VARSITY FIVE WIN AND LOSE ON TRIP Defeat Wofford and Guil ford - Lose to U. N. C. and-N. C. State Last week the Gamecock basketball team despite a crippled line up successfully invaded the land of the Tar heels. For teams, Wofford, Guilford, U. N. C. and N. C. State, felt the Gamecock spurs. Two, Wofford and Guilford, went down in de feat. The remaining two forced the light Carolina lads to bend the knee to superior weight and passing. Eight men, including Coach Foster, made the trip, Capt. Waring, Bowen, Weston, Means, Beall, Foy, Seymour. Vaughn and Martin were out of the regular line up. On Tuesday night, February 26, the Carolinians met the Terriers on the Y court at Spar tanburg. The game was well played and hard fought thru out. The first half ended with the score 16 to 9 in Carolina's favor. But in the second half the Terriers came back and tied the score, 24 to 24, in the last minute of play. At the end of the extra five minute period, the score stood 27 to 26 in Car olina's favor. Beall and War ing starred for the Gamecocks. On the following night at Guilford Carolina won by a score of 28 to 26. Guilford had previously won from both Davidson and Wake Forest and held U. N. C. to a four point margin. Waring and Bowen did stellar work for Carolina. The next game, with Uni versity of N. C. at Chapel Hill, was a landslide-on the wrong side of the mountain. The Tar heels defeated the Gamecocks 58 to 21. Being on the road, as well as a crippled team, was beginning to tell on Carolina. The first half ended 32 to 3 in U. N. C.'s favor. When the second half opened the Game cocks came back with a rush, scoring 10 points before their opponents could get started. Practically a thousand peop)le attended the game. Means did the b)est work for Carolina. On Friday night Carolina met N. C. State at Raleigh. The North Carolina lads had an unusually heavy team and as the Gamiecocks had an uin usually light one, the latter couIld not make much head way. When the whistle blew; the count was 32 to 12 against Carolina. Waring did the best work for the Gamocnks. MORSE TO LECTURE ON RACE PROBLEM First Address to be Delivered Before Y. M. C. A. March 13 Professor Josiah Morse will give a series of six lectures be fore the Y. M. C. A. on "The Race Problem in the South" on Wednesday evenings begin ning March 13th. A thoro canvass of the student body will be made for enrollment in ,he cause and a strict record of attendance kept. Visitors will be welcome at every lecture. The lectures will be followed by a brief discussion. In connection with this course Dr. Morse will conduct an investigation tour in the city of Columbia. Visits will be made to the negro collegese, schools, churches, places of in rdustry and an investigation of living conditions will be made. The class will be shown negro life as it is in Columbia. This is not an isolated move ment but part of a concerted effort in the educational insti tutions thruout the South to give Southern collegemen a thoro understanding of this vital question and to bring about a better relationship be tween the two races. The "Race Problem" has been made particularly acute by conditions resulting from the war. Mob violence and lynching have become more prevalent. Nearly half a mil lion negroes have gone North within the last two years so that thousands of acres of land in the South are lying idle be cause there are no laborers to cultivate the crops and we were a quarter of a billion dol lars poorer in crop values in 1917 on account of negro mi gration. "The reasons why a college student should study the race problem are increased a thousand times," says Dr. Morse. DEBATING SCHEDULE SAME AS LAST YEAR held in Columbia, presumably in the Columbia theatre. Eligibility for these debating teams is so arrangedl as to give each section of the student b)ody as fajir a chance as possi ble to be represented. Only undergraduates are eligible for the little triagnie. The big tri ahgle and the Georgetown de bates are open to any bona fide memboen of the sturdent bodl.
