UNIVERSITY'S FINE RECORD Many Hard Games Played and Woh.-'"'he Team Took an Extended. Northern. Trip, Carolina's crack team closed its sea son May 8th on Davis' field with:a game .against Clemson,..winning eight ganies and losing five, making her per cent. 615. For the fitst-time in the history of athletics at Carolina the baseball team took a northern trip, and there, trav eling every day, won three games and lost two against such teams as David son and Virginia. At Virginia, un daunted by the fame of the demi-god Walker, our boys. waded into him for some few hits with extra sacks attach ed to a couple of them, defeating Vir ginia by a score of 6 to 5. The wtiole team deserves great credit for their work. Captain Belser had a good team 'behind hifn and he held thlem together well in every game. Manager . Cooper deserves commendation for starting the prece dent of taking a northern trip. This ..has done more towards advertising the collegg jhan half the literature.-sent out. tojci Reid put forth his every effort to give Carolina the best team possible and the .record of the team shows how vell he succeeded. The team worked in perfect harmony from the,k6ve of, and for the good of, Caro lina, which without doubt contributed in no small degree to our success. Captain Belser will again lead the Garnet and Black, having been re elected at a -recent squad meeting. The advisory board elected for the .ensuing year , C. T. Graydon, of Greenwood, S.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS ARE PROMISNG Everything . in Readiness for the Coming Season. A HARVARD STAR WILL COACH A Great Number.ol the Old Team Will Come, Back.-Manager Simpson Has Completedthe'Schidule. .Carolina's new coach for the .ap proachliig season's football season is Mr. 'Robert V. White, one of Har vard's finished athletic products. He is now in his football prime. For three years he has played on .Har vard's 'football team at fullback, half back and other positions, ~and he has, on every occasion, shown himself to be efficicnt. Coach White knows the foctball business, .not only in the backfield where he plays regularly, but all along the line. He 'has - played every posi tion on the te4n except qiuarterback and center. Quick t.hought and quick action in critical. momekits of a game have always d.istinguished.-his playing. He has always been there with-the goods,?o to speak; ind t-he gb6d' are aLWooland-a-yArd-wide- when they are-delivered by;Coach White. That he is a skilled football player is also attested by the fact that during the three or' fotr weeks of football practice at Harvard this spring, he has held the position of coach in the back field. -- During last season, lie had charge of the defensive coaching of the backfield and line at HArvard. Coach White comes to us highly recommended. We quote the recom mendation of Mr. Percy D. Horton, coach at Harvard, 19o8-19o9: "I have known Mr. Robert V. White for sev eral years, and have no hesitation in stating that h is one of the best full backs-I have seen in years. Not only is his playing skillful, but it is also distinctly intelligent. For this reason f feel that his knowledge of the game is superior to that of the ordinary players, and that he would make a good coach who understands thor oughly the handling of men." This is only one out of many recommenda tions, all of which speak as favora bly as this one. With a skillful atid' able coach and the aggressive spir'it of this institu tioni working in harmony, we feel that the light of a grander day is falling fair on1 Carolina's football record. The prospdcts for the approaching season are indeetl bright. Capt. Ham mond ind- Manager Simpson express themselvd as feeling confident that Carolina is 'going to put out ani able, winning football team this season. There is a plan on foot, and we be lieve and hope that it will seed,- to JUNIORS NTERTAINED DEPARTING SENIORS Craven.aill- "tings With Merriment of College Boys. DEUGITFUL COURSE SERVED The Occasion Was One of the Most Delight. fulo.f the Years.-Several Eine -Speeches Made. The -tiventy-seven' members of the last- "naughty. class" were feasted by the Juniors on Saturday night inr Craven Hall. The banquet was a revival pf the Carolina custom \which, up to two years ago, was closely adhered, to by. each Junipr class. The <lass of .191< did their best to. show the class of i909, who -were once their dearest enemies, that they bore them no mali ice for the many blackings Wh'ich they had received in their Freshman days .Toastmaster I. F. Belser preside4 with dignity over. the festive board. President- A. D. Oliphant,. "Class of 1909," proposed the -toast to the Se nior class. This was most heartOil iesponded o' by President B. fiutie cIass o 99, who caption'4 his remarks "Ohl You Juniors I" Profs. Bain, Colcock and Snow de- represented the -faculty. They each made a few remarks. Mr. C. T. Graydon, 'xo, made one of his usual effervescent speeches 6n "Euphuism." Mr. J.. C. Sheppard, '09, closed the occasion with an eloquent "Fareell. have the football players back at Car olina by the middle of September. Our team has in it the grain that makes a strong and winning team, but it is yoang and needs practice. If the play ers can get back here by the middle of September they will certainly be in better condition 'When the season opens up, and that is what counts in football.
