L0 Gamecocks Ove By Playing Se Wins Scored Against Clemson and Charleston-Defeated By Furman and Citadel Last fall, in a football game in Orange burg, Mr. Teddy Weeks of The Citadel, kicked a field goal against Carolina fin the first half, which blow, the Game-I cocks did not accept in the manner ex pected, but came back in the second half and straightway made two touchdowns. Tuesday night in a basketball game, at the Carolina gym, the samj Mr. Weeks scored first on a goal only to ex perience again a comeback which the Citadel never headed and which onded! with Carolina k;ading by three points, 32-29. But it was a fight. One of those games in which every point means a scrap. Both the Bulldogs and the Gamecocks were determined to win-one to continue an un3roken string of victories and on( to come out of a slump that has worried it for the last few games. Roland and Oliver, who struggled steadily during three days with oak trees as weapons, fought longer but not as fierc<.y as the Gamecock and the Bulldog. The whole Carolina team battled as one man, but fairly; there being very few fouls committed by either team. Jack Wright led the scorers and exhibt. ed some spectacular dribbling and shoot ing. Bill Rogers was always in the! thick of the fight and his passing was hard and true. Seideman and Skipp(r McSwain, were the bulwark of Caroli na's crack defensive play. Lillard and Swink played consistently at center' and outjumped their opponent. Caro,. na's playing was characterizod by hard, accurate passing. Citadel also fought with might and main and their combination of Weeks, Douglas and Saunders worked sensa tionally. The versatile Weeks was the Bulldog's ace-in-the-hold and he lived up to the reputation he had already made for himself. Douglas and Samnders wer-e sure shots but were too closely guarded; to do much. The greatest crowd that has ever wit nessed a basketball game on the Caro-. lina floor was present for this battle. The walls seemed hung with spectators. And throughout the contest, they follow ed intensely. WVhen they shouted, the din was defeaninig and then at times, absorbed in the, game, they were silent: and still. SUM MARY Carolina-(32) ..

Pulling away to a 5 point lead in the finial minutes of the game after playing the Gamncks ont about equal terms throughout the first part, Furman's Pur pIe Hurricane lbasketball team won Fri dlay uight by a score of 30 to 25. The Gamecock team did ntot disp4lay the bri-lliant passing attack which made them respected in previous games. Pro bably the week of idkaiess caused by ex aminiations had much to do wvith it. Two Gamecocks stood out however, the goal shooting of Jack Wright and the reliable guarding of Silas Seideman. Their performnances of the ev<nmg were of high orde:. Galloway wvas Furman's best bet and his accurate1 passing greatly aided his team in piercinig Carolina's defense. Captain Ro.hertson lead the purple team well.

This, the Carolina basketeers proved last Tuesday night to the satisfaction of hundreds of fanls, who sdv4 them conquer the worithy Citadel crew. Before this, the Gamecocks had not been playing th( game expected of them or the kind they wanted tq play against a couple of teams. But in the Citadel contest, they opened r.p and gave all they had. They "came out of it" and regained the old Bird's prestigt in the cage world. It was a game the fans will always remember. WIlEN MR. JOSEPH HINES fired that volley from his .32 signifying that the game was over, bedlam broke loos<, The tension that held the crowd through the game was sud denly broken. Carolina shouted far ityto the night and the old chapel bell rang joyously.
