Good Game for Carolina-Played Many Second Team Men, But Nothind Could Have Been Better. In the first out of town game of t:e season on Saturday, the 9th, the Uni versity took the South Carolina Mili tary Academy team into camp. Caro ina was forced to play under the S. . A. A. rules, which ran many of the secon(l string men into the game. The N eterans, however, coul(l not have up held the honor of their alma mater any better than did their understudies. These young gentlemen traveled to Charleston and put up the game of ilhtir lives. Their hitting was timely and the fielding was of the stowall variety. The cadets were entirely un able to connect with Wyche's delivery. and the big twirler deservedi a shut (Continued on Page Two.) Great Exhibition Wednesday. In a magnificent exhibition on Wednesday evening Pinckney and Legare was downed by Harper and Elliott. Both teams rolled up over whelming scores, the final count being 26 to 23. Sensational errors were in dulged in by all members of both teams. But the feature of the evening was the old time slugging of the two squads. All bats were broken early in the game, and bed-slats were brought into play, witli wihich excellent batting was done by several of the players. The enthusiasm manifested by the spectators was considerably dampened when a batted ball killed a cow grazing in a lot near the Union (epot. Shandon Dance Postponed.

CAROLINA TAK[S 6) Strong North Carolina Team Prevented Gan1 Carolina's Varsity Nov On April 12, the University base ball team left Columbia on the North ern trip. The nine will journey through North Carolina and Virginia, playing A. & M. of North Carolina, Guilford, V. P. I., \Vashington and Lee, and V. M. I. The trip is a splendid one, and its capable arrange ment can be laid at the door of Man ager Graydon's efforts. The team is in fine shape, and is expected to give a good account of itself. In the first two gaies of the season, the Carolina boys were laboring under the d-isad vantage of playing against teams already far advanced in their season's work. Since then, however, the in field has settled down, and its work in the last two games bore a professional aspect. The outfield is speedv, and the pitchers in fine shape. The fol lowing men make up the squad: Gray don, Helser, Foxvorth, Waring, Me Mtillan, W-ideman, Owens, Havird, Baoeball S Carolina vs. A. & M. of ] Carolina vs. Davidson, at Carolina vs. Davidson, at Carolina vs. Charleston C Carolina vs. Citadel, at CI Carolina vs. A. & MV. of ] Carolina vs. Guilford CoIll Carolina vs. V.

Defeated in fast Game..Rain e With A. & M. r on Their Northern Trip. Simpson, Watts, Shaw, 1-arper and Wyche. IHere's looking at the whole bunch! The 'first game of the University's Northern trip turned out beautifully. In it Carolina defeated one of the strongest college nines of the South that of Guilford College. Guilford has previously tied the A. & M. of North Carolina team in a fourteen in ning battle. The game was full of ginger at all times, but the University team was never in danger. Harper held his opponents safe at all stages. Havird saved the game for Carolina at one juncture by a remarkable catch in left field. The hitting of Simpson, ,[Havird, and Widemni was sensational.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET TO BE HELD HERE. Teams Coming from Every Nigh School in State. May 7th the Date-Plans to Stir Up Athletics Over the State. On May 7tlh Carolina will entertain oil the campus one hundred, and pos sibly more young athletes from the high schools over the State. In view .)f tl.c fact that there has never been attemlpted an organization for t'ie ath letics of the high schools in the State, and knowing that only oiie or two high schools were doing anything along this :ine, our director of athlctics has pro posed, and is developig an athletic meet to take in all of the high schools in the State. He has heard fromu a !arge number of schools and is expect iig at least one hundred boys to take I art. The events will begin at 12 >'clock sharp, and an effort wil be made to run off the trials and scmi inals before dinner time, and in .he afternoon the field events and the finals of the track events wil! be rn ofi. It is planned to make this an annual .fifair, and to hold it at Carolina each ;er.. This vill mean much to our University, for it will bring men here "rom all over the State and wil! inter cst them in the place. Not on!v that, i)i:t it will be the means of, traw:ng men along the lines of athletics so that -yhen they come to us they will adready have had some experience. It is the natural thing for the man that wins on our field to feel well-disposed toward the place and to plan to come here eventually to college. The present plan is to have the Governor, the Mayur and one other person of prominence to act as judges. Mr. Riggs, of Clemson, has been in vited to act as the referee of tie meet. There will be ten events, embracing five each of track and field events. As there will be so many contestants it will be necessary to take the whole clay for the meet, and it is suggested that the University suspend classes at 12 o'clock so that all the students may attend. There will be an admission of (Continued on Page Your.1 Dr. Green Honored. Dr. ldwin L.
