Parker H. H. Crosby 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. thin NooP Mieker'idAghtiN a''iwi n a team coached by Metzger. He puts a,~ rres}t p, ')gR and e't a aim er a f o rl; , t r f aman she, 'o bee ihpt d, and wish ing for for a long time. He 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. NEGRO MUST PROVE WORTH.

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 Hay, Jr. 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. Let's get acquainted Use our store for your "hang out" J. S.
