C., October 25, 1913 Smoke was showing Crowthei his knife when he remarked, "She's a cutter, ain't she?" "Race Horse" was getting his chapel seat; Miss Fickling hand ed him a slip marked "26 C." The "horse" handed her a quar ter and a nickle, asking for four cents change. The Clemson Game There is a feeling of optimism pervading the entire campus in regard to the Clemson game. We all know that we have a strong team and we all know that team is going to fight with all its might to win the game which this year means more than ever. The line is strong, with good ends, good tacklers, good guards and centers. The backfield loses Fritz and Dutch, but in their places are men who will do their durndest to fill the holes and who will come mighty near doing it: The whole team is strong and is eager for the fight to he on. Carolina spirit is strong this year and even if Clemson does outnumber us nearly two to one, there is more pep and spirit be hind our team than two thous and Clemsonites could ever have. I)on't you see that with a crack ing good team and more pep than we knowv what to do with we have just simply got to get awvay Thur'sday? If there is anyone sc tessimistic as to take a dark view of things he ought to get into some of these yelling prac tices ttat are flying around and let Father Grease instill into hinm some of that old time pep t11ll he can go out to that fair next week with no other conviction thar that we are just going to mop ul: with that Tiger Wrong Impression The - Gamecock has been requested to correct an erroneous impression that has arisen on the campus, viz., that the cops sta tioned on th'e football field have no authority over college men. The officers of the law are sta tioned there for two reasons. First, to keep men off the field, and second, to preserve order, by force if it should be necessary. The management does not antici pate any trouble from students or outsiders, but feels that it should take precautions. The brass buttons lose none of their authority when they come to deal with students and would do their duty if they were called upon. Students should bear this in mind and not show them any disrespect, as has. been done at the last two 'games. To do so might bring about an unpleasant situation. Secret Practice Coach Edgerton has decided to hold secret practice every after noon from now until after the: Clemson game. Secret practice means that there is to be no one on the field except the men in uniform, the coaches and the managers. Of course there are a few to whom the coach gives special permission to remain in side the gates, but eicpt these every man should acquiesce to his desires and stay off the field. There are some who come out to watch practice not knowing that secret practice is being held and are asked by the coaches or man agers to leave. Some of these men are so thoughtless as to be come offended, others refuse to. go and necessitate an unpleasant scene or violate the wishes of the coach. Fellows, this is not the right thing to do. We are sure that the team appreciates your interest, but we feel that you should cooperate with those who are trying to carry out the wish es of the coach and not persist in staying on the field. Pep Meeting Commander-in-Chief "Dick" Reeves will call several "pep" meetings in the next few days to follow up those held this week. We feel that it is really the duty of every man who can to attend these meetings. They are the most potent means of creaing in terest and raising spirit on the campus. This thing about cheering help ing the players on the field is not - by any means a line of bull.' When the rooting from the side lines is good, the men on the team feel that the whole student body is right behind them. It gives them a more fierce desire to make good for those men who are eeriner them on nda greater confidence in their own ability. Fellows, there is only one way for us to get these yells and songs down pat so we can be on the job at the Clemson game, that is to pyactice them. It makes no differdnce how well you may know them, a little prac tice will not hurt you and will train you to get into the fuss with the bunch and not a word behind. There ought not to be less than 450 men at each of the meetings and the men who do come want to open their mouths and yell till they are hoarse. Music for the Game. The work of Prof. Gilman of the College for Women in help ing to better the singing at the university is one that means something. The music in chapel is most generally roor. Tne fel lows who can sing won't get into it and those who can't won't even try. If Mr. Gilman can get the student body so it will sing in unison on the alma mater songs he will have made quite a start in the direction of improving the music at chapel. Btt his object is not so much to get good sing ing in chapel as it is to get good singing at that football game next Thursday and on the big pa rade that is to follow that night. The songs he is trying to show us how to sing are full of pep and ginger and are just exactly what is needed to put pep into the players and spell it with a capital "P." The Gamecock wishes to ex press the appreciation of the en tire student body for the interest Mr. Gilman is taking in the uni versity. We feel that he has al ready put more pep into the fel lows than they had before and, better still, he is showing us how we can put this pep into the kind of fuss that helps the men on the field. The Song Book The song book gotten up by the cheer leader this year is a marked improvement over the one gotten out last season. This is largely due to the new songs that it contains. The one writ ten by Dr. Reed Smith and ar ranged by Prof. Gilman of the College for Women is written in a style that appeals to college men, contains the usual slang expressions that we use and the sentiment that all Carolina men are filled with. The tune is of that jolly, rollicking kind that is so well adapted for a pep song and we predict that this will be come one of the most popular of alma mater songs. Dr. Wau chope's new song is set to so fa miliar a tune that it will bd easi ly learned and it too will beyond a doubt be'bopular. We feel that the time is draw img near when CernHn mml lave a true song book, such as is got ten out by Harvard and Yale and other large universities. But if this song book is to come out in the near future the fellows on the campus must stand behind these earlier attempts. The cheer leader can not run the risk of having to pay the bill for printing out of his own pocket. And if any improvement is to be made over the present pamphlet Carolina rooters must stand be hind him with their pocketbooks. A jit or two is very little out of your pocket but if every man gives his share there will be no trouble in paying the printer. Have you given yours yet?
