BIRDS S Carolina Wins Scrappy Bout From Maroons HOLCOMBE -- FARR STARS Game Hard Fought Though One Sided-Very Rough-Re sembles Football The Gamecocks rode on the crest of the wave of victory again last night. taking the College of Charleston into camp by a 37 to 20 score. The gani was one of the roughest of the year. Many times did the players hump the floor during the night and several men were put out of the game on accou-n1 of fouls. The game was hard fought throughout both sides keeping up a terrific pace. The Gamecocks showed their superiority in the indoor game clearly, though. The College, led by Fritz Von Kol nitz, had a well coached team that knew the game and were snapping at the Bird's heels most of the time. The Gamecocks were in a winning mood. though and were not to be denied. Bo cock's men kept up that very good habit of playing together. Buster Holcombe led the field in scoring, he dropping the leather through for the sum of thirteen points. Buster seemed determined to show off to a good advantage against his fellow townsmen and indeed he (lid it well. His floor game was better than unual, and he got more than his share of tip offs. Farr started his first game of th' season and played well. He and Fair worked well together. Fair had his eye on the basket once again and cage-l several beauties. Rogers was in the ' limelight again last night by reason of his stellar playing. One shot that was of the spectacular variety was made by Holcombe when he spun th ball through with one hand from th' extreme corner of the court. For the Maroons, Seabeck and Tay lor were the aces. Taylor kept the ( ball traveling in the direction of the Garnet and Black goal every time he got anywhere near it and got several pretty shots also. Seaheck was high scorer for the Maroons and he and Taylor worked well together. Mauro showed flashes of brilliancy but was for the most part too slow to stop the Gamecock forwards. Carolina took the lead at the open ing of the game by virtue of a field goal and got another point by a foul shot. The College got a goal and ' Carolina rang up several in rapi(l suc cession. The first half ended with Carolina leading 19 to 10. The secondl S half increasedl in roughness with the scoring about the same. The final score was 37 to 20.

E~ach class is divided into squads in order to make the work moret easy with a small amount of equip- t entn. ITILL Fl Seen Between Baskets IORIDA FELL before the Game cock's onslaught Friday night. The 'Gators followed the route taken by the Citadel as they were not able to penetrate the Bird's de fense or stop their forwards. ['HE ALLIGATORS COULD not ap preciate the value of passing as they can real estate. They tried many desperate shots from all angles and parts of the floor. ['HE BIRD'S DEFENSE was respon sible for this to a great extent, though. Bocock has given his men a five man defense that connot be penetrated successfully, it seems. ['HE YELLOW JACKETS from Georgia Tech also bit the dust Saturday night making it two victories over the worthies from Atlanta this year for the Game cock's. 'ECH COULD NOT stop the Game cock machine, either. It seemed as though the 'Clemson victory early last week aroused the Bird's ire for they have been mowing down their opponents ruthlessly ever since. ,AST W,EK W.\S a successful one for the Gamecocks as Citadel, Florida. and Tech were defeated and Clemson 'was the only team coming to Columbia during that time that could claim victory over the Garnet and Black. VHICH IS A good record for any team. To win three games out of four against such opponents as the above named were is a feat for any team to be proud of. 'HE BIDDIES KEPT up the reputat ion of the Garnet and Black by winning every game on their road trip. These victories came over Furman, Clemson, and P. C. Then Monday night the "frosh" took the Newberry freshman into camp by a good margin. OACH STONEY seems to have his men headed for the state title this year and nothing else will satisfy him. le has welded a smooth run ning machine out of his material that is a terror to any bunch of freshmen in this state. -USC AMECOCK FIVE DOWNS FLORIDA IN ROUGH GAME OGERS PLAYS BASEBALL eideman and Holcombe Star for Birds-Serra and Brown Shine for Visitors Th'le Gamecocks continued their tarch to victory Friday night by over oming the University of Florida in a ast andl exciting game. TIhe Birds took lie leadl at the opening of the game nd( held it the whole night altho the ffects of the Citadel was shown by heir p)lay in the second half for the ulligators outscored the Garnet and Ilack in the last stanza. Florida had goodl team but the perfect (defense f the Birds and the dlazzling attack f the Gamecock forwards, especially a the first half proved too much for Bill Rogers was the outstanding star f the night. He played a floor game hat left nothing to be dlesiredl and his hooting was deadly. Bill handled the ather ar; though it wvere a baseball nd his bullet like passes reminded one f the gridiron. Seideman was again ne of the bright lights of the game or the Gamecocks. "Si" performed obly under his basket and showed ome pretty floor work. Holcombe's hooting was good enough to keep the samecocks out in front. He also gave he Florida center a bad time for the p-off. Holccmbe is one of the best he 'Gators to withstand. .Y HIGH Tech Jackets Conquered by Bird's Attack GAMECOCKS PLAY WELL Golden Tornado No Match In Great Cage Gams Last Satrurday Night The Yellow Jackets of Tech came out of Atlanta last Saturday night with the avowed purpose of gaining revenge on the Carolina Birds for a loss suf fered in Atlanta at the hands of those feathered creatures a few weeks back but the best they could take away with them was the short end of a 36 to 18 score. It was just a case of too much class in the Garnet and Black play for the Golden Tornado to cope with. The Birds showed their intent ion to win that basketball game from the very beginning and they never let up except for a few minutes sufficient ly to give Tech any hope during the entire night. Jumping into the lead at the out set, the Yellow Jackets appeared to be "long gone" for about a minute but the Gamecocks soon righted matters by several beautiful shots and from then on it was all Carolina. Bill Rog ers, Seideman and Fair were perhaps the brightest stars for the Gamecocks but Holcombe, Russonmano, and Swink were not anywhere behind them in the matter of honors. The Gamecocks functioned as a machine, each man do ing his part and doing it well. The great Wycoff came with the Yellow Jackets and proved that he was something else besides a football player. He sank a couple of nice shots and played a good floor game besides. Wilder and Wilde were about the best for the Jackets in the matter of scor img. Tech took the lead in the first few seconds of play but was tied and pass ed by the Birds. Just before the end of the first half the Birds were leading by some six or eight points but Tech, with a mighty spurt, came up within two points of the Gamecocks, the half ending 14 to 12. Carolina got a foul shot to open the second stanza and Tech tied up the game with a basket and foul shot. The Gamecocks soon put on a scoring frenzy that left Tech far behind and had the game on ice before much more time had passed. -USC Carolina Has Track Schedule Arranged Three Duel meets- State Conference Contests in early Spring The University has this year ar ranged the most perfect track schedule ever attemptedl.
