Special communica tions were addressed to known Woodrow Wilson men in colleges of standing in every State in the Union, from Washington to Flor ida, and from Maine to California. These picked men established clubs in their institutions and connected themselves with the league. The College Man's Candidate. The members of the clubs feel that "The Scholar in Politics" is the fittest man for the presidency and is the logical candidate to receive the support of college men as vell as of other patriotic right-thinking citizens. By articles in the collegiate and public press, by speeches before students and mass meetings of voters, by seeking and following instructions from the Wilson bu reau, and by the general weight of college sentiment in forming public opinion, the clubs mean to further Mr. Wilson's candidacy. The whole spirit of the movement may be seen in the adopted slogan: "We Want Wilson." Officers. The president of the league is Mr. William H.

(Continued on Page Three) CAROLINA MEETS OLD FOE TODAY Last Game of Season-Bitter Fight Expected-Gamecocks in Good Condition. The game between Carolina aid Davidson this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock on Davis Field will be the last of the season to be played in Columbia. The Garnet and Black and the Red and Black are rivals of old, and as each has had a very unsuc cessful season, this game will be fought out to the bitter end in an effort in some degree to redeem themselves from the stigma of de feat sustained in previous battles of the season. The dope seems to be in a great measure against Carolina, but critics will do well to take into considera tion that quality possessed by the Gamecocks. The whole student body will be on the side lines to cheer on the team and show them that although defeated in other games they are still their team and that they believe in them. The "Virginia style" of football will be used by both teams, as their respective coaches are for mier Virginia men. "Doc" McFadden will act as referee, Parker of North Carolina as umpire and Watkins of Virginia as field judge. The Garnet and Black Defeated by North Carolinians.

Law Faculty and Pres. Mitchell Approve and Predict Success. A meeting of the law men was held in the chapel on November 9th, and it was determined to raise $40, ooo to erect a separate law building to contain lecture rooms, offices for the professors, library and an audi torium. E. P. Gucerard called the meeting to order, and then asked H-. G. Goggans of the senior class to explain the need for a law build ing and the method of raising the necessary amount. Mr. Goggans made an earnest and convincing speech. -le showed that though at present the school is doing excellent work, yet on account of the inade (uate equipment the school is unable to accolimmodate all of the South Carolinians desirous of studying law, and hence a large number of our men are nowv forced to go North to get their legal education. He ended with a strong appeal to the students to give their entire stpport, both moral and financial, to the fur therance of this great work. C. T. Graydon of the junior class was called on next. Mr. Graydon, a fter indorsing wlhat Mr. Goggans had sai(, went on to show that vhile such a building would primarily benefit the law department. yet in directly the benefit to the University would bd -just as great. if not greater, for a large, well-equipped law school would a(ld to the power and dignity of our alma mater.
