TE Y MC.sA. NO SECRETARY Again we have failed to get the ap propriation for our Secretary. It is hard to make the General Assembly see our need in this particular instance. The other appropriations have been most gratifying,. but they have left us to fight unaided the forces of evil; they have provided for our sorest phy sical needs, but have taken no thought for our spiritual life. It is up to us to help ourselves, now that we know that for at least one more year we shall have to (o without the Secretary. But we shall get him in the end if we persevere. Perhaps we have not done quite our best anyway. Let us at least remember this, that even if we had a Secretary and did no work ourselves, our Y. M. C. A. work would yet fail in spite of all lie could do. Bible Study Class. The most important feature of our work is the Bible Study Classes. There are three of these. Prof. Bradley has charge of the class studying the "Teachings of Christ and I-is Apos ties," and Prof. Gee of the class in the "Life of Christ." The third class in "Old Testament Characters" is led by various ones of its members. See NI. M. Rector if you wish to join this class. This Bible Study work had to be suspended during the weeks of our :3 mid-year examinations, but now that c- these are over all old members of these classes are urged to return to the work, and it is hoped that many new men may join them. These classes meet every Sunday morning at io o'clock in DeSaussure College. Last Sabbath and Next. Dr. Twitchell gave us last Sunday afternoon the third lecture of the se ries on "Science and Religion." His subject this time was "Tle Story of the Creation as Told by the Bible and by Science." It was most thoughtful. Not a mian can afford to miss one of these lectures. They come the third Sunday in each month. Rev. A. N. Brunson, of Main Street Methodist Church, will address us next Sunday at 3:15 P. M. All members who haye not paid their dues are urged to do so at once, as there are some debts due now.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) rell Jones pitchel good ball for Caro lina in 19o7. He had great speed then and has since developed all around. He is a good hitter. Desportes tossed for the Davidson scrubs in 1907. He has good control and knows the gamie. Harper has excellent control. He pitched two very close games for Seneca against Clemson last year. Herbert, Izar, Simpson and Sim kins are trying out for sack number one. Herbert played for Bingham -High School in 'o6 and 'o7. He handles his mit well and is a' hard worker. Izlar has held down first base for Orangeburg. He is a very heavy hitter. Simpson, although he never played first base before, is an old base ball man. Simkins has a good reputa tion in Edgefield, his home, as a fast first baseman. For the second sack, there are Gib son and Trippett. Gibson played scrub ball last year. He is a hard worker and a good base runner. His hitting is somewhat weak. Trippett held down second base last year. He is a pretty fielder and led the team last season, making only one error the whole sea son. He needs practice in hitting. McMillan and Carroll are out for shortstop. McMillan knows the game and handles himself well. His throw ing to first is superb. He is one of the best amateurs in middle South Caro lina. Carroll is a very fast man. He played third base for Wofford in 1906. lie thoroughly understands the game. For the third sack, there are Perrin and Gresham. Perrin led the team in batting last year and is expected to keep up his reputation this season. Gresham hails from the up-country and has an enviable record as an all round baseball man. He is an excel lent catcher and infielder. He knows the game from A to Z. Among the would-be fielders are Hamblin, of Furman, who has a fine wing; Klugh, who played good class ball, and Rembert, Carolina's old faith ful for the last two years. Rembert is a good hitter, but he might improve his base running. A few of the other men out for the field are: Hughes, Bradley,- Metz, Waring, Lipscomb, Hiers, and Bruce. HARVARD'S PRESIDENT CAROLINA'S GUEST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) part of the country, and to meet, wher ever possible, the men who have the cause of the South most at heart." Dr. Eliot left Cambridge on the eighth of Februiary, and returns April third, visiting in the meantime every Southern State from Kentucky and Tennessee to Virginia. He conmes to Columbia from .Charleston on the eighteenth and leaves the next morn ing for Spartanburg and Asheville, visiting no other places in this State. It is needless to say that the Hall of the House will be packed by students and the public generally to hear him. In aiddition to the presence of the distinguished educator, our Dr. S. C. Mitchell now delivering a series of lectures at Brown University, will be with us for a few days, and President David R4 Coker, of Hatsville, has issued a call for a meeting of the alumni of the University at the same time. The faculties of all the other institutions of higher learning in the State have also been invited to meet with us-on the 19th of March, in order to promote and strengthen the friendly relations between Carolina and her sis ter colleges. President Coker urges the attendance of each and every alumnus in order to meet Dr. Mitchell and to learn of the plans now maturing for the enlargement of the University in the future. Dr. Eliot will thus address hot only the students of the University and their friends, but, it is hoped, a large number of our alumni and a gathering of the leading educators of the State. It is for such meetings as this that Dr. Eliot's trip is made, and the University is co-operating with him in his endea vor to meet the leaders in educational lines in this State. There are several Harvard students in the city, among them Dr. George A. Walichope of our faculty, who are looking forward with much pleasure to the visit of Dr. Eliot, and doubtless his friends and admirers will be much more numerous after the 19th of next March.
