Captain Frankie Meyer of the Gamecocks will play his last game in the Garnet and Black uniform. Meyer is a spectacular player but also one of the best team workers in the game. He is an ideal leader and has inspired a fight to vic tory in his men when it -seemed as if they were battling for a lost cause. Meyer, a probable "All Southern" is at the height of his career and should play his best game Thursday. Other men playing their last game under the Carolina banner are Tom Brice, plunging halfback; "Buddy" McKee, stellar grard; and Blake Edmunds, al ternate guard and tackle, whose inter ception of a forward pass ultimately won the Clemson Game. South Carolina received something of a set back in recent results, losing to Furman and Sewanee, two purple teams, by the score of 10 to 0 after running up a string of wins that included Erskine, Presbyterian College, North Carolina State, University of North Carolina, The Citadel and Clemson. The only other team to defeat South Carolina is Geor gia who now leads the Southern Confer ' Supporters of the Gamecocks how er are very optimistic over the pros beets of the Birds in their last encoun ter of a most successful season. It is well known that Wake Forest has one of the most formidible teams in the itouthland but it is felt that the Soutl Carolinians had weakened a little under e strain of meeting and defeating four teams, two Southern Conference and two S.

The scrubs worked their passing machine for a touchdown in the later stages of the game. Several times the ball hovered near the goal posts, but the tie could not be broken.

W, BALL SPEAKS AT PRESS ASSOCIATION TALKS ON PUBLICATIONS "Outgoing Editor Should Choose His Succesor, He Knows the Best Man" "Popular eleotiop seldom igives the college publications the best editors," said Dr. Ball, dean of the school of jour nalism, in an address before the College Press Association in Greenville last Fri day. "The out-going editor should choose his successor because he knows the one who is most capable to hold the job." At the present time, colleges are known by the kind of athletic teams that represent them but the time is changing and soon schools will be judged by the publications that are put out," he continued. Qr. Ball concluded his talk by giving some very interesting and :seful hints to the college journalists. "When I was in school," he added, "Harvard did not have more students than the University at the present time. Now, Harvard is putting out a daily-very soon the larger colleges in this state will be doing the same thing." -U.S.C. GET-TOGETHER MEETING IS PLANNED FOR BAPTISTS J.

SENIOR APPLICATIONS DUE According to the report issued by the registrar's office Monday, December 1, will be the last clay for the filing of ap plication for degrees. Failure to take note of this fact will cause the students some embarassment if they expect to receive degrees in June.
