OWEN LOOKING BACK A WEEK IN FOOTBALL Carolina, Clemson and Furman Fall Before Out-State Teams All Three Held Opponents To Small Scores By Jay Em. Bee. Georgia 18, Carolina 0. Auburn 13, Clemson 0. Alabama 20, Furman 0. Presbyterian 0, Southern 0. Citadel 19, Wof ford 0. Newberry 7, Atlantic Scout Fleet 6. Erskin, idle. . While actual returns of the games played by South Carolina elevens against football teams of other states last week do not look very good, when sifted down does not look so terribly bad at that. One writer in speaking of the games last Saturday remarks that a few years ago the South Carolina teams would have met overwhelming defeat whereas this year the so-called three, Carolina, Clemson, and Furman, held three strong foes, Georgia, Auburn and Alabama to a average of 14 points. In the opinion of several of those who saw the game at Athens, all of the press accounts do 4iot give the Game cocks full credit. It is true that costly flmbles hurt the Birds but it is also true judging from reports brought back here that Georgia has a team that will have to be reckoned with when it comes to the Southern conference title dis tribution, unless signs of last Saturday go wrong. It is also a fact that Geor gia's ability to break up the Carolina passes helped the Bolldogs. The secrct (if it were a secret' has leaked out that a scout came down, saw the Caro lina passes and thedi went back to Athens JIlayed the F'reshman; 't'am against the Bulldog varsity and scored several touchdowns on the "older brothers." Tiger fought Tiger hard in Auburn, Ala. Clemson came out with the short end of the score, but made a very crc ditable showing against the Jungaleers of Alabama, press accounts state. The "educated toe" of one E. Williams who kicked two field goals followed by one touchdowvn beat Clemson. Furman lost to the University of Ala., and here again comes the story of' a stiff struggle. For the first half nei ther was able to score but superiority (Cpninued to Page Five) While the sporting Staff wvas with the Varsity in Athens the Carolina and P. C. Freshman entertained the fans in Columbia battling for four long periods to a scoreless dleadlock. P. C. had the edge in backfield work but as always the Carolina line held like a stonewall. Coach Brockington has a wonderful team of which more will be said later. The freshmani team that can beat P. C. and the Biddies will be State Champs. C. C. OWEN MI ON WAY TO 4 HENRY DELIVERS EULOGY AT SOCIETY MEETING TO CHARLES C. OWEN "We Cannot, Try As We May, Escape Always and at Every Point, Unhappy Destiny" The following speech was delivered by J. A. Henry, before the Clariosophic Literary Society at its meeting Tuesday night. The society dispe.ided with the regular program in respect for C. C. Owen who was a member. We regret with all our hearts the cir cumstances which have framed this oc casion. The students of Carolina in the time that has gone have witnessed many unfortunate occurences, sorrows that have been particularly our own. It must need be that these should come. We cannot, try as we may, escape al ways and at every point unhappy desti ny. But we may count ourselves favor ed in that few of the cases are so ex treme as that which bears upon us to night. Yet, in that refuse there is small consolation. It does not soften and lessen the grief which we feel as a society. Therefore, it is especially fit ting that we pause for a few moments to drop a flower on the memory of one who chose us and one whom we chose. The University paid as best it was able its tribute Saturday afternoon when its representatives stood bowed and i covered as the casket was lowered from the car at the Union Station No sound was heard have the cruunching of shoes on the pavement and the lumbering of the truck wheels as the procession moved from under the sheds to the exit. We knew no other homage to pay our fallen comrade. But we are met for an observaice at this hour. Every life carries its unpublished story. Its aims and its hopes so often are buried deep iii its own depths. Few who touch anothers life are aware of the secret aspirations and longings that im pel it. There is a fascinating mystery about life of one who is pursuing. noise lessly, an even tenor of way. In a great measure, this was true of our departed friend. We knew him as one who by patient continuance in well doing seem ed to set aside for high desigis. We tlo not lament one whose life had unfolded an( which had spread itself amidst the walks of men and had claim ed its treasures on his own terms; but we lament one who, like ourselves, had only begun the steep ascent into the world of usefukiess and service.
