DEDICATED TO THE CLASS OF 1911 VOL. IV. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., JUNE 3, 1911. No. 29. bhE1N1UjKb VNEXSUt THEIR OLD PROFS. Sensational Game of Ball Tuesday. Having Finished With Their Last Exams, Seniors Make Try at Vengeance. About the biggest event of com mencement week will be pulled off .Tuesday afternoon when, at 4:30 sharp, Prof. Patterson Wardlaw will take his post behind the hurling mound, indicator in hand, and call "play ball." In other words, a real game of baseball will be played be tween the graduates of 1911 and cer tain old-time stars of our distin guished faculty. Manager "Rooster" Heyward, of the seniors, handed the following nam'les to The Gamecock: Furse, If.; Rainisford, 31).; Ross, ss.; Bowman, 2b. (capt.); Simpson, rf.; Wyche, lb.; Heyward, cf.; Wright, c.; Bradley, Hoey and Buie, pitchers. Each of the three named twirlers will work for three rounds, "Scout" Bradley probably being first choice. It is possible that Cyril G. Wyche, doped to play first for the class of 1911, will be ruled out at the last minute. In this event, it is not known who will hold (own the initial bag. Captain Bowman, at the keystone position, will direct the seni-ors' defense, while Ross and Furge will run the signals when their team is at- bat. Rainsford, at the bat corner, is a famous man in baseball annals, having been with the Detroit Tigers, and is distin guished for having found Ty Cobb. This is a powerful aggregation and great things are expected of them. The reporter found some difficulty in the other camp in obtaining re liable information, as most of the faculty stars seem to be dark horses and- some were rather stingy with the dope. It has been ascertained, however, that they will line up as follows: Carson, 2b.; Easterling, cf.; Davis, lb.; Powell, ss.; Holmes, lf.; Smith, 3b.; McCutchcon, rf.; Baker, c.; Coleman, p. Resides these E. Marion Rucker, of the law school, will be on the bench in case of injury or indisposition of any regu lar player. Oscar L. Keith, head of the department of modern languages, has signed tip to act as pinch hitter, it being stipulated in the contract that lie shall be allowed to use a tennis racket. Several m-embers of the faculty club have had brilliant careers in the big leagues, and if their identities can be dleternminedl they will be dec barred froii participation. In an intrerview with the reporter this week M. Goode Holmes stated posi 'tively that he had iiever received p)e (Continued on Pame Four.)

Lyles William Campbell McGowan There is a belief current through out the land which has it that a boy, becausoe he is male, can never expe rience, to any great extent, the emo tions of sorrow or regret. This is a mistaken idea. As we approach the (lay when the "grand old men" of the class of '11 shall go from this campus, never to return as students, those of us who are left realize that we have entertain-ed angels un awares and bid them farewell with feelings of the sincerest regret. And well may we regret their leaving. During their stay on this campus, they identified themselves with all the various college activities and have given their support to all that is best in college life. A truly cosmopolitan class-composed of poets, orators, writers, football and baseball stars, brilliant students, Y. M. C. A. "sharks" and lady killers. Their leaving shall take from us many of their little scenes of campus life which, to a great extent, relireve the monotony of existence.

Ross and "Moth ball" Wright vie with each other in spitting at Ben Tillman Rainsford's shoe without actually hitting the object in question. The little gath ,erings around the marshal's office shall lack the vivifier of "Scout" Bradley's continual and monotonous laughter, and his unprovoked, "W7ell, thank yer." Men can sleep in peace for Boozer Rawls will no longer hold forth. The quizzical smile and ambiguous stride of E. Nebraska Carns will be transferred to the hills of Lancaster. These scenes now are but trivial things, yet in the coming years, when the "old grad." shall see them re-enacted in memory, he may say in the words of another: "Still o'er these scenes my memory wakes, And broods with niiser care; Time but the impression dleeper makes, As streams their channels deeper wear."
