SPORTING BRIEFS. The basketball season whiCh ended last week was hardly as successful as we hoped it would be. However, this only empha sizes our determination to do better next season. Had the plan as originally outlined by the athletic board has been -able to go thru our record would no doubt have been much more en couraging. The heart of the sporting pub lie is turned once more to base ball, and every Carolina man should be delighted with the' manner in which Coach Clarke is getting his Gamecocks into shape for.the college season. Followers of track deeply ap preciate the splendid cooperation being showing the squad by Coach Crawford, who refused to accept the athletic board's offer to pay him for his services. Crawford is an excellent track man himself and knows the game from every angle. Being an old Carolina man and interested in track activities he has offered his services toward renewing in terest in the game. Certainly every man who has the ability, or thinks he has, should be out on the cinder paths every after noon and prove to Coach Craw ford that we are behind him in: his endeavors to produce a win ning track squad. Residents of the city for some reason or other have be come possessed with the idea that the University tennis courts are for use in common. This mistaken impression must be brought to their attention immediately. What is more disgusting than to go to any of the courts and have to wait for a "freeze out," while some town-dwellers are playing to their heart's content, with no consideration for the fact that they are usurping privileges that do not belong to them. Signs should be placed on ev ery court to the effect that each i- for the exclusive use of Uni versity students, and every stu dent should see that these reg ulation are enforced. UNIVERSITY COMMERCIAL RESEARCH BUREAU. The School of Commerce at the University is steadily grow ing and is filling a great need in the State for instruction in this department. In addition to the class room subjects taught, the school will serve as a research bureau to gather re liable, up-to-date information regarding every day business methods and problems. Some .of the subjects on which information, gathered by the research bureau, is now available to South Carolina Business men are: Cost find ig for cotton mills, accounting systems , for cotton ware houses, systems of acc.ounts for' retail groers, operating ex.. been aranged with other colleges of the State.-Exchange, A drive has been staged by the student council of the Uni versity of Cincinnati to raise suf ficient funds to build a large football stadium on Carson Field. Sophomores of the University of Pittsburgh are dissastisfied with the way freshmen have been obeying rules, and at a recent meeting of the class they re solved that freshmen should wear class hats. If the student senate passes favorably on the resolution it will go into effect immediately. Baptists of Birmingham are laying plans for Howard College to grow into a great university, and toward that end they expect shortly to institute in Birniing ham a drive for $500,000 with which to augment the funds they already have.-Houward Crinon The movement among seniors of various colleges to secure ex emption from final examinations is becoming more popular each year. Salem College seniors have just prepared such a request of the faculty, to the effect that those making 80 per cent. on their work shall be excused. The petition is now in the hands of the faculty of that institution. .Kansas leads in the number of students in their own State uni versity in proportion to the pop ulation. of the State.

Who's the man that said the chaplain of the University was the one who got up and looked the student body over, and then prayed for the college ?

LAW ASSOCIATION HOLDS MEETING. The usual meeting of-the Law ;.ssociation was held on last b'1ursdaV night. James DeTre ille acted as presiding judge r.nd the first case docketed was D. W. Robinson vs. City of Co lumbia.

CO.EDS FORM Y. W. C. A. Thru the efforts of Misses Dudley and Denmark of the City Y. W. C. A. a similar organiza tion was formed by the women students of the University last week. The meeting, which re sulted in the formation of the organization, was held in the "study," where an informal sup per was served. Upon comple tion of the meal a short devotion al exercise was held, Miss Mary Graydon presiding. The new organization founded at the niversity will for the pres ent be under the auspices of the Columbia Y. W. C. A. and the meeting will be held on Monday afternoons twice a month. Due to the absence of a woman's dormitory at Carolina, the Y. W. C. A. will be very beneficial in supplying many needs that here tofore could not be furnished women students. Officers were elected as fol lows: Miss Mary Graydon, presi dent; Miss Shirley Black, vice president; Miss Flecher Stack house, secretary, and Miss Eve lyn Gibbes, treasurer. EXCHANGES.
