NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM CLEMSON COLLEGE

Clemson College, Oct. 31.-The
cross-country team is being whipped
into shape now and sore muscles and
stiff joints are now thing of tho
past. Professor w. D. Reed of, Mis-.
sissippi A. and n. College has Cargo
of the team this year. Prof. Reed
has had much experience with cross.
country running and is putting out
some good men this year. From all
indications Clemson will have win
ming team this year. A score of men
have reported for training anad they
are all being trained to run the three
and five mile races. Two meets have
been scheduled and more are to be
arranged. Clemson will send team
to the State meet on Thanksgiving
day and another team to the A. A. U.
meet in Atlanta, Ga, on the same day,
and, hence, must have two teams.
Clemson has already won the State
meet two years in succession and if
we win this year the cup will be ours
permanently But, Coach Reed says
and any man maxim gthe teams must
be able to show his heels to any of
his opponents.
the State Fair last week The mem
bers of the college band, the football
squad, several members of the faculty,
many alumni, and several members OF
the Junior and Senior Glasses attend
ing. The Clemson exhibits this year
were numerous, and proved interest
ing and instructive to all who saw
them. Cadets were given the pri-
velege of attending the Fair by hav-
ing leave from Wednesday afternoon
until Sunday night. Cadet j. E..
Hodge, of Manning Route /, was
among those attending. Cadet Hodge
returned to the college on Sunday and
reports big time.
On Thursday of Fair week Clemson
played The University Of South Caro-
lima and the "Tigers" had hard fight
but finally won by a field goal which
netted three points. Carolina was
within one yard of Clemson's goal but
were unable to score. Clemson's score
came in the last two minutes of play.
Robinson, of Winnsboro, was success
full in sending the pigskin through the
bars. Carolina defeated Clemson in
1920 and 1921, and the dope said
Carolina would win again this year
but the Tigers demonstrated that
Clemson was coming back into her
old place in the football world. Glenn
son has won from Carolina total
of fifteen times out of twenty-one,
Carolina winning five times and ty-
ing once. Classes at Clemson were
suspended from IL o'clock until three
and the game, play b yplay, was re-
ceived by Radio. On Thursday night
the Clemson students celebrated with
big bonfire on Bowman Field and
an apple scramble afterwards. Glenn
son meets Georgia Tech in Atlanta,
on Saturday, November 4th and the
game promises to be very interest
ing one.
The October issue of 'The Chronicle
the Clemson magazine, came out last
week and is up to it's usual standard.
The Chronicle contains quite num-
Der OF poems, essays, and short
stories and has bright prospects for
very successful year One of the
poems appearing in this issue was
written by Cadet E. d. Plowden, of
Jordan, an dis entitled "The Parting
Day" The poem follows:
Did you ever stop to think
How beautifully the sun
Badc farewell Ito parting day
When it's work was done?
How it sank beneath the clouds,
Shedding rays of brilliant light;
Driving off the glorious day,
And ushering in the night?
1T hid it's face meath clouded fold,
or skies in colors rich and rare;
The middays heat was changed to
cold,
And then the night was in the air.
The evening star rose ore the hill,
The tinted sky grew dim and bare;
Soft, deep notes Of the whippoowill,
Rang from the creeks and filled the
air.
The lonely, radiant, full-orbed moon,
Began to shed it's silvcry light,
And this perfect day of June
Slowly faded into night.
