NUMBER 13 GAMECOCKS SHOW STUFF ON NORTHERN TOUR Many Crack Teams Played By Birds JACK WRIGHT STARS W. & L Scribe Says Birds Play Unusually Fast Defensive Game The Gamecock basketeers returned last Thursday from a trip through North Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia. It wasn't a pleasure trip either, for every night they were away they played somebody's basketball team. The trip was a great success from every standpoint except that we didn't win any games. However, we are not down hearted over a little thing like that, for everybody knows what a time Coach Crawford has had getting a team to gether this season, and, furthermore, since basketball is the longsuit of most of the colleges encountered on the trip, why they are bound to have cracker jack basketball teams I Besides the boys kept up the old-time Gamecock spirit, and fought every minute of every game in the old Carolina scrapping style, so what else matters? Leaving home Thursday morning, Feb ruary 8th, the Birds journeyed to Guil ford, N. C., where they met the Guil ford College quintet that night. This opening clash resulted in a 35 to 20 victory for Guilford. The following night found (ur boys in Lynchburg, Va., where they had a bout with Lynchburg College. The game was hard fought, but loosely played and the Virginians got the long end of a 40 to 28 score. "Wal ly" and Jack Wright both had the mis fortune to spring "charley-horses" ii this game and that held them back. In spite of his lameness, however, Captain Wallace played stellar ball. White, for Lynchburg, shot 10 field goals besides several free throws. Tihe next night the Gamecocks invaded the capital city of our fair United States and lost to the fast Georgetown aggre gation by the score of 31 to 14. The Birds seemed to be weak on the defense. Wallace and \Vright played the best ball for the Garnet and Black. The next game found the Gamecocks facing one of the strongest teams in the country Catholic University. When the smoke of battle had cleared away it was discovered that Catholic had won by the score of 41 to 14. Resuming their journey, the Birds pro cedeed to Lexington, Va., where on Tuesday night, February 13th, they play ed one of the best games of the whole trip, with Washington and Lee. Tle local sport scribe said that the Birds played an unusually fast game defensive ly, and although the Generals held the lead throughout, except at the start when Carolina tied the score, the Gamecocks were going at top sp)eedl at all times, making good the majority of their at templlts at goal, and in the last half they showed a flash oIf speed that looked b)ad for the home team. The Blue and White, however, nosedl them out in the end(, the final count being 26 to 19. Wright led in field goals for the Birds, and was a flash on tihe floor, accordling to the a foresaid scribe. The last game (of the trill was pllayedl with V. M. 1. on Wednesday night, resulting in a 23 to 9 victory for the Cadets. Big Increase in Number of Students. The size of the plresent stud(ent b)ody is the largest in the history of the in stitution. At this writing seven hundred andl thirty-five students have registered at the D)ean's office. This is an increase of forty-five over the number registeredl last term. T1he enrollment includes five hundred and ninety-four men and onc hundired andl forty-one wmn. MEMBER OF LEGISLATURE HEADS Y. M. C. A. Election At Last Meeting 0. D. JOHNSON PRESIDENT Many Good Men Among "Y" Officers For Ensuing Year After th every interesting talk by Dr. Carpenter the presiding officer an nounced, as this was the time for the annual election of officers, we should now go into the election. As it has been the custom, for the past few years, to have the seinior members act as a noin inating committee the seniors remained after the regular council meeting Mon (lay night and nominated the following nen: For president, 0. D. Johnson and McBride Dabbs; for vice-president, Frank Meeks and Jim Bowen; for Sec retary, Loyal, Ulmer and Dowling; for treasurer, B. Rharne, Jim Black and Jack Douglas. After a period of voting the following men were declared elected: President, 0. D. Johnson ; vice-presi(dent, Frank Meeks; secretary, Frank Ulmer, and treasurer, B. Rhame. Mr. Johnson is no stranger to any of us. This was clearly shown by the vote that he polled. 0. D. hails forth from the great county of Anderson. The peo )le up there thought so much of this lad that they elected him to represent them in the General Assembly. At present Johnson is a junior law student, coming to us from Wofford two years ago. The University is real fortunate in having a man of Mr. Johnson's ability at the head of the Association. While at Blue Ridge last summer Johnson was elected as one of the dele gates to the Regional Council from South Carolina. The members of this council elected him as a representative to the National Council. While speak ing of Blue Ridge, I must pause to say that 0. D. was one of the most popular young men with the young ladies up there. It is rumored that he lost a ring, but I will have to leave it to the WVofford delegation to give tis the ans wer to this question. After the election the names of Messrs. F. R. Gressette and G. W. Col lier were put up for membership in the Associatii. fly a unanimous vote they were accepted. The meeting closed with a short prayer by Mr. Dabbs. Debating Notes. The query chosen for the big triangle debate is resolved, "That the Allied Na tiois should release each other from all indebtedness incurred for the purpose of carrying on the World War." April 5th is the (late that has been set for the contest. This year our affirmative team deblate.s U. T.'s negative teamt in Gaines ville and our negative dlebates the Uni versity of Florida's affirmative team in Knoxville. Florida's negative and U. T.'s affirmative will (debate here. The Little Triangle debate will take place on April 21st. At the present writing the query has not been definitely decided upon, but Secretary R. R.. Wvil liams, of the Debating Council, says that it will probably be: Resolved, "That the p)resent invasion of Germany by the French is justifiable." An item of interest to ev'eryone is the debate that is niow being arrangedl with William and Mary College. This dlebate wvill be in Columbia the latter p)art of March or first of April. The query select ed is: Resolved, "Thlat President IHard ing wvas jutstified in vetoing the Blonus b)ill." Why did "Alphabet" slap Prof. on the back as the last German and say, "How you feel, Buddy ?"

Student Volunteer Convention. Over two hundred strong, and coming from colleges in all parts of the state, the delegates to the South Carolitun Stu dent Volunteer Conference last week-end enjoyed the hospitality of Rock Hill and of Winthrop. From the opening meeting Friday night till the benediction following the Sunday night service the student volunteers, and with them the other delegates, were earnestly engagedl in d iscussinig means and miethiods andl consecrating themselves to the work of serving their fellow men ini the best pos sible way.

A feature of the game was the m( passing of the entire Carolina team and ba the shooting of Merideth and Wilson at ti forward. Saturday night found our girlies fac- th ing the strong Ashley Hall aggregation, l w%hiclh is supposed to have one of the w best forwards and side centers in girls ar basketball in the state. This didn't wor- pi ry our Co-eds in the least, and they went gc into the game full of the old-time Caro-. ot lina "pep," the result being that the end ju of the first half found the score a tie. in In the second half, however, the girls g< from Rutledge avenue got the jump on fo the Pullets and grabbed a small lead so which they held to the finish, the final count being 28 to 19.
