GAMECOCKS RETURN
FROM UP-STATE TRIP
Basketb.il Team Plays Four
Games on Foreign Courts.
PLAYERS ILL ON TRIP.
University Quintet Wins From
Furman, But Loses to Wof
ford, Clemson, and
Presbyterian.
The Gamecocks put up a fine
show on their up-State trip, but
was unable to carry off the lau
rels against Wofford, Clemaon
and Presbyterian College. The
loss of three games, in addition
to the defeats on the local floor
last week against Wofford and
Clemson, will no doubt put
Carolina out the race for the
State championship.
A review of the - achieve
ments of the Gamecocks during
the season that is drawing to a
close shows that altho they
have not come out with the big
end of the score, they have put
up a game fight and, fought to
the finish in every game.
The University quintet was
handicapped on its trip to the
western part of the State by the
fact that several star players
contracted illness and was
hardly able to put up an exhi
bition in keeping with the form
they had developed.
The Furman Game.
Carolina defeated Furman
without much difficulty in the
first game of the trip by the
score of 28 to 16. The ability
of the Gamecocks to find the
basket caused the defeat of the
Furman quintet. Furman did
some good passing, but was
weak on shooting goals. Foy
and Wallace did the best work
for Carolina, while Waters and
Quisenbury were the best per
formers for Furman.

The Wofford Game.
Carolina lost to Woffoi by
the close score of 25-21. In
spite of the fact that the Uni
versity boys were ahead at the
end of the first half, the Wof

Defeat.
The Clemson basketball
team defeated the University
of South Carolina in the latter's
gymnasium on lWat Thursday
night by the score of 24 to 10
The feature of the game was
the poor offensive of both
teams, and the passing of both
teams:being off color. - Had -the
Gameaocks been able to shoot
goals more accurately they
would have had an equal
chance with the visitors in the
opening period, they having
had as many chances to cage
the ball as did the winners.
During the second half the
Tigers did some excellent pass
ing and good team work en
abled them to assume a safe
lead which could not be over
come by the University lads.
Many fouls on Carolina were
converted into points by Clem
son.
Colbert, Coles and Newman
did the best work for Clemson
while the defensive work of
Waite featured for Carolina.

STREETS AROUND UNIVER
SITY TO BE PAVED.
The City of Columbia is daily
working on the streets. around
the University preparatory to
paving. Green, Sumter, Bull
and Pendleton St,reets will be
finished during the summer.
University property will be con
siderably enhanced in value by
the paving of the streets around
the institution. The University
will probably be required to pay
half the cost of the paving.
Students will welcome such an
improvement in the streets for
rainy weather means many dis
agreeable splashes with the
streets in their 'present condi
tion.

In a slow gpe featured by
roughness on bot sides and poor
playing Wofford flege defeated
the University in a ggne of bas
ketball on the latter's court on
last Saturday night by a score
of 18 to 11.
The first half was almost en
tirely Carolina's so far as keep
ing the ball was concerned. The
woeful inaccuracy in goal shoot
ing did not allow the locals to
convert their many chances into
points. In spite of the fact that
Carolina started off with four
points from fouls the first half
ended 7 to 6 in favor of Wofford.
In the last round the visitors in
creased their lead continually.
Both teams showed up poorly,
but the lack of efficiency in goal
shooting on the part of the locals
was appalling.
Vaughan and Waite played
well for Carolina, while Hecklin
did the best work for the visi
tors, with Lindsay leading the
scoring.

Sweep in 1921."
Coach Metzger's football
squad is down at real. work
now and the boys are getting
into condition to begin real
football tactics as soon as Sep
tember rolls around.
Passing, blocking,, charg
ing and various fundamentals
connected therewith is the pro
gram of daily practice since i
beginning ten days ago.
Professor James's psycholog
theory is true- that one lean
to swim during the winter, we
have every reason to believe
that a husky Gamecock football
squad will have abundant stim
uli to learn the strenuous game
during the summer.
New material is showing up
splendidly and bids fair to re
sult is some efficient players for
this fall. Coach Metzger Is
particularly pleased with Jack
son, whom he considers a real
"find." The big freshman
weighs 190 'and runs well with
the ball. He gets passes extra
well and has every abilit
needed to develop a fast back
field man.
Practice will continue dail,
for one week more.

ISSUES BULLETIN.
Dr. Reed Smith of the Depart
ment of English has just re
leased a bulletin of special value
and interest to high school teach
ers bf the State. The bulletin
is published by the Extension
Department and is entitled
"Poetry in the High Schools."
The purpose of this bulletin
is to aid teachers in the instruc.
tion of poetry in the high schools,
which phase of preparation has
heretofore given considerable
difficulty to most teachers. Be
ginning with the fundamenta
and extending on thru a tho1
discussion of poetry itself ti
bulletin is very interesting thri
out.
The bulletin opens with a fore
word by Prof. Patter,on Ward
law, Dean of the School of Edu
cation, with a tribute to the value
of Dr. Smith's production. This
bulletin will be welcomed by all
high school teachers and pupils
in the State. It fills a very urgent
need for an open discussion on
the subject of poetry and will
prove to be both interesting and
beneficial.
There are 21,658 teachers in
the colleges and universities of
the nited States, with 18,103
teachers in professional schools.
