PRINCETON WANTS GAME
WITH SOUTH CAROINA
Tikers Desire' Meeting With

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.

The committee appointed by

umors concerning the status of

'he committee was composed of
Lve members from the Student

ext of the report, which speaks
or itself, is as follows:
The Student Body of the Uni

brough a committee appointed
inder its authority investigated
arefully the athletic conditions

nake a full, free and frank state
nent to the interested public.
At the very outset, this Stu
lent Body desires to say that it
ias no intention of attacking or
ven questioning the., motives,
vhatever they may have been,
vhich instigated the articles in
uestion, but on the other hand
xpresses its gratefulness for an
opportunity to clear ip once and
or all the matters which have

iew of expressions in certain
Lrticles, it is proper to state thdt
n a majority of cases there exists
othing affecting their standing

A striking illustration of this.
