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..

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.
Plans for the dates, squads and
games are not definitely known and
will not be announced until Coach
Bocock returns from Atlanta, but it
is reported among the players that
three games will be played on Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday. 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.

standard, to help make Carolina a bet
ter~ place in which to live, too provide
entertainments for visiting teams of
any sort, to help Carolina's standard
thruout -the state, to aid freshmen at
the beginning of each scholastic year
and many other such important aims.
