AU communications for this paper should
be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief by
Monday at noon to insure publication the
same week. We shall be glad to publish
pertinent discussions of college topics. The
Tar Heel will welcome news items, and
hopes the whole college will aid it along
this line.
On Monday the first game of base
ball fer this season will be played
against Lafayette College and an
other game will be played against
the same team on Tuesday. The
admission to each game will be
&) cents and it is only right that
every student in college should turn
out and help the boys on. The
game will be played on the new
athletic field, which is already
better field than the old one. The
diamond is very hard and fast and
the outfield is in good condition
The 'Varsity has been practising
on this field for the past few days
and they are now pretty well ac
customed to it.
lhe practicr during the past
week has 'been very helpful and
shows decided improvement in all
the players. The men have livened
up considerably and the base run
ning and batting have improved a
great deal. The infield and out
field is strong and the battery work
is good. Captain Gaaves returned
last waek and he has greatly liven
ed up the players. Pendleton who
was playing catch has gone to the
field and is playing nice ball. Will
Carr has been pnt at short and with
a little more practise will make a
fine infielder and Smathers who
has been placed at third will im
prove with practice. No other
changes have been made and all the
old men show decided improvement
Geo. Graham has been laid up with
injuries for the past week and he
will not be able to play again be
fore next week. The men are be
coming accustomed to . ignals and
show their benefits. Coach Meade
W rendering 'great service in his
constant criticism and instruction
The prospects now are decidedly
bright and there is no reason why
Carolina should not have a success
ful season and winning nine, but it
all does not depend on the players,
the college boys must root for the
boys and show them that the college
is behind them. The Chief Cheer
er and his Subs will be out and lead

It will not be many weeks before
our games begin, and the chief cheer
er and his force will have to begin
their inspiring work. It may be
that now is a good time to say a few
things on the subject of our cheer
ing.
It would be a very easy thing for
our cheering to be better than it is.
The only trouble at present is a lack
of concerted practice. Almost every
man in college knows all the yells,
but there is a big difference between
knowing how to repeat a yell, and
knowing how to give it in unison
with a crowd. As matters stand at
present, when the chief cheerer calls
for a yell, there is never any failure
to respond on the part of the crowd
generally; still, all do not respond.
Some stay out from lack of confi
dence. Then the lack of perfection
in the first effort or two, scares out
most of those who have a kind of
sneaking idea that they "busted"
on the one just given.
This state of affairs can easily be
improved upon. It would be the
easiest thing in the world almost
any; evening, in the loafing hour
right after supper, to have a mass
meeting; not a semi-formal affair in
the Chapel, with speeches, and all
that, but just a crowd to yell, out
of doors, around the well, for instance.
Two or three such natural re
hearsals as that, by full crowds,
would make a very decided improve
ment in our cheering. It would
then be possible to give our teams a
"Yackety Yack!" or a "Boom Rah
Ray!" with deep volume from sever
al hundred throats, instead of the
rather weak and disconnected yells
given last fall.
It is suggested that the chief
cheerer appoint his assistants thus
early in the season, and that they get
seriously to work in accustoming
crowds to be led in concerted cheer-
With this issue begins an institu
tion which we hope will be of pracr
tical service to all our college read
ers the calendar, which we hope
to publish regularly. The desire is
jto publish here everything in the
way of announcements, such as those
which are posted on the bulletin
boards. Meetings of all krads
mass meetings, German Club meet
ings, Scientific Society meetings, Y.
M. C. A. meetings; all lectures, and
entertainments of like nature; and
announcements by members of the
faculty to their classes, such as the
dates of specials, all these thing's
are examples of the kind of material
we desire to include. Several mem
bers of the faculty have already ex
pressed their hearty approval of the
plan, and offered their assistance.
It is hoped that the members of the
University will follow their exam
ple, both faculty and students, and
at all times make use of its column.
Properly carried out, it should be
one of the most valuable features of
the paper.
Track Team.
About thirty candidates reported
to Captain Osborne on Friday for
track team work. Thev started
immediately with regular training.
This trainiug will consist of special
work in the Gymnasium and on the
track. The menwill be trained un
der the direction of Mr. Weeks, the
gymnasium instructor, who will use
the methods in vogue at all the un
iversities. The men have been di
vided into different groups, accord
ing to what class of work they are
to do, with a captain over each group
who is to have direct control of their
training.
The out-door practice started on
Saturday and will now continue as
long as the weather permits. The
prospects are exceedingly bright
and many more candidates will re
port in the next few days.
