The Tar HeeL tennis team gained its seventh consecutive victory here yesterday by white washing the visiting Wake For est aggregation for nine match es. The Carolina team has been going great guns so far this sea son, and none of its opponents have succeeded in obtaining more than two individual match es in any team match. Hendlin (C) had an easy time disposing of Vernon (WF) 6-0; 6-0. Hendlin was placing the ball with great accuracy and Vernon could not break through to win even a single game: Captain Merritt (C) played a steady game to trim Sikes" 6-2, H T 1 1 1 T . 6-u. merriit piayea a very steady game, Sikes being unable to play consistently enough to press him. ... . ' Liskin (C) ran through Egle 'ston for a quick 6-0, 6-1 win. Liskin played a careful game, letting his opponent make the "errors, and Egleston could win only, one of his services before losing the match. Graham (C) met a tough man in Griffin of Wake Forest, and was forced to three sets in order to win. Griffin won the first set by taking the offensive and rush ing the net as often as he could. Graham got his eye on the ball in the second set and passed Griffin repeatedly at the net. In the final set both players went on the defensive, and Graham proved to be the steadier player by taking the set' 6-3. Track Flash! A few minutes before go ing to press, the Tar Heel learned that Carolina annexed her eighth consecutive state title by compiling a total of 72-points yesterday ,in the state meet held in Greens boro.

Lacrosse As New Varsity Sport terday afternoon, and after out- hitting the Deacons from Wake wards the west. (By Nathan Volkman) Lacrosse has for a number of years been making slow but sure headway in the collegiate world, and each year is assuming great er proportions as more and more college teams take the game up. According to a special dis patch to the Baltimore Evening Sun, "Lacrosse now outranks every ether spring sport on the Penn athletic curriculum, hav ing surpassed even rowing in popularity." Not only is this the case at Penn, but at most of the other colleges where it has been introduced. In the United States at pres ent the game is going strong in the xejtst, progressing rapidly in the. south, and swinging to- The ' state of Forest and missing two good chances to sew up the game with a single hit, , the Carolina nine dropped an 8-7 decision to the visitors. , Heavy hitting on both sides, with three homers, a double and a triple being poled out, kept the outfielders on the run and two pitchers for either team were needed to furnish the batters with something to swing at. Al len, Reynolds and Benton for the Deacons, and Whitehead, Potter and House for Carolina hit for .500 or more, with all except the first of these "pounding the moundsmeri for extra bases. The fifth was the big inning f orN Wake Forest. A single by Cobb, a home run by Benton, a ; double by Gillespie and another Palmore (C) defeated Cobb 6-3, 8-65n a long match. After losing the first set, the Deacon player settled down, but could not outsteady Palmore who'came from behind and took the last set 8-6. ' . - Baggs (C) had some trouble in the first set against, Fletcher, but after a long struggle he was able to win 8-6. The Deacon player slowed down in the sec ond set, and Baggs took advan tage of this opportunity to run i out the set 6-1. Hendlin and Liskin, Carolina's left-handed sophomore pair, met unexpected opposition in Vernon and Sikes of Wake Forest, and were forced to three sets to win 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. The Wake Forest couple won all of their services ' in the first set, and showed some fine team work to win the set quite easily. After trailing at 2-0 in the second set, Hendlin , ' and Liskin finally got going and ran off six straight games to take : the set 6-2. The Wake Forest pair fought hard in the final set and succeeded in tying the score at 3-3, before going down before the steady stroking of Hendlin and Liskin. Merritt and Palmore (C) de feated Egleston and Cobb 6-3, 6-4 in a hard match; Graham and Browne (C ) found Frank and Fred Fletcher of Wake Forest a hard. team to beat, but their playing was a Lt little too goodtor the Deacon Pair. The final score was 6-3, y.6-4. ' ft Intramural Tenuis J homer by Reynolds cleaned the bases and left the Deacons with a five-run lead. Henry House's triple to left center brought in Maus for the first" Tar Heel tally in the open ing session at bat, while the fourth, fifth and seventh added two each to the home team's count. In the fourth Lufty sin gled himself to first, took third on Potter's hit to left field and scored when Potter took second and the shortstop missed the throw from home.: Wright rolled one to the pitcher who ill-chose his play and tried to catch Pot ter going to third, letting both men take their "bases. Wright and Potter then executed a neat double steal, with the former going to second and the latter sliding across the plate to be safe by a close decision. Successive singles by White head, Maus, House and Lufty in the next inning added couple of runs to Carolina's total and a homer by Potter in the sev enth with Jackson on third fell one short of tying the score at eight-all. Lefty Lanning stayed on the mound for the Deacons until the seventh, fanning seven"men, but relinquished his job to Newsome after Potter's round-trip clout. Longest gave way to Edwards after the extra base barrage counting four runs in the. fifth. Edwards held the Deacons score less for his half of the game, allowing but two hits in 4 2-3 innings. W.

Maryland, where the game has flourished since the early '80's, leads the entire country in la crosse activity. In the lacrosse movement, Carolina, a leader in southern collegiate activities, has re mained lethargic and uninter estedT while Georgia, Georgia Tech, Maryland "and Virginia have assumed southern leader ship in the lacrosse world, the latter having engaged in a match with an Oxford-Cambridge team only a few days ago. A brief-review the game may, perhaps, aid in stimulating the interest of .University athletic officials and the student body in the game. According to historic belief, the Indians were the first to play the game. With the Indians la crosse was almost a religious rite, the game often being pre ceded by ceremonies and fasting. The best player of the tribe was frequently elevated to a high and respectful position because of his prowess in the game. The Indians had no set stan dard rules for the game, no set number of players, no set num ber of goals, and no set distance between goals, and the game must, therefore, have "been ex ceedingly more difficult than the present day game. v v The origin of the name is doubtful, one explanation 1 ha v7 ing it that a missionary likened the stick used by the Indians in playing the game to a bishop's crozier, therefore calling the game la crosse. Another is to the effect that a group of white men on Lac He a. La Crosse in northern Saskatchewan once watched the game played be tween two Indian teams and called it after the name of the island. The former is believed to be the better explanation. It was in 1840 that the game was first taken up by white men, when a lacrosse team was or ganized in Montreal. The sport developed rapidly in Canada, so that by 1867 it had become the Canadian national game, which position it still holds in Canadian sportsdom. . From Canada it spread rap idly to the United States and England, where its invasion re sulted in the organization of a large number of independent clubs and college teams. In the United States Maryland early became the.: center of lacrosse activity and Jhas since held th'at position v in the lacrosse world. Although Harvard, Columbia, and New York University were the first colleges in this country to take -up the - game, Balti morearis are said to have intro duced the game at Princeton, Yale Pennsylvania, Stevens and Lehigh. With these colleges as nucleus, the spread of the CAROLINA LOSES IN GOLF TOURNEY Alabama's Crimson Tide golf team won the Southern Confer ence intercollegiate golf tour ney at Shades .Valley Country Club, Birmingham, Ala., Thurs day, with an aggregate team score of 614. - The Florida 'Gators golf team was second in this match.

The American record is 11,000, which was the attend ance at the finals of the Olympic playoff between Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland in 1928. : ' The sentiment of the people of Holland, who saw the la crosse contest between Johns Hopkins and an English team at the Olympic games in 1928, is well expressed by the following extract from the "Algemeen Handelsblad" (Amsterdam) : "Lacross, as it - was demon strate, gives the impression of being an interesting, stimulat ing, exciting and fast game. It demands great speed, quick de cision, initiative on the part of the individual, a world of back bone, and a firm hand." This spring over 50 college teams and 25 independent clubs are actively engaged in the sport, while a large increase in the numbers is expected next year. As the qualities of the game- its speed and excitement, its lack of involved technical rules, and the fact that it is one of the few college games which requires no extensive training become better known, the game wnl find a place on every college sport curriculum- and an inter ested public to support the game. More than $800,000 worth of golf balls were imported nto the United States last year. 1 ODD Most of us know that there is one day set aside for bur best friend Mother. . Next Sunday is Mother's Day.
