Carolina-Florida Freshman Game. While the varsity are battling the Purple Hurricane in our own back yard tomorrow, the Game Biddies will be far, far away in the wilds of Florida. The young Gamecocks go to the state of or ange and sunshine with the record of not having been defeated this season, and with the determination to keep this record intact, and show the 'Gators that South Carolina "Rats" are as husky, and know as much football as any of 'em. This is the second time the Bid (lies have invaded foreign territory. A few weeks ago they took the young Ti gers into camp in the jungles to the tune 7 to 3. There is no doubt that the Freshies will invade Florida with the grim (etermination to demonstrate the fact that a team should play as well away from home as at home. The con test promises to be a real battle, for the dope, such as it is, from the Flori da camp gives the 'Gators credit for having a powerful first year team, and they are determined on their part not to let the Gamecocks bring the laurels back to the Palmetto state. Incidentally there are at least two men on the Carolina squad who are ex ceedingly anxious to get a whack at the Florida Freshies. These young gentle men are Messrs Eddie Holcombe and J. C. Long. Why? Well, its like this: Last year there was a certain high school in the state that was rated as an A-1 team-and it was. This was the team from the City by the Sea. Eddie and J. C. both played stellar ball on that team. However in the course of the season a certain high school, Duvall by name, chanced to cross the path of the Bantams with the result that wlhen the dust cleared away the aforementioned high school was hanging on to the long end of the score, and the Bantams were exceedingly sore. Now it happens that nine of these Duvall players are hold ing down positions on the Freshman team of the University of Florida. Now, putting two and two together, can't you figure out why the above mentioned young gentlemen have such a strong de sire to get a chance at the young 'Ga tors. Go it boys; soak 'em one for me I M. Y. W. Party. "The Little Pumpkin House," that's what it looked like last night. But the editor will can ye scribe in a nin ute, who ever heard of starting an article like that? As we were saying, tho, Way up the campus the golden lighted windows twinkled out on the (lark, just like the eyes of a big round jack o' lantern. The Y. W. C. A. was holding its an nual Halloween nasque at Melton Hall. And it was Halloween night, with witches and black bats lirrking behind every grown up tree on the street. The first thing one saw, or rather felt, after hending double to enter the draped door. wat a long strigg of pine cone's suispend(edl at the p)roper height to catch the unwvary. "A clever trick" we called it, missing it by less than a hair. All manner of strange wild creatures went wandering about the rooms. Fun ny little Columbines ; gay spangled be ings ; a nun swathed in wvhite tip to her inscrutable eyes ; a black robed f riar with a long gray beard ; a tall white box-like affaire, which might have beetn either a bottle of milk or a salt shaker, but wasn't, and( wvas only a "Chesterfield ;" a cowvboy, with a real revolver, who had stayed over f romti "Ringling Bros. atnd Barnum atid BIai Icy's C'ombinied \Vorld's G'reatest Shows" just for the party ; a fast id "As Copeland Goes, S5 Learn Ti CLOTHING: Stylish $25.00 to $45.00 cqualit HATS: The Ni $3.50 to $8.50 al wa: FURNISHINGS: Manhat Everything Trhat's New Cheni Full Dress Suits For Runt 1535 MAITN cously-dressed and care fully-blackened devil; a real witch, with scraggly yel low strands, for hair; a little quiet ghost whom everyone fancied a girl, till "he" smoked a cigarette to prove "she" wasn't one; a big Yama Yama man; a petite Yama Yama girl -and just heaps more ! It was indeed a dazzling assemblage, a veritable riot of flashing colors. The rooms were all decorated with sweet smelling wild things, grasses, pine branches, gum trees, holly boughs and autumn leaves galore. Each or ange shaded light flaunted a black cat, or a witch, or perhaps a huge bat. "Divining" for apples, guessing col tests and puzzles, and waiting in line at the witch's den. to have one's for tune told, almost occupied the even ing. While of course, the market bas ket of doughnuts, the cups of white capped coffee, and the dishpan full of golden sugar popcorn balls mereiv filled in the spare moments. And everyone :left .rejoicing-what a good time they had had, what jolly fun it all was, and please when would we have another, so-if the Y. M. C. A. or something like that wants to give a party right soon, they can, and we'll promise you all another party "in the most immediate future." M. C. F. Social Cabinet Elected.

The Law Association holding its regular meeting in the moot court room last Thursday night was the scene of a hotly contested murder trial. D. W. Spence, the prisoner on trial, was ably defended by Rice and John De Loach, tVhile the attorneys for the state were Earl Brock and L. E. Reedy. Both defense and prosecution upheld their points in grand style which showed much time and thought spent in preparation. Mr. McRae was the first witness for the State, and being waived by the diefense Was allowed to read to the Court the dying statement of the de :cased, (A. M. Smith) which stated riefly that lie was caught in his bari by the (defendant and shot by him tvice with a pistol. Mr. "jack" Douglas, the 3rd wit ness. stated that lie witnessed the fray and was with the deceased at the time of his writing the dying statement. Other witnesses were called by both sides in bringing out their points. Mr. Reedy's speech to the jury de serves much credit. It was well rounded, forcible and delivered in a manner that carried nmuch weight in the conviction. The jury after deliberation brought in a verdict of guilty, and the priso ner was given a life sentence with a recommendation of mercy. The law Association holds its an iual mock trial and reception on This reception is Open only to law students who are members of the L,aw Association and have paid up all dues. Ladies from Chicora and Col tumbia Colleges will be among those present. The members of the Associ ation are doing much work in prepara tion of this occasion and feel sure that it will meet with success as it has in prior years. Legare. Cross Country Team at Work. From present indications Carolina is to have a good cross-country team this year, one which will be a credit to the institution. Steve Prevost, who niade such a phenomenal record last year as a cross-country man, is the neuclus around which Professors Mer cer and VanMeter hope to build the team. A number of men have come out for the team so far and it is the desire of those in charge to increase the number of candidates. At pres ent the men are being whipped into shape by Professor Van Meter and Prevost. Professor Mercer expects to help with the team later. At the meet last year, which was held at Newberry, Prevost easily out stripped all his opponents. If we had had one or two other men in his class we would have walked awav with the meet. We hope that this year we will be able to send up a number of men of the Prevost stamp to represent Carolina at the cross-country meet. W. Hilton At Legion Convention.
