The annual football classic between the Presbyterian College of South Carolina and Davidson College of North ’Carolina will be held in Rock Hill either October 16 or 17. It now seems very probable that the date for this game will be changed from Fri day the 16th to Saturday the 17th though, no definite change has yet been made. This change is known to be satisfactory to both colleges invol ved and it is probable that the game will be played Saturday. * H The Wildcats sprang a surprise when they held the strong Wake For est teanp to a 7 to 7 tie. The David- sonians having been doped to lose the game by from one to two touchdowns. The unexpected strength has thrown a bombshell into the South Carolina Blue Stocking camp and Walter John son’s warriors are working hard in an endeavor to be in tip top shape to meet their ancient rivals. With Griffith and Kirven starring in the line, and with both men look ing like' all-state material the Blue Stocking line looks good. It was Griffith who time and again in both the Clemson and Erskine games broke through the opposing line to’ throw the backs for losses. In both games his side of the line proved invulner able. Kirven, stocky little Presby terian center, also was in nearly every play. Stevens and Tinftmons have showed up exceedingly well in their department in the two gafties. The Presbyterian -backfield came through with the goods in the Ers kine game. They had failed to show the expected drive and offensive pow er in the Clemson game when they failed to make a first down, but in the Erskine game the Blue Hose ran up 18 first and tens. Stamps led the at tack, but was ably assisted by every man in the backfield. The Blue Stocking pigskin toters carried the ball for a total gain of 253 yards from the line of scrimmage. Of this amount 14JI yards was gained straight through Krskine’s line.' The Presbyterians are looking for ward to their battle with their rivals of old and the game bids fair to be a batle royal. Davidson was winner last year at Asheville by 15 to 3 score and the Blue Stockings are out with blood in their eyes to avenge that defeat.

Fashion Delights In Fine Laces If you love fine laces you are in accord with fashion, and fashion is, for the moment, in accord with you. Like fur, lace is both trimming and fabric and lovely either way; and again, like fur. It never seems to be common, no matter how popular it becomes. As a matter of fact, it is a fabric accredited to the point where it is numbered among the “tailored” materials, as well a« dress. When of the latter type it is hand led exactly as though it were cloth and makes ' the 'most fetching coat dresses, with long sleeves that one might ask. The lace itself, in this event, is rather heavy, and combines wool with metal threads in some of the lovliest designs. It comes as wide as fifty-two inche for pracial con venience in cutting, and it is quite possible to get pattern dresses of lace. / X, f Better Service Than Ever ^JTHEocop (&zx ’HE ocope and efficiency of long distance telephone has made our nation one big friendly >rhood.
