VOL. III. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 28, 1909. No. 5. BASKETBALL GAME FAIR WEEK. The Carolina Squad Now Hard at Work Preparing for the Conflict. DAVIDSON TO BE TAKEN ON. Old Rivals Meet in a New Branch of Athletics. On the fair grounds next Tuesday (Nov. 2), between 10:30 and 11:30, the basketball battle will be fought between Carolina and Davidson. This will be the fastest basketball game that has ever been played in Columbia. Davidson has one of the best teams in the South, neverthe less Carolina will be able to play her old rival a stiff game. For the past few weeks our var sity squad has shown a wonderful im provement-al most unbelievable. Every man is doing magnificent in dividual work. Mr. Schofield, the coach, says he has never seen any better team work than the squad is now doing. Every man knows his place, and plays it. The team will be selected from the varsity squad which is composed of the following players: Vassey, Bolt, McMurray, White, Kinard, Hamer, Knight and Jayroe. The Davidson line-up has not yet been announced. This game will be played on Educational Day. Every institution in the State of any prominence will have representatives in Co lumbia that day. Boys, it will be our privilege to show the whole State our loyalty to Carolina by coming out to this game. If we do not go to our own game how can we expect anybody else to go to it. There would be no better way for us to advertise the University than by turning out a good crowd to this game. Let every one of us be on the ground to yell for Caro lina. It will help to win the game. Tell all your visiting friends to go to the Carolina-Davidson Basketball game, for it will be worth any man's money. Help to make the game a success. You can do it! Oh! You Scrubs! On Friday (tomorrow) the scrubs will play the Georgia Medical school at the Edgefield county fair. This is one of the several nice trips that the scrubs will take this fall, so after all there is a fine reward in store for those wvho go out and play every evening whether they be scrubs or varsity.

CARLISLE DEAD. End Came Very Peacefully on Last Thursday Morning. Carolina's most distinguisied son gone to rest from his labors. One week ago, on Thursday morn ing as the sun rose over the campus of Wofford College, driving night before it and awakening the people to begin another (lay's routine of toil and labor, the spirit of James H. Carlisle took its flight for another world and awoke to begin another (Continued on Page Three.) Law Association. The Law Association had very short session last Friday night, as no case was tried. The shortness of the meeting was due to the fact that the solicitors, Carter and Ashley, nol prossed their case. It was supposed to be a case in volving all alibi, but, after a careful study of the facts, the State's attor neys came to the conclusion that it was useless to go to trial with such a weak case. The defence had been boasting that they intended to quash the indictment but the State did not g've them the chance. As soon as the moot court ad journed the Association held its usual business meeting. At this meeting it was decided to pay tile jurors in future. We appreciate the fact that the Academics do not always enjoy lis telling to our oratory or the judge's charge for an entire evening, and so it was thought best to pay each juror ten cents for every case on which le sits. By this means we hope always to secure an Academic jury; and they, in their turn, call go to tile Lyric tile next night and thus get some fun out of their service after all. All the cases tried so far have been murder cases, but tile one scheduled for next Friday night will be entirely different, and we feel sure that the argument, cross-exani nation and, in fact, the whole trial, will be spicy and interesting. Tile sad news of tile dleathI of our 01(1 friend, Mr. Reynolds, filled tile law stuldenIts withl regret. iHi was ever genlial anld kind ; al ways glad to shlow us whlere tile books, ill which we were ill searchl, were to be found, anld to make uis at hlome in the Supreme Court Library. The law schlool attended the fune ral in a body and( also sent a floral offering. MONDAY MEETING GREATLY ENJOYED. Another of the Interesting Ad dresses Heard. MR. ANDREW BETHEA SPEAKS Gives an Interesting Account of the Alaska-Yukon Exposition. Fortunately for the students, Dr. Mitchell procured Mr. Andrew Be thea to give the students an account of his trip to the Alaska-Yukon Pa cific Exposition. Mr. Bethea preluded his remarks by expressing his pleasure and grat ification at being honored by an in vitation to address the students of the University of South Carolina. "If Goldsmith lived today he would sing of the beautiful West, said Mr. Bethea. "It stanids for wealth, opportunity, and environ ment." If one were asked the epitome of the exposition and Seat tle his answer would be given under four distinct heads, namely: i. The great plan of expansion. 2. The peculiarly perfect physical features. 3. Perfectness in character of the exhibits. 4. Perfectness in the department of education. "The public school systems of the West are excellent despite having matured so quickly." "This exposition," says Mr. Bethea, "was born big and its growth was phenomenal." In 1905 the exposition was started, being in tended for the "Seattle Fair," with a capital of $ioo,ooo. The exposi tion, though it cost $o,ooo,ooo, dis played $50,000,000 in full value to the people. This undertaking was a triumphant business success, due to (Continued on Page Three.) Dancing School. On last Thursday night the first meeting of the dancing class was held at Craven Hall. This affords a most excellent opportunity for those who have not yet learned to dance to learn. The gentlemen who are run ning this school regret very much that the teacher was absent at the last meeting on account of the in clemency of the weather but wish to say that she will be present without fail hereafter.

Last Saturday afternoon, on Davis Athletic Field, the Carolina football squad was defeated by the btunch from Wake Forest College. The Tarheels have no better team than we, and no faster team, but on last Saturday after noon they started luckily, by naking a touch-down on a fluke onside kick, and then later by kicking goal, all within tie first eight minutes of the game. This nervel them up to the real working point. After this stroke of success they held their nerve well, making fewer mistakes than Carolina, but they did show soic ragged play ing, which revealed the weakness of their team. However, the Baptists were splendid on running back putits. an(l gained here where Carolina was wepik. Cariolina put up a good game, but (Continued oit Page Three.) Gamecock Election.
