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.

NEW PROFESSOR FOR UNIVERSITY.
Prof. Tate, of Charleston. to FIl New
Chair of Secondary Education.
W. K. 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.

torical Association was held in the
University chapel. The preliminary
was won by B. D. Carter, Law, '10,
of the Euphradian Society. This con

during the year, being the time at
which a man is selected to represent
the University in the largest oratorical

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.
