Porter pounded into pulp! Scrubs scored scandalously ! \Vho put the tar on Tarheels? Now for this little bout with the Citadel. Red l (gerton is the guy that put game in the Gamecocks. As a rat down at the 'cademy was heard to observe, "Gosh, but ain't them scrubs cantankerous ?" Had Dutch Passailaigue and Big John Mills been in the game North Carolina Voul( hav'e been with Colonel Roosevelt in the "licked to a frazzle" class. The man who doesn't seriously consider entering one of the prelim .inary contests for the four forensic meets in which the university will engage with other colleges is a clay eater. More than five hutnd red students of the Mississipp)i A. ando MX. college hav'e gone on a strike because the faculty has issued an order forbid (ding the boys from calling on the younig lady puplils a fter- study hours. Let us hope that our owvn faculty will not l)e so heatrtless. The rendlit ion of alma mater songs ait the chapel exercises several times a wveek until the students have be come familiar with them will (10 much to lend interest to an otherwise necessarily unattractive program. They may be madle an agency for the molding of college spirit wvhich is not to be slightlv reemert~t. The university is as concerned as are the citizens of Columbia in hav ing \Voodrow Wilson winter here. During our sojourn in this city we are a part of the community and hence as dwellers therein, desire to have President Wilson take his va cation in Columbia. It would be our pleasure to hear him speak on nu merous occasions and some of the more favored of our number might press the hand of a real live presi dent. Porter Hospitality. All the men who made the trip to Charleston with the scrub team last Saturday have spoken in the highest terms of the courtesies shown them by the student body of the Porter Academy. The team was quartered in the barracks and hence were thrown in touch with students and authorities of the institution. Each cadet and professor, say the mem bers of the squad, seemed to feel himself personally responsible for the pleasure of the visiting team and on every occasion offered his services as individual host. Our team has returned to this campus with heightened respect for the cadets and authorities of the Porter Military Academy. ''heir hospitality was spontaneous and shows that that institution, at least, has accepted, in this one respect, the spirit of the community in which it is situated. Our own student body may well take a lesson from the academy. Every man on this campus is a host to every visitor and should conduct himself as such. The Citadel Game. The city council of Charleston seems anxious to have the Game cocks meet the Citadel in that city during fleet week, having appropri ated $ioo to pay the expenses of the Carolina team in making the trip. Reports from the City by the Sea have it that the game has been ar ranged and will be played Thursday of fleet week, but Manager Fitz Simons denies the report. The Car olina-Citadel game would probably be one of the strongest drawing cards of the week, but if it would mean that we should have to forego the pleasure of seeing the Game cocks romp on the Bulldogs TIhanks giving day, the student body here wvould prefer the latter meet. Scrubs and Class Games. Announcement has already been madle b)y the coaches that in the game wvith Porter 'this afternoon many substitutes will ,be used most of these being men on the scrubs w~ho have not seen service in a 'varsity game the entire season and who have but scant p)rosp)ect of getting in the finial game of the year against the Citadel. The Porter game is scheduled as a regular 'var sity game andl hence, under the p)resenlt rules of the advisory board the men who are shoved into the fray will be ineligible for participa tion in the class meets. This will work a hardship on a large number of men who have worked on the scrubs all the season with no hope of making the first team but merely in order to train for the class games. The small honor of getting in the game with Porter is overbalanced by the fact that it will cause non-participation in the class championship series. It seems that the advisory board should make a special rule to govern this contest with the prep aggrega tion by which it shall not be ranked as a 'varsity game and the scrubs or squirts who play shall not be inelig ible on that score alone for the class series. A Letter. The editor of THE GAMECOCK is in receipt of the following commu iication : To the Editor of THE GAMECOCK Dear Sir: I wish to call two little matters to the attention of the au thorities through THE GAMECOCK. It is very seldom that we can obtain hot water in the gymnasium on a holiday. During our holidays of last week -in fact, during all our holidays the library has been closed. To the students remaining on the campus especially seniors and graduate stu dents-a holiday affords a splendid and rare opportunity for research work. But with the library closed students often find it difficult to employ their time usefully. We would suggest that one reason why the students are so averse to remaining on the campus during a holiday is that it lacks so much of its accustomed convenience and wel come. It seems to us that if the faculty desire us to remain in Co lumbia during a holiday; they should make the campus as inviting as pos sible. And the little things count.
