Offer ‘Little Bronze Derby’ Newberry College and Presby terian College has been a-feudin’— athletically, that is—ever since the turn of the century, with no tan gible symbol of victory in their contests save the scores. The situation was remedied to day after the manner of the famed Minnesota -Purdue “Little Brown Jug” and the Indiana-Purdue “Old Oaken Bucket”, according to a joint release received yesterday from the publicity departments of the two “Little Four” colleges. Hereafter, the Fighting Redskins’ and the Blue Stockings’ athletic teams will know for what they struggle: A tangible symbol of vic tory—“The Little Bronze Derby”. The award is the outgrowth of the “abduction” of a Presbyterian student’s derby hat at the first meeting of the two college’s bask etball teams earlier this season, but the Newberry students relin quished the trophy in order to make *it a traditional symbol of athletic victory. The hat will be awarded for the first time tonight to the winner of the Newberry-Presbyterian basket ball game at Clinton at 8 o’clock but in theory only. In actuality, the derby is in the hands of a Co lumbus, Ohio, Jeweler for bronze casting and is not expected to ar rive until the first week in March. At that time, it will actually go to the winner of tonight’s game. The “Little Bronze Derby” will be enclosed in a glass case and dis played among the athletic trophies of the winning school, along with the scores of all future football, basketball, and baseball games. However, the derby may change hands again come baseball season, and the splitting of victories in the two diamond contestes this spring would see a double shift in the lo cation of the trophy. The Newberry and Presbyterian publicity departments have made the plan applicable to each contest in all three major sports, rather than to football alone, in order to provide greater year-round interest. The award is part of a general plan for keeping athletic relations of the two colleges on a high stand ard despite the keen rivalry which exists between them. The coopera tive movement was initiated last winter by the student government etball season theatened athletic relations between the two. Home Nursing Class For Colored Women Throu'gh the cooperation of the South Carolina Tuberculosis Asso ciation and the Red Cross, a very successful course in home nursing came to a conclusion on Monday afternoon. There were two class es of 12 students each, one class meeting in the afternoon for two hours and the other at night for the same length of time. The Red Cross trained Negro nurse was very efficient, and the members of the classes had been diligent students as was evidenced by the two hour demonstration given on Monday afternoon before a group of interested women among their white friends as well as a group of Negro friends. To Eunice Allen and her sister, the committee is indebted for se curing the enrollment, and to Ralph Williams for furnishing the use of his hall, with heat, lights, and jan itor service. As a result of this training, bet ter care of the sick in their homes of these women will result. So great has been the interest aroused that applicants had to be turned away this time, but plans are being made for additional classes for the negro women in the spring. NEWS FROM OAKLAND By MRS. E.
