LOCAL ARCHERS ATTRACT NOTICE .1 Archery, which has recently been made a minor sport at the University, is one , of the oldest sports practiced in this | country. The local team is attracting . many followers of .the sport, and is expected to grow increasingly popular. Archers find sport with the bow and arrow in many and various ways. Some of them are listed below. < Rovers?In times gone by, when man j depended on the bow in time of peace for f food, and for protection in war, he needed to know how to shoot accurately at different objects at different distances. ' This necessitated practice at hitting any ; target within bowshot. The game of i Rovers evolved in this way. It is played ' today with different size targets-scattered < over the ground at irregular distances. < Archery Golf?Golf itself is probably 1 the offshoot of the ancient archery game ' of Roving, and now Archery Golf has 1 come as an offshoot of regular golf. It is played in the same manner as golf except that a bow and arrows are used in I place of the golf club and balls. The ob- I ject of this game is to take the fewest ! shots possible in putting an arrow through i a wire circle the size of a golf cup. Clout Shooting?This form of shooting is greatly in vogue in Scotland and I England. The target is 48 feet in di- < ameter and is laid off on the ground. Men i shoot at it from a distance of 180 yards i and ladies at 120 yards. This is the most I graceful of all archery games to watch because of the exceedingly high flight of the arrows. I Flight Shooting?This is shooting for i distance alone. Very light arrows are i used with very low feathers and tiny > points. The best shot to date is 422 yards, 2 feet, 2 inches. IVand Shooting?Wand shooting h done at 100 yards for men and 60 yards for women. The wand is a 6 foot strip of ! pine, 2 inches wide and one-half inch thick. The best record to date is two hits out of six arrows at 100 yards. Hunting?Here is real sport. The extreme fascination of archery has caused men to loose shafts at lions, and to seek the most dangerous of animals on the American continent. The archer hunter does not worry about the strength of his bow, but uses one he can command at case at all times. Even a boy's bow can drive a broad head shaft completely through a deer. lushing?The bow and arrow is proven a versatile weapon. Along with the thousands of archers who hunt with the bow and arrow we find those who also fish with the bow and specially made arrows. H. Hill, an archer-angler, in one afternoon "caught" 196 bass, bream, and alligator gar fish ranging from one to ten pounds in weight.

Unless some of the football players report at an early date for the heavyweight t class, Coach Alliston will have to use ; some of his light-heavies in this division, i DoVanghn fought a good deal in this i class for the Gamecocks last year, but, < as he is out for basketball, it is doubtful as to whether he will turn out for the I boxing team. I P. C. is expected to bring a veteran team to Columbia on the tenth and the opening date of the year for boxing in Columbia should prove a most entertain- I ing evening. i U. S.

There is no real reason why ' students should be penalized for 1 rutting classes if they arc capable of ^ naintaining their scholastic standing. Besides benefitting the students, 1 >ays the editor of the Boston University News, this no-cut ruling kvould prove an acid test for certain io-callcd crip courses. Empty seats in i classroom are incontrovertible evilence that overhauling is in order. By allowing only students of high scholastic rating to enjoy this priviegc, non-abuse would be assured. A fair columnist in the Converse Parley V oo announces to the world it large that she feels she has the right to adopt O. O.

Someone's trying to get in the window !" This feminine ejaculation was immediately followed by a wild dash for the liall in one of the University annexes, and hysterical giggling and squealing, after the manner of women. Co-eds, hearing the noise, burst from their rooms in various stages of dress and undress, and cowed together, shivering with fear. From the downstairs rooms more co-eds came, clinging together and looking fearfully about them. Several of the more venturesome went to the window in question and listened intently for a repetition of the noise. Yes! A grating, sliding sound could be heard distinctly. "Perhaps it's the blinds," someone suggested. After investigation it was found that there were no blinds; in fact, there was nothing which could produce such a noise. Downstairs the crowd trooped and to the front door just in time to sec two shadowy forms leaving the front yard. The mystery was further heightened by the discovery of a piece of rope on the porch. "Came dawn," and with it enlightenment. Two practical jokers from a nearby fraternity house had dampened a piece of rope and rubbed it back and forth across the corner of the house. And now the girls say that they weren't frightened in the least. i , 'in Vm* *ifiiftti*'iiVilTT i' Greatly Oppres Are Givei It is rather unusual when an ex Itcd and prominent upperclassman reaks the monotony of a "rat" mcetlg by handing the thoroughly frightned freshmen a lot of good sound adice. But, believe it or not, this very | ling took place in a certain dormi- < >ry on the campus less than a week < S?oAs the session progressed and the rst-year men writhed under the hand , f the oppressor, the outlook was in- ^ ced gloomy. Suddenly and without ( arning all firing ceased and a dread- | il silence fell on the assembled irong. Then the upperclassman pened up. He declared that, conary to what the freshmen thought, ^ le first year in college was un- } oubtedly the best. He advised the * oor rats to study constantly and ^ Jake their home folks proud of them, le warned against spending one's loncy in riotous living and advised ic freshmen to walk in the straight nd narrow path that leadeth to a iploma. ' i Silence reigned in the room. Then, | ceking to conceal in vain their trem- , ling knees, the new boys went to the ? laughter, but the solemn advice of ic great man still rings in their ears, < ;0-ED WINS PRIZE IN STATE CONTEST ; 'oster by Dorothy Waring to be ' Entered in National Meet ' A poster prepared by Miss Dorothy 1 faring, University co-ed, won first prize 1 f ten dollars given by the Federation of usincss and Professional Women's clubs. 1 [er poster will be sent to New York ^ > be entered in the national contest.

One part of the collection consists of likenesses of the following former presidents of the South Carolina Press Association : Col. James A. Hoyt, Capt. F. W. Dawson, August Kohn, Ed. H. DeCamp, W.

Dr. William Watts Ball, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, began the collection while he was dean of the school. It is being carried on by his successor, J. Rion McKissick. OLD ELLA NO^ LONGER IN DAVIS A familiar black face has disappeared , from Davis College. Old Ella, mammoth in her proportions, has given way to a little old man. Ella kept the halls and classrooms of Davis in a state of cleanliness for eight years, but the powers that be decided that a man was needed to do the heavy work. Ella, says Roxana, caretaker of the girls' part of the gymnasium, and herself a veteran of eleven years' service at the University, is "the man and oonian to her house." Her husband is "cripple'" and can't get about. Since Ella was dismissed from Carolina, she has had a hard time, being able to get jobs by the day only. The old negro men who have devoted a considerable part of their lives to service on the campus, are rarely ever left to sljift for themselves when the time of their greatest usefulness has passed. Ella's successor is no young buckaroo himself. Perhaps the work is too much for one old woman; but Ella has a certain definite place in the practical housekeeping of the school. She tried to do her best, and sometimes felt it necessary to ask for additional help. And this extra aid seems to be the main drawback against Ella.
