Fair Official
Moore Explains Reason Why
Other Students Are Admitted
Free To Grounds
"Not a penny is received by the
State fair association from the gate
receipts of the Carolina-Clemson
game," Secretary Paul V. Moore of
the association stated when approached
by a K. S. K. committee
composed of Robert H. Atkinson, J.
Wiley Brown, and W. C. Herbert.
Mr. Moore declared that the reason
Carolina students were required to pay
a small fee upon entering the (air
grounds, while Winthrop, Clemson,
and Citadel students did not, was due
to the added expense borne by
latter students in transportation^Wid

"At Dr. Foster's request, the esfc^u?

resolution reducing the entrance fee to

cents. This will prevail this year,
but it is up to the assO'?iattt>us itself tp
decide for the coming years when iiv
meets during fair week. It is provided
in our regulations that the fee be forty

that tliSs amount ,should bo 'reduced

About three weeks ago Broughton

as he was a member of the freshman

to put it on the freshman and make
him wear it.
The two met again in the Law building
Monday and became violently engaged

Stadium May
Be A Reality
According to B. A. Early, alumni .
secretary, a new stadium for the Univessity
is only a matter of time. A ,
committee has been working on the
proposition and expects to announce (
concrete plans in the near future> |
The committee composed of Edwin
G. Seibels, Columbia; A. F. McKissick,

John Roddy, Rock Hill; LeRoy Lee,
Cingstrec; J. Ross Hannahan, Charleston;
and George Bell Timmerman, 1
Batesburg, along with other in- 1
terested parties has been at work for 4
iome time. '
The agitation for a new stadium has 1
been carried on in a greater or lesser '
degree for the past several years. y
Melton Field has proved much too
small to enduce big teams to come to I
Columbia and the seating facilities at J
he fair grounds have brought forth *
nuch complaint. i
Mr. Early himself was very emphatic
as to his belief in the need for <
i new stadium and voiced the hope i
hat something will be done during \

Rhodes CWosen
Three students have been selected
to represent the University in a statewide
contest to determine South Carolina's
candidates for the Rhode Scholarships.
Applications have been submitted
by Ralph Derrick, Columbia;
Carlisle Roberts, Columbia; and William
Broughton, Sumter.
The Rhode Scholarships are offered
to American students annually, and
oiler four years af academic work in
Oxford University, England. Requirements
are that the candidate must be
a male citizen of the United States,
between the ages of 19 and 25, and
must have completed bis sophomore
year in college.
All the representatives of South
Carolina colleges will meet in Columbia,
December 5, and two men
will be selected from this group to
represent the state in Atlanta, where
candidates from six Southern states
will meet in competitive examinations.

Disapproval of the seating arrangement
at all games at the state fair
grounds stadium was registered by
prominent members of the student
lody with the exception of one. The
general belief was that action should
>e taken, but that a radical movement
tvould be unwise.
Agitation in the form of organized
protests evolved from the seats given
itudeiAs at the Carolina-Duke game
is well as the dividing of the students
nto two sections facing each other.
TROY T. STOKES, president of the
(tudent body, recommended the sendng
of a petition to the athletic advisory
board requesting a more desirable
seating scheme.

Huge Crowd
Football Fans
To See Classic
Marks 29th Encounter
i
Clemson Holds Advantage Of Past
Victories ; Laval Has
Powerful Eleven
Thousands of rabid football fans will
pour into the city today and tomorrow
to witness the annual clash between
the Gamecocks of the University of
South Carolina and the Clemson Tigers.
From upstate and down state,
and from other states, the faithful will
turn their attention upon the annual
football classic of South Carolina. An
estimated crowd of 15,000 frenzy rooters
will fill the wooden bowl at the
State fair grounds tomorrow.
The battle will mark the 29th encounter
of the two state rivals. In
the past Clemson has held the advantage
in victories, rolling up rather a
tophcavy record against that for Carolina.
The last four years have been
doubly disastrous for the Gamecocks.
It has been a period of heart-breaking
defeats for them since 1926, when they
managed to turn back the powerful
Tiger outfit.
Coach Hilly Laval will send upon
the field the most powerful eleven in
years. Composed mainly of sophomores,
with a scattering of juniors and
seniors, this team will seek to break
the jinx which has held Carolina in its
grip for five years. The Gamecocks
have been under fire already three
times this season against Duke,
Georgia Tech, and L. S. II. Their
showing in these games lead Carolina
supporters to believe that "Der Tag"
has at last arrived.
Facing this bunch, Coach Jess Neely
will send forth a team that caused
much sorrow to Tigertown by playing
to a tie with 1\ C., and lost to the
Tennessee Vols by a score of 44-0.
Hut last week, the Jungleers defeated
X. C. State by a score of G-0 and immediately
caused Clemson stock to
take a booming rise. Undoubtedly,
the Clemson boys arc determined that
"they shall not pass."
It will be Coach Necly's first attempt
in Columbia, and eyes of the
state arc fixed on what he can do with
the Gamecocks. Coach Billy Laval
will have to work against an inferiority
complex that has bothered his proteges
in every game against Clemson.
In case this jinx can be broken, Carolina
supporters believe that a bed of
roses lie ahead.
A series of huge pep meetings have
been held on the campus during the
past week. A new pep song has been
chosen, and prospects for a good
cheering section for tomorrow's game
are bright. Several new cheerleaders
have been sworn in.
The fifty-piece Carolina band, under
the direction of Professor George E.
Olsen, and the Clemson band will fur(OONTINUKI)
