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?
When you want the best and most
up-to-date as well as most reason
able in price in the way of
