Players To Give
Modern Version
Of Classic Comedy
Troupe Of Forty Will *
Open Fall Season With
Woodruff Performance
Something new, something old,
comes to the University campus
when the University Players pre
sent a strictly modernized .and
streamlined version of Shakespeare's
"Comedy of Errors," in Drayton
Hall, Monday night, October 14.
The piay was presented during
the past summer school session,
with many of the same actors who
will appear in the present produc
tion. A performance will also be
given in Woodruff, S. C., on Octo
ber 11, before the play "comes in"
to the campus. ^
Christophersen Rewrites
Professor M. C. Christophersen,
director of the Players, revised the
play for the summer presentation.
The original version is in several
acts and many scenes; the modern
ization runs these together with no
intervention, so that there are only
two scenes in all. The entire pro
duction runs approximately an hour
and a half.
The "Comedy" involves the ad
ventures of twin brothers who have
not seen each other in many years,
but who happen to arrive in the
same town at the same time. Dick
Anderson has the role of "Antipho
Ins of Syracuse," while Watson
Duncan portrays his brother, "Anti
pholus of Ephesus."
Two Pairs of Twins
There are also twin slaves in the
play, one for each of the above
mentioned twins. "Dromio of Syra
cuse" -is played by Mary Crow,
while "Dronmio of Ephesus" is
played by Edith Gunter."
Others in the cast include Mar
garet Haskeli as Adriana, the wife
of Antipholus of Syracuse; Emily
Wolfe as Luciana, beloved of Anti
pholus of Ephesus. Arthur Wilder
is the Duke, Bob Quinn plays the1

The destruction of the ven

vice of a noted historian and
author, Charles A. Beard, who
declared, "The Carolina campus
is one of the three most beauti

It.",
History and tradition were
made within the now prostrate
walls of the once beautiful old
edifice. In 1647 Daniel Webster
was entertained there by Pres.
William Preston. And Pre.
William Taft once spoke from
the front steps.

Three stalwarts of Carolina's outstanding football team last year-the bohunk squad-have graduated to
he varsity to help make our official eleven supreme on the campus, and incidentally in this section. Al
rygo, center, now mans the left halfback post, key position of the Notre Dame backfield, and is ready to
ive up to the reputation he earned as a sophomore flash in 1938. Alex (De Jeep) Urban, inset left, spent his
:erm on the bohunk eleven transforming from a center to an end. His height, speed and gluey fingers mark
uim a dangerous threat. DeWitt Arrowsmith, inset right, was slated for varsity duty last year, but a broken
oot relegated him to the hard-knocks team. He has returned this season to take up his blocking and plung
ng role in Enright's Notre Dame "T" party.

For Tomorrow
L.oright Men Seek To Break
Jini Of Homecoming Against
Butt'. Powerful Cracker Team
By Richard Frick
Tomorrow afternoon at S odock in Carolina stadium Coach
Rex Enright will untie the Garnet and Black ribbons on his
1940 University of South Carolina footbil. package when he
sends his third edition of the Notre Dame sfi'Wt against the
powerful Georgia Bulldogs. This, his opening game will be the
major event of a specially planned homecoming day progrm.
Enright in sending his third edition on the field will be meet
ing his former charges for the third time since his arrival at
the University. He fell before the Bulldogs two years ago
before another homecoming gathering 7-6, and last year, his
second year jinx year, the Birds went down 32-7.
However, having Al Grygo, Dewitt Arrowsmith and Alex
Urban back ih the coop Coach Enright hopes for at least a
closer game than last year. Two years ago in their sophomore
yenr they collaborated to emerge as coming stars only to fall
before the ax of "old man scholastics" last season. It was Ur
ban w%ho gathered in a Georgia pass during his sophomore pivot
campaign and galloped 60 yards for the only Gamecock score.
This year Urban will have another chance to grab aerials, now
from his new position, left end. Cooperating in the Bird back
field with Grygo will be Dewitt Arrowsmith, another 5-year
man, Dutch Elston, the block demon, and little Billy Lowry,
the only senior in the Bird backfield.
Georgia Boasts Strong Club
Georgia, with the sensational Frank Sinkwich, will go into
the fray as favorites. All pre-season reports on the Bulldogs
have been rather alarming to Gamecock supporters since the
lIed and White team has been named as the surprise of the
year.
Coach Wallace Butts, the Georgia mentor, is confident of a
Cracker victory and since the head coach has a talented bunch
of sophomores on hand the Gamecock feathers are due for a
rufiling.
The Alumni Association is cooperating with the student body
in making this homecoming the most successful in the school's
history. Alumni Secretary Ralph Lewis has appointed special
studlent committees to aid in all phases of entertainment.
Alumni Plans Other Entertainment
The Alumni Association has planned several events to take
the old1 grads' minds off the regular routine. These events be
gin with a drop-ini-party followed by the annual homecom
inig luncheon, a student par~ade with all the trimmings, and to
top) off the (lay a special free homecoming dance.
The drop'in-party gets things going for the day. This
p)arty is an informal affair with refreshments being served
by a co-ed committee selected by Sol Blatt, Jr., president of
the stud(ent body. This committee will act as joint hostesses
with a group made up from alumnae members.
The D)utch luncheon at the Columbia Hotel at 12 :30 will be
attendedI by faculty members who will act as the receiving
committee. The program calls for brief speeches by John
Crews, Alumni president; President J. Rion McKissick, Sol
Blatt, Jr., Jimmy Galloway and Clif Brown. This luncheon
is for the alumni and alumnae but students may attend.
Students Homecoming Parade
A fter the luncheon the social cabinet is sponsoring a student
parade that will originate at the campus and follow an ar
rangedl route over the city and out to the stadium. Forty
Carolina co-ed favorites have been chosen as sponsors for this
occasion. These were selected by Sol Blatt, Jr., and will also
sponsor at the football game.
For the first jointly sponsored Alumni-Social Cabinet dance
of the fall Henry Westbrook and his University of South
Carolina Gamecock band will furnish the music. This dance
is free to all members of the alumni, alumnae, and students of
the University. The faculty will act as chaperons.
The homecoming day crowd will be further entertained dur
ing the half of the football fracas by the Carolina band sup
ported by two new drum majorettes and a trio of drum miajots,
