An Unpleasant Feature.
The game with Lehigh on Satur
day last was marred by continual
objections to the decisions of the
umpire.
There are undoubtedly occasions
when protest against grossly un
just decision is justifiable. But
such protest in variably creates a'dis
agreeable impression upon the
spectators and destroys in a great
measure the interest in the game. It
therefore should be viewed only in the
light of a last resort and infrequent
ly indulged in.
But on last Saturday constant and
repeated kicking on the part of the
visiting team was the order of the
day. This together with other un
fortunate happenings conspired to
make an extremely poor game.

Field rfay.'
The announcement is made in an
ntripr rolumn that the mornimr of
May 1st is set apart for Field Day
athletics.
This is, we believe, the first in
stitution of a Field Day at the Uni
versity. Certain it is, at least, that
no event of this kind has been held
for a number of years past. It is,
in that it adds interest to athletics.
an innovation gladly welcomed. The
evident interest aroused in this de
partment by Mr. Mechling, the di
rector of the gymnasium, is much to
be commended.
The pleasure and excitement of
the Field Day exercises might be in
creased by placing on the list of
events a Relay Race between the
four classes. And in the afternoon
a ball game between a combination
of Seniors and Freshmen and a sun
ilar coalition of Juniors and Sopho
mores might add an exciting rival
ry. Field Day may and should
be made an event on our calendar
looked to ward to with keen antici
pation.
A Reported Change.
The undergraduate students o
the University will undoubtedly
hail with delight the current rumor
that the opening date of the Univer
sity will, at the next collegiate
year, be changed from the 3rd or 4th
of September, as heretofore, to the
middle or latter part of the same
month.
That it is a change for the better
there can be little doubt. Septem-
to meet with the approval of all.
faculty members and instructors in
cluded. The early date of beginning the
year's work , has heretofore been
conducive to little good. Many
students have been inclined towards
a late returning and those on time
possessed of an extreme , disinclina
tion towards work of any kind. The
change of date, if the report of its
adoption is true, is a good thing. It
has the Tar Heel's vigorous and
unqualified support.
A Mistaken Notion. -
The impression seems to be gen
erally prevalent among several mem
f the Rnard of Editors of the
17V v
Tar HEEL that their services were
sought with the sole expectation
hat their names alone should add
ustre to the editorial page.
It is our no slight endeavor to
correct this exceedingly erroneous
belief. And the brief apology that
public attention should be called to
domestic conditions in this manner
is that it seems difficult to reach
such members' in any other way.
The columns of the Tar Heel, are
ull told eleven. To fill them is no
slio-ht task to fall to the lot of two
or three of its editors.
Delinquent members of the staff
should occasionally bethink them
selves that they have assumed a
duty, in part payment: of a debt,
which, as Lord Coke says ot his
profession, every student owes his
University. The shirking, its perf
ormance, once assumed, is more
criminal than ati first thought might
appear. ' , '-,
A Sad Story.
The several columns; lf: the Tar
HEEL contain today V
'a sorry tale of ruin and defeat.'
Lehigh, Yale and Princeton, all
conspire to rob us of our1 laurels of
last year. Verily prides goeth be
fore a fall! So saith the Preacher.
And still this in itself does net
iustify the harsh things said of our
vanquished team. There is no clear
er illustration ot the hckleness ot
public favor than the reception of a
home coming team. or the victor
ious, praise and adulation. For the
defeated, dissatisfaction and fault
finding. One of many trials through
which .an unlucky team must pass
as best it may.
There is something improper in
the manifestation of a spirit of this
sort. The term should receive en
couragement at all times. 'No good
ever yet came of damnation. And
even in defeat we have athletics.
As well as the hope , of things to
come. ,

THE FIRST LEHIGH GAME.
The first, game With Lehigh re
sulted' in a tie, with the score of fe
to 8, the game being called at the
end of the sixth inning that both
teams might catch the evening train
for Winston. While the game was
at times rather exciting on account
of the closeness of the score, yet it
was not very pleasant to the spec
tators, on the whole, as there was
far too much kicking, though our
Lehigh friends did the tnost-of it.
The 'Varsity played much better
ball than at the time of their exhi
bition of a few days ago, and that
the game was not won was due rath
er to lack ot energy and vim on
the part ot our team, since juenign
was handicapped by the accident
which laid off their pitcher early in
the game.
Bailey was again at his place, be
hind the bat, and did brilliant work.
"Fletch" is playing a fine game
this year, and with enthusiasm and
steadiness, vvnitaiier uiu siuenuiu

Princeton Victorious.
The Princeton Tigers won o
Wednesday by a large majority. I
so happened that in the second in-'
ning they were assisted to six un
holy and unearned runs by timely
errors on the part of Carolina. The
game -was lost upon that occasion.
Mangum was in his usual good
shape and pitched well, giving the
Princetonians only seven hits, while
Altman, the well known Connect!-
cutt twirler, is charged with nine.
Mangum has done good work in the
box throughout the whole season
and has invariably received abomi
nable support. That the game was
lost to Princeton is no fault of his,
The team pulled itself together
after the second and played a tnler
ably fair game for the remaining
seven innings, but the mischief had
been done and it proved too late to
mend. Captain Stanley saved the
team from utter defeat by scorin:
the two runs with which Carolina
is credited during the entire game.
