Columbia, Oct 5.—Fighting with bulldog tenacity, struggling in an en deavor to push over even a bare field goal, ftie Carolina and Presbyterian College freshmen fought to a score less tie Saturday afternoon on Uni versity field. It was a game of thrills—a battle any .good football fan would enjoy. It was a struggle—a man for man test—with members of both teams scrapping like tigers, only to ffiid that they could not cross the other’s goal. f The P. C. freshmen might have won had -they- continued the magnificent drive they had in the first quarter. Carolina could have won if several fumbles had been converted into long distance runs. But neither team was able to get a decision. Both lines held like stone walls at crucial m6- ments; forward passing was success-' ful at times, but never when the ball was nearer than the 25 yard line of the coveted goal. Penalties were fre quent. P. C. suffered several for off side plays and also for a shift play. Carolina also had a tendency to be offside. The players on both teams were awfully anxious! The Presbyterians made nine first downs to five for the Biddies. The Clinton boys made six in the first half. Carolina - came through with three first downs in the initial period The third quarter was a punting af fair, with R. Wimberley of Carolina getting the better of the argument. The Chicks' halfback averaged 42.6 yards during the afternoon. Floyd Thomas, Columbia high school tackle, played one of the pret tiest games ever played by a lineman on University field. The big lad was in practically every play. Time after time he went through the line and nabbed the fleet‘backs of the Presby terian College. He did not seem to know how to miss. Flake, the other Carolina tackle, also gave the P. C. runners fits. CoAch Brockinton un questionably has two of the best tackles in freshman football in the state. Stamp#, the same old Stamps of tlu^^hampion Thorn well Orphanage telam, even showed improvement over his exhibition of last year when he played such a spectacular game against Columbia high school for the coveted title of high school football-. He was watched very closely, but even with eagle eyes fixed upon his evfery movement, he was equal to the occasion. The entire P. C. backs are fast— sometimes showing too much speed for their own line to compete. Wil son, another Thornwell Orphanage protege, shared honors with Stamps, as did both Dugan and King. With erspoon held his side of the line in a creditable manner and proved him self to be a good tackier. McKenzie played the P. C. center position as if he had been engaged in football ac tivities all of his life. Stephens at left end also” showed up well. “Red” Swink was particularly apt in making Carolina’s first down. He also passed well. Kafer, as usual, played a hard game at right end. He has a habit of being over anxious, however, and keeps his feet too near the “other fellow’s” territory. Captain Burnett won the toss and elected to kick. Captain Stamp* de cided to defend the west goal. Wim berley kicked to the 20 yard line and Stephens returned five yards. Wilson made 11 yards through the line. A fumble followed and Kafer fell on the ball. After McQueen lost three yards and a pass netted eight yards, Bur nett missed a try for field goal. The remainder of the first quarter was P. C.’s, with Wimberley’s toe frequently sending the ball into neu tral territory and away from Caro lina’s goal line. Both Stamps and Wilson ran well with the ball in this period, but at times were interrupted in their rush owards goal by the bril liant tackling of F. Thomas, M. Thomas and Flake. The second quarter opened with a 20 yard pass, Swink to Kafer. This was followed by several short gains, an incomplete pass and McQueen’s fumble on the 80 yard line. P. C. came back with a vim and started a rushing attack. But at critical mo ments the Carolina line held and the Clinton boys were forced to punt or lose the bail on downs. The first half ended with the ball in the middle of the field. ' The third quarter was mostly a kicking bee, with Wimberley gaining on each punt. During 1 the period, Carolina made two first downs on forward passes which were fairly caught, unintentionally dropped and skillfully recovered by waiting Bid- ^ A pass and a first down by^Swink started the Gamecock supporters to cheering at the opening of the final quarter. After Flake had recovered a fumble and Wimberley had lost four yards, Burnett tried Us aeooed field coal, but missed. Stamps took tha bell on the 1£ yard Uae •d to the 46 yard lint.

NUMBER 42 m m a first down and then Stamps inter cepted a forward pass on his 30 yard line and returned the ball 16 yards. Several failures to gain and a penalty compelled the former- orphanage star to punt. After a try for first down, Wimberley kicked to the 40 yard line. King then proceeded to make it 11 yards on two line plunges. Wilson made 16 through the line. King made four and Stamps four. Holcombe made a pretty tackle and got Stamps on the line. Stamps then attempted a field goal and missed the cross bar by inches. Only one minute remained for hos tilities. McQueen made five yards and Swink took a few feet. Carolina was penalized five yards. Burnett lost five. That was the end. The scoreless game ended with the hall in Carolina’s possession on P. C.’s 20 yard line. P. C. Carolina Stephens UK Farr Witherspoon LT F. Thomas Blake LG..../.

The City Organization, -m-mmmm—mmrn In order tto clear aVray misappre hensions on'the part of a'great many people, end expedite their public busi- ness, tills statement is made for gen eral public convenience. There are three functions of government in the town of Clinton, as in the United States, and in tite state of South Carolina, these three being distinct and separate. They are the legisla tive, the executive, and the judicial. The head of the judicial department is Mr. Guy C. Pitts, city recorder. His decisions are absolutely indepen dent of the mayor or Council. The executive head is the mayor, J. F. Jacobs, who is at the head of all de partments of the city government, subject only t# legislative enactment on the part of the council, and super vision by council’s committees, and subject, of course, to judicial decision made by the recorder. Under the mayor there are respon sible heads for each department, and citizens who have business with any department of the city government should take up matters of interest with the proper department. Mr. Guy Tumblln is superintendent of the water and lights. Mr. Parks Adair is head of the fire department, Mr. Frank Adair head of th% ^street department. Miss Mary Chalmers, clerk and treasurer, in charge of the collection of all taxes, assessments and city obligations generally. Mr. D. W. Mason is~head of the police de partment and clerk of the recorder’s court. He handles the collection of fines. He is also health inspector. Mr. P. F. Patton is city engineer, apd in charge of all new construction in sewer system, water system, lighting and paving, except minor extensions, which may be handled by the super intendent of the water end light de partment. All of these heads of de partments are responsible to the mayor. Complaints against any de partment should be made to the mayor, but detailed transactions should be taken up with the head of each department, and only in .case of unsatisfactory dealing should the matter be brought to the attention of the mayor. Council, consisting of six counc; men and the mayor, constitutp^the legislative power of the city, and through committees investigates the workings of the various departments and reports 'to council in any mat ter requiring legislative enactment. Council should not be burdened with executiv^dr judicial matters. The judicial should not be burdened with exeetitive or legislative matters, and the executive should not be burdened with judicial or legislative matters. With this system of government distinctly understood by the citizens, much loss of time in meeting the needs of the citizens will be accom plished, by getting the matter direct ly to the proper head, and getting immediate action without putting it through someone else who has to pass it along to the proper departmental head. In each department the head of the (department is responsible for 1 the work of all subordinates, and re sponsible to the executive head of the city, the mayor, and through him to council. But there will be no inter ference by council or by the mayor with the employment and regulation of subordinates by the departmental head, unless complaint is made of in- statemen’t Of tile Ownership, Management, Required by the Act of of ASgest 24th, 1912, THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Publisher, Chronicle Publishing Co., Editor, W.
