Rolled back by the in-urmountable stone-wall defense which the Tech machine maintained, Coach Ashmore's men moved on up to Athens yesterday afternoon, for the first of their two-game series with the University Bulldogs. After today's game Coach Ashmore's men will entrain for Chapel Hill, arriving here in time to rest up for their encounter with the Demon Deacons in Wake Forest Monday afternoon. Westmoreland, Ellison, Whisnant, and Thomas were all used by Coach Ashmore in an effort to silence the batteries of the Jacket swatsmiths, but to no avail. In the first game they stung Westmoreland and Whisnant for a total of fourteen safe blows, winning the contest on one run scored in a ninth inning rally, and in the second game they lit on Thomas, Ellison, and Whisnant for seventeen more, thirty-one hits in the two engagements.

First Game See-Saw The first game was a free hitting affair with one team now taking the lead and then the next and with the outcome in doubt until the last of the ninth. The Tar Heels drew first blood when they scored two runs the first inning. The Jackets gathered one tally in the third, and in the fifth tinction by hard work.

Perry Writes A Play," by Bill Perry was decidedly clever throughout as a burlesque, but not as a play, although just why a burlesque of the Playraaker's mountain plays is needed is not obvious. Most of them have been perfect burlesque. Bill Perry as the aspiring young playwright managed the difficult monologue at the beginning of the play very well. His start was mechanical but he overcame this in a few moments. A.

It is certain that it did not Anita Darling, "the heroine who slaves and slaves," carried her part remarkably well, deftly presenting pantomine very essential for the success of the play.

Jim Hanner as Pa was well night perfect, simulating the lanky Playmaker mountaineer to perfection, also demonstrating his technique and evident ability as a tobacco-spitter to good advantage. John Harden as "a suppressed son of the sod" presented a graceful burlesque of the awkward hero who always arrives at a crucial moment with the inevitable funny-looking hat in one hand and a bouquet of wilted flowers in the other.

Jernigan's make-up was poor, and as the back-ground was light, this was unpardonable, and his face, when near the lights, was too youthful to be at all convincing.
