Carolina Meterial Reported Good Championship Expected Loss Of Joe Cardwell Only Draw back To This Year's Prospects ] A general belief that Carolina has state championship material this year resulted from a discussion held at a meeting of the Varsity track squad in the Chapel Tues day night. Coach Frank Pauly is anxious that more men come out for track this year. He expressed his belief that there are many now attending the University that have real track ability and with a little encouragement would enjoy success in this sport. le also said that many would prolit by the experience and develop physically, even though they could not be champions in their field. Last year's Freshman squad was one of the strongest Carolina has had for the last several years, principally in the weights and field events. The loss of Captain Joe Cardwell will be the only drawback to this year's pros pects. Those remaining from last year's squad and forming the backbone of this year's team are: Captain Curry Farnham, pole vault and (lashes ;George Epps, dashes, broad jump and pole vault ; Robert Earle Penland, mile run ; Reddy Mitchell, quar ter mile ; Ralph Turner, quarter mile; Basil Pettit, hurdles ; Goo~dy Taylor, hur diets; Arthur Robertson, broadl jump and high jump ; and Fritz Turner, javelin throw and weights; 'William Wolfe, twvo mile run. TIhose of last year's Freshman squad who are expectedl to report are: Jack I I-yons and Warren Owen, dashes ; Wil liam Royster, high jump; Guy Lipscomb, high jump, broad jump and wveights; l'letcher Spigner, weights : Rufus Mor gan, mile run ; and Larry Craig, wveights.I Many Students Attend Methodist Conference R.

College Was Destroyed Several gray-clad horsemen in front of f the chapel of the South Carolina College mounted their waiting steeds and rode off toward the east. A number of shots was heard in the direction of the Congaree. For a brief moment silence prevailed, then an echo of shouts and jeers indicated that t the Union army was rapidly approaching I Columbia. A few hours later a thick cloud of black smoke was rising high in the air and hanging like a pall over the ruined city. Within the realm of destruction was the simmering remains of the a Woman's Ursuline Convent, but not a building of the South Carolina College was touched. The entire college at that c time was being used as a hospital. It seems that an influential and diplomatic member of the Confederate staff had re quested that the college library be spared, which the Union general complied with. These events occurred on the night of Feb. 17, 1865. Four years previously the first meeting of secession was held in the First Baptist Church on Hampton Street, but due to an epidemic of small pox the meeting was forced to move to Charles ton. During the occupation of Columbia by the federal troops, orders were given to destroy this building. A band of troops marched down Hampton Street and halted in front of the church. An officer in quired of Douglas Clara, the sexton, who y was sitting on the front steps, if this was the building in which the meeting of secession had been held. Falling into deep meditation, the old e negro scratched his head and replied in s the negative, directing the officer to a i church one block farther. Washington I Street Methodist Church was burned to the ground, but the historic First Baptist stands to this day. -U. s. c.- < Handsome Haunt: Hipped On Home Of Sorority Girls Pleasant Ghost Has Been A Tenant For Years Are you an adlventurer, a romanitcist, a dlelver into the great unknowvn? Do you love the supernatural ? In short, do you believe in haunts (pronounced hants, as in pants) ? Then Carolina furnishes plenty of weirdness in your owvn back yard. Take the case of a certain sorority~ house. The great mysteries of that house, contrary to popular belief are not when (10 co-edls study or what do0 said females say about their friend boys in private. These are mere trivialities compared to Mr. X. Mr. X is the haunter and has been a regular tenant for some years. (Naturally, Mr. X isn't the gentleman . ghost's real name, but we'll call in that . to get in every possible element of the unknown.) This Mr. X is a very nice haunt as haunts go. lie lives quietly except when only a few people are in the house at wvhich times his sense of humor gets the best of him and he furnishes no end of goodl authentic ghost noises. He plays the violin, too, on cold winter nights when all are abedl. Wierdl strains of melan choly music floats around making sleeping co-edls snugle dlown lower under the cov ers. .Look aroundl. Perhaps you too have a little ghost in your tenemant or boarding house. Dig into the mysteries of the uin knowvn wvorld. You've no idlea wvhat a comfort a considerate ghost can be. -7. 5. (. Professoi' Refuses To Give Up Red Tie. A professor in a Western university I has refused all entreaties to make' him I stop wearing a redl tie. Some of the students believe that the prof wears the tie as a tribute to the memory of a certain girl he met in his youth, who was wearing a red dIress on the occasion. The august faculty member, however, insists that he wears the tie simply he cause he likes red ties. Hie has always insisted men have the right to wear what I appeals to them, and should not be op- g pressed by the Mit.at of. faho. Will Start :ice In March rry Outs Open To All kwarding Of Varsity Letters Creates New Interest In Game Carolina's defending state champion hip tennis team will practice in March ind begin their schedule on April 1 un ler the coaching of "Dutch" Wagner, iead tennis coach. The team will play for their relative ositions in the month of March, during vhich time each man will play the one bove him until he is defeated. Any up er-classman at Carolina will be eligible try then. lie will. be seeded on the ist and allowed to challenge the man bove him. The incentive offered by the awarding >f varsity letters to the members of the eam at the close of the season has caused renewal of interest in this ancient sport nd many more aspirants for the team .re expected out in the next few weeks. No work has been done on the local ourts as yet but the officials say that the vork will soon be begun. The schedule this year will include a rip to Wofford and P. C. one week-end, trip to Charleston where the Citadel nd possibly the College of Charleston vill be met and then later to Furman and lemson. A trip will also be taken to Jorth Carolina where Duke, Davidson, 4. C. State and Univ. of N. C. will be net. The South Carolina State Tennis tour icy will also be held in Columbia this ear and will bring to the University the ream of the netters from every school n the State. This is the third annual neet, the other previous ones being held t Furman and Clemson. Carolina did ot enter this tourney last year because f the interference of the Southern Con crence tourney which they entered. This ,ear it is thought possible that the team will enter both these meets. The schedule has not been completed as et but will be released in the near future. Carolina has long been noted for its xcellent net teams which have won the tate championship with regularity and ave developed such brilliant stars as lobbie Killingsworth, Elliott Crum and ommy Collins. --u.
