T!=a^mmTmTm " 1 Alumni < Alumni Trail The annual battle between the Tar Heels of the Old North State and the Gamecocks of the more southerly commonwealth, which will be featured as the outstanding attraction of the South Carolina homecoming celebration on November 9, will probably be transferred to the stadium at the State Fair grounds, according to a recent announcement by Barney A. Earley, secretary of the Alumni As- 1 sociation. ( Two thousand Alumni are expected , to return to the old familiar scenes of ( their college days on that day and , plans are under way to make it the big- , gcst day of festivities that the old | graduates and former students have ever experienced on a return trip to , the Alma Mater. They will come from , far and near I riding, flying, walking, , hobbling, and staggering to again exchange greetings with their former classmates and swap yarns of the years gone by. The meetings of the Alumni will be 1 held on the campus, George Bell Tim- 1 merman, president of the Alumni As- ' sociation announces. The exact places j will be given later. Again returning to the gridiron, we see no obstacle that would stand in the way of having the Battle of the Caro- j linas out at the Fair Grounds. The ! two teams have had bad blood between them for years immemorial, and since both schools have teams of championship potentialities this year, especially after North Carolina's victory over the erstwhile national champions of Georgia Tech and South Carolina's steady development to one of the most feared aggregations in the Southern Conference, the game on homecoming day should be fully as colorful and almost as good a drawing card as the Clemson game. Again we say, "On to the Fair Grounds with the North Carolina game."

Hmjjh OLD GRADS TO SIT ON BENCH GUESTS OP COACH LAVAL Football Teams Of 1902 And 1908 To Cheer Gamecocks On To Victory When the gallant Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina and the Jungle Beasts of Clenison trot out on the field Thursday at high noon in one of the South's greatest annual classics, there will be more than the words of Coach Billy Laval or the mad cheering of the Carolina student body to urge the Gamecocks on to victory, because a group of middle aged men will sit on the Carolina players bench, veterans of a victorious struggle with the Clemson Tigers in 1902 and 1912 inspiring them to put everything into the game. The members of this alumni group include the regulars of the varsity teams way back in 1902 and 1912. Both of these teams waged successful campaigns against the Clemson Tigers and won their games, 2 to fi and 22 to 7, respectively. U.H.O.

The Marine Band will be on a tour of the South and its stop in Columbia will be the only one in South Carolina. It will play in the Field House for the benefit of the student loan fund of the University. There will be two concerts, one in the morning about 11, which will be primarily for the school children of Columbia and the nearby towns, and one in the evening at 8 o'clock. The band comes in the full glory of its brilliant uniforms, and it is^ now under the leadership of Captain Taylor ciiaSemidky, ^/^^^^EXCLU! s P E P / IIP P\:: tsfASTI erfiel 1C tobaccos, not only BLENDED but < PAGE FIVE ssasaaseasassasngaMBBannnent Branson, who is pre-eminent in his profession, and has had charge of the band since 1927. The history of the United States Marine Band goes back to Colonial days and to the Revolutionary War; always playing at the command of the President of the country and lending a flood of musical color to the celebrations and ceremonies of the national capitol. Since the year 1880 when Philip Sousa took charge of the band it has maintained the high standard that it readied under his leadership, and now rates as the first ?n the countrv. The coming of the Marine Hand certainly gives promise of adding a choice morsel to the already brilliant array of events that are booked for the day of homecoming and of celebration. U. It. o.
