This is the first track team the Univer sity has put out within the last five years. Harry Hampton has been elected manager and captain for the 1919 season. J. 0. Van Metre, physical direc tor, is assisting in producing a fast and sturdy team. Manager Hampton has ar ranged for a meet with Furman during Easter week on the Uni-, versity field. The Gamecock will meet the Baptists on a re- I turn meet at Greenville some time during April.

Rudy, associate professor of modern languages, will deliver an address in the University chapel on the sub ject of "Languages, What they are and ought to be." Among many very interesting remarks the speaker will show how an American Signal Corps officer, who does not know a foreign language, is nevertheless able 1 to transcribe ciphers of a for-,1 eign language like XNPTF, NVXYZ, etc., although he hasi no key. Dr. Rudy is a very dis- 1 tinguished lecturer, and this oc casion is looked forward to with delight by those who know him. This address has been de livered at other places with much success. There will be no admission charged. The triangle debate between Carolina, Florida and Tennes see will be held again this year, also the triangle between Car alina, Citadel and Clemson. Thie subjects for both debates have not yet been decided upon, nor has the exact date of the former. The little triangle will be held on May 10th. Contrary to the former custom, each team will debate on foreign ter ritory. It is hoped that this ar rangement will prove more sat isfactory than the previous ne.
