Ve have anl abundance of backlield material of almost equal ability. In consequence the competition for posi tiois will be strelnuouls and. a fine set of backs should result. Many of these men are experienced' players. The line job is a harder one, for fewer men are out for these positions. However "Red" Edgarton canl he depended upon to solve this part of our problem most satisfactorily. One most encouraging sign is that the men reported in better shape this fall than ever before. Consequently, We can get the team advanced more rapidly than in previous years. We will play harder and better football than in the past at the start aid the same improve ment as in former years should come as the season advances. This squad of players has the best spirit of any sutiad we have coached at Southi Carolina. The fellows are determined to winl. There are no dis gruntled men. ,veryone is doing his best and it is a rare pleasure to work with such boys. I have every confid ence in them. They are loori fighters. We should show ituch better in our openiig gaies tian in the past because the team is a week ahead of any we have had since I have coached here. Furthermore, the backs are fast and they should go like sixty in the early gaimes. No football outlook is so rosy as to be without its handicaps. We have imatv weaknesses which showed up tinexpectedly, but with tic type ofi mien oi the field working as they are the coaches believe titese weaknlteses Cain he corrected before our big gaies.

Tie ,itizeins of the city are begiming to be protid of having such a noble institu tion in its midst. It is one of the places to which they first bring their friends and visitors. The first building falling into tle hands of the painters was Davis College. Here are the Academic classes to be lotind. It was built inl 1909 and naned in honor of R. Ieamis Davis, Professor of History, 1882-1904. No work of illy conseqtence has been done to this muilding since its construction, until this sumuer. All of the woodwork on the itside has been re-paint-d with cream white. All the brick surface has been treated to several coats of Truscon paint that makes it show up well at a great distance. The color scheme em ployed on this building is to be made the general color scheme for all of the ither buildings that have not been so fortunate as to fall into the hands of lite painters. A very heavy grade of liin oleuim has been plit in the halls and on tle stairs to deaden the soonds from the shoes of the students loaded down with knlowlege. 1 ,aconte College, llore commonly kmown as the science building, was built in 1911. It has been the recipient of several cats of paint. Ille same color schenie ling used as that used on I )avis. There are nl4 more leaks inl the ro f acc"r(lig t' .larsIall Canltey.
