FAIR WEEK CLASSIC I
WON BY CLEMSON
Tigers Triumph Over Game
cocks in Annual Game.
Score 27 to 0-Many Fake I
Plays Used-Large Crowd
Attends.
As a result of clever fake plays
the Tigers were victorious 6y a 1
score of 27 to 0 in the annual t
Cle mson -Carolina football game, t
last Thursday on the Fair ground i
gridiron.
The Tigers - wrought havoc(
among the Gameco2ks with their,
confusing fakes and splendid ,
interference. Time and again,
the Carolina team was caught off
its guard by the unusual forma- I
tions and Clemson's advance t
swept forward with long gains.
At the very outset triumph fcr
the Gamecocks seemed to be at
hand. Major of the Clemson
team fumbled a pass and McMil
lan, Carolina's captain, fell on it.
With the ball in Carolina's pos
s ssion on Carolina's 20 yard line
Kerr went thru Clemson's line
for eight yards. The Tigers
fought desperately. They knock-!
ed down a field goal attempted by
Kerr, and punted. The ball pass
e,1 to Clemson soon after, and with
a fatal fake play, they scored a
touchdown.
Although the losing side, Caro
lina's fighting spirit did not in
the least abate. The Gamecocks
fought to the bitter end with
obdurate pertinacity. i
Carolina's line was as good as
that of Clemson and held well
when the goal was threatened.'
Captain McMillan at tackle and t
Frank Hampton at center fought
the purple and gold at every step
of thegame and frequently broke
up plays behind the line. Kerr
was the best ground gainer for
the Gamecocks, hitting the line t
time and again for good gains.
Wiehl and Major starred for 1
Clemson.
A Large Crowd Attends. a
Five thousand spectators, ac- f
cording to the gate receipts, were I
present at the commencement of
the game. There were few ca
dets to witness the game, the I
trustees having ordained that
they could not attend the Fair
this year. The Carolina students ~
occupied the central portion of ~
the bleachers. Their songs and ~
cheers rang out intermittently E

The cabinet and council of the

o a fund of at least $150,000
vhich is being raised for the help
>f the youngmen in the one hun

Lmd Germany. The cause began
Ls a result of a statement made

ary for the International Y. M.
. A. committee for the South,
>f the wretched conditions exist-.
ng in the prisons of Europe. Mr.
oliller spoke before the student
)ody at 10:30 Tuesday morning.
Life for the prisoners is almost
inbearable. There are 5,700,000
nen in these prison camps. They
ive under constant armed guard,
vithin barbed wire inclosures. in
lirty barracks, with filthy trunks
)acked as close as possible.
[hey are seldom given water for
)athing purposes, and their
lothes are allowed to rot before
)eirg cht.nged. They are given
kothing to eat but black bread
mnd coffee for breakfast, oil soup
or dinner and supper, scurvy
preads, their teeth drop out, and
nany go insane.
The money, now being saved
>y Y. M. C. A. secretaries from
he college men of America is to
,o toward bettering these awful
onditions. Secretaries will be
ent to the prison camps, where
hey will see to the spiritual wel
are of the men and give them
he bare necessities of life.
All classes of men are founa
iuddled together in these camps.
4en of royal blood, day laborers;
nd professors are reduced to the
ame level. Thousands of the:
risoners are college students and
Iready colleges have been estab
ished. America must help these
oeople.
The plan is to give every col
Dge man in America the chance
o do something toward this great
ause-to make some sacrifice
or these unfortunate people and
