'Tle basketbhall seas.on is overI as far as thIs ye ir is coniccered There is no other sport that will call for ie use of' bleachers at the gym nasiuma during thr- rest of' the year; bt.t because of' the large crowd that faeIled to witness the hIgh School games of several weeks ago, thIs is a litting time f'or anu article on the sbove topic. Earlier in the year the Gamecock carried an article pleadIng for bIeneehers in the gym Marc tIe people have been turned away from the door because they could not find room to witness some of the college games. The management promisel to reme<dy this condition. The plac inl gof benches along the side lines lielptI to some extend. They cared lor the extra crowds at the college games, but the sport of basketball is growing in this city. Larger crowds .ijre turninig out, and must be hand led. In fact, hundreds of people :'amt in cars for the high school gaines and were denied admittance becaie the crowd on the floor could not be handled. Several spectators 1ailcied that if thcre had been bleachers along the side lines every body could have been seatcd. They weren't there tho, and that is past I istoIy. Another basketball season will be h ir before we know it and nothing .vill have been done to care for this ituation. This article is written ho) ng to urge the proper official to con iler t is matter now and to bgin to provide bleachers for the coming year.

There may be other answers that could be made, but it Is an ac(knoiwledgeid fact that some th ing shtotuld be done1 to create inter est. Visiting teams come to the e:ampius and1( get only small auidiences. It discourages them greatly. Our teamis always hiave lar'ge crowds ot wvhen they deb)ate on foreign fields. It Is a dutty to the visiting teams to have tmuch larger crowds out to hear them. Last Saturday, the Carolina team representing the negative side of the question debated by the Georgia-Vir gin ia-Carolina Triangle had the pleas ure of speaking before an audience well over a thousand. The other team also had a large audience. Here on our campis there were hardly one hundred out to liear the visitors. The debate at At.hens, Ga., was held in t.ie morning during the regular chapel exercises. Thus a large number of students present. One Imlember of our faculty has suggested that the present plan of speaking at night be changed to the regular chapel hour. He sayh that it will mean a much larger audience. We agree with the gentlenlan. Something should be done. Almost any plan would be bet tor than that used. A new plan should not be condemned until it has been given a trial. We would suggest that the Debating Council look into the matter and work out some policy that would prove much better. --U.S.C.
