: found-:that; all the athletic fees
! for the spring semester would be
Irequired to pay for the ,football
lequipment for. 1923.. This left
the Athletic Association with no
I funds for the baseball, season.
An Appeal was seht out to the:
I alumni and frifends of the school
:'who freely subscribed to the ath-
iletic policy for 1924: The equip-
jment for the si)ring baseball sea
son, the c6st Of the coach, and
the expenses of gaines were paif

j baseball/season as a whole wal
fairly'shtcessful. The Weave; i
; Varsity played seventeen gamed ,

, column. At the end of the sea
son the grounds had been ap,

' all without cost to the college. :
Duriiig the spHng tennis was
(taken up and fostered by thel
Athletic Assoftiations A regulaif
schedule of games and tourna
ments was worked out and, con
sidering this as the first effort

ver’s ancient rival. Mars Hill,
was tied oncfe on their' own
'grouhd by Weaver and defeated
on Weaver’s ground before ap
proximately 2,000 people. By
defeating Mars Hill on Thanks
giving Day Weaver College
gained temporary possession of
a silver loving cup, donated by
Carpenter-Matthews, ^ Jewelers,
of Asheville, The ambition of
the Weaver College Athletic As
sociation is to secure permanent
possession of the cups in 1925.
The total cost to the college
of the year’s athletics, including
ball prospects for 1925 are ex
ceedingly bright with such vet
erans as West, Clemens, Kuy
kendall, Lyda, EaveSj Williams
and Brummitt around which to
build a team. Manager Presson,
realizing the ability of some of
the players, is arranging pos
sibly the hardest schedule at
tempted by Weaver College iri
recent ’ years. • The tentative
schedule includes games with
Oak Ridge, Guilford College, Le
noir College, Mt. Pleasant Col
legiate Institute, Rutherford
College, Elon College, Mars Hill,
and other strong University
teams of North'i'a'nd South Car
olina. Baseball practice will be-
gin ■ during the latter part ol
February and it is expected that
a large number will report for
initial practice.
The Pep joins, with the entire
college community in thanking
every contributor to Weaver’s
athletic success. This includes
the players, the second teams,
the rooters, the athletic officials,
the Board, the Alumni, and ev
eryone of the ■ hundreds who
have helped in any way. And
The Pep looks with confidence
to the.future, for the loyalty of.
Weaver’s friends seems to grow
as her needs expand. -
