VICTORIOUS GAMECOCKS
DEFEAT CUMBERLAND,
Carolinians Pile up Big Score
of 68 Points.
East Tennesseeans Unable to
Cross Garnet and Black
Goal Line.
The Gamecocks easily deefeated
the Cumberland University
eleven last Saturday by a score
of 68 to 0. The visitors, who
were substituting for the U-ni
versity of Tennessee, proved no
match for Carolina in any phase
of the game.
Touchdowns crowded upon
each other, Carolina making two
in the first quarter, one the
second, four in the third and
three in the fourth. Surran
kicked eight goals out of nine
trials.
The outstanding features of
the game were the plunges of
Riha and Kerr and the end runs
of Seaborn and Waring. Riha
played the whole game plungihg
thru the Cumberland line time
after time for good gains and in
the fourth quarter intercepted a
forward pass going 50 yards for
a touchdown. Kerr played his
usual good game. He. crossed
the Cumberland goal line three
times by successful line plung
ing. Seaborn pushed himself
into the limelight for the first
time when in the third quarter
he ran 60 yards, from kick form
ation, for a touchdown. This is
his first year here and apparent
ly there is a great football future
before him. Laurer and Waring
executed a perfect forward pass
whereby the latter ran 50 yards
for a touchdown. Laurer on the
defense played a striking game.
Although the losers could not
show any real Flaying they stuck
gamely to the field and fought
throughout the entire game.
Osborne starred for them.
For practical:y the first time,
last Saturday Carolina saw her
captain, 0. Going, in action in
the backfield. He showed that
he could use his great strength
to advantage in this position as
well as in the line. In the fourth
quarter by successive line plung
ing ha gained the ninth touch
down for his men. H. Going,
also, showed up in excellent
form in the backfield. By his
gains he showed the spectators
again that his performance of
last Thanksgiving Day was noth

CHARLESTON MEDICINE
MAN DELIVERS ADDRESS
Dr' Kenneth Lynch of State
Medical College Gives
Exchange Lecture
In LeConte.
Unique in its message and
laden with truths was the lee
ture delivered hy Dr. Kenneth
Lynch, of the South Carolina
Medical College, in the semi-cir
cular room of LeConte College
on Wednesday evening on the
sul.ject "Preventive Medi
cine."
"The modern physician wants
his patients with tul erculosis to
know that there is no certaii
drug that cure his disease" said
Dr. Lynch. He also stated that
the physician would have his
people know that there are cer
tain conditions upon which they
may live so as to prevent their
being infected with disease
which cat s s the death of so
many hundrEds of reeple in the
United States each year.
"The greatest inheritance that
one can leave to his young is
health, and this we should all
endeavor to leave," says Dr.
Lynch. We are living in a land
pregnant with vice and we
should endeavor to get rid of
this vice and thereby be more
able to give health to our young,
was clearly and forcibly pointed
out, the speaker saying "To
transmit disease to our off
spring is, in a sense, worse than
murder."
The fu -ther devolpment of med
icine both curative and preven
tive depends upon science and
in conjunction with this fact all
medical students must base their
work on science.
Less than fifteen years ago
before typhoid antitoxin was
discovered there were about 352
deaths to every hundred thou
sand people in the United States
caused by typhoid fever, and
in 1911 there were only 146 to
every hundred thousand. This
shows a 'marked decrease and as
the speaker so clearly stated,
"Preventive medicine measures
its success in the oves saved."
If it were possible for this de
crease to continue in the same
proportion for the next ten
years, this one preventive drug
would make the death rate much
smaller, or in other words, it
would practically eliminate the
treacherous disease of typhoid

METHODISTS EASY FOR
STRONG CAROLINIANS
Terriers Lose Scrapfest to
Undefeated Gamecocks.
Carolina Line and
Sanders Star.
In a game featured by several
near scraps the Carolina reserve
team defeated Wofford in their
annual football game at the Spar
tanburg County Fair Thursday
by a score of 33 to 6. During
the first quarter of the game the
Carolina eleven pushed their op
ponents back and crossed the
goal line three times. A f ter
this quarter, however, the Wof
ford team rallied and put up a
game fight for the remainder of
the contest.
In the third quarter the Metho
dists managed to cross the Game
cock's goal line by two well exe
cuted forward passes, several
line plunges, a penalty, and two
more plunges. Sanders carried
the ball over but failed to kick
goal.
During the remainder of the
game Carolina scored two more
touchdowns by long gains around
Wofford's end. Carolina played
straight football, usiing no for
ward passes.
Several times while the game
was in progress the Gamecocks
and Methodists came near trans
forming the gridiron into a ring
and settling their difficulties by
combat. Happily, however, no
fights occurred.
The features of the game were
the swift work of the backfield
and good, steady playing of the
whole line for Carolina; for Wof
ford the feature was the line
plunging of Sanders, also the
well executed forward passes.
