ERSKINE HAS BIG ! LE OPINION OF TEAM Out For Blood of Tech Freshmen.?. Th Guarantee Action,When They 1 Meet Tech at Anderson To/ day. I jSn Some folks may believe that the de Tech Freshmen, said to be an awfully . leg strong and aggressive team, is going' ar< to have easy sailing when they hit we the Erskine Seceders on Friday at; no Andersen, but no one in Due Westjwi believes the tale. ! rc-i Communication was established ev this morning between the Daily Mail, ind Holy City and the dope from Ers- j kine is quite to the contrary. Hei*e | a? is what Erskine folks think of their j tei chances, so Andersonians can judge no for themselves: aS During the last two weeks Erskine sw has injected into her blood the old j sc* Seceder fighting spirit. She has tast- j ^e' ed her first college victory of the wa season by defeating Newberry 24 to 0, and it tasted swedt. The Newberry C01 coach is the authority for the state- j an ment that his best men were in their j regular positions at the' beginning of j fr( ' the game. In this game the Erskine J no eleven showed just what it had, and j ex it will continue to demonstrate this i un same thing the remafnder of the sea- j of son. For Erskine has a strong team j of as the following facts will show: j lar v Phillips is playing full-back. He *~li> is perhaps the best- known player in South Carolina, and well-known prac- sta tically everywhere. His playing is so tw fax above the average that he eclipses sig the rest of the eleven, but he, would pa do that in any college. It is a jvell- bu known fact that the stars cannot be vie seen when the sun is shining, so it inf must be remembered that Erskine has ten players on her team besides PrilHps. He certainly is the outstanding star, but the rest are there. His offensive playing is invincible, and his defensive is impregnable, but he _ has the cooperation of ten other strong men. For instance, there is m, "Rube" Agnew. For three years he to has played varsity ball at center. But en account of his superior tackling ability he has been shifted to tackle. er. With his long, rang^ build and his driving power he constitutes an im- an portant hole for Phillips to drive thru j* . On the other tackle is*Blakely. This ic anot.hpr welUtravelled hip"hwav for 0 5C Erskines backfield. They never fail to gain when going by the Blakely route. On the other h'and he puts gj op the "Road Closed' sign when on gx the defensive. Of the ends, Thompson and Brice, only one significant fact may be mentioned. Newberry Ifoi failed to make a single appreciable Q^ -gain on end runs. This speaks for it- ^ *elf we may pass on. The Hood triumpharte constitutes the guards. "Si" "Seepy" and "Erk,' alternate in pla$ring these positions. These husky "Tar-Heel" lads have the true fight- ? pe< ing spirit, and their opponents come ut of the contest sadder but wiser in thinking Erskine has no line. Scog- . gjns is at center and of his playing so far this season nothing better *hould be hoped for. j. An old football veteran is at quarter. Henry has been playing high jjj( school and college football for eight to years now and he knows the game from Alpha to Omega. He has the experience to know how to use the wide ga variety of Erskine plays to discon- scj aert the opposing team, and to de aide the psychological moment to tgr Fo I WANTS = 1 an * ing CARPE: JTE*?Building and Repair s^( ^ ffark carefully and accurately ibae:.

There is ery reason that this should be so. Inside of 30 days, unless all signs il, the price of cotton will be up ain, probabljr-to' 30 cents or betwheat will have regained its rmal price, and the other big staple ricultural" crops, which recently ung to an unusually low level, are leduled to get back to .what has en expected since the armistice ,s signed. The big break in prices had to tne. It was inevitable. But it came d few have been seriously hurt. Southern people, as well as those >m other sections of the country, w say that with the formation of port companies at hand, with the certainties of election year a thing the past and with the prospects settling the coal strike in Engld exceedingly good, the commcr.1 skies are bright. Hope has been taken from the itement of big financiers a day or o ago that there was nothing in :ht to indicate' anything like a nic and that, on the contrary, good siness seems ahead. This is the jw taken by leading men in Washjton now. \ iFFNEY MILLS WILL CUT WAGES 15 PER CENT. G^ffney, S.
