wood Fall Tennis Tournament in
1907, the championship cups in both
singles and doubles were won by mem
bers of the Association, while our for
mer Secretary, Mr. Reed Smith, of
this city, was one of the doubles team
that carried off the championship of
the Carolinas at Greenville last June.
The three courts under the control
of the Association have been recently
placed in excellent order and on these
beautiful October afternoons they may
he seen well filled with eager follow
ers of the sport, attempting some new
wrinkle in serves or perfecting the
"Lawford," that terror to unsuspect
ing opponents.
A tournament to decide the inter
collegiate championship of South Car
olina will be held on the courts of
Furman University in the next few
weeks, and when the referee calls
"Play" Carolina will be well repre
sented in both singles and doubles.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES
M. A. MILLER.
Among the many branches of col
lege life, the Y. M. C. A. is one of the
most important. Those who come- to
college in order to develop themselves
into stronger and more perfect men
cannot afford to neglect those things
that greatly enrich college life. That
much strenlgth intellectually and spir
itually is gained by connecting them
selves with a literary society and also
with the Y. M. C. A. cannot be denied.
This being true, then, why not come
along and join the Y. M. C. A.?
The Y. M. C. A. is here for active
work. It is here that we have the
opportunity of meeting together for
real, pure worship. All denomina
tional creeds are ignored and the fel
lows help to arouse in each other those
qualities that count for much in Chris
tian manhood.
The courses in Bible study are being
organized. It is needless to try to esti
mate the value and good received from
this study. There is no book from
which so much of real knowledge, re
gardless of the religious aspect, can
be derived as from a study of the
Bible.
Prof. Gee told the Association last
Sunday afternoon of his active work
for four years at Clemson in the Y. M.
C. A. His remarks were very instruc
tive and helpful. It helps to cheer us
on to know that we have a professor
who is ready and willing to give his
help in every way possible to this
catuse. Prof. Gee gave an excellent
plan that he says was successful at
Clemson, that would work well here
if used. Every member try to get
every other student interested in the
Y. M. C. A., and bring him out to the
services. Show your interest in the
work and others will be sure to fol
low.
Let us not impede the progress of
the University by staying away from
the Y. M. C. A., but come out and do
your duty. Let us go to work and
make this the most flourishing branch
of college life. Show to the Legisla
ture your earnestness in wanting a
student secretary. This will surely be
an urgent and forceful plea and power
towards the desired end.
LOCALS
On the afternoon of October the
ninth, the chapel doors were flung
wide for the purpose of organizing a
Freshman Class from the rawest and
freshest material that the organizers
have had to contend with for many a
year.
Every seat in the chapel was occu
pied, and mid the thrilling discord of
brassy freshman, tin buckets and
brickbats, the faint voice of Fresh
Green (chaplain-elect) could occa
sionally be heard to say something like
this, had his words not been inter
rupted, "Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil, in the name
of the pledge-Amen."
At length one man was found who
agreed to preside over such a body
Pres. A. C. Moore. After appointing
Fresh Green (J. M.) Secretary, nom
inations were in order for the freshest
man. In the political contest which
followed, there were no less than
thirty candidates. After warm dis
cussion, the five freshest of this num
ber were voted on and it resulted in a
survival of the freshest.
President-"Fresh" McIntyre.
Vice-President-"Fresh". Haynes
worth.
Secretary and Treasurer-"Fresh"
Sligh.
Last Monday morning Mr. Geo. H.
Atkinson, an alumnus of Carolina, de
livered an interesting and instructive
talk to the student body. His sub
ject was "Why a Man Fails in Life."
LAWN PARTY AT UNIVERSITY.
From The State.
Just at this season, with the campus
at the University in the height of its
beauty, the green carpet underfoot,
green and fresh, and the fine old elms
colored with the first tints of autumn,
a more ideal setting could scarcely be
imagined for a lawn party such as the
one Prof. and Mrs. Andrew C. Moore
gave for the student body on last
Thursday afternoon. Fully 300 young
people were there-the college boys,
the girls of the two colleges, and the
"town girls," and mingling with them
during the afternoon were the mem
bers of the faculty and their charming
wives, the ladies assisting Mrs. Moore
in her duties as hostess to her great
assembly of guests. Numbers of
pretty young girls flitted about, serv
ing ices, cakes and bonbons and be
stowing on each guest a tiny bunch of
the garnet and black, colors of the
University.
Mr. I-tenry T. Bouchier, 'o8, of
Marlboro, now of Wofford College,
was on the campus several days last
week.
The many friends of Mr. Douglas
McKay, 'o6, are delighted to see him
on the campus once more.
Fresh Clark-"Belser, are you in
my section of I Math?"
Junior Belser-"I swing - boy."
At the opening german on last
Tuesday evening Junior Finley was
all rigged out in a new Tuxedo-in
typical bellboy fashion-and seemed
surprised when Prof. Keith said:
"Say, waiter, bring me a glass of
water, please."
