CAGE ART Schedule For Frosh Games Is Announced NOW IN ROUTINE PRACTICE Forty Men on Squad-More Ex pected Out-Uniforms Have Come With the greater part of their games scheduled, the freshmen basketball squad resumes practice this week after the Christmas holidays had called a two-week's rest from the labors of the court. Coach Burnett Stoney has his men well into routine practice. Wednesday training was begun on defensive work, and the players are now being given offensive instructions. The squad is getting its first taste of college basketball, and is being coached in fundementals that will be continued tirough the season. Prior to the holi days, especial attention was given to developing individual offensive. Thurs day night the men signed the training pledge. No cuts have been made in the squad, and there are about 40 candidates try ing out. A complete list was given in the last issue of the Gamecock. No cuts will be made and Coach Stoney says that he wants to see more men come out. According to coach there are many good men who could possi bly land berths if they same out for the practices. Workouts are being held in the gym, alternating after noon and evening with the varsity. Freshmen uniforms are of the same pattern as those of last year. The suits are white with garnet and black trim ming on the trunks, and black numer als on the jerseys. According to an incomplete schedule obtained from Coach Stoney. the fresh man cage season opens here with par ker high of Greenville furnishing the opposition. Another team from the textile center, the Furman frosh. will be seen here in January. An upstate trip will be made Feb ruary 10. 11, and 12: three opponents will he met. Furman, Clemson, and either P. C. or Parker high will be in cluded in the Biddie's northern itiner ary. Wofford, having no freshman team. will not be scheduled. The annual trip to Charleston will probably be made February 19 when the Citadel Bull pups will be tackled. Either the College of Charleston or Charleston high will be met on this trip. Dates for games here with Clemson and Furman are being arranged. Two games vill be scheduled with New berry, a separate trip being made to play the Lutherans. While no steps have been taken, the City League may be reinauguarated this year. DRIVER AND STONEY GO TO ASSOCIATION During the holidays James G. Driver, Director of Student Activities and Burnett Stoney, Freshman Coach, at tendled the annual meeting of the American Association of Football Coaches and of the National Collegi ate Association. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss affairs in con nection with college athletics. Mr. D)river stated the association was pleased with the conditions of college athletics at present, and no radical changes were recommended to the rules , committee. The association however, is strongly opposed to the over-emphasis of athletics in college in such a manner as to interfere with acadlemic work and quite a bit of time w as devoted to the discussion of this matter. The association also wvent on record as being opposedl to profession alism. Such speakers as Grantland Rice, Major Cavanough, Major Grif fith, and Major Moore were on the program at the banquet held at the Pennsylvan'a Hotel. Robert Zuppke of Illinois was president of the associat ion and Gil Doble of Cornell was ISTS RESU Seen Between Baskets (By "Cee" King) THE GAMECOCKS OPEN their of ficial season with the Blue Dev ils from Duke here Monday night. The millionaires are said to have a good team, but no gamecock has ever been afraid of a devil as yet. It will be the first appearance of the Birds and an overflow crowd is expected. - THE STATE TITLE is in that Garnet and Black bird's eye this year and he expects to do some vicious claw ing and scratching for it. Some of the best material in South Caro lina is working out at the Univer sity gym so other teams had better sit up and take notice. A JAUNT INTO GEORGIA features the Carolina schedule for the first of the week after next. Tech and Georgia will be met and all revenge is expected to be gathered in by the Gamecocks for football vic tories by the Georgians over Pal metto teams during the past sea son. SOME GOOD TEAMS will visit Col umbia this year, according to the schedule. Florida, Tech, Citadel, Furman, and Clemson may always be depended upon to give lusty battle to their opponents. Our good friend, Mr. Public, will in deed get an eyeful of good basket ball this year if he so chooses. NOT MUCH DOPE concerning the other state teams has as yet found its way into the newspapers col uwnns but one may rest assured that they are all working hard to begin the season in an auspicious manner. Last year was a banner year for South Carolina in basket ball and this year is expected to be even better. One forward in South Carolina last year scored as many points in one game as Princeton's star forward scored during the whole tournament held up there.. t WHICH MEANS THAT the basket- 1 ball teams of this state can suc- a cessfully compete with the so called "big" teams on even terms y if the schedule makers around a these parts will see the light and . atct accordlingly. It would be a great thing for Carolina if the basketball team could take a trip north andl return with a string of a scalps gathered from some of the "Big Three" and a few others up that way. g( THE BIDD)IES ARE BUSY also. Under Burnett Stoney they aret making rapid headwvay. Promising ( material has showed up for prac- v tice andi the Biddies are expecting s to cause a great dleal of trouble ( for any "frosh" team that happens r to have aspirations for a chain- r pionship this year. STONEY HAS a good record as coach in 1both basketb)all andl foot- .1 ball and so no one need worry as J to whether the Biddlies are in cap- J able hands or not. Last year unw- J til injuries hit his squad his team J was sweeping everything before it. J So you may put it down that his team will be in there fighting hard I from start to finish this year.I TRACK WILL BE heard from in just a short while. The men who wear I spiked shoes are beginning light wvork nowv in order to be ready for I the meets that are looming up in the near future. Carolina has ] some good men on hand to (10 the work so we are expecting some VIE WORK Varsity -Squad Starts Grind Prospects Fine MANY OLD PLAYERS BACK season Opens With Duke Monday Night-Make Georgia Trip Soon After a two weeks rest the basket )all squad has settled down to the grind of another season. The pros >ects for a successful season are ex :eedingly bright at this time. Among he old men who are back this year re Bill Rogers, Swink, Siedeman, Wise and Lillard. From last years Riddie squad will be found Holcombe, Farr, Fair, Swink, R. Brewer, Lamar mnd Riggins. It is practically certain that the lashy Bill Rogers will be at running guard again. Last year Rogers was he outstanding man at that position n this state. He was picked on sev !ral of the mythical all state teams and vas given all Southern mention. Rog ,rs is a deadly shot, especially from a listance and his floor work is beauti ul. Then Holcombe, who comes from basketball town, namely Charleston, vill be at one of the forwards. Hol ombe can ring the basket from nearly ny angle of the floor. His eyes will c a terror to the very best opposing lefenses for he is at his best on long hots. Holcombe was the mainspring n the freshman machine last year and vill play an important part this year n the varsity. Other Stars At the other forward will probably e wise or Fair. Wise is a veteran layer and can be depended upon to ome through in good style. Fair makes is debut as a varsity player this year. Ie is death on short shots and is a ood floor man. Joe Lillard who is aptain of the team, will probably be laced at center. Siedeman, who was ne of the outstanding guards in these arts last year, will be back at his old ost of standing gaurd. He is a hard ian to get by and he ably defends his oal against the best 5orwards that ome against him. "Si" is a hard ghter and has won recognition from he sport writers of the South by his bility. The two Swink brothers will ave to be counted in the running, lso. M. Swink is is a member of last cars varsity squad. Farr, Brewer, ,amar, and Riggins are all good men nd will give battle to the last for laces on the team. Season Promising With such material on hand no rea an can be perceived why Carolina hould not come out well toward the >p of the heap this year. The season penfs with Duke University on Mon ay night. After that the Gamecocks o not p)lay here until February 26, as icy hit the road next Friday for a vo-dlay trip to Charleston, where the harleston College and The Citadel 'ill be played. I4eaving Charleston the quad goes direct to Athens, Ga., where ~eorgia will be played.
