Altttmt Alumni Trail Two thousand alumni sullenly motored away from Melton Field last Saturday and reluctantly returned to their home towns over the State and the South to wait for better football form their Alma Mater than was displayed against the Tar Heels in their homecoming battle. Those old grads had come from far and wide to see their Gamecocks do a better job against the vaunted Chapel Hill aggregation, and it will be quite a while before the scathing 40 to 0 defeat will wear off the memories of an otherwise brilliant homecoming day. Just before the disastrous encounter on Melton Field, an enthusiastic group of alumni held a vigorous meeting at their luncheon in Steward's Hall, and it was just too bad for them to march out to their section in the grandstand and watch the Gamecocks completely subdued by an overpowering Tar Heel squad. It certainly dampened the day for them, but if that enthusiasm shown at the alumni banquet was more than a mere pep meeting, it will not be lessened by a single defeat. TIMMERMAN SPEAKS President George Bell Timmerman spoke words of wisdom when he expressed the need of a stadium at South Carolina and the need of more material with which to provide the amusement, gridironically speaking. His words were, "I am convinced that in Billy Laval we have one of the finest coaches that can be found. But, I want to say to you that there are at least two things that Billy Laval can not do. One of them is that he can not take a 170-pound lineman and turn him into a 190-lineman Another thing that he cannot do. He cannot put 19,000 spectators in a stadium that has only 6,000 seats." He was right. No team can engage a schedule that will place them somewhere if they win a game or two if that team does not possess the stadium to hold the football mad, clamoring multitudes. Big teams must have hard schedules, and hard schedules arc impossible without a large adequate stadium. Teams that South Carolina would like to have games with often shun her proposed contracts because they are wise to the limited seats at Melton Field. Naturally they would prefer games with teams that can accommodate larger crowds and split lugger gate receipts. STADIUM DRIVE Now that the alumni haye taken cognizance of the pressing need of a stadium, action may be launched in that direction very soon and South Carolina will be in line for an athletic plant that will vie with those of Duke and North Carolina in the upper Carolina. The remark of Mr. Timmerman, referring to the conversion of a 170pound linesman into a 190-pounder was well taken and the alumni can take it for what it was worth. barney earley praised The speeches at the banquet were reeking with praise of the splendid and enthusiastic work of Barney A. Earley, who has been handling the executive secretarial phase of the Alumni Association for the past few years. Since Mr. Earley has taken things in hand, great progress has been made in the interest and the potentialities of the association. With more backing from the members of the body, as was evidenced at the banquet and meeting last Saturday, Mr. Earley will be able to make even greater strides this year, and as he expressed himself, "Be able to make the work of the association clearer."

Knight, Who Scored First Touchdown Against North Carolina, Sees Tarheel Scrap The Gamecocks fought hard for a touchdown in those opening minutes of the game with the Tar Heels last Saturday; they tore and ripped through the visitors line with alarming ease during that first drive down the field, but it was only a momentary flash?the Tar Heels soon found themselves and became like a stone wall, impenetrable. In the stands, however, there was a football player of long ago, who held the distinction of having made the first touchdown against the North Carolinians. If only those struggling Gamecocks could have had that touchdown to give thern heart and encouragement in their game Saturday. This former Gamecock who once ran amuck against the Tar Heels in the early days of their rivalry was James Arthur Knight. He scored the first touchdown against North Carolina in 1910. The year that he drew blood for the Gamecocks was his Sophomore year at the University. Finishing his course and securing his A.B. in 1912, he went home to Chesterfield, only to return for an LL.B. in 1916-1917.
