Elizey played star ball all thf week in left field. His sensa tional catches and robbing a number of hits bought numer ous cheers from the grandstane. Barksdale sustained an injury in the second game with Mereer, and Simril held -the catchei's place for the remaining gam(s. His work behind the bat was good, except in the last of the series with Mercer, his first in tercollegiate game, and he promises to make Carolina an exceptional catcher in the fu ture. The second and third of the series with Mercer went to the Georgians as'a result of the im proved work on their part. The hits in the second game were equally divided, but the error less fielding of Mercer prevent ed Carolina from scoring. The third game was more exciting than the first, but the C.&"Amcocks couldn't prevent the Georgians from putting-five runs across the home plate to their two. Harbison's men won their first game against Carolina Fri Jay with a score of 5-0. Caro lina's men played well, but Sea born, in right, was the only man who could get a hit off of the three pitchers of the Comers' staff. The coaching of .Bill Clark showed better in the last game against the Comers on Saturday, when the Gamecocoks won by,a score of 9 to 8.

A scene in German student life added variety to the regular program. The quartette is composed of Meigs Stannard, first tenor: Frank Sims, second tenor, J. W. Wilkes, first bass; and E. P. Hodges, second bass. During the first part of the program the quartette sang "0 Lonely Night" (Barcarolle) and then gave a contrast in "Down on the Old Yazoo." In the second part of the program the quartette sang an old English ballad and "Old Black Joe.'" The last named number was the best of the even ing's entertainment. The scene from German stu dent life was new, as a feature of the regular program. Those taking part in this acted as though it were.an every day oc curance in which they them selves participated. Prof. Potts arranged this number and train ed the men in their parts. The scene was based upon his own experience as a student in Ger many. Prof. Wardlaw at N. C.
