arranged as follows:

The following dates are open, four of
which Manager Wilson wishes to arrange
games for: April 4 to 9 inclusive; April
21 to %, inclusive; May 2, 6, 13.
The prospects for good team grow
brighter as every afternoon of practice
goes by. Captain Burnett is very much
encouraged over the way in which the
new material is developing and because
of the steadiness which characterizes the
playing of last years players. Hard
conscientious work is telling and i'm.
provements in players old and new, are
quite noticeable. About q week from
now the picked teams will be playing
practice games and interest will increase
even more than it has in the past few
weeks.
A letter has been received from Connie
Mack, of the Philadelphia Americans
stating that he and his team will arrive
here on March 1s and begin practice the
next day. Mr.. Mack has been trying to
arrange games with some ofthe Southern
colleges to be played while down in this
section; he has, however, not been able
to do so thus far. The Woford team will
play number of games with the leaguers
and much benefit is expected to be de-
rived therefrom.
1t is very probable that Captain Bur-
nett will go from short stop, his old posi-
ton, to the second bag.
Sophomore Dukes, of Orangeburg, is
playing fast ball at short stop. His left
hand throws remind one of Woford's
old second baseman, Green.
Gambler and Taylor are putting in
hard work in order to wear the catchers
mask.
There is great deal of speculation as
to who will win out in the fight for first;
Richardson, Robbins and QUITS are hav-
ing it hot.
Mcintyre, Jr., Prince and All are "at it"
in earnest for the third base.
The out field will probably be the same
as last year, Cantey in right, Glaze in
center, Brabham in left.
The gymnasium team will give an ex-
hibition about April 1, for the benefit of
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Y. NJ. G. A. convention was well
attended by the students. On Wednesday
and Thursday nights after the conven-
ton, Mr.. W. D. Weatherford, of New
York, made splendid addresses to the
students in the college Y. N. c. A. hall.
The sophomores have elected Mr..
Hugher Richardson, captain Of their class
baseball team and MI. Manly Dukes man
ager. These are the first of the class
team elections, the others will probably
take place soon.
The anniversary exercises will be held
in the college auditorium next Friday
evening. Mr.. Chalmers Daniels will speak
for the Calhouns, and Mr.. W. c. Herbert
from the Prestons.
The dome Of the Cleveland science hal
has been painted, the furnace and radia
tors installed, the bricks nearly all cnaih'
ed and painting the inside commenced
things are beginning to look finished"
The Annual will bear the name "Auro'
ra" The name was selected by the board
of editors.
MIR. Edwin Watson visited his brother
Mr.. Cheshire Watson, of the freshman
