NEXT MONTH ANNUAL HEAD ASKS STUDENTS TO BUY NOW MARCH SEVENTH LAST DAY The Business Manager of the "Gar net and Black" has just announced that the subscription list of the Car olina annual will be closed on March 7th and all those who have not subscribed by that time will be "out o' luck" as regards a copy of the year book for the session 1924-25. , Appli cation may be made to either Charles C. Fishburne or Clyde White, who will be glad to place your name on the annual list. The "Garnet and Black" is a com plete book, fully pictorialized, describ ing the college and campus life of Car olina. It is well worth the minimum price of three dollars, as it contains pictures that may not be obtained otherwise, and which may be brought up in future years as a remembrance of former days. It is printed by the students and for all the students and alumni and cannot be made a success without the hearty co-operation of all students. It is the place for all stu dents to do their part to make the an nual a descriptive volume worthy of our Alma Mater. Almost every year there is a bunch of stragglers who fail to get their names in, in time to get their copy, and so the staff urges that all get their names in within the next few days, and procure their receipts. Remember that the !ast day is March 7th, so DON'T FORGET.. -u.s.c. FOOTBALL GAMES HERE NEXT WEEK Schedule Only Tentative-To be Announced By Bocock. Next week on Davis field three foot ball games which have been looked forward to since the beginning of spring practice will be played. Anyone who wants a taste of the favorite au tumn sport may come out and be treated, for from all indications the contests will be well played and hard fought.

Two of the affairs will be free and for one the general public will be charged. From the fifty men out it is not known how many squads will be pick ed. At present there are two squads of about equal strength. One has the varsity line of last year's team and a scrub backfield while the other has old veteran backs and an inexperienc ed line. During Bocock's sojourn to Atlanta the men have been in charge of "Roos ter" McF?addin who was very materi ally assisted by Frankie Meyer. They have had the teams running signals and doing heavy work for about three weeks and have the players well bro ken in and ready to contend for the supremacy of their respective positions.
