Ref eree, McKay. Umpire, Orr. The Freshmen displayed their great football ability last Tuesday afternoon by defeating the Sophomores io to o on Davis field. The Sophomores got the ball on the kick-off, but soon the first year men received the pigskin. The backs worked like demons and the ball was carried over for a touchdown after eleven minutes' play. The ball was kicked out to the Freshmen on the ten-yard line for a fair catch which was missed. Score, 5 to 0. With nine more minutes' play the Fresh eleven kept nearing their opponents' goal. They tried a drop kick, but failed. Before this half was up the backs forced the ball over for a touch down. The ball did not pass between the posts in the kick. This made the score 10 to o. In this entire half the ball was kept in the.Sophomores' ter ritory, and the gains of the first year men were long and steady. The for ward pass was beautifully executed in this half. On the second half the Sophomores spruced up and showed up in better form. At no time was the goal of the Freshmen in any danger. The ball was kept in the middle of the field most of the time, but even in this half the Freshmen had a little the best of it. The forward pass was also pulled off in this half. McMillan and Simpkins played great ball for the Fresh ; Simpkins' fast work caused him to make many long gains. Hc was kept busy all the game through. Metz and Sharpton also played good ball. For the Sophomores, Bradley, Wright and Monckton showed tip in good form. Line-ups were: Freshmen. Sophomores.

Some valuable material has shown up in the games, all of which will be a valuable aid to the Varsity of 1909. Some of the men who have come out in order to fight for their re spective classes, and who (lid not think that there was any gridiron abil ity in them, have been enlightened on the subject. Many of them regret that they did not try out for one of the teams during the season. CLEMSON COLLEGE VS. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA (Continued from Page One.) play again until things had quieted down. Carolina was victorious in this last game. In the past two years the colleges have been brought closer and closer together. The old feeling has been laid aside and the two student bodies are now on the best terms. The stu dents of the two institutions met last Fair week in the University chapel and the connections between the two colleges are now firmly fixed for the future. The joint meeting of the students in Columbia was one of much pleasure to the boys of the two colleges. Clem son and Carolina are now united and will meet hereafter in friendly rivalry on the athletic field. Clemson has the advantage of the University in having such a large stu dent body to pick their team from. The Tigers will not be lacking in foot ball material for a long time, if they get set on their feet square again. The influx of new students will always be sufficient to keep the team going. This year was a backslide for Clemson. The team was composed of new material, with little experience. But the same team with another year's training and with the aid of new material will be a corker. The student body of the University is small compared with that of Clem son. The debarring of football at the University made it necessary for the college to start out this year with raw material to make a team of warriors. The eleven played good ball, taking into consideration the teams that were played, and the situation when the season opened up. Next year's team will be a good one. Most of the pres ent team will return and other good material will be coming in. The Uni versity boys are glad to know that the game will be played. Jokes Soph. Yarborough (on Thanksgiv ing Day)-"Say, Fresh, where did you set in the theatre, hu ?" Fresh Odom (from the Citadel) "I set (down there in the archestry." * * * "Fresh" Simpson wants to know why they put ice in the bathing water at the gymnasium on cold (lays. * * * "Big" Russell of the Freshman class wishes to answer four popular questions for the benefit of the inquis itive studlent body, the faculty, the co eds, andl all concerned. They are: Six feet, eleven inches, No. 12's, too awkward, and Anderson Co. You may infer wvhat the questions are ; if not, The Sea-Men Club Last week a new organization was put on foot at the University, and points to be one of the most success ful and livest ever launched at the in stitution. The organization is somewhat lim ited in its -membership, for the re quirement. to become a member re quires a 'special test. Only those who made the initial "C" arc eligible to join. Either a football or baseball "C" is sufficient. The stigma of the club is the highest stand for athletics at the University. Every year the players of football and baseball, if they have shown up in the proper form, are awarded the "C" by the advisory board, with the recommendation of the coach. Anyone who has the ability to distinguish himself by making the standard in athletics of the college, should deserve the honor of belonging to a club of which no one else is eligi ble unless they prove it to the public. The organization is an organization not composed of men who pretend to be what they are not, but of those who stand for what they are, and who have displayed it. The Club's intentions are: 1st. To bring the athletes of the College in closer contact. This will be done by iVeeting together and dis cussing the athletic situation at the institution, and also in general. 2nd. To influence better athletics at the college by getting .those who participate to any extent in the games to come out and try for the teams. The club itself will make the players work harder for positions on the teams, for the "C" puts them off in an organization which only one condition can make them a member. 3rd. To help athletics after they leave the institution by influencing other men to come to the institution. This in the end means much to any college. Nothing so advertises a col lege than athletics. The organization is known as tile Sea-men Club and will be permanent. It will never be lacking in members of the kind that are desired as long as the college exists. Every year adds new material to its ranks. The Club will have a special page devoted to its cause in the Annual. The members are: Football-I-I a m mo nd, C a er, Crouch, Wynne, Belser, Perrin, Mob ley, Dargan, Cooper, Gonzales. Baseball--Smith, Simpson, Rem bert, Trippett, Perrin, Belser. Officers are: President, Dargan; Vice-President, L. W. Smith; Secre tary and Treasurer, I. F. Belser. If you have any wisdom, If you have any wvit, Right down you must sit And write a little bit For the young game chick. Just sign your nlame "Dick" And the Sophs won't kick If you don't wvrite as good As a dignified Senior could. Just adroitly use your minds And come uip with your lines. Then the cock will crow, For its pages will o'erflow With wisdom, wit and lore. F. R.H. Mr. Clyde McManus spent Thanks giving on the campus with friends. Juniors' Sponsors The most interesting thing about the Junior-Senior game was the part played by the sponsors of the third class. After much deliberation on the mat ter, the class decided on Misses Finley and Spiegner. The class did well to select two such beautiful young la (lies, and they carried out the sponsor's job to perfection. The sponsors, with the 1910 colors flying high, took the left side of the field. The cheers of the ladies were an inspiration to the whole team and especially to the backs when they made a line dash and heard the melodious voices of the Misses Finley and Spiegner. Withut exag geration it would be safe to say that the sponsors played a very impor tant part in the Juniors' victory. It would be well for all the classes to se lect sponsors of the Spiegner-Finley kind. Minstrel Mr. R. M. Cooper is now putting on foot a minstrel, the funds of which wvill be for the Athletic Association. The big college performance will come off before the holidays, and is going to be up-to-date. There is plenty of minstrel talent on the cam pus, and a good minstrel can be got ten up if the boys will unite on the cause. If you can't perform a stunt, induce others to do so and help a good movement along. Make it your busi ness to see Mr. Cooper. He will give you something to do. Two years ago a minstrel was got ten up and came off with ' big success in the chapel. The proceeds of this minstrel also went for a good cause. The football season has just passed and baseball will soon approach. The University wants to have a good ball team and the boys should get together and start up the minstrel. "Varsity C." The University advisory board at a meeting last week awarded "C's" to the following men: Belser, fullback; Crouch, guard; Wynne, tackle; Carter, tackle; Perrin, right halfback; Dar gan, end; Hammond, quarter; Mob ley, center; Cooper, manager. The "C's" represent the height of athletic achievement at the University and it is a big feather in any man's hat to be honored with one. They are awarded by the board on recommen dation from the coach. The full eleven were not given this year. Trhere were several players wvho played in the required number of gambs, but their ability did not warrant the coach to recommend them. Junior Buie, raffling off a sweater: "Now, gentlemen, we are offering the greatest bargain of the age. The beau ty about it is that you get three chances in every one that you buy. Undoubt edly the finest offer ever presented. You can't fail to miss. Come on now andl take a chance.". "Fresh" -: "I swear, Buie, I wvould take a chance, but I'm broke as h--ll. Oh, come in, men, and try your luck." Coach Benet has discovered that the "Wynne" lAlows every time the Varsity plays frutbhl11
