He will receive the trophy at a banquet of the Clinton Rotary club on Thursday night, December 18.

The game between^the Southern boys, who have never played soccer, and the Yankee boys, who have played before, will be played Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Melton field. It is hoped that there will be many spectators to show their interest in the game and to render their support to this new sport. This game is entirely in the nature of an exhibition contest, and there will be no admission charged. ~ The Yankee team will have as its \ ' ''. \ '^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ROLLINS s fori :obs Tropt ioSH TO HAYEl STRONG QUINT UOOD MATERIAL OUT "raig, Hart, Raby, Shinn, With Others Expected to Form Formidable Freshman Five The freshman basketball squad is competing its second week of practice with he propsects bright for a good team.

A few more football men are expected 11 to report within the next week. \ Ii Practice has now been going on for I' over two months, although heavy work 1 has been held up due to the fact that 11 many of the outstanding candidates were I: delayed in coming out because of Caro- ' lina's long football schedule.

This was an erroneous statement and we hereby take this opportunity to correct it. ^ Leardo won his letter in football in 1929 jnd still has another year to play for the Gamecocks. ^ u. ?. c UNKNOWN PERSON [ ,GETS GOLF TROPHY P j< New Cup Has Been Purchased, d And Tournament Will Soon h Be Resumed ii n There is evidently some individual a whose ambition it is to rival Bobby Jones s< and who has set out to get as many cups s< *s his rival. This new amateur has hit upon a-better way of getting his desired v prizes. The unknown champion decided j just to take his much-sought-for trophy v instead of bothering with all the unnec- r essary elimination contests. On account af this decision the miniature golf tour- ^ nament which started several weeks ago on the Flinn Hall golf course had to be ^ temporarily postponed.
