Good Game To Feature College Home-coming Day With the exception of Cuppola and Cooley, the Newberry Indians have recovered from the injuries received in the game with Rollins. Coach Bill Laval sent his men against the strong freshman squad in a long scrimmage this afternoon. The In dians will take it easy the next two days so that they will be in good condition for the game with Wofford. The Wofford Terriers boast of a heavy, powerful team that relies chiefly on power plays for their scor ing. Newberry has displayed a good running game this fall, but Laval’s warriors depend largely on rapid ball-handling, usually ending in for ward or lateral passes for their main scoring threat. Wofford and Newberry teams have been natural rivals for years. The game between these traditional ene mies who are usually pretty evenly matched is always full of color. This year will be no exception. Wofford must hurdle the Indians if they ex pect to win the Little Four champion ship. The Newberry Braves are un defeated on their home grounds and will fight like Old Nick to stay that way. And there it is! It should be a real battle. This is homecoming day for New berry. Many alumni and former students of the college will be on hand to assist in the festivities of which there will be many. The game will be on Newberry’s new field on Armistice day, Nev. 11, at 3 o’clock. Football! Pretty sponsors! Bands! “N” club dance! It will be a big time in the old town tonight! QUERY SUGGESTS METHOD TO MEET STATE’S DEFICIT Columbia, Nov. 7.—If the state deficit predicted for the next fiscal year by some official should de velop, chairman Walter G. Query of the tax commission has two sug gestions to help counteract it. The suggestions, made to the bud get commission which opened hear ings last week, are: 1. Retain all revenue from the li quor, beer and wine taxes, rather than allocating some to counties and municipalities. 2. Make an agressive effort to col lect some of the approximately $14,- 000,000 in delinquent property taxes. Each source, Query estimated, would turn approximately $1,000,000 more to the state.

The banks and stores all closed at 11 o’clock and the military company, the College, and the school children and Confederate veterans marched in parade down the streets, and bells sounded, and it looked like all the people had gathered on the streets and were happy, and yet there were some who were nov happy, and while they were glad the great conflict had ended there was a tinge of sadness in their faces. Some of them had lost loved ones over there and some had boys in the last geat battle and have had no word from them in a month or more. They did not feel the spirit of jubilation just like those who had no dear ones over there. But it is a great event, no greater in all history, because never before were there so many nations of earth engaged in a death dealing war such as has just come to a close.
