Working to Convince Coach
Crawford of Their Abil
ity to Represent Caro
lina on the Track.
Track interests are being fos
tered in great style at Carolina
with the approach of balmy
spring days. Prospects for a
winningj team are exceptionally
bright and Coach Crawford's ef
forts are daily showing results.
A renewed interest in track ath
letics at the University promises
to bring about a decided im
provement in the sport and this
year's team is determined to set
a precedent on the track.
With the return of six letter
men and a promisng array of
new materal it is very evident
that Coach Crawford will soon
b able to make things hum.
Among the old men back are:
Burney L. Smith, captain, and
higher jumper and sprinter ; E.
B. Smith, jumper and hurdler;
H. R. E. Hampton, middle dis
tance man and hurdler; T. E.
Sifford, middle distance man; S.
D. Ervin, pole vaulter and high
jumper; W. C. Mann, sprinter
and broad jumper; W. L. Refo,
a miler, and Alex Waite, shot put
and javelin thrower.
Several meets are being ar
ranged with colleges in North
South Carolina and at the close
of the season Carolina will enter
the S. I. A. A. meet which will
be held this year at the Uni
versity of the South, Sewanee,
Tenn.
BIBLE STUDY GROUPS
DO GOOD WORK.
The Bible Mission Study
groups under the auspices of
the University Y. M. C. A. are
well under way and are prog

initial meeting the aV*tendance
has been splendid and is increas
ing each week. A series of six
meetings will be held, upon the
completion of which a "feed" will
be tendered those composing the
winning class.
It is hoped that every-man on
the campus will affliate himself
with one of these groups and en
