WILSON TURNS PROFESSIONAL "Hoss" Wilson, former co-captain of the boxing team, has turned professional. He met his first professional opponent in Anderson last Friday and lost a ten round bout on a decision. Witson won the first four rounds, but his more experienced opponent staged a comeback in the late rounds to win the fight. Wilson automatically surrendered his amateur status as soon as he entered the professional ring. It is understood that' he fought in spite of the injury to his arm, which threw him off the University boxing team.

People who have been bitten by the historical bug are sometimes led into strange paths, as is shown by the experience of Bannie h. Stewart, a senior at the University, who contributed the above report, among others, to the history department's collection of old South Carolina papers. Hot on the trail of early United States stamps, he discovered a batch of rainsoaked and mildewed letters which had been thrown out of Flinn ' Hall. He selected a few, and after a brief inspection put them aside. JESSAMINE CLOTHES $22.50 Suit $6.00 Extra Pantt Kuppenhelmer Suits $40 to $65 COPELAND CO. 1535 MAIN ST. J JEFFERS( R. T.

They were served a delightful supper upon their arrival. The performance was well received and Maurice Matteson, director of the group, expressed himself is pleased with the work of the club. Several of the records made by the club while in Chicago are still available and may be obtained from the director at his office in Flynn Hall. Friday evening the club will appear at Columbia College at the meeting of the State Music Teachers Association. Musical organizations from all over the State will appear as features of this program. u. s. c. George McCutchen Appointed Interne George McCutchen, who finished his pre-med course at Carolina a few years ago and has since been attending the Medical College of Charleston, was recently appointed interne at the St. Francis Hospital in Charleston. This position is one which is coveted by medical students, as the experience gained thereby is valuable in later practice of the profession. George succeeded in obtaining this place over the heads of fourteen other competitors. Letters iry Department Enter The Gamecock, a year or so later, with a story of John Bolt Culbertson s historical raids in the up-country. In a little room in Pinckney College, an idea occurred to Bannie Stewart. He dug up the letters he had found a year ago, removed the envelopes, and presented the rest to Doctor Douglas, for better or worse. Doctor Douglas turned the material over to Prof. R. L. Meriwether, head of the history department, who found them to be letters written by members of the first faculty of the University. There are ten letters in all, five of them being reports to the Board of Trustees by the president and faculty members. The faculty consisted of only six men at this time. The report printed above is typical. There is a similar report by Dr. Jonathan Maxcy, the first president of the University, and a letter written in a beautiful steel engraving hand by Dr. William Jamos Rivers, professor of Greek at the University, and characterized by Doctor Snowden as South Carolina's most scholarly historian. The history department is interested in preserving old South Carolina letters, documents, and newspapers, and will welcome all contributions.

Bird Quint L To Davids Gamecocks' Two-Point Lead at Half Overcome by Felines in Bitterly Fought Clash The Carolina Quintet continued its losing ways by dropping a hard-fought game to the Davidson Wildcats Thursday night. Opening up with a bang the Gamecocks looped in three goals before the Cats placed a marker, but after that the Davidson team, playing a driving consistent game, gradually crept up on the Birds. The score at the half stood 14-12 in favor of the Carolina men. In the latter half, Coach Norman sent in a complete new team which placed four points in the few minutes it was in. The original team soon was replaced, but a string of five goals by Rusk, Davidson forward, kept the Felines in the front after they had pushed through a goal and a foul to lead 17-16. The Birds never regained the lead thus lost. Both teams played a well-balanced game, but Bedenbaugh was high scorer for Carolina with 10 points, mostly long side-line shots, while Martin topped the Davidson men with 12 marks and Rusk, placed 11 points on the Davidson chart. The final score was 35-26.

Red hearts were strown about, making a gay setting for the dancers. The Columbia Record said, "The biggest heart in Columbia, strangely enough, is not possessed by one of the civic philanthropists, but by a house. "The Rembert House boasts a red heart nearly three feet in diameter on its front door, A crimson arrow passes jauntily through it. It's a decorative hang-over from a Valentine party." Approximately fifty guests were present. Mrs. Marion and Mr. and Mrs. Newton acted as chapersons. 'J u. s. c.
