Those on the com mittee are as follows: C. G. Gunter, chairman; A. F. McKissick, A. C. Mann, and C. G. Wyche. Dr. D. M. Dotglas in delivering his address to the Alumni scorned the prop aganda that has been circulated over the state on the low morals of the school and urged the Alumni'to brand them as false. "The boys at the University," Dr. Douglas stated, "are a well behaved set of yousng men, and that rumors as to immoral conduct are both ridiculots and untrue." Coach Billy Laval made a brief talk, summing up the athletic situation and stressing the importance of cooperation between the students, athletes, alunni and directors.

That obligation is even greater because we each incurred it at a time when we could not then individually afford to re pay. It was an advance to each of us on honor that we should support the in stitution that has enabled us to take greater and more important positions in the world, to do more effective work than we could have otherwise accom plished. This expenditure of money should be returned for the education of those who follow us. Unless we do so we have prejudiced the opportunities of some one in our country to the oppor tunities that have been given us. If we could inctlcate this spirit of obligation amongst the men and women who have left our colleges and universities, the financial problems of our colleges and universities would he solved." The secretary of the Alumni Associ ation of the University of South Caro lina was much impressed with the abov piece written 1 the president of the United .,tates. It forcibly brings home the lack of moral obligations on the part of many, who have borrowed from the alumni loan find. This fund was s;tarted many years ago. 1w a very loyal alumnns Mr. Edwin G. Seihels, Today the fund is inactive because of the fari that those, who have borrowed from it in the past, have failed to repay their obligations. Every day the alumni of fiee has to refuse aid to worthy ap plicants because, as Hoover says, by the failure to repay "we have prej-diced the oppotrtinities of those who follow us." -U.S.C.

GAMECOCKS' ST POPULAR WITH MANY PAID ADMISSIONS I Chicago And Clemson Games Were High Lights Of Season By Julian Krawchek Whatever might have been the keen dissappointment of Carolina supporters at the loss of the annual football classic with Clemson last fall, the fact that the Gamecocks style of playing was pup ular with fans in many gridiron sectors of the nation was evidenced by the fact that over 100,000 people paid to see the Carolinians perform in ten games last season. The two high lights of the season as far as attendance is concerned, were the games with Chicago, which drew 35,000 people at the Illinois metropolis, and the game with Clemson induced 17,000 rabid supporters of both teams to brave a long automobile line and lay down their shekels for seats at the Fair Ground classic. The games with Fur man and Maryland on Melton Field, and the games with North Carolina State and Virginia away, all drew in excess of 8,000 people. The first year that the Laval system of football was introduced at Carolina saw the Gamecocks victorious in six out of ten games, including two hard fought ties with Citadel and North Car olina. P'owerful foes, such as Furman, Chicago, Maryland and Virginia all fell before the onslough of the Cavaliers and only four of their ten opponents were able to score on the hard fighting South Carolinians. Carolina's southern conference record stood at two wins, two losses, and on' tie. The Gamecocks :amc from behind in both the Maryland and Virginia games to win handily while losses to one of the heaviest and most powerful teams ever developed at Clemson, and a heart-breaking, last-game-of-the-sea son loss to North Carolina State were the two black marks on their confer enec standing. .\ tie with North Caro lina, fqught in a sea of mud, constitut ect the fifth conference game. Ilandicapped throughout the season by a lack of weight in both backfiel 1 and line, this played an important factor in the loss of only one game, the con test with Clemson. Contrary to popular be"lief, ('arolifia was not greatly out weighed in the game with Chicago. pr obtably not more than two potunds per man. 'I'he average weight of South Carolina's first team was a fraction ever 174 pmunds, backfield and line. An innwation in Sotihern fo (otball was introduced last fall when the Fox \I vitone News Reel staff made a s<.unl pictture of the Furman-Carolinna game on \lelton Field. Strangely enough this film was never brought to Columbhia, although it wvas shown in vario us ither sections of the country. Thlose whlo were fortenate enough to see these scenes from the news reet, coimmnenited most favorably on the ap parent strength of both teams and the splenidid wvork of the Carol inna chieerintg \ll in all, the first year it htilly I,.avafl's coach imu regime at Carolina saw athletics pic'k up in a general way at thme state inst itutioni.
