We are pleased at the succesful outcome of the the annual Univer sity Field Day contests which took place last Saturday. Theevents were all of a high class order and a great improvement was shown in most of the contests over the records made at our last Field Day. This branch of athletics here is a com paratively new one. and its grad ual development as a feature of our Athletic life is particularly inter esting". We believe that these an nual contests on the track have come to stay and in the future we can not only look forward to them as one of the pleasantest events of Athletic side of our University- life, but we havfe reason to believe that in the near future Carolina's track teams will represent us as creditably in inter-collegiate meets as have her foot ball and base ball representa tives in the past. . With this issue we close the present volume of the Tar Heel for this scho lastic year. Before putting- down our pen, however, we would offer a word of thanks to the assistant editors on the board for their kindly aid and ready help in the publication of the Tar Heel. Whatever measure of success the paper has attained we take pleas ure in saying- is larg-ely due to their efforts. We would express our appreciation to the Athletic Association for the honor bestowed on us in representing them in this capacity. We assure the Association that we have endeavored to the best our of ability to give express sion to the athletic side of University life and to express the g-eneral senti ment of the student body at all times. There tnay be many no doubt who have recognized our shortcomings and are ready to find fault with the publi cation, and to such we would venture to hope that it may fall to their pleas ure some day to occupy the editorial chair. . To show in what light our Georg-ia friends regard our ball team, which has only recently made a very suc cessful trip through that state, we copy below an extract from an ar ticle in the Macon Tcleg-rafi,oi the Carolina-Mercer game played at that place: "Two hundred studeuts and over a thousand spectators filled the air with groans at Athletic Park yes terday alternoou as Copelaud rapped he ball to Lawson, North Carolina's invincible pitcher, and was thrown out at first, cutting- off Mercer's every hope of changing the score which stood 10 to 4 against the yellow and black. "For the past week local and state interest among , base ball cranks had centered in the g-ame to be .play ed between Mercer and North Caro lina. It was to be a game where the relative strength of the Mercer and the University of Georgia, Mer cer's old-time foes, were to be tested. Butii'om the g-ame yester day nothing can be judged. The game liad not only been looked for ward to with eager anticipation by M e r c e r's admirers but by the members of the Mercer team al so, and when the g-ame was called yesterday afternoon the grand stand was a boquet of smiling- faces and spring bonnets, while the bleachers groaned beneath the weig-ht of the restless fans which kept the triumphant hymn of chin music going-. Mercer was confident, though she went into the game with a team so crippled that they should have felt that it was to be the struggle of their lives to win. Up to the fifth the g-ame was clearly Mercer's. Mansfield wa picthing- the game of his life, exhibiting- speed and control that in all previous g-ames he had not displayed. . Hol land, who was working- behind the bat for the first time in two years, was playing- a faultless game, and every man in the field was upon his toes. It looked .like the orange and black would again float triumphant, and the happy smiles on the faces of the fair admirers of the Mercer braves were in marked contrast to the uneasy pallor on the Tar Heels' sunburned visag-es. The crowd was happy on the way to a realiza tion of enjoying- with Mercer a triumph over one of the strong-est college nines that ever came South. The score balanced on Mercer's side, but it was right at this moment that the crisis came, that young heads lost their balance, and hot headed players lost their temper. "The North Carolina team is without doubt the best that Mercer has been up against. Their organ ization is perfect, fielding faultless, and base running good. They show ed a little weakness at the bat at first, but soon settled and found Mansfield without any trouble. Lawson sustained his reputation as one of the best college pi'chers in the South. His speed is equal to McAfee's and he keeps a cool head If there were any weak points on the Carolina team they were not found by the Mercer men yester We are glad to hear that the health of Peter H. Eley, of Williston, Tenn., who was prevented by sickness from graduating with the Class of '98, is sufficiently restored to enable him to take the duties of a school. We hope to see him back at the University. Dr. Alderman left the Hill for Richmond, Va., on yesterday where he will deliver the Commencement address before the University Col I lege of Medicine. Basket Ball at St. Mary s. St. Mary's School, Raleigh, N. C, May 8, T899. ' The Tar Heel will perhaps be glad to know of the success of out match game of basket ball, played Saturday, May ; the sixth. This was the result of our first year's at tempt at field athletics. The Sigma Mu Basket Ball Club has been divided into the Sigma and Mu teams, and these met in royal combat on the grounds last Satur day. The players appeared from behind ' the Art Building, which stands close by, making a pretty sijrht in their dark blue suits as they moved iu a mass silently and rapidly tovyards the grounds. The Mus arranged, themselves about the upper goal, while the Sigmas pro ceeded to the other. At a sign from the manager the latter gave their yell with vigor and vehem ence, followed by that of the Mu team, whose well trained cry rang out with equal force and vivacity. The centres then approached the middle of the field and tossed for goals; the whistle blew, the players took their places, and the game was on, For the first five minutes both teams were taking notes of each other but kept the ball flying from place to place. Referee called "five minutes more!" and the ball rolled beyond the Sigma goal; it was seized by Mu guard 1 and passed quickly to her goal. Spirited sal lies followed, and Mu centre tossed it through the hoop. More hard playing ensued, Sigma led on by de termination and Mu by the scent of victory. Time was called, the score standing Sigma 0 Mu 2. The second inning was interest ing on account of Sigma centre's brilliant skirmish, and Mu For ward l's splendid slide. No goals were made till referee called "Two minutes and a half!" Then Sigma centre tossed a goal. Time being 'called, the score stood Sigma 2 M 2. The rest between second and third innings was occupied in saving force for the last chance. Mus de termined Sigmas resolved. This third inning was a fierce struggle on both sides, Sigma's ball being dangerously near the goal and all players on their finest mettle. 'Sigma centre puts a second goal; ! more struggles and referee calls "One minute and a half! Make good your time!" Then Sigma guard 2 pitched for goal. The ball twice circled the hoop; all stood open-mouthed, then it fell through. The playing was brilliant. Mu forward 2 makes a sly snatch, but all in vain as time was called. The score at the end of the game stood Sigma 6 Mu 2. The entire game was character ized by the strict order which pre vailed, good guarding and alertness of the players. All this we owe to the close attention and excellent training we have recieved from our Manager Respectfully yours, Mu guard 2.
