ATHLETICS.
Base-ball
Rain during- the past week preven
. ted practice of any kind until the
last two or three days. Every op
portunity is taken advantage of by
the players and whenever the field
is in condition and the weather per
mits the athletic ground is filled
with men working- hard to improve
their condition.
A good spirit is shown and if
hard work counts for any thing- (as
it certainly does) the best results
may be expected.
Tennis.
Some time during- the fall a meeting-
of the tennis players was called
and a Tennis Association was or
ganized and officers were elected.
This was a good move and will be
productive of much good in our ath
letic life if carried on as it should
be- Let the President call a meet
ing1 and make some kind of arrange
ments for a tournament this spring-
This tournament should be to de
termine the championship of each
class and then a contest should be
held between the class champions
for the championship of college.
.- - j. i
In this way interest may be stimu
lated in this sport which may per
haps bring- out a few good tenni
players who can represent our Uni
versity in contests with other col
leges.
A number of years ago we sent
off such representatives and they
represented the University in a very
creditable manner, Why not try
this again? First, however, let us
have the class tournament. Ar
range the schedule of contests s
that it may be followed out just as
soon as the weather and tennis
courts permit.
Gymuasium
During the winter months, it has
been with a great deal of satisfac
tion to those in charge that they
noted the good attendance at gym
nasium. Mr, Calder is doing things
in a svstematic manner and those
who do their part in attending reg
ularly derive a great deal of good
from the exercise. Regularity is an
important factor in this. After the
regular exercises it is noted that a
number of men remain in the gym.
and make use of the opportunities
there afforded for developing the
muscles.
Basket Ball
Those who have not learned this
game and are anxious to take part
in an exciting and also scientific ex
ercise would find that it is to their
interest to go to the gym. and take
part in this sport. While our gym
nasium does not afford room for
everybody to play at once you will
find that everybody has a chance.
Try basket-ball. There may be
something in it for you. It is play
ed with interest else where and why
not here too?
Track Team.
lhis is something which wil
come later we hope. That is later
in the Spring. Some kind of stim
ttlus is needed for this thing. What
will furnish this stimulus? Per
haps the Advisory Committee can
devise some plan to arouse enthu
siasm.
The Ferbttary German
In spite of the unfavorable weath
er(such weather usually attends ou
intermediate dances; a number o
most charming young ladies were on
the Hill for the regular Februarv
German which took place last F.i
iay night. The number of dancers
was not unusually large but under
the graceful leader-ship of Mr. J
D. Grimes with the able assistance
of Mr. Kornegay and Mr. Joyner
many beautiful figures were execut
ed. "
In addition to the natural charms
of the young ladies the beauty and
variety of their dresses was notic-
able. The german began early and
to the inspiring notes of "The Char
latan." "A Campmeeting in Geor
gia" etc. the hours flew swiftly
p-st. The dancing continued into
"the wee snia' hours" and all too
soon were heard the strains of
"Home, Sweet Home."
The dance was in every way suc

leadership and sweet music by the

this having two presidents was un

the other then those who were not

Spice will be lent to the program
by such lig-hter numbers as Bishop's

Mossini's gay "Carnavale." A
very attrctive feature of this season
will be the singing of the ladies'
chorus, which on this occasion will
render Nincedt's beautiful vocal
waltz, "Blow, Soft Winds."
The soprano soloist, Miss Eva
Lawson, a well known Richmond
soloist, has never been heard in
Chapel Hill, and much interest has
been awakened in her appearance at
this concert. Besides her work in
connection with the chorus, she will
sing an arioso from Bembergs's
"Jean d4Arc, and songs by Chad
wick and Tosti.
Professor Dauer, the violinist, at
present in charge of the musical de
partment of Elizabeth College at
Charlotte, is a native of Charleston
S. C, and a graduate of the Leipzig
Conservatory of Music, where he
studied under the well known mast
er Schradiecd. For many years he
has been the leading solo violinist of
Charleston. He will perform one
of De Beriot's concertos, aud Leon

which will offer him an opportunity
to exhibit his brilliant technique and
complete mastery of the most wond-
rful musical instrument of man's
invention.
Visitors from such places as Dur
ham, Raleigh, and Hillsboro, have
already announced their intention of
attending this concert, as the inter
est in such a musical opportunity is
not confined to the limits of our own
ittle village. It is a pleasure to re
cognize truly good music as one of
he manifold influences that make

the University have offered them in
way not often found elsewhere in
the State.
