With lung Bus Wise as the champion tosser and Bill Boyd doing the rought stuff Carolina had it all over the other teams until she met the University of Georgia. In the final game for the championship of the con ference Georgia beat the University by 1 point. In the first half Carolina allowed the Crackers but one field goal but in the last half the Georgians camne back with a determination to wini. Just a few minutes before the game was over the score was tied. Carolina forged ahead with another field goal only to be tied again by the Bull Dogs. Then just as the final whistle was blown the Georgians had the chance to brow a foul goal and made it good winning the champion ship by one lone point. In the baseball, the Gamecocks lest to Georgia Tech by an incident that is rare on the baseball field. The game had been nothing to nothing for five innings.

The orderly affairs were for once thrown into a state of disorder. There was a thief in the house I For the past week things had been disappearing and no one had been able to lay sus picion on the occupants. After cross-examining the servants carefully Robert Bridges was no near er a solution to the mystery than he hand been at first. And it would never do to let the guests know that something had gone wrong. Two nights of sleeplessness convinced him that some outside help must be sought. He wired Scotland Yard. The evening express from London brought Sleuthy Sam, the Pride of the "Yard." For hours lie snooped about the house. To the hosts ques tions he had only one answer, "I have my suspicions." Days passed and Bridges grew more nervous. His guests attributed it to business worries. A constant vigil about the cabinet where the valuables were stored was fruitless. The culprit was as cunning as he was dishonest. At last, when it seemed that the matter was hopeless, Sleuthy Sam ad vised his host that the robber would be apprehended before night. An ap pointment was made for six o'clock in the afternoon. Armed with his army pistol, Brid ges met Sleuthy Sam at the back stairs. Noticing the automatic that the host had provided, the officers ad vised him to leave it in the library. As he said, "This is an instance of bnain matched against brain. The master mind will win out." They (lid not have long to wait. Down the stairs came the sound of cushioned feet. Past the watchers, concealed behind a door, the unsus pecting criminal slunk. Only a rest ing hand kept Bridges from crying out. When the footsteps had died away he whispered, "I cannot believe that he is the guilty one. I have trusted him as my dearest friend for years. No! I will not believe it." Nevertheless tie followed 1leu'thy Sam from the buiding. They caught sight of the figure making its way toward thee garage. Did this nican flight'? The pursuers hastened their step)s. Still unaware that he was followed the thief disappearedh behind the gar age. Always on the alert, the detec tive halted at the corner of the build ing and beckoned his host to look. The deciever, was before them dig ging rap)idly. In a moment he had finished. His boldness could be ex plimed only by the fact that the house hold wvas at dlinner. Besides, the deep cening twilight miade an effective cover ing. Thme digging finished, the stolen goods were dephosited and the of fen der straightened~ up anid walked away. Bridges favored laying violent hands on thme criminal but listened to wiser counsel. "You see," Sheuthiy Sam ex plained, "lhe might have buried his other robberies in a different place. If we wvere to confront him nowv we might never recover thenm." Five minutes p)assedl before they went to the spot the dasterd had just left. On his knees, Bridges soon renmoved the loose earth. There before hint lay the stolen goods that had been re mioved (luring the last wveek and a half I In spite of himiself Bridges had to confess that his confidence had been miisplaced." "Prince good old fellow that hie was had destroyed trust. After years of faithful service, the mas ter's favorite hound had sacked the Carlton icebox, sacred for centuries I" She-You know, I like variety-it's the spice of life. He-Well, my name's Hnzm WELL ROUNDED PROGRAMS MAKE LIFE PLEASANT GO TO BLUE RIDGE Eating and Hiking Round Out Religious Services and Talks Some ride, some walk, and in time to come, some will fly to that place where the best of college students meet. Whether we walk, ride, or fly, we must eat. There among those hills and thrils of that land of the sky we find an atmosphere of inspiration from the highest of all human experi ences. The old college spiit is brought forward, and brotherly love is fos tered as we eat and, at the same time, cheer each other, with a pep not equal led elsewhere. College yells are for ever passing ones ear, only to be ans wered by the cheered college. I say college, for the dining hall delegates know the other delegations as such. Besides, we get eats that are just suited for mountain climbing after a days work and the various committee meetings, lectures, prayer services, etc. I could not mention the varieties of physiological foods for some had names that are foreign to me. But they are good to the taste and all that satisfy appetite and give enjoyment ir eating. This food of the body,is brought by professors of a more valuable food. Namely, the reality of man's fondest and finest flowers, a beauttiful girl. Even China and Japan are represent ed by their bed. There flowers feed with cheerful glances and inviting smile, those native longings that one often starved among the bashful. Who would not be happy with good food for the stomach and better food for the head. Take it from me, you will be hungry but you can be filled. You will be filled with ideas and im pressions that will not fail to help mold your life for the better in the world, which is but momentary for us. - U.S.C. - STUDENT TELLS WHAT BLUE RIDGE LIFE MEANS Blue Rdige to one who has never visited there means a mountain dot ted here and there with buildings hoth large and small where each year students from every Southern state meets to solve the problems of this life.
