Alumni of Both School Come
From all Parts of the State
to See Biggest Contest
of Year
People from every county in
South Carolina are here today
to see the greatest game of the
season in this state. Game
cock and Tiger will meet in
combat, both expecting to show
the other thatit can't be done,
and before the hands of the
clock reach two everybody will
know who's who around these
"diggings."
Coach Foster has been train
ing his men behind closed gates
since the Davidson game, and
if he doesn't pull something
big, we will all be surprised.
The last two games showed up
the quality of our team, and if
Clemson scores at all, she will
have to play better than she
has in any previous game. The
Tigers held Auburn to one
touchdown, but if they expect
to meet as weak a team in Co
lumbia as they did in Auburn,
we're here to tell 'em they are
badly mistaken. Anybody that
really knows the Gamecock
team will bear out this state
ment.
Mr. "Jiggs" Donahue ar
rived yesterday with his team
and will be ready to start play
when Bill Street blows the
whistle at noon today.
Be on hand by 11:30. Re
member, every Carolina man

surrounded by the Garnet and
Black ribbons.

tend Classes at Pacific
Mills
The regular meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday
night was placed in charge of
Mr. Gordon, Secretary, at the
Pacific Mill Y. His remarks
were along the line of social
work and he pointed out many
instances in which the students t
of the university could be of
service to those about them
who have been less fortunate
in life. "Y. M. C. A. work can
be adapted to all occasions and
all conditions. It has its func
tion in war, and in peace. No
two branches of the Asociation
meet with identically the same
problems nor can any two of
them be run exactly in the same
way. Different methods must
be employed everywhere and
the Y has the goods."
Mr. Gordon told of some of
his experiences, both in city
and mill work. The splendid
progress of the Association at
out to those present as an ex
ample of what can be done

branches of work and said that

spent in helping to better the
work of the Mills Y.
