RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
When asked to sketch briefly the
improvements in the team's work, Dr
Lawson spoke about as follow:
"bwink, v itherington, and Poole
are improviong- steadily. Swink's
throwing is slowly getting better. The
The hitting of Stewart and Duncan is
still weak. The entire infield, especi
ally Duncan, are not receiving the
balls straight in front of them as they
should. Buie makes too manv one
hand slops, but he gets his throw to
first under way much better than for
merlv. Johnston is slow and his
chances to make good are not so
brisrht as thev were last week. His
hitting is poor. Rose is rapidly im
proving in both hitting and fielding-.
His sliding is the best. Hackney's
hitting is getting sensational. Til-
let is working- hard. Williams, is im
proving in his pitching but will prob
ably be used as utility fielder. Sloan's
work is good.
in Siiuing lue team as a wlioie is
deficient. Kose and Hackney seem to be
the only ones who can turn the trick.'
The work of next week will be, as it
has been this, base running- empha
sized. -
Tennis
The tennis tournament for college
singles championship honors has been
postponed until the courts can be g-ot
into proper condition. Work is to be
begun immediately upon the courts,
leveling them and getting them trim
for the Spring's work in tennis. The
small disagreeable cinders and gravel
are to be raked away, the few depres
sions leveled, and the court previous
ly surfaced for Varsity work is to be
scraped and rolled for constant use.
The other courts are to be drag-ged
and smoothed. After this work is
completed the college tournament will
start. The names of those entered,
the ones they are to play, and the Uni
ted length of each round will be
shown on a large placard in the wind
ow of the Athletic Store.
Track
Track athletics took a forward
stride Monday, when at a meeting- of
the class team managers it was decid
ed to hold an inter-class track meet on
April 28th. To take part in this
meet are eligible those who have never
made one point in an inter-collegiate
meet. Prizes will be given to the
star contestants and to the class win
ning the most points of the meet will
go a banner duly inscibed. The man
agers and captains of the respective
classes are anxious that men should
come out and work for class track
athletics, and do issue an urgent call
for the support and backing of the
men in their class.
This class movement intends to be
gin at once, and deserves the students
backing-. Seniors report to S. F.
Teague, or Sam Stroup, Juniors to
Belk or Solomon, Sophomores to Claud
league or F. B. Drane, and Fresh
men to Norman Vann or F. Thomson.
MaxliiiiUian Dick with his violin
the Star Performer ;
E. I. Burnett is spending several
days with his people at Monticello,
Fla.
Mr. Maximilian Dick, violinist, was
the outstanding- fig-ure in the concert
given by the Central Grand Concert
Company in Gerrard Hall Saturday
night. The work of Miss Edith Adams
violoncellist, Mrs. Aubi Pearle-Meyer,
soprano, ana Mr. Aaoipn jvnauer, pi
anist, was excellent but far surpassed
in Mr. Dick's performance.
In' the first solo number he succeeded
in completely winning his audience.
The piece was taust Fantasieoi Sara
sate, a piece which came up to the
popular idea of classical, in that it
contained numerous emphatic runs and
slides over the highest dotes. Students
do not usually appreciate this sort of
thing and Mr. Dick played his first
part amid some audible expressions of
disapproval. But bit by bit, he drew
his listeners to him until he finished
in a silence that was more expressive
than the most violent applause. He
gave Suwauee River, with variations,
as an encore. Hcj'ere Kati of Hubay
was his Other solo number. It is to be
unhesitatingly said that Mr. Dick
pleased better than any violinist Chap
el Hill has heard in recent years. He
impressed his audience as being- aj-eal
' - - "
musician.
Miss Edith Adams, one of the few
women who have succeeded as 'cellists
gave Concerto Andante and Finale)
of Lidner and Spanish Dance, Popper,
in a manner that pleased. The Span
ish Dance with its g-ayety and abandon
was perhaps the better received. Vio-
oncello selections are not usually as
well appreciated here as pieces upon
a more familiar instrument, but 'Miss
Adams' performance has demonstrated
that the fault has lain with the per-
ormer and not with the instrument.
The concerted . numbers in which
Miss Adams' Mr. Dick, and Mr.
Knauer participated were the best on
the program outside of Mr. Dick s
solos. The gentleness of Mendels
sohn's Trio First movement) furnish
ed a delightful opening- to the eve
ning's pleasure. Novelets, Gade, was
another enjoyablg concerted number.
The three instruments blended well
and .made this part of the program
a marked success. Mr. Knauer rend
ered Chopin's Polonaise A Flat) as a
solo.
Mrs. Pearle-Meyer's soprano voice
can best be described as velvety. It
was of a purity and depth far superior
to that of the average Lyceum enter
tainer. She sang- the aria from Mig
non, A. Thotnas with a clearness and
sympathy that proclaimed her an ar
tist. The two later pieces The Silver
Fiigarid La Serenata from the Ital
ian of Tosti were bright and delect
able. ,t New Books in Library
We are g-iving- below a partial list
of the books which have recently been
placed on the shelves of the University
library. In this list we give only the
books that are of more or less general
interest, omitting- most of those of a
technical character. While they are

A stronger interest is being evinced
in music this spring than has been
shown by the students in the last col
lege generation. The Musical Associ
ation has been more effectively organ
ized with R. S, McNeill, president; W.
B. Ellis, vice-president; J. R. Wild
man, secretary and treasurer; W. H.
Overton and C. T. Woolen, directors;
and J. G. Beard, business manager.
The Glee Club and Orchestra are prac
tising daily. Twenty-six men have
been chosen out of the number of cand
idates for places in the Orchestra and
Glee Club.
The Glee Club and Orchestra will
give performances in eight towns of
the State.,. Manager Beard has ar
ranged the following excellent sched
ule: Winston-Salem, March 26; Chap
el Hill, March 31; Wilson, April 4;
Tarboro, April 5; Goldsboro, April 6;
New Bern, April 7; Washington, A
pril 8; and Fayetteville, April 9. The
second appearance will be in Gerrard
Hall during Junior Week and will be
featured along with the Carolina-Wake
Forest track meet, the Senior Stunt,
and the Junior Promenade. Soon aft-
er their appearance nere iney win
leave for the eastern trip in a private
car. The numoer or me men ana me
closeness of the dates has made this
luxury a necessity. Good houses have
been promised in all the towns. V rom
all reports the Glee Club and Orchestra
are the best of recent years.
