Letter from Chapel Hill.
To the Gold Leaf.

Chapel Hill, n. c., March 21, 1910.
A stronger interest is being evinced in
music this spring than has been evinced
by the students in the last college gener-
alton. The custom OF singing alter sup
per is becoming more prevalent. The
cherry song of haphazard groups, gath
cred at favorite lounging places, or wand
ering about the campus, often cause dis
tant students to respond with quicker
step or other songs.
The musical association has been more
effectively organized with r. S. McNeill,
president; C. Woollew, director; and ].
G. Beard, business manager The band
under the leadership of w. B. Ellis adds
to the interest. and spirit OF the ball
games. The Glee Club and Orchestra
are practicing daily. Twenty-six men
have been chosen out OF the number OF
candidates for places in the Orchestra
and Glee Club.
The Glee Club and Orchestra will give
performances in eight towns of the State.
Manager Beard has arranged the follow
ing excellent schedule: Winston-Salem,
March 26; Chapel Hill, March 81; Will
son, April 4; Tarboro, April 5; Colds
boro, April 6; New Bern, April Z; Will
mington, April 8; and Fayetteville, April
8. The performance in Winston Salem
will be the night of the David
son game in that city. The two teams
will occupy opposite boxes that night
in the theatre and their songs and cheers
in friendly rivalry will complete the
collegiate touch. The second appearance
will be in Gerard Hall during Junior
Week and will be featured along with
Corol;Do WoIo Enracf frooE moot
the Senior Stunt, and the Junior Prom
cnade. Soon after the appearance here
the Glee Club and Orchestra will leave
for the Eastern North Carolina trip in a
specially appointed private car. The
number of the men and the closeness
of the engagements has made this luxury
necessity. Good houses have been
promised in all the towns. In several OF
the towns patronesses are lending their
| influence and prestige to the scheduled
occasion. From all reports the G1ee
Club and Orchestra are the best of recent
years The songs are catchy, the airs
are breezy, and the whole background is
distinctly collegiate. The many ap-
pearances of the Glee Club and Orches-
ira will give large number OF the peO-
pie OF the State an opportunity to get
another glimpse of college life and to
| breathe again the pleasant atmosphere
| OF the University campus.
The base ball season opened last week
| with the Bingham (of Mebane) game. AS
| the Bingham team was composed OF sew
eral professionals and professionals
| the victory of the Carolina amateurs
| gives promise of another championship
record. Bob Howard, Wilmington's star
slabman last summer, was hit rather
| freely by the Carolina team. Stewart
who was on the firing line for Carolina
struck out eleven and yielded but three
hits. Fl ackney's hitting and fielding was
the feature OF the game. Carolina's line
up was: Swink and Pool, catchers
Stewait, Capt. pitcher; Hamilton, first
base; Duncan, second base; Tillett, shor1
stop; Armstrong, third base; Bivins, LEFT
field; Hackney, center field; and Rose
right field.
The second game was with Oak Ridge
which is also composed of several league
players, such as Earle Holt and Maberry
professors in the school and former play
ers OF Wilson, and Clapp, third basemar
for Greensboro. There was no scoring
until the tenth inning and Oak Ridge
made three in her half and Carolina by {
sensational batting rally, after two mel
were out, sent four men across the plat,
with the game. Buie's work at shor
for Carolina and Moores hitting wer
among the features of the game.
DIR. c. W. Stiles, of Washington City
gave an illustrated lecture on the hook
worm last week. DR.. Stiles has made {
study of the hookworm in all the South
cru States and is possessed of accurat'
statistics concerning the awful ravage
of this disease. He urged the co-opera
tion OF North Cardinals leading educa
tional centre in stamping out this scourg
to the South.
