Where would you class foot ball? ** Gtamecocks to Mexico. - - Head line. Excuse us. It doesn't sound right, but doubtless Brown is blue. See that it (ices not degenerate into a Poker Dot Club. After all, Christmas is a pretty good institution. What gym. has been treating our co-eds rough? Russian names seem to be in a)I1sonan1ts as well in disso unance. * * * Headline -- "Killed His Family With an Oath." Going strong, old boy. When Harry Hampton hit the ground the freshmen had a far flung hattle line. Brown was missing after the freLsh-soph game. It is rep)orted that Gullick sat on him. "Will Return the Fire if Mex icans D)on't Stop.'' Headline. Returning fire is mighty poor bu.siness this cold weather. The United States would press treaties wit.h Colombia and Nica ragua. Is that a new name for stretching- them? Does Mr. Smoke's wife fume when he smokes? Say what you please, Cato was the "noblest Roman of them all." The news that the French are showing strong offense must be very offensive to the Kaiser. Dr. Morse says whistling is sometimes the sign of insanity. How about "Whistling Jim"? In spite of Kizer being the cen ter of the senior team, the war machine did not run so smoothly. Carroll: "Look at that man riding a motorcycle with a wood en leg." "Ram" Purdy says the sopho mores had a rough-on-rats for mation Tuesday, but they for get to work it. * * *~ Seen in the wedding column: "gloom" for "groom," Pritch ar3-Sorey. Wonder it it is now Sorry'? It is a relief to know that a man without brains runs no risk of going insane. Seen on a sophomore parallel list: Read 300 pages of Poe's poems and prose tails. OUR REFRIGERATOR. The mest excruciating tor ture in the world, it is allegcd, is the placing of a desperately hungry man where he can see, but not reach, tempting food. This may, or may not, be true, but we have in the past few months become convinced that it is not very conducive to elevation of soul for a man to be compell e-i to sit in chapel with the cold shivers running up and down his back, while at the same time he can hear the steam escaping from the heating plant not more than a hundred feet away. At present our chapel would make a good reservoir for a re frigerating plant. The words of wisdom we there receive may warm the heart, ,ut they seem to have very little effect on our ''corporeal frames.'' The ex pense of connecting chapel with the heating plant would be ver'y small, and doubtless it would save the dean and his stenogra pher much labor in tabulating "unexcused chapel absences." "Why did you buy so many shirts?" "Well, you see, I needed some pins." "What's a novelty store?" "That's a store that sells ten cent novels" QCJYI A man can b broke and have one fail friend left to c on-his pipe Even the newest addition to yo1 the good fellowship of an old gets seasoned by the aged-in VELVET, The Smoothest Smo has all the slow burning, satisfyi1 Burley de Luxe with a smoothness 10c tins and 5c metal-lined bags.
