With the campaign.balf finished, it would be interesting to pause and consider the outstanding players so far this season. At the ends, tbe^e are' several who have played great old it.\hick bMk ciD be rtripped off "P every year without hurting the tree. Some Spa^h cork groves kave been BO “harvested? for hundreds of years. Years ago inland Stanford tried to introduce thV cork oak in Cali fornia. Some of urn trees he planted are producing as w^as the Spanish trees do, but AmCrickn farmers ’did not have the patience-tkwait for re sults during the severalX years it takes a tree to begin to Keld. cork in commercial qualities. Germany has just enacted Ta de cree forbidding the use of cork bottles. '\OnIy homegrown stoppers may be used.

The report is that a poultry fanner in IllinoM has found that by expo4. ing his chickens to ultra-violet rayk instead of sunlight he can produce fowls which have only white meat when cd^ked for the table. Xx^ If true, this will be welcome news to the chicken-eaters who always want “a slice off the breast, please.” For my part, I seem to lack en thusiasm. My choice, when my family gives me the option as what part of the chicken I want, is the “second joint.” That wouldn’t-taste natural if it were white meat. is Bob King of Furman, Bob Johnson of Carolina, and Alex (jettys of Ers- kine. ^ The outstanding tackles have been Black of Clemson, Babb of Furman, Hvglif '* Rogers of The Gitade'l, and| Dorflinger of Carolina. The guards have b^n Beeman of P. C*. Kelly and Gaffney of Carolina, and Patrick of Furman. » Center.^ ar^ Burns of Carolina, Lewis of Clem.son, and Miller of The Citadel.- \ ^ Berry of Clemson, Dearth of Caro lina, and Culclasure of Furmaft are leading the parade of quarterbacks. Outstanding halfbacks have been Idon of P. C., Scott of Furmaii, of Carolina, Nat Smith of The Citadel, ancj Folger of Clemson. of P. C., and Chet Smith of The Citadel, look like the best of the fullbacks. It is too e'krly to be suggesting an all-state team.^vit these men are cer- tain^to receive consideration when the selection is made. Clinton boys who are making good on distant football teams are Bailey Williams, who is playing some classy football at one of the terminals for the best Davidson team in- many yeats, and L. T. Lawson of South Carolina. Lawson has shown several of the Buddies that it isn’t always the big man that is the best and has won a starting ^rth on the powerful Uni versity freshman team. Citadel’s Bulldogs cashed in on a rough and rowdy style of play to pile up four touchdowns and a 25 to 0 vic- ory over P. <5. last Saturday evening under the floodlights of the cadet field. 7 Chet Smith scored three of. the touchdowns after diminutive Nat Smith had put the ball in position with some brilliant footwork. The first tally came just^ before the end of the opening quarter. A 27-yard run by Nat Smith put the ball on P.jC.’s ll-yard 'stripe, and Chet Smith went over fof the score. On the heels of this, Nat Smith slipped through the Hose defense for a 55-yard run, but "a penalty nullified the play.

T GOLD—Worth Hunting The world scarcity of gold, and its cpnii'equent high price resulting from the devaluation of so many of the world’s currencies, hat been a boon to gold miners everywhere. Ores which didn’t pay to ’woj:k at their old prices, now yield a handsome profit. - - Canada has a real gold-mining bpom. ■ More than 126 mills are now ei^tracting gold from Canadian ore. Last year about nine million tons of ore were milled, yielding ml^ut 2,600,000 ounces of gold. The first half of this year, the gold output of the Doriiinion was even larger. “Gold is where* you find it.” It pays, theee days, to hunt for gold. At least twice as much as is now available • is needed, to bring the world’s finances back to normal. Go out and JTnd yourself a gold mine, young fellow. VETERANS—*1116 G. A. R.

Now the lnt~bandful of the survivors of the armies of the North in the war between the statea are men of 90 or so. The brand otf fbbtball played by the Clinton high echoql football team should be a source of pride for all Clintonians. Since Coach Wilder took over the none too promising squad two years ago the team has won a vast majority of their games | and those that they have lost were not by large scores. During the past few years the interest of Clinton in their teams seemed to be on the wane, but the return to winning form has changed the situation. Clinton had been a doormat for Thomwfll for fifteen straight years until Coach Wilder and his boys came through with a victory two years ago. This was repeated last year. Much credit is due Mr. Wilder for the fine work he is doing and a good way to ref>ay him is to give the team steady sup port. jbe boys on this year’s squad are small as usual but tbe^^^tave al ready shown that they are a team to be reckoned with. They are eagerly awaiting tbe game with Thornwell which promises to be a thriller.
