MERGER JOINS OAPONE
"Squint-eye Chuck" Mercer, famous
gangster of Columbia, and a pal of
"Scareface Al" Capone, Chicago gangster
and racketeer, was reported to
have left Columbia this morning for
Chicago to join his friend Capone.
"Scareface Al" was released a few
days ago from the Philadelphia penitentiary
and has sent a c?*ll from the
Windy City to his gunman pal to
come and join him. The above news
was given a Gamecock reporter this
morning by Chief Swearingcn of the
Columbia police force.
"Squint-eye Chuck" is well known in
this vicinity for his deeds of violence
and bloodshed. Formerly employed
as a professor at the University in the
department, he resigned this position
some time ago when a student in one
i of his physic classes died from heartfailure
wljen "Squint-eye Chuck" told
a new joke. The sudden change from
old and obscene jokes was too sudden
for the student and the shock unfortunately
killed the young man.
Everyone remembers the trial which
followed when the gangster was arrested
and tried for murder. The case
was quashed when the attorney for
the defense made the statement that
Mercer was a "wit" and the solicitor
rose and admitted that the defense was
half right. The defendant was then
thrown out of court.
It is to be hoped that the gangster
arrives in Chicago fine and has one
swell time before he is taken for a
ride by some of the other toughs up
there.

Hughie held his first workout with
the team yesterdav and reported that
everything went fine with the exception
of one candidate who could not
stand the dizzy neck holds of the
others.
This was due to the lack of preseason
training," said Coach Murchi?on?
"those girls must get in more
f,v? dates and th?y keep it up we
will have the most wonderful necking
team in this neck of the woods."

It has been announced that the Grill
Club of the University is negotiating
an alliancc with the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
Leaders in this movement to put
the Grill Club in the field of honorable
service to doomed mankind are
E. K. Pritchard, Buster Mathews, and
Hu^h Wilcox.
These three gentlemen, when interviewed
became very eloquent in stating
their stand in favor of the 18th
amendment.
"We mean to rid the world of every
drop of the damnable stuff," stated
Mr. Mathews with much feeling. "It
shall never be said that the dear old
Grill Club did not do its bit for our
beloved Carolina."
"And do you know," gasped little
Eddie Prichard, "They tell me that
the vanilla extract used over at the
Mess Hall contains 2 per cent alcohol.
It s the wanton deeds such as this
that we plan to put a stop to."
"And," put in Mr. Wilcox firmly, "I
am going to see Dr. Foster right this
minute and demand that the athletes
of this University stop using alcohol
to rub down with. Why, let the big
brutes use witch hazel." Grier and

Carolina who are glad to see him
achieve success in the marble game
and are happy to know that he will
leave the University and devote his
whole time to marbles.
"I owe my success in shooting marbles
to long hours of practice in shooting
bull while in college," declared the
new champion.
"Important essentials for success in
the marble game is tor the participant
to discard his suspenders, garters,
derby, and tight pants just before each
meet," advised Pat.
