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.

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

Shandon Dance Postponed.
The dance at the Shandon pavilion,
scheduled for Friday night, will take

dance was postponed. The dance is to
be held under the auspices of the Ger
man Club, and is in the hands of Mr.
H. 13. Thomas, treasurer of the club.

Strong North Carolina Team

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

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
