The Wofford student body had covered it£ canipus with placards bearing this wording— “There's a Blue Stocking for Every Terrier—»Get Yours.” That was ex actly what the visitors almost did. The P. C. team did not play up to its us^ ual standard and many of its sponsors were disappointed by the exhibition that was offered. The team has taken on new life, however, and goes to R(h k Hill Saturday to meet Erskine with a renewed determination and fighting spirit.

IMPROVED ROAD NEEDED • Congratulations on the remodeling of Duncan’s Creek church are in or der. The large gathering attending the home-coming program there last Saturday was impressed with every thing it saw and heard. The congre gation is justly proud of its new house of worship and renewed interest is now being manifested in the church and its activities. Several new mem bers- were added to its membership Sunday morning. . After we had been invited and at tended the exercises, we had only-one criticism to make, namely, the road from the highway to the church. While some work has been done, it is yet far from a good road and needs further improving. We hope that Supervisor Watts will'take the matter under ad visement and build for the Duncan’s Creek people a good road from the church to the Musgrove and Calhoun highways. This section of the county is entitled to this improvement and we have no doubt that Mr. Watts will give it further attention as soon as he can get to it. Let’s hope so, any way.

Johnson. The suggested name will be officially adopted, we are inform ed, if it meets with the approval of the board of trustees. That objection should be raised by this body is not expected, and in our opinion, would be unwarranted and in bad taste. Walter Johnson has headed athletics at Presbyterian College for the past cago, and says that there is probably going to be an explosion of the sun which will doom the earth and its in habitants to extinction and may hap pen any minute although again it may not happen for a million years qr So. Another astronomer out in Berke ley, California, says that the universe is 194 quadrillion miles in diameter. One hundred ninety-four quadrillions is all there is—there isn’t anyjriore. Ordinarily statements like tfris leave us dumb and awe-stricken. We accept them as true because we have no way of contradicting them. They are like statements that used to be made about theology, when they argued whether one millions or ten blessing by disregarding a King’s pos itive orders? 20.

On several occas ions he has been offered similar work at other institutions with a substan tial increase in salary, and yet he has turned down these offers and remain ed in Clinton because of his love and attachment to Presbyterian college and the lasting friendships he has formed here. It is therefore highly appropriate that the new athletic field should be named in his honor. The students are to be congratulat ed on the suggested name they have put forth. It reflects the esteem in which Coach Johnson h held and shows a willingness and desire on the part of the students to give credit to whom credit is due. could tell -you to the last minnow. f ore you.
