A BOW.
The newv editorial s.taff of "The
Gamecock" makes its first bow~ to
the pub)lic with this issue. 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.
