SCOLARSHIPS TO BE AWARDED EACH YEAR Proves Friend of Carolina and of Education by Unsolicited Contribution. The founding of two scholarships in the University by Mr. William S. Reamer, former mayor of this city, has come as a follow-up of his sane executive administration. The following letter from Ex Mayor Reamer to President Mitch ell, dated October 10, explains itself: "My Dear Sir: Realizing how hard it is for many young mein to get an education, and appreciating the great beneit of such, it is my de sire to assist one or more in their efforts, and to this end I will con tribute yearly the interest on, say $5,000.00, amounting to about $300-00. "This sum is to be paid as a schol arship to one or more male students vho, by vote of the faculty, shall be deemed most worthy of help and in actual need of assistance to pursue the course. The class standing shall not be the sole requisite, but his gen eral character and ability, his desire to learn and his actual need shall also be considered in making the award. This gift is to be made annually and is to be known as the \Villiam S. Reamer Scholarship. "I f this offer meets with your ap proval I stand ready to put it into effect at once.

Today Carolina meets one of lier old-time rivals, the College of Char leston. In former years the Garnet and Black has trodden over the Ma roon and Vhite with regularity. This year the contest promises to hold as much sp)ice as ever, especial ly so for the game will be played in Charleston for the first time in a good whlile. The line-up of the University teany will be almost the same as in the Georgia game, with the probable exception that vonKolnitz and Pas sailaigue will he on the job. 'he following clipping from the News and Courier tells something of the strength of the College eleven: "Looming large on the football calen(lar of the month is the College Carolina scrap, scheduled for Sat urday. For the first time in the his tory of the gridiron sport, the Uili versity eleven journeys to Charles ton to meet the College team. ''lh local men have played Carolina oi Davis Field, in Columbia, for sev eral years, always losing by a narrow margin. With conditions reversed this year, the College is also hoping to reverse forier scores. In 1909 Carolina won, 17 to It. L,ast year the Gamecocks re)eate(l, with a score of 8 to zero. Carolina in turn has lost but one football game to a local college, when the Citadel trimmed Coach Neff's team by a sii gle touch-down last Novemb'er. "With the game but five a's away Edgerton is working hard to get his charges into to) form. With Preg nall, Miller an(d Middleton, of last year's eleven on hand, there is but one hole in the back field. Dean, f Gaud's School, effectively )ltgs this. Heyward and Mi(dletonl are a pair of en(s that are fast develol) ing. At tackle, Chamberlain should be as good as anything in the State, barring a proclivity to get hurt. His drop kicking and kicking off are valuable assets to the Maroon. For the other positions, Aberniat hy, to gether wvith a bunch of newer men, are on hand daily. Edgerton will neced all of his resourcefulness to bring this team upl to the 1910 stand ardl, the most noticeable wvestkness being lack of forwards. Hlowever. the team that faces the (Garnet and Black on Saturday will be brimmiing ( Continued o n Pagre TIhreg'.) METHODIST RECEPTION NONE BEHIND THE REST Carolina Men Respond with Vivacity to Dr. Watson's Invitation to Meet Young Ladies. There is no doubt about it, Dr. \Watson knew what he was talking abiout last Monday morning in chapel when lie said: "\We guarantee a good time to each and every man that at tends." [hose who were present When the above-quoted words were spoken will recall that they related to the reception given by the Washing ton Street Methodist church to the Methodist students of all the colleges in the city on Friday night of this week. The ladies from both female col leges were there-there in every sense of the word-there by a large majority. The Carolina boys were also present in great numbers. (It has been hinted that the boys atten(d these recept ions, regardless of church affiliations.) Suffice it to say that the Methodist church may well he proud of the quantity if not the quality of its Carolina constituency, if the number of st udents present oi this occasion can be taken as a coi rect estimate of the members of this dellol ni nation. A reception coimittee consisting of about ten young ladies and a few "6older heads" contributed much to dispel the formality which is usually at tendant on such occasions. OPENING GERMAN BRILLIANT AFFAIR. Quite brilliant was the opening dance given Tuesday night on the gynmasium floor by the University German Club. The organization worked hard and earnestly to make the affair a success, and that their efforts were of avail is shown by the enthusiasm among all present. It was feaIred at first that the foot ball lienl could not attend, owing to tile operation of pledges requiring retirelleit it I I o'clock. 3ut Coach Neff consented that the gridiron atli letes participate until midinight. Mtisic was furnished acceptably and ill superior style by the Columbia Orchestra. Mviany ladies froml oum of-town attended in add(it ion to the usual set of Cohumbians. D)ancing conitinued until I :3, ith an inter mission of 30 minutes for the serv ing of light refreshments. The af fair was an entire success ill every resp)ect, and all are now looking for ward to the app~roaching Christmas (Ian1ce. WAUCHOPE MENTIONED FOR PRESIDENCY Well Known Carolina Pro fessor ALUMNUS OF THE OLD VIRGINIA SCHOOL May Succeed Dr. Denny as President of Washington and Lee University. No little interest and no little pride as well has been kiidled on the Carolina campus )y the appearance inl the R ichmlon(l Times-Dis)atch in the last few (lays of an editorial mentioning for the vacant preside. cy of \Vashingtoii an( Lee Univer sity. Dr. George Arstrong Wau chope, now at the head of the de partment of English at the Univer sity of South Carolina and an alum nus of three (egrees of the Lexing ton college. \Vhile it is everywhere apparent inl the student body that no Caro liiia man wtould countenance without a light Dr. \Vauchope's acceptance of the Virginia presidency were it of fered, still there is rife on the cam pUs a spirit of just pride, self-con gratulation at the honor which, by his works in the educational world, Dr. \W'auchope fully merits if (oes anyone. The editorial from the Times Dispatch follows: "Who is to succeed Dr. Denny as president of Washingtoii and Lee university ? That is the momentous question, the (lecisioni of which is inl the hands of the trustees of the in stitution. "Other things being equal, an alumnus of the institution should be chosen for its headship. Such im one appreciates the tra(litions, the i(leals, the sentiment of tie place, an( is more likely to govern sym pathetically. This would be especially true in the case of George Arm strong \Vauchope, who receiv(ed suc cessively, the (legrees of bachelor ,f arts, master of arts al (loctor of p)hilosophy from the fine old1 inistitu tion at L.exington. HeI rc is a mani who w.ould make a splendidl college executive, a man of the necessary b)readlth of understanding and line6 ness of sirit.
