Largest Crowd In History Ex

Fair Grounds
TEAMS HAVE GOOD RECORD
Both Teams Members of South
ern Conference-Neither
Have Lost Game
South Carolina's football classic, the
Carolina-Clemson game, will be staged
next Thursday at noon at the State
Fair grounds before probably the
largest crowd ever to witness a foot
ball game in the Palmetto state, and
there are many who predict that the
game will be one of the greatest ever
played in the state.
Both teams have fine records for
the season. Neither has bowed to a
foe as yet. It will be a clash between
two wonderful teams representing
two state institutions that have been
warm for friendly rivals for many
years. Both are Southern conference
members.
The South Carolina Gamecocks have
defeated Erskine College, University
of Virginia, University of Maryland
P.C. and the University of Chicago.
Clemson defeated Newberry College,Au
burn, Davidson, North Carolina State
and Erskine. It will thus be seen that
- both teams have impressive records.
South Carolina is coached this year
by Billy Laval, this being his first
season at the University, while Josh
Cody, former assistant Vanderbilt
coach, is in his second season at
Clemson.
The game will be witnessed by the
Governor of the State and his party,
the presidents of the two institutions
and their official parties, the president
of the state fair and many other
people high in public and social life
of the state. The Governor will oc
cupy a box on the Carolina side of
the field for one half and on the
Clemson side for the other half.
Rnth teams promise to be in good
condition for the classic. They have
been exceedingly fortunate in having
gone through the season thus far
without serious njury to any of their
men.
Always a great game, this year's
battle looms up as one of the best in
the history of the contests between
the two institutilons and the outcome
will be awaited with keen interest all
over the country.

Elementary Schools And How Tc

Note of Meeting
High school superintendents of Soutl
Carolina held their fall meeting at the un.
iversity chapel from Thursday througl
Saturday of last week, for the pt.rpos<
of discussing various features of educa
tional movements. It was attended b*
the superintendents and princpals oi
schools from the entire state.
The key note of the meeting was th(
elementary schools and how to improv<
them. One of the main questions ir
this respect was diserssed in a thirt
minute speech delivered by Dr. Harr%
Clark of Furman University, "Shoul
South Carolina Have the Eight Yeai
llementary School?" It was the con
census of the opinion as expressed b3
Dr. Patterson Wardlaw, Dean of Soutl
Carolina University school of education
that South Carolina's scvcn year elemen
tary school was far better than thi
northern eight year term.
"Heretofore the principal of the ele
mentary schools was nmore or less of
figure-head," says )r. Wardlaw. "H<
is becoming less and less so as a resul1
of the tendency of elementary schools t<
become centralized."
Several new resolutions were passed
the most important of which was passe(
changing the constitution of the meet
ings. There was also a resolution passes
in an attempt to preserve the old Wood
row Wilson home which stands in Col
umbia today.
When asked his opinion as to the pro
gress of the state school systems, Dr
Wardlaw replied that they had made tre
mendous progress in late years, not only
as to management but in the quality ol
wvork done in them. He admits thai
there is still a great deal of room for
improvement but that he is well satisfie i
with the progress to date and expect'
many great changes for the good in the
near future.

The Carolina Gamecocks made it five
straight last Friday in their triumphant
march to gridiron he'glits when the Pres
byterian Blue Stockings were reversed
on Melton Field, 13-0. From the open
ing whistle the game was never in doubt.
Wimberly, Beall, Zobel and Cooper, Car
olina's "our Horsemen", romped down
the field a few seconds after the openifig
kick-off for the first torchdown. The
Gamecocks seemed able to gain at will,
amassing a total of twenty first down to
P. C's four.
In the line, Rogers played his con
sistently good game at end while Juliaa
Beall was a tower of strength on defense
smashing numerous attempted line plays
over center. "Bru" Boineau, who was in
jected into the game as a substitute, got
away for several beautiftl off-tackle and
end runs, which made the Blue Hose'.;
defense look a little wobbly.
liinny Green. the Presbyterians' back
field ace, was covered from the begin
ning and failed to get loose on any of
his famous sprints.
