Win &aettort# VOL. IV. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C.. DECEMBER 3. 1910 Tn SOLDIER BOYS DEFEAT THE GAMECOCKS. WIN TO THE TUNE OF FIVE TO NOTHING. Citadel Backfield Starred-Metts and Stoney Did Good Work for Car olina. Last Thursday, for the first time in the history of football at Caro lina, we suffered defeat at the hands of the Citadel warriors. From the blowing of the whistle and kick of the pigskin oval, the Blue and White rushed their plays in such rapid suc cession that Carolina was perfectly bewildered. After a few minutes of play, by a series of forward passes, they carried the ball over our goal line for the only touch down of the game. After this, our team realized what they were up against, and put up an cxcellent fight, but too late, the five points of the cadets' touchdown being the only points made during the game. The game was a very good one, and at times spectacular, the punit ing of Metts for Carolina being a feature. Several times his footwork drove the ball from within the danger zone, while Stoney's running back of punts was beautiful. Black burn, at end, also did brilliant work. Our whole team played well, ex cept for one or two costly fumbles. but evidently weile overconfident. After the touchdown was made the men braced up and showed better form than in any game since Fair week. During the last quarter they seriously threatened Citadel's goal by their repeated rushes, but time was called before the desired touch down could be made. For the Citadel, the major portion of the credit goes to their backs, whose beautiful end runs and passes turned the trick ior their team. They were not able to gain through our line, and their greatest gains were around the ends and on forward passes. The attendance was not what it should have been, but Carolina was excellently supported, both by stu dents who went down for the game, and by our numerous friends in the City by the Sea.

Futlly 150 Old Carolina men were present anid minigled with members of the faculty and proiminett stu dents of tile University. The glee clib was present al rendered some excellent selections, singing songs dear to the heart of every loyal Carolinian. Tight re freshients were served and cigars passed around. It is said that a mellow cigar brings forth past mem ories, aud the saying did not fail this time, for many good tales of old college (lays passed the rounds anl received their full quota of applause. The object of this smoker vas to bring the alumnii in closer contact with their alma mlater, and it cer tainlly accompIlished its purpose, for the menCi whlo attend(edl tile smioker last night dlepartedl to their various hlomes withl a better idea of the work that is donle at the University, and we hope with tihe purp~Iose of aiding us in every way possib)le. The smoker was a dlecidled suc oess, and we -trust that many more like it will be held in the years to come. DR. JOYNES MAKES WORTHY DONAlION. "FOR SERVICE, COMFORT, PLEASURE OF THE WOMEN TEACHERS." To Be a Memorial of His Long Con nection With Winthrop College, and of His Love for Its Valuable Work. On Thanksgiving day Dr. Joynes identified himself forever with Win throp College by the valuable dona tion of property to that institution. Donations are significant of pros perity; it shows evidence that the college .is fulfilling its )url)ose, and that in(lividuals as vell as citizen ship of the State are eager for the work of this influential and -invalu able institution to continue and to progress. Dr. Joynes' gift consisted of a lot 200X90 feet, provided that it shall be used for unofficial purl)oses. le wishes .the building, to be erected, "to be dedicated to the service, comn fort, recreation and pleasure of our women teachers, .the pupils and alumnae of Winthrop College. He does not prescribe, but sug gests that it shall not be used en tirely for scholastic purposes. That it be rather a social center for the young ladies, much as Flinn flall is to the University. le suggests, and wisely, too, that it be used: 1. As home for Y. N. C. A. 2. Also for Society of Alumnae and for visiting alumnae. 3. Also for women teachers out side college. 4. Also, probably for one or more literary societies and for other sim ilar uses, more or less constant or occasional. This expresses wlhat, in his opin ion, is one of .the needs of Winthrop College, and by these suggestions hopes to carry the ideal purl)ose. In his letter he cexplicitly makes this provision, that unless $5,000 be prescribed in the next five years, for the purp)ose of erecting a building, the property shall revert to his (Continued on Page Tirce.) Knight All Right. Mr. A. J. Knight, left halfback for Carolina, who vas injured severely, at first thought seriously, in the Car olina-Citadel game on Thanksgiv ing, is back on the campus soundl andl well, with the excep)tion of a "blIack eye" resulting from a kick. After his injury in the second quarter he was removed to Roper Hospital, wvhere he remained for several (lays, for fear that complica 'tions might arise. Kight played in only two Var sity g t~ies this year, but as he will lbe b)ac he looks good for Varsi,ty timber .\xt year. SECRETARY MILLS LECTURES IN CHAPEL. DESCRIBED AND EXPLAINED VERY VIVIDLY THE "STU DENT LIFE AT OXFORD." Having Resided There for Three Years, Our Secretary Made His Address More Attractive by Per sonal Experiences. The third of the lectures in the extension course was heard Thurs (lay iight in chapel. Mr. W. P. Mills, stulent secretary, lectured on "Studcnt Life at Ox ford." lie, after three years' resi (ence there, la( the advantage of (leliveriing his a(ress first hand, of picturing .the situations as they actually appeared, and then by citing instances of personal experience. He touched upon the various courses offered an( methods of pur suit. He (lescribled, at length, the athletic life, it, as cotrasted with ours. He showed how this great institution fulfills its purpose in I)ringing together thinking men of our nations, in training men for national affairs. Here one may learn not merely the customs of the English, but to some extent vith different nations' repiresentatives. This knowledge is then scatteredl over lands, its inluence spent, and seems, finally by the influence, to )ecole inculcated into a people. I1.is lecture was atten(le(d with en thusiasm, and all wlho heard it con si(ler their time well spetlt. Mr. Mills is a splendid lecturer, anl this is only one of the many ex cellent ways by wvhich he is aiding the University. Citadel-Carolina Hop. The Citalel boys did themselves prou( wlhen, on Thanksgiviiig night, they -ten(lered to the Carolina men a hop in the German Artillery I Hall. For the occasion the hall was (ec orated with the Citadel colors, blue and white, alternating with the gar net and black of Carolina, making in all a beautiful color effect. Wick man's orchestra presi(ledl and ren (lered stirring music. About forty couples were )resent, including the fairest of Charleston, and the eight Carolina spoisors, anl because of the great number of stags, general dancing wvas the order of the even ing. At three o'clock the Carolina men got together andl gav'e nine stirring 'rahis for the Citadel, which were answvered in full volume. As the last strains of "Home, Swveet Home" soundled throughout the hall all dle p)arted, some for their homes and some .to catch trains, thus ending the hest hop of the year.
