Everywhere this week groups of men could have been seen intently discussing the one thing uppermost in the iin(s of all, the great trip of the teani through North Carolina and Vir ginia, and the three successive victo ries for Carolina. Never before has the team met with such unbroken suc cess, and the importance of it is em phasized by the fact that the games were all with colleges of recognized standing, all of them institutions which never fail to put out strong teams. To defeat anyone of the them would have b)eenl something to be proml of, lit to annihilate all three at a stretch makes us sure of what we ourselves have knovn all along-that our varsity is the best we have had in years, and one of the best in the South. The action of V. \l. I. in calling ofT the game on Monday is somewhat of a tribute to our discernment, and rather confirms ouir jildgmlelnt as to the strength of our team. 'Phe reason given was that the game would con Ilict with an inspection to take place that day hy an offilcer of the U. S. Army, but in view of the fact that the date for these inspec lions is usually known weeks in advance, and V. M. I. had al ready seen our game of the lay he fore, we cannot help hut feel that the game was called off, p)artly from the terror ouri team insp)i? .. Rain, uin fortunately, p)reventedf the game wvith A'. & M., and this was very much re grettedl, for the team was anxious for a try at thle North Carolina nine. Tfhere is no way of telling what wvould have happened, but we all have our op)inions, and are sorry they will not have a chance to be justified. Takeni as a whole, the trip,wvas the mo1(st successful Carolina has ever had. There wvere no dIrawbacks, and( wvith the exception of the two games which w ~erc called off, nothing to be re grettedl. Tlhroughout the entire trip) Carolina p)layedl superior ball, and her gamnes were won, not by luck, but by good playing. The team fulfilled to the highest all expectations and the Uni versity is proud of it. THE TREATMENT OF VISITING TEAMS. This leads us to another subject, whose importance is impressed upon us very forcibly when we listen to the enthusiastic accounts of the treatment received by the team throughout their trip. Every man who returned had something good to say of the colleges visited, and all came away with glow ing impressions of the North Carolina and Virginia institutions. This means a great deal, for the reputation of a college is widely spread by the teams who visit it, and whether that report is flattering or not, depends altogether upon the treatment accorded them. To a great extent it depends upon the manager, for he is in a position, more than anyone else, to solve many difficulties for vistors. . By meeting them at the trains, by giving directions as to what cars to take, and, in gen eral, placing himself at their disposal, the manager can do much to win over a visiting team. Fortunately for us, as the many teams who have been our guests, are united in testifying, our own manager is well aware of these things, and has done the University iich good by his courteous treatment of other teams. Carolina has always had a reputa tion for courtesy and a proper sense of hospitality, but let us in the future iiprove upon even our.conduct in the past. If much depends upon the man ager, a great deal depends upon the sttidents. They are the ones who show the spirit of the student body and their bearing always leaves a strong impression, whether it be good or w%'hether it be bad. With one ex ceptioll, VT. MT. I., whose treatment only intensitied by contrast the cour tesy of the other institutions, the con duct of the Virginia and North Caro fina colleges set us a very good exam ple. The teani is particularly high in its praises of the treatment received at the hlands of V. P. 1. in Blackshurg and Washington and Lee in Lexing lon. I ere. not only were the mana gers most attentive, but every member of the studeint body seeimed to regard hiimself in the light of a host to the visiting teai. The South Carolinians were their guests. and they were treated accordingly. When one of the visitors tried to make a purchase, he found it paid for, when one of hem w~aked inito a dIrug store or sodla fonntain, he was immediately besieged with ofiers of dirinks, and so onl in every conceivablle way the visitors were. nmadle to feel thc thoroughness of Virginia hospitality. In fact, one mnan remiarkedi that he hardly had need jDid You Ev stop) and tink what it overlook paying your sui Inumber ofisusady L Dolt for his pocket-book on the entire trip, and came back but a few cents poorer than when he left. This is what we would like to have said of us by visiting teams when they leave. South Carolina has never yielded to any State ,in the mat ter of hospitality, and we would wish timt with visitors of all kinds,,and in particular the teams we play,. the State University should be a true pulse to show the attitude of the State towards any stranger within her borders. Especially do we wish to prove ourselves hospitable to the team from Charleston visiting us today.. Many of the pleasantest recollections of past and present Carolina men cen ter around the City-by-the-Sea when we were the Citadel's guests. Every year our Thanksgiving game is played in Charleston and a very important factor in the arrangement is the l+as ure the visit always affords the team and all who may go with them. The Citadel always compliments Carolina with a dance, and we speak from ex perience, when we say that it is one of the most delightful we have ever at tended. Carolina has adopted and rather enlarged upon this idea, as the management has made arrangements for giving a dance to the visiting teams, whenever a game is played here. This is a good step in the right direction, but it is not all. The stu dents, individually, can do much to wards giving their guests a good time and as a starter, let us begin upon the Citadel. They will prove a worthy subject, and we can show our appre ciation of their hospitalities in the past. Collede Press Association Meets. (Continued from Page One.) meeting on "The Spirit of College Journalism." He told of the force of the college press, especially in (level oping writers and providing a field for their activities. Aliss Margaret Youmans read a paper on "The Management of the Literary I)epartment," and handled her subject in a very able manner. She was follow'ed by Dr. 1. B. Setzler, of Newberry, who spoke on college fic fion from the standpoint of technical construction. The college and people of Newberry were united in their efforts to make the convention a success and have done all in their power for the pleasure of the delegates. The following made up the present session of the convention: Misses Gladys Smith. Sadie Sullivan, College for Women ; Marie Davis, Mary 11. Manning, Gertrude D)avis, Columbia College ; Zette L.oadholt, Greenville F'emale College ; Emma Thomson, Louise Yeadon, Loretta Mc Kain.

(Continued front Page One.) a rough one for Carolina, as she lost not only from a monetary standpoint, but in the very important matter of time. An extra (lay was wasted which could have been used to great advant age in obtaining a game with some other college. It was particularly unfortunate that the V. M. I. management only learned of the inspection after seeing Carolina play Washington and Lee, as it was then too late, for Manager Graydon made other arrangements.
