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.

REGULAR SESSION
FOR LAW_ASSOCIATION
Mr. Blackwe, of Local Bar,
Acts as Judge-E. L. 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. Six pages of the present
size contains as much as the
former gight pages.

Mr': H. M. Powell Also Makes
Address.
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

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. The
enthusiasm created by these
talks will be shown at the time
of the annual canvas for funds
to be made soon.

Gamecocks Battle Oppoe to
a Standstill.
N. C. 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. Hoe
