VOL. IV. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., NOVEMBER 23, 1910. No. 9. GAMECOCKS RALLY. NORTH CAROLINA ONLY ABLE TO WIN BY TWENTY THREE TO SIX. Knight Runs Seventy Yards for a Touchdown. While last Saturday's game with North Carolina was a defeat, yet we are all feeling good over the outcome of the game. The small score, with six of our regular Varsity men out of the game, shows that the team must have pulled together and taken a new stand for -the rest of the sea son. Outweighed by twenty pounds to the man, over half the team scrub men, it must have been the spirit of the team that did the trick. We are all glad that they are again working as a team. North Carolina worked forward pass and tackle out of tackle to good advantage, gaining well in the ear lier part of the game. In the first quarter, Porter, after a series of line plays and forward passes, went over our left tackle for a touchdown. In the second quarter North Carolina made two touchdowns. One was made by our man fumbling a punt, and their man recovering for a 25 yard run for a touchdown. The third touchdown was made in the second quarter by North Carolina blocking a punt behind our line and falling on the ball. They failed to kick goal. In the last quarter, our team took a decided brace, and it was only by incessant hammering that they forced our men back, yard by yard, until within our 10-yard line. 1ere our .team fought well, and at the end of the third down .the ball was Nott's on the goal line. In the last three minutes of the last quarter Knight interoepted a forward pass, found an open field be fore him, and made a spectacular run of 70 yards for a touchdown. The goal was easily kicked. The punting of Knight and Metts was very good, keeping ball in mid dle of field most of the timie. Alex ander tackled fiercely and saved our team some heavy losses. Stoney (Continued on Page Four.) No Lecture Tomorrow Night. On account of the fact that tomor row is Thanksgiving, and probably many students will be away, there will be no 'lecture in the cliapel. On the following Thursday, our Y, M. C. A. secretary, Mr. W. P. Mills, will lecture on "Student Life at Oxforrdl." 'Iehis talk will no dloub)t be very interesting to the studen-ts, as it depicts the life of our ,brothers across the sea. Mr. Mills is a speaker of personal charm, so we may expect an inter esting talk. Remember the date, GAMECOCKS CLASH WITH I Scrubs Play Porter's-Teams 4:20 Southern Train-Spe Men-Sponsors Today at 4:20 the scrubs and Var sity leave for Charleston to battle with Porter's and the Citadel. In the morning the scrubs will play against tihe Porter boys. The scrubs have a good team, and according to dope artists, the Porter kids are on the job with a light, fast team. A royal ba-ttle may be expected. That afternoon, at 3 o'clock, our old time rivals, the Citadel, will meet our Varsity on Hampton field. The dope given out by the Citadel sup porters is that they wvill rush us off our feet. That has been the talk for the last two years, and.still we have carried off the gaic each time. Bets are running even with big stakes. Special coaches will be attached Law Notes. The law is proverbially slow, and it took the law association two weeks to recover from the demorali zation of the State Fair. The asso ciation is once more on its feet, hov ever, and held a very interesting meeting last Wednesday night. We would like -to say something about the trial which took place on that evening, but certain circumstances, with which every law student is fa miliar, have worked a complete es toppel to our utterances on that subject, and it lieth not in our mouth to say anything about it. The election of officers of the as sociation, held last WNednesday night, resulted as follows: President, R. IH. Etheredge; vice president, J. J. Pringle Smith; clerk of court, P. H. Arrowsmith ; sheriff, Joseph Murray; secretary and treas uier, E. P. Guerard, Jr.; law editor of Gamecock, Gordon Miller. The out-going officers were: President, 'Wim. B. Marion ; vice president, John Pat Wise; clerk of court, L. A. Kirkland; sheriff, Frank A. McLeod; secretary and treasurer, Joseph Murray; law editor of Game cock, John 11. Hydrick. A civil case will be heard next Wednesday night, at which a mem her of the law faculty will preside. The criminal Moot Court, an or ganization composed of the members of -the junior class, who are taking criminal law, holds its second meet ing next Friday night. This is a new organization, designed to give p)ractice in the preparation and argu ment of appeals. There are no wit nesses or jury. The arguments are on points of criminal law app)eale(d from an imaginary lower Court. The suc cess of the first meeting of this Court gives reason to hope that it will be of great profit to those who 'take p)art in its exercises. 1ILITARY BOYS TOMORROW. Leave This Afternoon on the cial Coaches for Carolina Go With Tean. to the 4:20 Southern train, arriving in Charleston about 9:15 tonight. About 75 Carolina mncii will go down to make some noise on the side line. The team carries eight s)onsors. With thcsc fair maidens on the side lin'e in carriages decorated with Car olina pennants, the team cannot help but play ball. Are you going -to join that happy throng of 75 rooters? The rate is only $5.20 round trip. Surely every man in college can afford to "cough ill)" that amount to have a good trip, and to cheer the team on. Loosen up, pack your dress suit case and catch the 4:20 Southern train this afternoon. Flinn Hall Smoker. Invitations have been seit out to the alumni of the University to be present at a smoker to be given on December 2, at Flinn Hall. Ar rangements are being made to have some of the students to furnish music for the occasion. It is -the in tention of those who are making the arrangements to give every old stu dent who comes one of the best re ceptions he ever had at Carolina. There are, in Columbia alone, over two hundred alumni, and as many are expected .to be here from all over the State. A chance to renew many old acquaintances will be given the guests. Turkey. A rare fowl frequenting the haunts of "wheels of fortune," sel d1oim found in the vicinity of Colui bia; occasionally discovered and snatclhed from the roost of Prof. Moore's chicken roost. It is a native of North America, but the matron of mess halls have never succeeded ill domesticating it. Beware of ii itations, for aged roosters are often dished out as turkey. The genuine may be had by stealthily creeping up to the professors' fowl houses, no later than Tuesday night. Go early and avoid the rush. Better Singing. The movoement .to improve the singing at chapel services and at the Y. M. C. A. is already meeting vith encouraging success. The plan that is being followed is to meet on Sun dlay evenings after supper for a short singing practice. A rearrangement of seats at chapel has also been very helpful, enabling tihe men who can and will sing to be grouped so as to ilendler their singing more effective. More men are urged to attend( the p)ractice meetings, and to help wvith the singing. CAROLINA WINS DOUBLES CUP. AT SOUTH CAROLINA TENNIS MEET.

The Wofford team played .the back court game, wihile our men worked for the net consist ently, showing in this instance the suiperiority of the net game over the back court game.
