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.'?

Stress Ideal Life of
Service
Bishop Kirkman G. Finlay spoke at

the Kings, when jehosaphat, king of
the Ancient Kingdom of Judah sent
out Priests, Levitts, and Princes thru
the land to instruct the people in the
law of the Lord. He emphasized the
importance of the people in every
walk of life helping the cause of edu

this wvork of educating the youth."
At the regular chapel meeting
Thursday the 8th, Rev. 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."

Series of "Make Yourself at
Home" Programs By the
Boptist Church
The very thought of going "home"
gives us a thrill. Now we can't 'all
get home for the week-end but we can
have a little touch of home life right
here in Columbia. The Young People
of the First Baptist Church are hosts
every Sunday afternoon in the Church
Parlors from 5:30 to 6:30 P. M. Some
of the University Students have en
joyed this occasion before the holiday
season, but they want miore to come
and enjoy the hour. There is the Re
ception Committee who will give you
the 'glad hand' and make you feel very
much at home. 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. A cor
dial invitation is extended to all.
Come on co-eds; cone on fellows let's
go this Sunday afternoon; meet you
at Hampton and Sumter Streets at
half past five.
