Baseball next Week.
Our season opens next week, and
while the two games with the pre
paratory schools a re 'interesting as
showing team and individual work,1
yet the whole- athletic interest of
college is centered on the Virginia
game next Saturday. This will be
the first game with our old rival
ever played on our own grounds,
hence for the majority of the stu
dents it will be the first oppoutunity
to see our Virginia friends play ball,
and every one is expected to turn
out and see the game.
College Topics says "it is the
general opinion in college that we
have, this year, the best team we
have ever had," but we will also
say that we too have the best
team that ever represented Caro
lina, and we are in no way fearful
of the result. - : '
One cause of the poor record in
our foot-ball team last fall was the
lack of college spirit shown af 7
ter the tie game with Va. A. & M.
and the consequent lack of confi
dence and enthusiasm in the. men,
but. exactly the opposite should be
said in regard to our relation to the
base-ball team this spring.
Capt. Stanly and his men have
the hearty enthusiastic support of
every one, ana we teei comment
that, the record of this spring will
fvn fur nwn rA rpfripvino- flip rrlnrv
lost last fall.
We hear that Virginia's ambition
is to beat us on our own grounds,
but we suggest that it would be
well for her not to be so confident
of her prowess, otherwise our
friends from the Old Dominion may
get slightly fooled. .
There has been much specula
tion as to who would compose our
team, though three ,or four places
appeared io be pretty certain. It
is safe to say that, the men will be
chosen somewhat as follows:
Catcher Bailey.
IB. Winston.
3B. Stanly. .
SS. Belden.
3B. Johnston.
R.F. Davis.
C.F. Whitaker:
L.F. McKee.
The pitcher will be chosen from
Williams, Mangum, Tate, Hayes;
and Hines.
From the above it will be seen
that our infield will be nearly, if
not quite as strong as last year.
Of course we will miss Gregory
from second base, but Capt. Stan
ly is a peach at that position, and
Belden is fielding well at short, as
well as' making clean, hits at the
bat. .
Bailey, Winston and Johnson are
at their old places, and doing the
fine work that we have come to ex
pect of them.
The outfield will be far stronger
than last year. Whitaker is' cer
tainly making star plays in .centre,
and Davis and McKee in right and
left field are playing good ball.
All five of our pitchers are doing-
'. wel, and it is uncertain which one
' will be in the box for that game.
I Of course we will not be able lo
j know their true effectiveness till
I after several games have been play-
ed, but judging from their daily
work out on the field 'we think that
great things may be "expected from
some of them.

correct list of the Virgina learn,' but
are informed that' either Collier or
Miller wilf pitch the game for theni
Our. team may have some diffi
culty at first in "coloring" curves
of these men, and the batting
strength of the team will be clearly
shown in this game. But Captain
Stanly's careful .training in batting
practice will surely bear good fruit,
and Carolina will distinguish her
self in this line as she did last year,
when she batted so many pitchers
out of the box, and spoiled the rec
ords of several "stars."

Although no definite plans have yet
been made for the 'Varsity, there is a
great probability of arranging games

College Spirit.
. Tulane Letter.
'.' 7 '; '''-" Nkw Orleans,
' ' ; , March 10, 1897,
Tulane greets you this time through
the medium of a daily college paper.
We feel a great pride (and we hope, a
justifiable cme) in stating this, for it
was only after surmounting many seri
ous and troublesome obstacles that we
were able to lay claim to the honor of
publishing the first and only daily col
lege paper in the South. ,
It was the early part of November
that the "Olive and Blue''' timidly
sought admittance to the field of col
lege journalism, but it soon proved a
worthy rival of Tulane's other weekly
paper College Spirit.
When the maintenance of two week
lies was positively assured, the editors
felt confident that by a combination
of forces a daily could as easily" be
maintained. A consolidation was
speedily" effected, and the names of
the papers were submitted to a com
mittee, composed, of three members of
the faculty, who were to select the
more appropriate name for the daily.
The Committee decided in favor of
College Spirit. .
Our first issue appeared on the 5th
of February and everything indicates
a prosperous continuance.
The first contest of the recently
formed "Gulf States Inter-Collegiate
Oratorical Association," held at Tu
lane on March 4th, was a decided suc
cess. :
The Universities of Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, and Tulane Universi
ty compose the Association. Georgia
was not represented, however, in the
first contest.
Mr. R. S. Vickers,' representing Tu
lane, was adjudged winner of the con
test. He spoke on "The Solid South
Dissolved." The University feels es
pecially proud of this honor, as the
gentlemen with whom we contended
proved themselves orators of the high
est ability and worthy of the great
universities which they represented.
. Our base ball prospects seem very
bright this year. A series of inter
class games has given the boys a great
amount of practice, and have also af
forded the coach a splendid opportuni
ty of picking 'Varsity material.
A few postponed games of the ser-i
ies are j-et'to be played, but the Jun-j

Dramatic Club Notice

The College Year-Book.
We are in receipt, of "The Col
lege Year-Book" for 189G-'97, pub
lished by Messrs. Stone and Kim
ball, New York.
The book i tastily bound and
gives the, income, number of stu
dents, faculty,' the number of vol
umes in the -library together with
a short history of each institution. .
In view of the difficulties attending
the gathering the correct informa
tion concerning each college and
judging from that about our own,
the book is very fairly accurate,
and contains a great quantity of val
uable information, which is very in
teresting to the college student es
pecially. . -
One is surprised to find that al
though the data concerning each is'
condensed, to the greatest extent,
yet we find that it takes over four
hundred pages to print the matter.
After this there are a number of
tables of general interest.
One attempts to inve the relative
proportion of college professors and
students on the money question and
if we may take this as true, they
are overwhelmingly in iavor 01
gold. But the list is far from complete.
In another, showing the propor
tion of college students attending
colleges in their own state, we find
North Carolina in the lead with
88.11 per cent. IThere are also the
athletic records of the year.
Taking it as a whole the book is
verv valuable and contains a mine
of information probably nowhere
else gotten together.
