Converse Wofford.
Spur THE GAMECOCK on.
Wanted -- A name for the co-ed
freshmen.
Washington has turned out to
be Waterloo.
Chapel is going to be a perma
nent institution.
Hanna says the press associ
ation was great.
"What is sweeter th-n a Con
verse girl?" Why, Converse
girls, of course.
At Wofford they have a slogan
"Watch Wofford Win." We like
the Converse of it better.
Some of the boys would be
mad if we believed them when
they say they went to see a
Brown girl.
The Press Association was the
sweetest held in recent years.
At least that is the opinion of all
Con verse-atijonalists.
A bit of rime so sweet.
And terse
Is in one2 word, andl that's
Con verse.
CLASS FOOTBALL.
The (class basketball games
have been played. A great deal
of interest was manifested in
these contests. But -t he real
absorbinug element oft American
college athletics today is foothall
The class football games will be
played shortly after the regular
season closes Thanksgiving D.y.
THE GAMECOCK would urge that
every man who is able to wear a
uniform go cut fcr class practice.
We know it is not possible for
every one to make the teams,
but, in true sportmanship, m-.k
ing the team is of minor impor
tance: it is the game, the sport,
that counts. Of course a victory
for your team is a great thing
to rejoice in, but this one thing
is true, no football team ever
won a game without the aid of!
the scrubs. Let everyone who
thinks he is of sound timber come!
out after Turkey Day and help
make his class team the best it:
can possibly be.
Many of the men now in col
lege will teach school for a year
or two at least. To everyone of
these men a knowledge of the
great American game is indis
pensable. It's up to you to build
up prep. school football in this
State, so that the South can come
into her own, gridironically
speaking. . Even if you do not
teach, the knowledge you get in
practice will enable you to under
stand the game better, and be
sides, you need the experience.
THE PRESS MEETING
College generations are short
and fleeting. Hardly more than
once is an editor permitted to
forsake his uneasy chair and
journey to a meeting of the State 1
College Press Association. We
were fortunate, or unfortunate
enough to be an editor, but were
fortunate in neing able to attend
the recent association meeting at.
Spartanburg. At a gathering of
this kind one gains a great deal
in mingling with the editors of
other college publications, both
male and female. The exchange
of ideas, the discussion of plans,
and everything connected with a
pow-wow of this nature seems
to quicken the interest in the.
work and to make the uneasy
chair slightly easier; and, too, to
meet and to know someone else
who has trouble about getting
articies in on time, and every
thing else in the "fourth estate"
catalog from writing headlines
for dogfights to the quaint old
art of creating news, adds color
to the profession and makes the
stains of printer's ink a little
more friendly.
But this is not all. College
press associations were not cre
ated for man alone but for every;
sweet thing who scribbles scrib-'
bles fo publications. T1he girls
who attend these meetings are
the prettiest in the land. There
is still running thru this poor
squibster's headl a series of vis
ions and emotions concerningi
Con verse -- and other colleges
and- but the water's too deep.
We stop right here. You know
the ret
NN
E XPERIENCE is a good school,
but that ain't any excuse for
always stayin' in the same class.
When you're done tryin' out the
" pretty fair" smokes, try VELVET,
the smoothest.
