Tri Deltas Seek First Win Tonight In fourth Game A unique football game will be played on Melton Field tonight for the benefit of the Carolina orphan age. Members of Delta Delta Delta sorority will try to break the win ning streak of Pi Beta Phi so rority, the victor in the three pre vious Powder Bowl games. University co-eds made history in 1940, when. on November 9, the sorority teams displayed gridiron glamor, playing for the benefit of Alpha Kappa Gamma's scholarship fund. Deward Brittain, a Tri Delt coach, originated the idea. With three coaches each, the teams were kept on a training schedule that included special diets and a detailed study of techniques to be used with the pigskin. d The night of that first game found cheering faculty members and delicate male sponsors, as well as representatives from every large news organization in the country. A photographer from Paramount News took action shots for the newsreels, and the stars of the games found their pictures in all the eastern newspapers. The game was a victory for the Pi Phis when Doris Nash scored the only touchdown. In spite of the nation-wide popularity which the Powder Bowl brought, it was not played again until 1945. This time it was for the benefit of the McKissick scholarship fund. Dale Hood scored, and the Pi Phis were again the winners. Kappa Delta sorority joined the show, and a drill platoon called the KD Corsettes performed between the halves of the game. The third game was played in 1946 on the night before the Carolina-Clemson game. Pi Phis won this time with a score of 20-0. Tonight the fourth game of this professional series will be played. The three sororities have been practicing since Thanksgiving, tak ing turns on Gibbes Green and Melton Field, and obeying the or ders of watchful coaches. Other features will include flip cutting professors as cheerleaders, the crowning of the Powder Bowl King by Mrs. Arney Childs, and the playing of the University and Fort Jackson bands. After the game is ended, the Chi Omega sorority will sponsor a drop-in in the lobby of Sims dor mitory until 10:30 p. m. Music will be furnished by Toni Thornley and the Gamecock orchestra.

History Department Shows Old Foreign Movies In Chdpel French and German movies were shown by the history department Feb. 14 at the chapel. Some of the pictures shown dated back to 1898 and others covered periods in the 1920's. The pictures were designed to show a definite development in fashions and life in general. They include incidents that our mothers and fathers might find amusing. The acting style, for instance, has changed. The German pictures specialize in crime pictures from a very early date and also the super-natural. For example, a picture that was made in 1919 called "Dr. Galicari," is a story seen through the mind of a lunatic. The settings in the pic ture are distorted and are carried out in surrealistic fashion to show the mind of the lunatic conceiving ideas. It anticipates the best work of the "Snake Pit." In both of these it shows the effects of the lunatic on the course of the story. The French pictures are expon ents of comical possibility, showing examples of French comedy. meeting that if every fraternity man would contribute only one (101 lar each semester, an exchange student would be enabled to at tend the university. mates for you and separate a SPORTSWEAR BELJK'S SECOND FLOOR int Night WSSF 8 And 10 vill be presented by sororities ght has been announced by e World Student Service Fund by the activities committee of to the WSSF drive.
