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. For every
10,000 inhabitants in the State,
there are the following number
of students in the respective
State universities; Kansas, 27;
Michigan, 24; Minnesota, 22;
Iowa, 21; Nebraska, 21; Wiscon
sin, 19; Indiana, 15; Oklahoma,
10; Illinois, 8, and Missouri, 8.
In the libraries of all the uni
versities, colleges, and technical
schools of the country there are
20,234,734 volumes. Higher in
stitutions in New York lead with
2,470,185. States following close
ly in order are Massachusetts
2,168,323; Illinois 1,603,670;
Pennsylvania 1,382,418; Ohio
1,248,199, and Connecticut 1,
205,300.
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.
Mr. Robinso'n was testing the
cor.stitutionality of the law
)assed by the General Assembly
in 1919 whereby the city of Co
lumbia put 27 1-2 mills tax on
all real property within the city
limits.
Messrs. S. C. Jeffiries and Geo.
I. Rentz represented the plain
tiff, while Messrs. H. C. Bowman
and A. S. Herbert represented
the defendant.
The court reserved its decision
until some future: time.
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.
