New Years Resolutions

Last week we all made our New
Years resolutions. Some made many
and some made few. How many OF
us have kept to the letter, up to this
day, every resolution we made last
week? Yet New Years resolutions are
good things in general. for. II there
was no time In particular when peo-
pie make good resolutions, few would
be made and few OF these would be
kept.
Our New Years resolutions are usu-
ally TO break off bad habits we have
formed and 10 begin TO form good
habits TO take their places. When we
farmers made our resolutions how
many of us resolved to break away
from bad practices we have been fol-
lowing on the farm? How many II
us went over our work of last year
and got together all the mistakes we
made. studied over the causes Of our
making those mistakes, the losses that
of avoiding them In the future?
During these short days and long
nights we have abundance Of time
to think these things over, name them
TO our neighbors and get their ideas
about them, and plenty Of time, too,
TO read these articles in The Citizen
which we try to make timely and as
varied as possible 80 as to have some

Catholic University Appears to
Have Every Advantage Be-
.. fore Game With Trinity.

Catholic University's basketball team
should meet with little difficulty in win
ming its game with Trinity tonight in
the National Guard gymnasium. The
North Carolina collegians have played
three straight games on the present
trip without victory and are meeting
what Is looked upon as their strongest
opponent in the final game.
Every effort will be made by the
Brooklanders to roll up larger score
than that Of Georgetown last night in
the match with Trinity. This should
not prove a hard task. because the
Catholic quint has bettered the Hill
toppers' scores in every instance when
these teams met a visiting five in the
same week.
Trinity is at every possible -disadvan-
tage. The team is naturally tired from
the strenuous games on this trip,
whereas Catholic University has en-
joyed a week of rest. The two gymna-
Sums In which they play their WASH
trgton games are other factors which
are against the Durham boys. Playing
on the spacious Arcade floor one night
and the small armory gym the next is
sure to prove a handicap to the visi-
tors.
Trinity will line up as 1t did against
Georgetown with White and Siler as

PRINCETON. Feb. S.-on account CT
the severe losses to the Princeton
championship nine last season, the
baseball prospects are not particularly
bright at Princeton this year. The
best battery which the Tigers had IN
years has been lost-"King" Lear,
pitcher and former Captain Sterrett,
catcher.
Sam White. of football fame, also
will be missed q great deal. But In
spite OF these losses Coach Bill Clarke
hopes to develop another good nine.
In order to get an early, start sew
eral pitchers and catchers have been
working out in the cage since Christ
mas. Four pitchers-Simons, Barnes,
Turtle, and Willlams-were selected
by Clarke to start this early season
work. None of these men has ever
done any pitching at Princeton before.
but all have shown steady improve
ment.
other pitchers. who it is expected
will report later, are Wood and Rog-
crs. each of whom has had some var
sity experience, and Campbell and
Copeland, last years freshman twirl-
ers. A good pitching stan should be
developed from this combination.
The catchers who have been prac-
ticing I'm the cage are Carter. Wall
Rheem, and Boyer. Bard and SAL
mon Of last years freshman nine. also
will report when general call is
issued.
carter seems to have the call for
the catching position, although he has
had no varsity experience. For first
base Rhoads, who held down the initial
sack last year. will be back, and Cap
tain Worthington will take care of
third. Pendleton and Laird con both be
counted on to fill their positions in the
outfield again this year
New men for infield positions who
gave promise last year are Gill and
Bailey. of the 1912 freshman nine, and
Ted Read. who played an outfield po-
sition on the varsity team the first OF
last season. Hanks. Yelser. Moore, and
Berger will fight 1t out for an outfield
position.
on the whole. the Tigers seem TO
be weakest in the battery positions.
The infield and outfield are well taken
care Of. and II looks. too, as II the
Tigers will have hard hitting team.
Captain Worthington probably will
issue a general call for candidates with
in the next two weeks.
