VOL. V. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., NOVEMBER 25, 1911. No. 9. WOODROW WILSON LEAGUE GROWS Prospects Bright for Future of Movement. GOVERNOR WILSON ASKED HERE Larger Colleges Taking Hold Rap. idly-College Men at Democratic Convention. The officers of the Woodrow Wil son League of College Men could not hope to see the movement have a better effect than the first week of its progress has shown, by statement of the corresponding secretary. The reports that are coming in are most encouraging and show that the thing is being grasped as the inaugurators here and at Virginia planned. Owing to the great distances from South Carolina of some of the clubs many that have formed have not been heard from as yet. The larger schools are taking hold with a zest-Columbia, Princeton, the College of the City of New York, University of Arkansas, Fargo College, North Dakota, Grin nell College, Iowa, William and Mary College, Drake University. Newberry College formed Tuesday night. Other schools of less dimen sions are on the list. Wilson Asked to Come Here. A letter has been addressed to Woodrow Wilson asking that he stop in Columbia as the guest of the Carolina club on his return trip to the North. Governor Wilson spoke before the Virginia club on Nov. i5, and it is hoped that he can give a like privilege of hearing him to the club at this university. It is a purpose of the league to solicit the opinions of prominent men on the prospects of Wilson for the presidency. A long letter from John Sharp Williams, in highest commendation, has already appeared in full in the public press. College Men at Convention. It seems highly probable that the energies of the league will be bent towvardl securing the presence at the Democratic national convention of college men, rep)resentatives of the league. The college colors and yells wvouldl figure and street paradecs would take place-the idea would be to make such dignified and appro priate demonstrations as would CAROLINA MEETS CITADEL BUNCH Annual Thanksgiving Game in Char leston Looked Forward to With Much Interest. SPONSORS. The sponsors for Carolina at the Thanksgiving game in Charleston will be: Miss Reaux Jones, Columbia. Miss Nan Walker, Columbia. Miss Rita Beard, Charlotte. Miss Raven Simkins, Edgefield. Miss Natalie Heyward, Colum bia. CHAPERON: Mrs. Wilie Jones, Columbia. On next Thursday afternoon Carolina will play her annual Thanksgiving game with the Citadel at Hampton Park in Charleston. This game is always looked forward to with much pleasure by Carolina men, as it is the great social event of the football season. Carolina has been working hard during the present week and will no doubt continue to do so until the game and the season have ended with a victory over the S. C. M. A. cadets. The Garnet and Black will be weakened to some extent by the loss of Passailaigue and Von Kol nitz from the line-up, these two stars being ineligible under the S. I. A. A. rules. The officials for the game have not been announced as yet, but no doubt men well versed in football tactics will be chosen. This game has added local color in the fact that "Dolph" Mobley, an old Carolina star, is assistant coach at the Citadel. Carolina Scrubs to Play Davidson Scrubs at Rock Hill. The manager of the football team is busy at work trying to arrange a game between Carolina scrubs and Davidson scrubs. This game will be played at Rock Hill on Thanks giving Day. This is an unusual thing to the scrub)s of Carolina. Each year they are p)romisedl certain trips,but alnmost invariab)ly the season ends with no suchl trip) given theml. They are now in good shape and no doubt wvill show the Davidson scrubs a ting or two with tile pigskin. DAVIDSON WINS EXCITING GAME Red and Black Made Ten Points While Gamecocks Fail to Score. Hard Fought Battle. Davidson defeated Carolina last Saturday afternoon in one of the hardest fought games of the season on Davis Field by a score of 10 to o. Both teams fought hard from the first blow of the w1histle until the last minute of play. Throughout the game "old hard luck" was very much in evidence against Carolina, as has been the case during the present season. When Von Kolnitz made his phe nomenal run through the wlhole Davidson team, including Booe, he was called back for going out of bounds about an inch. Twice dur ing the first half did the Garnet and Black have the ball in the very shadow of the Tarheels' goal-posts only to fail to score. It was thought by many that Passailaigue had the ball over the line and was dragged back, but not so in the eyes of the referee. After Booe's run at the beginning of the game Carolina settled down and clearly out-played her opponents during the first two quarters. David son, however, came back strong in the second half and the game ended. with both teams fighting hard. Passailaigue and Von Kolnitz did great work for Carolina, as did Dick and Whitner. For the Red and Black Pharr, Williford and Rich ardson showed up well by their steady work. Booe also did some spectacular work at the beginning of the game, but towards the end of the contest Carolina seemed to have his proud "angora." The line-up: Carolina. Davidson. Dick ..........
