Don't Fail to Hear Raymond Robins VOL.IX. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHOCAROLINA,_COLUMBIA, S. C., NOVEMBER 30, 1915,. No. 9. PRINCETON WANTS GAME WITH SOUTH CAROINA Tikers Desire' Meeting With Corhing'Ockir'eIs. CONTEST AT PRINCETON Choice of Three Dates is Given. Offer Regarded as High Compliment. Princeton University has offer etj the University of South Caro lina the ,noice of three dates upon which the Gamecocks may play the Tigers in football next year, the game to be played at Princeton. The telegrrm con taining the proposal was recived by the local management a few days ago. The Princeton manage rnent seemed very C-nxious for arrangements to be satisfactori ly made and the contract be Fign ed. All Carolina supporters are pleased with the offcr and hope that the necessary preliminaries may be concluded and the game staged. This comes as quite a compli ment to South -Carolina, for Princeton, a prominent member of the "Big Three," to seek a a football engagement with them. It is very seldom that in such a comparatively short time a Sou thern educational institution ad vances so far in football as Caro lina has in the past few years, and this offer of Princeton show that what was predicted not long ago, namely, that South Carolina would soon be a factor to b3 r3ck-3ed with in All-Ameri can honors, is coming to pass surely and more quickly than was expected. All football supporters in the South should ardently urge that this game be played, because it adds a forward step for the S-outli in the realm of the grid iron. Rutgers Game. Rutgers College Brunswick, N. J., has written the Carolina management requesting a post season football game to be play ed in Columbia Dec. 22. As yet, no game has been arranged. Rutgers has a strong team, as comparative scores will show, and it would be an excellent thing for the University to play the Jersey men. America asks nothing for herself but what she has a right to ask for humanity itself. Woodrow Wilson. DISTINGUISHED !
