untversitu of S. C. VOL. VII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 4, 1913. No. 2 GAMECOCKS VS. VIRGINIA Lambeth Field in Charlottes ville Scene of Battle Today. Old Heads and New, Mixed Up on Team, All Well Prepared by Hard Practice. The Gamecock football team left Thursday afternoon for Charlottesville, where they play the University of Virginia on Lambeth field today. The nine teen men who accompanied Coach Edgerton and Manager Daven port to Virginia are: Stoney, English, Hampton, Martin, La Borde, Wehman, Brann, Hill, Sligh, Coggeshall, Harth, Langs ton, Heyward, Boulware, Bris tow, Dunn, McTeer, Perkins and Ervin. GAME OPENS SEASON This is the opening game of the season for Carolina and is against one of her hardest foes. Virginia has several veterans in her squad and is especially strong on line plunges. The Garnet and Black squad has seen hard prac tice during the last week and has put forth strenuous efforts to pre pare for the battle. NEW MATERIAL Carolina has the material on her varsity to put up a most creditable fight. Although a few new men are in the lineup, yet many of the "old heads" claim their accustomed places. Among the new men, English a n d Hampton have shown the ability to hold down the guards; Ervin and Porter can be counted on for stellar work in the backfield. Hill and Sligh together with Wehman and Brann will prove pretty steady obstacles in the line. Hey ward, Langston, Boulware, Bris tow and others will doubtless manoeuvre the backfield. GAMECOCK MEN CONFIDENT Carolina men have full confi dence in the players who repre sent them and know they will fight the fight to the last ditch: The loyalty they feel was ex pressed when the student body by a voluntary collection sent an extra player with the team. Much enthusiasm over the game has been shown by the Garnet and Black supporters. Matinee of Virginia-Carolina Game A matinee af the Carolina-Vir ginia game is to be given in the gymnasium this afternoon. Each play will be called. For instance, when Dan Heyward takes the ball about ninety five yards to the end of Lambeth field for a touch down, his wonderful side-steps and stiff-arms will be most gra phi-cally described by the oper ator. The only difference between hearing the matinee and seeing the game itself will be that it costs twenty-five cents to go to the gymnasium and about fifteen dollars to go to Virgrinia. CLASSES ELECT VARIOUS OFFICERS Burnett Stoney President of Senior Class. Heyward, Crow and Bird. Among the most important happenings on the campus dur ing the week were the elections of the various class officers. Since the officers of the Senior class are the officers of the student body, the Senior election is most important. The officers for the present year are: A. B. Stoney, president; Allan Paul, vice presi dent; L. S. Fuller, secretary; Marcus Boulware, treasurer; F. M. Rodgers, honor committee man; M. A. Wright, historian; W. V. Hoffman, class poet. The Junior class elected the following officers: Dan Heyward, president, H. 0. Hanna, vice president, C. E. Sligh, secretary, "Bub" Langston, treasurer, W. J.

Bird, pres ident, W. C. Mann, vice-presi dent. In consideration of the in clemency of the weather and the lack o f any raincoats among the "Freshies" further elections were postponed to a more favor able time. STATE CONVENTION OF Y. M. C. A.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF STUDENT BODY Action Taken in Regard to Haz ing. Committee Appointed To Investigate. Definite steps toward prevent ing a combination of hazing, which, according to rumors, has this session been unusually prev alent and severe, were taken by the student body at a meeting held in the chapel Monday morn ing. Acting on the current re ports that the majority of the more serious offenses were com mitted by former students of the university living in the city, the student body by a resolution au thorized the appointment of a committee of five to investigate the alleged rough treatment of freshmen by outsiders, re ports to be made to the stu dent body and to the faculty. Members of the committee are: B. A. Vandiver, M. A. Wright, E. U. Bradley, A. I. Green and L. S. Fuller. Developments at the meeting, however, showed that a number of upper classmen had been not less backward in manhandling new men than have former stu dents. After considerable discus sion in which the conduct of these members of the student body was severely censured, the honor committee was instructed to make a thorough investigation into the alleged severe hazing by students of the upper classes. At a later meeting this action was (Continued on Page 4.) ATTENDANCE AT C. C. AND C F. W. VERY GOOD The Sessions Opened Last Thursday Morning With Appropriate Exercises.
