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

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.

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

and to cheer the team on. Loosen

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.
Waring Brothers, by Good Team
Work, Overcome Wofford in the
Doubles--Clinton Wins Singles.
Last week, at Clinton, under the
auspices of the Presbyterian College
of S. C., was held the fifth annual
tournament of *t'he South Carolina
Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Seven of the colleges of the State
were represented. G. Wiiigatc and
Eliner S. WVaring represented us in
the doubles and W,\ingate Waring in
the singles. Roger feyward went
as a substitute, and Dr. Reed Smith
as coach. Dr. Smith w%as also con
mitteeman. The form showed by
our team was excellent, and we are
prouid of them.
In the donbles, Clinton beat New
berry, WofTord heat Furiiian, Clem
son beat Erskine. Then Wofford
beat Clinton and Carolina beat
Clemson. '1his put Carolina against
Wofford for the finals. The War
ing brothers were matched against
Askins and Ileach. At the start the
Wofford team showed up ell, and
copped the first two sets. I ere our
team took a brace and, with their
smashing net play, broke down the
WVofford team and won the next
three sets. 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. The sets were:
13-15, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-r. Time, 2
hours ald 45 minutes.
In the singles, Clinton wot from
Newberry, Wofford beat Clemson,
and Carolina downed Erskine. Tien
Clinton beat Wofford, and Carolina
beat Furman. In the finals, Darby
Fulton represented Clinton, and
Wiingate Waring Carolina. Fulton
used the back court, while Waring
played his smashing not game. The
strain, however, proved too miuch
for Waring and lie weakened at the
last. The game was nerve-racking
in the extreme. Waring took the
first tyo sets, weakened in the third
and lost, rallied in the fourth, but
too late, and was ov'erwhelmed in
the last. The score is: 6-8, 4-6, 6-r,
6-4, 6-o.
It is planned that the winners in
this tournament go to Atlanta next
sprinlg andl take p)art in the Southern
Intercollegiate tournament.

b)e heild at Wofford tihe second( week
in November, 191 1.
