WoFFonD COLLEGE, SPARTANBURG,
March DETERMINATIONS are over! What
q sigh of relief is heard on every side.
For the last ten days battles have been
waeed. some of which were won, others
lost. The great mental strain IS over ana
now the reaction has set IN.
The desire for merriment and Tor 1un
has seized upon every one. What could
he more natural at this season OF the year
than for base bail to be chosen as the
means for recreating ourselves? Nothing
we are sure. And now with vim and
determination the men who are desirous
for the honor of representing #otford
on the diamond are working. From up
wards of thirty candidates the number
has dwindled down to fifteen. those
who survive will be the flttest, and those
who will be the fittest will be worthy an
tagonists for any opponents who Will con
test for honors on the diamond this
season. The Varsity players have been
virtually decided upon, it only remains
for the "subs" to be chosen. In a little
less than two weeks our tlfst game WILL
be plaved when Kings Mountain viii!
meet her "Waterloo." This game has
been taken on as practice game and OF
course it will be pretty much of SNAP"
For the past few evenings the members
of the "rooting" club have met on the
college steps, preparing the songs and
wells which are to encourage the old gold
and black on to victory and some aet1
ed and heart broken team from tl

known here) gives the signal for a yell
there is something doing;' from every
direction come the worshippers OF Mof-

the melody of some Wofford song which
follows is enough to thrill the heart OF
anyonc, even that one who may be devoid
of enthusiasm.

humOr.
