The following letter came from W. W. Wood, chairman of the Davidson faculty committee, under date of No vember 2: "Dear Prof. Sturgeon: “After talking over the schedule for next year with the athletic coun cil, we have decided that it would be unwise for Davidson and P. C. to meet next year in football. Our feeling is that the contest should be called off for a few years so that any animosity that may have existed in the past will have time to die out. We hope, how ever, that in a few years the two teams may be able to get together again.” Extracts from Prof. Sturgeon’s re ply to Mr. Wood follow: “I am indeed sorry that the athletic council of Davidson college has seen fit to take action severing athletic relations with the Presbyterian Col lege of South Carolina. If there is any animosity existing at the present or if there ever has been any, it has been entirely at Davidson college, for at no time has any such feeling been in existence here. “If it is the desire of the Davidson authorities to create such a feeling at tKe i ~Presbyterian college, they have taken the right? Step to do so. The breaking off of athletic relations can not help but create an antagonistic feeling, not only at Presbyterian col lege, but all over the state of South Carolina. Since the game at Rock Hill, when the talk concerning the sev ering of relations started, the press of this state has been unanimous in condemning such a step, Presbyterian being the natural rival for Davidson and vice versa. “After'our game in Rock HiU, the j newspaper reports, especially those j coming from certain sections of North ; Carolina, began, of course, to be dis- ? cussed by our students. At chapel ex ercises I advised our students to pay no attention to them, and to have nothing to say in reply. I stated that ] I did not believe there was any un- J pleasantness among those in charge of the game. “We thought that the real trouble whs that some on the outside, who had underestimated the strength of the P. C. team had possibly lost some thing on the game, for which we did not think either institution was re sponsible. # “It would of course be inconsistent to discontinue football contests, or. ac count of a feeling of animosity at Davidson college, and still continue to meet in other sports. I am there fore assuming that you wish to dis- | continue contests in other sports, and am returning to you the contracts for I the proposed track meets, in 1927 and 1928, unsigned. We also have a two- year contract for freshman football, • the first game of which is scheduled . for Novmeber 20th. I assume, from . your letter, that Davidson .through its athletic council, would like to have this contract cancelled. This is agree able to Presbyterian college. Please let me know definitely in regard to this as soon as possible. “The above is not only my personal views on the matter, but is written only after consultation with President D. M. Douglas, and the faculty com mittee on athletics. All of these con cur in the statements that I have (Signed) “H. E. Sturgeon, “Faculty chairman of athletics.’’ In reply to this communication from Presbyterian college, came the second letter from W. W. Wood, under date of November 15, extracts from which follow: T am sorry that you apparently sinterpratad the maaning of my let- >. It is possible that the word ‘ani- oaed was a little to rtrowg > I **■ referring only to the ill feel- contest where this kind of feeling ex ists. We hope that our varsity foot ball teams will meet again after this feeling will have had time to die out. “We do not wisih to sever relations in other branches of sport unless you think it wise to do so. We shall be glad to send you the track contract if you wish it. As evidence that we wish to meet your track team will remember that the contract was drawn up after the game in Rock Hill, and that both copies bear my signa ture. “As to the freshman football con tract, you may rest assured that we should like to play this game if you desire it, and you can be sure that your team will receive the same fair treatment, etc. “In conclusion, let me say that Da vidson holds its sister institution in high regard and that I hope our var- .‘■Hy football teams will be able to get together again in a few years.’’ Such is the correspondence which has taken place on the subject, and which will doubtless clear up the whole I question for any one interested. Feel ing is at high pitch on the Presbyte rian college campus following such ac tion from the authorities at Davidson college. It is universally believed in Clinton that the action of Davidson was due entirely to fear that the Wild cats would lose the 1927 encounter. This belief is grounded on Davidson’s wish to meet the Blue Stockings in ether branches of sport, an attitude entirely inconsistent with her claims that animosity makes "any contests’ out of the question. Presbyterian college students like wise resent Davidson’s action in hold ing Presbyterian college to her con tract for today’s freshman football game, after expressing a wish to drop P. C. from varsity schedules.^ The announcement of Davidson’s schedule change appeared in paper* in Loth North and South Carolina early this week. •0 Hand Work Display Miss Allie Garvin wishes to an nounce that she has a display tf nand work at her home at 106 East Cb-o- jlina avenue.
