'BOOKWORMS AND BASKETBALL
If we want to have a winning
team this year there is only one
method Ty which we can realize
Our "watlts. That method is
summed up in the one word- dealin wit sexual hygiene and
"work.' ' Last year we did not
begin practice until after Christ
mas; -and" as a result we did not
win altogether as many games as
we Should have liked. The teams
thatt won from us last year had
beeir Practicing all through the
fall. This year we have an op
po'rtunity to profit by their exam
ples and our failures.
Why can't the manager issue a
call for candidates and then let
the' captain of the team take
charge of those who report? The
Captairi could ' begin practice on
the out-door court, and get a line
otf the new material by the end of
the football season. Then as soon
as: football ; is over - he would be
ready fo pick his squad for indoor
practice. ' Thus, by the first of
Decettlber . the first and second
sqads could be ' working in the
gymnasium, while the class men
continued on the out-door court.
There are, of course, some
baske'tbaH men playing football.
Those wlio are playing on the
Varsity field could not come out
until the end of the season; but
theli it would not take long
to size them up after the great
massif the tryers-out had been
sifted. " Those who are on the
class field playingelass ball would
probably be glad to come off the
class fgridiron and begin practice
for Varsity basketball, since the
latter $s rather - more important
than the former.
There are now a number of en
thtisiastic basketball men new
meriout on the open court every
afternoon practicing. If these
men' are eager to be practicing
then those in charge of the game
this " year should certainly be
willing to take advantage of this
eagethess and go out and work
with them and get a line on their
goods." Of course this means a
little work for some one. But as
we have said before, there is only
one way that we know for accom
plishing things, and that is work.
Seniors, Juniors, and Sopho
mores are asked to put their sta
tistics for the Yackety Yack In

tive information about these
things would be appreciated by
the students and would be benefi
cial to them.V6 The finances of

are workingjon, could all be dis
cussed mchapel to the, good of

where we could all get together.
.
At the game next Saturday
with the University of South
Carolina team, let's see if we can't
show ourselves a college of gen
tlemen, iet's keep behind the
ropes and in addition to this see
that no misguided individuals
hurt the reputation of the Uni
versity by hissing, engaging in
cat-calls, and slinging unseemly
epithets at the members of the
other team as some few did at
the other two games which have
been played here this season.
Now that the County Clubs
have organized to a large extent,
and have organized to 1 advance
the interests of the University,
a slight stimulus might be given
to their endeavors, and a recogni
tion be made of their good work
if some one should offer a cup to
that club which . should do the
most efficient work during the
year. This would create a little
friendly rivalry which might do
some good.

The first meetiug of the Great
er University Council was held
Monday night. In addition to
the regular Council there were
present five members from each
of the classes. The officers of
the regular Council were retained:
Walter Stokes, Chairman, and D.
H. Carleton Secretary. A com
mittee was appointed to draw up
plans for organization. The
Greater Council will meet at reg
ular intervals to discuss Universi
ty problems of any sort. If any
student has a complaint to make,
he will be afforded an opportunity
to do so. It is hoped that through
this medium conditions at the
University may be improved,
IVE MONTHS' RULE CHANGED TO 1 YEAR.
The Faculty, upon the recom
mendation of the Faculty
Committee on Athletics has pas.kJ
ed a resolution changing what is
known as "the live months rule"
and substituting for it a one year
rule. Heretofore members of
football and baseball teams of
other colleges have not been eli
gible for University teams until
they have been a student for five
months at the Universitv. Now
they must attend the University o
tor a year before they can play
The resolution passed by the
Faculty was as follows: Resolved
that the words" for five months"
in section 4 of the rules of eligi
bility governing members of Uni
versity athletic teams be stricken
out and instead the following
words substituted: "for one colle
giate year", provided that this
rule shall not apply to any stu
dent of the University registered
on or Detore uctober 12. 1912.
Section 4 of the eligible rules
reads now as follows: No student
of the University who has been a
member or substitute member of
baseball or football team at
other college or University
during the preceding year shall
be permitted to become a member
of either baseball or football
team at this University until he
shall have been a student in resi
dence at this University for one
collegiate year.
I his change is not so radical
as it seems. Only three men dur
ing the last six years have been
members of the baseball or foot
ball teams who would be barred
by the new ruling. All other
institutions which make any pre
tence of pure athletics have al
ready adooted this rule. The
university is simply following its
plan of strict eligibility rules.
