A GREAT RECORD.

The University baseball club has
played ten match games this season,
winning nine. They scored 122 runs,
against II by their opponents. They
have beaten the best college teams
from the North and the South. Every
member of the team is a bona fide stu
dent, and learned to play ball at the
University. The finest games played
were with Yale and Lehigh, the scores
being z to and to 4. for the Var
sity. Only two days were missed from
college during the entire season. FL
nancially the season has been great
success. Every item of expense, imclud-
ing suits for players, balls, bats, trav-
cling and hotel bills, has been paid By
the gate receipts, and there is a surplus
over. Not single case of rowdyism or
drunkenness by the Varsity men has
occurred at any of the ten games. The
record is one never equalled by South
ern team, and by few, If any, Northern
teams. The whole State should be
proud of it. 1t shows that athletics can
be managed SO as to be free from Vi
cious elements. 1t proves, also, that
our strong, healthy, sturdy, country
boys in North Carolina can train them
elves TO greater skill and endurance
than boys from the Northern cities.
The progress of the University in
scholarship is most marked and salu-
tary. It's progress in athletics shows
that it's power is great in all directions.
