Verily there is great sorrow in the editorial roonis of this, the yellow sheet of the University of South Car olina. The resonant, manly voice of N r. Wittkowsky, the able assistant ed itor from the metropolis of Kershaw county-. has been husky for more than a week with some great sorrow. and from time to time his chest is shaken by heart-retnling sobs, and the most pitiful nioans issue from his lips. For some time we were unable to fathom the reason for the terrible distress of otir colleague, but yesterday we hap liened to pick up a Camden Chronicle in which was recorded the grewsome tale of tile slaughter of eleven lads. the flower (if the Camden youth, when they failed inl an assault tipoi the City by the Sea. The final count was 45 to 0.

Chickens Come Home. As Hill Shakespeare once said in a fiie outburst of poetic fancy, "The chickens will come hiome to roost." This faniious trash was well illustrated last week when dozens of old Caro lina men flocked back to the campus to see the Furman llornet dittne till in proper style. It was a real pleasure tit see tile caipus dotted with the per sonlalitics of yesteryear. Prominent among the returning chickens was Professor W. J. ("Slick trick") Gaines of 4he Darlington H.igh school faculty. Gaines is remembered as Mne of the best scholars, pool ar tists,. and allrotind good fellows who ever g raced our campus.

One of the most important gamnes in thie IEast Saturday w~as the ct'ilst lbt tweent lIa rvarid and P rinct'tni.

Next Sa'turday te' Ti gers must face the' Bulldogs of Yale the myvthIicalI chamipionshiip of the F.ast at Mae While the~ Harvard- Priinceton hattle' was being fouight .there were several othi er major contests taking place. Cornell was scoring a smashing victory over Dartmouth, 23 to 0; LaFayette decisive ly defeated Rutgers 33 to 6; and Pitts burg was winning a sensational victory over Pennsylvania, 7 to 6. Army and Notre Dame fought to a scoreless tie, while the Navy defeated St. Xavier of Cincinatti 52 to 0. Syracuse added a touch of international triumph when they downed McDill of Canada, 32 to 0. Yale using its second and third string men downed Maryland, 45 to 3. In the South Auburn who leads the scoring for the season won an easy victory from Tulane; Georgia Tech downed the Georgetown Hilltoppers; adii(erbilt defeated Kentucky; the Uni versity of North Carolina won a decis ive victory over the V. M. 1. calets thereby striking them off of the list of iderated teams. The strong V. 1>. 1. team took the crippled N. C. Staters into camp by a goodly margin, while Washington and Lee, although defeated by Center chalked herself up as the fourth team to cross the Colonels goal line this season. - And now for the home team. Dope was absolutely spilled all over the face Of the earth Saturday when the Car lina Gamecocks slated to lose to the Furman Hornets by a touchdown or so, turned loose in full blast and easily downel the Baptist eleven, 27 to 7. This was a suirprise to everyone e-xcept the most ardeit of Carolina fans who said they expected it all along.

Aside front the nrits and demerits of the difficulty between Snipes and the Carolina football coaches, which have not and will not be discussed in this paper, we think that, in justice to the man who has played star ball for Car olina, some mention should be made of the manner in which "Rock" has con ducted himself since being asked to turn in his uniform. On the eve of the biggest game of the year Snipes could have hurt the morale of the team very considerably, I had he seen fit to do so. But he did i not and we firmly believe that his at titude, in appearing before the student I body and showing that lie didn't intend to he a "sorehead" contributed as much I as any one thing to putting the punch and life into the team that was respon sible for Furnians overwhelm;ing de feat. Whether or not "Rock" was in the right with the coaches, lie certainly cleared the atnosphere a great deal with I his littl talk in chapel the day before I the game. and the rousing cheers that I the student body gave him at the end t bore witness to their appreciation of his eff(IIts to pit Carolina on top in tie scrap with the l1aptists. And per halls soneic of y.ou)I noticed that lie was in the Carolina sectioln and took part m1, the sIake Iance that was staged Ie twevin halvecs. it was hard. but it wa1s the Ianly thing to di . -00 Attendance at the Furman t Game. T large at-tendance at the Carolina FIriiIan game was fairly indicative of tle interest taken in this c.(oItest. And it is certainl that at least half the Cr(Vowl was more than repaid for going. It was a game which will linger for mally a day ill die mjinds of the six th(ilusatid lt. 1141ite who saw it. The Imanagemetit of tit' .\thletic As- I iation is to be ci oIIgIattlated on the CXeCelleit arrangenets that were made t to accmmodate and hatdle the crowd. A InImb t-t sections l'f new bleach ers were thrown iup and all the bleach- . er seats were iuItnbered.

IIere a couple of I iasses were grounided and the oinly Citadel ehance for a score was lost. .\.lex Waite puit the Gamecock in the lead a few minutes later when lie scoiped up a fumble and ran some thir ty yar(s for a touchdown, all that was neewded to) plit tlit gamet 4)n ice.
