Freeman Is Injured
Weakened Gamecock Team To
Meet Oitadel Saturday In
Annual Classic
Their march on the state football
championship throttled, the University of
South Carolina Gamecocks with numerous
new faces in the lineup, tapered off
today for the 27th annual renewal of
their gridiron battle with the Citadel.
Captain "Fuzz" Freeman will not be
available for duty against the Cadets,
having re-opened an old knee injury in
scrimmage early in the week, while other
varsity positions were filled with few exceptions
by reserves, following the Gamecocks'
defeat at the hands of Furman.
The probable starting lineup against
Citadel will probably consist of Mauney,
Robbins, Hamilton, and Brown in the
backficld and a line composed of Willard
and Craig, ends; Stroud and McManus,
tackles; Fortson and Morehead,
guards; and Joe Shinn, center. Such a
starting, eleven would contain six new
faces, the entire backficld and the two
tackles.
The game will start at 2:30 o'clock
on Melton Field.
Twenty-six games have been played
between the two institutions, Carolina
winning 18, Citadel five, and three ending
in ties.
It has been customory for the Carolina-Citadel
game to be played at Orangeburg,
but the University was excused
this year in order to allow it to accept
the offer of a game with Tulane. The
? game will be/played at Orangeburg nexj
year.
The Citadel game is always one 'of
the most colorful of the season. .

Text-Book De^ls With
Frame Structures ; Already
In Use In Class Room
Already tested by use in the class
room, an engineering textbook is in
process of completion by W. E. Rowe,
dean of the Engineering School at the
University, and will go to press by
June of 19:13.
This textbook deals with frame
structures, roof structures, bridgcs^ajid
trestles. "Graphic Statics" as the
book is named is used in the two
semesters of the junior year in the
engineering school. The book has
been tested by practical use in the
class room for the past several
months.
The book, when completed, will include
numerical problems that arc relative
to the various structures. Dr.
Rowe is planning to finish the book
during the remainder of the year so
that it will be ready for the press by
June.

Dr. Smith Finds
Strange Sponge
Dr. L. Iy. Smith, of the Geology department,
has identified in South Carolina
a species of sponge hitherto entirely
unknown to biologists.
In his study of cell behavior and
regeneration, Professor Smith has
wade an exhaustive study of South
Carolina sponges. He will have an
article appearing next July in the
precedings of the United States National
Museum on South Carolina
sponges.
It has been noted by Dr. Smith
that plowmen working in certain depressions
in South Carolina arc bothered
with a sort of itch about the
ankles, feet, and calves. This discomfort,
it has been shown, is caused
by the presence of-these sponge formations
in the soil.
Dr. Smith ha9 been assisted in this
work by two of his graduate students,
Miss Mary Gayluden, of the University
of South Carolina, and M iss Polia-1
* koff, a graduate of Johns Hopkins
University.

Absences
Dave Mccrs, star Carolina tacklc
who made All-State last year as a
sophomore, will not be available to
the team in its three remaining games
of the season with Citadel, N. C. State,
and Auburn, due to scholastic difficulties,
according to an announcement
from the office of John A. Chase, Jr.,
registrar.
Loss of Mecrs will send the Gamecocks
against the Citadel to-morrow
I without the service of two veteran
linemen, Captain Harry (Fuzz) Freeman,
having received a knee injury in
scrimmage Wednesday that will probably
keep him on the bench for at
least two of the three remaining
games. He may be in shape for the
Auburn game on December 3 it was
learned today. .
Meers, a junior in the school of
commerce, was Thursday dropped
rom the rolls of the University for
the remainder of the current semester,
because of unexcused absences. ' ,

While it suffers by comparison with

the University of South Carolina compares

In his report, Dr. Baker said:
"The ranking professors are all men

ence, and sound preparation for teaching
the courses of study under their
charge. 1 he broad and liberal train- I
ing and cosmopolitanism of the staff

Green Writes
New History
Of County
Dr. Edwin L. Green, head of the
University department of Ancient
Languages, has recently completed
the first volume of a two volume history
of Richland county, that promises
to be one of the most complete
county histories that has yet been
produced. The first volume begins
the story in 1740 with the settlement
nt Railford's (now Mill) creek and
goes through 1805. The second volume
will cover the period from 1805
to the present.
The work makes a complete survey
of the political, social, economic, and
literary history of the county, and is
[? veritable mine of information for
geneologists. Much geneological information
for the work has been obtained
from records of the county
probate judge, which were saved during
Sherman's march by hiding them
in the swamp between Columbia and
Camden.
"None Better"
Says Barber
"Among the score or more of young
men who have practiced law from my
office I have never found any better
than those who came from the Law
School at the University of South
Carolina," William A. Barber, '98,
licad of Barber, Kacenthal, and Gedlings,
prominent New York law firm,
ind chairman of the hoard of Child's
Restaurant corporation, said in an interview
here yesterday.
Mr. Barber, who at the age of 20
was admitted to practice law in South
Carolina by a special act of the legislature,
is former attorney general of
the State.
Conditions are not nearly as bad
here as in the North, Mr. Barber
says. "Here at least the people, or
nearly all of them, have something to
cat," he said.

Gamecock Forward Wall
Weakened By Loss Of
Giant Tackle
eligible for the grid season.
Mcers, who tips the scales at 220
pounds, came to the University in 1930
from Waco, Texas, and performed
brilliantly on the Biddic team, which
recorded an excellent record, being
held to a tie by Furman in the only
contest it failed to win. This game
was played on a wet field in Greenville.
He teamed up with Bryan "Shipper"
Adair last season to provide the
Gamecock forward wall with a pair
of substantial and hard-charging
tackles. Both were impregnable on
defense aggressive on offense.
At the end of the 1931 season, Meers
was an easy choice for All-State, being
nominated for the mythical eleven by
the Associated Press and various
sports writers.
He rose to his greatest heights this
season in the Villanova and Tulane
games, although he played consistently
against Clemson, Louisiana State and
other Gamecock foes.

Colors Origin
Is Described
"The Garnet and Black, colors of the
University, originated with the tennis
team of 1894; and more particularly
with a blazer owned by the late Robert
Alliston '94," Judge W. C. Cothran '94,
acting associate justice of the Supreme
Court, told members of the alumni association
at a luncheon at the Hotel Poinsett
in Greenville, Saturday.
In their efforts to select colors for
Carolina, a group of students representing
the tennis team of the University,
finally decided to get blazers for each
member of the team and to have the blazers
in Garnet and Black colors. However,
when the purchases were about
to be made, it was found that only one
of them had enough money to buy one.
He was Robert Alliston, one of the
star players, and it was from this team,
and as Judge Cothran says, more particularly
from this one blazer that the
colors now so proudly possessed by the
University originated.

Action On Some Branches Delayed
Until Re-Organisation Is
Effected
Recognition of most of the departments
of the University of South Carolina
was the honor bestowed upon this
institution by the University of the State
of New York, which is the state educational
department supervising all universities
in the state of New York. The
requirements for this department, which
has its headquarters in Albany, are very
strict and it is a distinct honor that the
Carolina departments have been registered
with them.
November 11 the University received
a communication from the University of
the State of New York advising that
the state education department had registered
the courses of study leading to
the A. B. and B. S. degrees in the College
of Arts and Sciences, the A. B. in
journalism and the B. S. in commerce
of the University of South Carolina.
The tangible result of this action will
be, that work taken at Carolina or degrees
obtained from this institution will
be recognized by all universities in the
state of New York, by students from
Carolina doing additional work there.
The New York department sent an invitation
to the University of South Carolina
to make application with them, and
this step was immediately taken. This
recognition by that department which
is influenced only by the character of
the work done is a distinct honor of
which the administrative officers of the
University are proud.

has been registered with the University
