VOL. IV. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., DEC[4,ABER 9, 1910. No. 11. JUNIORS AND SENIORS PLAY IERCE GAME. NEITHER SIDE SCORES PLAYED OVER THIS AFTERNOON. Smith, Bradley, Monckton and Wright Star for Seniors-Monash Mooney and Jennings Did Good Work for Juniors. Last Saturday, on Davis field, was fought one of the fairest, fastest, fiercest football games ever seen in this section of tbe country. The jolly juniors met 'their enemies of their freshman year, and with that old feeling of animosity aroused, at tempted to punish the great team of the grave, grey-headed seniors. It was a battle royal, neither 'team having the advantage, and both determined to wipe the other out of existence. At first the odds were in favor of .the juniors, and there seemed little hope for the "old guard," but after a few minutes of play, warm thoughts of warmer draughts spurred the aged senior team to their old time ferocity, and then those who had 'trembled for them began their wild carousal in an abandon of joy. The game was clean with one or two exceptions, and exceedingly in teresting. For the juniors, Monash, Mooney and Jennings starred. For the seniors Ed Smith and Monckton, at 'ends, and Bradley and NWright, in the backfield, came in for their share of the glory. Tlhe interference of the seniors was beautiful and partly accounts for .their splendid showing. Although called promptly at 4 o'clock, .the game lasted until (lark. See-sawing up and down the field the contest was ever in doubt, and at one time it looked as if the jun iors would force the ball over for a touchdown, but the impregnable de fense of the seniors kept them from gaining. The seniors tried twice in the first part of the game for goals from the field, but were unsuccess ful. There was only onse thing to mar the afternoon, and that was the fre quency with which the "old guard" would call for "time," and the "chief surgeon." Whatever may have been the nature of the "chief surgeon's" remedy, it was always effective. We regret that space prevents either a detailed account or the line upl being given. The tie will b)e p)layed off this afternoon, and the game promises to be more interestling t,han the firs-t. Mr. Frank McLeod went on a wveek-end hunt downi in the wilder ness, near Bishopville. He returned Mondany night. BLOCK C'S AWARD. MANAGER AND CAPTAIN FOR NEXT YEAR ELECTED. Besides C's Monogram U. S. C. Is Awarded to Scrubs-Prospects for 1911 Season. The class football games will have been finished in a few days, and then we will bid football farewell till the opening of next session. The Varsity squad played its last game on Thanksgiving, and already the 1911 team has begun its plans. At a meeting of the Varsity squad, held this week in Flinn Hall, W. C. Whitn'er,.of Rock Hill, was elected captain of the team for the season of 1911. The season which has just closed was Whitner's first at Caro lina, but he was formerly quarter back on the team at Davidson Col lege. His being chosen captaii by the members of the squad goes to show his )opularity among the men. The athletic advisory board has selecte(l A. G. Hart, of Laurens, for the manager of the team. He was one of the assistant managers dur ing the )ast session. H-e will begin work on the 1911 schedule at once. The event more interesting to the Varsity men than almost any game of the season was the meeting of the advisory board, for the pirpose of giving the block C's. The follow ing men of the 1910 team were awarded the coveted prize: M. R. Mobley, L. A. Buie, J. 13. Rawls, Hoyt Watson, J. C. Black burn, U. G. DesPortes (captain), XW. C. Whitner, T1'. P. Stoney, J. C. Crawford, 1. A. Bethune, V. A. Metts, P. K. McNair and H. 11. Thomas, manager. The following men yere avarded the U. S. C. monograms: A. D. Willis, T. E. Mott, A. J. Knight, Ellison McKissick, P. WN. Woodrow, J. A. Mace, A. B. Stoney, E. HI. Chase, C. E. Sligh, Theodore Girardeau, J. M. Sadler, H. T. Boyd, Noble Dick, C. Kollock, R. 0. Purdy, W. C. McGowan and D. G. Perkins, assistant manager. The )rospects for a winning team next year are very bright. With the material on hand, together with the new men who may enter college next session, we can safely predict a successful season for the 1911 team. Made Assistant Postmaster.

DRAWS LAkGE, VARIED AND ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE. Tells of Pompeii, Its Culture, An cient Manners and Customs. Many Splendid Stereopticon Views Were Presented. Oin Thursday evening Prof. E. L. Green was again welcomed to the rostrum by many of his admirers. His audience was indeed a varied one, drawn from several national ities, all of whom were equally en thusiastc. Dr. Green's subject appealed to everyone imbued wilth the least spark of culture. Ie depicted from first hand knowledge the pecularities and wonders of this ancient city. le dwelt upon the customs and man ners of its earliest inhabitants, citing many interesting historical facts and happenings. He also introduced stereopticon pictures, showing the buildings of especial interest and usually mentioning some little in teresting story attached thereto. The views were all so clear and real that one might have easily been per suaded that he was in the cultured atmosphere of this ancient spot. It is a source of much regret to many that Dr. Green has been named for only one lecture of the series. Last year he delivered two; the sec ond was even more enthusiastically heard and drew a much larger audi ence than the first. Dr. Green en joys the peculiar distinction of be ing the only lecturer of the whole last year's series to have been pre (Continued on Page Three.) Gymnasium Dance.

The game was with out sensation, anl most of the time the ball see-sawed u) and down the field.
