From then until 1933, when he was exiled hy the Nazis for political reasons, Solimann was on the Deutscher Reichstag, or Parliament. IIe was also a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

"The stage was literally overflowing," said Pro fessor Christophersen, "and I was delighted with the quality as well as the quantity of the aspirants." However, the complete cast has not yet been chosen; and there is still a chance for those interested to try for parts. Mr. Christop)her sen has an office in Davis college, and will be glad to talk with any would-be Taylors or Garboes. There will be a call for "pirates", fifteen of which are included in the cast, in about two weeks. Is Melodramatic Concerning "Captain Applejack" itself: the play is an "Arabian Night's Adventure," and might be classed as melodrama. Amhroce Applejohn is a country squire who lives in a large, old country home on the coast of England. He is a thoroughly settled bachelor of forty years; but he is beginning tc realize that romance has passed him by. He longs for adventure; his dream is to rescue some princess in distress. Then suddenly his wildest dreams come true-and in his very own home. Russian dancers, Boishevik spies, and even pirates are all trans ported to the stately old manor of rural England. Adventure comes to Ambrose Applejohn in no uncertain fashion, His respectable, conservative fam ily background, including his ward, her aunt, and the ancient family butler are all forgotten in the ex citement that ensues.

Chase. dean of administration, predicts that the registration for the entire year will exceed the 2,000 mark. Classified, the totals showv that there are 1,278 men and 664 women at Carolina.

The kickoff is scheduled for 2 P. M. and the deafening cheer ing will be equally divided as the booted pigskin flies across and down the striped gridiron. But after that, according to supposedly expert prognosticators, the sound will come from the Clemson side and the fury from the Carolina vantage-be cause Jess Neely's mnighties in moleskins are the heavy favorites to make it six in a row over their traditional rivals. Here in the camp of the Garnet and Black the situation is very black as the gloomy Rex Enright finds his stellar per formers prozelyted by Old Man Injury to bench ballast, and two of his brightest stars of 1938 playing with the "Black birds", the nom de gridiron of the Carolina Legion of In eligibles. These talented lads who might have made the football fates spin another design than defeat for the Gamecocks are the spectacular Al Grygo and the elongated Alex Urban. "Next Year" Not Here When, after a too warm and too long afternoon last season, the Gamecocks walked off the gridiron carrying a 34 to 12 defeat on their shoulders, a defeat perforated by a second half offensive against the Tigers, the Carolina contingent shared the not so silent hope that 1939 would herald the arrival of "next year". It was the sensational sophomore Al Grygo who, after fum bling twice in the opening moments of the encounter to pave the pigskin path for two Cadet tallies. led the late drive against Neely's eleven. Displaying enough swivel-hipped movements to put the side show Salome's to shame, Grygo circled the Tiger flanks, escap)ed the clutches or claws of the Tigers to give the Enright Riders a numerical standing on the scoreboard and save Carolina's face in the question of statistics. Today, because he failed to remember that two and two makes four, Grygo, instead of winging down the gridliron as a member of the Carolina quartet of tally-totalers, will p)robably spend game time spotting his erstwhile teammiates for one of the radio stations. Maybe next year ? Enright Successful Last Season Last season, his first at the Palmetto school, Rex Enright more than satisfied the victory hungry alumni by turning out an impressive aggregation which defeated some of the strong est football machines in the nation, including Xavier, Duquesne, Furman, and Catholic. Tfhe graduation guillotine took thirteen veterans, and in eligibility took two more. Gone from the local scene are Larry Craig, the greatest end in Gamecock history, and Ed Clary, whose trip)le-threat p)erformances at left halfback were directly responsib)le for most of the Carolina triumphs. Just howv great Craig had been was not really known until this fall when he crashed the first string lineup of the Green Bay Packers of the National Professional football league. Competent sports scribes, close to the Carolina football situ ation, have already commented about Carolina's failure to find adequate replacements for Craig and Clary. Among the many factors which led the three defeats inflicted on the Gamecocks this season by Wake Forest, Catholic Uni versity, and Villanova p)erhaps the most outstanding has been the failure in the p)unting department. Enright To Shoot Works Well aware of the emphasis placed on the Clemson meeting at the State fair, Enright has forsaken the scoreboard this year dnd has tried to maneuver his battered forces so that they might be in the best possible shape for today's affray. The cliche coiners have p)redicted 'that Enright would "shoot the works" against the strong Cadet eleven. (CONTINUED ON PAGE tO)
