D ASS-HINGSON HAVE BIG FIGHT jfWINS BY A KNOCKOUT cincounter Occurred Near Rut cd ledge on Last Monday "And further more, I'll beat h out of anyone who calls me a crook," said Harry DePass, former managing editor of The Gamecock and member of the Student Publications Board last Wednesday while striding on the green turf near the east wing of Rutledge College, the chapel building. DePass had visited the purlieus of Rutledge in search of certain persons who had slandered him with the charges of crookedness, high cause for resentment in one as soldierly erect as the ex-cadet from The Citadel. Impelled by frankness, and perhaps curious to learn.whether or not De Pass would carry out his promise of chastisement, Harry L. Hingson, de feated aspirant for The Gamecock editorship, stalked boldly to his room window. "Having known you since you came on this campus, I'll say that you are a crook," Hingson hurled at the irate law student, "and further more, I'll be right out to tell you so to your face." Following the words with the action, Hingson cleared for battle and stood before DePass. A few unnecessary ultimatums were exchanged, and then the war began. DePass struck several times at the elusive Hingson, small and agile. Hing son dodged all blows for some sec onds, but lost his balance when he tripped on a root. DePass tossed in several blows to the head, one of which landed on Hingson's left temple. It is rumored that the two pugilist's will enter training for the 1929-30 box ing squad, Hingson in the weight made famous by Bouncing Bob Lum ianski, and DePass to fill Harry Wolfe's shoes.

Clark who has been connected with the Geology de partment of the University for four years, recently announced that he will not be at the University next year. Professor Clark is associate professor of Economic Geography. While at the University, Professor Clark has done much work and re search in the field of invention. He has published a map showing the county names and county lines of every State in the United States. He has also prepared an index map of regional economics, politics, sociology, and culture in the United States and in the borSlering sections of Canada and Mexico. Of great interest is his recent coin pletion of a graphic geo-cyclometer, a device for determining the length of day in any city in the world. He is hoping to interest the Weather Bureau and Navy of the United States in the adoption of the instrument for official use. It is with much regret that the University loses Professor Clark. During the four years that he has been here he has done much to ad vertise our great University. Yates S. Williams; Oliver H. Ed wards; Roy Chamberlain; Iverson Hendry and John Paul Gramling.
