VOL. VIII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 24, 1914. No. 5 CAROLINA FAIR GROUNDS VS. AT NOON CLEMSON THU. OCT. 29 CAROLINA VS NEWBERRY THIS AFTERNOON Game To Be Staged On League Park, 3:00 P. M. Old Contestants In Basketball, New Rivals In Football, Meet Today. One of the smaller rivals of the gamecock varsity will be the opronents in the gridiron bout to be staged this afternoon. Though last session at Newberry College marked her initial year in the great classic of Ameri ca, she contends to have and to support a strong fighting ma chine. We meet New berry today the first time, which team is repu ted to be in splendid condit icn, and which we must not forget to fight. As we go against such teams as Virginia with great de termination so do they come against us. On the team there are two men who have attained accomplishments in football cir' cles. McLean, the Lutheran's captain was the all-State quar ter-back !ast season, and prom ises to be a very zealous and ag gressive addition to that team. Also on the team will be found Ashbaugh, who is a brother of the renowned and eminent Ash baigh of Brown University, who held one year an all-Arnerican end h.nor, is dloing excellent work at end for the Indians. This is a fairly credible nucleus around which to cluster a sub stantial squad. So let us look to th;ee men before cointin- the winnim? s^ore. It is reported that this aggregation Kept Dav idson wide awake and gave them an opportunity to press in to action many of their experienc ed schemes to win. The Newberry fellows have planned to have their team ac compaied by about one hundred men, which nca s thatt "jpp" is pro ent with tmrn and the team. In this conte:t for experimeinct the coaches have come t. tems oi the idea that the numbering of each man will mean something t) both the pla% e -s and specta t >rs. This wili be tried and if GAMECOCKS AND TIGERS TO BATTLE THURSDAY Greatest Game of Season to Be Staged on Fair Grounds. Some Who Shared the Praise of 22 to 7 Will Fight for Caro lina Again. The climax of the present foot ball season is close at hand. On next Thursday the "big game" is to be staged at the fair grounds. Coaches and men have been working all the season to get together a team that could make a good showing against Clemson. We believe Carolina has the team. As' is well known, in 1912 the Gamecocks twisted the Tiger's tail to the tune of 22 to 7. They would have repeated the same feat last year but for unprevent able mishaps. This year pros pects look even better than they did in '12. Let us look the men over. In the line we have Girar deaP, O. Going, Jerry Porter, Hampton, Stoney and others who have played splendid varsity bal!. The backfield promises to be the strongest we have had in ycars. "fBilly" larth, the man who made the first touchdown against Clemson in '12, is likely to be the general of the team next Thurs day. I)an IHeyward, who does not, know what stop means, may be at one of the halves. Langston, Kerr and Richards are possibiii ties for the other half. Porter, whose specialty is to punt the ball at least 50 yards, is apt to play at fullback. With such men as have been named to pick a team from, we can surely say, "what it take; to win the game, we've got it, its a shame, how we'll romp ol, their ding dong." with success, will probably be adopted in the Tiger-Gamecock feat. Let every mai Of us wi:o supports the colors of Caroina find his person present at League Park no later than 3:(0 p. n. today to see our varsity ir: terest the embryonical amatei:r s from Newherry College. TENNIS TOURNEY HERE THIS WEEK Carolina Wins Championship in Doubles. Finals Played Today to Deter mine Winners of Singles. Officers of Association. The ninth annual tennis tour nament for the intercollegiate championship of South Carolina has been in progress this week on the University courts and for the third successive year Caro lina has won the championship h:mors in doubles. As The Game 1ock goes to press the finals are still unplayed but of the nine teams which entered the tourna ment last Wednesday with such 'igh hopes all have been elimi .aied except two Carolina con binations who will meet in the final encounter for the State championship. These two pairs are Sims and Cary and Wallacei and Henderson. In the singles Lana Sims ha-; reached the finals in the uper half of the draw, while Crawford of Carolina and Reed of the Presbyterian college will battle for finalist honors in the lower half. Due to rain Fri day considerable delay was caused in playing off the matches but, weather permitting, the play will be finished today. The first clash of the tourna ment to attract attention on the campus was the double match between Sims and Cary of Caro lina and Thornton and Sloan of Clemson. This contest resulted in a signal victory for the Garnet and Black, the Clemson men being completely overwhelmed by the fast net play of Carolina's .,ar team. Clemson has never <feated Carolina in doubles dur ing the nine years that the tour nament has been held. Lana Sims, Caro' ia'. iumber one man in singles reached the finals with out the loss of a set. His semi final opponent, Thornton of Ciem ;on, was only able to take tw tranes a set, the young Columbia expert being master of the situ ation at n. arly every stage of the contest.

The Debating Council in its meeting Thursday decided that the University would attempt this year to form two triangular debating leagues. The triangu lar league of last year met with the approval of all, and it is very probable that Carolina's program of debate for this year- will be confined to two leagues similar to that of last year. It has al ready been decided that Tennes see will be one corner of one of the leagues. This will be the first time Carolina and Tennessee have entered a debating contest against each other. It is not possible for the Coun cil to decide what other institu tions will have places in the two leagues. The secretary of the C:>incil is now in communication with the debating councils of the other large Southern colleges. The prospects are that a good program of debates for the en suing year wiil soon be completed. Owing to the financial deficiency of the treasury of each society a committee consisting of the treas urer and secretary of the Council has been appointed to ask the aid of the University in carrying out the plans or the Council. The qu ry for the Roddy medal debate will be announced at an early date. Cheering Practice. Dutch Passailaigue, cheer lead er, wishes to announce that there vill be a short cheering practice An ch:pel immediately after the regular exercises on Monday and Vednesday. It is the duty of -very Carolina man to he there in order to get in good form for the Clemson game. Let every man be in his seat in the Caro lina reserved section at least 15 minutes bfore the game starts.
