GAMECOC Team Hits Stride and Presbyterians Topple FINAL SCORE IS 64 TO 21 Bocock Starts New Line-up Buster Holcombe Is Again High Scorer P. C. is the third victim. The Blue Stockings were smothered Wednesday night, 64 to -1. The Gamecock sharp shooters were unable to miss a goal, wh' le the Presbyterians could not get the correct range of the wicker. Carolina made a most excellent showing. The team exhibited more finish, and played much better than in the first two settos with Clemson. Bocock sent his second team in to start. Walter Johnson did likewise. Chandler flipped a goal, one minute after the opening whistle. A moment later, Captain Moffatt retaliated. Then the fireworks began. Passing and shooting with a bril liancy that startled the spectators, the Carolina five ran up a 21 to 4 score in a very few minutes. Billy Lamar, Clark, Chandler, and "Bus" Wise daz zled the Blue Stocking quintet. The score boy was kept busy chalking the counters. At this stage, the Carolina mentor sent in another complete five. Coach Johnson lost no time in putting an entirely new Presbyterian team on the floor. The score changed, but it remained heavily in the Universities favor. Char ley Wilson, of P.C., put up a beautiful dribbling exhibition. He passed to Jimmie Stamps at every opportunity, but the dark-haired star seemed to have lost his shooting eye." "Buster" Holcombe, for the third straight game, was high scorer. Sev enteen points went down to him. Fair played an excellent game. The fracas was almost a fight. The referee was lenient, and the affair resembled a rough and tumble foot ball battle. Despite this, there were no displays of ill-feeling on the part of either side.

K FIVE SM Dribblets BASKETBALL has perked up since the sparkling victory over P. C. The Carolina five is beginning to show real form. It wouldn't be surprising if the court toga does not rest in Columbia during the year of 1927. * * * "MONK" CLARK is one of the out standing bidders for one of the forward positions. He put up a mighty nifty exhibition in the game with P.C. * * * MEMBERS OF the Tenement 23, Championship football team, are in grave danger of taking colds. It is a big temptation to hold their coats open, and show those brand new footballs which were passed out to them Thursday at chapel. * * * CAPTAIN Seideman doesn't seem to be bothered with his " game leg." "Si" is the cynosure of every me lee. * * * BILLi1 ROGERS hasn't had much op portunity to demonstrate his dead ly accuracy at ringing baskets so far. Bill is starring for his third straight year on the varsity. * * * BUSTER Holcombe's playing is the talk of the town. The lanky Char lestonian is go'ng to show every body something this year. * *. * 'I'RACK IS a coming sport at Caro lina. "Rooster" McFadden has sounded the call for volunteers. and '24 varsity men have reported for practice. -- U.s.c. - LIGHTSEY WILL ASSIST BOCOCK NEXT SEASON Former Coach and Teacher at Columbia High Returns to Alma Mater BECOMES LINE COACH Played Tackle for Three Years at Carolina-Graduate of Law School Harry Lightsey is coming to Caro lina. During the holdays he put his "John Hancock" on the (lotted line, and will report for spring football practice. He is to have charge of the varsity line. For sonie time there has been .alk of his leaving Columbia li and return'ng to his Alma Mater. 'The. University is esp.ecially fortunate is being able to secure such an excep tionally able man. L.ightsey played tackle for three y'ears at Carolina. He graduated from lie law school in 1923, and took up he job of coaching at Columbia Hi. in add'ltion to being a teacher of com meircial lawv. His success as a high school coach is nothing short of phe Tn 1923. Lightsey's team wvon the lower state championship, but was de - feated by Thornwvell Orphanage in the state titular contest. For the next three years his team w~as not beaten by any state team and has won the championship every season. In 1924, Columb'a met Tech High of Atlanta in wvhat was presumably a game for highest southern gridiron honors. Af ter a desperate battle, the South Car olinians were vanquished, 12 to 6. The new coach is a member of the state legislature, and is associated with the law firm of Lightsey and Wingate. -- u.s.c. - Block C Club Will Meet on Wednesday There will be a meeting of the Block C climb in Davis college Wednesday night. January 19th, for the purpose of initiating the new members who mlade their letters for the first time durinig the past football season. All Block C men are urged to be present as the constitution will be [OTHERS B ALL-TENEMENT TEAM CHOSEN FROM PLA YERS Varsity Men and Coaches Offer Suggestions in Placing Mythical Eleven CULP MADE CAPTAIN Burns Unanimous Choice for Fullback-Clark and Gross Make Backfield The tenement football season has been very successful this year from the standpoint of the number of men en gaged in playing and also from the spectator's standpoint. We are offering for your approval, an all-tenement team, picked by men that officiated at most of the games. Advice and opinions have been re ceived from several of the various coaches and from several of the var sity players. Of course there will be many persons who will disagree with the choices but there are only places for twenty-two men, thus making it necessary to throw out and eliminate many other capable men. For the ends, Johnson and Foy re ceive the first choice and Pate and Hawkins, the second choice. All of these men are excellent defensive men but Johnson and Foy stand out on the offense for their ability to box tackles. Johnson is a very valuable man to have around as he has an unca+my ability to diagnose the opponent's play. Saw yer, the plucky little end from tene ment 23, and Sox and Shuler are wor thy of mention. At tackles, Culp and Mayfield are placed on the first team, and Thomas and Gallman, on the second. Culp and Mayfield are big powerful men, and know how to use their hands well on the defense. Mayfield is the only op posing tackle that succeeded during the season in stopping Burns to any extent. Huckabee and Floyd, receive the call at guard, with Folk and Vanve as sec ond string. Huckabee has been a pow er in the line throughout the series. Floyd played center, but his defensive work was of such high calibre that a place had to be made for him in the line. At center our choice is Heath and Glen. Heath is the man who de manded the "fake penalty" which per nitted Nolan to carry the ball to the opposition's one yard line on a long run. The one outstanding man for the team's (quarter back position is Clark. In every game he ran is plays in a manner that would even be worthy of 1ill Rogers. He can carry tile ball, plunt and pass. As unlderstudy for Clark. Nolan is presentedl. Nolan is a stumrdy, stocky fellowv capable of giving any team a lot of trouble. Baker comles in for hlonorab)le menCItionl. For full-back, Burns is the unani mous11 chmoice. Th'lis boy has rippedl the opiposing line to pieces ill every game. It wvas lhe who ran wild against tile town teaml andl contributed materially to their (defeat. Wymlan gets tIhe call for second string. Gross and Chandler receive tile two hlalf-back positions. Boeth of these me-C' punIt, pass anld run to perfection. Gross is esp)ecially good at taking out ends. \s uinderstudies we submit Drake andl lhpps. Othmer half-backs worthy of men tionl are Kinder, Hardy, Godshaill, Mimns, Milling, and Whlisonlant. CuIp is nominated to captain tIle firs; team. CuIp is a man who inspires fight inl any team, andl sets his men a high example to follow-a true leader. Nolan b)ecause of his dash and headwork is selected to captain the second team.

By winning this game, the I'Iornwell eleven won the first inter enement championship in the history )f the University. By virtue of a 27 to 0 v'ctory over lie strong town team Tuesday, Tene nent 23 entered the contest as heavy .avorite. But the first few minutes ooked like a different story. Thorn vell received and Johnston ran to the 10-yard line. Burns failed at center. \ pass flew wild. Godshall punted m(d the ball dropped outside on the 0-yard line. The Rutledge eleven stormed the l'hornwell defense with a barrage of )asses. A first down was made. Dud ey tried a running pass to Drake.
