The New Sport
"Say, what is that those boys are doing
over there ?"
"They are pitching horseshoes."
Yes, the campus has gone crazy over
horseshoe pitching. The only fault to
be found is that the faculty is not tak
ing to the game as rapidly as was ex
pected.
Some young lad had read an account of
the horseshoe tournament held down in
Sunny Florida the other day. He read
further and found that a fifteen-year-old
lad was the winner of the national title.
Being an energetic young fellow, he
thought that with a little practice lie
would challenge this victor to a match
and probably walk off with the coveted
crown. He could not play by himself.
At last he decided that he would take
his roommate into the scheme, but he
thought again. He remembered that he
could not play this game in his room
because it was not large enough. At
last they decided to adjourn to gardens
around the old president's house. The
horseshoes and sticks were secured and
a game was started.
<A These young lads had not played
many minutes before the entire personnel
of the Bats Club came pouring out of the
:3 windows. They looked on in amazement
for a few seconds but quickly caught the
idea of the thing. Alex Murdaugh, the
great football player, was the first to
join in. He was followed by "Dick"
Spenser. These two made some pair
and quickly ran off with the honors.
The next (lay everybody was playing
the game. If you could not find a fellow
in his room all you had to do was to look
around the corner and there he was play
ing.
Tle point to this is simple. The poor
chap, with the desire to meet the cham
pion, has been beaten so badly that he
has quit the game and gone back to his
studying.
Chanticleer Club Meets.
The Chanticleer Club held its second
meeting for March Tuesday night at the
home of Charles Fishburne, in Shandon.
The meeting was called to order by
President Thorne Sparkman, and after
the miscellaneous business had been dis
pensed with the program for the evening
was carried out. This consisted of a
paper on "Thie Theory of Evolution,"
which was read by Mr. Ralph Ramsey
and proved to be very interesting. A
heated discussion on "Evolution" fol
lowed that all of the members of the
club participated in. After the program
had been completed a delightful salad
course and refreshments were served.
Miss Mary Fishburne was kind enough
to favor the members of the club with
several piano and vocal solos.
The next meeting will be on the third
of April at the home of Mr. Wells, on
Hampton street.
