BASKETEERS TO BEGIN WORK ON NEXT MONDAY Coach 'Bocock in St. Petersburg for Meeting of Southern Conference Coaches SEIDEMAN IS CAPTAIN Gamecocks Have Excellent Pros pect for a Good Five This Year 'Regu;ar basketball practice will begin on .\onday, December 6th,"Coach Bo cock announces. He is in St. Peters burg, Fla., this week for a meeting of the Southern Conference coaches and officials! Most of the players have been work ing out since the football season closed. It won't be long now until the 'king of winter sports' holds sway again. The basket game has come to the fore in the last few years, aild it is rarely that the gymnasium is not 'Racked to its capacity for a varsity contest. The thrill of the hug shot in the last minute of play is almost as popular as the long run for a touchdown. 'Si' Seideman is captain of the varsity this season, but it is not known whether lie will be in shape to play or not, as the injured knee he received in the F r skine game is still troubling him. 'Si' played running guard last year, and his prowess at defending a goal has been sung many times before. If lie is able to participate this time he will in all probability be shifted to play stationary guard. Bill Rogers is Carolina's best all-round bet on the basketball boor. He is one of the best in the state. Rogers is the cog about which the rest of the five work. Last year lie played forward, but if Bo.. cock can develkll two forwards from the four men who are outstanding candi dates. Rog.: will play a rinming guard. The forwards are to be picked from the following men: Fair, Clark, Wise and Nolan. The first three mentioned were on the varsity squad last season. Nolan is the former Parker High School star, who made such a good record in Fresh man circles last year. Jim Farr did mighty nice work in the Furman game, and he will have a good chance to play guard in some games at least. Chandler, captain of the 1926 Biddie quintet offers a threat for a place on the team. Keels and Vogel are also candidates. The Gamecocks are slated to put as good a team on the boor this season as they did last year. The victory over Ga. Tech in Atlanta was a big boost to the team's reputation. The only games scheduled so far are those on the Vir ginia trip which is to take place early in February. A complete schedule is to be prirted after the Southern Con ference meet'ng. as Mr. Driver expects to get a nelwr of games then. -- U.S.C. - Cuttino Is Winner in Fencing Club Match Several Matches Necessary to Decide Best Man in Recent Tournament C. L. Cuttino was the wvinner of the recent tournament conducted bv the Carolina Fencing Club. which came to an end Friday night. After the tourna mient had proceedled through several matches, those remaiing in the run ning Friday morning were: D. H. Eargle, C. L. Cuttino, D)avid Finkle stien, andl Douglas Jeter. Friday morning the Cuttino-Eargle. fight ended five to one, in favor of Cuttino. That afternoon Cut tino dcitated Jeter and won the finals from Finklestien Friday night, five to two. This gave Cuttino the club champion ship. The winner had been extendled to the utmost to win over Griffin earl. ier in the tournament. Though the winner has the option of fighting the last years' wvinner, W. R. Reese, for the championship, it is understood that he will not do0 so. There will probably be an exibition match later in the year. Trhe fenc'ng class at the gynm is now fully equipt with the very best equin nment, and it is anxious that those in the school interested in the sport, try out for the team. The University champ ionship, which will decide the personel of the varsity, will be held immed'ately before the semester mexaa The Gridiron Inkpot THE FIRST ROUND of the intr mural football tournament is his ory.
