VOL. IV. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 14, 1910. No. 3. PROFESSOR COLCOCK REPRESENTS STATE. Interesting Report of the Work of the Good Roads Association. Our Professor is Very Highly Compli mented by All the Newspapers of Knoxville. By request Prof. F. H. Colcock has given us a report of the Appalachian Good Roads Association, which was held at Knoxville, Tenn., last week, and to which he was sent as a delegate from this State. The Knoxville pa pers complimented Professor Colcock very highly, saying that he made one of the best speeches that was delivered at the meeting, and that he was a very forceful speaker. We are proud of our worthy representative and thank him very much for the following sketch of the meeting: The meeting of the Appalachian Good Roads Association, held in Knoxville, was not only exceedingly interesting and inspiring, but very in structive. The papers and discussions extended over almost every phase that could possibly be introduced into the subject, starting with material and winding up with labor. The two topics of discussion per haps of most interest were relation of railroads to good roads and the use of convict labor in the construction of good roads. Of the latter I shall have very little to say. There were but few dissenting voices to the proposition that all convict labor should be utilized on the public roads of the State. A proposition was introduced by resolu tion to condemn the use of convict labor for any other purpose. This (Continued on Page Four.) Clariosophic Election. The Clariosophic Society held its regular second term election on last Saturday night. Next Saturday was the regular time for the election, but considering the fact that there would be a reception at one of the female colleges on that time it was thought best to have it before the regular time. The following men were elected: President, V. J. Rector. Vice President, C. G. Wyche. Secretary, T. S. McMillan. Treasurer, B. T. Rainsford. Literary Critic, J. D. Brandlenberg. Librarian, A. E. Tuten. Recorder, J. J. Hill. Sargeant-at-A rms, S. E. Owens. Joint Society Committee, J. A. Gaines and Hoyt Watson. "Scoutette" ran well for all the four latter offices, but their political ma chines were not well organized and they failed, to be elected. CAROLINA DEFEATS I Very Slow Game With The First Game Played on Rules, Which Ca There has perhaps never been a slower game played on Davis Field than that between Carolina and Charleston College Saturday after noon. While Carolina wbn by a score of 8 to 0, and the game goes down in history as a victory for Carolina, still on the field after the game, or on the campus, there was no especial feeling of joy at the result of the game. The field was in bad shape, and the rain made it a nasty game for all con cerned. ' The most noticeable point was the number of kicks made during the game, and these were good con sidering the condition of the ball. In fact, the game was a punting battle be tween Metts, for Carolina, and Preg nall, for Charleston. Middleton, the little quarter for the Charleston team, did the best work for his college. His fast plays were watched with interest at every turn. For Carolina, the star player was Brinson, who performed in the capac ity of left tackle. This brilliant exe cution was amazing. No chance of glory was missed by this great player. The forward pass of Alexander to McGowan was pretty good work, gain ing 25 yards for the University eleven. All the scoring came in the first half, the first and only touchdown be ing made by Carolina after six min utes of play. McNair tried to kick The Opening German. The opening german was held in the Steward's Hall on last Wednesday, October 12th. Davis orchestra fur nished the music, to the strains of which twenty-five couples danced until an early hour of the morning. At twelve o'clock supper was served, after which a short german was danced, being led by Mr. V. 13. Mc Gowan, the senior leader. The chaperones were Dr. and Mrs. S. C. Mitchell, Prof. and Mrs. A. C. Moore, Prof. and Mrs. M. G. Holmes, Prof. and Mrs. Yates Snowdep, Prof. and Mrs. M. R. Twitchell, Prof. and Mrs. Erierson. Among the dancers were Mr. Mc Gowan with Miss Simkins, Mr. Hoey with Miss Moore, Mr. Thomas with Miss Wells, Mr. Perkins with Miss \vValker, Mr. Mobley with Miss Mel ton, Mr. Stoney wvith Miss D)uBose, Mr. FitzSimmons wvith Miss Hey wvard, Mr. Hlazard wvith Miss Craw ford, Mr. Green with Miss Thompson, Mr. Norwoodl with Miss Brice. Quite a number of stags were present. Fresh Jenkins: "Say, Kiddlo, do you know what time that 5 o'clock train is due to get here ?" TDARLSTON COLLEGE. Few Spectacular Plays. Davis Field Under the New .ises Much Delay. goal from the field, but failed. A Charleston man got his hands on the ball, but it rolled over the line and thus made the score, after which McNair kicked a beautiful goal. The safety came in the second quarter, McGowan carrying Middleton over the line, while the college quarter back had the ball. Carolina weakened considerably in line toward the end of the game, allowing a number of gains to be made by Charleston's backs. Carolina lost much by the use of hands, being penalized time after time. Both teams appeared unfamiliar with the new rules to some extent, and the game was slowed up some on this account, since the rule books had often. to be consulted to determine the points that arose.

Football Matinee. Through the efforts of Mr. J. O. Sheppard and Mr. J. 1. Hazard there will be a matinee of the football game in Augusta tomorrow afternoon. The management of the Lyric Theater has kindly consented to give us the theater free of charge and we will only have to pay for the wires. This is the first attempt that has been made along this line, and we want every man in the student body to be present promptly on time. The plays will be given on the blackboard just as they are made, and it will be almost like seeing the real game. Fellows, let us show our college spirit by attending this mati nee. The admission is only 25 cents. and we should all go up and yell for Carolina. We wish to thank the Lyric for its favor very much, and we will more than repay them by our attend ance at their dlaily p)erformances. Fresh Kollocks wants to knowv if there will be a set of moving p)ictures at the football matinee on Saturday afternoon. "Frowvsy Bill" Graydon wants to know who has been relieving Prof. A. C. Moore of all of his nomegras THE UNIVERSITY LECTURE COURSE. The Program for the Entire Year is Completed. The Success of This Course Last Year Assures Us That It Will Be Quite Popular This Season. One of the most important ncw fea tures of the University during the past session was the inauguration of the University Extension Course of Lec tures. Throughout the entire year the University students had the privi lege of attending a different lecture every week ; thus broadening their scope of knowledge. The entire series was so successful, and niet with such great approval, both from the citizens of Columbia and the University students, that it has been decided to arrange another series of lectures extendiing throughout the entire session. These lectures fill a long-wished-for need. They gave the studlents glimpses of studies which otherwise they would never have known of, as those particular studies might not'have been in ther course. The first lecture is on November 10th. At that time Dr. Alitchell will lecture on "The Foremost Figure in the French Revolution." Those who were at the University last session will remember with pleasure the two highly instructive an(d interesting lectures given by Dr. Mitchell. As a lecturer he needs no introduction. and as a student of history his record is well knowin. His lecture will be looked forward to with great pleasure. The following course of lectures have beei arranged for this session, to which the public is cordially invited: Lecture 1, November 1th-"Tie Foremost Figure in the French Revo lution," by Presidlent S. C. Mitchell. Lecture 2, November 17th "Shakespeare. and Some New Facts an( Theories About im," by Prof. G. A. Wkauchope. Lecture 3, December 1st-"Studetil Life at Oxford." by Mr4. W. P. Mills.
