Fleld.--Rooting a Feature.
MONDAY'S GAME.
The baseball champions of the two
Carolinas, Davidson and the Univer
sity of South Carolina, met for the
first time in two years.
The score was 3 to 2 in Davidson's
favor. The game was the fastest ex
hibition of college baseball that has
been seen in Columbia lately. The
two teams were evenly matched and it
was a toss up to pick the winner from
the beginning to the end of the game.
Smith, Carolina's star pitcher, was
in great form. He did admirable work
in the box. Bailey, Davidson's pitch
er, had a nasty rise ball, which he used
successfully throughout the game.
Davidson's outfield is very fast, but
the infield is rather weak. Carolina
has her weak spots in both the infield
and outfield. Considering the fact
that the season is hardly begun, the
two teams are in good shape and both
promise to make their rivals sit up
and take notice.
The box score tells the entire story:
DAVIDSON.

CAROLINA VICTORIOUS
IN TENNIS MEET
White and Waring Capture Cups In
Singles and Doubles.
TOURNAMENT DECIDED SUCCESS
Rivalry Among the Colleges Was Intense
and Each Game Was Fought
to Finish.
The third annual meet of the South
Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Asso
ciation closed here last Friday after
noon, Carolina winning the champion
ship cups in both doubles and singles.
The University entered the tournament.
seriously handicapped by the loss of
her most experienced tennis player,
S. B. Rich, who had won first place on
the team. But G. W. Waring, other
wise known as "Cram" or "Fresh,"
was substituted, and showed the visi
tors how high a tall man could reach
when he tried.
There were six colleges represented
in the meet, Erskine by Grier and
Watson in doubles, and Grier in
singles ; Clinton by Fulton and Cun
ningham in doubles, and Fulton in
singles; Newberry by Schaeffer and
Hauck in doubles, and Schacffer in
singles; Charleston by Wagener and
Lowman in doubles, and Wagener in
singles; Furman by Rice and Poteat in
doubles, and Rice in singles; Carolina
by White and Waring in doubles, and
White in singles.
The meet began Wednesday after
noon, the first match scheduled being
Furman and Carolina, singles. Caro
lina won easily in straight sets. This
was followed by Charleston and New
berry, singles. These two players were
closely matched, and the play was hard
all the way through. WNagener won
the first set and secured a good lead
on the third, but Schaeffer proved the
steadier man, and finally won the best
two out of three. The third and last
match of the afternoon was Furman
and Carolina, doubles. The University
again won'vith ease.
Play was resumed next morning at
10 o'clock, R. C. Grier, last year's
champion, against Fulton, the clever
little player from Clinton. This was
the prettiest match of the entire series.
Both men used the same style of ten
nis, staying in the back of the court
and using long drives, rarely lobbing
and never going to the net. But Grier.
was wild and showed lack of form,
while Fulton wvas accurate and sure,
both on forehand and backhand( strokes
and the result was never in dloubt, the
latter winning in straight sets. In the
two other matches of the morning,
Newberry defeated Charleston in
doubles, and Erskine regained her lost
laurels by taking two sets from Clin
ton in doubles.
Thursday afternoon the sem i-finals
were completed. White defeated

COMMITTEE TO INSPECT
AMERICAN UNIVERSI lIES
Delegation from Faculty To Visit the
North and West.
TO BUILD HALL OF SCIENCE
Pres. A. C. Moore, Dr. W. B. Birney and Mr.
C. C. Wilson Will"Study Development
of Greater Universities.
Acting President A. C. Moore and
Mr. C. C. Wilson, the University's
architect, left last Wednesday night
for a two weeks' trip to the great uni
versities of the North and West.
President Moore and Mr. Wilson
will'go first to the University of Vir
ginia at Charlottesville and from there
to Johns Hopkins University at Balti
more. Here they will be joined by
Dr. W. B. Burney, who will be one of
the party for the rest of the trip. A
visit will be made to Columbia Uni
versity in New York city. Then the
party will go to Cornell and from Cor
nell either to New England to visit
Yale and Harvard or to the West to
see the University of Chicago and
University of Wisconsin.
The object of the trip will be to
study plans for developing the Uni
versity. Especial attention will be paid
to the departments of natural science
in the greater universities, with refer
ence to a mode of construction and
laboratory apparatus and equipment.
The knowledge thus gained will be put
to use in constructing Carolina's new
$40,ooo Hlail of Science, which will
he built next summer.
The Farnum Library
The set of books known as the Far
num collection has arrived at the
library and will be putt up at an early
(late. These books are the result of a
gift made to the library by Prof.
Henry \V. Farnum of Yale, who visi
ted this State in 195 at the time of
the Ogden Educational Conference.
When returniig home from here he
was injured in Greenville and forced
to stay here for a time. The kind
treatment and attention lie received
from the people made such an impres
sion upon him that he resolved to show
his appreciation by making a gift to the
State University, and accordingly
gave $500 to the library. The faculty
and trustees set this money aside for
the special use of the department of
political economy, which was sadlly in
needl of a library of references. Ac
cordingly a very valuable collection of
hooks relating to this dlepartmlent has
been p)urchasedl and will be set up in
the library as soon as the special case
which has been ordered for it arrives.
Miss Jean Adams, class 't)8, is at
present at Oxford. She has been
writing various articles in Oxford life
GRIDIRON SCHEDULE
ALMOST COMPLETED
Carolina Will Meet Many of Her
Old Rivals.
EIGHT GAMES WILL BE PLAYED
Manager Simpson Out for Games Before
Other Football Managers
Are Stirring.
The football schedule for next
season is now practically completed,
with the exception of one or two
games, which have not been closed.
At present, as arranged by Manager
Simpson, it stands as follows:
October 9-Open at present.
October i6-Georgia Tech in At
lanta.
October 23-WAake Forest in Co
1unbia.
October 28-Open, probably Char
leston College.
November 4-Clemson, Fair W'eek.
November 13-Davidson in Char
lotte.
November 20-Mercer in Macon,
not closed.
November 25-Citadel in Charles
ton, Thanksgiving.
The schedule is thus seen to consist
of eight games, and is a very good one
indeed. Last season there were more
games played, but they were practice
games and some with smaller institu
tions. Next season there w\,ill not be,
perhaps, as many games as heretofore,
but they will be with the leading col
leges of ,the South and with which
it will be an honor for Carolina to be
.victorious. The tendency has been
be fore this to always take oi games
with "Prep." schools and smaller col
leges. Generally it is true at the be
ginning of the season for practice
games. But this has been demon
strated to he undesirable, for by win
ning such games the University has
nothing to be proud of, while she has
much to lose if defeated. The most
notable instance of this was the game
with 1ingham School in mid-season of
1908. It is the intention and desire of
the manager to avoid this as far as
possible next season, and the schedule
shows that he has done so. Possibly
the first game of the season will be
witi a preparatory school or smaller
college, but this is to be by the way
of practice more than anything else,
and to allow the team to find itself as
it were. But certainly it can be said'
that no such games will be played in
midl-season. Manager Simpson could
not arrange a suitab)le (late wvith
'Washington and Lee for the Virgin
ians to meet us on the gridiron.
Neither could Richmond College be
played. The latter (desired a post
season game to be played sometinme
between 'Thanksgiving and Christmas,
but of course no such proposition could
be entertaine'd.
One noticeable feature of the pres
