7 Vol. III. • VICTORY! SOUTH CAROLINA SUCCUMBS TO GEORGIA. An Exciting Game of 11 to 10. A Re ception Tendered the Team. It was just 3:45 in Columbia, S. C., when two large ’busses rolled out of the beautiful campus there, tilled with the Columbia-’Varsity nine and the jolly boys from old Georgia They hurried out to the ball park about three miles distant, accompanied by a large brass band. After a little preliminary abuse of the sphere by both teams the game proper was begun, with Columbia at the bat. With three men on the bases in the first Georgia made a beauty double, and went in to the bat. Morris got to the second and then j our team went out in I, 2, 3 order. In the second Capt. Morris kicked I because batter’s box was not laid I off and game was stopped until it j was marked off. Wo made two runs in this inning. Up to the eighth inning the Geor gia boys would circle the bases and go in home like carrier pigeons, but in these innings Columbia got her feathers up and batted out six runs, making the score only eleven to ten in our favor. Then it was that the crowd went wild ami the old band played “Marching throughGeorgia.” In their half of the ninth they ! got three hits off of Pettis, who was | only put in the box in the last inn- I ing, and besides making three runs they had the bases full. Then Pettis let himself out and retired two batters by slriku-outs, and excite ment was intense, when iu some un seen way Kemp secured the ball from Nallty and he slipped upon the S. C. boy on third and touched him out before be could retreat to his base. This saved the game for the 'Varsity. The grounds were rotten, being very slow with two inches of sand in the infield and oats six inehes ( high in the outfield. The grounds I account for most of the errors made by our boys. The umpire was a caricature on fairness and politeness. He refused to quit umpiring when our captain insisted on having another umpire, and said that he owned half of the ball park and that if be did not um pire the game out, they should not j play on his gronnds. The man who ran against Clarke aud caused him to make an error University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., May 9, 1896. No. 21). did it entirely by accident. Our base stealing and Kemp's play were the features of tho game. The score will show how each of the members of our team played. After a few yells by both teams the crowd left and tho ball players were driveu back to the college. That night an elegant reception was tendered the visitors by one of the professors. The boys returned the next day, after one of the most delightful trips ever taken by a Georgia ball team. The Columbia boys treated our men with the ut most courtesy, aud we hope some day to entertain them us visitors in our city. The official score is :— Okoboia. V.ll H. 111. P.o. A r..

Those who were so fortunate as to be present at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon dance on last Saturday morning, report having enjoyed one of the most delightful fraternity nf fairs of the season. The calendar of this Spring has been dotted with a great many so cial events and especially has fra ternity entertainments been numer ous, ami it was on this aforesaid oc casion that the climax of “ morning germans” was attained. About twenty jolly couples gath ered in the elegant apartment* of the club at about 11 o'clock, ami soon a graceful german was iu full sway in the hall, which is adjacent to their suite of parlors. The german was successfully led by Mr.Craig Harrow and Miss Mary Thomas, of Atlanta. Mr. Harrow introduced many nuvcl and unique figures and the dance lasted until about one o’clock when delicious re freshuieiits greeted the eyes of the dancers. The german was given iu honor of the visiting young ladies iu our city,aud : t passed off iu thalsmooth manner which characterizes the en tertainments of this fraternity. LUCY COBB GOSSIP. Tho French and German plays presented in the Seney.Stovall chap el by M’llo Landerer's pupils was a great success. The young ladies seemed at home iu both of these foreign languages and reflected much credit on their teacher. Earned runs, Georgia 4, Carolina 2. Two base hits, Gaston.

A Brilliant Lecture. Judge Henry Lumpkin, of Allan- ta, delivered a most interesting lec ture to the Law ('las* last Wednes day morning. Judge Lumpkin is, besides being one of the ablest lawyers of the State, also a graceful speaker and a man of splendid address. His effort was highly appreciated by every member of the class, and his kindly advice and expression of love for his alma inater won their hearty friendship and admiration. A Lawyer. (?) Mr*. R. llobbs,of Albany,accoin- panied by her charming little daughter, Miss Mary Dee, is visiting Miss Aiiiiiu llobbs. May 12th is a holiday with us. The question is, how shall wu cele brate Mr. Seney's birth-day? The majority are iu favor of a picnic, but where? that is now the ques tion. We, who have gazed so lov iugly at the passing tallyhos this spring, will soon have a day iu the woods —all to ourselves. Miss Hooper’s Recital was post poned on account of her illness. We arc glad to announce that she is better, and that the Recital will be given next Tuesday afternoon iu the Seney Stoval Chapel. The Senior Class of Dfi will have a brilliant reception this year, on Wednesday evening, June 10th. This will be the one social feature of the year for the class audit is looked forward to with feelings of great joy. Rev. W. A. Carter, of the Presby terian Church, from Columbus, Ga., will preach the Commencement ser mon. Those who have heard Dr. Carter predict for us a fine sermon. VANDERBILT'S ACTION. The way that Vanderbilt has treated us is nothing short of dis honorable. Every arrangement bad been made for tbe games, and tho advertising for the Atlanta game was well under way. At the very last moment,Vanderbilt telegraphed that they could not come. It was a somewhat sinister fact that the telegram sent us should have come from Sewanee, where Vanderbilt had just been over whelmingly defeated. Wo can scarcely believe that even Vander bilt would back out of a game be cause they feared a drubbing. It may be false doctrine, but at Geor gia we think that an honorable de feat is better limit a questionable victory. At Vanderbilt as our foot ball team Will testify they seem to think that the accomplishment of an end justifies any means. Wo sincerely hope that such principles will make I men of them all,but we cannot but wish that it will lie some lime before Georgia gives up her old time idea of honor and adopts the more up to-date one cher ished at Vanderbilt. Heretofore it has doubtless boon thought unnecessary, but now if seems imperative, that the Southern Inter collegiate Association should udopt some rules which should com pel contracts to be kept. They did not even do n* the cour tesy to answer our correspondence promptly: had they been more busi ness liku,wc oouldhave gotten games with Alabama or with Sewanee. If this treatment is to continue, it were better for us to have no furth er athletic relations with Vanderbilt. A Northern Stigma. A most repulsive sight might have been seen last Friday on the 8. A. !.. railroad, by any one coining from Atlanta on the Vestibule. Iu one of the Pullman sleept rs sat a hand some, dignified lady, her son a col lege boy, and her daughter, all ap parently refined and cultured people. The girl was a beautiful blonde, with soft blue eyes, gentle manners and whose being was a pleasing vision of innocence, purity and vir tue. Iu the very seat with this smiling bud of beauty sat a big black, greasy negro man, who was laughing, joking, and reading selected extracts from “Frivolous Cupid,’’ and carrying on a consider able flirtation with her as they fin ished a dainty meal together. What if this had happened thirty years ago in Georgia? Why is chivalry so dead ? What are South trutrt to expect iu the fulur*? C.
