Jimmy Driver's Record
High As Artist of
Cinder Paths
Now that track season is niot far in the
offing, it will not be amiss to mention one
man on the Carolina campus who holds
a'record in that sport which, as far as
is known here, has not been duplicated
in the country.
James G. Driver, it was learned yester
day from one of the University coaches,
was on the track team of William and
Mary college while at that institution
years ago and in one meet took nine
first places for his team. He was a win
ner in almost all forms of track work
which was engaged in. Besides being
a premier athlete in this branch of sports
Mr. Driver also starred in football and
baske.ball.

Hoboes' Club Has Two

TRAVEL TO ASHLAND OHIO
Very Few Kind-Hearted Motor

Shades of the indomitable Charlie
Parsons and his equally indomitable
"hobo club" which accompained Caro
gina's football team via fast freight,
blind baggage, bummed rides, and na
ture's own two feet. Two more in
nocents were added during the Christ
mas holidays to the distinguished roster
of the hoboes. Lester Straits and Ernie
Robinson have presented their credentials
and have been accepted into full member
shin and privileges of these campus cele
brities.
Demonstrating the age-old theory
that "where there is a will there is a
way" these two Gamecocks hit the mud
dy pike for home-Ohio from a dearth
of the filthy lucre or desire for the ex
perience. But it was begun, and con
pleted.
Much in the manner of the song-fam
ed adventurers who were siezed with the
Wanderlus, the sons of Carolina decked
themselves in all possible wraps. Start
ing from the ground up they wore, in
order of appearance, heavy shoes, wool
stockings, knickers, sweaters, overcoats,
and everything else that could be piled
on. To prevent observers from mistak
ing them for urattached hoboes or just
plain bums, the hikers pinned Carolina
banners on their backs.
Unsung and unheralded, the "hoboes"
pulled their freight the Friday before
Christmas. Fifty miles from Columbia
the hikers realized that they had for
gotten to bring their hats. A cold, driv
ing downpour of rain made them pain
fully aware of their oversight, and they
bought the necessary headgear-the
in'erview did not reveal whether they
purchased one hat, or two.
Three days were necessary to leave
the muddy sloppy roads of South Caro
lina and step on thq equally slimy slip
pery roads of Georgia. At Knoxville
Tennesse a snowstorm and blizzard
greeted the travelers.
"I mean to tell you it was cold", wvas

sunshine. "I thought any minute my
ears were going to freeze and crack off.'
TIhe "tourist" got little assistance
from good-hear:ed motorists. Accord
ing to Robinson not more than a half
a dozen rides wvere offered during the
entire trip.
Christmas wvas a great day in Ash
land, Ohio. Two of the distinguished
sons returned to the parental roof to
hang up their stockings. Probably the

Sixty-two co-eds are out for 'laces on

sity. Saturday afternoon, the Seniors
Juniors will form a team and. practice
from 3 to 3:45, the Sophomores will
practice from 3:45 to 4:30 and the Fresh
men from 4:30 to 5:15. The girls going
out for basketball are required to pur
chase a rule book and study all the points
of the game.
After exams are safely over, the hik
ing club will be organized and in full
sway-at present the organization is be
ing perfected and probably one or two
hikes will be taken during the next few
days.
A committee composed of two repre
sentatives from each class, Miss Smith,
Miss Cantey and the president of the
Co-ed Athletic association are at work on
a constitution for the girls.
This constitution will include train
ing rules, points on eligibility, and awar
ds. One of the main questions of dis
cussion will be the kind of award for
the girls, and whether to win it, the
athlete must have starred in one sport,
or shall have starred in one branch and
participated in one other line of sport.
It is certain that a certain average in
studies will be required before a girl
can win the award.
The University is a member of the city
league, but no schedule has yet been
announced and the class schedule has
not been completed as yet, but will he

Cutprit Draws Line at
Stealing Peppers

When the energetic students of art
went to the studio in Flinn Hall last
Monday morning all fresh and with re
newed inspira- ion from the week-ends
rest their hopes were soon dashed to
earth because some unfeeling rogue had
raided the rooms during the week-end
and taken every piece of valuable fruit
which Miss Heyward had so diligently
searched for in every Piggly-Wiggly to
town, from the carefully arranged studies
and left the students nothing on which
to expend their zeal.

had some taste, whether artistic taste
or not we will leave you to decide, but
