Students Tossed Grenades
In University's 1918 Drills
By Carey Hayes
A brown hoard of men swept down
the main campus, hand grenades hung
loosely in their hands. The hoard be
came three distinct lines of soldiers.
Suddenly, as the front line reached the
Confederate Statue, the. grenades were
hurled in a high looping lob toward
Franklin Street.
And so War came to Chapel Hill in
the winter of 1917.
In 1915 the first suggestion was
made that military training be intro
duced at the University, but the '18
Y-Y says "it met with little favor."
' Some months later a chapter of the
National Security League was or
ganized, , but the organization died
from lack of interest. Again in the
spring of 1916 an attempt was made
to introduce - some form of military
training, yet there was still no re
sponse from a student body only
slightly aware of a raging world war.
However, with the severance of dip
lomatic relations with Germany a
University Battalion was quickly
formed. It drilled an hour each night,
"without uniforms, and without
(rifles, and merely under the tutelage
of students and faculty members."
Mr. Cone, of Greensboro, gave the
University 180 "obsolete Civil War
carabines." About eight per cent of
the student body took the "course."
In a few swift months the Univer
sity became little more than an arm
ed camp. Twelve hours a week were

Get 13 Runs
In Two Frames
Victory Is First
Scored Over Duke
At Greensboro
By Harry Hollingsworth
MEMORIAL STADIUM,
Greensboro, May 10. Explod
ing 13 base hits for 13 runs in
the last two innings, Carolina
came from behind to defeat
Duke here tonight, 14-7.
The win the first Carolina
has ever secured over, Duke in
Greensboro placed the Tar
Heels and Blue Devils in a tie
for the Southern conference lead
and increased the Tar Heels'
lead over the Devils in the Big
Five race.
Led by the booming bats of
Ben Browning, who had his best
record at bat this year, and big
Bo Reynolds, who sent four
runs across the plate, Carolina bat
tered Bill Mock from the mound in
the eighth inning and continued the
attack upon Bill McCahan in the ,
ninth.
John "Lefty" Cheshire, who de
feated the Devils twice last year,
started the game for the Tar Heels

series, with Red Benton and Bill

but retired in the eighth for a. pinch
hitter. Hank Feimster relieved him
but walked the first two men who
faced him. Fearing that Hank would
be unable to find the plate, Coach
Hearn sent in Red Benton who finish
ed the game and got credit for the
win.
Duke tied the score in the eighth at
7-all after Benton took over, but the
Tar Heels' ninth inning blast which
saw 12 men go to the plate, present
ed the Wilson righthander with
enough ' working margin to make
everything safe.
In leading the Tar Heels' attack
Browning and Reynolds had four hits
apiece. Al Mathes had two hits and

search was continued in the chemis
try building.
The day started at 6 o'clock with
reveille and taps sounded at ten. No
one could leave the campus without a
special permit, and there was night
ly patrolling of the grounds by mili
tary police. All dormitories had been
turned into barracks, and the YMCA
had become an Army " Y" hut. The
University even issued extension leaf
lets dealing with the question of the
war. . x -
Down on the football field a mile of
trenches, modeled on those in France,
had been built and was the daily work
shop of the University Battalion. Here
they practiced "going over the top,"
and a straw dummy of the Kaiser was
provided for instruction in the use of
the bayonnets and a repository for
the epithets of the budding army.
All the peace of the Hill had been
destroyed to erect in its place an army
of the student body. .
Remember the cartoons of a year
ago this spring depicting the football
squad going over the trenches?
In 1917 they did it.
Caps and Gowns
Cap and gown measurements will
be taken at the Y from 10:30 to 11
o'clock and from 2 to 5 o'clock every
day this week.
