Methodists Reported to be Bent on State Championship-Game cocks Badly Crippled. Carolina's 1914 basketball sea son opens tonight when the Game cocks meet Wofford at 8.30 in the gymnasium. For the past two years the Methodists have tried in vain to win the state basketball championship from the Garnet and Black five, but they are back again with a stronger team and hope in view of the weakened condition of the Gamccocks t, redeem their past defeats. Captain Danner and Coach Blackburn have made strenuous efforts to replace the positions left open by Stoney and Poole. T1ie 1911 team will come from Farrell, Danner, and Brooker, of last year's varsity, and the fol lowing newcomers: Templeton, Wells, Burn, Turtletaub, Talley, and Stewart. Brooker and Wells both of whorm have been showing up well, are not in good condition and may not appear in the lineup. The team will be handicapped by its lack of ex perience but they are in the game to win and respectfully advise all who expect to see Wofford get away with the game to stay away and avoid the disappoint ment.

SERIES OF ADDRESSES PROVE GREAT SUCCESS Student Body Shows Interest in Y. M. C. A. Rally. Messrs. Farmer, Irving and Mer cer Deliver Heart-to-Heart Talks to Carolina Men. The Farmer-Irving-Mercer se ries of !ectures given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. to the student body on Dec. 9-1.2 proved to be the most interesting and original ever given at the University. Tom Farmer is an ex-convict with a career more ex citing and varied than any crimi nal ever converted in the Jerry McAuley Mission of New York city. He told of his many con finements in prison and his dar ing escapes before he was finally saved by the power of God. Ted Mercer came from one of our best Southern homes and first began to travel "the primrose path that leads to the eternal bonfire" while at college. Mr. Mercer now gives his whole time to addressing college students. Mr. George Irving is editor of the North American Student and a speaker of note. I)r. Currell gave one hour of the University's regular sche dule, from ten until eleven on Friday and Saturday to the speak ers. The tenements were work ed by committees of men in order to have every man invited to at tend. Besides the large attend ance of the students at every meeting, many took advantage of the opportunity to see t.hese men in private interviews. These helpful talks have done much to strengthen the moral life of the University, to height en its christian ideals and to sus tain the purity of its manhood. The program was as follows: Wednesday night- Tom Farni er;Thursday night -George Irving and Ted Mercer; Friday morning Ted Mercer; Friday night Irving and Mercer; Saturday morning george Irving: Satur day night -- Fa.'rner, Mercer, and Irving.
