Just to get the connection in this column it might be recalled if any might by chance have forgotten it that Furman won the game 34 to 0. The driving attack of the Big Wind, the beautiful interference and the strong defensive proved too much for the game fighting Birds. Clemson gave University of Georgia a very good battle but was succumbed 32 to 0. The Tigers threatened to score once.

DAT WOMAN'S CLUB HEARS LECTURE AY REED SMITH Dr. Dillard Entertains Columbia Cub at the Co-ed Dormitory WALT WHITMAN IS TOPIC History of Whitman's Life and Influence Is Dealt With - The Womani's club w;s entertained at the Woman's building yesterday after noon with Dean Irene Dillard as hos tess. The speaker of the hour, was Dr. Reed Smith, who spoke on Walt Whit man. "Walt Whitman," said Dr. Smith, "is a pioneer of the peotry movement. Just what influence this wandering, compara tively uneducated carpenter-whose peo try is so different from that of Spenser, Chaucer and Wordsworth-had upon the poetry of Sandburg, Lowell and Edgar Lee Masters is difficult to estimate, but it is certainiy that he affected it pro foundly. "There were two events in his life that softened and sweetened him. The first was the service he saw as a nurse in a Washington hospital during the Civil war. Here he was a sympathizer, a companion who loved men and proved a real friend to them. The second event was a tramp of about eight thousand miles that he took when he was twenty. Tihe knowledge thus gained increased his admiration for the different sections, and broadened hin. Although he was an ardent admirer of Lincoln, he was not provincial. "But we are not to see only one side of team was on the field. The first team was shot back in P.D.Q. and the Jun galeers were held on the two yard line or thereabouts. Wofford and the Citadel staged a merry little tussle at Charleston with the score ending at six all. The other game played last week was at 'Newberry with the Indians playing the Blue Stockings a great game and losing by a count of 13 to 0. rHES teOrder cssH UNIVERSITY ) OVER YOUTHFUL OR DISTINGUISHED UNITED STATES.

Gamma Kappa Sigma Furnishes Clubroom Gamma Kappa Sigma, local grouo petitioning the Kappa Sigma' fraternity, has taken rooms above the dining room of the Gamecock Walk Inn on Sumter street, and expects to be at home to its friends the first of next week. The club has planned a banquet to take place at the Jefferson hotel on Monday night, in honor of the Kappa Sigma alumni of this secction. Dr Davison M. Douglas, president of the University, and Hugh T. Shockley, of Spartanburg, District Grand Master of the fraternity will be among the guests. Fank K. Clarke, junior law student, is president of the local. W. A. Brunson, school of journalism, is sec retary, and A. D. Bates, academic school, treasurer. The group was formed by three members of the Kappa Sigma frater nity from other schools: Hubert Yar boro, Washington and Lee; W. Clark son McDow, Wofford, and Gene Stone, Georgia Tech. Whitman," contistued Dr. Smith, "it is not to be denied that he is partly ani mal, crade. His is the sin, not of bad morals, but bad manners. He never mar ried, although he knew many women. Whitman attempted to glorify father hood, but failed miserably. "His first poem, 'Leaves of Grass,' published in 1855, was something funda mental and original. It has been esti mated by students of Whitman that his works co:ain all the characteristics of the new poetry except two. He discards rhyme and rhythm, although his "Leaves of Grass" came out at the same time Wordsworth's perfect "Hiawatha' did. "Whitman seems a sort of ancestor of contemporary poetry. Certainly if it had not been for his works, the poets of 1912 who broce through the walls of tradition about poetry would have found their work much harder. Whitman has var rived,' so to speak. In my estimations" concluded Dr. Smith, "he is cerainly one of America's greatest poets, if not the greatest." ink., sk.sU en a mwe b.et.e,, and ea Lif.ettuue en Winners Whtevi of perfo: pen and sure Win money o teed unlC the writi It coats "Lifedbme" p Braeburn SMART STYLED TWO PANTS S-U-I-T-S at $40.00 Coggins & Johnson 1300 MAIN STREET - BOYD B.
