Dec. 14.-At .he meeting ot the Board of Visitors last Tuesday it was decided that the Christmas furlough will begin on Wednesday, December-23 and will end on Jauur.ry 5. , The first quarter ex aininat'ons w'll begin on Friday next. Thc relay race last Saturday re sulted, as waa predicted, in an over r.nelming victory for the Citadel run ners. "Big Bill" Folger, running the last half mlle, reached the goal about tour minutes before the Y. M. C. A. man who came second. During the first four mile8 the Citadel was run ning second. But in the fifth mile that slim, lanky Daniel boy start 3d upon his Ihn and he "went some." The light-headed Andersonian was at his best and when he delivered the tube'to the sixth man he had gained such a nice lead that lt was never overtaken during the remainder of the race. Having been victorious for three consecutive years, we received permanent poa*e?sicn cf the kWaii trophy cup, which was offered under those conditions. Sunday night leave for Seniors went Into effect last Sunday. Quite a number *bok advantage of this privi lege and consequently a "heavier light and coal bill." But "the old man" should worry-maybe they switch off the lights?" The regular meeting of the Athletic Association was held in the chapel last Saturday, night The program was carried ont In the usual way and under the head o' new business var ious matters were discussed-the most important of these being tho present debt of the association which is about $800. President Le Tellter made a very effective talk, appealing for better support on the part of the cadets and stated that unless this debt was wiped out that athletics can not be pursued with any marked suc cess. As to what methods aro to bo seen. It waa auggested that, begin ning next session, a yearly. athletic fee of $500 be charged each cadet and this plan seems to have made a good impression, but as yet it has not been decided upon. Mr. Arthur P. McGee, '08, was present at the meeting ru'.d ho told of the work being done by the ro cently organized Charleston Chapter of the Alumni Association in this city and throughout the State In general. A letter has been , mailed to all grad uates and ex-cadets, whose addresses vere available, soliciting contribu tions and it ls expected that a nice sum will . be realized in this way. Gratifying responses have been receiv ed from Columbia and other cities sod lt ls hoped that within a few years the Citadel will be represented In all of our cities by Alumni Chapters. In this way a stronger spirit will be fes tered and the institution ls certain to receive benefit nom same, both In ath letics and otherwise. , -?j- . o o o o o o ooooooooooo o o o U. OF S.
