VOL. III. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 21, 1909. No. 4. SCRUBS WIN FIRST GAME. Columbia High School Rein forced by Several Old Stars Taken On. OFF DAY FOR THE SCRUBS. Only Two Touchdowns Scored by the Second Eleven. Oh, thou mighty, mighty scrubs! You won anyhow. Hurrah for the scrubs! By the tune of 11-0 the scrubs defeated the Columbia High School in Davis field on last Satur day. It would be a waste of time and space to enumerate the star plays. Everybody were stars, from "Grease" Graydon who kicked a beautiful goal to Swygert, who played gool ball for Columbia. In the first half the scrubs after twelve minutes' play carried the ball over the goal line by continual line bucks by McGovern. Graydon fails to buck goal. Score scrubs 5, Columbia o. In the second half McGowan repeated the line buck ing stunt and made anither touch dowin. Graydon kicks goal. Score, Carolina ii, Columbia o. For Carolina McGowan did good work in line bucking, Stoney and Izlar playedl hard ball and made frequent gains in end rns. Smith caught two bautiful forward passes, mak ing good gains. Mills tackled like a fiend. High school showed some good material. Hornsby at quarter enters team well and made a spec tacular run of 90 yards in a fumble by scrubs. Swygert, who is an old Carolina man, played a good game, tackling hard and carrying the ball. Harth played a good right end, fre quently breaking tip end runs. Hioi Sciooi. SCRUBS.

JOYNES THE DONATOR. One More Tie Added to Bind the Venerable Doctor in Our Memory. The University has been tendered a most munificent gift by one whom we all love and respect. This gift is as much appreciated on account of the spirit of the givers as on account of its intrinsic value to our univer sity. We feel inadequate to the task of adding anything to the presenting letter, so we publish it below: University of South Carolina, October i8th, 19o9. The President and Faculty, University of South Carolina: Dear Sirs and Collea'ues: Desiring to express my affection for the University and the State of South Carolina, and also to leave some memorial of myself in an insti tution which I have served so long, I offer to present to the university my entire library of Modern Lan guages, as a Department Library, to be held for the University under the control of the professor, or pro fessors, of that department and, as (Continued on Page Three.) Law Association. On last Friday evening the Law As sociation held its regular weekly meet ing and tried anothed criminal case. G. R. Pettigrew was the judge of the occasion. Ie presided with great firmness and had a good opportunity to use the legal learning he possesses, in deciding and ruling ulon the fine points brought out by the attorneys. Potter and Salley made an earnest plea to the jury to uphold the dignity of the State and convict the prisoner; while McDonald brought into play all of his "mountain" oratory aid, hand sonely backe(l up by the ponderous eloquence of Chapman, made a desper ate effort to clear him, btut to no avail. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of uitirder in the first degree, and the judge summarily sentenced him to hang. Another murder case will be tried next Friday night, and the academics are cordliallv invited to attend(. We always prefer to have a jury of academlics, if possible, but sometimes we are forced to use lawv students. Nearly every man~1 has to sit onl a jury someC time (luring his~ life, so wvhy not come to Moot Court and get a little exp)erience alonig this line? \Ve feel sure that they will find the trial of one case, at least, very interesting and STUDENTS ENJOY FINE SPEECH. Another of the Monday Morn ing Series of Addresses is Held. MR. W. W. BALL SPEAKS. An Alumnus From the Famous '78 Class Gives Interesting Talk. On last Monday morning when Dr. Mitchell introduced Mr. W. W. Ball, of The State, the students and faculty alike were delighted. In his introductory- remarks Dr. Mitchell related to the struggle of the Univer sity during the war period. ie spoke in the highest terms of the class of '87, mentioning among its members Prof. A. C. Moore, Dr. Wilson, president of the Charleston Medical College, and of Mr. W. W. Ball, a representative of the press from that famnous class. The theme which Mr. Ball se lected for his talk was "The Ways in Which the State University Can Be Made of Additional Value to Co lumbia." This is a subject which Mr. Ball can handle most admirably, first on account of his own experi ence, and then by the diligent study and the interest which he has taken in his alma mater. Mr. Ball all.uded to the fact that Columbia should be the center of in terest of our commonwealth. ie substantiated his remarks by men tioning the fact that the Legislature holds its sessions here, and that in this body we have gathered to gether, after several siftings, the representatives of the body politic of the State of South Carolina. An other argument is the assistance of the faculty of the University to the (Continued on Page Three.) The Fair Week Issue. Tmi GAmI'cocK staff is planning a big eight page issue for Fair Week.

On October x6th, the Carolina football team suffered defeat by a heavy score at the hands of the Georgia School of Technology, on the Tech's athletic field. The game throughout was interesting, at points spectacular. It is seldom that a game that results in a score of 59 to o can uphold the attention and enthusiasm of football fans, but even the Atlanta papers are forced to ad mit that the grit and grain of the Carolina squad was everywhere evi dent, and that the battle was well worth seeing. The Carolina squad was out weighed by a very considerable fig ure. Not only that but the Tech squad in its way was fast. But why should she not get out a strong, fast iteam ; with five hundred or more men eligible for the football team while Carolina has perhaps not more than one hundred eligible under the (Continued on Page Three.)
