Ice cream, women and song played an important part in the success of the so cial given by the Clariosophic society Tuesday evening in honor of the retir ing administration. Mr. Russell made a wonderful address of welcome. (It was not known in what language he was speaking until he hand ed a copy of his address to someone to look up the words and state in simple langvpge what .was said.) Mr. W. L. Crocker was on the pro gram for a few minutes of foolishness and certainly did, caise at least one or two laughs. The orator of the evening was Mr. Purley Thompkins, South Carolina's nominee for president. Mr. Thompkins gave his famous lecture on "Marriage." The debate consisted of a berbal bat tle between Miss Hancock and Miss Swindell on one side and Messrs. Henry and Hankins on the other. The question was about the rights of the fair sex and the team composed of Hank and Henry vamped the ladies who were judges to such a degree that they won the decis ion. Mr. M. K. Walsh held the audience spell-bound for several minutes with his songs and banjo. Mr. Walsh responded to the numerous encores with "On the Road to Mandalay." Dr,ring the debate, ice cream was served continuously. For once, there seemed to be enough for everybody and one young gentleman, who is an assist ant in the gymnasium, swiped a whole block of ice cream and carried it to the Woman's Building for a certain young lady who sometimes draws cartoons. -U.s.c.

Leroy Griffin I,oyd Hendricks Eugene Simms Hinton Smith -U.S.c. Pa Changes His Point Of View A young man attending college be came infatuated with a young lady but before proposing to her wrote his fa ther for parental advice. Following is the answer he received in the due .course of time: Dear Son Charles: Marriage is a wonderful institution if you find the right mate. The best ad vice I can give you is to compare your girl to your mother, with whom I have been so ideally happy for the past thir ty years. If she can even opproximate your dear mother's homemaking housekeeping and always even temper, you are a lucky man, and I give you my b)lessinlg andl advise you to grab her at once. Your loving ......... Father P. S.-Your mother has just left the room. Don't be a damn fool. Stay single. People who live in rented houses should not write telephone numbers on the walls. TIhe first sign of fall is when milk begins to taste like the cowv has been eating 01(1 straw hats. Wish we could train moths to eat the same holes every year. They eat grasshoppers in South Amer ica, and it might be a good idea for our at:to-dodging I)edestrlans to try the diet.

BROCK'S BIDDIES LOSE TO TIGER CUBS 12-6 Clemson Yearlings Display Great Comeback to Win in Final Perio&" The Tiger Cubs showed their teeth in the fourth quarter Saturday afternoon ard came through with two touchdowns which beat the Carolina Biddies, 12 to 6. The game on University field Saturday afternoon was hectic in that it was any body's until the last whistle. The con test was not without its amusing features either. For three quarters the Carolina Fresh men outplayed the Clemson first-year men but after Brockington's Chicks scored the first touchdown -of the game an array of subs were sent in for the young Jungaleers and they seemed to carry the match which ignited the fire works and when the smoke from the pyrotechnics had cleared away, the Tiger Cubs were one touchdown better than the Biddies. The Biddies played in and out foot ball. They lost a chance to tie the score when Norfull recovered a block punt on Clemson's 12-yard line but a bad pass to Swink sent the opportunity a' glimmering. The game saw "Buster" Holcombe in the role of quarter and the Charleston lad ran the team well until he was taken out on account of injuries. Midkiff, Chandler and Martin were among the bright stars for Clemson, Timmerman was another who came in for a share in the glory, Link, a Fort Mill lad, ran his team in fine style. In addition to the good work of Hol combe, Capt. Robert Wimberley played a very clever game in the backfield. Holcombe's passing as well as his gen eralship was of a splendid calibre. The first two periods were mostly a kicking duel. In this half the Tiger Cubs failed to register a first down. In the third period following a series of gains Holcombe shot a pass to Mc Qreen for 14 yards and a touchdown. Then the Clemson subs went in and then the bomb began to sizzle and finally exploded in the fourth quarter. A pass Chandler to Cuttino gave them one touchdown and the other came when Chandler skirted 13 across the chalked line for another counter. Neither Carolina nor Clemson could add the extra point.
