HAD SNOW FIGHT WITH C. F. W. GIRLS Carolina Men Battled With Fairer Sex Last Saturday Afternoon C. C. Also Contest During Stay of Fleecy Flakes WVith the snow comes somewhat of a glee, and last Saturday after noon those passing the Columbia Theological Seminary from 4 o'clock until 4:45 saw a merry sight. The young men of the University of South Carolina met the fairer sex from "C. F. V." in a snow battle on the grounds of the Seminary for a brief three-quarters of an hour. The heavy downpour of snuw ceased-early in the afternoon. The C. F. V. girls, garbed in sweaters, toboggan caps, cloaks, and in other words well protected from the cold, advanced carefully on the field of battle and were soon fired upon by the men of Carolina. Blanchard, "Johnny-on-the-Spot," appeared on the scene and shot both armies with his camera. However, no one was wounded severely, and the battle proceeded. The girls made the Carolina men retreat to a place wlhere more snow could be found several times, and when the 45 minutes were up front of the seminary grounds had been well covered. It was a grand time, though, and a grand sight. Before the battle ceased, the number of spectators grew, but they dared not enter with in the walls. Altogether the students of the two colleges had one splendid a fternoon of fun, and no doubt they wish that it would snow again, and that Miss McClintock would again allow the waging of a battle. Quite a number also journeyed to Columbia College during the stay of the snow. It is alleged that the girls made some gallant Carolina youths beat a hasty retreat. How ever, this is a mere rumor. Carolina vs. Davidson On Tuesday night, the twenty third, the basket ball squad will cross swords with Davidson. Our team miade a splendid showving in the Newberry game and it is highly probable that we wvill defeat David son. Mr. Driver has been wvorking hard with the squad and they are in fine condition.

COLIN COVINGTON GIVEN MEDAL The Wade Hampton Chapter of Daughters Confederacy Held Ex ercises in Memory of Robert E. Lee. Subject for Next Year. Last night in chapel the Wade Hampton chapter of the )aughters of the Confederacy and the Univer sity held exercises in the University chapel in memory of Robert E. Lee. Each year the Daughters of the Confederacy offer a medal for an essay on some subject presented by them. The subject for this year was "The Work of the Freedmen's Bureau." A few days ago Colin Covington of Bennettsville was de clared winner of this essay, and last night he was presented with the medal. Professor Rucker, in a few im pressive remarks, presented the medal to Mr. Covington. This chapter is to be commended highly on the noble work they are doing to keep alive these subjects within the Southern university men. The sub ject for next year will be, "The Cause of the Secession." Retiring and Advancing As this is the last issue of the pres ent staff, You may read this issue well; For it may be the best you'll get this year, We do not know, we cannot tell. We hate to see the Bird change hands, For - the present staff has done its best; The Bird has improved under the care of these men, Many have been cheered by the printing of a jest. These officers have spent much time and thought, For the accomplishment of one great en'; To make their paper the best in the State, They have saved neither paper nor pen. But now they lay aside these duties To turn their attention to other things; 'We send with them our heartiest wvishes, And look for the number of the next Bird's wings. The new staff comes in with many amb)itions, WVith their heads chocked full of ideas and schemes; To make their first issue the best of the year, Perhaps they'll print some Fresh man's theme But whatsoever they undertake, Whether discussion of science or an argument of court; No matter what they decide to print, We pledge them our honest support.
