The fostering of true scholarship. But obvious lythe college is serving a quite different function in response to the demand of the American people. "It is furnishing an environ ment for the youth whose ambi tions are not primarily academ ic ; it is giving him the opportun ity to acquire knowledge in va ried fields Of endeavor, which are practically inaccessible to men in later life; it is offering him treasured associations with his fellows': : it is providing the 'm?re. cplete mental; ah physical develop ment for the ! prolongation of economic infancy." GENEROUS REWARD For return' of small gray leather : bag, containing valuable eye-glass,es and personal ar ticles; lost Friday morning in Murphy, 201, or. Woman's Room, between 9 and 1; finder please" return , to Mr. Koch's office in Murphy and receive reward. 3 mm ENJOi B0HUNQ TO NIQUT - OQ NY MIGHT Durham Bdvliag Center
