STAGE SOCIETY OPENS SEASON IN SHORT TIME "He and She" to be First Per formance Given by Colum bia Stage Society MANY PLAYS SCHEDULED Drama's by Shaw, Isben, Adams; Materlinch, and Others to be Produced The play, "He and1 She," will open the season at the Town Theatre. This is the beginning of the tenth anni versary of the Columbia Stage So ciety and from the looks of the sched ule it gives promise of being the best season in their history. The Town Theatre is the dramatic center of the University. Wiliam Dean, director of the theatre, conducts classes and prac tical instruction in drama and stage production for uiversity students. Not only does the student receive instruc tion in the theory of drama but the Town Theatre is used as a laboratory for the practical side of studying the production of plays, such as lighting effects, scenery and other mechanics of play production. Harry Davis, a former University student, received training at the Town Theatre which enabled him to secure the postion as the director of dra matics at Mississippi State College. Mrs. Harry Davis, formerly Miss Ora Mae Jackson, also a graduate of the University of South Carolina, received her training at the Town Theatre which equipped her for the position she now occupies in the dramatic de partment of Mississippi State College. Miss Sarah Quattlebaum and Ed ward K. Pritchard, University students, are to make their appearance at the Town Theatre in the opening produc tion of the season. Students will be used in productions throughout the season. Last year over fifty stu dents took part in Galworthy's play "Justice." Mr. Galsworthy gave the University special permision and rights to produce the play. Students of the Art Department furnish all the posters and special paintings for the theatre. A conversation was overheard re cently in which a party very much interested in drama stated that they had seen "The Showoff," a play pre sented here last year, in New York before seeing it here and that therc was very little difference if any in the effect and the masterful way in which the play was produced at both places. The "Showoff" has given fourteen performances and requests are still coming in asking that it be presented again. Some of the leading parts were taken by University professors and students. The same may be said of "Justice" and many others. The Gamecock orchestra and the Univer sity Glee Club added much to the theatre's program. The following are among sonic of the performances from which the schedlule for the tenth season of the Columbia Stage Society, at the Town Theatre, wlil be chosen.

C.-Furman Surprising by Lack of Scoring of Either Team CLEMSON LOOKS GOOD Justus Scores Lone Talley To Defeat North Carolina State In reviewing Saturday's game, the P. C.-Furman scrap was surprising in the lack of scoring, especially by Furman. The final score was only 6-0 in Furman's favor. P. C. was unable to gain through Furman's line or circle the ends, so they resorted to passes. Jimmie Green did get away for one or two nice runs. One of these, reinforced by a pass, threatened the Furman goal but the heavier Hur ricane line held. Ikey Clary and his interference run ner Harmon carried the ball 20 and 25 yards at a time. Clary is light but hard to get off his feet. Jimmie Green, as always, made con stant threats to get loose while his running mate Hogrefe was good for several nice gains. The Presbyterians tried nine passes one was intercepted, fiive were com pleted and the rest were grounded. Furman was very weak on offense, their intereference was poor and easy to spill. But then, maybe, the sly "Dad" Amis was only "Possuming." Clemson and N. C. State growled at each other in Florence Friday at the Pee Dee fair. The Tiger's defense was impregnable, holding the Wolf pack scoreless while the speedy Justus zot away for 35 yards and a touch down. The wily Justus has a habit of running upon the line of scrimmage time after time with little or no gain, then, about the time his opponents think he is mostly winded he slips off Fackle or around end for a long gain. Asbill kept the Staters back in their own territory by his long punts. The Wolfpack had a strong line, particularly the ends. These ends smashed some Clemson plays before they had time to get started. They also completed a few passes one for 30 yards. Mulherin was loose on receiving punts, juggling or fumbling and this w;ll cost a team the game if such men as Rogers, Wolfe and Griffin are going down on the punts. Although we do not play Wofford. her victory over Davidson was an other bright spot in Saturday's games. She looms strong and may materially effect the outcome of the state cham pionship. They have a line that opens up and a plunging fullback that takes adv~antage of the openings. Duv'all and H-owie, carrying the ball for long runs, ran the Citadel score uip to .32 against Newherry's lone tally. The Citadel has a good running at - w"ek and can he counted on to'make .ibstantial gains against any team. Thei Hulldog defense was off color as -1" vea'ker Indian's were able to make 10 first downs to Citadel's 14. USc Eleven Faculty Men Listed in "Who's Who" Two Hundred and Three persons Resident in S.

The sharp contrast between Friday and Saturday nights was as marked as the difference between the "Before and After" shoe exhibit in Murtiashaw's display window. Fri day .evening the campus was "down at the heel and out at the soul;" to judge by the miserable attendance at the pep meeting. Of a student body numbering more than 1,400, according to the registrar's count, one hundred heeded the call of the bell. Among these were many prominent campus figures, including about fifteen co-eds. The cheerleaders did their best, as usual, and the faithful handful made the chapel echo praise for Carolina. But their efforts could not redeem the failure of the thirteen hundred who were absent.
