It is rumored about the campus
iat a certain member of the Faculty
!fused to subscribe to I 'ti ( GAM.:
OCK. He told the soliciting student
iat he had already subscribed to
wveral other college publications and
id not care to take the Bird. \Ve (10

iakes us ask the Business Manager

ate when a professor refuses to
!ad a publication that is gotten out

Root for the Ball Team.
The support that has been given
lir baseball team this year has been
cking in pep and ginger that has
laracterized it heretofore. The
leering at the games has been pitia
Iv weak, showing a lack of interest
ri the part of the students that is
)palling. The cheering on the
:hletic field are outbursts of college
>irit pure and simple. Of course,
e are all pulling for the team with
Il of our might, but what are we
ning for it ? 'here have been after
ronos when not a dozen fellows have
een on the side-line watching the
am practice. Fellows, is this sup
)rting the team? \Ve owe it to our
am and to our University to get
Lt and show the team our apprecia
on, and that we are all unitedly
acking them, not with mloney. but
ith a spirit that cannot be cast down
"ith defeat.
\Vith the sendoff that we shall
ice them, it is certain that the trip
,orth will be a series of victories.
Something Great is Coming.
TIhis year we have been fortunate
i taking part in mialy oratorical
intests, all of which have been
redlitable and on a high plane. It is
-te that the meti w-o rer-eseint thlie
niiver-sity- in these conitests hav-e to
-oirk like (logs and receive no "'Dip'
redlit for thieiri labors, btut ther-e is
ractical value and wvorth t hat r
-ard themi ini afteir life. There arec
NvO kinds of college men: those whlo
Pepreent and those who are rep)re
Lntedl. UTnder the first conme the
ebaiters and( orators wvho not onily
link, but mlake others think: and
ndeir the second,l the larger- ini numti
ers, colle those who think, but noti
101n(. \Withl this necessary di gres
iln we come1l to the qulestioln, the
' oither-n (OratorIical Contest this
car- will be held at Columubia tlinder
10 111l11lagel11cl1t of th1e I I'ersnt*e
Perhal)s no one can realize what
a great event this will be, for we are
used to attending society contests
and sometimes State contests. but
not within the last ten vears have
we had the opportunity to attend a
contest where practically all the
Southern universities are represent
e(l. Plans are now being rapidly
matured: the contest will be held in
Columbia Theat re t he marshals
have been elected" and the program
will soon be announced. The mal
agelelnt of this contest is entirely in
the hands of the University: if it is
a great success (as it must be) we
will get the credit: and if it is, a
failure (as it must not be) we will
get the discredit. Now, what we
want to lo is to talk up this thing;
support the representative and make
him win: tell all your friends about
it and let's pack that theatre with
an unequaled audience.
A Neglected Sport.
The Bird has from time to time
been guilty of having had wrung
from him a rather stinging skit in
regard to the lack of interest and
Iroler management of one of the
most attractive recreational branches
of college life-to wit: Tennis. So
here this indomitable fowl takes
pleasure great in relieving himself
of a few less caustic renarks on that
all-too-slighted subject.
Within the next week the courts
are to undergo a marked improve
ment. That on the Green will have
a brand new back-stop; while it and
the two best ones back of Rutledge
will be kept permanently lined-off.
Blooming out yet further the Tennis
Association expects to purchase
(with what ?) two heavy tarred nets
which will be put up l)before dinner by
the janitor of Rutledge and taken
down at night fall by the last player,
to be sheltered overnight in a (lefinite
specified closet or corner.
The ideal situation would be the
rigid observance of a notice loste(l
on the courts saying when and not
they were playable, depending upon
the rain, dampness and the recent
ness of marking-off with slimy. wet,
''gooey" lime. Compliance with this.
and the invariable use of correct ten
nis shoes, woul enable the manage
ment to keep things in shape.
As regards the intercollegiate out
look, all recall how we trimmiied
