Carolina students gave vent to
their pent-up feelings on the night
following the big game with a
"shirt tail" paradet up Main
Street to celebrate the victory.
Forming on the campus at seven
O'clock, they proceeded to march
around the campus until their
numbers were swelled to several
itindred students. The remains
of the Tiger were deposited in an
,xpensive casket and Messers Cox,
Kelly, Dowling and Thompson
were elected to act as pall bear
ers. Thus, with the. casket in

Royal Huzzar Band and a long

The dead Tiger in his casket
trembled in his deep sleep when

GREAT DAY
PILES UP BIG SCORE.
Snipes & Co. Too Much for Light
Team. P. C. Goose-Egged
48-0.
"TJ'he ways of providence are
very mysterious; who knows what
another day may bring forth ?"
The answer is-Last Saturday
brought forth another star to be
added to the already brilliant
crown of Carolina, "Rock" Snipes
the pride of Marion. From the
inknown to the famous is indeed
a long jump, but "Rock" easily
made the distance Saturday. He
played a game that will compare
favorable with that of any other
individual seen on Davis Field
"since the mind of man rumneth
not to the contrary." His ground
gaining from scrimmage, his
punting, tackling and scoring
was well above the average. He
is credited with two touchdowns
and ably assisted in others. His
tan headgear was mixed up in
every play that the opposing elev
en ran.
Belk, playing gainst those with
whom he played a couple of years
ago, added more glory to the fame
already won. Waite, calling the
signals, showed himself to b' a
capable general. His irrestible
drive netted much ground, Myer,
the diminutive end for Carolina,
was a whirlwind on defense and on
interference. Holland playing
steady, consistent ball lived up to
his past performances and even
excelled them, altho that was hard
to do. Woodson, another who has
worn the Garnet an(d Blue of P.
C. was put into the fray and nob
ly acquitted himself. McGee,
Ambs, McMillan, Lightsey, Size
1more, Kelly all played football as
it is read about. For the invaders,
mention must be made of Pearce,
who, built close to the ground
which lie covers in a flash, came
