The rush of the holidays made it impossible to gather the material necessary but the series will be resumed in the next issue. The fellow who asks a girl for a kiss doesn't stand half a chance with the live wire who kisses a girl first and then ask her how she likes it. Eat drink and be merry, for tomor row your bootlegger may get caught. It is also announced that there will be no more rain. all Opponents B E T W E EN [::A S K E T S The Intercollegiate cage season will open at Carolina next Friday night with the University of Georgia furnishing the opposition for the Gamecocks. Since the Gymnasium has been remo deled and portable seats and balconies added there should be ample seating ac commodation and EVERY Carolina man and woman should be out to root at EVERY game. The Gamecocks appear to have bet ter prospects for a winning team in 1925 than in many seasons past. A glance over the schedules will show that the Birds have a long hard road to travel. And when the Southern Conference tournament is held the Birds expect to go to Atlanta with a will and capture the flag for Carolina. Every little bit of support at the home games will help accomplish this end. Don't forget thq Freshmen, Coach Stoney says that the yearlings will have a mighty good team and that one of the two squads entered should take off the league title. The Biddies will also have several in tercollegiate contests with the rats of other schools. Let's give them the sup port they deserve.

Go to it I The team will appreciate it. Say you fellows. It's no disgrace to take a "date" to a game. Mayhap she would enjoy it for a change. And some of the games will be followed by dances. So step out. Next week we may have something to talk about-till then "Thing It Over." -U.S.c. CAN YOU BEAT IT? A little lass not quite sixteen, Boarde4 the train for college.
