Galloway, Star for Presbyteri. ans, Failed Three Times to kick Field Goal. The Gamecocks won their sec ond game on the gridiron last Saturday when, in a one-sided affair, the Presbyterian College varsity were defeated by a score of 41 to 0. Fumbled balls and intercepted forward passes play ed a big part in the victory. The visitors, though much out weighed, put up a game fight throughout the afternoon. Carol lina showed lack of team work. The opposing men, for this rea son, succeeded time and again in .going through the line and breaking up plays. At the beginning of the first quarter Carolina carried the ball to the Presbyterians' five yard line, but lost on downs. Mor rison blocked a kick by 'Gallo way, the ball bounded over the goal line, and Hill fell on it for a touchdown. Carolina kicked off and immediately recovered the ball after the Clintonites fumbled. Carolina was penal ized frequently at this stage of the game, but in spite of this succeeded in bringing the pig skin within 20 yards of the en emy's goal line. Saye went around end from tackle for the second touchdown. Soon after the next kickoff Squier inter cepted a forward pass and went down the field for another touch down. An end run by Simril at the beginning of the second quarter netted 30 yards and brought the ball within 10 yards of the goal line. Clark caught a forward pass on the goal line for another touchdown. The Presbyterians waked up at this point and by the use of iorward passes made first down several times. The whistle blew for the half, leav ing the score 27 to 0. The visitors received the ball and three times failed to gain. The ball was fumbled. Laurer scooped it up and crossed the goal line. Through fumbles, penalties, and successful for ward passes the Presbyterians brought the ball near the Caro lina goal posts. Galloway three times tried to kick a field goal. The tension was relieved when Hill recovered a blocedn kick and STUDENT CONFERENCE WAS HELD AT FURMAN Many Prominent Speakers Heard at the Meeting.

FRESHMAN RECEPTION HELD FRIDAY NIGHT All College Girls of the City Attended in Bodies. Biggest and Best Sociable Ever Held at Carolina Was Due to Committee. One of the biggest and best receptions ever held at the Uni versity of South Carolina was giv en in the gymnasium last Friday night the by Social Cabinet. The event was in honor of the fresh men of Carolina and a welcome to the college girls of the city. The attendance was far in ex cess of any social function ever held prior to that date. The spacious gymnasium was crowd ed in every corner. Seats cov ered the floor space next to the walls, and in addition there were groups of chairs placed about in the open. Even these could not accommodate all the guests. There were hundreds standing and walking all the time. It was just like a theatre crowd. Every college girl in Columbia with few exceptions and some of the town girls were present. The Carolina boys turned out in full, and a number of their friends came with them. They made every effort to give the girls a hearty welcome. This was the first reception ever attended at the University by the Chicora girls. The Gamecocks wanted them to feel that they, like Co lumbia College, are desired at all of the Carolina sociables. It shows a great spirit of friendli ness and cooperation between the institutions and student bodies when all can meet and spend such a pleasant evening. The success of the event is largely attributable to the social cabinet and the special commit tee appointed by it to arrange for the reception. The commit tee was constituted by R. W. Wade, H. 0 Hanna, and T. C. Jolly. They deserve special com mendation for their work. Miss Pearle Price, A. B. '15, spent last week-end at the Girl's Dormitory. Miss Price was for three successive years voted the prettiest and most popular co-ed at Carolina. The sub-station post office has been established at 909 Main Street. It is not equipped to handle packages at present but this convenience will be added at an early date. DEATH OF S. J. COHEN CAUSE OF SORROW HERE Was Former Student and Instructor at University.
