tutions represented, and their friends. The
footgall games have always proved a
drawing card to the fair, and this year
the games scheduled will be no exception
to this rule.
Davidson College thus takes on both
Carolina and Clemson-an unusual under
taking in football. The squad from the
North Carolina institution is very strong
this year, several of the old men having
returned to the College. When Davidson
met Virginia on October 10th the score
was 12 to 0 in favor of Virginia. This
same Virginia team stood off Sewanee in
a battle to the flnish-0 to 0. The North
Carolina-Davidson game ended 0 to 0,
neither team being able to score.
The last lineup that Davidson used (in
the North Carolina game) was as follows:
Wilkinson, right end; Dunn, right
tackle; Daniel, right guard; Edgerton,
centre; Whiteley, left guard; Moore, left
tackle; Kluttz, left end; Elliott, quarter

known Quantity.
back; Denny, right Jialfback; Clark, full
back; Eames, left /alfback.
This is about t4d lineup that will be sent
to meet Clemsorf next Wednesday at the
fair grounds.
The Clemson eleven has met two big
teams this year, and has been defeated by
both. The Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
which always puts out a strong eleven,
beat Clemson by a score of 6 to 0. Van
derbilt last Saturday put the spikes into
the Tigers by a score of 41 to 0. In spite
of these two scores Clemson has a good
team.
We endeavored to get sketches of the
Davidson team, but were unable to obtain
them.
