Suggs Cornelia Huggins Everything considered, it was a gala week for Carolina. Clemson students smiled in the- face of defeat. They took it in fine spirit. Again that low-flying line of Gamecocks stopped the enemy in the shadow of their goal. The Tiger could not go over. It was Carolina's day twice last week.' Following the down fall of Clemson's varsity, her scrubs were also turned back in defeat. The Gamecocks fought more like tigers than the so-called Tigers did last Thursday. The Tigers should charige their name to something like cows. It, is a pity the cadets had their visit to Columbia marred by two football defeats. But it had to be. The hand-writing was on the wall. The Masons of Texas are to build a million dollar girls' dor mitary at the University of Texas. Lucky co-eds, those girls are. There is somebody looking out for their interests.

"Early Recognition for Mex ico." We are glad to learn that our Southern neighbor is about right side up once again.

Ment a to explanation, e goes.1 In a 'recent issue. of: th paper, we, with Paris-like folly, scribbled 4 paragraph which brought about unlooked-for con ditions. 'But we do not retract our editorials. We desire, how ever, that the student -body of Columbia College for Women', which in convention* assembled, decreed that Clemson colors should be worn in lied of the all conquering Garnet and Black, interpret "we" as the editor, and hold him wholly responsible for the paragraph which, called forth that most deplorable de cree, and not the. student body of the University of South Car olina.

Carolina's verdict is fifteen rahs for the Presbyterian queens and one less than sixteen rahs for those queens of Dixie at C. C., as Pas been demonstrated on the home, gridiron.'. And, while speaking of rahs, we wish to tender to C. C. and Chicora our sincere appreciation of the loyal support they gave the Garnet and Black in last Thursday's game. To THE MEN WHO BROUGHT US METZGER One year ago athletics were fast sinking into oblivion at the University of South Carolina. All thru what was propably the most disastrous athletic year in the history of' the institution, students and alumni looked and longed in vain for some kind of athletic victory. Carolina won one football game, and that one from Erskine by the score of 6 to 0. She lost eyery' other single game. The'n came the basketball season which ended in a complete failure. A few games only were won. The base ball season- could not 'be called a howling success. At the end of the session, a few men who had the interests of Carolina next to their hearts, sick of the coaching system at Carolina, decided to make a change. Foster's star had set. These men determined to put Carolina, back on the athletic 'map and keep her there. So they set about _the task of <>b taining onie of the three greatest coaches of football in. 'America for Cerolina. Their friends laughed at them and said that it could not be -done. But these feiv men had set their mark for Carolina and they got that coach in the person of Sol Metzger. And what has Metzger done? In six weekA with hia coaching sys.. tem, the Gamrecocks have lHeked three South Qarolina teams, orns of them Carolind's\strongest' andi most bitter rival for years, and has lost only two ote+ gaes thea t rt G41'o h e$t of fate. In other 'Wo'rds Mez ger has put Carolina back on the athletic map in loss than two tnonths. In another year, Caro lina will be recognized as one of the most powerful colleges in the S'outh in the gridiron game, as .well as in other athletic de partntents. And tls will be due to the men who broaght us Metz ger. A health and eternal glory to those men. A COMFORT. The'centipede has a hundred legs, The' cricket two.

ROYAL SOCIETY HOLDS CONFERENCE AT LONDON. Future of International Catalog of Scientific Literature Con 'dered. An international conference of delegates from important scientific academies to consider the future of the International Catalogue of Scientific- Litera ture has just been held in Lon don at the invitation of the Royal Society. Representatives were present from 14 countries. The American delegates were Dr. R. M. Yerkes, Prof. L. E. Dickson,. Prof. L. P. Eisenhart, Mr. G. C. Gunnell, and Dr. S. I. Franz, representing the Nation al Academy of Sciences, the Na tional Research Council, and the Smithsonian Institution. Up to the time of the war, mor'e Than 30 countries were joined in 'u,ndertaking' the in desing and publishing the index of the scientific literature of the world. Fourteen annual issues, each of severdteen volumes, have been published covering the .lit erature from 1901 to 1914. The results of the war together *ith the much increased cost of print.. ing and publishing have inter rupted the undertaking and no index of scientific literature pub lished since 1914 has been is sued. The conf.erence decided that even though a change rnay be made in the future in' the method of indexing and of pubb lishin~g the index, a's has 'often been suggested, it is' impe,ra tively necessary to continue the present method until the scien tifle' literature published up to the end of 1915 and possibly also that up to the end gf 1920 has beep catatoged. 694 Loa, 4 E*chl>ige Banl Building Special Attehtion to University Students "Special Service Hair-cut 35c; Coime ii Guaranteed Shave 20c.
