Salutatory.
WVith this issue we take up the
wveals andl woes of getting out TFt
GA\~ M -cocKi. WVe look forwardl to
the wvork with a feeling of mlingledl
pleasure and mis'giving: pleasure at
the thought of guidling the Bird in
its flight, misgiv'ing at the thought
of possihble failure.
Ti G AM i.:oci is the organ of
the student body, in sp)irit at least.
and we will earnestly endeavor to
make it express the sentiments of
the student hody1) at large. 'We wvill
frankly criticise or pr*aise atny insti
tuitioni or custom as it applears to be
the sentiment of the student body.
None of the edlitorials wil be writ
ten in the spirit of dissatisfied fault
finding and they will show only a
wish to co-operate with those in au
thority to raise the standard of the
University and to effect such im
provements or reforms as are
brought to our attention.
Appreciation.
The University is deeply indebted
to those men who were instrumental
in pulling off the Southern contest
so successfully. The theatre was
decorated vell and the rostrum was
arranged with taste and care. Every
particular in the arrangement of the
whole contest had been made in a
fashion worthy of the occasion. Its
success is very largely due to the
hard work of Mr. Broadus Mitchell,
Mr. James Allan, Mr. J3en Sawyer
an the assistant marshals.
The various committees on the
All-Southern dance are also due the
thanks of the student body. They
worked hard and spared neither
time nor trouble in preparation. By
their industry and originality they
were able to show Carolina to her
visitors in the best possible light. To
Billy 1-larth, more than to any one
other man, is due the effectiveness of
decoration. I-Ie worked incessantly
for three afternoons to rig up the
novel electric display that lent so
much to the occasion.
TEIE GAMECOCK wishes to ex
press the deep appreciation of the en
tire student body to every man wblo
in any way helped to make the dance
and the contest the signal successes
they were.
Our Baseball Team.
The baseball team closed Thurs
day a very successful season. It is
true that we won seven games and
eight went the wvrong way, yet, in
regular intercollegiate games we
made 88 credited scores to our op
ponlents' 49. We got 139 hits to our
opponents' i i1 , and on the games
exclusive of those on the trip, for
which statistics are not at hand,
Made only 21 errors, while our op
ponents are chalked up with 32.
'I'le Davidson game would have
nade us break even had not the hour
glass run out just at the wrong mo
ment, and, by the way things were
going Tuesday afternoon We would
pNrob)alyll haVe had t w(. to the good
if l''athier Time had iiot p)assedl by
when he (lid.
M anager McDlonald hanldledl his
team well and had an excellent
schiedutle. Few~ managers stage as
many as ten collegiate and six prac
tice gamnes on the home diamond.
The team has wvorked steadlily andl
wvell. Regularity at practice andl
earnestness of work have character
ized it through the wvhole season and
are resp)onsib)le in a large measure
for its success. vonKolnitz, Metts,
Owen, WVatts, McM illan and Rudi
sill are the stars of this season wvho
wvill not be back next year. To the
heady wvork of these fellows is large
Iv due1 thie ighl battinga n(l fielding
average of the season. We cannot
speak of stars without mentioning
all the others of the regular varsity.
Shuler's work at third has been high
class all the way through, Edens at
second has shown the goods and
Perritt and Adams have twirled
well.
Coach Driver must not be denied
his share of the team's honor. To
his coaching is due the excellent
team work as well as the high aver
age of individual playing. We re
gret that Mr. Driver will not be
back at the University next year. It
will be very hard to find another
man as well fitted for the work and
as universally popular.
The College Cafe.
The College Cafe was opened up
last fall in such a way that it could
have been a great service and con
venience to men on the campus. It
was a good idea to have some place
where fellows, too late for meals;
could run in and snatch a hasty
lunch to stay him over till next meal
time. But the idea has not worked
out well and the cafe, after chang
ing hands several times, has now
become a veritable nuisance. The
larder, under the present manage
ment, is always scantily provisioned,
the men who work in the cafe are at
times loud and noisy. and the tin
pleasant fumes always associated
with a restaurant, permeate the en
tire lower floor of Flinn Hall.
We hope that another year will
either see the College Cafe greatly
improved and run in a more scien
tific way with the door into Flinn
Hall securely bolted or will remem
ber it as an experiment that was
tried and failed and is a thing of
the past.
F. William Cappelmann Writes "The
Gamecock."
To the Editor of TuE GAMECOCK.
Allow me a few lines of your
space to let you know of my pleasure
at seeing the Civic Club represdnted
at the recent Inter-collegiate Civic
League in New York by Messrs.
Royall and Smith. It was good to
see South Carolina participating in
this phase of college work. I had
the duty of representative of the
arvard 1eleration of Political
Clubs andl derived benefits which I
wvish many others could have shared.
Let me mention as features to my
mind of the convention the masterly
direction of the whole activ'ity by
Professor E. M. Sait of Columbia
Univecrsity and the high level of pub
lic men securedl to address the (dee
gates at the dinner in the H-olland
IHouse, Newv York. I believe the
speeches ''President Nicholas Mur
ray Butle. of Columbia University
and of the H-on. Frank Moss,
Assistant District, Attorney, will
long be remlemb)eredl by the conven
tion.
In Washington it wvas quite an
experience for OnC dla for our group
of college men to shake hands with
and have short talks from President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan, Ambassa
dor Bryce, Chief Justice White, Sen
ators O'Gorman and Gore, Repre
sentatives Lenroot of Wisconsin
and Victor Murdock of Kansas. To
our regret Mr. Underwood, Senator
Ioot and Senator LaFollette were
very busy that day in caucus and
committee.
The whole two days vibrated with
the spirit of what college men, un
dergraduates and alumni, can do in
the perfection of our democratic
government, and I feel sure that all
who attended received an inspiration
that will be of long service to them.
Very truly,
F. V. M. Cappelmann,
Harvard Law School.
