With the Thanksgiving game in
Charleston closed one of the most
"successful" football seasons in
Carolina's history, not so much be
cause of her good team or wonder
ful success, but more on account of
the restoration by the Trustees of
the -much-loved game.
After the season of 1905 the
Trustees abolished football, and
consequently the fall months of 1906
were greatly lacking in "college
spirit," and everything seemed list
less. But, to the great enjoyment
of the entire student-body, the game
was reinstated during fair week of
1907.
Carolina at once got down to
hard practice and put out a remark
able team, notwithstanding the fact
that she was greatly handicapped
for experienced - men, there being
only one old 'varsity man in college
and a few men of the 1905 "scrub
team."
"Buck" Perrin was selected to
guide us, and under his leadership
a strong team was put against the

16th, after scarcely two weeks of
practice. This team, nevertheless,
showed the ever-predominating
"Carolina spirit," and by a hard,
fast game we were able to win by a
score of 14 to 4. Much praise in
this game is due Captain Perrin,
Sligh, Cartwright and Gibbes.
After this game the team prac
ticed even harder than before, prof
iting by the weaknesses shown in
the first game, and by November
21st was again ready to vanquish
the strong Georgia 'aggregatio.
This team, from the Medical Uni
versity of Georgia, was remarkably
strong, being composed of mny old
Southern stars. Captain 'Verrin
was out of the game on accotint of
injuries received in the Charleston
game, but his place was admirably
filled by Captain Gibbes. The good
playing of Gibbes, Sligh, Gonzales
and Cartwright figured materil4ly
in the victory.
The Thanksgiving game in
Charleston against the Citadel ended
the 'season. It was in this game
that Captain Gibbes accomplished
the great feat of making three beau
tiful drop-kicks from the field, one

Dr. Joynes is one of our old
friends and advisors, and certainly
we will be greatly in need of a guide
without him. It is hard to think of
one's leaving who has for so long
been the supporter and coworker
of every movement for the advance
ment of the University. Our be
loved professor was one whose
heart was in close touch with the
work of the University, and indeed
he has accomplished much for its
good.
