VOL. V. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., FEBRUARY 17, 1912. No. 17. TRIANGLE DEBATE MAY BE ARRANGED Three State Universities Will Pos sibly Compete. CUP TO BE GIVEN TO WINNER OF TWO Universities South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia Proposed as the Contestants. The debating council is making an effort to arrange a triangle de bate among the University of North Carolina, University of Virginia and University of South Carolina. This contest would continue three years, and the college which wins two best out of the three final de bates will receive the cup. It is indefinite as to whethei the University can get this debate for next year, but it is probable that the arrangements can be made. The University of Virginia is now en gaged in such a debate which ends with this year and the debating council there will, no doubt, be anxious to enter into a similar con tract with this University and the University of North Carolina. SSNOW BATTLE Last Monday afternoon marked one of the most enjoyable occasions of this collegiate year for Carolina. A number of the men challenged the Columbia College girls for a snow ball battle. An ideal place near the west wing of the college was selected for the conflict. A few of the girls, on account of a delicate touch of modesty, failed to join in the fun. Those, however, who did participate, were game. The snow had melted considerably, but there was enough left to make a few hundred nice, soft, juicy balls, which the boys very gently applied. in such a polite manner as to pro dluce tile most sport possible. Al though tile boys exceeded ill nunm ber, there were times wvhen the fel lows had to beat a hasty retreat. The girls were excellent marksmen with a snowv-ball, never failing to hlit you on tile cheek or on the side of the nose. Dr. Daniel's courtesy in allowing the battle was apnreiate1 CLASS TEAM BATTLES WILL BEGIN SOON Early Season Dope Shows That Series Will be Close and Excit ing-Managers and Captains. With the season for class baseball near at hand, the baseball enthusi asts of each class are looking for ward eagerly to the oncoming con ficts. There is no little speculation as to the outcome. The freshies, with a brilliant out look for a winning team, are wear ing "that smile that won't come off." Headed by R. C. Ogglesby, an old player with quite a "rep," and managed by "Bub" Langston, one of Carolina's football assets, the freshmen will no doubt put up a great fight for first place. The Sophomores are coming strong with G. G. Christopher cap tain and M. A. Wright, "the feath ery one" (ex-manager of Prof. T.'s chicken roost), manager. The pros pects are fine for a great team from tile Sophomores. "Dutch" Passai laigue will dope out tile "sky juice" to the fellows when they become thirsty from circling the diamond oil numerous home runs. The Juniors, last year's cham pions, have chosen the invincible John Mills to pilot them to victory. "Pat" Murphy, "the wide awake," will be oil the job as manager to see that the Juniors lose nothing in the division of the gate receipts. Led by the aggressive "Big" Mills, the Juniors will give the other teams a run for their money for first place. The Seniors have not yet elected their captain, but will doubtless do so in the next few days. With the aggregation of excellent players representing each class it is hard to predict what the outcome will be; however, it is safe to say that tile race will be close and excit ing and that tile winner can not be spotted until the last man is down. Baseball Has Not Started, Owing to Inclement Weather. On account of tile inclement weathler baseball hlas not gotten a start yet. A good numiber of men have signled up and it is possible that the crack of the bat on Davis field will be a familiar sound ere anlothIer wveek oes by.
