BASKET BALL GETS NEW UNIFORMS And Northern Trip-Bright Prospects for Coming Season. Although basket ball is practically a new phase of athletics at Carolina, only having been organized last year, it is a game which is sure to gain favor with the public, and in terest in this sport is developing rapidly. Basket ball was at one time looked upon as a girl's game and college men were backward about participating in a game that was looked upon in this light, but this impression is fast dying out and the men will soon learn to back up basket ball as they do football and baseball. The football coach of last year, after seeing a game of basket ball, said that he could not let his meii play basket ball for fear that some of them might get killed, but it se.ems that this year's coach has a different opinion of the game and thinks that it is a good way to keep his men in training, for the foot ball men will also be basket ball players this year. The team is planning many big trips this year. V. M. 1. has already asked for a game with Carolina and Carolina's coach is corresponding with the Atlanta Athletic Associa tion, University of Virginia, Jeffer son College, and \Vashington and Lee. It is very probable that several if not all of these games will be ar ranged. There will be much hard work among the basket ball contestants to make the varsity to be able to make these trips, and another in ducenent is that the varsity will be provided with new uniforms. Although there is a fairly good number of men trying out for the team it is hoped that a good many more will go out. Literary Notes.
