SCRUBS MEET PORTER HERE The first scrub game of the season will be staged on Davis Field next Saturday against Por ter Military Academy. The lads from the City by the Sea come with a good record behind them, and the scrubs have shown good form in scrimmage all season, so the game will be fiercely fought. A return game will be given the e second team in Charleston No vember 15. Carolina's scrubs compose a ' team that no prep team can sneeze at. They have given the varsity a tough fight for the past c three or four weeks and will be in the best form for the game c3 Saturday. It will be difficult to v4 pick the bunch that will meet '. Porter, so The Gamecock will not Zi attempt to do so. Last year the scrubs walked away with the Academy crew in Charleston and will doubtless get away with a more brilliant victory this time. with the student body cheering them on. Porter's eleven early in -the season held the Citadel varsity to a 0-0 score. This stunt comes near getting them in Class A in South Carolina football.. So the scrubs will not tackle a cinch in Saturday's game. Assistant Coach Dunn will be in charge of the Gamecocks. The scrubs, when he gets in behind them, will think of the brilliant victory the varsity won over Clemson just two days before and will get into the scrap deter mined to emulate them or "break a trace" in the attempt.

A. meetings this year was de livered by Mr. Whilden, assist ant secretary of the city Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening. The speaker chose for his subject "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need eth not to be ashamed, rightly di vining the word of truth." le urged his hearers to study the Bible. "For," said Mr. Whil den, "the impressions made upon your minds now are more lasting and more potent than those made in later life. Young men, you need the Bible. You should make its teachings the practical. ruler of your every-day life." He gave many reasons why one should study the Bible. Among other reasons he said it should be studied because it is the one great Book. Queen Victoria said that itwas the greatest book for it had redeemed her people. Gladstone once referred to it as the greatest book. No man can count himself as an educated man unless he knows the Bible. This splendid address was very appropriate as the Y. M. C. A. is planning to start a series of Bible study courses next week. The plan is to have groups in every dormitory on the campus, led by some student, studying the "Manhood of the Master." Every student on the campus is urged to enroll for this study. Professors to Have Articles Published Several members of the univer sity faculty have articles that will soon appear in print. The paper read by Dr. Morse before a convention at Buffalo will appear in an early number of the Popular Science Monthly. This paper is on the Binet system of measuring the intelligence of children. Dr. Morse has made a rather extensive study along this line among the negroes of this State, and his article was reck oned as one of marked import. Prof. Gee of the department of biology is just completing a thesis for his doctor's degree from the University of Califor nia. His work has a typical sci entific name which The Game cock will refrain from publishing. Prof. Tate has a bulletin on rural schools to be published, possibly as a university bulletin. The article by Dr. Smith on "Popular Etomology" is men-, tioned in another column. Turhleel VTersuis the Minnesota shift down pat.
