THINGS A COLLEGE MAN SHOULD DECIDE. Coach Neff Urges Upright Living During College Days. Coach Neff spoke before a large crowd of college boys at Flinn Hall Wednesday evening on "What a College Man Should Decide." He compared life to a great game. "Some one has said that in every de cent American young man there is a fight on. To most of us the first realization of this contest comes at the beginning of our college course, since then, for the first time, we are away from the restraining influeices of family and home ties, and are given the opportunity to map out our conduct, unhampered by direct inter ference. For us as college students, there are at the beginning of this C fight or game, and throughout it, certain problems to be faced." -He then took up the subjects of loafing, drinking, gambling and the question of purity, showing the at tendant evils-how that true man 0 hood is lost and a hardening of the ; finer instincts and a breeding of self ishness, often to the extent of drying up that fairness of character so es sential to friendship, takes place. Especially did he urge that the body be kept pure. "Keep your body clean at first for the better use of it, and then, too, for the sake of being clean." Coach Neff is admired and re spected by all the boys, not only as coach of the football team, but above all as a Christian gentleman. CUPID ATTACKS THE FACULTY, TOO. Arrows Punch Professors Chamber layne and Potts. The little blind god certainly has been right on the job during the summer, two members of the faculty having fallen victims to his shafts. The marriage of Prof. Lewis Parke Chamberlayne came as a surprise to all, especially the members of his classes. By not a single word or act did the genial professor reveal the secret of his heart. Professor Chamberlayne was mar ried on June 27 to Miss Elizabeth Claiborne Mann at Grace Church, Petersburg, Va., Bishop Gibson per forming the ceremony. Professor and Mrs. Chamberlayne are at home to their friends at 832 Pickens street. Those who were intimately asso ciated with Prof. F. G. Potts wvere ap)prisedl of the fact, before he sailed for Europe, that he had dlesigns on some member of the fair sex. There was some speculation as to wvho the fortunate young woman was to be. We are authorized to announce that Professor Potts wvas married in Ber lin, Germany, to Miss Annabel John son of the Columbia City Schools. Senr1 a GAMEnOCK home.

If you want this Bird to crow like he meant it and wanted to drown the voice of a threshing machine, you have got to give him something to crow for. Sign those Athletic Associa tion cards and give us some big games and so some big vic tories. I HE GAMECOCK feels like flapping his wings and crowing loudly. For lie is the first to announce publicly A HEALTH TO CAROLINA. To be sung to the air of Burns's "Flow gently, sweet Afton." We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise \Vith loyal devotioi, remembering the days \Vhen proudly we sought thee, thy children to be: I-Iere's a health, Carolina, forever to thee! Since pilgrims of learning, we en tered thy walls, And found dearest comrades in thy classic halls, We've honored and loved thee as sons faithfully: IHere's a health, Carolina. forever to thee! Generations of sons have rejoiced to proclaim Thy watchword of service, thy beauty, and fame; For ages to come shall their rallying cry be: Lere's a health, Carolina, forever to thee! Fair shrine of high honor and truth, thou shalt still l3laze forth as a beacon, thy mission fulfill, And be crowned by all hearts in a new jubilee: H-ere's a healthI. Carolina, forever to thee! This problem has presented itself: WVhat is the standing of a b)aseb)all team befor'e the opening of the sea son ? Is it 1 .000 or .ooo? It would seem that w~hen no games are wvon, the average should be .000. But this argument has been p)resented. Before any games have b)een played, none won and none lost, the average, according to usual rule, should be o dlividedl by o, which is infinity'. But can a team have infinity for its aver age? What is correct? 3 GYM. DANCES PROVE POPULAR AND LUCRATIVE. Terpsichore has still an influence among Carolina men, and since the opening this spirit of the dance has been made use of for particularly good purposes. Three dances have been held in the gymnasium under the auspices of the Athletic Associa tion, the proceeds to go to defraying the expenses of the new football equipment. On the evenings of Sep tember 19, 21 and 26, a goodly mun ber of coulples gathered on the un surpassed gymnasium floor and whirled away the hours of the night. The dances proved an entire success and the Athletic Association has been much benefited. FLINN HALL WRITING ROOM.
