Alex Waite, Carolina's out
standing athlete, Was elected cap
tain of the 1922 football team at
a meeting of block "C" men on
Saturday.
Waite has proven himself a
stellar performer in all branches
of athletics; he has won a letter
and two stars in football: a let
ter and a star in basketball and
track. At the Blue Ridge Con
ference he showed himself to be
a wonderful swimmer, earning for
himself the name of the "human
fish." In track he is noted for
his ability to hurl the shot; in
1920 he won third place in the
shot put at the S. I. A. A. meet
in Atlanta.
But football is Waite's forte;
playing at tackle and half-back
it is almost iipossible to find his
e<qual.
Alex first played football on
the Erie, Pa., ligh School. His
father is a Methodist minister in
Columbia. Waite is the man to
lead the Carolina team of next
year that bids fair to be the
strongest team in her history.
At the last meeting of Athletic
Council twenty letters and stars
were awarded for football includ
ing the manager's letter to Allan
Miimms, retiring football mana
ger. A star and a crescent was
given to Capt. Gressette and
stars to the following players
who have previously won their
letters: Wheeler, Brockington.
Lightsey, McMillanl, Waite, Size
more and Turner. TIh'e block
"C" was iwarded: Meyer, Wood
son, Ambs, Snipes, Edwards,
Chappell, McGee, Belk, Ilolland,
Bartelle and Kelly.
Robert 'I. Kern of Darlington
was elected manager of tihe foot
ball team for next year.
Mr. Ednmunds ind Mr. Ehrlich
were appointed is a committee to
arrange for a banquet for the
football team. At this time the
gold footballs and sweaiters will
be given.

LOOKING BACK OVER
THE FOOTBALL SEASON
(By TA).)
"LI gilerre est fini." Tile 1921
football sealsonl is over, but far
from being forgotten. It will be
a long time before the records
made this year pass into the ob
livion of things gone by. TIhc
story as w-ritten by the ganleiest
luaiecock that ever graced a
poultry-yard is traced in indeli
ble ik in the minds of all Caro
fitna slpporters and of fandoi inl
general. Not witlhoult sacrifice.
not without strenuous exertion
extending over a long period of
time, was the Itappy clI max
wroight to the pleasant tale.
Still fresh in our ilminds, seem
ingly only yesterday, did we see
the jir(s trot u1pon the gridirO
in their first test of strength
against "Dode" Phillips antd Ihis
aggregation onl that, first (ay of
October. And well did the new
born11 Gamecock iquit himself.
This was tle first of the victories
to go down in oir records, with
the credit being Carolina 13, op
ponlelts 7.
Then cam,t1te tie trial against the
Newberry Indians. With the
narroW Margin of 7-0 tle Ga,Ime
cock rested well that night of
October 8th, for again strangers
had come into her back-yard, to
be sent htomle with the tale told
against them. Blit not without
a fight was the gamtte won. Ile
NewberrI-Y warriors l1u1 plent v of
fight and stickability, and the
vamile back int the second half witht
at drive that camle nlear-scoring,r
but the fitnal force was not equal
to te( h lefense and offense that
Metzger's proteges displaye<d.
Again the book was opened anld
inl it was recorded the colint,
Carolina 7, opponents nothitng.
And now on the 15tl of Octo
ber the boys from tle ohI ntorthl
state came <lown to try their hand
at Stopping the victories of the
boys frotm thte south state. FTey
dhid their best, but that was not
enouight. Ily an titfortunate
piece of luck, a forwatd pass was
futmbled right otn ottr goatl linte b)y
biackfieh(l mantt. Let it lbe salid itn
patssintg that thtis is the first timne
in imaniy years thtat thtis pl1ayer
hats drtoppled a pass sent to hitm.

PEARL!
DR. REED SMITH SPEAKS
AT Y. M. C. A. MEETING
"Football is over--what next ?"
was the subject of a very inter
estiig (h(lresS giveln by )r. Reed
Sinmith beflore the students of tihe
University at the regular Y. M.
C. A. mleeting Wednesday night,
November 31st.
)r. Smlliti )egan Iis a((1r'ess by
pointing out to the stuldents that
there is a tendency to relax whenl
the football Season is over, and
he illulstrated it as a coming to
"A Dead Center." This, lie ex
plailed by stating that football
is the Imiost intenlsely exciting
gale which is played today;- Ie
Said that it called forth our em1o
tions and concentration and when
the season closes we then have to
turn our attention to some other
feature of college life, or let it
sink away into obscurity. lie
exhorted the stuidents not to set
tle down on "A Dead Cener" and
quit Work.
)r,. -nlth said that the great
est feature of college life is
temptation a nd the greatest
temptation is the temptation to
excellence. lie pointed out many
instances of splendid response by
muen of his acqu1iailntanlce Since he
has been a student and a teacer
in co!leges of our country.
Or. Smith stated that the dif
ferince betwetn a distingiiished
success and a melediocre one is only
margin. le said we did not will
by miles but by feet or inches and
he urged every student to stick to
the job until hie had put forth
enough effort to demand a sue
cess, or to call forth the margin
which is the winning feature.
Dr. Smith likens the average
college curriculum to a grinld
stonle. le said that the instruie
tors sharpen oir intellet oi the
cuirriehin as a carpenter sharp
ens his tools oii a stone. I he
pointed out that they Imst labor
hardest upon the subject less
agreeable bevaluse it is only u1pon
li:1rd41 tlintgs that we hecome men.
We caniiot sharpen tools with
velvet., nor can we sharpen our
intellect with solme subject that
is very easy anII(d agreeable for us,
lie said.
He Iirged ever-Y st'uldent present
to make an examination of him
self anld see if he is the kind of
fellow that he would like to as
sociate with, see if lie p)ossf~ese
,the qualities of a geitleimanli-see
just how lie stood!
lHe conehuded by saying that
the most desirable anld best q uaml
ities of a stuidenit on 'this campus)ii
are: (1) F'riendship; (2) 1Ilonor:
(3) Seeing it thIirough; (4) D)oing
somnethi ing for others.
Mr. Mattesoii add(edl greatly to
the program with a vocal solo.
