SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY t HOLDS FIRST MEETING t Professor' Taber Speaks on Origin of Asbestos. - Election of Officers Held After Address -- Whitescarver, Coleman, and Teeple. The first meeting of the Le t conte Scientific Society was called to order on Friday night, October 6, by President Sullivan. Two Snew members, N. Silber, and T. a L. Bailey were elected. Prof. p Snowden next read three letters - to the society, in which he showed that fifty years ago Charleston s was one of the leading scientific - centers of this country, a sadly neglected fact. He brought forth - his evidence in a very interesting manner. , Dr. Mills, who was to have told the Society about his trip to the meeting of the American Chem ical Association in New York, was obliged to be absent. , Dr. Taber laid before the So ciety the results of some experi e ments which he has been conduct i ing during the past years in his - laboratory in Leconte College. i This was concerning the origin of asbestos. His new theory is extremely plausible and he show s ed several facts which seem to e make the other theories impos ,t sible. He presented his subject in a very interesting and pleas e ing manner and his talk was int eresting as well as enlightening. Y After the regular program the ;, election of officers was h6ld. s Mr. D. C. Whitescarver was elect 0 ed president, Prof. J. B. Coleman e vice-president, and Prof. P. M. e Teeple, secretary and treasurer. r Under the leadership of these ex r cellent officers the society should , make excellent progress this year. - A movement has been started h to receive the Woodrow Wilson Club on the campus. Many of i the southern colleges have al a ready done this. Carolina was - among thefirst, if not the first - college, to organize this club in g 1912 and she should renew the efforts this year when democracy undoubtedly needs her aid. Talk n it among yourselves. Carolina lost to Newberry last d Saturday because the team did .not play in its usual form and be y cause the boys on the bleachers d were not with the team. Fellows e. is that the old Gamecock spirit? NEWBERRY WINS FROM CAROLINA Lutherans Have Best of Gamecocks. Visitors Use Forward Pass tc Advantage, Scoring Touchdown and Goal From Field. Coming with a drive that woulk not be denied Newberry College defeated the University of South Carolina here yesterday after noon, 10 to 0, in the first foot ball game of the season for Co lumbia. The Lutherans outplayec the Gamecocks and deserved t< win. The visitors had the bes1 of the setto in almost every de partment of play. They outran, outkicked, and outgeneraled th( home team. The game was a ragged affair, both teams falling short of ex acting requirements, but it was a good game. "Big" Hampton played goo ball for Carolina at guard an< center. He broke through re peatedly and showed lots o fight. Seaborn also played well getting away for one long rui and putting up a good exhibitioi on defense. Simril got off for f long run. The Gamecock lin< outplayed the backfield. Newberry's backfield.and end, played the best game. Taylor Dellmin, and Kennedy were fas with the ball. Renken and Wil liams played well on defense an< starred at receiving forwar( passes. Both teams suffere< from penalties. Newberry won the toss an( elected to defend the wester goal. The play was practicall; a standoff in this quarter. Sea born and Simril got away fo long runs but a costly fumbl blocked substantial progress Taylor and Gotschal gaine ground for the visitors. Th first substitution was Clark fo Bob Waring. The quarter ende( with the ball on Carolina's 3 yard line with second down fo the visitors.

Friday Night Reception Was Biggest Held on Campus in Many Years. The opening of Carolina this year has been successful in every way and the climax was marked Friday evening last, when six hundred voices stirred the atmos phere in the large gymnasium building at the annual reception given to the college students of Columbia by the so,:ial cabinet of the University of South Carolina. That it was a happy occasion must not be denied for it is sel dom that so many good looking "flossies" triumph the walls of Carolina. The fair damsels of Chicora and Columbia colleges were there in full force and many long faces were turned into smiles greeting sisters, cousins, and sweethearts. It is always a pleasure tG have the sister colleges at the recep tions and this was no exception to the rule. For two and a half hours the chattering voices had echoed back and forth without a single "penalty" but soon there was an "interference" on the opposite side who told the girls to get on their cloaks. This of course meant time to say good night to the loved ones. Blocked ice cream and crackers were served by Mrs. G. A. Wau chope, Mrs. L. P. Chamberlayne Mrs. E. M. Rucker: Misses Kath erine Van Benthuysen, Francis Wells, Dorothy Lancester. Kath erine Bailys, Isabel Currell, and Peggy Lancester. Those serving on the mixing committee were Messrs. R. R. Harley, W. C. Mann. C. L. Sea born, S. H. Wilkerson, L. B. Harrison, L. E. Hanr-, and Roy McGee. Saturday October 14, Wofford and Carolina clash in their an nual gridiron contest on Davis Field at three O'clock. When referee Van Meter sounds the first signal for play, the Game cocks will be there strong and determined to light hard to win. 'Although the player limit is eleven men, the entire student b lody\ cani be in the game on the sidelines. Let every loyal Game 2 oek be on the bleachers yelling
