FOOTBALL PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR Manager Thomas Publishes Part of Schedule-Prospects of Team. The football team of 1910 has a bright future before it. With the coach, manager and captain elected and the schedule nearly completed, everything points to a successful sea son. The advisory board was fortunate in securing the services of Mr. John H. Neff, Jr., the former Virginia star, for a coach. Mr. Neff has had some ex perience as coach since playing at Vir ginia. He was field coach last year under Dr. Lambeth at Virginia. Be sides knoWing the game thoroughly, Mr. Neff is a man of great personality, one who will command the respect of not only the football team itself, but of the student body as a whole. The Captain, U. G. DesPortes, Jr., is from Winsboro. He has played varsity two years, and has proved that he knows the game. He has all the qualities of a gentleman and will com mand the respect of every man on Davis Field. With DesPortes as cap tain harmony and the combined efforts of the whole squad will be assured. The Manager, Halcott B. Thomas, is from Colum'bia. He has been assist ant manager for the past two years, and will make the team a good. mana ger. There are an assistant manager and an advertising manager to be elected later. As for the team itself, we have rea son to believe that it will be a strong one. We will loose some valuable men this year-Belser, Cain, Carter, Murdaugh, Beverly, Hammond--will all graduate. With Sharpton, Mills, J. D. Rawl, Mobley, Waring, Buie, Sligh, Metts, Stoney, McNair, Black burn and DesPortes, of last year's varsity, who will all return, together with the strong scrub team of last year, we should have an excellent team. Bethune, Mills, H. 0., Brad ley, Boyd, Wilson, W. M., McGowan, McMurray, McMillan, Crawford, Woodrow, Lipscomb, Wright, Sim kins, Mace, Watson, Perkins, Smith, Riley, Owen, Girardeau, who com posed the scrub team last year, besides others who made excellent showing in the class games, but who never came out during the varsity season. Among these are Wyche, Graydon, W. M., Hill. This gives us a good squad to select from, but, of course, we shall draw some material from the new men, who enter next year. It is known that several old football men will attend the Law school. Their expertence wvill aid materially in developing a new team. Manager Thomas has not yet completed the schedule. The cancelling of a game will cause a readjustment. Efforts were made to secure games with V. M. I., University of Tenn., Universi ty of Ala., and University of Ga., but satisfactory arrangements could not be made, so that we will not p)lay any of these teams. Instead we will meet some of our old t'ime rivals. The schedule, so far completed, is as follows: October 5th, Charleston College at Colunbia (not closed). October 15th, University of Florida at Jacksonville (not ced.). October 22d, Georgia Medical Col lege at Columbi.a. October 27th, Wake Forest or N. C. Medical College at Spartanburg .(not closed). November 3d, Clemson at Columbia. November 12th, Davidson at Co lumbia. November 19th, University of N. C. Rt Durham. November 24th, Citadel at Charles ton. CLARIOSOPHICS HOLD INTRA SOCIETY CONTEST. Carns and McMillan Win Debater's and Declaimer's Medals. At the annual Intra-Society Contest of the Clariosophic Society, held in the society's hall last Friday evening, E. N. Carns, '11, won the debater's and T. S. McMillan, the declaimer's medal. The query for the debate was: "Resolved, That labour organizations, as they now exist, are, on the whole, beneficial to society in the United States." Mr. CarnF showed that he had studied his subject, and by his easy and delightful manner, made an excellent impression upon his audi ence. Mr. Carns is a member of the Junior class, and is president of the Clariosophic Society. Mr. McMillan, of 'baseball and piano fame, has added a victory upon the rostrum to his already enviable record. Tommy seems to be "there with the goods" at almost anything. His excellent delivery on "Leaders of Men," won an easy victory over his competitors. The following is the program of the evening: Address of welcome, V. J. Rector, '11 (Cherokee). D4CLAIMERS. S. L.

Tate, assistant superintend ent of the Charleston schools, has been elected State Supervisor of elementary rural schools. If connection with his new work, Pr6f. Tate will also fill the professorshi> of elemenaary edu cation in the department of pedagogy at the University. The addition to our faculty of one with so much ex perience in elementary sichool work will greatly strengthen the department of education at the University. The selection of Prof. Tate by the executive committee of the board of trustees of the University to make a special study of weak rural schools was most timely. He enters this new field with much experience in both city, town and country schools. For the past twelve years he has actively idientified himself with educationat work in South Carolina. Besides be ing a member of the State Board of Education, he is the retiring president of the State Teachers' Association. Prof. Tate will move to Columbia at the close of the present scholastic year, and will have his office on the campus. His Pwork for elementary schools will correspond to the very effective work Prof. Hand is at pres ent doing for the high schools of the State. At present the country school is the weakest link in our educational system. The University realizes this and is earnestly striving to remedy this fundamental weakness. Through Prof. Tate the Department of Educa tion will be able! to reach the schools most needing improvement. "C"s and Monograms Awarded.

Euphradfan to Represent University In Southern-Many Other Good Speeches. On Monday night the preliminary for the Southern Inter-Collegiate Ora torical Association was held in the University chapel. The preliminary was won by B. D. Carter, Law, '10, of the Euphradian Society. This con test is one of the most important held during the year, being the time at which a man is selected to represent the University in the largest oratorical meet in the South. Nine Southern colleges and universities form the as sociation, which holds this contest, among them being some of the largest institutions in the South. Mr. Car ter's speech had as its subject "The Criminal and Our Responsibility," and was ably written and well delivered. All of the contestants acquitted them selves with great credlit, and the con test was one of the best held at the University this year. The following is the list of speakers and their sub jects: H. C. Ritter, Jr. (Clariosophic), "A Nation's Toll." I. F. Belser (Euphradian), "The South Must Be Restored." I.- N. 'Edwards (Clariosophic), "Ministry, Not Mastery." S. S. Williams (Clariosophic), "The Statesmen of the South." B. D. Carter (Euphradian), "The Criminal and Our Responsibility." Mr. James H. Hammond was the presiding officer of the occasion. A "stuck-up" sort of a genius en tered a shop, and, turning up his nose at some apples in the window, ex claimed: "Are those apples fit for a hog to eat ?" "I don't knowv; try them and see," was the instant reply of the shop keeper. means to us for you to ubscription ?
