4, VO.XI. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C, JANUARY 29. 1918. No. 10 CAMP JACKSON FIVE DEFEAT GAMECOCKS Losers Put up Good Battle Againec Brilliant Star Team. Camp Jackson defeated Caro lina in basketball Saturday night at the University gymnasium by the score of 47 to 30. Approxi mately 225 were in attendance and appeared to thoroughly en joy the contest which was a thriller from whistle to whistle. Both teams played brilliantly but the weight and experience of the camp team were large. factors in determining the winner. Car olina was the first to score but for the greater part of the first half the leadership shifted from one team to the other, all of which contributed to the excite ment of the contest. The score at the end of the first half was 26 to 17 in favor of the camp. The soldiers -began the second half by caging the ball twice in rapid succession but the Game conks at this point got their ma chine in working order and threatened to come from behind. The brilliant work of the two camp forwards, however, forced Carolina to accept the small end of the count. These two boys, Sheppard of North Carolina and R'thensise of Princeton, are un questionably two of the best for wards who have ever appeared on a Columbia court. The entire camp team played together beautifully though and deserved the victory. The Uni versity quint was a worthy foe and made their opponents go the limit for the decision, and when the two teams mee again the fans will be assured of a pretty game and it wculd not be at all surprising to see the local talent even the count. Bully Weston, Toots Waring and Slim Martin probably put up the best game for the losers. Carolina will meet Mercer Uni versity, one of the fastest college teams in the South, at the Uni versity "gym'' next Saturday night. A game with Clemson is pending and will probably be closed for Wednesday night.

A war work committee com posed of Professors M o o r e, Carson and Rowe has been named by President Currell to devise plans in cooperating with the national vocational training board preparatory to undertaking at the University the imnortant work of giving students technical training along lines calculated to assist in government work. President Currell along with a score or more other leading Southern educators attended a conference in Washington on January 11 when methods were discussed looking to practical utilization of the resources of the colleges and universities in the South, nearly all of which had put their plants at the disposal of the country early in the war. It is probable this new work will begin at the University during the spring. It was developed at the con ference that the government needs immediately trained wood and concrete workers, carpen ters, welders and automobile experts. T h e federal board for vocational training plans to train such men through the universities rather than draft them from the trades. In this way will be minimized the dis ruption of industry which would follow withdrawal of large num bers of expert workmen. In filling out the questionnaire provided for the purpose, Dr. Currell indicated as the kinds of training Carolina is best prepared to give structural steel, concrete and woodwork, civil engineering, mechanical drawing, cnemistry and autogenous welding.
