The Tar Heel has received several communications for this issue which it declines to insert. The Board of Editors in a' meet ing unanimotisly agreed to par ticipate in no way in college poli tics, and to publish no communi cations wherein existed what might be considered by those not fully conversant with the actual facts, if not slanderous statements, statements bordering on slander. The Tar Heel will not be inade a medium through which any one person or number of per sons may abuse any other one person or number of persons. 'Tis true, the Tar Heel is the students paper, but it is also the Universitie's paper. Not one pa triotic student would be willing to air before the State our little grievances we may have amongst ourselves. The Tar H e k l wishes .to advance the University so far. as the feeble but faithful efforts of the present board will permit, and works with that aim! only. j The above has not been writ- ten as' an explanation of the re fusal for publication of certain .resolutions anymore than for the refusal of some private" communi cations (with names signed) re ceived if not connected with, arising most likely from the same source. The regular practice of the baseball applicants continues, but improvement is very slow some have even retrograded. One clay the- practice is fair, the next fear ful Captain Robertson is work ing mighty hard with the men and if we do not turn out a win ning team the fault can certainly not be laid at his door. 'As they play now the men are playing pretty good,-4 'prep" ball, but that stuff won't coun't when they meet good teams. There are probably half dozen earnest men who throw their entire souls into every play who play for everything that is to be gotten out of it. Some of these men with this spirit will without doubt outstrip those who are playing along now listlessly, although in years past they may have played better ball. Before they know it, it will be too late. Our first game comes in less than a month you must be more energetic fellows. Throw more sou), more vim, more daring, more fire into your playing. Do it every day let every practice game be an im provement on the one the day previous. . - A recent letter from one of our most honoured and loved young alumni was seen by the writer of this the other day. In speaking of the prospects of the team he wrote, "For 's sake don't let the men piddle away these days of practice to come up lack ing in a match game". Our alumni are watching us most carefully and anxiously this season. They as well as we were wofully disappointed in the out come of the past football season, when we started in with such excellent material. Retrieve now follows the lost prestige work for the team hard not sluggishly and in a dilatory man ner but take a brace. We can not win when we go out and play as if for an evening's pleasure make it more than that. Make our team perfection. We can do it we must do it it is our duty. The batting now with two or three exceptions is very, very de plorably weak as seen when a good pitcher is in the box. The base running again with these one or two exceptions is worthy of a school boy only. We don't start quick enough. Practice start ingand when we have started we have absolutely no idea how to get to the next base. We don't slide properly or we don't slide at all. We don't like to acknowl edge it, but it's lack of grit, this failure to slide. L,et every man, every onlooker know that when a man fails to slide in the practice it is lack of grit, you must' slide We must have coachers always on the side lines not to'make the air hideous with hollowing and bellowing but to give the runner actual assistance and he must trust to the coacher and do as he tells and not look around to where the ball is when he is making for a base. A man can't run as fast when his head is twisted arounfl as he can when with head down he gets plunging just as hard as he can. And when you get to the proper point dive, jump, throw yourself just as hard as you can for the .base. There are many points in the men's work now that is not grat ifying to the lovers of the game and contributors to its support. The captain will do the criticis ing of the men. That is not our duty he endeavors to help each mau in his position Listen to him. He has played ball many years 'and knows what he is talking about. - Let's win this vear. We must we will but before we can hope to we must play and play hard ball. . Chapel Hill, N. C, February 19th, 1894. Editors Tar HEEL : - Gentlemen Will . you state in your columns the reasons for mov ing - the intermediate examina tions up to March 6th, when they had been catalogued 12th? Also why was the opening day on the 5th, and not on the 4th of January, as published in the cata logue? and oblige one of many ' - Kickers. The date, March 12th, in the catalogue, was , never officially fixed by the Faculty for the inter mediate examinations, but was so taken by the Executive Commit tee of the Faculty to indicate about when such examinations would be held. It was deemed wisest by the committee to have 110 date fixed a year beforehand as circumstances might alter the place. It was desired that these inter mediates should not break the term up as many men would go home immediately after the ex aminations if they came nearer Easter. The present date divides the term exactly. The new date was made known in ample , time for students and instructors to regulate their work accordingly. Another reason doubtless was on. account of some of our base ball games coming so early. It was desired, since athletics are encouraged here, to have such contests when they would inter fere less with the student's work. As to the second question lectures began 011 the" morning of the 5th of January, but the 4th was used as registration day., Probably if some of the kickers had registered then, and not de layed, they should have had plenty to do. Editor. The growth and present status of foot Ball in Southern collegos is admirably presented in the January number of The Southern Magazine by J . Breckenridgo Robertson, of the University of Virginia.

Only one Southern college team m yet crossed Mason and Dixon's line to try conclusions with their brothers of the North yet, from the progress the Southern college boys have made in the past three years, we expect to hear from them next seasion.
