STANDARD OF ATHLETICS.
WVhy did Carolina lose to Clem
soi?
This question has been asked a
hun11dred timlies since h'lu rslay of
Fair Week.
Wly did we lose? What were the
conditions alTectinlg our ldefeat?
Surely, it was not lack of training
Oin onr part, because D r. N eff is ad
imittedl to be one of the best coaches
ini thle Sonuth, and he workedl hard
and faithlfully with the squad. it can
nlot lhe attIributtedl to lack of nerv'e of
the Carolina players, because we all
know that a gamer set of football
players never wvent on a field than the
Carolina t.eam of last Thursdlay. it
was siminply t hat Clemson has a
higher stand(ardl of football than
Carolina. By that we mean they
have more men to pick from, bigger,
stronger and( mor;e exp-erienlcedl men.
There arc ov'er 6oo men at Clemson,
farmers from the backwvoods, men
of physical stature and strength.
With a large studlent b)ody Clemso-1
can have a strong squad. When thve
teams linerd U n Thra of'm,-Aair:.
W.-eek, it was easily seen that Clem
son far outweighed Carolina.
It. was -also observed that most of
the men in Clemson's line were jun
iors and seniors, with probably one
or two sophomores. They have
enough mcii to make their var
sity, without being like Carelina,
forced to use under classmen. For
two years they train and harden
their men in the gymnasium, and on
the scrub team, so when their third
and fourth year comes they have
strong men to make -their varsity.
Can Carolina raise its standard of
football? Yes, simply by getting big,
strong men to come here to college.
A strong, country farm boy, just
from the plow, when trained, can
make a great football man if he has
the proper mental equirements.
Let us keep our eyes open during
the summer and bring big men to
college. If we do so, in a few years
we will hav.e a strong team, and that
ferocious Tiger will yet bite the
dust.
- THE DRAMATIC CLUB.
In another column of "The Game
cock" is a story announcing the for
mation of a D)ramatic Club. This is
a great step in the direction of biggcr
things. Ve have long needed such
ai organization. Today the stage
is one of the greatest vocations and
the field rapidly becoming broad
eled.
All the universities of the North
hav.e dramatic clubs to train its
students for the stage, and recently
Harvard has established a dramatic
school. There is no reason why the
South should not produce its full
quota of actors and actresses.
'lhe club at present consists of
fourteen m.en ; it needs more mem
hers. Therefore, all college men
who have aided in any local play
or who show any talent whatever,
should apply for membership. Ap
plications may be made to any i.em
ber of the executive committee.
It is planned to give one or tw\o
plays for the benefit of the Athletic
Association or some other )tlblic
-enterprise of the University.
This cliib should receive the sup
port of the entire student body. If
anyone can act it is his dutY to ap
ply for membership. Take an in
terest in the Dramatic Club and lets
boost it .
'.l'he rooting on last Thursday was
good, but "nothing extra." With
a studlent body of nlear'y fouir hun
dlteed men, we ought to hav'e made
miore noise. TJhose w~ho dlid yell
wvill kick at this protest, but there
is no getting around it that tile root
inig was not what it ought to L.ase
b)eenl nor what was exp)ectedl. There
w-ere mianty men wvho stop)ped yelling
wh'ien they saw the b)all cross Caro
lina's goal line. Those men became
(dishea rt enled and( hence dlid not sill
port their team. Much crediit is (due
John Hloey and Smythe Flinn for
th'eir labor ill leading the cheering.
They' dlid good work.
WVe hav'e no more games here
until the b)aseball season ibegins in
the spring, but it is t.o b)e hoped that
the men will wakee up by thlat time
anc(l make some noise.
ATTRACTIVENESS.
The staff of "The Gamecock" is
doing everything in its power to
make "The Gamecock" an jnterest
.ing, newsy paper. We -want to
make the paper as attractive as pos
sible, and toward that end we are
exertog ourselves to the full-est ex
telft.
We are going to make the edi
torials short because we realize.that
the majority of the student body
pi,efer lighter material, such as ath
letic news anl campus gossip, hence
Ive shall fill the space usually occu
pied by long, rambling 'editorials
with news of local interest.
XWe intenl to run from time to
time the news of other coll.eges, be
cause we know that the University
has an interest in all her sister col
leges, anl -the students will be glad
to hear about them..
In several ways we are hampered;
greatest of all, by the lack of sub
scribers, and that necessarily means
lack of money. About 175 copies
go to the societies and 125 to out-of
society men, all alumni, making in
all 300 subscribers in a University
wN'hich boasts of 390 men. There
ought to be 450 subscribers on the
camplis, counting college men an
professors, an(l at least ioo among
the alumni. If "The Gamecock" had
500 or more subscribers, it could be
a six or eight page paper with all the
news.
Attractiven.ess is our motto, and
we will try to fulfill it if you will
give us your support, both financial
and literary. See the business man
ager at 6 East Legare and sign up.
More Truth Than Poetry.
There lived two warriors bold
In a country we all know.
Tthey both were brilve and hardy,
And had van<Ilished many a foe.
The tales of their prowess were many
And nunny the deeds they had dole.
They hald fought inl many a hattle,
And many it victory had won.
But. still, with all of their fighting,
And with all of their great renown,
T lhy never hal met each other,
Tho' they'd traveled through many a town.
Jelalous they grew of each other;
T'ey envied each other's fame.
Eatch swore that sooner or later
IHe'd bring the other to shame.
The one for eidlranee was noted,
IHis muscles were tough and strong.
'Ile other was young anditi vigorous,
And Could fight both hard and long.
At last they came together,
And met on the battlefield.
Each fitted his helmet tighter,
Then placed his arm through his shield.
Tihe fight was soon waging fiercely
I et ween these warriors brave;
Thiey both fought hitrder thant ever
Tihey kniew that to lose meant the grave.
'The sparks were flying incessant
As steel uponit steel w~outld claish
And1( swords thtrough thle ir went hissing
As at eacht oilier they'd dalsh.
Ilut soonu the yotung one grew weaker
And( his spirit biegan to abate.
IIe wats p)ressed1 back fu rthier and1( further
1By the one whlose enuuranc(e was great.
At lenigth the battle was eunded
And the victii's fate was sealed;
Baut the strength of the other was ebbing
And collapse on his face was revealed.
Now, who were these bold, brave watrriors
Who sought the other's life to take?
Th'le victim wias a freshmnan, and
The conqueror, "moe hail eak.l"
. His Count.
"How many children have you?"
asked the census taken.
The man addressed removed the
pipe from his mouth, scratched his
head, thought it over a moment, and
then replied:
"Five, four living and one mar
ried."
