CAROLINA REIGNS Garnet and Black Pi After Ten Yeai Down Thei Thursday at the fair grounds on the field set aside for such events, Carolina mixed matters with Clem son in one of the greatest gridiron games yet seen in Columbia. When the smoke of battle had cleared, the Gamecocks had registered 22 points to their opponents' 7. For four quarters the two teams fought doggedly to gain ground, Carolina relying on straight foot ball and Clemson on tricks. After the first few minutes of play it was easily seen that the Clemson squad was outclassed and could not with stand the giant assault of the gray jersied men who ripped up the line of Clemson's defense and swept around the end time and again for gains. of the Ca andl losing the downs.

After a scoreless first quarter Kangeter carriedl the ball over for Clemson on a fake buck for the first touchdown of the game. Billy HI-arth, who had been putt in at quarter, had the distinction of being the first Carolina man to cross Clemson's g-oal in ten years. With SUPREME OVER I ayed the Clemson Ti s the Gamecocks C r Ancient Rivals of t the ball near Clemson's goal line, the Tigers started a series of line bucking that carried the ball well out into the fieki. A play was sent crushing over right tackle, the run ner getting through the first line of defense and was well into the sec ondary defense. As big Passailaigue dived into him the ball bounded from his arms. Harth, playing in the back field, pounced on the leather sphere with the agility of a cat and eluding the purple jersied warriors was off for the first touch down of the game for Carolina. From then on the Gamecocks were too powerful for the Clemson squad to handle. Harth ran the team for the most part of the game, and his generalship was that of a vet eran, showing wonderful tact and judgment in his plays.

Some of the Stars. For the victors Harth was easily the most brilliant player in the game. Both his individual work and his running the team deserve3 ..the highest praise. Heyward sharec with him the honors of the assault. Passailaigue was a menace on at tack most of the time and was throughout a star on defense. The ends were there with the goods at all times, smashing forward passes as they were shot across the line. Stone, M1fills and the rest of the line played a great game, spilling play after play behind the line. Captain VonKolnitz was a tower of strength in the offensive department. Pas sailaigue and VonKolnitz both punted well. Ted Girardeau went through the game without a slip in passing and was a giant on defense.

What was perhaps the greatest student body meeting ever held in the chapel during all its hundred and six years, took place on Monday morning when the four hundred and eighty-two students of the Univer sity got together to celebrate the victory over Charleston. "Grease" Graydon was master of ceremonies and right well did he start the ball to rolling. eh member of the team made a short taik. that was greeted with such enthusl,-ic cheering that it seemed as if the 'roof would be lifted. Following these came various and sundry members of the student body, from "Toots" Ehrlich to "Short" 13ouchier, who told to the rioting assemblage what each thought of the coming game. The meeting lasted for something over two hours and \wound u) with a big parade up Main street and out to C. F. \V., where the students gave a varied form of entertainment, mingling snake danc ing, war (lancing and college songs and yells. Seldom has the student body got together for such a day of joyous celebration. h'le librarian again expresses the hope that more stlidents will seize this tim'e to post themselves better on the lalkan situation, and he rec ommends, for that )urpose. the fol lowing books and magazine articles: Miller-"The Balkans."

Political Science Quarterly "Turkey in Europe" (3 articles) ; "Independent," Oct. 17-"The Four Kingdoms;" Harl)er's Weekly, Oct. 2-"Baying the Turk;" Literary Digest, Oct. 12-"Blaze in the Bal kans." The current issues of almost all the magazines contain much valuable matter on this subject. A small map of the Balkans (the b)est available at p)resent) has been p)ostedl on the bulletin boardl. Better maps can be found in the "Inde pendent" of Oct 10 and in "H-arper's Weekly" of Oct. 12. A large map will, if possible, be obtained and dis played within the next few days.
