vol,. XIII UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., NOV. 6, 1919. No 7 CLEMSON TIGERS WIN FROM CAROLINA TEAM Light Backfeild of Game cocks Unable to Score More Than Once Mr. "Jiggs" Donahue wore a doeful look on his face last Thursday afternoon. He was dejection and disappointment personified. To one who was not acquainted with the Tiger coach it seemed that nature had frowned on him and had given to his countenance the appearance of one who wished to expire immediately. And all this gloom, this sadness, this "unnecessary" feeling was caused by the eleven Carolina men who held the South's sec ond best team to three touch downs and scored one them selves just to show that it could be done. It was a great game; full of thrills, bad decisions, fumbling and quite a great deal of good playing. Both elevens fought hard for the bigger count, but Clemson had the odds and won. Five men stood out above all the rest as individual stars of the game. Burney Smith, play ing end for the Gamecocks, put up the best exhibition of de fensive work seen in Columbia since the days of Luke Hill. Fast and sure-footed, he ran into practically every play and time after time eluded the Clemson blackade to throw Ti ger backs for losses. His brother, Ed. Smith, playing his fourth game against Clemson, showed the pluck and grit and fight that go to make a real football man. His attack on the opponent's line could not be withstood and often he made the way clear for the Carolina backs to gain ground. Goodman, at tackle, was the other man who helped to keep the score down. He out punt ed Harris by a large margin and his playing in the line was gratifying to all Carolina sup porters. Armstrong and Banks play ed the best ball for Clemson, each one of them making long gains thru the Gamecock line and each being credited with (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2.) UNIVERSITY TO SEND GULLICK AS DELEGATE Carolina Man to Attend Con vention of Y. M. C. A. in Detroit The Fortieth International Convention of the Y. M. C. A. comprising the associations of the United States, Canada and Mexico meets in Detroit, Mich igan on Nevember 19th and continues thru Sunday, Novem ber 23rd. This convention will be the first great gathering of the Y. M. C. A. since the conclusion of the war and it is one of un usual importance. The North American Associations have contributed in a very striking way and on a gigantic scale to the activities related to the wel fare of the men in the army and the navy, undertaking the most stupendous program in a moral, religious, social and physical way that has ever been undertaken by one body The experiences of the war work has and will have a very vital relationship to the home work. Undreamed of oppor tunities in cities and rural dis tricts, in mill towns and col lege centers, and insistent re quests from home and abroad confront the association at this time. These conditions will make this meeting of the Inter national convention one of the most important that has ever been held. Mr. Lanham, of the State Y. M. C. A., spoke to the council on the convention Monday night and made stronger than ever the conviction that the University Y. M. C. A. must send a representative to this convention. Guy Gullick was unanimous ly selected to this position. Mr. Gullick was almost a stranger to the student body at the first of the year, but in the short time that he has been here, by his whole hearted support to all student activities and by his initiative and energy in pushing all things that will help the University he has already made a place for himselff in the student body and it would have been hard to have select ed a better man.

CO-OPERATIVE CANTEEN OPENED BY STUDENTS Gullick and Perry to Operate Store on Fifty-Fifty Basis of Profits The Co-operative store is at last a reality. For years we have dreamed and hoped for something of this nature and now we have it. Guy Gullick and James Y. Perry have un dertaken to satisfy this need of the students and are now operating a store in the Flinn Hall building, where the R. 0. T. C. canteen was stationed last year. All kinds of sup plies are carried in their stock, including stationery, candies, tobacco, soft drinks and in ad dition to these, the manage ment has installed six good pool tables for the use of the students during their vacant hours. The store is operated on a fifty-fifty basis, one-half of the profits going to the student fund and the other half to the two managers. A board of directors, co.nsisting of two men from each class, has charge of the distribution of this fund and the entire man agement of the canteen. It is proposed to keep the store open from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. every day in the week ex cept Sunday. Every student of the university should give his support to the canteen and help make it a permanent or ganization. It is a student ac tivity and deserves the support of the entire student body. Final arrangements have now been made for the annual debate between the universities of Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee The query se lected is, Resolved, That boards of arbitration with com pulsory powers should be es tablished to settle disputes be tween organized labor and capital. The debate is to be held on the third Friday night in March, 1920. Our affirma tive team will meet the Tennes see negative at Gainesville Fla., our negative will meet the Florida affirmative at Knox ville, Tenn., and the Tennessee affirmative will meet the Flori da negative at Columbia.
