Y. W. C. A. Trial. Un hum I We knew it I Far be it from us to be rain crows, but didn't we tell you so? What's the idea? Well-at Y. W. meeting last Monday but it's so terrible that we hesitate even to wri.te it. But, if you'll promise not to breathe it to a soul, here's how : For about hal f an hour we sat there enthralled, listening to a wonderful ad (ress by Dr. Phillips. F.veryone was all keyed up and feeling as good as girls ever can feel. When lie finished, and things were quieting down a bit, in walked Misses Virginia' Cravens. Catharine Floyd and M rs. Jay. They, sat down and we sang a hymn. In the silence which followed, Miss Frances Wanniamaker arose. Now the plot commences to curdle. We leaned forward on the edge of our seats, every 4n.t quivering with excitement while Skinny said: "I'm1 going to ask Niss Floyd and Niss Cravens to comlie forward and take these seats please." The two poor enfants! They stum bled to their feet, got all red and con fused and slowly staggered towards the designated chairs. right by the pres ident and her mighty gavel. Dr. Phil ,lips sat back in his corner, wondering -what it was all about. C White-hot with excitement, and in a 5high pitched voice, checked several 25times with suppressed emotion, Fran ces read an article from last week's 'Gamecock. Which article? The ap 6ple article of course. SThere sat the two culprits, before the Wassembled Y. W. Their cheeks grew Apallid., as the full purport of the terrible accusation dawned upon them. They were seei to whisper frightedly one with the other. The voice of the accusor droned on, drilling each word deeper into the minds of the two un fortunates. She spared no one, WE wrote the article, and knew every line of it. She finished and sat down. "Is there no one to say a word in de fense of these two?' asked Miss Hen (ry, the noble President. At that mur valient little Fm leaped straightway to her feet, tossed her fluffy head, and began a stirring plea for the condemned souls. "consider these two and let me ask "Oh girls, Distinguished Visitor and Madam President," she exclaimed. you one question, Have you never been hiunry? If so, understand their motive, have mercy and clemency Spare them! Amidst a ringing round of applause Miss Wilson bowed and sat down. With tears in their eyes, the two hitherto defenseless ones looked at her gracefully, their one and only sa vior. Miss 1 jendry rapped smartly for or (er and delivered her verdict. "In view of the fact that mercy has been besought for these two, I will not sus pend them from the Y. W., and their sentence will be light. It is this-they must beg Miss Elizabeth Coleman's p)ardlon and attendl every futurc meeting, in hope of learning from our better example, and bring a newv mem ber to each meeting," TIhe meeting broke up, the members sighing with relief, just as Miss Cra vens collapsed in Miss Floyd's arms. Poor girls I They had suffered so much anguish I And yet we heard them whisper to Miss Wilson as she passed out "We'll dlividle the next one we swvipe with you, Em I" F. M., Special Correspondent. Society Meeting. T1he Clariosophic literary Society held its regular meeting Tuesday night, Nov. 10, 1922. The meeting was well attended by the old1 and new men. This was the secondl meeting uinder the new administration, and showed that the society had taken a newv lease on life. P'residlent WVilliamns immediately won the favor of all piresenlt by the clear cut and determined way in which he conducted1 the meet ing. In the course o,f 'the meeting Mir. Williams made it plIain that the society has a "goal' to cross be fore tlie yeair is over and that lhe was going to start the ''ball rolling." All that is niece'ssary now is for 4he rest of the society to get the same attitude, Southeni Columbia. S. C. and it will not be long before the goal is reached. Mr. C. T. (Greece) Graydon, an al numus of the socioty, being present was called upon by the President for a speech.. Mr. Graydon talked on the political situation atid many other important matters of national interest. "lut this is not what I have come here tonight for" said Mr. Graydon. "You members of this society know that the greatest football game in the history of the game at Carolina is to come off to morrow. That teaml) is going to fight and (14) its best, but it is up to you to win 'that game. IWlen you mreet a studenI on tihe campus tell himn that Carolina is going to heat Furman and with such a spirit in the studeit body Furman will go home with the small end of the score.' President Williams, on behalf of the society thanked Mr. Graydon and told him that he had a standing invitation to visit the society any time lie desired to do so. Three new members were iitiated ilo the society. Several members made speeches in regards to new mem hers. The literary program, altho not the most complete. was by far the most entertaining. N r. Simpson showed the real Clariosolphic spirit when lie got up amid read his declamaltion instead of asking to be excused. Hei had been sick in the infirmary and (lid not know that lie was on the program until late in the afternoon. Mr. May, the seconld declaimer, was absent. Mr. Wyman\ Williams broke the "orator's jinx" last week, thus it held no fear for M r. Wormath. Subject of M,r. Wormath's speech was "The Uncrowned King." The debate, Resolved, 'rJat passed by Congress, the President's the lionus Bill now pending should be veto notwitlistanding;." Messrrs Wil liams and Frank Ulmer (liscussed the affirmative withi Momtgomery and Collins onl the negative. Thet debate was so interesting to the members that when President Williams called for volunteers to debate it as if the entire society wanted to discuss the question. The pr-)onderance of opinion of the vo/umlary debaters favored the nega tive, but the judges returned a (le cision in favor of the affirmative. The regular extemporaneous debaite was held. It injected a great pmount of fun into the program. Everything considered it was an ex treimely good program in view of the fact that many of the "btl artists" were absent and causing a great drop in this important part of the ex ercise. The meetiig wound up with the re C. T. Cross-Country Meet. The men who have been working so faithfully for the crosscountry team, will soon have a chance to try their mettle against men from other schools, wh'len they will lie pitted against rep)re sentatives from p)ractically every col lege in the state in the meet that is to be held a-t Cliniton next Thursday. Professor Mlercer, whlo has been as sisting in condtitioning the team, repiorts that the meni have been training faith fully and should be in top-notch con dition when the big day arrives. Newtberry college statged the. meet las-t year, and it was a big success, It is said that the course that will be run over at Clinton is much better than that at Newberry., and it is a cinch that the I'. C. authorities will lint over the meet in the best oif style possible. S. P ossibily So-Her Second Hutsbiand -No, I can't go out with youi this even ing. I hiave sonie wvork to (do at the iofice.

Vith the 1922 football season iear ing its end, and Turkey Day approach ing. on which day many teams play their last games of the year, the "dope pot" continues to boil violently, al though perhaps with not as much force as earlier in the season. The races for mythical championships in various paits of the country have narrowed down to a chosen few, and these few will have hard going for the rema;nder of the season to maintain thdAr places among the ranks of contenders for the titles. Last Saturday marked the downfall of several worthy gridiron machines. Foremost amiong these was 'ale who went down to defeat before the dough ty Princetoni eleven, which has rung up such an enviable record this season. The Tigers added to the already long list of gridiron heroes of old Prince ton the name of one Kenneth Smith, who, in the third period of the mighty striggle last Saturday, calmly booted f:he oval between the posts from Yale's fifteen yard line.. thereby winning the game for the Tigers and making them undisputed champions of the "Big Three," and strong claimants to the Eastern championship. By defeating Harvard first and then Yale. Yale accomplished the feat of downing its 4wo great rivals in succession for the first time since the spectacular Sam White crushed both the Blue and Crim son in 1911. While her fellowi members of the "Big Three" were battling fiercely Harvard was giving the East one of the greatest shocks of the season by losing to Brown, 3 to 0. The only ray of hope or explanation for this unlook ed for defeat at the hands of the team that was defeated by Yale 20 to 0 is the fact that neither Captain Buell nor George Owen was in the Harvard line up. The Crimson offensive went into susotained action only once; this re stilted in a touchdown, but holding on the part of a Harvard player caused the officials to recall the play, and to penalize the Crimson fifteen yards. Harvard -then tried for a field goal but the ball wvent wvild. University of Pennsylvania dlowned Penn State by the close margin of one lone point. 7 to 6. There was not much to choose between the two elevens; they were very ev'enly matched. Both scored in the 'third p)eriodl, Pennisylva nia counting first and making a p)lace mnent kick good for the extra point. Then Penn State took the ball on the kickoff and marched d1own the field to a torchdowvn, the usually reliable Mike Palm failed to kick t4he goal and the Quakers wvon.f1 il1 The wvonder eleven of 'Washington andl Jeffersoni met its WVaterloo Satur (lay when the Pittsburgh Panthers d1ownied them 19 to 0 thereby marking themselves as the first team to dlefeat the Presidents in almost three seasons. he WV. & J. eleven was outclassed, outplayed, and outgeneralled from the first, and were kept within the shadow of their goal posts most of the time. Coming dowvn South we find the uin defeated University of West Virginia ginia 13 to 0. A fter failing to show enough consistency of attack to score in 'the first half the Mountaineers caine back strong in the last hal f and scored t wo touchdowns. one as the direct result of a blocked punt. the other by straight football. Virginia failed to show any punch in Agency Richmnd,e Va. the contest, making only one first (own (luring the entire game. f1 The Generals of Washington and 1.ee were completely outplayed and out rushed by the Cadots of V. P. 1., losing to them by the score of 41 to 6. A fea ti,re of the game however was a spec tacular run by McMillan, who grabbed a forward pass in midfield during the final period and crossed V. P. I's goal line for the Generals lone touchdown. Although defeated by Georgia Tech 17 to 0. the North Carolina State elev en bewildered the Yellow Jackets in the last seven minutes of play by marching 80 yards down the field when they completed eight out of thinteen forward passes naking a total of 15 aerial passes the North Carolinians completed out of 28 attempts. Tech used its second string men throughout the second half. Maintaining their perfect record of no defeats the Vanderbilt Commodores downed the University of Georgia 12 to 0. Vandy has defeated every team it has played in the South and held Michigan to a 0-0 tie. In straight fool hall the Georgia and Vanderbilt teams were well matched both in offense and defense. Vandy's advantage lay most ly in the educated toe of Neely. the Commodores right end. The mighty Florida eleven battered the Tulane defense to pieces and de feated the lighter team by the count of 27 to 6. When the final whistle lew there was hardly a Tulane regular left on the field, all of them going out -through injury or exhaustion. Dickson and Newton were the stars f the Alli gators both on offense and defense.

Aerial work featured in the game and it was largely by this means that the Wildcats scored their lone tiuchdown in the last quarter. .\proximately 15.000 fans saw the Auhurns Plainsmen sweep the dough ty Centre Colonels from their pinnacle of football fame Saturday. The game was marked by clean playing only one penalty being accorded. Kicking from behind his own goal line Captain Ro berts failed to get the punt away in time and it was blocked; Movrlton of Auburn fell on the ball behind the goal line and the tale was told.
