We knew that team would
be irresistable All the time.
There with the push on the of
".,' lensive:; there with the "throw
'em back" on the defensive.
Speaking of brick walls, it's
awbndet those Terriers didn't
daash: their brains out against
that brick wall formed by those
fighting Gamecocks.
-.With the backing of the stu
dent body, which was given in
full -neasure in last Saturday's
game, that Metiger-coached
fobtball team can't help but
win.
The result of the Clemson
P. C. game doesn't speak very
well for the Tigers. We be
lieve their motto was a clean
sweep. They are falling down
on that motto mighty early in
the gane. But for a turn' of
ate they would have met de
feat. We are not boasting any,
but we believe that Tiger growl
won't be heard much after the
Clemson-Carolina game.
Outweighed almost man to
man, the Gamecocks outplayed
the Terriers at every point in
last Saturday's game. It was
speed versus weight, and speed
won. Weight counts, but it
counts very little without
speed. The Terriers had one
man, Turnipseed, who de
veloped spurts of speed at
times, but they were few and
far between. The Gamecocks
didn't give them a chance.
A man of power, of push, of
- strong determination, aman
who, tho he bawls you out, is
greatly liked, a man containing
all the qua4ities that go to make
up a great football coach and
a real man, this is Metzger.
With these qualities in the
man who is Carolina's football
coach now and for the next,five
years. how can Carolina have
any lother than a winning
team? She must have a win
ning team. A coach like Metz
ger wflj fo)rce that result.

puts his *ho1d befi''* into'his
work. He does not believe in
going half the' 4vy. It's' all
the way or stay where you are
with him. He expects every
man to put himself into the
game, and if he doesn't, he gets
out.
'To look at Metzger's, eyes
when he is coaching, we are re
minded of a wild horse of Ari
zona.. They blaze like coals of
fire. This fire, innate in him,
will soon take root in the team
he is coaching. ''That teanr will
become one irresistable force
in a game. The result is evi
dent. It will play the game,
and will play the game to win,
and it WILL win.
CONCERNING COOPERATION.
We have returned to Caro
lina this year with the bright
est prospect in our histor.y for
a great year. We are indee,d
elated, over the new spirit that
envelopes our campus this year
as we return with a determina
tion to maintain those stand
ards and to promote those
ideals which have constantly
been the erndeavor of this his
toric old institution. . Having
had .portrayed to us very forci
bly the need of a greater cola
lege spirit, we. have come to
realize that this new spirit must
be kept keenly alive.
It is gratifying to see the fa
vorable outlook for better ath
letics at Carolina, and other
college activities correspond
ingly. We must reach the con
clusion that a cooperative spirit
made such an outlook possible.
Cooperation on the part of
alumni, and faculty, cannot fail
to bring about the desired re
sults.
Let every student of the Uni
versity undertake to do his part
at all times toward building a
greater Carolina. Our alumni
have shown us what coopera
tion can do, and it is up to the
students to show a like spirit.
Get behind the football team,
the "Y"; boost the literary so
cieties and all other organiza
tions, and, better still, make
every effort to put down any
friction of any sort that may
arise. Let's all pull together,
and it will be surprising to note
the quick results.

extremely superstition has been
handed down to this enfeebled
race since the olden days of
slavefi. We will say that the
negroes' civilization began at
his slavery. The ignorant mas
ter was in a great part respon
sible for the negroe's condition
civilly, and for his low status
today in the upward move to
higher attainment and civiliza
tion. The 'negro is no advent
urer. He is fearful, and in a
great part he is submissive and
docile. He has inherited thiese
things from the awful state of
his slavery.. The negro in order
to rise must unshackle himself.
He nust loosen the bonds that
have held him as a worm of the
dust for so long a time and
declare to the world that he is
not a treacherous- and absolute
ly ignorant human being., And
one thing he must do in order
to attain greater things- and ac
complishment-he must prove
to the white man that he is
honest. Higher civilization in
America today demands the
best that a race can express.
The race that does not achiece
the highest ideals from the
standpoint referred to in the
outset can not expect to rise to
the pinnacle of civilization with
the contemporary race-Willie

THE LOVELINESS OF
AU1TUMN DAYS.
Gold and crimson autumn,
with her lap-filled treasures!
Ripened days of departed sum
mer. Sweet and smiling season
telling of accomplished tasks
and victories won. Days of ma
turity and mellowness. The
brilliant colors of summer have
given place to more sober tints.
It is the time of softening -lights,
lengthening shades, variegated
woods, lovely landscapes and
tranquil skies. Earth, sky and
sea are transformed into a new
beauty, all nature joins in a con
spiracy of rest,. peace and con
tentment, and at the close of
the day the sun goes down in
royal splendor of purple and
gold. Queenly autumn, in her
many colored robe, speaks elo
quently of life, opport;unity,
growth, maturity and transi
tion.-Grenville Kleiser.
