Old Dog Ref us BeTaugl <i Alumnus Spins Yarn Giant Tackle Proves Unique Backfield Threat In Last Game Of His Career "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." The "old grad" with a wealth of solid years behind him leans back to spin his favorite football yarn. "It was way back, when power counted. Football players then were tough. You had to be strong to take it. The University that year had piled up the wins, due largely to the work of a giant tackle of the steam shovel variety. He took the mud and dirt while the fellow carrying the ball got the glory." The players of the team dccided he should be given the opportunity to make one touchdown before the season ended and so by pre-arrangement agreed to give him the ball in the next game played. The plan was to push him through by sheer force. The game arrived. The University team with characteristic violence got down to the ten-yard line. The giant tackle was brought back for the play. He went through with the velocity of a mad bull, knocking the opposition left and right. The fans went wild. And the point of the story is this: he went through allright but he forgot to carry the ball. ?U. I. o. Mercer Talks On Individualism "Creative Living for the Individual" was the subject for the talk by Prof. Charles Mercer, of the school of engineering before one of the discussion groups sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. These groups are being led by students rather than professors this year, and the 18 groups which have been 1 organized have an enrollment of over ; 200 students. Tenement 15, of DeSaussure College, led by Archie Ayers, of Calhoun Falls, led the discussion group contest. Second place went to tenement 23, led by Leon Keaton, of Graniteville, with 784 points, 60 points behind tenement 15. Third place is held by tenement 18, under the leadership of Alton Brissey, of Piedmont. ? THE R. L. BRYAN CO. ! "The House of Quality" Books, Stationery, Student Supplies 1440 Main St. Columbia, S.

Bible Course Attracts Many 131 Students Enrolled Interest Attributed To Cultured Derived. Some Sign Up At Parents Request I take Bible to be able to argue on religion more intelligently," one student said frankly. It is interesting to get an idea of the motives which attract 131 students to the Bible department of the University. A number of excellent ministers who studied Bible at the University report its helpfulness when they reached the seminaries. Many are interested because they either expect to or already teach Sunday school. To some the primary interest is the culture derived from an extended study of the Bible and the enjoyment of wonderful episodes presented in the Old Testament. Quite a few sign up because it suits their schedule or because of their parents urging, with-, a subsequent interest and genuine appreciation of the Bible. Ball Publishes Scientific Article An article entitled "The Public Utility Depreciation Muddle," has been published recently in the "Public Utilities Fortnightly" by Thomas F. Ball, professor of electrical engineering in the University. Professor Ball brings out what he believes to be the only sound and equitable way to arrive at depreciation allowances in public utility valuations. His article attempts to explain some of the fallacies of the depreciation method advocated by Prof.'Henry Earle Riggs, dean emeritus of the engineering school at the University of Michigan. u. H. o. Shawn Admits Dance Needs Feminine Grace "Grace of women is a necessary complement to masculine grace in the act of dancing," declared Ted Shawn, foremost American dancer, when interviewed after his performance in Columbia Township auditorium. "Men dancers," he admitted whimsically, "are an accfuircd taste like olives. It takes a cultivated taste to appreciate them fully." In discussing the two types of dancers, he said, "The masculine grace is that of angles and the convex line, while the feminine grace is made up of curves and the cancave lines. They arc not identified, yet they are both necessary complements to each other. Shawn and his ensemble of men dancers were enthusiastically received CLEANING CO. 1608 Barnwell 3treet J; D, WE CAN CLEAN IT" j; mecock our Agents !; This Year MANY IS 22 Issues-This Y luced To Two-Thi TO THE SI ze Your Adv< Them You Sg The Gameco hat Caroline BlnMBSBBHSHnEBniHnnMMBM Mary Lewis P: Modern Con HhV s *.? **':.* :$:* t \s "Green Stockings," a modern three act comedy, will be presented in Dray- j ton hall tonight at 8:30 by the University High Dramatic club, under the * direction of Miss Mary Lewis.

Relief Leaders Outline Plans All members of relief councils and the South Carolina Executive group of the Emergency Relief Administration of South Carolina met in Drayton hall Monday, November 20. The meeting was in charge of Malcolm Miller, head of all South Carolina relief work, and Miss Leila Johnson, who is in charge of all social case work. The meeting was called for the purpose of outlining to the workers the latest government plans in- regard to the civil works administration by which 4,000,000 men will be put to work in from one to three months if possible. This plan will mean that the case loads of the workers will be lightened so that they will be able to give more individual attention to those they are trying to assist. A series of classes will be held next week in the Education Building under the direction of Miss Johnson to teach the untrained workers the principals of social case work. U. 8. o.

Smith, professor of geology in a recent address before the LeConte jjij Scientific society. The theory ad- > vanced by Dr. Smith was that they Qf were caused by the action of solutions Df under structural control. ab These scars have the appearance of ^ more or less circular depressions and < arc particularly numerous in Horry tci county. They were first discussed in 49, 1895 by A. C. Glenn, professor of ajj geology at the University of South Carolina. Within the last year interest in them stl has been on the increase due to the discussion by recent scientific authori- tics. x > J u. m. o. Patroness Reads w Cc Original Works ?? Mrs. J. E.

He ^ asked the class to name the two books m they would take with them if marooned on an island for the rest of an their lives. E< The Bible and" Shakespeare were ve given first choice, but there were several unexpected answers. Annie ev Sue Bramlett, petite blonde, made the rather startling assertion that the P' "Green Murder Case" would be her Vl companion for the rest of a lonely life; Miriam Lander elected to while away P1 her solitary evenings with a volume of Mark Twain; Max Rubenowitch made the practical suggestion that a handi- '? craft book would be useful, if not in teresting; Floyd Rogers remembered di that no member of the fair sex was B ' to accompany him, so he took the C "Decameron" as the next best thing; H ; Catherine Taylor, being of a romantic ? type of mind, placed the Tarzan books H first. It developed during the class cc : discussion that Tarzan would certainly SJ ' get a rush from the co-eds if such an event were ever to occur, and at least one of the boys would have taken the "Private Life of Helen of Troy." 1] tj. a. o. | [ Group Gives Program ~ At Clemson College The Carolina Christian Service club gave a program at Clemson College 1 last Sunday.

Well, it was recently found that the gstaff on the Central Union Bank ilding is higher than either the eple of the First Presbyterian church the top of the flagstaff on the top the dome of the State House. The gstaff on the bank building is 550.25 :t above sea level, and 246.34 feet ove the pavement beloSv, which is e highest material point in Columt. The next highest point is the top tlie flagstaff on the top of the dome the State House being 518.29 feetove sea level and 202.14 feet above e pavement. The steeple of the First Presby"ian church is third highest, being 7.68 feet above sea level, and 173.53 ove the pavement. These measurements were made by group of junior civil engineering jdents under Prof. Robert L. Sumilt of the University. They are: C. E. Gamble, Turbeville; W. Gambrell, Bclton; J. O. Gasque, arion; R. E. Holliday, Conway; C. .Lee, Asheville, N.C.; J. E. McNair, >lumbia; J. L. Obenschain, Lexingn; and J. Weiner, Columbia.
