VOL. VIII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 17, 1914. No. 4 ATHLETIC FIELD FENCE TO BE REBUILT Present Structure Has Stood for Eighteen Years. Strenuous Efforts Being Exerted for Funds--Wade Heads Committee. Strenuous efforts have recently been made to rebuild the fence around the University athletic field. The grandstand is also In cluded in the plan, but the fence claims attention first. No one who has been within a block of the field can doubt the need of a better method of fencing. The present makeshift was built thru the efr-crts of Prof. Colcock 18 years ago and has served its day. A commi'tee consisting of Pro fessor Colcock, J. J. Seibels, R. W. Wade, (chairman) J. D. E. Mey r, Jr., S"iLomon Blatt, and D. A. Brockington h-s formulated several plans to build the fence. It will cost about $500 or $600. First, each class is asked to con tribute not less than a foot per mn, a foot costing 25 cents. The space built by each class will be dedicated to that class. The sec ond plan is to sell advertising space to merchants up town. Then a subscription list is to be started among the business men and friends of the University. The faculty and advisory board are expected to contribute their share. Meanwhile the alumni are being solicited, and every ef fort is being inade to give Caro lina an up-to-date athletic field. The hearty cooperation of all is requested by the committee. Af ter the money is in hand the fnee wili be erected, the stu dents doing the carpenter work. The lo!iowing letter to the alum ni is self-explanatory: ''lMy 1 ar Sir: It is with great reluctance that we call upon you to assist the old University dur ing these strenuous times, but really we feel that to permit lon ger to remain ea iosed to public view and criticism the terribly dilapidated condition of our ath letic field is intolerable. No part ot the University or its grounds or buildings comes more fre quently to the eye of the public than does the athletic field. Let us at least make it presentable. The feince and grand stand are as completely gone as last sp)ring's fledglings.

Has Hus ky Aggregation. Gamecocks Crippled in Second Quarter- Langston Was Out and Hill Had Spraind Ankle. Carolina's football team bat tied with one of the strono:est teams in the South last Monday. North Carolina's line averaged two hundred pounds from tackle to tackle and one hundred and eighty- hree from end to er.d. Besides, the opposing team was made up entirely of experienced football players. On the other hand our men were much lighter in weight and less experinced. In the first quarter the "tar heels" made two touchdowns and kicked two goals, making the score 14 to 0. The second quarter was a fa t'l period for our team. It was in this quarter that Captain Hill received a sprained ankle, which -put him out of the game, and also "Bub" Langston was knock ed out. In this quarter North Carolina pushed the ball over but on account of holding the touchdown was not counted. Handicapped on account of having less experienced men in Langston's and Hill's places, our team couid not hold out against the "'tarheels" in the. ~las t half. For this reason the opposing t<am scored thirty four points in the second and ALENDAR r 18.25.) day from 1:00 until 2:00 p. m. iday ning dance in the gymn isium, t 9:30 p. m. the McMaster School opening. day l Bible Classes at Y.
