her this year. h'lhe course has cerl
tainly afforded mucli instruction and
enjoyment, especially to the music

In Two Great Battl
and Da'
Game Monday Fast and Snappy
Goes to Davidson 4-3.
In a fast game last Monday after
iio-n Carolina lost to 1)avidson by the
score of -1-:3. A large crowd was
present, and the supporter.; of the op
posing teams were enthusiastic and
"outspoken" in their exclamations to
their teams.
The game was largely a pitchers'
battle. Neither si(e was able to get
away with iany hits, four being the
sum total that either side got. Wyche,
for Carolina, pitched a beautiful game.
\"lln e,}Ul992 pagsageto first
was unaccommodating as regards hits.
The score, -1-3, however, is not sug
gestive of the idea the Carolina man
holds regarding the game. For up to
the seventh inning the score was 3 to
1, on the proper side of the ledger,
and looked like it was going to stay
so. Bit the seventh, that same ol
seventh, proved to be an inning of
interest.
Cashion, the first man up, walked.
Whitener bunted, and both were safe.
Cashion went on to third, and on an
attempt to fell him by the waysidce,
Whitener got to second. Tabor then
singled to left and Cashion and White
ier scored. Tabor reached second on
a balk, and on McCant's bunt got to
third. everybo(ly being safe. 1-e
score(d by a narrow margin, when
\Vyche tried to catch McCants off
first. This eided the scoring of the
game.
In the seventh Carolina had men on
seconl and thir(d, and it looked as if
there might be soletlilg doing. The
squeeze play, however, was not a sue
cess, for a pop fly resulted and a
(oulble play was made.
In the ninth it looked as though the
score might he tie(L. McSween, the
first man ill), bunted and was safe at
Iirst everybody thought, except the
umpire. The bases were afterwards
full and the excitement w\,as intense,
when it seemue(l that the score might
he tied. iut this was not to be. A
groinder to secol completed the trio
of outs, ald the game wenit to Davi(l
