CM THE GAB Homecoming] By Univ Up to 1927, the University of South 1 , Carolina alumni had always considered I their June meeting as being "Home ; Coming Day." In 1927, it was dc- s tided by the members of the Alumni < Council to set aside the day of some i important football game as being the I real "Home Coining Day" for Uni- 1 versity alumni. The first of these < home coming days was designated in : the fall of 1927. The date was No- i vember 7, and the opponent was the 1 University of North Carolina. One 1 of the largest crowds, who ever attended a football game at Melton : Field, was present on this day. I It has been the custom on these 1 home coming days to have a "get- 1 together" luncheon at one of the hotels 1 or tea rooms about two hours before the game is played. At this luncheon, ' prominent alumni make short talks and after a general get-together pro- ' ceed to the football game and sit to- < getlier in the sections reserved for them. ' ! None of the general business of the alumni association is discussed at these ! meetings, nor are finances discussed. I he purpose of these meetings is to bring the alumni together in a purely ' social way. The seating of the alumni in special sections has added to this event a great deal by enabling them I to form a special cheering section at the game. All, who have attended these home coming days, have enjoyed ' the contact with other alumni and the ' privilege of sitting together while the < game is being played. < This year, November IS has been ' designated as "Home Coming Day." ! On that date, the Gamecocks will play the Purple Hurricanes, from Furman University, in a game that bids fair 1 to decide the state championship. It ' will decide the state championship in- ' sofar as the Gamecocks are concerned.

The fact :hat this is such an important game J ind will have such a bearing on the state championship has caused the Carolina alumni to become intensely nterested so it is only natural to look forward to the largest attendance of 1 Carolina alumni that we have ever had 11 >n a home coming day.

In your interest in Home Coming Day, do not overlook the very important game, which will be played on Melton Field November 11, Armistice Day, the opponents being North Carolina State. This game has a distinct bearing on whether or not the Gamecocks will he in a, tie or at the head of the Southern Conference. If they win this game, it concludes their schedule in the Southern Conference with three wins and no losses. Duke University is the only one that could then time the Gamecocks for lead of the Conference. Duke has three more Conference members to meet, but, if the Gamecocks win from North Caroina State, they will have a clean record in the Southern Conference. )RUGC0. ?apleln i Street NIGHT L STORE" ^icTIlCiX.
