The Manager of the baseball team then named as his Assistant, I. F. Lewis, subject to ..the ratification of the Committee, which was im mediately given. , ;. ( : A very important discussion then arose on the subject of entering our track team in the Southern Meet in New Orleans, this Spring.' After fully discussing the question the Committee decided in favor of doing so.dependent on two conditions;first that a worthy team be developed; and, second, that the team receive financial support sufficient to justify the Atlantic Association in under taking the expense of the trips.. G. R. Berkley, 03, was elected mana ger of. the Track.: Team. For-a full and more open discussion of sev eral matters, a meeting of the Gen eral Athletic Association, composed of the whole student body, was re quested for Saturday afternoon at 2:30. : . : : Meeting of Athletic Association A meeting of the A thleti: Associ ation was held in Gerard Hall last Saturday afternoon. The object of the meeting was to devise, a plan by which money, can be-raised to pu the Athletic Park in good trim for the coming ball season. President Berkeley .stated that the University had promised, $250 and the work be for1 the Association is to raise at .least$250 in a 1 Jition to this; several 1 IUrvwli ii tve to be spent on the .diamond before the ball season opens, and a grand stand will have to be built. A committee will be-tiamed- by- President Berke ley to wait on the boys, and it is tup-l 1 1 it t ley will contribute lib erally for the money is for a worthy purpose, and is badly needed-. The All-Southern Football Eleven. The February number of Outing has appeared. Useless to say it is entirely up to its usual high stand ard as a Sportsman's Magazine: The article which above all others contains interest for us is found on page 615, "Reviews of Southern Season, 1900." After commenting on the main features of the season's play, which he characterizes as "the prettiest, and ' most ragged, football ever played in the South," and declaring" Virginia unquestionably entitled to the first place in Southern football, Mr. Whitney makes out the All Southern Eleven as follows: j Simpkins (Sewanee), full-back. I Dabney (Virginia), and Seibels, Sewanee), half-backs. , Poole(Sewanee), center. Choice (Virginia) and Sams (Tex as), guards. ! ' Bennett (North Carolina), and Loyd (Virginia), 'tackles. 1 Hobson (Virginia), and Osborne (Carolina), ends. The quarter-back was not cho sen. ... 1.1 . 1 I among inose. wnose worK enti tled them to honorable mention" is MacRae (North Carolina). I Base Ball Schedule Mr. Thos. Worth, manager of the Base Ball team gives us the schedule below of games he has arranged for this Spring. Of course it is only a tentative schedule and several chan- ges, with some additions will prob ably be made. With a good team, like we should have and these big games. Carolina should stand way up in the base ball arena, out re member, every student in College must support the team. The man- ager has been canv, ssing for money latelv. He has met with quite a liberal response, but not near enough. Every man must give, not as little, but every cent as much as he can possibly afford for subscrip tions is the only way by which any money is raised at all for athletics here. And then another thing. This is ths , nly way that many, in fact a large majority of students' can show their interest. So from the start, on through the entire season, stand behind the nine and we will have a successful season and victo rious schedule. The games are as follows: Lafayette College, March 25th, Chapel Hill. Lafayette College, March 26th, Chapel" Hill. Clemson College, April 6th, Char lotte, N.' C. Lehigh University, April 8th, Winston, N, C. Lehigh University, April 9th, Chapel Hill. Cornell University, April 15th, Chapel Hill. Richmond College, April 19th Richmond, Va. University of Virginia, April 20th Charlottesville, Va. University of Maryland May 4th Chapel Hill. ' University of Georgia, May 9th, Athens, Ga. Georgia Technological Institute, May 10th, Atlanta. University of Georgia, May 11th Atlanta, Ga. Frank Bennett Jr. spent Satur day i a Hillsboro.-. Track Athletics. Last Tuesday was a great day for track athletics in the University. Never before has the subject met with such consideration, and its true importance been so realized and admitted, as by the concessions made by the Advisory Committee. We do not mean to intimate that these gentlemen have, ever taken a stand which was not for the Universitv's best athletic interests; we do believe, on the other hand. that their action is a sure and indis putable sign that the day of Track Athletics has begun here. Perhaps the most satisfactory explanation for the lack of interest shown here in track work, indeed the only good explanation is the fact that the work done by the team has until last year been so tame, so devoid of any competition and rivalry of a broad enough nature to arouse enthusiam. It has been merely a series of contests be a ft ft tween individuals. it A wins, "Good for A!" exclaim a few of the spectators; it would have been the same to them had B won. The only possibility of the Team's re flecting any credit on the University has lain in breaking records, Under the old conditions, this possibility has not of itself been inducement enough to make men strive for such attainment. What has been needed is bard competition, uast year s team is sufficient proof of that fact. Through the enthusiastic efforts of Mr. J. C. Horner, a Track Meeti of the State Colleges was organized; the University rose t.: the occasion by putting out one of the best teams she has ever had. It was the ex pectation of intercollegiate competi tion that did it. But higher things are now within our reach. We- have an opportu nity to establish Carolina's fame among the Colleges of the South. The track team is offered a trip longer and more interesting than any other taken by a team from the University. If these two things do not do away with the "tameness" of our track work, if these new features do not bring the track team up to its rightful place in the esti mate of the students, then we must be mistaken in our idea of the reasons of our failure hitherto. If there are other explanations of the indif ference of the student body, they can hardly hold now there is no place for any indifference to such opportunities as are before us. There are, it will be noted, two conditions, upon the fulfilment of which our participation , in the Southern Contest depends. There is hardly any reasonable doubt but that these will be easily met; there r r i . j- is no excuse ior iauure 10 meet them. A good enough team? We have it alreadv. Financial support? The students can be counted on to see to that. Campus. Chas. J. Parker of Raleigh, head of the Educational Bureau spent last Wednesday night on. the Hill... Communicated. It is exceedingly disagreeable to complain but when we see something going on in our midst which is to be deplored it appears to the writer that steps should be taken towards stop ping it. For years one of the greatest boasts of the University has-been the beauty of its campus and especially the beautiful square on which stands the Caldwell Monument and the Davie Pjplar. Every graduate has left with a vivid remembrance of the spot where he and his class mates "smoked the pipe of peace" and went through the others of those solemn ceremonies the last they should participate in as undergradutes. In fact the plot has always been, ina sense, sacred and naturally there has been developed a sort of reverence for it. But of late the writer has noted a decided tendency on the part of certain lazy individ uals to save a few steps at the ex pense of the square. Instead of following the paths these thought less ones cut across and in one or two places the grass has been trod den until there is almost a beaten foot-path. Such a fact is to be sincerely re gretted. It is too bad that this beautiful plot should be thus mar red on account of either the laziness or thoughtlessness ofa small portion of the students. Last Spring the same tendencies were exhibited but through com ment a strong sentiment was arous ed against such desecration and it was stopped before serious damage had been done. The protest comes in ample time this year and it is to be hoped that the. practice will be stopped immedi ately. ' Let all who take pride in the beauty of our campus and the preservation of the charms with which nature has so richly endowed it, cooperate in putting a stop to this evil and such a strong senti ment will be raised against it that no more appeals will be necessary.
