Number Unusally Large on Account of Ability of All Contestants for Team-Who Receive the Honor. The advisory board in its very im portant meeting on last Saturday conferred C's on fifteen men of the football squad. To win one of these trophies is to win one of the most envied honors in college. The 'var sity huskies who have won them have had them in their mind's eye through many long scrimmages, hardships and fierce struggles en dured to bring victory to their col lege. These are rewards for distin guished service rendered, and it is but proper that after so glorious a season so many men should receive them. Those who get them are: Fritz von Kolnitz, our gallant retiring captain, whose consistent starring has been invaluable in the season's success; Big John Mills, the Game cock's leader for 1913; Dan Hey ward, about the best pigskin toter in these parts; "Bub" Langston, one of the best gainers ever seen in ac tion ; Bill Harth, of Clemson game fame; Dutch Passailaigue, a gifted fullback; Girardeau, who can be de pended on to make sure passes and give the opposition trouble; Porter and Stoney, a pair of formidable guards; Brann, who revels in cutting down secondary defense; Sligh, hard. tackling end; Hill, whose tackles taken in steady closes are warranted to put any opponent hors de combat ; Avinger, fighting line man, and Big Dunn, a crafty veteran who stars anywhere. The Civic club met Thursday evening in the green room of Flinn hall. An interesting program was carried out, including several short talks by members of the club. Plans are being' perfected by the commit tee in charge for a smoker to be held in the near future at which time it is hoped that prominent bus iness and professional men of the city may be present and mlake short add(resses along the lines of the purp~loCs of the organization.

FRESH AND SOPH TEAMS MEET THIS AFTERNOON ! Odds Are Even on Annual Football Event. Juniors Meet Seniors Tuesday, and Final Championship Meet Will Be Staged Later in Week-Dope. Class teams have been miuxing things up among themselves for the past week trying to get in shape for the series of games to decide the winner of the cup. The freshman sophomore game will be pulled off this afternoon and the juniors and seniors will try to mop up with each other Tuesday. The date of the final game has not yet been set, but it will probably be played the latter part of next week. Much more interest is being shown this year than usual, and the squads are large and have a lot of that pro verbial pep and ginger. The games will all be hard fought and class spirit is running high over the out come. The freshman butich got on the job some forty strong last Friday, and since then Coach Dunn, assisted by Bristow, has been rounding them into form. The '16 men are a hefty crew and have high hopes of making things warm for the sophomores this afternoon. Among the most promising aspirants for the team are Hamilton, Coggeshall, Behling, An derson, McKeithan, Stover, Mitch ell, Templeton, Stoney, Padgett, Cri der and Kilgore. The sophomores, too, have been out in full force and with Dan Hey ward behind them with all his super abundant pep they have gotten out a hustling bunch. Dan has been helped in coaching by Hill, Langston, Per kins and Sligh, and with these hefties showing the green ones how, everything is up to the mark. Some of the best material for the team is found in Edmunds, \Vestmoreland, Templeton, Saye, Edwards, Roberts, Horton, Pierce, Moon, Dean, Scott and Altman. The juniors, headed by John Shu ler, an old Citadel star, are being whipped into shape by Dutch Pas sailaigue, Big Mills and( Jerry Por ter. They have a heavy line and a fast b)ack field and wvill push sonme b)ody for the cup. There are, among others, in their squad, Royall, Rod gers, Wrighlt, McLeod, Cudd, Dud icy, Elsey, Willi ford, Shuler, Hoff mlanl, Edens, Purdy, Carpenter, O'Neil and Pearcy, andc something is p)retty apt to happen whlen .they are IG MILLS ELECTED CAPTAIN GAMECOCKS Hefty Tackle of Garnet and Black Will Lead in 1913. Has Seen Three Years' Service on the 'Varsity and Will Make Good Field General. The 'varsity men of the Carolina football team, at a banquet Monday night, given by Mr. Harry Ed munds, of this city, an .alumnus of the university, elected John D. Mills of Laurens captain for the 1913 team. Mills has played on the 'var sity for the past three years, oper ating for a while at end, a while at fullback, but most of the time at tackle, where he has starred during the past season. At the latter position there are few in the game in this neck of the woods who have any goods on the next cap tain. He is six feet tall, weighs 180 pounds and combines an aggressive ness with this abundant avoirdupois which makes him a most formidable line man. He keeps the old pep cir culating through the team and hands out a line of talk during the scrim mages that sounds well from the side lines and inspires the confidence of his team mates. His three years of experience have taught him many of the tricks of the game and he will undoubtedly make good as a field general. turned loose on the seniors Tues lay. The seniors have held the cup since '09 and are making a desperate effort to hold it to the end. Fritz von Kolnitz and Ted Girardeau have been on the job as coaclhe and have no (loubt put some of their own abil ity into the team. It is reported by those who ought to know that I3ou chier and Dr. Cook are showing such form as to lead us to believe that the only reason they are not all-Southern stars is because they do not want the job. Other candidates for star (1om1 are Wilds, McTeer, Owens, Hill, Watts. Green, Hughes, Rollins, Bariett, Cork, Covington and Tlhomias. M\'essr-s.
