With bat t'VO of-the team-of this year s.r.iilitr! insr, . two of whom will re turn ne:;l .year for graduate work, there is every reader, to believe that the team oi' ne?;t year will be as" far head of tlie team of this year, which was ahead of anything that fliad represented, the college before it. The schedule, is well balanced, there being but one occasion when two difficult games follow one an other. A. & M. and Carolina are on. the schedule and it is believed that 'the score of next year will even be closer than the one last fall. The most important game to the student body is the Davidson game, which will be played in Charlotte Thanksgiving. There are two open dates on the schedule, though Manager Harwood is in corcspondence with different teams for both dates. It is very probable that the United States Ship Franklin, will fill one of these open dates. The schedule is as follows: September 28' University Col lege of Medicine at Wake Forest. October a The University of South Carolina at Columbia. , October 12 -The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. October 111- Open. October 20 Washington and Lee at Lexington. November 2 A. & M. at .-Raleigh', November fl 'Medical College of Virginia at ...Wake . Poses t. November l(i Open. November 28 Davidson at Char lotte. JCrrors at critical moments gave Wake Forest an easy victory over Horner Military School" in the open ing game of the season at this place Saturday afternoon. The final score was 7 to 1; The game was poorly played and uninteresting but this may be accounted lor by the fact that the teams have had little oppor tunity for practice. The preps made as many hits and fewer errors than Wake. Forest, but all their errors were costly, one of them letting in the first three 'runs, of the game. The pitching of Meadow of the preps was the only feature of the game. If. 11. K. Horner . . ...ink) ittft iino--1 c, ;', Wake For.-si . oun Sort u 2x -7 6 - f ' cm itT i;nsi i;i:s cAitrso.
