COACH EDGERTON TALKS v (Continued from Page OneC) will get here wvhiat you mother and father want you to have, the Chris tian influence teeded to hold your feet oi the ground. All of you men love vyour mothers; the Y. M. C. A. will fur nish enough of worship to make you love her more and because of her lov' make yo apprnach nearer God. "A great many fellows (lo't attend tl Y. M. C. A. because first: They feel it is a sort of sissy proposi tioi. Thev feel that they don't need to make subinissit,n to One higher. I can tell yIIn though that the first p) lace they go when inl trouble is to try and ap proach God. Let me ask you a prac tical question. You don't approach a perfect stranger and expect to borrow a ten dollar bill, do you? No. strangers v.I't accII(date you. ShImuld we ex pect God to be different? If for no other reason than frientdship with God 1 in case of emergency I urge you to at tend the Y. M. C. A. 'A fiootb)all team is composed of elev en men. I played on, one for three vtars that had live fellows who are now preachers. One 'of these years our manager was a preacher, making for that I ycar six preachers. These fellows were real men; ready to fight for the Col lege; ready to fight for the members oI the team individually, but always ready to fight and play the game straight. Preachers are the same sort of fellows a-; the rest of us; then life has a higher pirpose but they have the same feelings and the same temptations as other men. The men in college who attend Y. .M. C. A. are the same sort of men as he (ies who don't attoind except that they are making iriends with God; rounding into better mnic; preparing to be of more service to their community when they go back home. "\'What then should the Y M. C. A. mean tq a man just entering College. Its first service to you should be to con iitct vot with the Christian influoiees; an influience similar to home ,influence.

Glenn" is at all times wil ling to help a man out, even to the ex tent of being awakened at 2:00 A. M. to let a man sob into his car the sad news that his best girl kicked him (for the time being). The last regular speaker, Dr. Isa dore Shayer, of the University faculty spoke of a man's duty to himself and the evils that lay waiting for the man who does vot know how to use his new found liberty of action. This talk was presented in a very forcible man ner which the man who has just cut loose from "Mama's apron strings" will not soon forget. At the close of the meeting "Dr."Bill Colli.ns, University cheer-leader, took charge and soon had the new men put ting out the yells and "We Hail Thee Carolina" like (d timers. Cheers were also given for the Co-eds and the Y. M. C. A. Co-eds Serve The meal was prepared by the wives of members of the faculty, under the supervision of Mrs. J. A. Stoddard, and served by several pretty Co-eds, to whom too much praise cannot lie given. 190 Freshmen were seated at four lo)nIg tables, and the number of speakers, co-eds and (tlIers brouglit the num her to be fed up to about 215.

The Dean further ointed out the similiarities of the early it 'iiglish Courts and modiern American ti ies. "The early records were kept t< in membrane manuscripts, writton in o ,atin.

Purdy, Wittkowsky and Mer :hant act for the defense. Professor Rucker, of the Law fac lty was next introduced by the presid ng officer. His subject was, "Why re you at the Law School?" "There are too many people who are :oatented with the knowledge they have It hand, and are Aiot willing to hunt urther," said Professor Rucker. "Some Atdents are here for pleasure, while ithers have a purpose and intend to iecoime lawyers. I don't believe inl work di of the time, but when there is work 0 do. get busy and do it."
