Carolina mulst realize thalt a live wire has taken over the coaching staff, that we hlave a man here who has the interest of tihe school at heart. And why not? He has a good job in a good town at a good school. The better the school, the better his job. What could be more ridiculous than saying lie is trying to do anything that would inevitably lead to his ruin ? The Gamecock has waited a long time before say ing anything about the new coaching staff, so that no hasty and erroneous conclusions would be inmped at. McCallister has been watched closely, and he has not done one thing that was not fo the good of the University. Every move he ha made has been progressive, and lhe has moved o: ten. Given the proper backing by the alumni an student body, he will go a long way toward mal ing the University the best. school in the South. The wagging tongues of idle gossips and scar dal-mongers are his worst enemies. If these peopl spent as much time in helping him as they do trN ing to run him in the ground, they would do great deal of good.
