The University Y. M. C. - A. was very fortunate in having Mr. Gene Turner to- appear be fore the usual weekly meeting on last Wednesday night. Mr. Tur ner is back in America for a while after- having spent some time in China as Y Secretary. Before going to China Mr. Tur ner was Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Georgia School of Tech nology, where he -disti 'shed himself by his effective . rk. Mr. Turner made a most in teresting talk on affairs and con ditions in China. This vast land of rich iit undevelope4 resources presents a problem to1 the world today. Japan's policy toward Ohina brought about the student uprising which has created. so much interest and excitement in China lately. This strike spread and played a determining part in the Shantung affair. This re bellion,by students served as An awakening of the colntry in gen eral. No country on earth, Mr. Turner said, looks,with more an flcipation to America's entrY into the League of Nations than does China. China is waiting for sound advice that America only can give. An outline of the Y. M. C. A. program in China was given by Mi. Turner, who told of the quick results -being secured by this great work and hope was e'x pre,sed by the speaker that every American college student would avail himself of the opportunity to further this noble work be gun by the Y. M. C. A. To those students who would volunteer their services for work in the foreign fleld no greater op portunity could be wished for to advance the teachings of Clhris tianity. A very delightful solo.was ren dered by Miss Killingsworth of Columbia. The Y. Mf. C. A. is iideed grateful to Miss Killings worth for her kindness. Guy A. Gullick, president of the Y, ex pressed the thanks of the organ ization on hiaving these young people for the occasion.

Ard and Hammn Bowman Win Civil Case. The Law Association re solved itself into Moot Coqrt dt its regular Thursday night session with Mr. Blackwell, of the local bar sitting as Judge. The first case on docket was that of the Southern Railway Co. vs. The Liberty National Bank, in a suit to force the pay ment of a certified check drawn by a local merchant in favor of the plaintiff, and certified by the defendant bank. The mer chant who was drawer of the check made an arrangement with the shil5per of a carload of meal, and with the bank, whereby the check, altho cer tified, was not to be paid until the meal was inspected and ac cepted. The plaintiff, ably.represent ed by Messrs. Ard and Bow man, took the. popition.as a mat ter of law that the certification of the check made the bank ab solutely liable for its ,payment, regardless of any agreement. The defense was represented by Messrs. Herbert and Paul ing, who made a very credita ble showing, considering the apparently . one-sideq ;;ee which they hjad to argue. A vigorous attack was made upon the stand of the plaintiff, and numerous authorities were cited to show that the bank was not primarily liable, since the delivery of the check was made to the plaintiff before it was certified, and that in such cages the drawer ~was alone liable. Judge - Blackwell compli mented the young aspirants to the bar upon their presentation and defense of the case, and after stating the position taken by the plaintiff as to the law, announced his decision accord ingly. The Law Association is glad to: note an improved attend ance over last year, and hopes to see the same. interest con tinue We would like to say for the benefit of the readers o0f The Gamecock that the present size and number of pages contains as much as the forrner six-page paper.

In place of the regular chapel exercises on last Tuesday morn iug ,a meeting of Red Cross rep resentatives was held, the entire chapel hour being given over to this meeting. A large number of students were present to hear the short tallks made by several Red Cross workeis. The ap proaching Red Cross drive with its vital interest to all young citizens was effectively present ed to the students by Messrs. C. S. Mason afld H. M. Powell, speaking for the Red Cross Pub licity Committee. Loyalty of ex-service men to their savior, the American Red Cross, and appreciation of the wonderful work done "over there" by this institution were aptly illustrated by Mr. Mason, the first speaker and field direc tor of Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. That South Carolina's 1920 roll call must not fall below past stan dards which- place her at the head of the list, was emphasized b5 Mr.: Powell, who supplement e Mr. Mason's remarks.

LACKS DRIVE Partially Biocked Punt Resulte in Counter. With four Varsity men out of the line-up, Metzger's,1fgh ing Gamecocks invaded North Carolina on last Saturday and came within a hair's breadth of coming home victorious i tho the Gamecock's spurs e.s somewhat dulled by the ab sence of those Varsity men, he fought harder than ever, and came near winning 'his fight. Coach Metzger was chuckling all over at his Gamecock's fight. It was great. All North Carolina expected an easy vice tory over South Carolina, and no doubt there was less money jingling in the pockets of cer tain N. C. boys after the game. It was a superb come-back for the Gamecocks after the Geor gia game. To hold the team that held Yale to three touch downs to one touchdown, was some 'feat. And to come with,. in two yards of scoring on this same team was a still greater feat. And at that, the touch down that the Tarheels did make was made from a blocked - punt. They couldn't get thru that Gamecock line in scrim mage-it was impregnable. The Tarheels carried the ball inside Carolina's 15-yard four times, forward passeEr helping them in every .drive, and twice they reached the' Gamecock's 5-yard line, but with their goal thus thr?atened the Game cock's defense stiffened and they stood like a stone wall, the Tarheel offensive breaking it self to pieces against them. N. C. couldn't move. The second quarter was Car olina's. Aided by a 25-yard pass to Brockington and a clev er twisting run by Sizemore, the Gamecocka rushed the lial! to the Tarheel's 5-yard line. Again in this period they reached the 20-yard line. North Carolina's great chances came in the first Quar ter when .Lowe opeped. with passes to Phrarr and Spaiugh ahd-reached the 15-yard line, and again in the third quarter, when line plunges by Aber nathy, Lowe and Pharr brought them to the 15-yard line.
