At a meeting held last Saturday and another held Tuesday the cap tains of the Presbyterian College bas ketball and baseball teams, were elec- ed for the 1925 season. Nick Hunter, who has shown his ability for two seasons on the cage quintet, was vot ed the place of leadership on this year’s team. WTien the pleasant days of spring have rolled around again, and the sharp command of the umpire is heard calling “batter up," Page Holladay will be seen leading the Blue Stocking nine and from his hang-oiit on third he will stir his comrades on to victory. For the past two years Hunter has been under the tutelage of Coach an y 0ne who has been so fortunate Johnson. He received his initial col lege training under Lonnie McMil lan, playing forward on the freshman aggregation his first year at which place his experience^ in the indoor sport was exemplified in each game. Nick is a graduate of the Chester High School. However he did not receive his early training in Chester fQJLhe. UveAinJUlaMi Georgia until the last year of his High School ca- in the line. Montjoy returned punts fine, and when it comes to passing and breaking up passes, the long, lanky fullback, Bill Adair, was a fea ture. • The whole Clinton team star red throughout the game. That Clin ton line is somewhat of a barricade. Those in the Clinton line-up were: Brown, McIntosh, Riley, Adair, C., Smith, Neighbors, captain, Trammel, Blakely, Adair, M., Montjoy, Adair W. Substitutes: Bennett for Brown. Mrs. Hunter Honored By Synod of S. 0. Services to Presbyterian Body and P. C. Studepts Lauded By Mem bers of Delegation. When the Synod of South Carolina met here, the guests were fed in the Judd Dining Hall under $he super vision of Mrs. Myrtle Hunter. To as to partake of her bounteous fare, the name of Mrs. Hunter is sufficient to warrant satisfaction when it comes to a question like this. The majority of the guests had never been this fortunate. They were both delighted and astonished when Mrs. Hunter’s sumptuous meals were placed before them. Many complimentary remarks Mw. liuute>t , &. < hehaUi-go 0u ty reer; there he played for Albany Hi. two years. Since coming to P. C. Nick has become quite a versatile athletic. He made his letter last year in football, baseball and basket-ball. This year with the new Gymnasium 'finished and a goodly portion of last year squad back P. C. should'be reck oned with in the cage sport. Page Holliday, captain-elect of the Blue Hose nine, is a member of the Senior Class and has been, on the baseball team now for three years. His first two years were devoted to work on shortstop while he was shift ed to third last year and will pro bably continue in that capacity this year. Before coming to P. C. Holli day played for Marion High School three years as shortstop. Last year Holliday’s batting average was one of the highest on the Blue Stocking nine and he had one of the lowest percentage of errors. and when the guests were departing a number of them expressed their envy of the students who had this good fortune as an everyday occur rence. As one of the last good dinners was being consumed, a good brother arose and proposed that the Synod show its appreciation of Mrs. Hun ter’s service, by presenting her Vfrith a gift as a token of remembrance.

(By Flem Mason) The shadows of darkness were des cending. The ball was on Clinton’s 15-yard line. A shift of men, a pass, a gasp, a scarlet jerseyed figure shot through the line. Bang! Tidewell’s drop-kick was blocked. A shrill blast. The game was over. The Laurens high school football team was tied by the Clinton team in the year of our Lord, 1924, by the score of 7 to 7. Laurens and Clinton both have fine teams and will cause much trouble. It will be hard to acore on the Clinton eleven and they always have a good threat.

At the regular meeting of the I. R. C. last Monday night. Prof. Lilly, head of the Public Speaking Depart ment of P.

Being* an American and not prejudiced one way or the other, Prof. Lilly was able to obtain a very flear and keen insight on matters that may develop a very important significance. In his talk, Prof. Lilly first took up England and explained her economic In one year motor registrations in creased by 20 per cent. there were maps placed showing the territory that Germany had lost, with writing just under the map, saying, “We will take it back as soon as we are able.” J.

In turn he took up the other allies and explain ed their position before the war, then he took up the German and Austrian view of the situation. Prof. Lilly ended by taking up each of these countries again and dressing them in their post-war possessions. He brought out the interesting fact that while most of the people of Alsace and Lorainne spoke German and* were considered as much German as Prus sians themselves by most people, they were at heart French. Speaking in German before the war, the people of this territory would say, “We hate the Germans.” In reality a great number of these people joined the French army and died for France durfhg the war. The French had won the hearts of this people, and Alsace and Lo rainne .rightfully belonged to France.
