Indications Good For Successful Season This Fall. On last Tuesday afternoon Coach Metzger gathered his Gamecocks together for the first spring practice. About 25 men responded to the call and the number is increasing daily. In cluded in the list are several new men who promise to be main stays on the 1920 Gamecock eleven. As several old men will not return to the University this fall there will necessarily be some changes in the old line-up. By reason of this early training Coach Metzger is being able to train some very valuable ma terial to take the places of the stars who are passing out. The results of the nractice so far are very gratifying and the possi bilities of turning out a winning eleven this fall are becoming greater each clay. Practice will continue daily for the next two or three weeks. This is the first time in recent years that the Gamecocks have had spring practice and it is very evident that the policy recently adopted with regard to athletics at the University will result in greater victories for Carolina. . By thus getting an early start it is expected that everything will be in readiness to start the season with a winning rush when autumn arrives. A MESSAGE FOR TODAY FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN "Let *every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of '76 did to support the Constitu tion and laws let every Ameri can pledge his life, his property and sacred honor. Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his chil dren's liberty. "Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap ; let it be taught in the schools, in semi n1'ries, and in colleges; let it be w"itten in primers, spelling M"oks and almanacs; let it be r-'oched from the pulpit, pro e''med in the legislative halls rid enforced in the courts of .i'stice.

TEAM WORK LACKING Locals Win Handily By Scor of 20 to 12. In a slow and rough game the University won its first game played on the local floor this sea son by defeating the College of Charleston. The game was fea tured b!y lack of teamwork on the part of both teams. Indi vidual work and occasional sen-F sational shots served to liven up the contest. Frequent fouls were recorded, against Carolina, due to strenu ous efforts manifested at time. The dlefense of the Birds was consistent thruout, which forced the visitors to resort to long shots from midfloor. For the College of Charleston J1. Haymaker and Martin, the two forwards, were the out standing stars. Between them they accounted for the team's entire 13 points.

The first half was extremely fast and the score was held to a low figure-Caro nla leading by the score of 9 to i.
