Mr. Gullick has charge of organiz ing units of the Legion in all the South Carolina colleges, and hopes to have this worlk completed in.a short time. He is vice State commander. The desire for such an or ganization at the university hac been prevalent since the open. ing of the session, but promo ters of the plan were unable tc make complete arrangements before last Monday night, Eighty men were present at the first meeting. Prof. Francis W. Bradley, formerly a major in the Ameri can expeditionary forces, wa: made post commander.

CURRELL ATTENDS COTTON CONFERENCE Account of Discussions of Cotton Men all Over the World Dr. W. S. Currell, President of the University, was a dele gate to the World Cotton Con ference, held in New Orleans, October 13-16, and he has giv en us the following interesting account of the convention: One of the most important conferences that has ever met in the South convened in the beautiful Jerusalem Temple of the Shriners on St. Charles Ave nue, New Orleans, Monday morning, October 13th. Dele gates, about 3,000 in number, were present from nearly every country interested in any way in cotton growing, buying, selling, or manufacturing. 'They were divided into eleven groups, growers, gin ners, seed crushers and manu facturers of seed products, compress and warehouse men, merchants, transportation and insurance, banking, government -(CONTINUED ON PAGE 3.) DA VIDSON A COUNT I\ Entire Gamecock Eleven St Gridiron. Black ai For V The game was full of thrills from start to finish and no one knew how it would end until the last whistle blew. Before many minutes had passed the supporters of the heavy David son team began to doubt while Carolina fans gained confi dence in their men with every play. The visitors had the draw during the first and last quarters and the home team had the other two. To say that either team outclassed its op ponent would be a false state ment, but to say that we ought to have won is true. We reason that when a light team hold" a heavy team scoreless until the last minute of play, the light team has played the best ball, especially since it made as many gains as did the heavy team. Anyway, it was the ANNUAL STAFF CHOSEN BY STUDENT BODY Work on Books to Rlegin Immediately-to be Out on Time Cuthbert Johnson, a mem ber of the Junior Law Class, was elected Editor-in-chief of the 1919-1920 Garnet and Black at a meeting of the stu dent body held yesterday. The annual staff should have been chosen last year, but unavoida ble delays prevented such ac tion being taken. Although the editor will be handicapped somewhat by this delay, it is hoped that he will be able to publish the book on time. Oth er officers elected beside Mr. Johnson were: August Kohn, Business Manager; H. M. Lightsey, Assistant Business Manager; E. P. Gaines, Adver tising Manager; J. E. Norwood, Senior Editor; E. Caruthers, Law Editor; Louise Jones and J. J. Stevenson, Student Body Editors: Miss Rembert, Art Ed itor; Coleman Seaborn, Ath letic Editor. fADE ONE FAST GAME ow Form Seldom Seen on id Spann Play Well isitors best exhibition of good football seen on Davis Field in the last three years. Carolina men can not be sin gled out and pointed to as stars of the game for they all played well. Special mention of good playing would require an a;" count of every play of every man, so we will give the whole team the credit and feel sure that we are right. There is no doubt about the Davidson stars. Black and Spann were the mainstays of the Presbyterians. Both were responsible for the gains made thru the Carolina line and Spann is credited with the only touchdown of the game. The Gamecocks will not play again until Thursday of Fair Week, when they meet Clem (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5.)
