Favors Baseball and

WAKE FOREST, N. c.. October 81
A. mass meeting Of the students OF
Wake Forest College was held on tho
evening of September goth for the pur.
pose of finding out the will OF tbs
student body with regard to athletics
Mr.. Fl. H.. Mcmillan called the meeting
to order, and asked Mr. Wander Couch
to state the object IF the gathering,
He said that lie had made a number of
engagements for the ball team, which
1t would play next spring, and that the
chairman of the faculty athletic COM
mittee had suggested thatItthese en-
gagements be cancelled. He said that
this committee was not willing forathe
boys who played summer ball to play
on the college team, and that this
meant that Wake Forest would not
have any team at all this year unless
something was done and decided DELI
nitely.
There happened to be in the hall one
of the trustees Of the college. who is
at present taking a law course here
Mr. j. w. Bailey, formerly editor Of the
Baptist Recorder. He was called on
for speech, and amid great applause
he went to the front and spoke for ten
or fifteen minutes. He said that he
had ever been an enthusiastic support
err of athletics: that he wanted Wake
Forest to have a baseball team and also
a football team, for he knew of moth
ing that would develop q college like
athletics. AS an example. he men
toned Davidson College, and pointed
out the growth OF that school in the
last few years. great part of which
was effected by the winning ball teams
that the school put out. It's up to
Wake Forest to have a ball team, and
winning team he said. and there
was not hat in the hall that did moi
go spinning up to the ceiling or q
voice that BY its bowling failed tC
show the appreciation OF the speak
er's words. Mr.. Bailey further sale
terested in the matter, he saw no rea.
son why Wake Forest should remain i1
the Southern Athletic Association. HI
said that If this college played under
the rules of that association the only
other school that she could play witt
which adhered strictly to those rules
was Trinity: while. on the other hand
1t would have every other college II
the State to play outside OF the asso.
citation. "As far as summer ball play,
Ling is concerned" said he, .it is a.
honorable as any other occupations"

with great enthusiasm by the students
who agreed heartily with him on ever,
point.
