The new management of the
Km and Black wishes to make
its how tn the public and ask its
support and co-operation so that
the paper may he continued on
its successful career.
The retiring management have
horn more than ordinarily for
tunate in their conduct of the
paper, and its renders arc to lie
congratulated on the uniformly
good issues that have been sent
out weekly for their benefit.
The finances of the Hep anp
Black have been kept in a
splendid condition; no debts
are owed and cash is in hand.
It is to he noted in ibis connec
tion, however, that nearly half
of thp subscribers of the Rep
anp Black arc out of town.
This is a reflection on our col
lege spirit, for barely half the
number of men in the Univer-
sitp subscribe to this their col
lege organ.
The Rkp ani> Black is par
ticularly the organ of the Ath
letic Association of the I’niver-
sity, lint athletics do not consti
tute its sole province; it is in
terested in every phase of college
life, and everything that per
tains in any way to the affairs
of the students, comes within
its sphere of action.
It is necessary for the conduct
of any enterprise that some one
bo placed in charge, hut in re
spect to the Rkd ani» Black,
this is not to lie construed as
meaning that the management
of this paper have a monopoly
on its contents. We now and
here refute such a belief by sav
ing that we shall welcome any
suitable item of news, poem, or
short article that any student
see* fit to present This is a duty
from the students as well as
kindness to the management.
It is tlte purpose of the corps
of editors, in this centennial
year of the University, to make
the Rki> am* Ri.ack fully wor
thy of our beloved institution.
To this end we earnestly request
the sympathetic support and
kindly aid of the student body.
College Spirit.
In last week's issue of the
Rkp anp Bt ack appeared a
short notice of the gift of Mr.
Phinizy Calhoun, '00, to the
thank him for this evidence of
his love for the University and
interest in'her athletics.
The Rkp anp Black desires
further to call the attention of
the college athletes, both real
and embryonic, to the fact that
this gift of Mr. Calhoun’s is for
their benefit, and to spur them
on to greater endeavor in their
training for Field Day. It will
be a distinction to any man to
win this cup and every athlete
should try for it.
It is proper in this connection
also to mention the fact that
Mr. Harry Hodgson, '93, last
week made an unsolicited dona
tion of five dollars to the Ath
letic Association.
These evidences of interest in
our athletics by our alumni
should ho a source of gratifica
tion to the* students. It shows
a college spirit that does not
cease with actual connection
with tin* University. When
our alumni are so loyal, we, the
students, should be enthusias
tic. It is the nature of the col-
legi* spirit that determines the
success or failure of the college
team. Now that our baseball
team is about to begin its sea
son of games, let us rally to its
support and show the captain
and the players that every man
in college is at their back.

term we designate the
By thi
one-horee circus or street fair
that was in town last week, pa
rading under tlte name of Car
nival. There was nothing amus
ing, instructive, or elevating
connected with the show, and
many of its people were fakirs
in the true sense of the word.
Tin* City Council deserves no
credit for allowing such a show
to come here. We understand,
too, that these street fair people
were rnlieved of all city taxes
during their slay. The city i-
just that much poorer thereby.
Not only this, but the good pav
ing of the city was injured by
having iron pegs driven into it ;
the trade of tin* business men
was not bettered ; and tlte pub
lic, especially Indies, was dis
commoded generally by the
noise and the class of people
that filled the streets.
But it is with the effect of this
nuisance upon college men that
we have particularly to deal.
Its influence upon them was not
only demoralising but in fact
imnioralizing. The petty gam
bling devices, the questionable
performances, and the more
questionable performers could
never have a good iutl ucnee up-
Baseball.
It is unfortunate that the
weather during the past week
has been such that little work
could be done. This is espe
cially to he regretted on account
of the near approach of the Cor
nell game. The strength of
this year’s team, as the editor
sees it, will lie in its fielding
ability, and the first essential to
good fielding is abundance of
practice. This has not been
had. The men do not get two
hours practice per day; a team
cannot be developed on this
small amount of work. More
practice must he had and harder
work must be done. This is es
pecially true since the team is
voting and since most of the
players are inexperienced.
It is a hardship that tlte two
points most necessary to be
tilled by experienced men are
to he held by men now in those
positions. Capt. Beaver is
making a good catcher, hut
there are thousands of tricks in
tin* game known only to nn old
hand; and everybody appre
ciates the steadying effect of an
old catcher on the team. The
other point filled by new men,
that of pitcher, requires even
more experience possibly than
that of catcher, a new pitcher is
so apt to lose his head, and
while Gordon. Hulsey, and Kul
iev are all doing good work,
still there are many things in
regard to their positions that
they have yet to learn. Ap
preciating the fact, therefore,
that these positions of catcher
and pitcher tire sure to he held
hv men new to those places, it
is very much in order that these
men do more work
As said above, the fielding of
tin* team is good, hut both bat
ting and base running must he
improved. Constant practice
on these two lines should he had
before the Cornell game next
Thursday.
