Saturday 4 p. m. -Baseball game Oakridge vs Carolina. Preparations have been about completed for the Easter Week festivities. The Social Cabinet this week appointed the com mittees who are to have charge of the various functions, and all seems in readiness for a suc cessful affair. All learn with disappointment that the baseball games that were scheduled for the first part of the week were perforce can celed. Our team was to play Muhlenberg on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, but owing to the fact that League Park will be in use and our diamond is not in shape the games had to be called off. It is for the same reason that we were able to play only one game with Guilford. However, there will be one game with Oak Ridge on Saturday. The manager is trying to make arrangements with the Columbia club of the South Atlantic League for one or two games with them sometime during the week. These games are the only events that have been cut out of the original program and the track meet with Wofford has been made a certainty. Colum bia College and the College for Women are enjoying their East er holiday now, but the girls will be back in plenty time for the reception Wednesday night. The news that the girls are off DR. GEORGE F. TIBBITTS ADDRESSED Y. M. C. A. Noted Lecturer Presented "A Trip Around the World." 200 Colored Slides Illustrated the Highly Intellectual Travel. Dr. George F. Tibbitts, of New York, addressed the Y. M. C. A. at its regular meeting Wednesday night. The subject of the lecture was, "A Trip Around the World." Because of the large crowd the meeting was held in the University chapel. The lecture was an in tellectual trip around the world. Much interest was added to the address by the showing of 200 colored slides. The perfect blending of the charming colors in many tints, the natural beauty and picturesqueness of the cites and countries shown, and the enthusiasm of the speaker made one of-the most interesting pro grams of the year. The Varsity Quartette sang one hymn. The speaker began with Africa and showed the deplorable con ditions in that country. Next he travelled through England, India and European and Asiatic countries. Many pictures of the actual conditions of United States were shown. The slides of Mexico together with Mr. Tibbitts' words outlined clearly the cause of the present Mexian war. The vast resources of South America were clearly brought out in both the slides and the lecture. The lecture closed with mental and actual pictures of Japan and China. All pictures tended to bring out the fact that "The world's conquest" is far from com pleted and that it is incumbent on the English speaking people to complete it. The lecture was the most charming of its kind of the year. for a week was heard with some apprehension on the part of the students, but since it is learned that they will be back in time for the reception all is well. So even with the two baseball games canceled there will still be enough doing to give every body a good time. Every student should pay the necessary twent-five cents, so as to qualify to vote for the Easter IQueen. The vote will be by bal lot on Monday between 10 and 12 o'clock at the Marshal's office. VIRGINIA WESLEYANS LOSE DOUBLE-HEADER Carolina Wins Games by the Scores of 6 to 5 and 6 to 4. University Shows Great Im provement Over Series with Lafayette--Martin the Hero. Carolina won both games of the double-header with West Virginia Wesleyan Monday by scores of 6 to 5 and 6 to 4. The 3econd game was called at the snd of the fifth inning on ac 2ount of darkness. The two victories may be ac eounted for by the opportune hitting of the Gamecock squad together with loose fielding and wildness of the visiting pitchers. Adams started the first game for the University team and pitched well, although at times his sup port was erratic. He was taken :ut in the seventh inning to al low Martin to bat for him. The latter came through with a hard hit to centre, starting the rally that gave Carolina the victory. [n the three innings he worked, Martin held the West Virginians scoreless. The first game was a see-saw affair, first one team would forge ahead and then the other. However, Carolina sewed the game up in the seventh inning. Two hits, an error and a sacri fice fly to short right field brought two runs over the rub ber. SECOND GAME. Martin was sent to the mound again in the second game and but for errors he would have held the visitors to one run. As in the first game, the Wesleyans were the first to score But by hard and opportune hitting of Wagner's delivery, Carolina soon overcame a two-run lead. The game was of short duration. An agreement had been made tc play seven innings, but at the end of the fifth Umpire Connie Lewis called the game on ac count of darkness. Martin was going strong at the finish and had the opposing team well in hand. The game ended 6 to 4 in favor of Carolina. Smith's hitting featured both games, he securing two hits in five times up in the first game and two hits, one a double, in three appearances in the second. For the visitors, Neale, short. stop and captain, played jam-upj ball, hitting and fielding well. DAVIS FIELD FENCE WELL UNDER WAY Contract for Grandstand Has Been Awarded. Posts are Being Set- Boards Will be Tacked on Next Week-Temporary Stands. After several days delay, work has been resumed on the fence around Davis Field. The posts have been placed, and the other material has arrived. The con struction committee had a squad of students at wnrk each after noon during the past week. Mr. Blackburn's gymnasium classes have been taking their exercise by lifting the posts and carrying them from one part of the field to where they were needed. Last but not least, Professor Cook's manual training class has been exercising their skill at carpentry each afternoon. At present they are preparing the I posts for setting. With this aid great progress has been made during the past week toward constructing the fence. The grandstand will be begun as soon as the material is on the field, and it is expected that it will be completed for the High School Track Meet to be held here on April 23. However, tempo rary seats will probably be bor rowed for the baseball games to come off before that date. Holiday Monday. Next Monday, April 5, is to be a holiday. This is the annual Easter Week holiday, and is set aside as a day of festivity for the students. Note of Thanks.
