VoL,. XII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C, MAY 27, 1919. No. 7 CAROLINA I WIN SMAL Affirmative Defeats Clemson and Negative the Citadel CITADEL COMES SECOND Each School Gets One Victory During Three Years of Contest The debate between Carolina, Citadel and Clemson, which was held on last Friday, was won by the University. The query de bated was "Resolved, That gov ernment operation of the rail roads should be continued for a period of five years." Carolina's affirmative team defeated the negative team of Clemson, Car olina's negative team defeated Citadel affirmative and Citadel's negative defeated Clemson's af firmative. The debate between the Caro lina affirmative. and Clemson negative teams was held in the Citadel chapel at 4:30 Friday afternoon. A large crowd was present, including the Citadel student body. The Carolina team was composed of E. B. Smith and R. C. Thompson ; J. Stanley Wat kins and Marion Smith were the representatives of Clemson. The decision of the debate was not rendered until 10 o'clock Friday night at the Hibernian Hall, where the Sponsor's Ball was being held. Carolina's negative team and Citadel's affirmative debated in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium at Clemson College on Friday night at 8:30. James P. Sifford and J. E. Norwood upheld the nega tive for Carolina against Craw ford and Sanders of the Citadel. The contest was presided over by the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Clemson. The decision was unanimous in favor of the nega tive team. Citadel and Clemson contested in the university chapel on the same evening. E. F. Farmer and G. B. Patrick of Clemson de bated against J. B. Middleton and E. W. Rugheimer of the Cit adel. M. A. Wright of the uni versity presided. The judges were Rev. A. N: Brunson, Prof. H. C. Davis, Dr. G. A. Wauchope, Rev. C. A. Freed and Mr W. W. Ball. They decided in favor of the Citadel team by a vote of three to two. )EBA TERS L TRIANGLE SENIORS WIN EXCITING GAME FROM FACULTY Spectators Pleased With the Remarkable Plays Offered. They seldom come-back, as was -illustrated, althou rather unsatisfactorily, last Wednes day afternoon when the senior class of the university defeated the faculty-by a score of 21 to 16, approximately. It was not calculated to attract the atten tion of major scouts, but it must have, as it was rumored the next day that Dr. Morse had received two telegrams want ing him to sign up in the big league circle. Some heavy slugging hap pened during the contest and a few spectacular plays were made. Prof. Carson, who was substituted for Dr. Moore in the fourth inning, contributed a fast-run after a high one and would have made a sensational one-hand stab had he been pro vided with a breast protector. Dr. Morse on third played a fine game for the faculty, and had several narrow escapes from taking a few grounders. "Wop" McGowan, the south paw, who pitched for the seniors, came very near sprinkling the terra firma with psychology when he slightly lost his con trol and hit the professor sur la tete. In the outfield Harry Davis captured one or two long flies, showing that he was still in the game. He also handled the big stick very masterfully. "Lem" Aycock covered left field satisfactorily, according to Manager Mercer of the fac ulty aggregation. Over at first was the veteran Dean Baker, who would have puzzled Hal Chase by the way he trapped the wild ones from Vernon Cook at short and Reed Smith at second. Reed played a nice game at second base, at bat, on the bases and in the box, but seemed to be worried over the catching of VanMetre. "Van" accepted some of Mercer's of ferings- and -some he didn't. "Van's" pegging was not a fea ture of the faculty barrage. (CONTIN1TIED ON PAGE 5.) UNIVERSITYI 114th. YEAR CLEMSON TRACK TEAM WINS STATE PENNANT Gamecocks Lose Meet By Large Score of 71 to 28. The Gamecock track team lost the State championship last Sat urday when it was defeated by Clemson College by the score of 71 to 28. This was the last meet of the season and its close left Clemson first in the State with Carolina second and Furman third. The 1919 team was the first that has been "put out" by the university in five years and it is hoped that the start thus gained will greatly help in mak ing a winning team next year. Following is a list of events and winners in the Clemson meet: One hundred yard dash Voight, Clemson ; Mann, Caro lina; Hicks, Clemson. High Jump-Covington, Clem son; Hampton, Carolina; Erwin, Carolina. Broad Jump-Carter, Clem son; Covington,. Clemson; Mann, Carolina. Half Mile-Morecock, Clerr son; Going, Clemson; Hampton, Carolina. Two hundred and twenty yard dash-Voight, Clemson ; Mann, Carolina; Yongue, Clemson. Shot Put-Carter, Clemson; Boggs, Clemson ; Foy, Carolina. Two Hundred and Twenty Yard Hurdles-Carter, Clemson ; Mann, Carolina; Boggs, Clem son. Pole Vault-Erwin, Carolina; Boggs, Clemson ; Carter, Clem son. Four Hundred and Forty Yard Dash-Hicks, Clemson ; Gower, Clemson; Sanders, Clem son. Mile-Going, Clemson ; More cock, Clemson ; Varn, Carolina. Discus-Hampton, Carolina; Boggs, Clemson ; Foy, Carolina. The Tiger boasts that Clem son had the best baseball team in the State because it won from Carolina when two of the best. Gamecock players were out of the game. Thanks, Clemson, for the high regard you have for onr team. TO CLOSE NEXT WEEK. Commencement Program Is Completed GOV.
