No. 9 CAROLINA QUINTET DEFEATS OFFICERS Opening Game of Basketball Easily Won by Fast Gamecocks In the opening game of basketball of the season the Carolina quintet defeated an officer team from the 323rd in fantry, Camp Jackson, on Wednesday night in the gym nasium the score being 46 to 27. The game was fast and full of thrills from start to fin ish, the Gamecock team re vealing a form that was sur prising for early reason play. Despite the superior weight of the army men, the speed and team work of the University squad were sufficient to hold an easy edge throughout the game. The officer team was com prised of former college stars from Cornell, Pennsylvania, Penn State, Citadel and Wof ford. They had not received the practice necessary for per fect team work, this defect be ing easily apparent at the attack of their lighter and less experienced opponents. Only their long experience served them in good stead, holding the score within bounds. The game was witnessed by a fair sized crowd, among whom enthusiasm ran high. In the opening minutes of play the teams appeared prac tically evenly matched, neith er side succeeding in rushing the other for appreciable van tage. Martin, Waring and Bowen, three of the last year varsity men and always fast and accurate played a bril liant game both at offense and defense. The first half ended with the score 20 to 17, the Gamecocks leading. In the second half the home five hit their stride and their speed and accurate goal shoot ing bewildered the officers, leaving the result never in doubt. The great work of Waring and Martin was bal anced with excellent defense of the men from Jackson. Gass Hensley and Levi were the most brilliant of the soldier lights. Earle drew the ad miration of the spectators with his splendid passing. (CONTINND. ON PAU O Im.) ENGINEERING STUDENTS HEAR GOOD ADDRESS C. W. Boynton Speaks of Cement Gun and its Products C. W.

It also serves a useful purpose in the lining of large pipes, the joints be ing closed securely by shooting cement into them. The speak er told of the improved ap pearance resulting from the use of the cement gun in filling defective places in columns and resurfacing walls of rock which show signs of failing.

ESTINY OF BASEBALL IN HANDS OF STUDENTS $300 Can be kaised Caro lina Will Have Team Whether Carolina will put at a baseball team this spring epends on the students. If ie student body can raise $300 iere will be baseball. At a !cent meeting of student body ie situation was fully discuss d and 'committees were ap ointed to canvass for the mount. Baseball has never been a iccess financially at the Uni ersity, the season nearly al rays ending with a balance n the wrong. side of the ex ense ledger. With the un ivorable influences which at mded the football season and 1e not very promising hope f improvement for the re iainder of the season the ath ftic advisory board feels that Carolina is to have baseball t all the season should begin vith the sport on a solid basis nd not with the prospect of Laving to borrow money be ore the season is well under vay. The conditions prevailing ere are felt by all the colleges f the State, it is said, Clemson nd Furman already having xpressed the doubt that they vould be contenders for inter ollegiate honors. So if ,arolina is to have a team, he schedule will have to be rad3 up from teams outside he State, incurring additional xpense fur long trips. Experience in former efforts D raise money in the student ody has not been such as vould give optimistic promise f raising the necessary $300, ut with sentiment so general v in favor of baseball it is ractically certain the amount vill be raised and that Caroli a will be a game contender or diamond honors.
