SPORTING BRIEFS. One letter in a word can change the meaning of a whole article. In last week's "Sport ing Briefs" we said in connection with baseball, "we are weak in spots," which was printed "we are weak in sports," an entirely different idea. Carolina can hardly be said to be weak in sports-athletic or otherwise. The opening game with Yale went against us on account of one bad inning. Failure to lo cate the plate was the trouble. However, next time we take the Eli boys on we hope to be in bet ter condition to entertain them. What about a little more pep at the games! Are you satis fied with the demonstrations put up at the P. C. game? Let's show the team we're behind them by making a little more noise. Doesn't the old pill look fine as it sails over the center field fence for a homer! We expect to see a few go over by the homer route this season, for we have demonstrated our ability to hit. Let's keep it up. What about arranging a few tennis tournaments for this spring! If we are to win the State tournament we need to take on some competition before hand. Several colleges in this State would be glad to take up on for a tournament. Get busy and arrange it, varsity mana gers. The State' Prep School track meet held last Saturday revealed some excellent material for Caro lina varsity teams. We believe we have made a good impression on these boys. Let's keep in be hind them this summer. The cinder paths are being put into nice shape on Davis field and every afternoon aspirants are doing their best to get into shape quickly. We expect some good work from them in later meets and present indications are that our expectations will be fulfilled. EXCHANGES. The New York Athletic Club's representatives scored m o r e points than those of any other college or organization on the American Olympic team at Ant werp. Yale and Harvard Universi ties have together challenged Oxford and Cambridge Univer sities to a track meet to be held late in June in Boston. No reply has, as yet, been received. Recent registration figures show that the University of Pensylvania is the most cosm oPolitan institution in the coun 'try. In addition to drawing students from eery + sat inth union, forty-five foreign coun tries are represented on the ros ter of students. A new ruling by the authori ties of Ohio University auto matically "flunks" a student who receives three unexcused "cuts" in any subject. Here tofore three unexcused absen cens were usually passed by and allowed. Charles Paddock, University of Southern California and Olym pic star, clipped two-fifths of a second off the world's record for the 220-yard dash in a regular meet against the University of California at Berkeley. Four watches caught his speed at 20 4-5 seconds and one at 20 3-5. Paddock earlier in the day won the 100-yard dash, his time in that event equaling the world's record of 9 3-5 seconds. The senior council, elected by the undergraduates, will here after pass upon Princeton's morals and be empowered to deal with students who "tend to lower the moral 'tone and the good name of Princeton," university authorities announce. The ac tion is a step in the evolution of the Princeton honor system, which has been in effect since 1893. Power is vested in the senior council to investigate cases against fellow students and to recommend dismissal from the University by faculty committee, without submitting the evidence upon which the rec ommendation was based. STUDENTS AID IN STAGE SOCIETY PLAY. University students have play ed important parts in the plays given by the Columbia State So ciety this season. Much interest has been shown in this organi zation by Carolina students and their services in connection with nroductions have been valuable from time to time. The next play presented by the society will be "Nearly Mar ried," which will be shown on April 18, 19 and 20th. Alex Waite, well known football star at Carolina, will play the part of the mischievous friend of the leading man ; Charles Gee, who made such a hit as the French waiter in "The Dummy," will do another waiter job. Edwin Folk will contribute one of the most interesting character stu d(ies of the season in the role of 'a Yankee constable. The usual four performances will be given. Famous Games. Dead sports. Tie -s of chance. Drop the handkerchief. Olympic s. World Series Sunday night' African golfers TEN WAYS TO KILL A LITERARY SOCIETY The following was found in The Phoenix, of Swarthmore College, Pa., and applies the world over. These have been constantly practiced by many members of our literary societies and unless remedied will produce results suggested. They, are as follows: 1. Don't go to the meetings, or if you go, go late. 2. If you don't like one of the officers, don't think of going. 3. If you do attend a meeting, prove yourself a big man by skill fully finding fault with the work of the offcers and members. 4. Never accept office, as it is easier to criticize than to do things. Also refuse to accept office on account of much work makes you look like a magnani mous leader. 5. Get sore if you are not ap pointed on committees, but if you are, do not attend meetings. 6. If you are asked by chair man to give your opinion on some matter, tell him you have nothing to say. After the meet ing tell every one how things should be done. 7. When certain members use their abilities to help things along howl that the institution is run by a clique. 8. Pay your dues late or not at all. 9. Play fraternity politics. 10. Don't bother about getting new members. "Let George do it." Had Made a Start. Elbert Hubbard used to tell one concerning a man who con sulted a physician. The doctor examined him for a while, theni rendered his opinion: "The trouble with you, my friend, is wine, women, and song. You better cut 'em out quick. Two dollars, please." A few weeks later the man called again. "Doc," he pleaded, "I feel like the devil; can't you do some thing for me?" "Did you do as I advised you," asked the doctor, "in regard to cutting out wine, women and song?" "W Aell, I'll tell you, doc," an swered the afflicted one, "I sort o' compromised--I quit singing." Mean Men You May Not Have Known. The story is told about a man who used to give nickels at tached to strings to blind men. As the blind man was thanking him he would snatch back the nickel and roar with laughter. It seems he was a brother of the man who paid his young son ten cents to miss his supper. When the lad was asleep the man took the dime out of his pocket and whipped him the next morn ing for losing it. Both of these men (being brothers) had an old uncle who took his sausage skins back to the butcher to have them refilled. -Wisconsin Octonnus.
