BASKET BALL TEAM
TO START PRACTICE
Most of Last Year's Varsity Back
On the Job. Schedule Is
Partly Arranged.
Basket ball practice will soon be
gin and will be held in gym every
afternoon. A few men have al
ready begun fingering the ball
and teams will be formed as soon
as possible. The outlook for this
phase of athletics is bright.
All of last year's varsity with
the exception of Capt. Rhea are
back and will be fighting for
their old places on the team.
Many new men are expected to
try out and among these there is
some mighty promising material.
Mr. Blackburn, athletic director,
will coach the team and has sev
eral original plans to put into
effect. During the year the
Freshmen and Sophomores will
contest for the championship
and the winning team is to face
a third of Juniors and Seniors.
In this way much interest will
be stimulated and the players
themselves benefitted. Another
court will be installed in the gym
to give room for two teams to
work at the same time.
The schedule forthe coming sea
son has been partially arranged.
Newberry will be here on Dec.
12. On Jan. 13th the team will
play the first of a series of five
games away from home, with
Wake Forest, the next A. and M.
or Trinity will be played, the
15th is scheduled for Trinity or
Virginia, the 16th for Washing
ton and Lee, the 17th for V.M.I.
The Citadel will probably be
played here Feb.8th; Wake For
est comes on Feb. 24th.
During the latter part of the
season another trip will be taken,
possibly into Georgia

when she should do a little dic
tating herself.
The entire State is watching
us this year to see if we can re
peat the severe drubbing admin
istered to Clemson last fall. In
my humble opinion, the only way
in the world that our team can
hope to win and at the same time
do itself justice, is to go in as a
varsity and not as a bunch of
scrubs.
Sincerely trusting that the fore
going will be received merely as
a suggestion and not as an at
tempt to dip into affairs which
do not concern him, I am yours
truly, A.' P.

Now gentlemen, I want you to
name the object the word that
I am going to mention suggests
first to your minds. LONG.

VIRGINIA DEFEATED
CAROLINA SATURDAY!
Battle Fought Hard But Lost by
Wide Margin. Practically
Every Man Used.
The Gamecocks hit something
that was just a little out of their
class Saturday. The Orange and
Gold aggregation is unusually
strong this season and romped
away with a 54-0 tally. Gooch
and Ray did fine woork for the
Virginia crew and for the Caro
lina bunch Coggeshall and Bristow
showed up well. Hewyard was
showing form till he was knock
ed out early in the second quarter.
He did not return till the fourth.
Carolina was fighting with
heavy odds against her. The
Virginia team averaging 175
pounds, outweighed the Game
cocks 20 pounds per man. Sev
eral men were playing their
initial game and the whole team
tackling the first game of the
season while it was the second
for Viginia.
In spite of all this, several
good plays were pulled off, Bris
tow got loose for 45 yards on one
run, Stoney who was opearating
at center for the first time play
ed a steady game and Runt
Coggeshall showed form in the
back field.
The team wasgreatly benefited
by Saturday's defeat. The men
know themselves better and
will fight harder to remedy
their defects. They probably
learned more football in that one
game that any coach could
hammer into their heads in six
months.
SOCIAL
INFORMAL DANCE.
On last Monday evening the
University German Club gave its
first ball of the season in the col
lege gymnasium. Dancing started
at nine o'clock and ended prompt
ly at one. There were about thir
ty-five couples on the floor be
sides a number of "stags."
About eleven thirty a delight-'
ful course supper was served on
tables tastily arranged in the
hall. Julius Bihari, of Arcade
fame, had charge of this feature
of the evening.
According to a decision reach
ed by the members of the club
last spring, none of the fancy~
dances, such as the one-step,
'Turkey Trot." etc., were par
ticipated in.
Comstock's Orchestra furnish-:
edi the music for the occasion.
Although the affair was strictly
'informal the young ladies were;
beautifully and most attractively
gowned. The affair was greatly~
enjoyed by all present and the
members of the club feel much'
