FOOTBALL FINDS AND ACQUISITIONS These Are the Additions to the Caro lina Team, With Their Histories in Brief. With only three "C" men of last year back to work on this year's squad, Coach Neff had before him the job of finding suitable material with which to fill up the gaps in line and back field. This material gen erally comes from the scrubs of last season, the freshman class, or foot ball men from other colleges. All three of these sources of supply have been laid under tribute to furnish material for this year's 'varsity, the latter especially contributing largely to the personnel of the first eleven. It is needless here to discuss the scrubs of last season who seem to have made a place on the team that represents Carolina on the gridiron; for their work and ability is known to us all. This account has to do with the freshmen and men from other colleges who seem to be going strong for a job on the 'varsity. Passailaigue comes from the Cit adel, where lie made the first team for two years. He is a fullback of no mean ability, as his work thus far has clearly demonstrated. In the game against the College of Charles ton he went through the line time after time for substantial gains and carried the pigskin over one time for a touchdown. His brilliant defen sive work against Florida was one of the features of the game. vonKolnitz is-a former College of Charleston star, having held down a half back position on the Maroon and White team for two seasons. He has made good with a rush on the Carolina team. His long suit is running back punts, though he is far from a slouch when it comes to carrying the ball around the ends. Wrightson comes from Wofford, at which school football has been abolished by the authorities; there fore he has not had a chance to dis play his prowess on the gridiron be fore joining the bunch on Davis field. But judging from his perform ances on this and other groun'ds this season, his ability, though confined, must have been considerable. He, too, like most men from other col leges, is a candidate for a back field position. Oglesby is a freshman from Cow pens, but don't let this dliscourage or prejudice you. Hie's all right. In spite of the twvo above facts relating to him, he is showing up remark ab)ly wvell in practice and in games. One of the fastest men on the field, he will make the man go sonme who beats him out for right half. Perkcins hails from Darlington, where lie has p)layed on the fast Dar lington high school team for the past several seasons. Although his nose gave way under pressure in one of the earl:y. scrimmages, he has steck bravely to his post anel has gotten in every game thus far. Left half is where he works out. Dyrlington has furnished another son who seems to have the goods when it comes to playing left end, in the person of a freshman named Hill. He broke into the limelight in the game with Florida, relieving Woodrow in the second quarter and continuing in the game until the last five minutes of play. His tackling was sure and hard and he got away with one or two forward passes that aided materially in scoring Caro lina's touchdown. Wilds is another Darlingtonian. He is rather elongated, gawky and husky, and the position he covets is that of tackle. Going strong at the first of the season, he was inter rupted because of the necessity of arranging an exhibit for the State fair. This task required all his time up until it was fnished about two weeks since. From that time he has been back on the field, working hard to get in shape again. And the big, white-haired boy is rounding into some form, too. PEN PICTURES FROM BAB BALLADS G. A. W. "ff you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line, as a man of culture rare, You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant them everywhere; You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your complicated state of mind, The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter of a transcen dental kind." Y. S. Be eloquent in praise of the very dull old clays which have long since passed away, And convince 'em if you can, that the reign of good Queen Anne was culture's palmist day; Of course you will pooh-pooh what ever's fresh and new, and de clare it's crude and mean, And that art stopped short in the cultivated court of the Empress Josephine." With Felicitations to Profs. Davis and Easterling. "Both of the babes wvere strong and stout, And considering all things clever. Of that there is no manner of doubt No p)robable, possible shadowv of doubt No possible doubt wvhatever."

"And weazels at their slumbers They'll trepan: To get sun-beams from cucumbers They've a plan. As for fashion, they forswear it, So they say, And the circle-they will square it Some fine day; Then the little pigs they're teaching For to fly; And the niggers they'll be bleaching Bye and bye! Each newly joined aspirant To the clan Must repudiate the tyrant Known as Man; They mock at him and flout him, For they do not care about him, And they're 'going to do without him' If they can." E.

I'm very good at integral and differ ential calculas, I know the scientific names of beings animalculous." A LETTER. To the Editor of TI'Hi. GAMECOCK : I have read, with sympathetic and absorbing interest, of Miss Rion's wvondlerful plan "to segregate all In fidels in the WVest," and I have no dloubt the prop)osition is heartily ap p)rovedl by the successors of the late Mrs. Mary Bakei- Glover Patterson Eddy, by Jelly-Fish Russell, and other spiritual leaders of today; but, I fear that it is impracticable. Un fortunately the monstrous idea that "a man is no more responsible for his beliefs than he is for the color of his skin" is now wide-spread and fast gaining ground. Let me humbly suggest a very urgent and practicable reform. Its scope, to be sure, is far more re stricted, for Miss Rion would re form and regenerate the whole country, while my scheme only in cludes the students of the Univer sity, and the lucky citizens and col legians of Columbia who frequent our library as deadheads. In the three years I have studied at this University, I have been pained to find many wicked books in the library available for all students. It is said that Miss. Rion has the wickedest volumes under lock and key, but I could easily give you a list of Infidel and Pagan publications easily accessible at our library,-and would do so, but for the fact that a large number of fresh Freshmen and all of the hardened reprobates of the Law School would be calling for then morning, noon and night. Let Miss Rion segregate these wicked books. She might lock them up, or send them to the libraries of the Clariosopliic or Euphradian So cieties, where no one ever reads anything, or deposit them in the chrotogical library of the Presbyte rian Seminary-for surely the young Seminoles would not care for such pabulum I Not only the lax morals, but even the physical health of many of my fellow students has been seriously affected by these wicked books. It is not a theory but a condition that confronts us. I may state, in conclusion, on the authority of Eugene Field, that "Professor Huxley wondered for a long time why the atmosphere of the British Museum should be poisonous while other libraries were free from poison; a series of experiments con vinced him that the presence of poison in the atmosphere was due to the-number of profane books in the Iuseui."
