As the dope now has it every man on the present varsity will return to his post of duty when the roll is called in September of next year. Undim inished by graduation and recruited by converts from other colleges and HE vvAs 65c V D TIC,I;R schools, the Carolina finest will not be one whit less able to uphold the honor of the university on the gridiron than was the team of 1912. The peerless leader, Fritz Von Kolnitz, graduates in law next June, but it is understood that he will return in search of an M. A. Of course, lie will get relief from the tedium of mental effort by exer cising his competent body each aft ernoon on the gridiron. This has been his favorite pastime for some years and has proved highly bene ficial to the athletic standing of the particular college of which lie hap pened to be a member. Big Dunn will continue his studies in the department of civil engineering. He will also play tackle in the way that you. read about in books. Big Mills will operate around the other tackle po sition with his accustomed unladv likeness of play.

He is one of the best centers in these parts and would look mighty good at the pivotal point of the team. Jerry Porter and Bernard Stoney, guards, are juniors, hence have one more year to play on the varsity. Their work as bucking partners to Ted has been great all the season and they will be even stronger next year than during the present sea Gitney Sligh and Luke Hill will be on the ends of the 1913 varsity. which simply means that all gains by the opposition around either ex trenme are to be cut off. Also there will be no long runs made in bring ing back the punts. Bill I-Iarth will act as general for the team. His work at quarter has been good all the season and will show just as much class next year. Dan Heyward will be on the job again as half. This announcement means that there will be some runs coming up when they are needed. Fritz VonKolnitz will tend the other half in his usual great style. Dutch Passailaigue will be the demon at full back with his line plunges and brilliant defensive work. Langston, who has worked in the back field, will inject some of his scintillating p)lay into the old game next year.

Girardeut-Ted has the tunique (distiniction of not having missed a varsity scriimmage in two years. He op)erated from the tackle last year, but shifted to the l)ivotal n)oint at the beginning of the present season. At various stages of the College of Charleston and Clemson games he played against six opponents, three for each contest. Not a burn heave has been registered against him through the entire season and his numerous tackles behind the line have been the strongest feature of the Gamecock defense. Porter-Jerry is one of the most powerful men on the team. physi cally, and combines an aggressive ness with his strength that makes him most formidable as an antagon ist. This is his second year of varsity ball and it is probable that this stalwart son of Pickens will be a member of the 1913 first eleven. Stoney-This hefty. who now adorns a guard position, is a made over back field man. He operated as half for the greater part of last season but was shifted to the line in the early practices of this year. The change was a wise one and as a forward, Bernard has few equals in this neck of the woods. Mills-"Bigun" is thought by those who know, to be one of the most valuable line men ever on the insile of a Garnet and Black jersey. He has played for four years, shift ing from tackle to full back to end. Hl is natural position is at tackle and it is here that he has played a sen sational game all the season. Brann-With Mills, Brann com pletes one of the best sets of tackles a Carolina team has had in many years. This is his third year of varsity ball. He is as steady and de pendable as an alarm clock, and tnak,s a specialty of cutting down secondary interference. Avinger-Bootie last year cap tained the Porter team when that bunch held the Citadel to a 6-6 tie. He has played consistent ball since his arrival here, working at tackle and guard. His work in the North Carolina game was a feature. He has one more year of ball here, and it is expected that he will go some on the 1913 team. Sligh-;it, so-called because of his preference for the nickel to any other coin, is another son of the Darlington High school. He played guard in several games last year, but has taken up his post on end this year, making his initial bow in that p)osit ion in the Clemson game. HeI is strong on breaking up opposing interference. Hill-O)ne of the most helpful things in the life of the college last year was the dliscovery of this youth, he also coming by the D)ar lington route. lie made his letter as a freshman, per~ forming on endl, where he has playedl this season. He is as fast as lightning down a slip pery elmi and is a dleadlly tackler. |College Barber Shop Stylish Hlair Cuts and First Class Shav'es Shave 10I OcMair Cu 5 for $1 .00 CAROLINA WILL HAVE FAST BASEBALL NINE Dope on 1913 Season Sounds Mighty Good. Nearly All of the Old Heads Are Back and Many New Men Have Been Caught-The Schedule. Advance dope on the coming baseball season listens mighty well. Although practice will not begin until the early dlays of March, in formation from various channels leads to the prediction that the 1913 haseball varsity will cavort around Davis field with as much ability as the nines of past seasons have ex hibited. Only three men of last year's team, Oglesby, Smith and Dul.Bose, will be missing when Cap tain Daddy Watts musters his men out, and quite a number of new comers are touted as probable strong contenders for varsity posi tions. Big Mills is the only pitcher that has yet come to light. His perform ances in the rifle pits for the past two years have (lone much to turn games into the local till and it is believed that the big boy will have the same line of goods when he miounts the slab during the coming season. Rumor has it that Dunn. Avinger and Ilevward, of football fame, cavort as well on the diamond as on the grid and will have to be reck oned with when it comes to giving out jobs.
