ed Passes Frequent.
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

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.
