BLUE RIDGI Eddy Cr, NOT DIFFICULT TO BE AMUSED AT BLUE RIDGE PROBLEM IS TO SELECT All Major Sports Except Football and Many Minor Ones Are Offered Finding some way to amuse oneself at Blute Ridge is the easiest matter in the world. There- all of the major sports except football and many of the minor ones, too, are provided for the ten-day visitors. The location of the place, there in the midst of the mountains. makes hik ing easy and inviting. In fact, the greatest recreation problhmn a Blue Ridge guest has to solve is one of se lection. He has to decide what lie will not take part in rather than figure out how he will occupy his time. Have Ball Teams First of all there ,are the organized ball games, baseball, basketball, and volley ball. Championship series are placed each year, beginning near the first of the conference and continuing until the winners are picked. All of the colleges that have enough men present are urged to get in the race Last year Carolina had to horrow two men from another school in order to put out a baseball team. This team entered the contest with nothing to boast of and came out, af ter one game, with an unchanged rec ord. Cecil Scott says that he played an errorless game in left field since he didn't get any chances. Showing Better Carolina's showing in basketball was little better. She was eliminated in the first game after a rather spirited struggle. In volley ball she met a like fate. After getting off to a good start the team weakened and lost by a score of 2 to 1. The fellows say, however, that losing didn't make a great deal of dif ference. the fun lay in playing A regular track meet is another thing that interests many. Here each school that wishes to may enter a team and the winner is chosen just as in any such contest. D)ue to scarci'y of numbers the dlelegation from the Uni versity dlid not enter a team last year. Harold Hope and Hill Pool were will ing but they had no one to support them. Courts Provided Several tennis courts are provided for use in the tournament and for the benefit of anyone who happens to have a racquet, and a desire to play. The fellows who went to Blue Ridge last y'ear poinit p)rouly to the fact that Carolina won the singles chanipion ship. P'. A\. topped the state chiamp from MIississipipi off in good style, and brought home a banner that now hangs in the lobby at Flinni Hall. Swinaining is enjoyedl by almost every person on the grounids. If one dlosen't like the pool1, he may go to the lake, whlich is a much warmer spot. The stream that feeds the lake may be as cold as the one that fills the 1)001 but the water wvarms uip after it reach es the former. The lake is eight or ten times as large as the poo01 and is out n, the open where the sun can get to it. It is equippled with springboard, a high dive, and boats. Two Decide TwNo of the Carolina boys of last year decided that they would get up early some morning andl take a dip in the pool before breakfast. Trhey plan ned to do it several times. but never ,di,. Tn the niorninig one wishes for =aaMA vA oAVsImJ%A E SPEAKERS kham Weatherford blankets up there rat her than ir a dip. Next in line is mountain climbing or hiking. Iveryone who goes to Blue Rilge feels that he must at least climb old High Top before leaving. This is one of the peaks along the ridge that lies just back of the con ference grounds. From its top one gets a good view of the surrounding country, of Robert F. .ee Hall down below, and Black Moutuain in the dis tance. Every morning little parties climb the dark trail to see the sunrise. According to reports it is a wonderful sight. Good Hiking Iliking is not confined to the im Inediate vicinity. It is true that the or ganized parties do not go far from the grounds. but individuals, couples, or small parties may. A hike to Asheville is not out of the question at all. It may be made an auto trip if the hikers wish. Mount Mitchell, the top of it. is rather far distant, but may be reached by foot. The boys from Carolina re port that they pushed a Ford to the top of this, the highest peak east of the Rockies.
