KEN HEAR BOCOCK ON UNIVERSI1Y ATHLETICS SPEAKS AT "Y" MEETING Mentor Says We Have- No Room At Carolina for Shirkers "Athletics must be put on a basis of hard rock," sadi Coach Bocock at the regular "Y" meeting Sunday night. "Only through those that expose Chris tian Principles can we * accomplish something in athletics. This is the hard rock upon which we build our foundation of athletics. "Athletics outnumbers all the other activities of this college and most other colleges, and for this reason we must put through clean athletics. We have social laws that exist solely for the enjoyment of the members. But in athletics, we work not only for our bwn good but for the good of this University. "Every man ought to contribute his talents to the University," As serted Coach Bocock. !'We can glad ly spare the lounge-lizard and the cake-eater, but the man who is talent ed, who beleives in his God, and who puts Christianity into practice is the fellow who is most needed. If a man is a consistent worker, a deneir of re trograding .things, and a real booster, he has a real life ahead of him. "Athletics must be a means to an end," he continued, "And we must build our athletic hopes on a solid foundation. It must not be a question of which team is victorious, but how each plays the game. "Therefore," he concluded, "it is a case of putting something back and not getting it all. We must contri bute something to our old Alma Mater. In every student, every ath!cce, there must be the spirit of Christ in ser vice, of sacrifice, and of the willing ness to do something.'? - U.s.C.

Gunter, pas tor of the Washington Street Metho dist church, spoke. He emhpasized the wonderful opportunities and prin ciples one has while in school. "If I were to live over my college life," said Rev. Gunter, "First, I would live the wvell rounded life ; the life of spiritual, mental, and physical training. Second, I would not wor ry.. Some worry about many things, such~ as boks, girls, and other such things. I would work, do my best, and leave the rest alone. Third, I would be enthusiastic. I would take much interest in all campus life, not only books and studies, but also liter ary societies, athletics, the Y. M. C. A., etc. L'astly, I would be honest; noth ing is better than a true, honest, straightforward boy or girl."

Then, there is the pia no around which all gather and sing those home-like songs and hymns which cheer the heart. Yes, there are a few mothers there to give that 'homey' atmosphere to the room (what would home be without a mother); and girls too, 'the fairest that 'ere the .un shone on:' they drive away that homesick feeling. Then we have those beautiful solos and readings and last but not least come those delightful sandwiches like mother used to make, and tea and coffee, and cakes to drive away that gnawing within.
