Student Activities Greatly Affec

Every Department.
According to a list compiled b:
Jas. McB. .Dabbs, the presiden
of the student body- last year am
who has been doing some valuabli
Y.- M, C. A. work for the guards
men both at Styx and at the bord
4r, there are eighty-nine Carolin:
rjen in the South Carolina caml
rear El Paso, Tex. This list in
: ludes alumni as well as under
raduates. Fortunately for u
only seventeen out of this numb
er are undergraduates, fourtee1
of which would have probably re
turned this year. These men are
W. M. Reynolds, R. E. Browne
Jas. DeLoach, W. B. DeLoach
J. K. B. Deloach, J. K. Charles
George Bass, S. D. Turteltaub
W. T. Henderson, Johnson Ha
good, R. L. Osborne, J. D. Catc
Joe Belk, and W. C. Moore. Prac
tically all of these are among th
most popular men in college an4
are greatly missed from the can
pus. Football prospects are mne
damaged dy the failure of "Rut
Osborne to come back this yeai
The Ei.phradian Society has it
president, Browne, away at th,
border and the Gamecock is a
present without a business mar
ager on account of the absene
of Turteltaub.
Although it is not officiall
stated by the War Departmeni
it is reported (according to letter
from students at the border t
their fellow-students) that all th
South Carolina men now in th
army, who have not finished thei
college courses will be given thei
discharges early in Octobei
There is another rumor afoot thq
they will not get away until N<
vember. It is hoped very muc
that it will be the former date.
Many very prominent alumr
of Carolina are with the other
in Texas and about ten have cor
missions. There are several men
bers of the class of 1916 amon
them.
Four hundred and seventee
students had registered at ti
office up to last Thursday.
Dr. Moore has been appointe
on the Boll Weevil Commissior

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.
In the second quarter Gotscha
took four yards after failing t
gai n. Newberry was penalize(
for illegally moving the ball

Williams who carried the hal! t
the three yard line. Dellmi
carried it ov'er for the touchdowv
andl kicked goal. TVhe rest n

FRESHMEN ENTERTAINED
BY STUDENT BODY
Six Hundred Enjoy Recep
tion to New Men.
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
