VoL. VI. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., NOVEMBER 9, 1912. No. 6. GAMECOCKS TACKLE ANCIENT ENEMIES Testy Tarheels Met This After noon at Chapel Hill. Passailaigue Out of Game and Von Kolnitz Injured, But Gamecocks Will Fight to Win-Line-up. After a short, snappy signal prac "tice Friday afternoon, just by way of putting the finishing touches on some of the pet plays of the 'varsity, the Gamecocks caught the 6:40 train for . Chapel Hill, N. C., where the University of North Carolina will be met on the gridiron this after noon. The jaunt across States was made in a leisurely fashion, the team not arriving at its destination until 12 :30 .this afternoon. The battle with the Tarheels is an aicross the:' h a, . u - e h.<". iCti c ap t!ring' thie b itl: jority of past. hey m1eet thi: n - c 'n wi'll- e the strongest ng nlacijAe whiclh hao ever repr sented the University of South Carolina, and the belief is pre valent on this campus that the North Carolinians will have to bestir them selves to stay in the running. However, the Gamecocks will be weakened by the absence of Dutch Passailaigue-, who has performed in brilliant fashion at full back all the season. Dutch is a tower of strength on the'defense, and he will be missed when .it comes to stemming the North Carolina attack. On account of an injury, Fritz vonKolnitz will not be at his best form, but it is ex pected that he will be able to stay in most of the game. Gamecock Line-up. Girardeau will, as usual, tend the pivotal position. Although light for a lineman, Ted has enough speed and fighting spirit to offset this de ficiency. He has been in every min ute of play this season, and in the last two games has played against six opponents. Not a .single burn pass has been registered against him. His work against the Tigers was of a high order. Stoney and Porter will tent the guards, with *Avinger ready :o be shoved in the breach if dither should be disabled. This pair of hefties is going good just now, and will make trouble for some North Carolina forwards.

Christie Benet, Dr. Mitchell and Ed gar Lawton Are Hosts at Pleas ant Affairs In honor of the victory over Clemson last week the football men were entertained Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings by Mr. Chris tie Benet, Dr. Mitchell and Mr. Ed gar Lawton respectively. The dinner given by Mr. Benet, former star and coach of the Caro lina eleven, was held in the banquet hall of the Ridgewood Club. The table was artistically decorated with flowers. Mr. Dan Heyward made the first speech of the evening and were dtcoiated in Caroila colors and place cards in the form of small footballs were used. There were no toasts or speeches, and the entire conversation centered on the game. Captain vonKolnitz's absence from both of these dinners was a matter of much regret to both hosts and guests. Mr. Lawton's dinner was given in the banquet hall of the Arcade build ing. Coach Edgerton headed the list of speakers, and, as at Ridge wood, each of the guests had some thing to say. Invitations have already been re ceived to a banquet to be given the football men on the evening of No vember 29th by Mr. E. V. Robert son. Telegrams From Alumni.

ALUMNUS ADDRESSES DEPARTNENT OF LAW Mr. M. A. Shuler Speaks on "Origin of Trust Estates." Lecture Delivered in LeConte Col lege Saturday Before Faculty and Students of Law Dept. Mr. M. A. Shuler, a graduate of the law class of 1912, who has estab lished himself at Kingstree, S. C., made an address before the law stu dents of the university last Satur lay morning in response to an invi tation extended by the faculty of the department of law. The subject of Mr. Shuler's address was "Ori gin and Development of Trust Estates." Mr. Shuler showed that the law of real property in South Carolina 'i. ........f1..... ...' lititl Henry VIII. This law was devolved from the custom of attaching to the sale of land a trust, or confidence, by which it was agreed that the holder of the land should use same for the benefit of the donor or some third person named by him. This practice came to be generally re garded as legal throughout England. The use of land was regarded as an interest wholly different from the legal estate and free from all the bt.. dens which attached to the hold ing at common law. After many years a statute was passed which aimed at the abolition of the legal estate and the beneficial interest known as the equitable es tate. However, the judges construed the law so that there still remained three ways of evading it while com plying with all its provisions. A court of equity was then established whose function it was to hear cases involving trust estates. Mr. Shuler made a classification of the different kinds of trust estates, tracing their origin to the early be ginning of English law and showing their modern development. "Great Scott!" WV. H-.

Scrubs have Trained All Season and Should Show Up Well-Probable Line-up-Porter is Strong. While the 'varsity takes on North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the scrubs battle this afternoon with Porter Military Academy at Charleston. This is the first game that a Caro lina scrub team has played - since 1908, when the Georgia Meds. de feated the local second string aggre gation by the score of 6 to o. After a four-year rest the bunch should come back strong and give the acad emy some little scrimmage. This Porter team is not to be 1:itIl7 i >t ' "1'13 t. i'll. year, under the coaching of our own Red Edgerton, the 'cademy had a great season, and there are some vet erans on the squad who may be ex pected to retain a knowledge of the tricks taught by Red. Now, these scrubs have furnished opposition each day this year for one of the strongest teams in these Southern States, and they have ab sorbed some of the playing style which makes the Gamecock first string formidable. Some Dope on the Line-up. LaBorde is a fixture at center and may be expected to show some btods against the military boys. He has fought Ted Girardeau all season, until Ted is about one of the best pivotal men in these parts. LaBorde was shoved into the College of Charleston game for a few minutes and acquitted himself well. Hampton may be relied on to tend one guard position and Stover and Martin will probably be the last two candidates in the race for the other. Owens will operate at one tackle, and big Sam should break up some thing against the Porter bunch. He has had good exp)erience in the class games of past years, and has been on the scrubs for the p)ast several weeks. McCleod and McTeer wvill probably alternate at the other tackle. Mace and Kollock afford a good p)air of, ends for the squad that takes (Continued on Page Four.)
