In this, our initial issue, we hav-e endleavoredl to give you some athletic news of interest, and from nowv on we shall strive with every effor~t to make the bird an interesting pap)er. It is, and rigehtfly shemul1 be, the soul of c l,ege spirit, and we shall work faith fully and earnestly towards that end. Any adverse criticism accom panied by suggestions will be gladly received, but no knocking will be allowed. All persons attempting to knock will be immediately "canned." Theve is a great difference between knockers And citics, the latter raise object;ions and make suggestions to help recti-fy the wrong, while the former never see anything optimistic in life; they simply knock and knock and nvever do anything themselves. If you cannot write for your paper or cannot say anything encouraging about it, don't speak at all-don't be a knocker. "The Gamecock" also solicits anly contributions of poems, stories, jokes, etc., that anyone should de sire to contribute. It is your paper, Carolinians, so 'write for it. CAROLINIANS, WILL YOU? Tomorrow at eleven o'clock, Caro lina and Clemson meet on the Fair Ground to do battle. It will be a great game from beginning. to end. This short editorial is written to all Carolina men ; iead it and take it to heart. It is an appeal to you to sulpport your team from the side line. \Vill you? Will vou show the Clemson men and all Fair visitors that the Carolina men have college spirit, that they support their teams in victory and defeat? The center of the grandstand will be roped off and reserved for the entire student body, its alumni and friends. Vith a student body of 400 men, numerous alumni and friends, there is no reason why we should not have a cheering section of 6oo or more-and what a noise they vould make. Think of the team playing hard upon the field, possibly tired and hard pressed ; all at once they catch the sound of "Carolina," their alma mater, sung to the tune of stirring music by 500 lusty voices; the blood will boil in their veins, they will wake up and go back into the game with renewed vigor and determination to win. Remember, Carolinians, good sid.e line support will help pui-sh more pig skins across the goal than anything else, unless it be superhumnan strength. The cheer leaders will be on hand to le.ad the "big noise," and "big noise it shall be." Carolinians, will you wake up? Will you support your team? Then d1 it. WELCOME, CLEMSON. After a long year of sreparation1, Carolina and Clemson meet together once more andl bat,tle on the grid iron. Fre "The Gamecock" has made its applearance, the streets of our fair city will b'e thronged with hundredls of military-clad boys. The hatchet is buried. WVe have met annually and buriedl that weapon of wvar, until now it is so (dee) in the groundl that it will never be un'earthedl. Clemson andl 'laro lina are hound by the stre. igest bands of friendship. D)uring p)ast years whenever we have met on the street and the Fair Grounds, we have alwas exch,,e greetings and expressions of friend ship. Tihe same shall be continued this year. Once luere we meet in royal con flict oi c the gridiron. Both teams intend to play fair, clean ball. It vill be a battle to the finish. Clemson, welcome to the city, wel come to the University campus, give us the right hand of goo(l'fellowshi). We are glad to have you with us. DAVIDSON MEETS CHARLESTON COLLEGE Fierce Gridiron Battle Today Elevens Evenly Matched-Both Speedy-A Great Game May Be Expected. Next to the Carolhia - Clemson game, the most interesting feature of Fair Week will be the Davidson Charleston College game. This struggle will be especially intlerest ing since both teams have played exceptional ball this season, and each eleven has defeated its old rival; Davi(lson defeating the University of Nort Carolina by the score of 6 to o, and Charleston College run ing over the Citadel to the tune of II too. It w\ill be remenmibere(l that the game last year between Davidson and the Citadel resulted in a stand still--o to o. Taking this into con sideration, it is difficult to predict the result of the game next Wednes day. Both teams are expecting to win the game on speed, since they are eVenly matched in both experience anl weight, averaging about 140 pound(s. Davi(lson's team is green and lighter than usual, but it has been wihipped into shape by Coach Sim mons, and is now\ one of the fastest bunches in the South. Charleston College eleveii has been put in fine shape by "Red" Edgerton, a former Davidsoi star. Thus, it is seen at once that Charles ton is on to :the "tricks" of David son. Keen interest is felt all over the State as to wlhat the' outcome of the game will be. There are alumni and friends of both institutions who are anxiously wai.ting to wvitness the scramble over th'e pigskin on next Wednesday.
