Since this opportunity is presented let no one ran to grasp it tor Carolina should not be behind in this impor- that phase of athletic life. Entered at the Post Office in Chapel Hill, N. C us second-class mall matter. It seems that Mr. Lambeth, who in the February issue of Outing picked the All Southern foot-ball team, was a little wrong" in his se lections or at least in one position. The Vanderbilt Hustler informs us that Mr. Fitzgerald who was select ed as one of the guards on the team, was not at Vanderbilt last season and in ' and '97 he was only a substitute on the team. We would suggest to Mr. Lambeth that he be more careful in the future. The hard and steady work the candidates for the base-ball team are pursuing- is indeed gratifying- to the student body and we only hope that it will be kept up. It is the only way that material can be de veloped in such a way as to make a good team.. We believe that the past week brought forth some pro gress, for the men worked hard and seemed willing- to work. Such : spirit, if kept up through the sea son, will bring- forth the greatest results. The material is in the Col leg-e and it can be developed to the best advantage, if a daily atten dance upon practise is kept up The attendance upon the practises shows to the team that the student body is not lacking- in enthusiasm and every effort on the player's part will be highly applauded by the spectators. So men keep up your good work and we will have a win ning team. The request made by the captain of the foot ball team in this issue should' be responded to by all. An excellent opportunity is afforded those intending to try for the Var sity foot-ball team next fall and all should grasp it. At this time of the year men are apt to take no ex ercise and when the fall comes it takes much longer to get in trim and consequently it impedes the pro gress of the team. Training along with the track team will not only give you exercise which every one needs, but it -will make your chan ces better for making the Varsity next fall. So let every candidate for the foot ball team come out. In another column of the Tar HEEL, will be found an article on track athletics. In this we see that measures are to be taken to or ganize track teams among the sev eral classes here ar.d later in tin Spring a meet will be held to decide the Championship of the College. This move is a good one and the call for candidates should be re sponded to most heartily. You might not think that you have any special calling for the track team, but let that not interfere with your going out. You may become pro ficient in some certain line while now you do not know it. No meets will be held with other colleges this Spring but the training that will be offorded will prepare you for meets of next year. The Manager elected has had experience on the track Freshmen Medals. The annual awarding of medals to the Fresh, class took place on the afternoon of February 22nd in Memorial Hall and was much en joyed by the upper class men. President Hall of the Soph, class presided and did his duty with great dignity. At the latter part of the meeting snow balls began to pour in and consequently some fresh men were slighted. The following were the medals awarded. 5th degree fool's medal, "Red Headed" Brown Sporty man's medal, E. H. Brown Typical freshman. Hoover Dirty man's medal, 'Fowle Cheeky man's " Joe Cheshire Irishman's medal, "Pat" Carr Joe, Joe, the dog face man, J. C.

Mr. Jones Fuller who recently obtained his license to practice law in North Carolina, will locate in Durham with the firm of Winston and Fuller. Mrs. Harry Martin, of Greensboro, is visiting friends on the Hill. Meeting of the Philological Club. The Philological Club met in the English lecture-room on last Tues day evening, February 28, at half past seven o'clock. Dr. Hume pre sided. The first paper read was by Prof. Toy, being "A note on Cy rano de Bergerac" Prof. Toy used the original text which is en tirely in verse and showed conclus ively that no English translation could do justice to it unless as he said some great poetic genius were to rewrite it in English. The sparkling verse is lost when trans- fered to everyday prosaic English. Prof. Toy also commented on the probability of the play as a stage success and said that in his opinion no actor could rightly interpret the leading part who attempted too much of the heroic. It is worthy of note that this is in line with the best criticism of Mr. Mansfield, Certain anachronisms and other in teresting points were noted. A verv delightful and entertain ing paper on Cvnevvolf was ' next given by the president, Dr. Hume Dr. Hume led his audience through quite a maze of Saxon verse and runes, nnally translating a little poem. The main part of the dis cussion was taken up in examina tion as to the probable orig in of cer tain Saxon manuscripts found in an old monastery in Italy . about the sixteenth century. The growing interest in Archae ological Study was shown in a pa per by this name read by Prof Harrington supplemented by re marks from Dr. Alexander. Prof Harrington showed the importance of such work, and hoped that some philanthropist would make it possi ble to have a school of this sort at the University. Dr. Alexauder closed the program with a very entertaining talk on Athenian Newspapers. Dr. .Alex- adder's perfect familiarity with all things Grecian, having lived ther some years as American Minister, adds greatly to anything he may say pertaining to the unfortunate Greeks. It seems that thev are really flooded with Newspapers It was his opinion that the common people read more than the country people of our own State. Several extracts from a late edition of The Acropolis, an Athenan daily, show ed that less of the personal el- ment enters into the composition of a Greek newspaper than our own. It was Dr. Alexander's purpose, however, to talk on the linguistic effect of the present newspapers. This he could not do owing to the growing lateness; but promised to give the Club something on this at a future date. He showed, inciden tally, several passages that could have been quite easily read and un derstood by Homer or St. Paul. At the close of his remarks a short general discussion on the papers read took place, and the Club adjourned. Meeting of Alpha Theta Phi. A meeting of Alpha Theta Phi. was held in the Modern language room on Wednesday morning, Feb. 22nd, At which meeting all those eligible to this society were initiated, viz: Messrs. W. F., Bryan, '00, K, P. Lewis, '00, E. Graves, '00, D. P. Parker, '00, L. V. Branch, '00, and C. E. Best, ex-'98. The Tar HEEL is glad to see that this society is in good working order again and it hopes that every th ing will be done to keep this soci ety at the standard it so justly deserves. NOTICE!
