This issue of the Gamecock is he ing ptublished with especial reference t< the hig game of the football season Carolina and Clemson, that is to be played at the Fair today. Ordinarily our paper is a sheet that is publishet for campus consumption only, but foi today we wish to assume a bolder not< and appear for the two schools that arc staging the South Carolina footbal classic this mrning We, make no pretence of covering our desire for a Gamecock victory, but we are attempt. ing to make our articles as nearly uniprejudiced as possible for the bene. fit of all who will read them. If w< win we will go into raptures all out own inl the seclusion of our own cam pus, but now we are trying to ge out a sheet that will be representativc of Carolina and the best that Carolina stands for in sportsmanship-and it good will for Clemson everywhere ex cept on the athletic field. We ar trying to give the records of the twc teams and something of the spirit o the two institutions and the big gami that they are putting on today. There were times when some unplea santness was considered the order ol the day for the students of the riva instiutions but these times have passed we hope for good, and rivalry on the football field does not have to extend as far as hard feeling between th( sutipporters of the two colleges. 'I'h Tiger is today trying to regain his los piestige and the Gamecock is just a (leternined to keep the edge that ho has gained in the games of the las two years. We don't know which o the two will be successful, but wo: hope, in any event, for a good ganm( with a FRIlINDI,Y spirit of rivalry no matter what may be the outcome We are both state institutions and si we would like for it to be the TIGlVI AND CAM ICOCK FOR IACI OTHlER, except when they are actuall: opposed on the field. S. 0 General Football Review. Once again we take our pen in ham to spill, or spread some more choic dope on le general outlook of foot hall throighoit the South. As we hav s;iid in former issues we are not ex perieiiced (lopesters, and about all w can do is to give a brief review of las week's ganes and let those more cx perienced thani ourselves do the figur lng. Pr'obaly te umost important of th intersectional games of last Saturda was the battle between Centre and aHr vardl. tFans throughout the fountry hay been looking forwvard wvith interestt this cointest, to see i f the Praying (Calonels would repeat their perfor manice of last season, or whether th Crimson would take its revenge. No, they know !A series of dlisasteron fiumbles lost the game for the Colonel in the first half, but ini sp)ite of the lea Hlarvardl had piled up they came bac and outgeneralled the Crimson elevei scoring a touchdown in addit ion to tli field goal they acquired earlier in tI' gai",e. H-arvardl seemed to have an in caiiny ability to recover fumbles, at three times within the first fifteen miu utes of play they carriedl the pij skin across Centre's goal line. Hos' ever, in the final periods of the gan the Colonels dlevelope(d a drive that tI Harvard eleveni coutld nuot stop, and nally Covington, who is fillinig "Bi McMillan's shoes :.n quarter, drove ov for a toutchdown. Had the Fates beu kinder there is no doubt that the sco would have been 10 to 3 with Centre< the long end. "Red" Roberts and Co iitgton were the shining lights of ti game but they alone could not at the entire Crimson eleven. .One the features of the game and one th bewildered the Harvard warriors w the peculiar shift used by the Colonel the players lined up is regular pot tions and then turned at right angl and in lock step to the right or left. { The shrewdness and keen football edu cation of Harvard was shown by the remarkably short time in which they mastered this puzzling shift. Centre lost indeed, but she is glorious in de feat. While Centre and Harvard were bat tling in the stadium at Cambridge, the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech was fighting a game but losing fight against the Navy at Annapolis. Smash ing (town Tech's much vaunted "jump shift" and otherwise slashing offensive, and at the same time unleashing a more consistent attack themselves the Mid (lies defeated the Tech e!even for the first time this season. Tech was not Mnly outplayed but outgeneralled, and the famous "Red" Baron, all American hal f back, was practically powerless against the steel defense of the Navy team. Both the Navy's touchdowns were made in the first half, one be ing made by straight football, the oth er being the result of one of the many forward passes completed by the Mid (lies. Although outplayed by the Generals the West Virginia university team held Washington and Lee to a 12 to 12 tie Saturday. The Mountaineers made their scores in the first half, one when Graham recovered a fumble on the one yard line, and the other by a steady drive (own the field. In the second pe riod the Generals opened up a slash ing attack and succeeded in tying the score. Some dope was upset when the Sewanee Tigers held the strong Uni versity of Alabama team to a 7-7 tie Saturday. The Alabamians were al ready tasting victory when the Fates intervened, and Captain Bill Coughlin of the Tigers snatched an Alabama pass out of the air and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. This was shortly after the beginning of the second half; later the Crimson team unlashed a powerful (rive, but the Mountain Tiger held solid on the 10-yard line and the ball went over. As the game was drawing to a close, the Alabamians started a desparate passing attack, three in suc cession being completed for a gain of 37 yards, and when the final whistle blew the ball was in Alabama's po session on Sewance's 17-yard line. Another big disturbance was caused in the "dope pot" when the Davidson Wildcats held the heavier Virginia Polytecnic institute eleven to a 7 to 7 tie. The Davdison team was on its toes from start to finish, and fought the Flying Cadets like the animal from which it takes its name. Wallace of Virginia missed a field goal just be fore the game ended, and Faison of Davidson was thrown out of bounds just before he scored what would have been the winning touchdown. It will be remembered that this same David son team hehl the mighty Georgia Tech I aggregation to a close score, and' that 1P. C. beat Davidson; guess the dope artists would say that P. C. has sonic team. Vanderbilt university defeated the I,onghorns of the University of Texas for the seco*nd successive time by the score of 20 to 10. The score shows that it was a b)attle from start to fi nlish with Vandy having the edge. Reese, a Vanderbilt hack, was the "w~hole cheese" when it came to scoring, - as he carried the pigskin over for Severy counter. The Cadets of Virginia Military Institute dlownedl the University of - Virginia in their annual clash to the e tune of 14 to 0. A blocked punt ac v' counted for the first touchdown, and s a long p)ut by White, V. M. I.'s giant s fullback put the Cadets in a position El to sc'ore- the second counter when Ar k nolds return p)unt: only reached Vir I, ginia's 30 yard line. e Tlwo records came near being brokent e Saturday. One when King college, a -small school with about 90 students, lo dI cated at Bristol, Va., Tenn., defeated a- l,enoir college, of Hickory, N. C. by ~- the score of 206 to 0. Only.six minutes r- of the fourth quarter were played. ie Thle other incident wvas when Chuck e Palmer, left halfback for Northwvestern a- univrsity, ran 105 yards for a touch.. " down in the Northw,estern-Minnesota rt game at Chicago. He picked up n Mitchell's fumble behind his own goal 'e line after that worthy had carried the on ball over on Minnesota's fourt down. r- The goal tied the score. M. Carolina's Enrollment. at Within the last few weeks the en is rollment at Carolina 'has jumped 'to s; 685, This is considerably higher than i- the enrollment of last year. The total es number of students is expected to go rs well over 700 by Frury.e W .AROLINA-DAVIDSON FRESH GAME The headliner for Fair Week will >f course be the Carolina-Celmson game hat is every year the football classic )f South Carolina. But this year' that ighting bunch of Gamecock freshmen s to take on the first year team from Davidson in a game that will be excee led in interest only by the varsity fray. Freshman football has been empha ized to an extent never known before his year and it is only right that there ;hould be much iunterest centered in lhe contest tomorrow. The Carolina freshmen have made an imposing re or in the games they have thus far their success against North Cadolina layed against their state opponents and nen will be watched with a great deal )f interest. The battle between these wo teams should develop some first lass play as both elevens have been oing strong and give promise of be ng in their best form when the whistle )lows for the first kick off. The Davidson bunch as played but Presbyterian college freshman team in Rock Hill last Thursday.. The score ,vas 7 to 0 but this does not tell the vhole story by any manner of means is the Davidson team, playing their irst game with insufficient coaching md practice, showed a fighting spirit hat kept the result in doubt until the 7mal whistle had sounded. In McMillan they uncovered a halfpack that the Ilue Stockings had trouble handling, iud who was good for a gain at any old time that lie was given the ball. Baker is a corking good end and his defensive )lay in the P. C. game was of a very uigh order. He is expected by the Da vidson supporters to do his share in iolding the ard-driving Carolina fresh men. Blasck and Crayton also showed that they have the makings of fine players in them and showed up well last Thursday. The Davidson freshmen hiave a fine coach in the person of Captain George of their R. 0. T. C. )utfit and it is expected that the team work and coordination of the Davidson machine will be noticeably better than it was against the Presbyterians. The D)avidson first year men are imbued with the same fighting spirt that charac terizes all Davidson teams and may al ways be depended upon to give a good kccount of themselves in any game. The Davidson freshmen are good. h'lle Gamecocks, we believe, are better. They have won their three games to date in impressive style, and appear to be growing stronger with each suc cessive game. They have thrashed P. C., Newberry and Clemson, the latter in the Tiger pups own back yard, and this by a decisive margin in spite of the apparent closeness of the score. Our goal line was never threatened and the young Gamecocks had the game well in hand at all times. The Purple and Gold never really had a chance and i1 was the Garnet and Black all the wa. through. The Davidson machine is reported tc be in good condition for this game anc with one or two possible exceptiom the Carolina lineup will be the strong. est that the i>irdls have to offer. T1h< Chicks are becoming well knowvn ovei the state as notable exponeums of the gentle art of football and well mna) that be wvhen we consider the person. nel of that team-a team that couk give a hard fight to any varsity tean in the state. It is composed entirely of formel high school and prep stars and they arn certainly living up to the reputatiot that they have wvon for themselves ii lesser circles. In the backfield Captait Bloatwright, Jaskewicz, Holcombe D)ukes and Jeffords, have played th< best ball thus far this season, witl Swink, Wright and others doing stella: work when caled upon. Jazz and Duke: plough the line like a couple of steani Wingf You can get it at The rollers, white Boatwright, Jef fords and u Holcomb are good around the ends. ci Jeffords is the best punter of the crowd c while Jazz is the man who adds the ex- a tra point to the sik that come after a ci touchdown. Boatwright at quarter is one s of the sensations of the team. Without ti playing individual ball in any way, and a with no resort to "grandstand stuff" P, e J. always manages to be in the time- l light and his playing has stood out in e( every game. One of the reasons why ti we like to see him play is that when w in the safety position he isn't afraid ti to run back a punt. He takes 'em on q the dead run and carries 'em well back (town the field, instead of :watching st them roll' at so many varsity quarters c have been doing in the past few years. tl And the way P. J. runs that team is s a delight for sore eyes- but we don't s( need to say any more about him, he'll e be just one more of those scrapping I Gamecocks out there tomorrow. g In the line the Garnet and Black is p no less strong than in the backfield. s Alex Waite's kid brother, and he is ti no small boy either, has been doing o good work at center and will be likely to get in the game. At guard Gunter, a A. Dukes and Bartelle have been play- t( ing classy ball, plugging up the line s air-tight~ on defense and ploughing a those big holes that the Biddy backfield e (toes so love to wade through. Mur- e daugh and Long are two tackles who 1Z will play with any two men in the C state, and if Long is unable to get in r the game Bartell likes to play tackle s just about as well as guard-so that's f that. Joe Lillard and Hemphill on the 11 ends are in a class all by themselves a and we doubt if there are a better pair n of freshmen wing men in the state. Our estimate is that Davidson has i a strong team, so it will be a good s game. We have a stronger team-so we should %win. But no matter who d wins it's going to be a nip and tuck affair that we wouldn't miss for the world. If Davidson gets away with a win, they will have beaten the best freshman team in South Carolina, and to (1o this they will have to be down rikht good. Per.haps they are, but t anyway here's hoping for a good scrap. ) AND MAY THE BEST TEAM c WINI S. a Reception for Dr. and Mrs. Mel ton. On last Friday evening the faculty a of the University of South Carolina c gave a brilliant reception for Dr. and s Mrs. William Davis Melton in Flinn Hall on the University campus. The building, which has recently been com pletely done over,, was tastefully deco rated by a committee of the faculty f anxiliary, who rendered the campus Y. I M. C. A. a most beautiful setting for 1 the reception to the new president of the University. The guests were received in the hall by Dr. and Mrs. WWilliam D. Burney and Prof. and Mrs. Harry C. Davis. s In the receiving party in the drawing ] room were Dean L. T. Baker and Mrs. Baker, Dr. and Mrs. Melton and Dr. amnd Mrs. William Spencer Currell. 'rhe other professors and their wvives re ceived in the various rooms of FlinnI I-all wvhile punch, ices and sweets were served by a group of the professors' dlaughters, including 1v4isses Virginia \Vauchope, Agnes and Beth Carson, Harriet Baker, Cornelia and Cecile IHiggins, Floride Stoddard, Margaret Aycock and Dorothy Madden. About two hundred and fifty guests called during the evening, including representatives from the leading edu cational and social crcles' of Columbia. Among those invited were the members of the faculty, the members of the board of, trustees, the officers of all student organizations and1 of the alumni andl alumnae associations of the uni versity, the mayor and mnembe rs o ield's Drug 1443 Main Street tate Book In The Seta Nesape,- B..lding ie city council, the president and exe 3tive committee of the chamber of immerce, the president and deans of I the educatonal institutions in the ty, the superintendent of the city hools and principal of the high school, ic pastors of the churches in the city, I members of the state department of lucation, the members of the Rich nd delegation and the editors and city litors of the Columbia newspapers. In ie cases of married men invited their ives were included in the invitaton so ie number of guests was swelled to lite large proportions. The affair was a most pronounced iccess and demonstrated perhaps mpre early than had been done previously kat all those interested in the Univer ty are with Dr. Melton, heart and ml, in his efforts to raise her to a high r level than she has in the past enjoyed. : was this spirit of cooperation and aodwill that contributed largely to the leasure fo the gatherng, and this )irit of geniality was the added sauce iat made the evening a most enjoyable ie for all who were there. The students who were so fortunate to be on hand were particularly in ,rested in the appearance of such-and Ich a professor in a hardboiled outfit, id they were gratified by seeing the itire faculty "on parade.." We were specially concerned to find how the itest libels that had appeared in the aniecock had been received by the ,spective victims but were very much rprised to discover that under th~e in luence of the pleasant surroundings one of those ill-treated by scatching ttack from student pens were in a iood to resent them. In fact they all tughed at the jokes on the other fel )ws-and the perpetrator of it all lipped . out in the tumult, unharmed. 'lie whole reception was a most won erful success. S. o New Commercial Courses. We have been requested to call at ention to the new courses offered by ie School of Commerce in stenogra. hy and typewriting. Although regular redit will not be given for these courses : is believed that the reasonable figures t which the course are offered will in tice a number of students to take ad antage of the opportunities thus offered. Ve are informed that the tuition for biese courses is much lower than that t any business schools up town. The ourses will be limited to university tudents. W. HL S Hypatian Literary Society.
