BIRDS YA
Citadel Loses
To Gamecocks
In Good Game
REVENGES LATE DEFEAT
Seideman and Wise Play Well
Carolina Defense Proves
Very Stiff
The Gamecock was waiting with his
spurs sharpened for the Citadel Bull
Dog last night and once the conflict
began the Bird immediately began to
inflict mortal wounds in the Bull Dog's
hide. In the Bird's breast rankled the
memory of a defeat suffered at the
hands of the same Bull Dog and re
venge was sweet. The Bull Dogs were
held at bay during the entire night by
the brilliant work of the Garnet and
Black defense and the Cadet's defence
was unable to stop the dazzling attack
of the Bird's forwards.
Doped to lose by a large margin the
Gamecocks rose to the heights of glory
by coming out of a slump and playing
the brand of basketball that is bound
to win against anybody. "Si" Seide
man, brawny guard, was the individual
star of the fray. Time and time again
he caught the ball on the rebound from
the backboard after one of the desper
ate long shots attempted by the Cita
del forwards. He kept the ball away
from his goal and did his share towards
starting it back towards the Citadel
basket. Buster Wise, given his first
real chance this year, shone by drop
ping in many baskets from the floor
and added a nice sum by his foul
shooting. Bill Rogers was the Bill of
old, tricky with the ball and sure of
his shots. Holcombe also played a
peach of a game until forced out on
fouls.
Weeks and Douglas were all that
advance dope predicted them to be
but no forward could get by the bril
liant defense put up by the Gamecocks
last night. The worked together in
perfect unison and startled the fans
from time to time by their spectacular
shots from a long distance. Weinburg
and Reeder also played well for the
Citadel. Reeder's floor work being
especially good. It was just a matter
of too much defense for the Citadel
to display any real ability at ringing up
baskets. The Carolina quint devoted
the greater part of its time to watching
the Citadel forwards and slipping down
the floor whenever the opportunity
afforded itself to ring up a basket.
The game opened up when Weeks
caged a beauty from mid-floor and was
followed by a foul shot by Douglas.
Rogers got a pretty one and then the
Citadel quint added one miore by the
foul route. A pretty shot from mid
floor made the count four all. From
then on the Gamecocks drew ahead
until at the end of the first half they
held a six point lead, the score being
12 to 6. The Citadel returned to the
game in the second half wvith a vim and
soon had cut down the Gamecock's
lead to one point but Holcomb)e jumped
into the limelight by rushing up sev
eral and with this the Carolina dlefense
tightened down hard. When the pis
tol shot ended the game the Garnet
and Black had a total of 28 points
against 20 for the Citadel.
The Birds seemed to have recovered
from the slump suffered in the Clem
son game 19. night. They had team
work down to the last letter. Tonight
the Florida Alligators will be engaged
in batjtle. It is not known what
strengh they possess but the team
from the Land of Flowers usually
manages to give its opponents a great
battle.

THE TIGER AWOKE from a cub in
the second half of his game with F
the Gamecock Tuesday much to
the Gamecock's dismay and chalk- R
ed up a win.
THE GAMECOCKS couldn't keep up
the terrific pace they set in the
first stanza but the Tigers seemed
to have caught their second wind .o

rHE CITADEL FELL before the of
Gamecocks fury last night, how- bu
ever. It was sweet revenge for the cc
defeat of the Birds in Charleston T1
by the Bull Dogs. g
A PERFECT DEFENSE and a daz- ha
zling attack was too much for the *a
Citadel quint to withstand. The le
Birds worked in perfect coordinat- ar
ion the whole game and over- m
whelmed the Bull Dogs. ie;
se
THE CITADEL gathered only six
points in the first half, which am- th
ply demonstrates the superiority ha
of the Birds. The far famed be
Weeks and Douglas were unable in
to penetrate the Gamecock de- fir
fense sufficiently to become dan- to
gerous at any time during the gu
night. of
W(
;EIDEMAN WAS THE outstanding ca
star in the Gamecock firmanent last
night. The big fellow defended his
basket successfully the whole sa
night and he carried the ball down of
the floor in great style whenever v
the opportunity afforded itself. th
F
ELORIDA COMES to play the Game
cocks tonight. The Alligators are C:
reputed to have a strong team this Ie
year. They lost to Mercer by a B
small margin and also met defeat C
at the hands of Georgia. T
w
WHICH DOES NOT detract from G
their prestige at all as both of the In
above named teams are top-notch
ers in the art of leather tossing.
Georgia also downed the Game- dr
cock quint so the teams should be s
fairly evenly matched. w
3EORGIA TE' H plays a return en- -fc
gagement in Columbia tomorrow w
night. The Yellow Jackets were di
beaten by the Birds in Atlanta a c
couple of weeks ago. They are fr
counting on gaining revenge for ti
that defeat so it wvill be well worth tU
ones time to be a spectator at this w
battle. a
[PHIS GAME WILL end a busy week b:
for the Gamecocks. Four games it
in one week is no easy matter for ec
a team that has been forced to
discontinue practrice on account st
of examinations. g
['RACK MEN ARE blossoming forth
again under the capable direction a
of "Rooster" McFadden. "Roost
er" can be counted upon to bringC
out everything the men have in B
them so one may put it down that N
Carolina will have a good track lR
team this year.
['HE BIDDIES are winning right and
left in the upper part of the state. p
Wednesday night they took the y
Clemson Cubs into camp and last S,
night it was the Furman "frosh" r
who fell. Coach Stoney has
moulded a good team that will be
well up in the running for the
state title this year.

For Clemson
The Clemson Tigers found to their
y that a bad start is a good ending
;t Tuesday night at the gym. For
one would deny that the g9ine'gdt
E to a bad start for the Jungaleers,
it the ending was a horse of another
for, as the Gamecocks soon realized.
te Birds took the lead early in the
me and seemed to have the game
11 in hand at the end of the first
if but Clemson injected new life into
game that was rapidly becoming list
;s by overcoming a ten point lead
d winning the game in the last few
nutes of play by some of the flash
,t shooting in the hoop that has been
en here this year.
The Gamecocks seemed to grow just
e least bit overconfident after they
d anabsed a respectable lead and
fore they woke up the Tigers were
the lead. The Tigers, who in the
st half seemed totally blind, began
find the basket with a sickening re
larity and in the last few minutes
play it was the Gamecocks who
re trailing and who were unable to
ge the wicker.
The game began when Bill Rogers
nk a beautiful shot from the side
the court and Holcombe followed
th a foul. Newman got one and
en Brock tied it up with a foul point.
)r the first few minutes the teams
,ttled on even terms and then the
trolina quint began to draw into the
ad. When the first half ended the
irds were holding a ten point lead.
)ming back in the second half the
gers opened up an offensive that
as dormant in the first half. The
amecocks just couldn't get to-gether.
a short while the ten point lead was
most gone and with the score stand
g at 28-27 Fskew, Clemson forward,
ibbled down the floor and sank a
owbird to give the Tigers the lead,
hich they never relinquished.
Bill Rogers played a beautiful game
r the Birds in the first half but he
as guarded' closely in the second and
d not get away but seldom. Rogers
ged all of his points in the first half
om a good distance but stopped in
e second half and tried to pass down
rough the Clemson defense which
as too tight to allow it. Seideman
so played a nice game at guard, he
~ing a tower of strenght around his
Lsket. Buster Holconmbe again led
the'scoring from the floor and play
a fair game besides.
For the Tigers, Roy was the bright
ar at center. He got the tip-off the
cater part of the time and had a
adly eye for the basket. Newman
id Palmer also performed well.
