VOL. VII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., MARCH 7, 1914. No. 20 GAMECOCKS DEFEAT CLEMSON TIGERS Carolina Quintette Retains State Championship. Fiercely Contested Game Results in a 29 to 16 Victory for the University. In one of the fiercest basket ball games ever witnessed in South Carolina, the University defeated Clemson College on last Saturday night in the gymna sium by a score of 29 to 16. The winning of this contest gives Carolina a clear title to the cham pionship of the State in basket ball. As against the colleges of the State, the University has a clean slate, every game except one being a victory for Carolina and that lone exception a tie with a college it had already de feated. The Gamecock gaff was too much for their opponents, and from the very first the result was never in doubt, the score at the end of the first half being 17 to 6 in favor of the University. Every point was hotly contested, both sides fought fiercely with out letting up the entire game. The record of fouls accredited to both sides will show how bitter the struggle was. In spite of the inclemency of the weather, there were many on hand to see the struggle be tween the old rivals. For Clem son, Erwin and Caughman stand out above all the rest. Erwin, though not in his usual form, made ten of the 16 points credit ed to Clemson, throwing howev er only eight goals from a possi ble 20 chances. Caughman made the other six, points for Clemson. For Carolina: Brooker stood out most prominently the entire game. He made 19. of the 29 points that went to Carolina, throwing nine out of a .possible 19 goals from fouls. It is a difficult problem to say who starred for Carolina. Poole, Hanahan, Danner and Stoney all played a hard game, but this can be said of everyone on both sides. The game was exciting through out in spite of the largeness of the score. The score was not close at any time but both teams kept fighting at all times.

Mr. Irving, Editor, and Prof. Tate Deliver Lectures. Classes Organized for the Pur pose of Studying Great World Problems. The meeting of the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening was the most important number of the year. The one purpose of the meeting was to get the men interested in the study of world problems, and to enlist them in one or all of the four study courses which the cabinet has selected with care and intel ligence. A number of the men signed up, and an every-man canvass immediately after the meeting enlisted scores of others. Two addresses were g!ven. Mr. Erving, editor of "The North American Student," who is know wintering !n Cam den, S. C., cited three reasons why college men should study world problems: it makes men more patriotic: it gives them & world-wide vision; and it enobles them to serve God and man more efficiently and effectively. He brought the men face to face with the truth that each must do a man's job, and "God pity the fellow who is looking for a cinch." He showed that the work of the mission feilds calls forth all that is manly in a fellow, and that it is a man's job. The op portunity for men of all pro fessions, especially of medecine, teaching and the ministry, are immense, and men who have de cided on one of these life pro fessions will not err, if they choose to spend their lives upon the mission fields where their skill is so badly needed. After the address by Mr. Ir ving Professor Tate spoke to the men on "A Teacher's Opportu nity in South Carolina." Speak ing of the various ambitions of college men, Prof. Tate remark ed that "the noblest ambition a young man can have is to make his life count for the most good." He mentjoned three kinds of im mortality, to wit: the immortali ty of the soul, the immortality of the race, and the immortality of the ideas and thoughts of the in dividual. To illustrate the last division he spoke of the things that have been accomplished by college trained teachers going in to the undeveloped sections of the State, carrving- with them a ROY QUAY MITCHELL DIES AT INFIRMARY Sophomore at the University Succumbs to Pneumonia. A Hard and Sincere Student Friends on the Campus Are Sorely Grieved. Yesterday at 2:15 Roy Quay Mitchell breathed his last in the University Infirmary. Mitchell had been sick just fifteen days. He was stricken with measles on Feb. 19. Several days later he developed pneumonia which re sulted in his death. Roy Mitchell entered the fresh man class of the University in the fall of 1912. He had received preparation for college at the Mountville High school in Laur ens county. This was his sec ond year at Carolina and he had already been ranked among the hardest students here. His father and brother were at his bedside at the last. He leaves a mother, father, one sis ter and three brothers. His brother, W. K. Mitchell, is now a junior at the University. The remains were removed to his home at Mountville this morning. At a student body meeting last night representatives from his class were selected to be present at the funeral which will take place some time tomorrow. Floral offerings will also be sent. The students and faculty at Carolina extend to the bereaved family their deepest sympathy. knowledge of how to study. In deed, there are many progressive communities which today stand as monuments to big hearted school teathers who spent their lives in serving their fellow men. In conclusion Prof. Tate said that the greatest opportunity for young men to perpetuate them selves is to teach these fifty thousand whites and more ne gro3s in South Carolina who can not read or write. He stated al so that the people of South Caro lina must come to realize that one third of the citizenship of their State cannot read under standingly a book or a newspa per, and that truth is being slighted in that men are striving for personal gain with no higher pr pmrn_' t'.a lf _A e:rr1tification The op)portunity for the teacher in South Carolina to p)erpetuate himself is great.
