A DEFEAT AND A VICTORY
HE
Carolina Has An Unusually
? Good Array of Talent
; Manager R. E. Little, Jr. lias
finally arranged the baseball
sched ule; f or this year. The
se lied ule speaks highly for the
efforts of "Kitty". Not only
has lie nrranged a schedule of
twenty-three games, but he has
also arranged for ten of them to
be played on the Hill. f V
One of the. features .of. this
year's schedule is the fact that
eleven games of the twenty
three are with North Carolina
teams Five teams are to be met
which wore not played last year.
They are, Elon, Bingham of
Asheville, Richmond College,
University of ! South Carolina,
and Winston League. The open
ing game, as usual, will be with
Oak Ridge, March 1), on' the
Hill.
Regular practice will hardly
begin vet unless the weather im
proves. At present the field is
in .pretty poor shape and some
work will have to be done before
it is ready for use.
The outlook fur the te;m is es
pecially bright. The Freshman
Class contains tpiite a number of
inlieldets and pitchers. Then
again several new faces will be
seen on the 'field this year. At
no time within the last four
years has Carolina had so much
promise of a good team.
Ca pt. Wood al 1 will mall' prob
ability do the catching. As is
well known, he is without a peer
among- college receivers in the
South. Beside the new men
who will-aid in grounding out
the pitching stall, there are Ay
cock, Williams, Shields and Tan
dy. Not since the days of Ray
mond Lee has Carolina had such
an array of pitchers.
Of the infielders Patterson,
Hardison, and Lewisoflast year's
team are back Among the new
men who will try for infield po
sitions are Pope, Sheek, Bruce,
and others. In the outfield Hu
bert Baily is the only regular oh
the job. Nance, a sub last year,
and several new men will try for
outfield berths.
With all this array of talent
there is no reason why Carolina
should not have one of the best
teams in years. Anyway it will
be only a short time until the
call for candidates will be issued.
It is then that the real work be
gins. Out of a total of about
seventy-five men who report for
first practice a team will be
chosen. It is not doubted that
there will be a fight for every po
sition. ' V' '''

P BUSINESS MANAGER
Americas Foremost Religious
Worker Here Next Week
Lest the importance of Dr.
Mott's coming to the University
be forgotten, the following points
may be of interest.
Dr. Mott has appeared in most
of the important university cen
ters throughout the world not
only in America and Europe hut
also in Japan, China, and India,
and wherever there are prominent
student gatherings.
Dr. Mott has been received very
heartily on several different oc
casions at Oxford University.
One campaign lasted nearly a
week and his lectures were better
attended than any series of lec
tures ever given at that Universi
ty. . V
Dr. Mott was also enthusiasti
cally received at Cambridge Uni
versity and his iectures here also
drew large crowds.
Conferences of the World's
Student Christian Fi deration
have been held in Holland,
France, Germany, Sweden, and
Turkey, and each one has always
had a special series of addresses
by Dr. Mott.
The students of Norway, Den
mark, and Finland have a high
r-yard for Dr. Mott, as evinced
by the fact tint his meetings in
Copenhagen had an attendance of
over a thousand students each
night. ;;
He is also held in high regard
in Russia.. He spent six days
in Moscow with its twenty thou
sand students and eleven days
in Petrograd, the largest Uni
versity center in the world, with
its forty thousand students.
With these facts in mind we
can begin to have an idea of the
tremendous amount of power and
experience which Dr. Motl has,
and can prepare to make this
campaign of Mott here the most
effective one which he has ever
conducted.
Juniors Meet
At a meeting of the Junior
class held several days before ex
aminations started, Tom Linn
Jr. of Salisbury was elected chief
commencement marshal. The
other six marshals chosen by the
class vere Frank Cooper, Hoke
Black, Bill Umstead, James
Harrison, Robert Vaughn, and
Roy Home wood.
The class, of 1916 also voted
to have a Junior Prom during
the Easter Week festivities, and
elected J. G. Cowan leader, with
W. B Cobb, and F, Q, Clarkson
as assistants.
Think it
Basketball Coach to Serve
Also in Baseball
It was gratifying to everybody
to learn , last Tuesday morning
that Chick Do ik had been elected
. - i
baseball coach. The Charlotte
Observer of Wednesday has the
following to say: j
"The athletic management of
the University, in session last
night, elected Charles G. Doak of
Guilford College as coach of the
1915 baseball squad. Mr. Doak
who is now employed as a bas-j
ketball coach," will continue his
services uninterrupted through
the baseball season, soon to open
in preparation for the schedule
announced a tew days ago.
"Charles Doak, popularly
knowu in amateur and profession
al baseball circles as Chick, is
backed by a record of many
years service - in the field of ath
letics which he will direct at
Carolina. Five years as a player
on the baseball and basketball
teams of Guilford College, three
years as coach of Guilford teams,
and more recently seven years as
player on the Greensboro and
Charlotte clubs of the Carolina
League this is his record in
athletics,
"His recognized ability in de
veloping winning teams at Guil
ford ; College is the best recom
mendation that could be produced
of his capacity to tackle the job
for which he has deen chosen.

SCHUMAN QUINTET CONCERT
Third Number cf Star Course Series
' Proves Superior to Preceding Ones
-The concert given by the
Schrtman Quintet in Chapel last
Saturday night was by far the
most enjoyable Star Course per;
formance given here this season
some members of the audience
considered it the best in years.
The program was excellent, and
even had it been poorly executed,
would have contrasted favorably
with the neo-witty average Star
Course performance. The pro
gram, classical though it was,
could not have been more pro
ficiently rendered. Every se
lection from "Santa Lucia" to
"Gems from Faust" was thoro
ughly enjoyable.
The Star Course management
would do well to secure more
numbers of such high class as
the Schuman Quintet.

Many students, no doubt, will go
over for the garni.

victory, but Wake Forest came
back in the last few minutes with
a rush,- tied the score, and then
scored the three points that won
the game According to. the
Raleigh papers, the game was
one of the closest and most inter
esting ever played in that city.

for Carolina.

! In perhaps the best basketball
game ever played on the Hill,
Carolina's fast team administered
a defeat to Wake Forest, Tues
day night, the score being 32 to
20. Wake Forest started the
game with a rush, scoring eleven
points before Carolina succeeded
in caging the ball. It was then
that Captain Long started the
Carolina machine rolling with a
beautiful goal from the center of
the floor. When the Carolina
team was once started, Wake
Forest could not stop them, eigh
teen points being the result of
their work during the first half.
The visitors scored 15 points in
this half. Carolina began the
second half with the spirit with
which she ended the first,-' and
simply ran away with the Bap
tists during the remainder of the
game.
Time after time Tandy would
dribble half the length of the
floor and then cage the ball,
while Captain Long would put it
