INSTRUCTIVE LECTURES
HEARD BY STUDENTS
Dr. Hall, Eminent Physician,
Speaks on Three Occasions.
Discusses Questions Dealing
With Sex Hygiene-Large
Crowd Enjoys Talks.
Dr. Winfield Scott Hall deliv
ered three lectures before the
students of the University on his
tour of the leading colleges and
universities throughout the Uni
ted States as arranged by the
International Comnitt-e of the
Young Men's Christian Associa
tion. The speaker brought a
message which was interesting
as well as instructive.
"The Psycho1ogy of Youth,"
the subject of his first address
was listened to enthusiastically
by a fair sized b.dy of men at
me o'clock last Sunday in Flinti
Hall. "The life of every boy
said the speaker, "goes thru the
successive steps of primevalism.
avagry, barbarism, chivalry.
and nocernism, the pr<.cess of
evolution of our forefatl-ers.
It is while going thru the last
st .ges that the collegra man ac
+ q .:rs those certain fundaienta
principles of developed manhood
which mark him as a leader
among his fellows."
At chapel Monday morning the
noted psychologist spoke rrieflI.
on ''immortality.'' In examin
ing and studying the amoeba
we see that it grows and takes
everything for itself, only to
divide and give to the world
two o.ganisins. This fact caus
ed the great German scientist,
Wei-mann, to discover that the
germ plasm is immortal. In the
anirnai life, then immortality
was first gained thru sacrifice."
A iarge audience heard the
most practical and helpful lec
ture of the series, whi'sh was
given Monday night in chapel.
Dr. Hall spoke on "Repi oduction
and Sexual Hygiene" and pre
sented a few pliaiu facts of life
which every young man should
know. Ali of his addresses were
scientifiai y and interestingly
de;i ve'cl. Those whov heard him
hope ih:: another opportunity
like this will soon be had.

OLD RIVALS MEET
IN ANNUAL CONTEST
Davidson and Carolina Battle
for Gridiron Honors.
Teams Evenly Matched-Sever
al South Carolinians in Visi
tors Lineup.
Ancient rivals meet today when
Carolina and Davidson clash in
their annual football game. This
is the first time since 1911 that
the Presbyterians have appeared
on the local gridiron. That fall,
with Everett Booe in the leading
role, Davidson defeated Carolina
'10 to 0. There was no game in
1912. Last year Carolina, after
a refusal by Davidson to play the
game in Charlotte as scheduled,
humored Davidson and went to
"the hill" for the game. Caro
lina easily won, 10 to 0. Today's
game promises to be hard fought
and spirited. Davidson's form in
previous games would indicate
that the visitors have the advan
tage, but Edgerton's men will
give the followers of Fetzer a
distinct surprise today. Carolina
goes into the game to win, and
if they do not, their opponents
will know they have had a tough
battle.
On the Davidson team are sev
eral South Carolina boys. Cosmo
Walker. of Columbia, is consid
ered by many as one of the best
backfield men in Southern foot
ball. L. H. Anderson, of Ander
(.n, will be seen at right tackle.
He weighs 180 and is one of
Davidson's best line men. Bob
Walker, a brother of Cosmo, is
p'aying sub-end and will be seen
in the lineup. Robert McKay, of
Sumter, will probably start the
game at one of the guards.
Debating Council Meets.
The Debating Council met
Wedneseay to discuss the pros
pects for arranging debates for
this year. It was announced
that Georgia and Tennessee had
accepted our challenge for a tri
angular debate, and that it will
come off about May 1. Prac
tically the same contract as used
last year- with Virginia and
Georgia will be used.
The Debating Council is en
deavoring to arrange a single
debate with some southern uni
versity, but as yet have not been
able to (do so.
It was also decided that if the
Southern Oratorical Contest is
held this year', that Carolina
would participate.
CAROLINA EASILY
DEFEATS WAKE FOREST.
Open Style of Play Feature
of Game.
Stoney's Remarkable Passing
and Splendid Work of Entire
Team Worsts the Baptists.
Carolina upset the dope and
easily beat Wake Forest last
Saturday afternoon, 26 to0. The
Carolina team showed a distinct
improvement of form and by
beautiful open play and strong
mass play, when needed, gave
the Baptists a bad time.
Stoney's forward passing was
the most brilliant ever seen on a
Columbia gridiron. During the
contest 253 yards were gained by
the use of the forward pass alone.

New Scholarships Awarded.
The Department of Education
announces that three new schol
arships will be awarded this
year. These scholarships are
made possible by money gotten
from the Peabody fund. Each
scholarship is good for $120.
The requirements for those
wishing to obtain one of these
scholarships are practically the
same as for those getting teach
ers' scholarships. The applicant
must take work in the teachers'
department while he holds one
of these scholarships. It is
probable that holders of these
scholarships will have to act as
librarians in the Department of
Education library on certain af
ternoors of the week.
T1he aim of these scholarshii's
is get more good men to take
up the teachers' course.
