VOL. III. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., APRIL 30, 1910. No. 25. MOVEMENT TO SECRE STUDENT SECRETARY. Student Body Has Raised Most of Requisite Amount. One of Carolina's Most Urdent Needs Soon to be Realized. On last Monday morning, Mr. W. D. Weatherford, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and J. E. Johnson, Esq., secretary for the Carolinas, ad dressed the student body on the ad visability of securing a student secre tary for the University. At .the conclusidn of brief talks by these gentlemen, several of the stu dents spoke. A motion was finally passed to begin a canvass of the stu dent body to secure subscriptions for the salary of a student secretary. A committee was appointed, which, up to this writing, has succeeded in rais ing $970. The amount necessary to secure the services of a good ima will be about $1,400. Of this amount the committee decided to raise $1,100 from students, of whom about sevety five have not yet beer. seen. Of course, the remaining $120 will be raised easily. Then the faculty, trustees and alumni will be asked for a contribu tion of $300. The hearty response of the- student body in raising this fund assures for Carolina next session one of her- greatest needs-an active and energetic student secretary. High School Meet. The High School Meet to be held on Davis Field is attracting wide spread attention throughout the State. Mr. Schofield is every (lay receiving letters from the various high schools, and the entries promise to be very large. Sumter, one of the most pro gressive towns in the State, will send their military company of fifty boys, in addition to an athletic team. The young cadets will give an exhibition drill and will add much to the pleas ure of the (lay. The meet will mean much for the University, in that it will bring it into close touch with the high schools of the State. At the same time it will promote participation in all forms of athletics by the youth of the State just below the college age, and will result in sending men to col lege much better equipped along ath letic lines. The meet is to take place on next Saturday and will be an in tensely interesting as well as important event. SPEAKING OF THlE BEN GREETs. 'Twas in a restaurant they met, One Romeo and Juliet ; And since that time lie's been in debt, TFnr TRnmeo'd what Tuli-et. CAROLINA MAKES IT EIGHT STRAIGHT. Gamecocks Defeat Citadel and Wake forest. Citadel Plays Good Boll-North Caro lintans Outclassed. Eight straight victories! That is how matters stood last week. The latest victim drove up from Charles ton in the shape of the Citadel Cadets. Despite the absence of Wideman, Foxworth and Havird from the game, the visitors were quite easily handled. Wyche pitched good ball, and was well supported in the only tight place that occurred. McMillan scored in the first inning after rapping out a 2-bag ger on the first ball delivered by the Citadel pitcher. In the second inning Carolina scored four more on five safeties, two of them ldoubles. Legge scored for the Citadel in the third on an error. After this the scoring ceased, and the game settled down into a very pretty exhibition. "Reddy" Metts, the Mormon guy, from Salt Lake City, pulled off various entertain ing fielding stunts, among others an unassisted double play. Legge played well in the field for the Citadel, as did Rogers. Watts led the hitters of the evening with two singles and a double out of four endeavors.

A record was probably estab lished in the first inning wlhen Caro lina scored ten runs, before having a man retired. In this inning every man on the -home team scored once, with the exception of Foxwortli, who scored twice. The round lasted so long that Wyche's arm grew cold, and when he re-entered the box he was rather wild. Shaw then went in and held the visitors safe for the remain der of the contest. The feature of the evening was a great running catch of UJtley's in (deep left, and his (douibling of Wideman at first. The dlrive wvas off Watt's bat and( wvas good for five or six sacks. Beam, the Wake Forest right fielder, also punlledl off a neat stunt, when he doubled a sliding Gamecock at the plate. Watts and Wideman furnished the fielding sensa tions for Carolina. "01" Harvird led the hitters with a triple andl two sin (Continued on Page Twon) GEORGIA BREAKS THE CHARM. Takes Two Games from Carolina's Veterans. McMillan Knocks a Home Run but Could Not Work the Trick. At last the winning streak is broken. 'Tlie feat was accomplished by the University of Georgia team. After winning eight straight contests the Gamecocks lost the first of a series of two games with the Georgians. The Carolinians were at a disadvantage, because of the ruling out of Wideman and Ilavird. Their absence materially weakened the University nine. As it was, Georgia really put up the better game. Their infield work was beauti ful, and deadly, while the catching of Lucas was a feature. His pegging to bases was the best seen here this sea son. Carolina had many chances to win out, but poor work in plinches seemed inevitable as the game pro gressed. Infield errors brought de feat, which even McMillan's smashing home run over center field fence could not drive away. The Georgia out fielders proved a pathetic picture as they gazed through knot-holes at the fast disappearing object of "Mc's" caressing willow. Crane Waring pulled off the greatest heaving stunt of the year in left field, when he killed a man at the rubber with many feet to spare. The throw did not touch the ground during its homeward flight. Waring gracefully responded to the apl)lause of the stands by immediately (Continued on Page Two.) Geolodists Go to Rion. The grave and dignified Seniors of the Geology class dropped their man ties of dignity on last Thursday and assumed a garb of pleasure, wending their way to the famous granite quar ries near Winnsboro, under the guid ance of Prof. Mayville \V. Twitchell. Arriving at Rockton, they were met by Mr. Ben Heyward, a former Caro linian of the class of 1910, who did himself proud by his entertainment. The "dummy line" express was wait ing near by, and all the party pro ceeded to Rion, where they inspected the cutting and polishing departlients of the granite company. Again mounting the express, the crowd pro ceedled to the famous Anderson quarry. Hlere surrounded by giant walls of granite and wvith the elements conspfi ring again st him, Dr. Twitchell could restrain himself 110 longer-t he wvordls wvould come, and he gave a short and interesting lecture on the formation and composition of granite. 0Once again the party returned to Rion, where a delightful supper ended the festivities. MIDSUMMER'S DREAM A WINTRY REALITY. Ben Greet Players Present Two Plays in Chapel. Audiences Delldhted With Sympathetic Interpretation of Shakespeare. On Monday and Tuesday nights, the far-famed Ben Greet Players pre sented two Shakespearean dramas in the University chapel. These players are too well-known in Columbia to ever need an introduction, and their coming had ')een largely looked for ward to. Unfortunately the weather was unkind and the performances had to take place in the chapel instead of out-of-doors, thus taking away one of the most distinctive features of these celebrated performances. A stage had been erected beneath the beautiful oaks behind DeSaussure College, and every arrangement made for a woodland performance. Even the moon had consented to shine for the occasion, but the untimely blizzard made any thing but an indoor performance im possible. In spite of this . fact, the audience was not aware that anything was missing. The stage had been banked with green boughs and the floor covered with vines, making a very realistic forest. The actors' costunies were beautiful and their in terpretation of Shakespeare all that cotld be wished. The first night, "A Midsuniier-Night's Dream," was the play given, an(d rarely ever have lovers of Shakespeare been afTorded a chance to see this beautiful comedy so well presented. On the second night, the audience that greeted "Romeo and Juliet" crowded the chapel to the doors, and vas in every sense repre sentative. Large delegations from the two girls' colleges were present, and numbers of town people, besides a great many, students and members of the faculty and their families. The (Continiued on Page Two.)
