Review of Last Week
The Gamecock will give his own ver
sion of the Carolina-Furman game last
week. 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. The Bulldogs se ond string

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.

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."
