A Memorial

His Love for Sports
M'LEOD MAKES ADDRESS
Gamecocks Beat Maryland and
Open New Athletic Field
in Real Style
Melton Field, the University of
South Carolina's new and beautiful
athletic field, was dedicated Saturday,
with simple but impressive and ap
propriate exercises. The f'eld, one of
the ambitions and desires of the late
president of the University for the
school now stands as a memorial -to
his love of the institution and holds
hi; name that athletics at th. Univer
sity of South Caroliaa wil: always have
his ideals as the standard for which to
aim, in victory or deicat.
The dedicatory exerctses were held
just preceding the Carolina Maryland
game. The formal opening received a
fitting climax when the Gamecocks
unexpectedly conquered the invaders
by a decisive score.
After the crowd had assembled, the
Carolina band, with its members dress
ed in white uniforms, marched down
the center of the field, followed by
Governor Thomas G. McLeod; Dr. S.
V. Sanford of the University of Geor
gia, president of the Southern Confer
ence; Dean L. T. Baker, acting presi
dent of the University; Dr. Ralph K.
Foster of the advisory athletic coin
mittee of the University, and Mrs.
Foster; Miss Henrietta Melton, daugh
ter of the late Doctor Melton, N. H.
Edmunde and others. .'he band took
a position near the southern goal posts
and the governor and the party with
him assemble nearby.
The crowd was very quiet as Dean
Baker presented Governor Mcl,eo-l.
The scene w.'s at impressive one. The
sun shone down from a ',1-i sky w:th
summer ardour; the green of the field
contrasted sharply with the white of
the uniforms of the band and the two
great stands, almost filled with a crowd

NEW MAN GIVEN
RHODES A WARD
IN DECEMBER
Appointment of Sparkman, For
mer University Student, Ex
pires Next Year
TWO THOUSAND IN CASH
Applications Must Be in by 23rd
of October-Carolina Men
Win Award Often
This is the year for the award of
one of the Rhodes' Scholarship. The
appointment is to be announced somc
time in December, and all applicants
are urged to get their applications to
the committee before October 23.
The last man to go was a University
student, Thorne Sparkman, in 1924.
The man to take his place will be ap
pointed this winter and will sail for
England next fall, to spend three years
in intensive study at Oxford Univer
sity, one of the oldest colleges in ex
istence. A graduate of Davidson Col
lege goes this year from South Caro
line, Robert Davidson, of Chestcr, w ho
last week. J. L. Mills, of the Univer
sity, was alternate with Davidson.
Since the establishment of these
?cholarships by Sir Cecil Rhodes. a
brilliant scholar and philanthropist, tw-)
men from each state, every three year,
have been given a chance to study at
Oxford. The scholarships do much ta
promote a good spir't in our own
schools, as they are well worth com
peting for, and the appointment is
based on character, leadership, an-l
athletic records, as well as scholarship.
The award has a cash value of about
two thousand dollars per year, which
comfortably brovides for the student
during the school year and the sumii:r
mnonths.
The University has had a goo I
share of the men to go from South Ca
rolina. Among them have been
'Thorne Sparkman, now in his last year
over there, Professor Joseph Norwood.
on the faculty here, and Irving Belstr
a prominent lawyer of Columbia and
secretary of the comm'ttee which
awards the scholarship.

Glee Club May
Go on Trip to
New York City
Invitation Extetded to Club to
Enter National Contest
in That City
MANY SONGSTERS TRY OUT
If State Championship Is Won
Club Will Go to Birming
ham for Contest
Prospects of a trip to New York
have aroused unusual interest in the
Carol'na Glee Club this year. There
were so many applicants out the first
week that the old music room was
filled to overflowing, and the big room
on the bottom floor of the Y. has had
to be utilized for practice.
Mr. Matterson states that the voices
are unusually good, and there is no
reason why the club should not win
the state' glee club contest which will
be held here the second week in No
vember. If the state contest is won,
a tr:p will be made in February to
Birmingham, Ala. for the Southern
contest.
Huger King, president of the club
has been working hard for several
fine trips. The first will be made in
the lower state, probably taking in
Sumter, Lake City, Florence, -Mullins,
bishopville, and Camden. The club
has been working hard in preparation
for this trip, and an excellent program
will undoubtedly be the result.
The glee club season will culminate
in a tr p to New York, and arrange
nents are already being made for a
schedule that will take in the towns
along the route. The club has been
invited to enter the National Contest
which will be held at New York, and
if it is as success'ful as it promises to
lIe at present this will undoubtedly a;
:ione.
The glee clubbers will get a rest for
the remainder of the week, as Mr.
Matterson has been :nvited by Mrs.
sprague Coolidge to attend the muw
festival at Wastington as the represen
tative of South Carolina. This is an
anusual distinction, as only the leading
mrusicians of the country have been
hus honored. -This will necessitate
iis he'ng away for the remainder ',f
he week, but he is expected back for
\londay afternoon's practice.

STAGE SOCIETY
OPENED SEASON
THURSDA Y NITE
"Arms and the Man" Presented
With Excellent Cast at the
Town Theatre
STARTING EIGHTH SEASON
Many Carolina Students Take
Roles in Bernard Shaw's
Play Presented by Reed
This week-end marks the opening
of the eighth season of the Columbia
Stage Society under the direction of
"Danny" Reed, with Bernar 1 Shaw'
"Arm. an. the Man."
TQie stage society has gone through
many trials And triumphs during these
eight years, but straight along there
has been a sympathetic audience en
couraging experiments and new creat
ions in order to give Columbia one of
the outstanding little theatres in th.
country.
"Arms and the Man" is written in
Bernard Shaw's usual above the head
style but suprising!y real and life-like
when one sees it acted. The costumes
of the Bulgarian and Servfan soldier:
with those of a Bulgarian nan-servant
and a fier v maid give a picti.rcsque ef
fect that ; utvusual.
Mr. Charles Cuttino, a law student.
is playing a leading role as the non
chuiant, happy-go-lucky professiona'
soldier opposite Mrs. Emmie Grey, the
would-be sophisticated daughter of a
Bulgarian commander. "Dannv" Reed.
himself 's doing his usual delightful
stuff as the Bulgarian officer, and fond
fatner of "Raina." R. B. Hildebran.l
is in the part of at .er,;a n -fi"er, ;.nd
Bill Holland. Carolina's former athleti.
star is doing great justice to a big role.
Another former Carolina man, Cole
man Karesh, is also figuring in thi;
first play of the season.
There will be a performance tonight.
a matinee tomorrow afternoon and
again Saturday n'ght.
Immediately after this show is off.
the program the big pageant will begin
in dead earnest. Tle huge stage out
at the fair ground is already built and
Mr. Reed will have his cast there from
time to time, holding -:trenuous re
hearsals the whole of next week.
