Facts . Baseball. about for busines The man who dallies this year will be damned. Compe tition will be fierce, there are many Papers Read by Dr, Y;ith the bright days that have recently come upon us, has also come a renewed, interest in athletic pursuits. During- the cold, dis. agreeable weather interest is to a great extent lost in athletes and athletics, in, spite of the articles of S.I. A. A. Bored, and his correspon dent, but this feeling- is cast off up on the return of sunshine and warmth. This fact is well evi denced by the numbers that now crowd on the Athletic field, to take part in the healthy sports of tennis, hockey and baseball, and the man ner in which the different athletes are discussed, their records, and their prospects. Although hockey is just being- in troduced here, it is greatly patron ized and with a certain class of boys is very 'popular. Of course thi class'has not amonjr its members the football men, it is most too tame for them, but those fellows who are not favored with stalwart frames, like "Big" Councill, pur sue the pleasures at this game with an aviditv that satisfies even the enthusiastic instructor, Vonden Steinin. Tennis is also getting its full share of patronage during this weather. Horner Winston, the or ganizer of last year's association, has- announced that there will be another tournament this year. The Association will meet in a few days to arrange the preliminaries. The tournomcnt will b'eg4n about the first of March. All members of the Tennis Association will be al lowed to , contest. The prizes for the single and double champions will be rackets. Winston predicts that the success will -be even great er than1 that of I last' year. Many of the. tennis courts have been im proved in the last, month,, in prepa ration for the opening season. Captain Holt was seen last night and although; not', very; talkative as to the prospects of his team, he cave one to? understand; that- the team turned out thb year- would be a winner. Most of the candidates are players. of -great! experience, and with the work of Coach' Ashenback be feels that from such material a good team, will; be secured: He insists- that, all ; candidates come out now every day possible, for, as he says,, thereJs a certain amount of preliminary work that must be done at one timse.-on another. . If this pre liminrry work. is delayed aud there is a reaction in the weather, later, it would be the cause of our going on the diamond With little regular practice.

Battle and Then the conflict arose as to who For the benefit of the new men in college, a few facts are given con- ! cerning the records of the more prominent candidates. ! For the position of pitcher there are four candidates as yet. Wil cox, Sweeney, Smith and N. Gra- ' ham. Wilcox has had considerable 1 experience while in college, this is the third season he has served on Varsity. Sweeney is a new man but he brings with him a great rep utation as a baseball twirler. He an address by Prof. Raper on "The Conflict! between the Executive and thfe Legislature in Colon'u Times "was highly entertaining as v well as instructive. Among other things Prof. Raper said: "There is more to be learned from studying the conflicts among the different departments of gov ernment than from a study of the acts of peace and quietude. If you una hppti n1;ivitir nn tirvmf tpam z o i M i take any government and study the tor smui1 vp;ir Smith arm rL J , , ,A, , , conflicts between its departments ry ., r, , ttt-, ' you will learn much of the spirit of i its peopie, many or our mstitu tions and laws of today date fur ther back than the time of Alfred to the advanced training we have. Let us not fail to profit by this ad vantage." The motto, of. his team will be hard and regular practice. From the look in his eye while say ing this it was evident that he is in Councill played on Med team of '01: Patterson haj played with his home team, Chapel Hill, for soma time. Wilcox G. played on his class team two years. For the position of first base are Holt, captain, Brem and Pritchard, Holt has held this position on Varsity for two years, and has made for himself an enviable record during that time. Brem has held the same position on the Scrubs for two yeers. He is a man who rises above conditions; he plays ball in spite of himself. Pritchard played on Oxford team last year. For second base Cocke and Graves L. Cocke was second base man last season. He is the best man for this place has who been here for years. Graves, second baseman on Scrubs '00, short stop '01, has a fine record as an all-round ath lete. For short stop are Carr W. and John Cheshire. Carr was sub- outfielder in 1900, and short stop on the Varsity in 1901. He has a remarkable record. Cheshire, cap tain of Horner's team '01, has had good training and will doubtless make a good player. For third base are Smathers and Manager Graham. Smathers played on class team in '00, but in '01 by hard work he made Varsity. When he undertakes a thing he car ries with him the determination to win, and has yet to meet failure in college athletics. Graham has Leen Scrub 3rd. baseman for two years. Donnelly is the only candidate for left field. He played right' field in '99, out in '00, and in '01 ! hanged to left field. He is a hard j hitter and a sure outfielder. i For centre are A. Graham and Ahrens. Graham, centre in '00 "It was the conflict of the 13th century that has given Parliament the substantial control which has lasted. There did come a kind of reaction when the Tudors came to the throne in the 16th. century but it lasted for a short time. The Stuarts tried to do something that the Tudors had done, but they failed because of the change in the people. The Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights were the results of this great conflict between Parliament and the King. "In the Colonial days, the rela tion between the English govern ment and the American colonies was that of sovereign to subjects. All the colonies except Rhode Island, Connecticut and Pennsylva nia were royal provinces at one time or another. Each had a governor appointed by the King, who was therefore amenable to the Kins-. 1 hese governors were, in most cases, Englishmen and for that reason felt bound to look after the claims of the Kiny. The lower branch of the legislative depart ment was elected by the colonists and was amenable to them. The should manage the agent. The Legislature wanted to manage him and the Governor wanted to man age him. The result was practi cally the same as in the other two cases, the Crown yielded to the Colonies. Another question for controversy was the money. Mon ey is a great question in any nation, and an index to the standing of any people. The serious conflict arose as to who should regulate tin- fis cal policy. The governor declared that he alone had the right to ap point the Treasurer, and the Leg islature declared the same right to belong only to them. In this, neither faction would yield. The fifth and last important cause for conflict w;is over the Courts and Judges. This is as important as the fiscal question. It was neces- sarv, it the crown was to carry out its policy, that it should control the judicial system. The same was true with the Legis'atures of the colonies. In this, as in the case of the fiscal policy, neither party would yield, and these were two of the questions that were finally set tled by the result of the Revolu tion. "The Legislatures did not yield in a single one or the live points mentioned, while the crown yielded in all except two. It thus becomes evident that .the Revolution really began very early in the I8th. cen tury. We, to-day have institutions which are the result of conflicts away back in English history. The Constitution, which was drawn up for the new government, was the development of seventy-five years of history. These facts make the Revolution easily explained. It was the result of the conflicts of the eighteenth century which taught us the need of three distinct func tione of government, instead of one head for all."

The conflict between these was an interesting one, and resulted in the institutions which we now have as a nation. "Very early in the history of each colony this conflict began over the land. The governor, who was appointed by the crown, wanted to manage the land for the crown. He tried to impose higher rents. On the other hand the colonists, who were poor, wanted low quit rents.
