Students Burn Clemson Tiger "The effigy of a large Clemson Tiger will be burned in front of the Jefferson Hotel to-night before the fair game classic Thursday." It was announced today by J. Wiley Brown, president of Kappa Sigma Kappa, honor service fraternity. Wednesday night at 7:15 the annual shirt-tail p.Trade will start from the University chapel and then take its rousing course up Main Street to the Jefferson Hotel. All members of the Student Body arc expected to participate in the parade and following a custom of years standing, fires will be kept burning all night at vantage points on the campus. tJ. B. O. Ko S. Ks. Wear Freshmen Caps A unique feature of the annual shirttail parade to be held tonight is the fact that all members of Kappa Sigma Kappa will wear rat caps. In commenting upon the purpose of this action, J. Wiley Brown, president of the fraternity said :j "We wish to exhibit to the freshman of this school the fact that no one should feel insulted when called upon to wear a rat cap. If J they do not have enough love for Carolina to wear these caps then we will set them a good example. A so-called vigilance committee might have found a different method of dealing with the matter in the good old days." I rsday Battle Royal Is Expected Capacity Crowd Of 15,000 People Expected To Pack Fair Ground Stadium Teams Evenly Matched Game Looms As Most Important And Colorful Of The Season i ?? The clcated cohorts of South Carolina's two largest schools will clash at noon Thursday in the State Fair grounds stadium as the Tigers of Clemson College battle tjie University Gamecocks in the 30th renewal of a series of engagements that dates back to 1896. Over 15,000 persons arc expected to jam the historic wooden bowl at the fair grounds to capacity as the headline athletic event of State Fair week gets underway. Traditionally the lion of South Carolina's intrastate college grid battles, the 1932 meeting of Gamecock and Tiger looms as no exception. Before the season began, "experts" were almost unanimous in voting the Gamecocks "in," but the unexpected show of strength of the Tigers against Georgia Tech and N. C. State and Wake Forest's feat in downing the Gamecocks will send the two teams into the fair classic on almost even terms. Both elevens came through last week with 19-0 wins over state opponents.
