BASKETB3ALL
With the ushering in of cold
D)eember' we are forced to giv'e
up loot Hall and seek amus..
ment in a warmer atmosphere.
We turn our attention to the
natural successor of the popular
pig skin game, Basket Ball,
which is probably the greatest
indoor sport of American col
!egcs.
Practice has begun here and
with several of the old men back
prospects are bright for a win
ning team. There is one thing
lacking-there are not enough
men out. From a Atudent body
the size of ours we should have
out at least twice as many% as
have reported so far. If you
know the game it is your duty to
Carolina to come out if you
have never played it is your duty
to learn how. Do your duty!

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
High schoolathletics have pass
ed their infancy. They have
gradually grown and developed
until they are fast becoming of
state wide interest instead of
merely a local matter.
They have reached the point
where championship games must
be played and winners decided on
neutral territory. This is good
and should be encouraged.
Some system should be establish
ed to regulate the playing of
these championship games.
Each year a high school track
meet is held at the University.
Track is proabaly the least bene.
ficial and certainly the least in
teresting of athiotics indulged
in by the schools of South Caro
lina. If' the track meets liave
been a success, anld they u ndouht
edly have. wIhy not extend this
system to include football and
baseball? '1here seems to be no
valid reaonI why this should not
be doie.*
Aln association sIoUll be or
ganized similar to those existilg
het ween colleges for the regula
tion of inter-scholastic athletic
contests. Tlhis organization
would agree on rules to govern
these events and have them en
forcel. It would be their duty
to see that efficient oficials
were employed and that only the
cleanest methods indulged in.
Finally, it would declare thc
champions by one, or a series of
po.s-season games, to be played
on neutral territory.
The University has always
taken a vital nterest in high
school a ffairs and is anxious tc
dlo its part to prlomlote some such
plan. As for the place .to play
these championshig games th(
