All communications for this paper should
be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief by
Monday at noon to insure publication the
same week. We shall be glad to publish
pertinent discussions of college topics. The
Tar Heel will welcome news items, and
hopes the whole college will aid it along
this line.
The practice of the Track Team
has continned very regularly and
satisfactorily during- the pas'
week. Several more candidates re
ported tor work and all are being
put through a systematic course o
training-.
Mr. Weeks furnishes us the following-criticism:
There aire a few points to be
criticised in the work of the trick
team, particularly among- the new
men. The new men do not give e-
nough attention to the command
"g-o" after "g-et set." The mind
should be concentrated upon that
order, which when g-iven should
be immediately obeyed. A hal
second delay in the 100 or 200 yd
dash means half a rod loss. Also
on the other hand care must be taken
not to anticipate the command, for
if any part of the bod - touches
ground in front of the mark before
the command is given, it means a
set back of 1 yd. on the 100 yd. and
2 yds. on the 220 yd. dash.
Let the men in the 100 yd. and
220yd. dash keep their eyes upon
the finish and keep up full speed to
the end, and not slowing- up When
near the finish. If these sugges
tions are followed much time will
be saved and better work done.
Every Friday there will be a
vigorous drill in the gymnasium,
and if it makes any body sore it is
a sure sign that the one afflicted
needs to take more of that kind of
work.
During this week, the officers of
the Tennis Club will be at work ef
fecting a working organization of
our tennis players. The Club has
a reason for its existence this year,
the rurpose of br'nging out Caro
lina's representative tennis team,
and it is our interest to help the suc
cess of their effort.
An opportunity is afforded us to
give tennis the rank it "had here
some years ago, to have an inter
collegiate tournament. A proposi
tion has been made us by the Ath
letic Association of a Southern Col
lege, that our tennis teams play a
tournament here on the occasion of
their baseball game with us. The
