According to Topics, the mem
bers of our baseball team and Fac
ulty not only exulted over our vic
tory, but went farther and de
nounced and vilified the Virginians.
The article referred to says their
.evidence is rumor and we have no
doubt that it is rumor and very er
roneous rumor at that. Surely we
know nothing- of it and Topics ac
knowledges that it knows of no
charges made against them. Neither
do we, and we doubt seriously if any
charges were made.
As for ''denunciation and vilifica?
tion," the only instance of anything
approaching this was the charge
made by Manager Tilton, of Vir
ginia, in a conversation with our
Manager, in which he exclaimed
that the Carolinians bad "broken
faith"and played two men who were
professionals, Stanly and Hill. But
this was denied. Mr. Tilton, in the
same conversation, said that Virgin
' a ' j 1 r
ia was sansnea ana so iar as we
know nothing more came of it. We
believed that the gentleman had
spoken during excitement and re
gretted making a charge so un
founded and which could be so easi
ly disproved. And we would never
have spoken of it had not Topics
made it necessary to tell who did
the vilifying. f ,

we are sorry that our sister college

that she looked at it in another

To those who believe that there
is a great waste of time at the Uni
versity in ball playing and to those
who would try to prejuidice the
public against our system of athlet
ics, we would mention the following
facts: V.
Our team has played ten games
this season with the leading college
baseball clubs of America, losing
only one garni;. All these games
except three were played on our own
grounds, and these three were play
ed on holidays and Saturdays. The
team has actually lost no time from
college duties, except one Friday
before the Virginia game when, af
ter consultation with and advice by
the Faculty, they went to Danville,
and a few hours Wednesday morn
ing on their return from the Yale
game at Greensboro.
Furthermore, there is not a single
man on the team who is here sim-
A Review of Athletics.
The baseball season has passed
and the team of '96 has left behind
it an enviable record, eclipsing that
of any of its predecessors. ! The
season began with poor prospects,
several good men, who were expect
ed to be with us, not being here,
and most of the material being com
posed of young players who had had
comparatively little experience. In
fact, at the beginning of the season,
it was the opinion of a prominent
member of the Advisory Committee
that our team would be the poorest
that ever represented old U., N. C.
But ."things go by contraries." At
least, the opposite happened this
spring. And looking tor the cause
of such unexampled success, we
find that it was due mainly to three
things; hard work by all the play-
. -4 m
ers, the proper and wise control or
the Faculty, and last but not least,
1 dl ULCLLllJ .
The men as a whole have worked
hard and honestly, playing for the
team and love of the 'Varsity, in
stead of for individual record as
heretofore. The result has been
that the men have ceased to try to
knock the cover off the ball and have
played to advatice the runner; the
runner and the batter have Worked
together, guided by the best, an in
truth, the only good coaching we
ever had. uniy two bad misplays
occurred during the season; one of
these was largely ' responsible for
the loss'of the Princeton game; the
other did not lose the game, but it
was just as bad, both of them being
caused by the outfielders running
together. With the exception of
these two plays, the fielding of the
team, during the whole season, has
been remarkably good, reaching its
climax in the brilliant work against
Virginia.
As regards Faculty control, we
want it. It is by far the wisest
and best course and insures purer
athletics, a larger chance for success
and much more resultant good in the
looked bjackest, in the hour before
dawn, they made the regulations
which were necessary to remove the
evils and left only that which was
good. , These coming during the
same seasou as our agreement with
Virginia, have, we believe, removed
every evil from our athletic life as
far as concerns the outside world.
But to our Captain, Ben Stanly,;
our success this season has been
largely due. Handicapped by many
circumstances and facing heavy odds,
without a coach or the idea of get
ting one, he produced the best team
the South ever saw, and he has
done it through kind, patient, steady
and impartial work with the men,
at the same time improving his own
playing, already brilliant. He had
noticed and knew the faults of our
team last year and, better still, he
was the one who knew how to re
move them. And by his own exam
ple, he infused into the players a
spirit which proved a winning one.
He stands at the front of our cap
tains, an example to be studied and
followed, yet with it all, the same
modest, unassuming and popular
"Pat."
These together with a loval col
lege spirit and general co-operation
of the students as a whole, have, in
our opinion, been the causes which
enabled us to defeat Yale and to
pay off some old scores with Vir
ginia.
But the good, which will result
from the experiences of the present
year, does not stop at the end of
this season. We have done far more
than beat Virginia for we have
learned .v hat athletics really mean.
and there has grown up among us a
spirit which argues well for the
success of coming seasons. Let such
a spirit continue to grow and we
firmly believe that the record of
this season will be eclipsed and we
hope to go on the diamond next year
under the same efficient leader, and
with the determination to do our
best.
