TAR THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Vol, 6, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, February 8th. 1898. NO. 15. BASE-BALL. Our Coach. Capt. Winston's Critl cism. Considering: the inclement weather of the past week the base-ball practice has been kept up with remarkable regularity. Capt. Winston has had the candidates out when the thermom eter was almost at the freezing- point. This is the stuff that makes a team. The persistent effort and determina tion which have been manifested by both captain and players during- the past week can bring- no result other than a winning- team. Our base-ball coach promises to be as g-ood as our last year's foot-ball coach. - He is "on to" the liner points of the game and displays the same zealous enthusiasm which was so char acteristic of his foot-ball coaching. Though he has been on the Hill only a short time the players have already received some very valuable hints which were entirely new to them. No coach ever enjoyed more continued and wide spread popularity at U. N. C. than Will A. Reynolds. The men who have done the best batting during- the past week, are Bel den, Rogers, Lawsou, McKee, Graves, Hume and Woodard. Rogers hits recklessly. Woodard leaves the field before the practice is over and his improvement is largely impeded by aversion to activity. (It has been sug-g-ested that he doesn't possess much energy and wont exert himself for fear he'll lose what he has.) Hines pulls away from the plate too much when batting-. Alston slug's carelessly. Graves hits too hard. Tate is conspicuous by his absence from the field. White tries to bat both ways, ; Men who are said to be ambi-dextrous are usually no g-ood ei ther way. Webb stands too close to the plate and. "chops". He should throw his body into the blow. Gra ham chops slightly. He is still irreg ular abont coming- out but is handi caped by a sprained finger. Lawson is a promising- pitcher but is careless of his arm. lie should not attempt to throw speealy balls until the weather moderated Williams is playing- good ball, iavis is a promis ing man but lacks confidence. John Carr has become a candidate since the last list was published. Capt. Winston expresses much satis faction with the general improvement of the players. ; -f Dr. Alderman in the Old World. i On last Tuesday morning" Dr. Alder wan delivered his farewell address, before departinjg for the "other world". f In order that the students might know his whereabouts, and the histor ic places he woiild visit before return lngto his dutie4 at the University, he gave the following account of his intended travels : "Our ship takds land first at Gibral ta. re g0 intQ' Spain for a sight of the great Moorish palace of the Al hambra and across to Algiers; then We go into Naples and Pompeii and a cross the Mediterranean, stopping at Malta, in Eg ypt where we stay about eleven days, in the home of the Pha- roes, the pyramids and the Nile; then to Palestine where we stay about a week. We then go to Constantinople, the greabtype of the Mohammedan world and then through the iEgean to Ath ens, and then back to Rome, where we shall remain about eight days. Then we shall go through central Europe stopping at Florence and Venice, crossing the Alps to Switzer laud, and on to London. Inter-Class Field Day Events. 100 yds. clash. 120 ". hig h hurdle. 220 " -low " 440 " run. One mile run. Running high jump. broad " Pole vault. Throwing 161b hammer. Putting 161b shot. One mile relay race (4 men to the team.) These events will take place on April ()th, if Virginia accepts our challenge for an inter-collegiate meet here on April 23rd. If Vir ginia does not accept, the inter-class events will take place April 23rd. The invitation was sent to the University of Virginia some time ago but no reply has been received. We suppose she's working the same game sheworked last year"-training her team to see what the pros pects are for winning the events be fore she answers the invitation.. We notice that only one class captain has been elected and he has not called for candidates. The winners of the inter-class events will compose the Varsity squad. Preacher Movement. The movement inaugurated by Dr. Alderman by which we are to have some preacher to spend a week on the Hill each month was begun by Dr. Robert Strange. Dr. Strange is the well known rector of St.' James Church of Wilmington and being an alumnus of the Uni versity, having been a classmate of Dr. Alderman, was well fitted to open the new movement which means so much to our life here. While here he was a guest at the hospita ble home of Dr. Manning. On Sunday morning Dr. Strange preached in the Episcopal church on "Faith" to a large crowd of students,-and Sunday night iu the Col lege Chapel he preached on "Justi fication by Faith." During the week he held chapel services in the morning and led the services of the Y. M. C. A. at night. His talks on these occasions were of a good sound practical nature from which much good may be derived. - Thursday night lie preached his last sermon before the Y. M. C. A. on "The way, the truth, and the life." ' " While here he had the use of the President's office where he was ac cessible to all students especially those who wished to consult him on any points whatever. ! This movement means a great deal to the student life here and it is to be hoped that the students will not be slow to take advantage of it. Notice. There jwill be a meeting of the Board of Tar Heki Editors in the Math room at 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon- A full attendance is ear nestly desired. ; W. J. B wooden, Editor-in-Chief. Four Years' Progress. t-tt ' 4 TT T we wno are nere at the univer sity do not so much notice the many7 changes that are going on every day, and the steady advancement that is being mjjde both in the internal and external affairs of the University. So smoothly and noiselessly goon the various improvements one after another that a senior is startled to look back and view the amazing changes that have been wrought since he was a freshman. In the first place, the presidency has changed hands. The attend ance has' been increased at least a athird, co-eels nave been ad mitted, the curriculum has been rearranged and added to, the elective system has been extended, and March examinations have been abolished. The Medical course has been extended to two years, and a new professorship added to that department. The school of phar macy7 has been established, and a pharmaceutical laboratory7 fitted up. The chair of Pedagogy has been es tablished. An Associate Professor of Classical Philology and an Ad junct Professor of History7 and Po litical Economy7 have been elected. Besides these, assistants have beer, added to the Law School and Geo logical department; and to several of the laboratories. A course in Orni thology7 has been recently7 instituted also. Now look at the outward changes. The electric litrht plant has been put in, commons hall established, Memorial Hall turned into a gym nasium, the biological laboratory enlarged, the chapel renovated, the Cooberative store established, two tracks have been built, the Iufirma ry has been erected, the dissecting hall enlarged, ground broke for the Alumni Building, dome erected over the well, colonial door put in South Building, caps and gowns have been adopted by the senior class, and a deposite fee has been required. It is but natural that the town should share in this growth. Hills boro Street has been built up, Chapel Hill High School establish ed, the post office enlarged, a new store built, a new livery stable built, the D. K. E. hall erected, and three handsome residences have been built on Main Street. Pick ard's Hotel is being torn down, and soon a handsome new structure will occupy its place. We were about to forget to mention that new second-hand rails have been laid and worn out and more needed on the Southern Perilous. FEBRUARY MAGAZINE, A Full Review and Criticism. The University Magazine for February appeared yesterday with more than the beauty of her new Spring gown for recommendation. She displays a well regulated bal ance of g-ood subject matter. His tory, science and fiction figure on her pages with sandwich of that modern kind of verse whose prime glory lies in obscurity. ' The issue opens with a handsome picture of the Alumni Building, whose basal outline greets us daily and passes through a few explana tory and descrigtive remarks to a very charming exposition of the "Harvard Man" by Herman Har rel Home of '05. Mr. Home is now preparing at Harvard for the Baptist Ministry. He" writes of the past traditions and the present ideals which unite to make the type we call the Harvard Man "demo cratic, cosmopolitan, tolerant." "The new has furnished material to the old. The old has furnished a plan for the new."' The brilliant record made here bv this former son of the University is -well re membered and his achievements ever appreciated. Part II of the Physicians in the Convention of I8bl adds nine short y biographical sketches to that collec tion of valuable historic matter. This important work is the fruit of earnest original research. In the line of Science, or of Na ture if one would speak more sim ply, we have the subjective as well as the objective represented. The comparision of two widely differing treatments of man's relation to the universe is admirably handled under the title of "Job and Sartor Resar tus." Through the dramatic epic and the quaint biography with their different dates and places runs a striking similarity of experience and the two truth-seekers are shown to have made the same journey. Objectively, Nature is represent ed by a delightfully personal sketch of bird life entitled "Neighbors of Mine." The writer lends to his "neighbors" or finds in them an individuality which provokes fur ther interest than that given to a touch of color in humanity's back ground. They become a race with ethics of their own. The paper shows more than a nearness of na ture's heart. It is the outcome of study and untiring observation. The type of fiction differs radi cally from the last issue. It is now highly dramatic one almost mur murs as he reads, "Condensed Nov el." "Two Autumn Scenes" is a tale of exaggerated honor. The leading character shoots his friend by ac cident. A year later he renounces , the love of the woman who was to have been his friend's wife. The climaxing is good and constrasts of light and of shade cleverly made. The weather setting, which follow the mood of the story is quite effec tive. Continued to fourth page.
