It is taxed to its ut most by the enthusiastic candidates for the base-ball team, ; and what with all the hitting and chasing of the wary sphere a very inspiring picture is made. Sixty or seventy have applied so far. A glance at the men shows a very large propor tion of these to be of little expe rience and far below Varsity stand ard; but there is left abundant ma terial to build a good team from. Besides, the first practices have shown the men full of dash and, spirit and there has been no loiter ing; everything has gone off , with snap. . Captain Stanley will, on his re turn next Monday, be met by a col lege of loyal supporters and a quo ta of applicants far above the aver age both in "quantity and quality. It is thought best for several rea sons not to publish the schedule of fruttiii fnr ht Snritio- nniT lafp in the season. When all the arrange ments are completed the schedule will be made public. It is of inter est to note, however, that for the first time Virginia will play us on i rr ... 1 i our own ground- wice in tne past we have played them at Char lottesville winning the first and losing the second. It will be a pleas ure to have the Virginians with us and we must do all in our power to make their stav a pleasant one while they are our guests. We meet a new antagonist this Spring in the University of Penn sylvania. A series of two games will enable us to test their, powers Let us hooe that the White and Blue will come out-first in the struccrle. Yale and Princeton will again try conclusions with us, and we expect to greet our old friends Lafayette and Lehigh once more.lt is always a pleasure to have these gentlemen with us. The schedule, as far as arranged, is the best we have ever had. Now let every son of the University show himself ; loyal and stretch ' every nerve to help Captain Stanley put put the best team the University has ever had, one which will rival or excel the phenomenal record, of last Spring. . Second Indoor Athletic Contest. The second indoor athletic con test will take place on the after noon of January 27th at 2:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The program will consist 1. Pull up. (Chinning.) 2. Running high jump. Skipping ' rope; two minutes. Standing broad jump. Potato race; ten potatoes. " one is invited to see Georgia Letter. 3. 4. 5, Every contest. this Y. M. C. A.

After a delightful Christmas va cation of two weeks the University of Georgia reopened for the Spring Session on the 5th of January. Twenty new students registered, the three hundred mark was passed and our records in attendance was broken. Never before in its history has the University had over 280 memDers, ana consequently tnis. event was looked upon as one of importance both by the students and the faculty. At the last session of the legisla ture $14,000 were appropriated for a new building, which when finished is to be occupied by the department of Electrical Engineering; and will relieve us from the cramped posi tion in which we have been placed Our new athletic field, which is being constructed, Will perhaps be the prettiest in the South. It is beautifully situated, and is going to add much to the appearance of the campus. Heretofore our base-ball teams have ' been compelled to seek other grounds, but upon the, com pletion of this field, they will have an abundance of territory. The event of the month will be the 'performance of the Thalian Drammatic Club, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. This or ganUation is composed of a number ofexcellent actors and musicians. and has afforded much amusement and pleasure to the students since its advent in college. Casper Whitney's write-up of our foot-ball team, and the place he ac corded us in Southern athletics were cause of much gratification to all our students.- This year a stren uous effort will be made even to eclipse the record of the invincibles of '96. Kent, who has played at tackle for three years is the new captain. .; Just at present the prospects for a crack base-ball team are indeed bright. Though only three of last year s men are Dacic, yet an aouna ance of good material can be found ong the new men; and Hugh S. Jenning, Baltimore's famous short stop, has been secured to coach us . '1 r i 1 i again tnis year tor tnirty aays The class cames are to befrin late in i February and by the first of April the 'Varsity will be selected. Our track team, which will be under an able tra.ner, is eroinjr to Nashville in May for the first time, to take part in the Inter-collegiate Meet. The University holds two of the world's records, and we are. ex pecting great things ot the team this season. ' Our new magazine, "The Gcor- t 1 4 1 ' J ... . ' gian, wmcn macie us appearance mto the held ot journalism Jast tall, has met with wonderful success, and has aroused much enthusiasm in college. Taking everything into consid eration the session '96- 97 so far, has been a glorious one, one that has fully satisfied the members of the University, as well as its sup porters and admirers.

A meeing of the General Ath letic Association , was called last Saturday afternoon for the purpose of "booming" our base-ball inter ests boh by encouraging speeches and by pecuniary assistance to the management. Dr. Venable, Dr. Baskerville, Messrs. W. J. Bellamy, R. H. Wright, D. B. Smith, W. S. How ard and others made short . talks, and offered suggestions about "run- After this contribution lists were around, and within a few minutes one hundred and seventy two dollars were' raised as a "star ter." , .... '. This is a rine beginning and prom ises a subscription from the students and faculty of at least four hundred dollars, after which the alumni,: as usual, will come forward with their customary generosity. With this start, the present Manager, Mr. Howard, will begin on a firm foun dation and the season will be a most successful one in every way. The team of the incoming Spring will have the best schedule of games ever arranged betore, and many important contests will take place on our home grounds. Al most the first of these is with the University of Virginia on March 27, so the season promises to posses, a special interest for Chapel Hillians. Report of Committee on Absences.
