Alumtti Alumni Trail If you would have taken your eyes for a fleeting moment off the struggle that was raging between a ruffled Carolina Gamecock and a determined and powerful Clemson Tiger last Thursday and if you would have cast your eager optics over to the Carolina players' bench, more than the usual sight of anxious reserves and a silent, astute coach would have rewarded your glance. On that bench you would have seen a group of middle-aged men who were once Gamecocks themselves. This group of men clad in civilian clothes, victorious over the Clemson Tiger back in the state fair classics of 1902 and 1912, were guests of Coach Laval at the game and were given seats of honor on the players' bench. As the battle raged and as a majestic Tiger over-powered a fighting Gamecock, these old graduates were probably tearing at their very hearts to inspire the men in the flaming red jerseys to bring back a seemingly lost cause, but all in vain when in the last few minutes a final lunge by the ferocious Tiger meant a heart-breaking defeat to Carolina. Our hats are off to the Gamecocks, however. They gave their all and even more to uphold the Garnet and Black and to be worthy successors to the two teams that were watching the game from the bench, but they were fighting a team that was practically invincible and would not be beaten , and we know that those men on the bench were proud to have such a high spirited and gallant Gamecock fight in their place. On the night before the game the Clemson alumni held a pep meeting at the Richland county courthouse, i They were more than one hundred strong and made a good job of reviving some of the spirit and enthusiasm of their college days. Several men spoke at the meeting. Among them were Josh Cody, Clemson Coach, and D. W. Watkins of Clemson. The meeting was under the auspices of the Clemson Alumni Club of Columbia and it, along with the ^ rousing Clemson student body pep meeting, contributed largely to the o victory of the Tigers on the following . day. o While Clemson was doing all its ?? yelling and cheering on the night bc? fore the main event, Carolina was taking the city by shirt tail parades, burn. ing the Tiger and engaging in other ^demonstrations that showed their warcoriors the student body was with them tjto a man. ?j The spirit that Carolina worked up on this restless night was a tribute of confidence in their team and next day those Gamecocks rewarded it with hardest and most determined fight to overcome odds that has ever been seen on a Columbia gridiron. Looking over the game next Thurs- 1 day against the Citadel Bulldogs with a prayer on our lips, we come to the great battle with North Carolina on Homecoming day, November 9. North Carolina has spread its usual < ballyhoo this season that it has one i of the strongest teams in the Southern ; Conference and more, too, they've al- < most proved it. Therefore it would be quite a feather in the cap of Billy < Laval and his Lavaliers to take the < cocky Tar Heels into camp. < The alumni who are intending to J gather in Columbia for the homecoming celebration and the battle of the Carolitias would certainly be satisfied with a victory over North Carolina, . and there are numerous followers of the Garnet and Black who feel that a victory over the North Staters would ^ soothe the sore spot that was left by , the vicious Clemson Jungaleers. Let us say that we feel that the j game on homecoming day has as- , sumed the pre-gaine proportions of a t great affair, and that the suggestion ( of Barney A. Earley, secretary of the Alumni Association, to move the game i out to the fair grounds would not be t a bad idea. f V.H.O.

MARRIAGES < BARRINGTON?STEWART Friends of A. J. Stewart of Clio, *! student at the University last year, will be interested to learn of his mar- < riage to Miss Lucy Barrington of Co- ^ lumbia on Tuesday, October 21. , BOYKTN?SANDERS ? Edward Dudley Sanders, graduate of ^ the University of South Carolina in the ' class of 1925, and Miss Helen Morti- J mer Boykin were married in the Ascension Episcopal Church of Boykin, Saturday evening, October 26. It was a wedding of unusual interest throughout the state, where the bride and bridegroom arc both widely connected. The bride is a graduate of Winthrop College and for several years has taught in the public schools of the state. Mr. Sanders was a member of the Sigma Alpha fraternity while in college, and since his graduation has been connected with the branch office of the Travelers Insurance company in Charlotte, where the young couple expect to make their home. TJ.B.O. CONTACTS MADE BY RED CROSS (Continued from Page 1) college athletes, members of swimming teams, crews, etc. Women's colleges not alone have adopted the Red Cross courses in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick; and Nutrition, but many give credits for completion, including extension credits to teachers who take these courses. Summer courses in the fundamentals of Junior Red Cross administration were given the past summer at 197 state universities and normal schools. The Junior Red Cross "credit course" was given this year at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York; George Peabody Institute, Nashville, Tenn.; University of Wisconsin, and University of California. Another Red Cross summer course n the atmosphere of a center of higher learning was afforded at the University of North Carolina, where Red Cross representatives gave First Aid instruction, first to a police officer's group, which so impressed the heads of the institution as to lead them to request special lectures to a class of athletics coaches, composed of students from nine states. These university contacts of the Red Cross are fitting cap-stones to foundations laid in the primary grades, and sxtending through high school and preparatory years, modifications of :he aforementioned Red Cross courses being used, with crcdits granted by i number of schools for completion. The combination of infusion of deals of service with practical instruc:ion enabling the individual student to ender such service in a material as ivell as spiritual sense, makes the ippeal of the Red Cross. It leads, is the student matures, to a deeper nterest frequently exemplified in comnunity service in later life. Here too, he Red Cross stands ready, its local :hapters the medium for such service. Strength of Red Cross activities is neasured by general Red Cross tnem>ership, enrolled annually from Nov:mber 11 to 28. tJ.H.O.

M. C. A. at the University of South Carolina with the cooperation of the Kiwanis Club. The first talk on the subject will be tomorrow in chapel. The committee working on the plan is composed of Prof. Sumwalt and Iiall from the Kiwanis Club and R. G. Bell from the Y. According to the plan there will be a talk every Wednesday morning on the method of choosing a vocation, to be followed by talks by various men who have made a success in their particular profession. After these talks have progressed far enough to enable men to begin to have some idea of their choice, vocational analysis will be given to men who are interested by Prof. Sumwalt, Ball, and Bell. In the next issue of The Gamecock a complete list of the talks will be given, together with more complete information in regard to the analyses.
