Carolina Quintet With Teams < Ganecocks Break Tarheel's Long String of Victories on Home Court BEAT STATE AND CATHOLIC Lose Games to Navy and to the Universities of Maryland and Virginia Carolina (28) ..... No. Car. (27) Carolina (24) .. N. C. State (23) Carolina (22) ... Annapolis (43) Carolina (28) .. Catholic U. (23) Carolina (22) .... Maryland (38) Carolina (14) . Virginia (36) Three games won and three games lost i-s the result of the Gamecocks' northern invasion, last week. Two of the games were won from North Carolina teams and the other| from Catholic University in Washington, the farthest point north reached by the Birds. The North Carolina game witnessed by 2,000 was the first played and the one of greatest import. The Gamecocks de feated the Tarheels oin their court for the first time this has been done in two years, but it was only after a knock down and drag out affai-r with both teams al most sweating blood in their efforts for victory. N. C. State also gave their visitors a close round but lost also by a single point margin. The worthy Joe Lillard starred. Annapolis, with her team known all over the East, found Carolina for over 40 points and took the game. They led the play throughout the encounter. A rest over Sunday did the Carolina men good and they came back on last Monday to beat Catholic University. It was a hard fought game won from a school which is consistently represented by good teams. In Maryland, the Gamecocks lost to the University, champions of the State and Virginia, by 16 points. Then the last game they were beaten by the University of Virginia, 36-14, in a rather one-sidel game. Press dispatches fron Virginia said the Gamecocks played listlessly showing the effects of fatigue caused by their trip. --U.S.c.

'OR OF ALL SORT Fred Minshall, Editor Breaks Even )n Northern Tour ETW E EN A S K E T S CAROLINA'S GAMECOCKS split ev en with some mighty good quintets on the road last week. It has been said that the way a team becomes known is to play the "big boys" and win if possible. Although the Navy won easily from-our team, the sport ing editor of the Suiday New York Times considered the game the most nimportant of the day and placed it first in his list of .asketball scores. IT IS POSSIBLE that the University of South Caroli-na athletic teams are a little more respected in North Car dlina now than they have ever been before. They have shown superior ity in all contests so far this year. The list of unbroken victories tells of football games with Tarheels. Volves and Deacons besides the two recent basketball games. BASKETBALL IS rapidly gai-ning pop ularity throughout the State. Near ly every game mentioned in the news paper carries special comment upon its large attendance. Our gymnasium with all its improvements made to handle large crowds is now packed to the -brim at all the big games. Compare the number of fais this ycar with the scattere'd attendance of two or three hundred last year. THRE, TEAMS of the Old Dominion scored .31 points each, against our co-eds who, in turn scored 15 points against three of them. V.M.I. THROUGH its weekly news or gan "The Cadet" claims to have the only gym team in the South. That is wrong. Carolina has and has had for the last three years a first-rate team, which, although it has never given exhibitions outside of the State. is very well known in this lo cality. We boast now also of a co ed gym team coached by Bill Poole. He says they can do most anything the boys do. SPRING FOOTIALL, with the period for conditioninmg passedI, began Friday upon thme return of Coacht Bocock, their steady grindl of intensive train ing. 'The track sqi-ad begins hard work the first part of next week. --U.s.c. CO-ED BASKETBALL TEAM| RETURNS FROM VIRGINIA Young Ladies Meet Some Excel lent Sextettes In The Old Dominion ' The Carolina co-edl basketball team returned Wednesday morning from their tour through Virginia, the first out of state trip ever mnade by a girl's team from the University of South Carolina.

F'armville won 24-15; Westhampton, 31-15 and Wil liam and Mary, 31--15. It is b)elieved around the campus that the co-eds have made a good showing for it is the Pullet's first venture into realms in which they meet girl teams ranking among the best. --U. s.c. Pullet. Return to Roost The Co-ed varsity basket ball team has returned from its Virginia trip. Friday, the 13th, started a bad week nf games for the girls. TS GYMNASTS ARE GETTING READY TO MAKE TRIPS GYM TEAM TAKES TO ROAD Have Many Novelties Added To The Program-Acts Done to Music With several dates for exhibitions tentatively arranged, thirty men con stituting the squad of the Carolina gym team are hard at work getting in to condition to fulfill them. They have been practicing three nights a week on the mats and apparatus since the opening of school. Abot:t ten men, Tompkins, G., Poole, McCutchen, Lynne, Summers, Cooper, Savitz. Hawkins, and McQueen have been showing up especially well in the practices but are pushed hard for their honors by several others. Trips that are being arranged for the team call for a number of perfor miances. It is understood that at about the middle of March they will begin taking week-end visits, by automobile, to towns around Columbia within a seventy-five mile radius. Towns un ler consideration so far are Orang eburg, Chester and Batesburg. A longer tour in the direction of Green ville is also planned for the spring. Challenges have been issued to simi ar teams of any college in the state to meet Carolina in Colunia. The icrobats are also trying to get in on he North Carolina state meet. The kind of program to be offered his year differs in many respects hose given previously. The perfor nance will resemble vaudeville some what, being interspersed with skits ind light features. All acts will be done to music fur iished by members of the team who :an play. It is alleged that Jim Coo >er plucks the banjo and rumored that Finklestein saws the fiddle. One of the features will be costume lances. The folk dances of the Dutch ind Scotch are the ones likely to be ,iven. The men are looking forward now o the annual awading of three medals, told, silver and bronze to the three )est all-round gymnasts on the squad. some good men are out there and the :ompetition should be keen.
