at a big disadvantage, playing with a team whose tactics he was not familiar with, but with a little more practice he will be a mainstay for the 'Varsity of 'o8. Perrin, at right half, is a comer. He hits the line hard and for good gains. At left half was Cooper, and with a little more coaching will add strength to the team. IzIar and Dar gan, as ends, played fast and snappy ball. This is really the former's first year in football, and his chances for 'Varsity are very good. Tackles Brown and- Carter, two new men, showed up well in Saturday's game. Parrott and Crouch, guards, and Gonzales at cen ter, played their usual game. Belser, Jones, Graydon and Mnrdaugh played in the last half. Coach Benet will put the team through hard and steady training un C- til the season closes. The next game will be played Sat CZ urday with Charleston College in this city, and the Carolina 'Varsity will put up an article of snappy football CS against the boys from the place im C4 mortalized by our Professor of His 15 tory.

The most promising game of the schedule will be played with Davidson College, Fair week. The scrubs are putting up a good fight against the 'Varbity in the after noon scrimmages. And Coach Benet is well satisfied with their work. Jones, Sheppard, Marion, McNair, Beverley, Herbert and Desportes are showing up fine and will give some of the 'Varsity players a good race for their positions. The other scrubs are: Sligh, Blake, Cain, Gresham, Dowling, Hamer, Ma rion, Simpson, McGowan, Mobley and last, but not least, "Sport Hicks," of Fairfield. All the students are deeply interested in the outcome of the team and will carry the following and other yells sky high Saturday afterioon: Siss-ss-ss ! Boom-oom-oom I Yee-ee-ee ! Car-o-li-na ! GOLF Well, our old friend McCarthy is back in harness again, and he is going to give the young athletes something to do this year, from the way lie has been talking. Mac arrived on the campus Saturday morning and was out on the field to see the football game. Here lie shook hands with the students and they gave him a hearty welcome. The instructor visited many places of interest in the athletic line, and has been telling the boys all about his experiences and good old times spent during the vacation. It was a great source of pleasure to the golfers when "Mac" told them that lie intended to lay the golf course out so the buildings on the green would not interfere with it. It was the belief of many that the placing of the two buildings on the green wvould put a quietus on golf playing. But the phys ical director is going to lay out the course in a few days and lie says that sport on Gibbes' Green will be carried on as usual. The old students well remember how the visitors at the Colonia, people out of town, and the college professors and boys took an interest in golf. Prizes were offered by the Colonia, and the links were filled with players every afternoon. Mr. McCarthy is (loing a great thing to utilize the gr6und, and also to keep the game going at Carolina. The Golf Club is composed of the players from the Colonia, town and college and is supported by the mci bers. It is also not included in the Athletic Association. There is no out doors game to take the place of golf: for it is played the whole year round, and is not as stringent on the muscles as football, baseball and tennis. The game is especially good for ladies and men. Mr. Mac has taught a lot of ladies and men how to play, and last year there were some good golfers among the members of the club. The interest in golf should be as great, if not greater, this season than last. The college boys have many games to pick their choice from, and it is up to them to take part in some of the sports going on at the University this year. If you can't make good in one game try the round until you find one you can put up a good fight in anyway. GYMNASIUM With the coming of Mr. McCarthy gymnasium work will start up. Classes composed of Sophs. and Fresh. will be organized and the instructor will begin to train them twice a week in out and in-door exercises. Mr. Mac takes the exercise along with the boys, which adds interest and pleasure to the work. The exercise will be carried along all lines, with the aim of developing the men to a high point. Classes in boxing, wrestling, cross country running, swimming, etc., will be organized. One disadvantage for the boys who love to swim is that they have to run down to the canal to take a dip and then run back, and by' the time they get back they are worse off than when they started. Whereas, if the boys would get together and work for a swimming tank, it would be a pleasure, and it would influence mlany of the boys to be more sanitary. THE FRUITS OF LOVE Also The Vegetables "Ah, dearest," he sighed, "I love you. You are the apple of my eye." Her chestnut hair, her cherrY lips, her orange-blossom cheeks only tended to egg him on. "My heart, darling, beets only for you. Lettuce elope." "No," she said, "that would squash everything. We cantaloupe until we have cabbaged some of papa's greens." Then he realized that this girl was sure enough a peach. A. R. RAWLS. Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Wauchope and little Miss Virginia have returned from a trip abroad.
