With one more conference game on its schedule the Tar Heels need to lick VMI in Chapel Hill Saturday to claim the loop title. Bill Mock, whom the Tar Heels belt ,ed from the night game in Greens boro Saturday, handcuffed Bunn Hearn's men here today with five hits. Charlie Rich's round-tripper in the seventh accounted for Carolina's only score. While the Tar Heels were failing to hit with the regularity which had marked the first two games of the series, Red Benton was losing his first game of " the season. Duke punched out 10 hits, including a two-run homer and a triple. The loss was Red's first after winning four straight games. Having copped the first two games of the series, Carolina appeared slight ly off form in today's tilt. The time ly hitting and" the fast, accurate in field play was missing.

H ess Delivers Valuable Information Planned Escape Three Months Ago LONDON, May 15 (Thursday) (UP) Rudolph Hess, in a secret meet ing with the Duke of Hamilton after .his bizzarre "peace flight" to Brit ain, handed, over valuable information "of great use to the Britishyin over throwing the tyranny now existing in the Reich," it was stated authoritative ly early today. Hess himself proposed that the in formation be used to crush Adolph Hitler's "tyranny," the press associa tion said, presumably after British military authorities had granted his request that he be permitted to talk with the duke. The number three Nazi leader and deputy fuehrer was revealed to have met the young Duke in a rendezvous near Glasgow immediately after his sensational parachute landing ' Satur day night on the duke's estate. Simultaneously it was revealed that Hess began laying the groundwork for his sensational flight three months ago when he wrote to the Duke frantically urging an attempt to end the "lunatic" war between Germany and Britain by negotiation.

As he picked pebbles out of his blackened feet, Hardy said "That up set Tuesday by those lucky juniors only served to pull us out of our leth argy; anyway, it was only a practice game. Well sing a victory song at our banquet tonight." Duke Power Reports from the distant gothic maze revealed that the Duke's had amassed a galloping galaxy of soft ball talent, composed mostly of letter men. Senior coach Jimmy Hambright j received the report with quaking) hands yesterday, but expressed no worry. The probable line-up for today's battle of brain and brawn includes sprightly Gates Kimball, receiving the rocket pitches of Jimmy Hambright, stalwart Luther JHodges pinning first base to the turf, Ed Erickson sitting; on second, and Harold Austin dust ing off third. Cecil Wooten will duck as shortstop, flying - Jim Lalanne swooping as short-field, Herily Og burn pacing out in right field, the Herb Hardy backed up in the bushes of center field, and last but not least, Ike Grainger escorting left field. Pulling splinters and warming the bench will be Steve Forrest, Willis Kimrey, Roy Connor, Mac Edwards, Bill Conley, George Wilkinson, Bob Smith, and George Radman. Masking plaintive sadness with drunken laughter, the seniors gather in the University cafeteria tonight at 8:30 for the annual informal banquet. The ribald laughter is guaranteed to be uncontrollable as athlete Bob Herm- son fills in the lulls with crazy antics between the music of Johnny Satter field's orchestra featuring Willie Har graves.

Last Day Junior-Senior Dance Bid Issuance Closes Today r lit if 1 1 BILL ALEXANDER, chairman of the Junior dance committee, an nounced that juniors may receive dance bids from him at the Y today, the last day that they will be avail able. V Carnegie Tech Ban Stirs Interest in Ex-Governor Campus interest in Phil La Follette's speech tonight at 8 o'clock reached a new high yesterday, CPU officials said, in view of the disclosure that faculty members had banned him at the last min ute at Carnegie Tech last week, because of his views. : Leaders said that the interest in A i it nil n- ! Phil LaFollette Hobbs To Edit Handbook Freshman Book Presents TJNC Life Hunt Hobbs, rising junior and ac tive member of the YMCA, was ap pointed editor of the 1941 freshman handbook, Y publications committee announced yesterday. Feature editor of Tar an Feathers and member of the Di senate, tennis team, and DKE fraternity, Hobbs has had "wide experience in campus af fairs." The appointment was in keep ing with the Y's policy of represent ing all phases of Carolina life in the handbook. Sent out by the University to allj accepted, freshmen, the freshman handbook' is the first introduction of the first year men into their new life at Carolina. While perhaps it will not prevent future freshmen from rushing into the Carolina Inn next fall and asking what fraternity it is, the handbook helps to prepare high school seniors for college 4if e. More than a guide and moral warning, the handbook is an excellent substitute for hazing and other customs which are so often relied upon to get hay seed out of freshman hair. Each freshman handbook takes the colors of the class just graduated so that every four years the colors are repeated. The seniors now about to graduate pass on red and black for the class of '45. Available for the last time today, junior-senior bids will be given out in the Y from 10:30 until 12 this morn ing and from 2 until 5 this afternoon, dance committees of the two upper classes announced yesterday. Ducats for admission to the Pastor concert tomorrow afternoon are still en sale from dormitory presidents and from any member of the Daily Tar Heel staff for 25 cents. The official junior-senior bid does not include ad mission to the concert, Ott Burton, senior dance chairman, announced yes terday. Stringent regulations regarding the issuance of bids have been set in ef fect by the dance committees. Juniors and seniors must present their iden tification cards or an authorization from the Cashier's office to obtain the bids. Their names will be checked off a master list from South building rec ords as they apply today. The set of bids are transferable, however. Tony Pastor, recently termed the "Best Band of 1941," will play for the set of four dances and the concert. Radio station WPTF of Raleigh will See JUNIOR-SENIORS, page 2. LaFollette's speech, though his views do not by any means express the "majority viewpoint," was the finest example of Carolina's liberal heri tage. Anti-War Leader . LaFollette, a vigorous anti - war leader will attack recent administra tion policies tonight, that he claims are leading the country to war. Son of the late "Fighting Bob," who ran for president on the Progressive ticket in 1924, and brother of Bob LaFollette, senior senator from Wis consin he has always stood with mid western isolationists. At present he i3 head of the Pro gressive party, and recently testified against the Lend-Lease bill before the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Open Forum Staunch opposition to LaFollette will arise tonight during the open forum from student and faculty mem bers who have consistently favored Roosevelt, and the policy that he has followed.. LaFollette, three times governor of Wisconsin, asserts that America's job lies in the Western Hemisphere, that peace should be our objective, so that we may cope with problems arriving out of the post-war "disaster." He sees no point in America's fight ing, and claims that all America got out of the last war was the cost of 50 billion dollars and the enmity of all Europe. - The fight as he sees it, is between the war party that wants to preserve "yesterday," and those who want to make "tomorrow" a place where Amer ica can survive. : LaFollette will arrive this morning in Greensboro, and come to Chapel Hill in time for lunch this afternoon. He will be entertained at a banquet in his honor tonight. He will be en See LAFOLLETTE, page 4.

The plans drawn up by this com mittee will include a three-body gov ernment, honor and interdormitory councils, and a quasi-legislative sen ate. The completed plan will be pre sented to the coeds next week for final criticism and suggestions and a ote on reorganization will then be taken. If the plan is passed, the new sys tem will go into effect the last week of school, in order to be in working order at the beginning of next year, Miss Caldwell said. No Sheepskin Unless- Half the senior class will not stalk under the Kenan sun next month and receive the cherished sheepskins if they do not get measured for caps and gowns in the Y from 10:30 to 11 o'clock .or from 2 until 5 o'clock.
