Call to Gri
HARRY UGHTSEY TO HAVE
CHARGE OF PRACTICE
Carolina to Have Spring Football
Practice
At a meeting of the members of last
year's ivarsity squad, of the football
team, they went on record as favoritg
the beginning of spring football prac
tice so as to begin getting in shape for
next fall and not have to spend half of
the season in this phase of work Cap
tain Frankie Meyer called the meeting
together in the chapel last Tuesday af
ternoon. There were about thirty of
the old men out. They all seemed well
pleased with the idea and are going
to do all that they can to get more
members from the student body out.
They are working on the theory that
a man does not know what he is cap
able of doing until he gives himself
a try. Last year a (uarter back was
developed out of a player who had
never played at that positiovi before and
who, at the first of the year did not
want to make the try. lIti he gave it
a try and those who saw Jackie play in
the last few gaines of the season rate
him as the best quarter in the State.
Next year the followers of the game
will have another chanc'e to see himi in
action.
Coach Metzger has been in clo.e
touch with all of the men. Le h1a1.
sent every member of the squad a lel
ter with instructions that lie w:L:ts them
to follow in the spring practice. The
squad is to work ouit on ilondav.
Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:30
until 6:00, under the direction of
Coach Harry 1,ightsen, an ild Netz
ger player. L,ightsey made a great sue
cess at the Iligh School last fall in his
first try at coaching. He put the IHigh
team in the finals for the State title.
Coach Metzger is to come dow,n and
take active charge of the squad ahiot
tihe first of klare.i, Then they are to
underg(i niore extensive training. A!l
the members have pledged t() keep inl
as fine shape as possible during the
holidays and to report back early for
fall practice.
A new feature that is being put into
practice next fall is that of keeping all
of the players together. The eastern
addition to Woodrow is to he givei
over entirely to the members of tle
Varsity squad and are to be under the
imnmediate charge of Coach Metzger
and his assistants. In the past yeacs
the players have roomed all over the
camptis and have not been able to get
their much needed rest due to other
students staying up late in study, or
coming in from i) street and making
a lot of noise. This addition, when
completed, will be able to take care of
about fifty meni.
Graduate Manager Roger Heyward,
has p)romisedl thme squad some new
equip)ment that is sorely needled. IIe
is going to do0 everything pmossible to
have everything ini readiness when the
actual practice starts next fall.
At present there are about a half
dlozen football men out for basketball.
These men are nowv i.n great trim, and
as soon as their schedule is over they
are going to join thme squiadl on D)avis
Field.

This is the first meeting of the cin

being held in Greenville last year and
the second at Blue Ridge while the an
nual ile Ridge Conference was in ses
sio.n. It was at the Bilue Ridge meet
ing that tile present officers were eleet
ed, and are to hold office for the en
suing year. Fach school has two Imlem
hers In the coIuntcil. lVvery school -was
represetnted except Cletison. Carlisle
sent two represeitatives. also.
In calling the mueeting together Mr.
.10ltion I exIressed his regrets at tle
albsene of the presidevit and spoke a
few wrds about the type of man that
'resident Riggs, of Clemsonl, had rep
resented.
The first piece of llsilkss presented
was a study of Y. M. C. A. work It
the c( Illeges and inliversities ol our

pr-esident if eacii local association with
plans for the governing board. Thei
first priblem that tlie letter presented
was the electioi of officers. Thlis
biroutigh t forth soie discussimn frim
the delegates. Some agreed that they
needed a better method of electing
their officers. The weekly meeting
plrobleii seemed to be the most impor
t.wit of all problems. Pract ica II y
every delegate present made some re
mark about this matter and some real
good information was gotten fromi the
discussions.
Mr. Johnson told of the plans being
made for the formin'g of a Bible Insti
ttute in the State. Thea first meetinig
is to hec held at WVintharop College in
early April. It wvas aimounced that the
