t: TTTTI Li Vol. 12, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY M, 1904. No. 13. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. A "TTD M Base Ball Schedule. Kterestlmc Series Prepared by Manager Worth. The base ball schedule for this 'spring is given below. Manager Worth is to be congratulated on ac count of his success in securing so many games that are worth win There is only one regret. 1 he schedule printed below is not as complete as it was at first. We had an engagement to play Yale in Norfolk the day before Virginia plays the sams team there, but the date has been cancelled. Why this was done we know not. It could not have been because we were afraid of losing money on the trip, for a man who would go one hun dred miles to see Virginia play Yale would certainly go a few miles fur ther to see Carolina play Yale also. Nor could the game have been can celled for fear of losing the game. For, Virginia does not seem to be afraid to try her hand, and our rec ord last year will not 'let us be. Carolina showed, for instance, in her game against Georgetown, in what class the University of North Carolina belongs in base ball. And when she refuses to keep an engage ment with a team such as Yale's, one that will give Carolina a chance to show her ability and to gain prestige, a mistake is made, we think.

He was on his way to accept the position of curate in one of the large churches of New York City. It must be galling to an old graduate to be called a "Christmas gift" on his first return to his old haunts. Dr. Baskerville. The Carnegie Institute of Wash ington, D. C, has granted Dr. Chas. Baskerville $1,000 for his work in science this year. This institution has an income of about $500,000, which is divided among the worthy scientific men of the country. Dr. Baskerville is deservingly one of the fortunate ones, as his work during the past year has attracted wide attention throughout the coun try. At the St. Louis meeting of the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science the report on research carried on by Dr. Basker ville, assisted by a grant of $50 from the Association was accepted. The grant was increased to $100, so that Prof. Baskerville may con tinue his investigation of certain of the rare earths occurring in mono- zite sands. BASE BALL PROSPECTS. The first American to receive a Cecil Rhodes scholarship is Eugene keham, Yale, '02. Answers to Correspondents. Spr-nt N-vvt-n: No, we have no knowledge of a complexion cure guaranteed to straighten out the features and restore beauty to the face. You might try Pear's Soap T-m H-ll: The sensation of gen oral lassitude and disinclination for work is a very common complaint. It is said to arise from a lack of gray matter in the brain. Try Conic Sections for "that tired feel ing." R. M. H-rp-r: Electricity is said to be a good tonic for the scalp and often puts a stop to falling, hair. You might get treatment from Dr. Utley at the Power House or con nect up with a lightning-rod during a thunder-storm. H-lt-n: The following has been reccommended to us as a good re cipe for permanently curling the hair: Soak the hair for half an hour in any good, strong glue. Then taking up each lock one by one, curl them gently but firmly over the finger and tie with pink ribbon Then set aside to cool and harden- When treated in this way, the hair is said to remain curled almost in definitely. B-ll-y J-n-s: We are at a loss to tell you What to do to make your figure light and graceful, since you state that you wear a No. 10 shoe and a 48-inch waist. We note by the adyertising departments of the magazines that R. & G corsets are the thing for stout fig ures. A. M. N-bl-, Jr.; No, we should n't think one of these little derbvs everybody is wearing would become your style of beauty, if your descrip tion of yourself is accurate. We think that a high silk stove-pipe and a Prince Alberts what you want. Billy looked at Mary Oh, what a pretty Miss! He stole a little ntarer, Then bashful stole away. Yale Record. Coach Curran Gives a Line as to the Prospects for a Winning Team This Year. U. N; C.'s base ball prospects for this spring are very promising indeed. The base ball material in college makes us think that we are going to have a nine of winners that shall cause us to feel just as proud as we were of the team which last spring ruined Virginia and George town. The situation is made clear by Coach Gurran: . "Carolina is going to have a good team this spring, one that the stud ents will be glad to support. Of course, though, you know we have lost several fine players since last year Holt, Carr and Smathers. But their places will be taken, and we may express the hope that their positions will be filled as well as they were last year. And then, you know, we have back this year a good big bunch of last year's nine. Let's see, there's Donnelly. Oldham, Cheshire, Hart, Noble, Green and Giles. Giles' arm is well again, and we are expecting him back any day now. And so, when we go up against George town, George Green will have prac tically the same old team behind i; that is, if he does something like taking a B. L. By the way, we have some last year's scrubs back, who are going , to shine this year if they keep up their good work. I recall Hal Worth, Paison arid Buck Harris. "Among the new men who have played ball before they came here are Mo wen and Hobgood. The lat ter, I judge from the reputation he has made for himself as pitcher for Wake Forest, will no doubt do even better with a better team behind him. We expect Worth Murphy to twirl it still faster than he did for Georgia Tech. now that he is at his own State's college. Besides, Pace, who held down first bag for Wake Forest last year is in college. and you know we need a man to take Earl Holt's place. "So, I think, considering the old and the new men, that there is no reason why we should not turn out a winning team this spring. The boys have already begun to take snatch practices on the old athletic field, and in about three weeks I am going to start regular practices with ginger to make this good team that I have been telling you about." The Lemmert Cup. Our Athletic Association has just received a beautiful solid silver Lov ing Cup. It is the gift of Mr. John R. Lemmert, the famous clothing man, of Baltimore. The cup is made of solid silver and bears the inscription: "The Lemmert Cup." Mr. Lemmert has given this eup with the intention of encouraging and stimulating all general ath letics. It is a thoughtful and ap propriate gift and we are sure that it will be appreciated by the en tire student bodv. Mr. Lemmert has left it to the discretion of the Advisory Commit tee to determine how it shall be used so as to most nearly accomplish his purposes. It has not yet been de cided how the cup shall be used but it is thought that it will be used to stimulate an interest in Track Ath letics. This is to be done by plac ing the cup in the library and allow ing the class which wins the most points in field meet to have its name and the date of the victory cut on the cup. We are sure the cup could be given to nothing that could come any nearer bringing about the design of Mr. Lemmert. Our track ath letics have for a long time needed some kind of encouragement. Too much interest has centered around foot ball and base .ball, while too little attention has been given to track athletics. We trust that this cup shall create a new interest in this direction and that the result of such an interest shall be improved until it shall occupy a place in Southern athletics as high as that of our other two teams. If this is done we are sure that the purpose of his gift will be realized. Mr. Lemmert has been very suc cessful as a business man. On the streets of every city in the South you will see men wearing clothing bearing his mark. The students here are deeply grateful to Mr. Lemmert for his generous and fitting rift and trust that the business of this ooen-handed and broad-minded man shall grow with the years. Knocker's Column. To the Editor: The writer has heard indirectly but positively, that an engagement on the base ball schedule was brok en without the wish of the Base Ball Manager, and that there are some instances on this year's sched ule of engagements made without knowledge of the manager. Al most everybody in college has heard the above instances and several sim ilar ones characterized as imperial by the students. But, still the students stay peaceful while they lose the power that belongs to Uni versity men in the management of their own athletics. It seems that the athletic association, the advis ory committee, the manager, etc, are all being quietly made figure heads, and the power is being as sumed by the superior authority, Nothing has been said so far by our athletic organ the reason can easily be inferred. A general kick is coming though, if this sort of thing continues. It is perfectly right that a kick should come, for the students know that it would-be nard to point out any other collegtt or university in the country where the students are getting under the rf- thumb so fast as they are here at U. N. C. Dr. A. S. Wheeler lectures in the chapel tonight at 8 o'clock on "Syn thetical Chemistry."
