THE FA l'he Kick that ruined COACH METZGER URGES CO-OPERATION Expects Great Things in Football This Fall. The Editor, The Gamecock: It is not a far call until football next fall and as college will soon close for the summer, I want to take this opportunity of talking to all the students again about our prospects on the gridiron for 1921. It is most difficult to impress peo ple by writing. But what is put into this short article is of utmost im)ortance and concern to every son of South Carolina. It is your coach's hope that in reading these few lines they will strike home even harder than any words he ever spoke directly to all or any one of vou. The South Carolina football sit uation isn't anything to worry over. We have the neucleus for a fine eleven from the men left over last fall. There are two or three men, who (lid not play last season, who should win positions this fall. 'T'here are preparatory school play ers from the state who will he with us. But that does not make an eleven, the sort of an eleven we must have to go ahead from where we left off last year. What we want and what you stu (dents alone can give is the material tI:at is going to college next fall, boys from your home towns. We must use whatever influence each of us is able to summon to convince those boys that vyhat is best for them in an edlucational line is best for themi. There is a good (deal of effort being directed in the state to have promising football men enter other institutions. Now if a stu (lent who knows those boys can't convince them the University of South Carolina is the b)est pliace for him to obtain an edluucationi, that student lacks "get up and get." Facts speak for themselves. It is surpirising what you can (10 with them when you try. One of the big arguments you will encounter is that such and such a h)oy fin(ls that it will br chapne MOUS FIELI the Clemson Tiger-- This Year's victor% to go elsewhere to college than to Carolina. I imagine this is so. It is also cheaper to walk to Charles ton than to take a train. But one who places value on time has no ar guments over which way to travel this distance. I think you will get my pomt. I have been asked whv I do) not travel about the state of South Carolina try"in;g to induce schools boys who play a good game of foot ball to enter the University of South Carolina. There is only one an swer: It just isn't being done.i When I have to run about like a gW s Gameco wih wayko ravCle Swepthis Fasace hnkvull Ie up" poiing rsecsi.odrt g ae Igrea del wfharm 1Suchno tracte areu thestatibe ofouthl thes wobls agd gatiime of fthis bally sort,te the cuisit of uhg Crlina that r is onl yac on beyn swer understd bing ofalanoea judgent. he twhoneabutrpose of o~ oaurestake will oid ahs tCep tto s, htwe Thiy kee te am asg cleagn basetsholl scutto"sg IActiwore thesfohllle for allm ) GOAL .- .

There is no such thing as winning a place because you held one in pre vious years. ''he best eleven men will play each game as it comes. Coach McGowan will tell vou the same thing. We are out for action and results and we intend to gain them if possible. Fellows, its a grand old game and the satisfaction of winning a big one is worth all the energy votu can give to that end all summer long. I'll be at my old111 home at Bedford. Pennsylvania, all sunlmer. so any of Vou write me there and-what's better-drop inl if y(it happen to' be up that way. Got a quarterback lined1 up for 1940.

Will be mighty glad to see von this fall. Sol Metzger. ASST. COACH McGOWAN WRITES INTERESTINGLY Expresses Confidence in Ability to Defeat Clemson Again University of Va. May 12, 1921. A. Leslie Wells, Editor "Tlhe Gamecock" Unliv'ersity* of S. C. Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: It is with real p)leasure that I look forward to being back at Car olina next fall as assistant foot ball coac h. Since leaving in 1914 my experiences have been some what varied, including teaching, "soldiering," studying law, and( coaching foot-blall at a Southern Unliversity, but through the few y'ears that have elapsed, mv~ thoughts have often gone back to Carolina and to D)avis' Fiel. I think the authorities are to l)e c-ommetl(lel hihlbh fora..ing in charge of foot-ball a coach and man of the standing and integrity of Sol Metzger. He ranks high among the coaches of the east, and is be yond all doubt incomparable in the South. I am sure we will work well together next fall in turning out a real foot-hall team for Car olina--one that will have no fears of the Clemson "Tigers," and will establish the long hoped for re cord of twisting his tail two years in succession. I know the spirit of Carolina, and know that every man will be behind the team, for the "(amecock" never dies. Yours for a successful season, \\'illiam I;. Mc(Cowan.

Smith Offers Correction Djear Mr. Il,ditor: Allow me to call y'our attention to a mistake in y'our edlitorial ap pearing in last week's Gamecock. You state that "we, as a student body, have gone on recordl as fa vorinig open fraternities."' I beg to state that the student bodv did( not go on recordl as being in favor of openi fraternities, but asked that the matter be left with the Board of Tlrustees, their action in said imtter to be left to the will of the miaj ority o'f the student body, which was to lie (leterminedi at a later meeting. I refer to the stu dent body meeting of (antuary, 1920.
