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. This is the big

Rumor has it-and Ted doesn't
deny it-that Girardeau will turn
up for practice again next year. He
is one of the best centers in these
parts and would look mighty good
at the pivotal point of the team.

which simply means that all gains
by the opposition around either ex

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

work. Langston, who has worked
in the back field, will inject some of

hits the line ini a peculiar rotary
fashion and usually emerges fromi
the sharp struggle of the scrim
nmage some yards further dlownl the
hield.
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.

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.
The Schedule.
\ltliough the schedule has not
been definitely announced by Man
ager McDonald, it seems that the
following games are certainties and
others will be arranged:
