Arid we have in mind an indoor game which can be played with much pleasure and, we belive too, with much good resulting to the players. That game is whist. We do not wish to be understood as wishing to induce any one to begin the prac tice of playing cards. But we be lieve that of all the games of cards whist is the best. It requires a quick mind, cool judgment and scientific and syste matic play to a greater extent than any other game of cards. And we think it stands forth as the one game of cards which is worth playing for the sake of the game itself. It is distinctly not a "gambling game" from the fact that it is a slow game . which requires too much time to play. And it has been our experience that those who are fond of, whist, and who have attained to a fair de gree of playing "ability, are , the nilPS wlinrarp vpru 1itt1f fnr ernrn-i- bling games,or for the gambling it self. This may be a mistake but we do not think it is, so we venture to make the suggestion that encour agement to whist-playing will do much to eradicate the desire of gam bling. And, believing that it is a good rule to give' encouragement to the best, we propose to those inter ested in the game to have a tourna ment of Duplicate Whist. It could be done at very small expense to each one entering and at leisure hours when it would not interfere with our studies and would give to several a recreation which, we think, would be both enjoyable and im proving. We would like to hear the opinion of others on the subject and invite them to use our" columns for that purpose. We have noticed with regret that some have seen fit to, practice their skill in penmanship on the tablets in Memorial Hall. We see no rea son why it should be done and many why it should not. It may be from thoughtlessness but if so we would like to remind the ' offenders that the building was erected at a great expense and that the tablets were put there to be honored and not to be scribbled upon. Andwhen they do remember this we hope that they will seethe error of their ways and abstain from doing it. If done from any other cause than thoughtlessness, they can, only be classed with those who have lately made themselves," or rather their actions, remarkable from their lack of sense. ,;: y ' We hope that the practice will cease and that the tablets will not be further defaced. We have no wish to express an opinion on the internal troubles at the University, but have noticed for the past few years that : these troubles p-enerallv come at a season when there is "nothing to do." in the months of , January, February, and March. And we believe that one reason at least, that could be as signed for it, is the fact that col lege is generally dull during that time. During the foot ball and base ball seasons college matters run on in peace. And, indeed we think there is a need of something to interest the college in general du ring the dull months. And what would be better than the game of ough and tumble?" Those who were here when we had very little foot ball except, the old rough and tumble game will remember it as a game of little science but still one which gave a man very good exer cise and at the same time furnished much enjoyment both to spectators and players. While the weather is warm the base ball candidates want the upper part of the field but the lower part would be more than enough and an interest in the game would serve to relieve the base ball men of many who having nothing else to do, en deavor to help them practice. v And too, we think,1 that by the game much good material might be developed for the next foot ball team. So we recommend it as a plan which would give pleasure and exercise' to the college general ly and at the same time it might do much good in other directions. Sophs vs. Fresh. The traditional rivalry between those two bodies of students again evinced itself Wednesday afternoon in a very spirited game of base ball. The Sophs after a hard struggle of ten ingings won the game by the bare margin of one run the score being 4 to 3 in their favor. The adherents '. of both classes were on hand, anp made the athletic field nnsr with their shouts and in enious gibes. The game was"nip and tuck" until the tenth innin when the : Sophs, won, or rather the Frehman collapsed, their error n this inning being responsible for their defeat. -The teams lined upas follows: regular option profes. Sophs. Whitaker, Rogers, Pearsall, Best, Stevenson, Hinds, Graham, Follin, Williams, : While we always point with pride to Memorial Hall as being one of the handsomest college buildings in the South, it seems to have passed by the notice of all that there is tremendous amount of unused space below it. Arid we think it could be used to the advanta-e and pleasure of many. Now that we have electric lights it would be very little trouble to light it up for some such use as a Bowling Allev. And by letting" some student who needed money attend to it, he could possibly in a a large degree defray his expenses. .Uet tnose wno care tor tne frame pay the price as they would in any such place of amusemeut and let the student who has the Alley in charge receive a certain per cent of the receipts. Have we not some one who has a few dollars to invest who would dike to invest it here? We even think if the University would go into the 1 ill i pian, it would De maae a paying one and one which would give pleasure to many and help to some who need it very badly.

The game was very exciting at different times,the degree of which was readily registered by the noise of the rooters. - , The placing at times was good but the stick work was inefficient We wish to see more such games and hope the other classes will pu teams in the field.

In addition to the entire Law Class quite a large number of students were present. ur. Manning- presided, lne case vyas very interesting. Jane Smith was suing John Jones lor slander and wished to recover $10,000 for loss ; of friends and damage to her character. She was represented by Messrs Barnes, Godwin and Hurley, while the Defendants council were Messrs Raby, Park and Bellamy. : Mr. Barnes opened up for the Plain tiff in a forcible talk of some, length. He was followed by Mr. Raby who acquited himself well and placed the Defendant in a good light before the jury. Mr. Lrodwin was the 1'Iamtill s next speaker and the question of slan der waxed hotter and hotter. Mr. Park took the floor at the con cluion of Mr. Godwin's speech and made a great speech ;showing his client to be of the best chacter and the cir cumstances to -justify the use, of the language attributed to the Defendant. 1 he next speaker was Mr. Bellamy wna gave a resume ol the evidence and made several legal 'deductions and things ' began to look gloomy for the lady-plaintiff, but the case was not yet over. Solicitor Hurly had the final say and he used it to great advantage He put an entirely different view to the subject, and during his strong and eloquent talk, aboundiner in striking epithets and clear langnage, the pock et-book of the defendant must have trembled. After the Judge's able charge the jury retired and were out for some length. Finally they returned, hav ing found that the plaintiff was enti tled to recover $100.00. The case was bitterly contested and showed much ability on both sides.
