Soon there is to be a big change in the athletics of Carolina. The Alumni are going to take control and Carolina is going to enter some athletic association. When this will come about and what will be the outcome, as yet we do not know. But we should know that whatever is done will most likely put ath letics of Carolina on a higher plane and that Carolina will be able to contend for the Southern or South Atlantic champion ships. The question that confronts us is, "Are 'the students of the University and especially the the athletics doing their part to help bring this about?" The an swer is certainly in the negative. Never in the history of this in stitution has there been less co operation in athletics; never l have members of the various athletic teams quit in mid-sea son as this; never have they re fused to come out to practice; never have members of the var sity of the previous years refused to come out at all. Such has been the case this year and tendency is growing worse. Will the Alumni support our athletics if this does not cease? Thei.answer is again negative. Of the four things mentioned above, it is better not to go out for the teams at all; but what ever is done, do not fool the coaches or lead hem to count on you for a certain position. Re fusal to come out for practice leads to a "fuss" with the coaches and then the players quit. You know what is said of a quitter. Do not blame the coaches. It is your own fault. Of course there may be some ex cuses but if what is said here. touches you it is your fault. If you are a member of a team and quit, you have taken up the coaches' time that could have, been spent on someone else; you are not only a drawback to the team, but you are a disgrace to the institution for you cause the loss of games that might have been won. Do not be a knocker! We do not knock. We simply point out the errors that you may correct them. Athletics is not a thing to be played with but it is a bus iness proposition. Let us all cooperate and help1 carry Carolina up to the place* she should hold in athletics.: Let our work be an attraction; for aid from the Alumni. H. C.
