ingenuity of the pageant directors was
not called upon to any great extent in
arranging the pageant ground. Nature
had already looked after that. A huge
stadium, built to accommodate 5000
people had been constructed; but long
before the hour for the opening pageant
scene, every available seat had been
taken and there were estimated to be
ut least 1000 people who contented them
selves with standing room in the spac-

Splendid Orchestra.
(By Staff Corrcspondent.)

Splendid OrcheStra.
The orchestra for the pageant, a
wonderfully efficient band Of musicians
under the direction of A. D. Lajoie of
Charlotte, was concealed behind
pretty half-natural, half artificial bank
of green growing things. Promptly at
the hour Of 2 o'clock, the magnificent
spectacle opened and for more than
three hours South Carolinians and
visitors from sister states saw portray
cd the history Of the state from then to
now.
AS the orchestra opened with the
pageant court music, changing after
time into the distinctive pageant motif
and family back into the court music
it died away, horn was heard family
in the distance beyond the beautiful
trees that formed a background for the
amph!theatre and q herald appeared on
horseback dressed in garnet with gold
trapping.
Bearing a bancr OH which was en-
b!aznncd the seal of Winthrop College.
upnn reaching the front he spoke by
way of introduction in full and radiant
tones:
..The story Of a ,slorious southern STATE
And how il grew mid troublous times,
We tell you here in picture and in song.
\ man like you. famed nor great.

Grew strong meath Carolina's sun,
And what men thought. and why men fought
And what the rolling years have brought 10
Lo. here it is. come see your state.
Birth of the State.
As the herald rode off TO the left and
the orchestra caught up the dance
music, there appeared beautiful WIN
! thrnp girls dressed as the Spirits of
the Land. Illustrated was the Golden
Sun attended by Il court OF danclnS
Sunbrams, bearing in uplifted hands

Dutchmen TO Play
At Alma Saturday

Coach Roy Campbell's Alma Col
iege football aggregation will inaug-
urate the home season Saturday af-
ternoon meeting the strong Hope
College outfit on Davis field, and ev-
cry confidence reigns in the Maroon
and Cream camp that the Presbyter-
ians will dump the Dutchmen in the
struggle.
A constant improvement has been
noticeable in the work of the Maroon
and Cream both in defense and in Of
Tense since the Michigan Aggie fray,
which was the first test of the season
for the new eleven. The improvement
has been so noticeable that it is at
tracing attention from the local fans
who are warming up to football this
year in a way that has not been since
the championship gridiron machine of
1917.
Last week and again this week new
plays were handed out to the eleven
By the Alma mentor and these were
rapidly worked out by the eleven and
form an integral part of the offens-
i've work that will be used against
the HolanGers in the Saturday fray
The shift formation which proved CON
siderable Of a puzzler for NJ. A. c. in
the second half of the opening game
is expected u be called into use TO
some extent also, and this shift for
nation with the new plays promises
TO make an offense that will keep the
Dutch going some to solve.
Coach Schouten is reported to have
one Of the strongest elevens that Hope
has ever had. Included in his lineup
will be six veterans Of other seasons.
Thus it is certain that the team the
Maroon and Cream is to meet will be
more Of a veteran aggregation than
the Alma clan can show.

ALMA TIES WITH
DETROIT JUNIOR
MAROON AND CREAM FORCES
THE FIGHT BUT Is UNABLE
TO SCORE.

Playing in sea Of water and mud
80 Gridley field in Detroit Saturday
Alma battled to a 0 to 0 tie with De
tro.t Junior College, failing to i'm
prove it's two possible scoring chances
that came the way Of the Maroon
aHd Cream, during the second quar-
tal Of the fray.
During the first quarter Of the
game the two teams battled about
even, the mud and water bothering
lth teams 10 q great extent in this
ion Of the fray
Almost Immediately after the open
ing Of the second quarter Alma was
given a wonderful scoring opportun-
is. The ball was on the Alma AZ
yard mark when the quarter opened.
Ca-herman ripped Off a run. going to
the Detroit Junior 80 yard line. From
,his point he heaved beautiful for
ward pass to Sartor, which the Ma
room and Cream end gathered in and
started for the goal with. Half a
yard from the goal Sartor was pulled
down. while attempting to use a
straight arm. On the first play Alma
tambed and recovered for a loss of
for yards. On the second play the
Alnaites were handed five yards for
CIT side. Two shift plays failed to
pat the ball over and it went to De-
tloit Junior.
Junior punted out, and Alma took
,.c bali and started back to the Junior
goal. The Alma quarter heaved a
pass TO Sartor, and this with several
SHIFT plays put the ball on Juniors ten
ra.d line. A tumble at this point
rave Junior the ball. The two fun
0les that came on these two possible
.arng opportunities were two Of the
fo.r that Alma made during the en-
tire game, indicating that hard luck
wa, chasing the Maroon and Cream.
Not once during the entire game
Gid Junior get close enough to the
Alma goal to really threaten to score
touchdown. The Detroiters once
,.ot as far into Alma territory as the
twenty yard line, but for the greater
