DISTANCE RACES
EXPECTED TO
CLOSE WITH PENN
Tar Heels Defending Record Of
No Deal Meet Defeats In
Eight Years.
SIDELIGHTS

Sports Editor
Annual Spring Golf
Play Begins Saturday
Contests in the distance races
promise to be the big feature
-of the North Carolina-Penn
:State track meet here Saturday-
afternoon. V
Flying Tar Heel runners have
-won four consecutive southern
cross-country titles, have kept
Tar Heel track teams unbeaten
in dual meets for eight years,
.and last Saturday raced to four
new records in the classic Geor
gia Tech relays at Atlanta.
Penn State, drawing from vet
erans one of the strongest track
teams in the country last year
and from an undefeated cross
country team last fall, will pit
against the Tar Heels some of
the greatest distance stars in the
country. 7
One of these is none other than
the famous Paul Kekers, I. C.
A. A. A., A. two-mile champion.
Another is C. A. Meisinger, who
placed third in the two-mile in j
the indoor intercollegiates at
New York, and ran with Rekers
on the Penn State team that
lifted the 4-mile relay title at
last year's Penn relays.
Another is Dick Detwiler, -who
made the third of Penn State's
invincible cross-country trio.
And so on down the line.
When the team that lifted
four of six new records at the
Tech relays meets the pride of
the north in what should easily
be the season's biggest inter
sectional meet in the south, the
fireworks should be great indeed.
The new records set by the
Tar Heels at Atlanta were
Farmer's 9.8 seconds mark in
me iuu , auu. new iciaj maxima
of 1 :29.06 for the half-mile ;
3:24.7 for the mile, an(J 18:28.2
for the four-mile. The' runners,
besides Farmer, were Slusser,
Gay, Nims, Weil, Stafford,
Lowry, Baucom,- Phoenix and
Barkley.

Carolina 5; Alabama 2
The University tennis team
defeated Alabama here yester
day 5-2. Carolina won as fol
lows:
Yeomans (Carolina) defeated
Schaeffer (Alabama) 6-2, 6-4.

feated Ashman and Cone (A)
8-6, 6-3.
Liskins and Hendlin (C) de
feated Schaeffer and Szeesi 6-3,
6-1.
Approximately 250,000 howl
ing tans jammed seven Dig
league ball parks to take in the
opening games. The game be
tween the world champion Ath
letics and, the New York Yank
ees, the runners-up in the Amer
ican League, drew the 'largest
crowd in the American league
with an attendance of 60,000
people, while the Chicago-St,
Louis game drew 65,000. .
Nearly all the clubs have been
greatly strengthened by rookies
and via the trading route. The
New York Yankees will have two
new faces on the left side' of the
field. Dusty Cooke, a Durham
boy, takes Bob Meusel's old posi
tion in left field. Bob was sent
down the river with Heileman of
Detroit to Cincinnati to pull up
the Reds' attack. Ben Chapman
will play third base, the only
weak, spot in the Yankee in
field.
The Chicago Cubs' chances
for repeating were greatly in
creased by the return of power
to Gabby Hartnett's, throwing
arm, otherwise the .National
league champions are standing
pat, as are the Athletics;
The Pittsburg - Pirates will be
greatly handicapped by the loss
of Burleigh Grimes, one of the
few remaining spitters, and the
injury to, Pie Traynor, baseball's
premier third sacker.
The Phillies, who have been
climbing steadily will still fea
ture baseball's greatest attack
and . their pitching has been
greatly improved.
All in all indications . show
that both league races will be
the closest in recent years. The
race in the American league will
again probably revolve around
the Yankees and the Athletics,
but what a fight that should be.
In the National league, all the
clubs with the exception of the
Boston Braves will be fighting
fiercely for the top rung, al
though the Cubs are the slight
favorites to repeat.
The Tar Heels certainly made
a hit with the track fans in At
lanta. Four, of the six new rec
ords were made by Carolina's
representatives. Charlie Farm
er, sophomore flash, crashed
through the century to establish
a new southern record of, 9.8.
Farmer was also greatly re
sponsible for Carolina's record
in the half mile relay. Three
of the new records were set by
the varsity. These were the
century, half-mile relay, and the
mile relay, while the Tar Baby
two-mile relay team set a new
record in that event. Ed Hamm,
essaying his comeback cam
paign, set a new broad jump
mark with a leap of 24 ft. 9 1-2
inches. There were no official
scores' kept but the Tar Heels
with 5 first places led the" field.
The basketball team suffered
a severe setback in the Tri-State
league when it dropped a double
header to the Washington and
Lee Generals. The scores were
10-2 and 7.-6. This makes the
third loss in four games that the
Tar Heels have played so far.
Their only victory was an 8-5
battle against the Cavaliers.
The golf committee of the
Chapel Hill Country Club is
planning with the woman's so
cial committee to make Satur
day, April ,19 a gala day on the
golf links and in the club house.
The ladies will serve tea, the golf
committee is arranging to start
the fourth of the spring tourna
ments. A handicap foursome
flight tournament is planned in
which the play will continue all
day. The women will play their
matches in the morning, start
ing at 9:30 o'clock and any of
the male members that can ar
range their foursome and prefer
to play the match in the morn
ing may do so. The winners in

Tar Heels Lose Two
Games To Generals
The Tar Heels lost a double
i y.
header baseball tilt to Washing
ton and Lee at Lexington Mon
day 10-2 and 7-6. '
Leigh Williams, pitching ace
and star first sacker of the Gen
erals, entered the last game in
the fourth inning, with the score
5-0 against him to stop the Tar
Heels.
A total of six round trips were
piled up in the two games with
ex-captain Lufty taking two,
and Whitehead one. The others
went to Williams and Hanna.
Six errors in the morning
game accounted for a large part
of the Generals' win, while only
two were made by the Tar Heels
in the second game. -
Last Wednesday night, the
board of aldermen voted to grant
a franchise to the Durham Gas
Company. If a sufficient num
ber of people here express a de
sire for its service, the company
will proceed to lay a main from
Durham to Chapel Hill and to
put pipes under the streets. The
work can be completed by July
15.
It all depends, however, upon
the extent of the demand for
gas here. Several hundred
families "already have electric
ranges, and the University Con
solidated Service Plants an
nounced this month a reduction
in the price of current. More
over, there have been many in
stallations of natural- gas in
tanks. The question is: in the;
face of this situation,, how many
citizens will sign up for gas
service? . - .
C M. Crawford, general
manager of the Durham and Ra
leigh gas companies (both of
which are owned by the South
ern Cities Utilities Company),
says that the Durham concern
will extend its service here if it
can enroll from 275 to 300 con
sumers in Chapel Hill and along
the route from Durham. The
company's representatives are
to make a survey at once to
ascertain if there are that many
householders who want gas.
In applying to the aldermen
for a franchise Mr. Crawford
said that the same rates would
apply here as in Durham and Ra
leigh. The charge is $1.80 per
1,000 for the first 5,000 cubic
feet each month, and goes down
as consumption increases. ,

'SONG OF THE WEST AT
THE CAROLINA TODAY
Roberto Guzman, who plays
one of the important' roles in
"Song of the West," the Warner
Bros. all-natural color, talking,
singing, dancing picture, at, the
Carolina theatre today, has had
a career equally as adventurous
as that experienced by any pio
neer of covered wagon days.
Guzman is a native of Mexico.
Ten years ago he rose to be con
fidential secretary of Adolfo de
la Huerta, first Provisional
President of Mexico. Later de
la Huerta started a revolt
against Obregon, which even
tually failed because the United
States refused to give recogni
tion to the revolutionists. De la
Huerta fled to the United States.
Guzman, who was hotly pur
sued, escaped in the funnel of
a smokestack on a freight steam
er leaving Tampico.
The Federals searched the
boat for two days, but could find
nothing. Then the captain, a
friend of Guzman, steamed
away after having cut off the
smoke in the one funnel.
De la Huerta started life as
a piano player in a Mazatlan
honky tonk. He met Guzman
there. After the debacle de la
Huerta, who also has a fine
voice, came to Los Angeles and
started a school for piano and
voice. He persuaded Guzman,
who has always been a singer,
that he had a fine chance in the
talkies.
As a result, Guzman won one
of the principal roles in "The
Desert Song," and later was cast
in "Song of the West," directed
by Ray Enright John Boles,
Vivienne Segal, Marie Wells,
Joe E. Brown, Sam Hardy and
many other notables are in the
cast. "Song of the West" is an
adaptation of "Rainbow" by
Laurence Stallings and Oscar
Hammerstein II. Vincent You
mans did the music. Ray En
right directed.
There were 99 students regis
tered in the University summer
school in 1910.

Frosh Lose 5-4
In a thrilling 12 inning game
played on Emerson field yester
day afternoon the Duke frosh
nine defeated the Tar Babies by
the close score of 5-4. The Car
olina ifirst year men showed
more power at the bat than did
the Blue Imps, making 11 hits,
three of which were home runs,
to their opponents nine, but
were erratic in the field and had
the misfortune xto make their
fielding slips in the pinches.
McCaskill, who laced out four
singles out of six times at bat,
and Peacock, Riggs, and Fere
bee, all of whom made home
runs, were the main cogs in Car
olina's batting attack, while
Peacock and McCaskill turned
in some good work afield.
Coombs, a brother of the fam
ous Earl Coombs, centerfielder
of the New York Yankees, was
the individual star of the day.
In addition to getting two hits
out of four times at bat and be-
ling walked twice, he pitched an
evcellent game, striking out 17
men in twelve innings, while Mc-

Henderson Signs To
Furnish Features
Dr. Archibald Henderson,
head of the mathematics depart
ment in the University, has) just
accepted a contract to succeed
the late Garrett P. Serviss as
feature writer of articles on sci
ence for the King Features Syn
dicate, Inc., one of the greatest
circulation combinations in the
world.
Mr. Serviss was one of the
leading authors and feature
writers of the country. His
forte was the popularization of
scientific subjects and names.
He knew how to treat, the most
complex subjects in a popular
and fascinating way, and his
lectures and books did much to
interest the layman in astron
omy. The selection of Dr. Hen
derson to succeed him comes as
a distinct honor to the Univer
sity. Dr. Henderson's books and
contributions to magazines tes
tify to his knowledge of the ex
traordinary advance of. physics
and chemistry upon which are
based most, of today's wonders
of science.. V-
