A "1T HI JR, LAM Vol.11. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL! HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, MARCH 21; 1903. No. 22. THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION . ' ; ' ' ; ' BINGHAM vs. The First Game of the Season Easily Won by Carolina. Score 6 to 0. The outcome of our game with the William Bingham School, of Mebane last Saturday, although we won, as indeed was confidently ex pected by all, is not at all encour aging and not a little dissatisfaction has been plainly expressed by the supporters of the white and blue. The prevalent opinion is, it seems, that Carolina should have worsted the visitors something like 10 or 15 to 0. And in our judgement this is not an extravagant estimate. We do not wish to be understood how ever as advocating the principle that we expect impossibilities of our team, and it is trusted that this im pression will not be created and given credence; but every one knows, and will not contend for one moment, that Carolina played the ball that she was capable of doing. It is true that the visitors had a fairly good team arid played splen did ball, but when it is remembered that they are not in our class and that two of our runs were made by costly errors, the reasonableness of our critism, harsh though it may seem, is clearly justified. If we are to sustain our former" base ball records we must play better and ball, of this there can be no doubt. The reason for our failue to run up a large score against Bingham is, not that our boys failed to do neat fielding,, for as it is known the infield work, especially that of Holt at first and Graham at third, was simply made to order, but be cause they had not been accustomed to batting left hand pitchers and consequently they could not get their eye on the ball. There is no doubting the fact that the Bingham twirler, though of mediocre ability, struck Carolina like a "steam en gine in trousers." The rooting at the game, includ ing the sonorious voices of Jack Roundtree and Ham Irwin, is de serving of the greatest praise possible. During the whole game, we believe, only three yells were given and then with no life and enthusiam. We must awake to the realization of our position. Col lege spirit must not be dormant. We have a game to play that must be won and if we don't have the proper spirit behind our team, de feat, rather than victory, will sure ly be ours. The erame in detail was as fol lows: Weatherly for Bingharn hits the sphere hard to Cheshire who throws him out at first.
