voL. XIII UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCT. 2, 1919. ' No 2 CAROLINA LOSES FIRST TO PRESBYTERIANS Capt. Brockinton and Bob Mor man Play Gopd Ball for Gamecocks ' It was a draw from the be ginning to the last two minutes of play, the game with P. C. Nothing exciting happened during the whole contest, the longest gain that was made being a run through Carolina's left side of the line which net ted the Blue Stockings eleven yards. The outstanding fea ture was the extremely poor punting on both sides, said in ffective kicking costing us he game. But in spite of this act there was some good in ividual playing done. Capt. rockinton and ob Moorman, he Carolina ends made several ood tackles and \played good all throughout the entire ame. The work of Jake Ard CAPT. BROCKINTON ey and Waite might also be entioned. The Presbyterian ars were Belk and Richard n on the offense and Eichel erger and D. Blakely on the efense. The only touch down the game was made by lakely on a line play through ft tackle. A great deal of "pep" was own by the student body and olumbia College, both pulling r the home team.- Chicora re ained practically dumb (CONTINUTED ONm PAGE 2.) Y. M. C. A. HOLDS SECOND MEETING Interesting Talk Made by Mr. Jessop on His Experiences in the War The second meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held last night in the University chapel and was attended by a large crowd of students and professors. The speaker of the occasion was Mr. William E. Jessop, who delivered an inspiring address on a very interesting topic of the day. The name of the speaker does not mean much to us here at Carolina, but if we had been one of the English "Tommies" that made the stand against the Turks at the Suez canal, or made the long march through the desert sands from Cairo, through the desert of Sinai, through Pales tine to Jerusalem, we would know about who Mr. Jessop was or is. For the benefit of those who were absent last night we will say that in the days of peace he was Secretary of the Y at Cairo, Egypt but when the war started in 1914 he was placed in charge of the Y work foi the Egyptian army that held the Turks away from the Suez canal and later pushed the Boche allies back through Palestine and captured Jeru salem. There is perhaps no more spectacular series of inci dents that appeals more to the imagination than the campaign that Gen. Allenby made against Jerusalem and we understand that Mr. Jessop was one of the first of the victors to enter the Holy City. Since returning to this country Mr. Jessop has published a series of articles about his adventures with the sand flies, heat, thirst, and Arabs that reminds one of a page from the Old Testament or of some of the tales about Richard Couer de Leon as he led the English troops against Saladin. He. was decorated and honored with the title Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by King George of England; three times cited in British Army orders by Gen. Murray for distinguished serv ice as head of the army Y. M. C. A. mission to Egypt and the Near East. FRESHMAN RECEPTION HELD LAST THURSDAY Students From Columbia's Three Colleges Spend Eve ning of Pleasure What is generally known as the Freshmen Reception was given last Thursday night in the University gymnasium by the Social Cabinet of the University and the Y. M. C. A. Thcrc is no use to say that it was suc cessful; everybody knows that. When Carolina boys meet Co lumbia and Chicora College girls there is only one thing that can posibly result. And on this occasion the result was the same as when they first met. Nuf sed. Large punch bowls were placed at both ends of the hall and the young couples stopped occasionally in the parading to taste of that delici ous nectar handed out by the coeds and the wives of the pro were there also, to guard the fessors. Most of the professors .were there also, to guard the "dealing of the drink" they say; but we were told that they too sipped of the mixture of ginger ale and fruit and sadly bewailed the fact that July first has long since passed. And not the least among them was our president who contin ually urged, "come on in boys, the water's fine." And there was Win Marion and Colie Sea born being led around the hall like innocent babes by mem bers of the C. C. group; even Brockinton forgot the signals to run for a pass, so interested was he in the words that flowed from the lips of his companion. Sometimes we doubt the truth of the term-"Freshmen Re ception." The new men were there, of course, but most of them were gracing the walls and crowding the doorway; however, they'll know how it is done next time. Gerald-"You girls are al ways quarelling. What was the bone of contention this time?" Geraldine - "We were arg uing about your head." Light rerr.arks often *bring dark results. PROF.
