Clemson Goes Down Before
Word of Speed and Endur
ance to Tune of 34 to 19
In one of the prettiest games
of basket ball witnessed on the
local court this year, the Game
cocks overwhelmed the Clemson
Tigers by a score of 34 to 19. The
game was far faster and more in
teresting than the score would
indicate. For the entire first
half and part of the second half'
the outcome was very much in
doubt. In the last part of the
second half Carolina, by a beau
tiful spurt, forged far into the
lead and cinched the game.
The game started with several
minutes of fast passing, each
team trying toget their bearings.
Carolina drew first blood when:
Waring made the first of his sev
eral beautiful shots. Clemson
soon registered a field goal and
from then to the last basket of
the first half only one or two
points separated the two teams.
The half ended Carolina 13, Clem
soil 10.
At the beginning of the second
half Clemson, by two beautifully!
executed plays and goals, forged
ahead by one point. On the next
round, however, Talley made a
difiicult goal from about a third
the length of the court, following
it closely with two more registra
tions -- Carolina going to the
front not to be again heade('. From

Last Tuesday the General As

Pd an invitation to (line as guests
of the University and to inspect
the campus and buildings. The
"Mess" was crowded to over
flowing with true sons of South
Carolina. A committee of stu

,f the General Assembly from
the Slate House to the Stewards
Hall promptly at 2:15 p. m. At
2:30 the doors were thrown open
and young and old alike started
the usual "Mess Hall" rush for
seats- fearing someone would
have to wait. Contrary to cus
tom there was a bountiful sup
ply on hand, everything that
one could wish was in sight.
Many of the students who were
not so fortunate as to draw
places and who had had nothing
to eat since 12:30 and that, the
regular dinner prelude, looked
Lhru the windows and doors with
longing faces.

Which Proves Popular
To be Erected Under Popular
Subscription Plan, Directed
by Committee
In accordance with a sugges
tion by R. 0 Purdy, Jr., LL. B.,
'14, plans are under way for
the erection by popular sub
scription of a suitable memorial
to the late lamented Robert E.
Gonzales. A representative com
mittee from the faculty, the stu
dent body and the alumni is
being organized to take charge
of the funds and to decide upon
the best way of expending them.
No doubt alumni all over the
state will welcome the opportu
nity to contribute toward com
memorating the life and service
of one of their number who met
death in the performance of
duties as a citizen and a soldier.
Unsolicited subscripiions are al
ready coming in.
The disposition of the funds
will depend upon the amount
raised. Among the suggestions
already made for the memorial
are. The erection of a bronze
tablet to Mr. Gonzales, the pur
chase of a portrait for the Uni
versity chapel, or an endowed
scholarship.
Mr. Moorman, president of
the State Alnmni Association
and chairman of the committee,
issued the following statement:
