No 11 GYPSY SMIT COME TO Student Association to Con duct Series of Meetings Third Week in December SAILOR-EVANGELIST Public Meeting to be Held Dur ing the Series at Theatre Beginning on December 17 and continuing thru December 21, the Rev. Gypsy Smith, Jr., will conduct a series of meet ings in the university chapel under the auspices of the stu dent Y. M. C. A. Mr. Smith is a Christian man-with empha sis on both the Christian and the man. He is one that appeals to all classes of pople where ever he goes; his work proves that he is especially a winner of men and boys. He has a very winning personality-his wide and varied experience in life gives him a sympathy with and a knowledge of every type of human nature. He spent ten years of his life as a seaman and has been in practically every part of the world-. Mr. Smith is also a gospel preacher. Some one has said that preaching is truth plus personality. Mr. Smith has the consecrated personality and his truth is drawn from the Scrip tures the same truths that have always been used-sin, re demption, regeneration, repen tence, faith. One important fact about this preacher is that he never abuses ministers or churches. He is an evangelist absolute ly free from sensational meth ods. Mr. Smith has three methods: preaching, personal work and prayer. Above all, he is absolutely dependent on the holy spirit for results. Sane evangelism is his motto. He is a lover of souls, filled with that intense yearning and desire to see men born again and made free in Christ from sins. The last town in which he preached, Mr. Smith spoke to more than 85,000 people, 3,000 of whom were converted. One of the leading ministers of this town remarked "he brough (CONTINIiMI) ON P~AOR TIIRRRA.

LLDOGS GA MECOCKS Heavy Gamecock Line Wea kens Under Steady Att ack of Visiting Team GOODMAN PLAYS WELL Many Alumni of Both Instituti ons Attend Game To say that it was a big sur prise would be expressing the feelings of the student body very mildly. But the defeat we received at the hands of the Citadel Bulldogs was that and more. They came up from the City by the Sea with a deter mination to fight to the end, and, if possible, to win the an nual game from the heavier Gamecock team. And with that purpose in view, they out played our team in practically every quarter. We were rather confident of a victory over our opponents, whose record for the season has not been one that would indicate a strong team. Perhaps it was this over-confident spirit, or per haps it was because Crawford and a few others were out of the game and McMillan, tho in the line-up, was badly crip pled, or perhaps it was a thou sand and one other things that caused our attempts to score to be cast to the wind. The two touchdowns secured by the Bulldogs were fairly earned and were the effects of good playing, altho the referee pulled several "bone" stunts during the process of the game and exhibited to those present that he knew practically little more about football than the casual observer. But these stunts did not come when touchdowns were made. How ever, it might have been possi ble for the Gamecock eleven to score more than two goals. It seems that would have been our only chance to win. But all attempts to cross the line of our opponents proved to no avail, and the game was lost to the lighter and more inexperienced team.
