TRACK OUTLOOK
EXCELLENT FOR SEASON
Old and New Men Show Up
Fine
INTER-CLASS MEET SOON
Plans Being Formulated For
Big Meets With Other
University Teams
Last week Coach C. F. Mercer
sounded the call for candidates for this
year's track team. The call did not go
unheeded by the lovers of the cinder
path. Among the aspirants were a num
ber of men from last year's team and
many new men coming out for track for
the first time. Listed among the old
men are: Captain "Bill" Poole, manager;
"Charley" Parsons, "Frank" Meeks.
"Flash" Hanahan, "Red" Cobb, Steve
Prevost, "Ed" Lillis, "Sambo" Morrow,
"Slim" Gaston and Barre.
Manager Parsons was beaming with
smiles the other afternoon when the re
porter for the Gamecock sought an inter
view.
"Say, Parsons, how is the old track
team coming on this year?"
"Kid, with Coach Mercer, we are go
ing to put out one of the best track
teams that has ever represented Caro
lina."
"Will Waite's loss handicap things?"
"Sorry to lose Alex, but we have some
men out who will take his place. Conic
with me and see for yourself what we
have out."
The reporter first visited the men try
ing out for the field events. There lie
found Harry Lightsey, from last year's
squad. Harry did not get into the lime
light last year because Alex got all of
the glory, but anyone looking over the
records will find that lie placed in the
State Meet. Harry is hurling the javelin
further this year and is picked to fill
Waite's shoes. He is also trying the
shot put and discus.
"Gee, but did you see Toni throw
that javelin? L.ookout, Harry, lie will
give you a run for the team." Yes; old
Toi Brice is showing up fine. Toni was
not eligible last year, but lie is going to
make things hum before the season is
over.
"Say, Kid, who is that big boy throw
ing the shot ?"
"That is 'Tiny' Dickert. I picked
'Tiny' to place in the State Meet this
year."
Among the new men are "Bill" Hol
land, L. L. Straits and "Billy" Kirven.
"Charley, I saw Dave Gaston over
there jumping. Let's take a look at the
lad."
Dave is an old man from last year's
squad. Ile got hurt in the middle of the
season but seenis to be all 0. K. now
and is looking forward to a good sea
son. Captain "Hiull" Poole rant "Soc"
Ervin a close second last year for the
pole vault. Ervini graduated last year
and( leaves the field sopen to Poole.
Mildred Wilson and Best are the newv
men out so far. Others are to be hieardl
fromi later.
"If that isn't old1 Steve Prevost show
ng the boys how to run I wvill eat my
hat.'' Steve is remenmbered from last
year. He gave the (Clemison lad a run
for his nmoney. Steve says lie never ran
hetter and is out for revenge this year.
Hie is not the onily mian out for the dis
tance runs. There goes Ed 1illis.lEd

PORTRAIT OF LATE G
DEAN MOORE UNVEILED
Gift of Cosmos Club and
Others
ACCEPTED BY DEAN
FRIERSON
M. Herndon Moore was Prof. C
and Dean of Law School
for Many Years
(Written by John P. Thomas.)
(nae of the most interesting incidents ta
of the recent annual meeting of the
South Carolina Bar Association was the to
unveiling of a handsome oil portrait of
Ni r. 1M. Herndon Moore. The por- m
trait was preseinted by members of the W
Cosmos Club and by some of NMr. th
N1ire's classmates and alimni of the SO
Law school of the University. The SO
portrait was hung in the main corridor th
ot Petigru College along with Jos. Dan- Se
iel Pope, the distinguished lawyer and W
law school teacher. It was a deserved G,
honor to Mr. Moore. M
Nfaurice Herndon Moore was born at wi
Cedar Grove. in Union county, on the
18th day of October, 1866. He grad
uated from Wofford College in 1884, and
from the Law school of the University of
South Carolina in 1887. After grad
uating he commenced the practice of law th
in the city of Columbia and was pron- te
inent at the bar. He served our town as
city attorney of the City of Columbia.
As a lawyer he lived up to the highest all
ideals of his profession and would never
in
stoop to gain success. He was elected
law professor at the University of
South Carolina in 1901 and in 1908 was
made dean of the Law school. succeeding
the venerable Jos. Daniel Pope in the
deanship. He was a hard student, per- th
forming his duties with painstaking th
thoroughness and in such a manner as to th
enlist the interest of all who were for
tunate to come under his instruction. le
was well read in his profession. lie
had early in his life acquired a love of
literature and was a constant and eager
reader of good books. Ile was active er
in the establishient of the Columbia In
literary Association. He wrote an article (i
on "Law Writers of the South" which
was published inl the Senate Review. li
His literary culture extended beyond the re
range of his profession and 'hen the
Cosmos Ch.,b was first thought of lie C'
took an active part in it. organization. ov
Probably the best service rendered to v-1
.he profession by Prof. Moore wits the
part he took in the passage of the ro
statute providing for a State Board of ga
F,xaininers. NIr. Moore prepared this
hill and labored u1ntiriigly for its Pass- cc
age. Undoubtedly this statute has done C
nore for the evolution of the profession ag
than any other law ever passed. Its up
lifting and far-reaching influence in thi
raising the standard foir admission to a

Thursday afternoon, March Ist, the
CO-eds tackled the Columlnbia college sex
tet, and as they were a bit riled over
their defeat at the hands of Chicora, they
went into the game with "C. C." with a
rush, and althugigh they lost, they scared
the Methodists so that they didn't re
cover from it for many days; in fact,
they evidently hadn't recovered Satur
(lay wlenl Chicora swamped them, 85 to
12. But to get back to 'our" game. It
was ole of the fastest and most exciting
gaies that have been pilayed on the gym
floor this season, and it was not until
the last minute of play that the Columbia
girls won by a margin of three points
20 to 23. The score was either a tie, or
one team or the other was leading by
one or two points throughout the entire
game and it was only in the last minute
or so of play that the college girls jump
ed into the lead to hold it. T he score
at the end of the first half was 14 to 13
in favor of the Pullets.
F,)r the 'illets, Meredith and Wilson
