Field House Used for First Time Thurs. Largest Crowd Ever to Witness Basketball Game at Carolina -Seated Comfortably HAS "JINX" BASKET No Special Services at Opening of University's New Ath letic Building Approximately 2,000 people witnessed the basketball game between the Uni versitics of Florida and South Caro lina last night in the new Field House. Tliese figures may not be correct but it is certain that it was the largest crowd ever to attend a game at Carolina and everyone had a good seat with the view I unobstructed by any posts or supports. The six large steel girders, stretching from side to side of the great auditor imn, eliminate all view-obstructing up rights and make the building the larg e'st single span auditorium south of Washington. No special opening cerenonies were observed but Carolnia's varsity team dedicated the new building in their I own "winning way" by taking the long end of a 39 to 33 score from the Flor idians. Dr. Douglas was present V and sat on the Carolina side among a group of students. t Although the seats and the court in o the new structure are complete there ( are many more days of work to be I (lone before all plans for the building are carried out. Beneath the twelve I tiers of seats will be shower baths, club rooms, and roonis for the visiting teams c when everything now planned is ful- I filled. It is supposed that special dedi- c catory or opening exercises will be held in the new building at that time. The evenly matched. birch wood floor makes one of the finest basketball courts in the country. As the crowd was filing out, after the last basket had been rung, a gentleman in the crowd was heard to express surprise that the crowd Was allowed to walk across the floor to the entrances. Probably some rules will be made in the future that will forbid any one to go on the floor without tennis shoes on. The crowd was prohibited from walknig on tlh gridiron on Meltoi field last fall and measures similiar to that may be nee essary to keep the floor in the good Condition it is in now. Spectators at the game last n'ght were heard to advance the theory that the basket at the far end of the court had a "jinx," as neither team seemed able to ring it as easily as the other one. Then again, the ball became lod ged in the brace that supports this basket and the referee had to call time out until it could be dislodged. Several wind(ows on the Sumnter street s'deI did not have panes in them last night, and through them a horde of small boys cotuld be seen, climbing in to see the game. Later, when the ganme had started, thle dloorkeepiers allowed thenm to (come in,. a hundred or more took advantage of this. T1he building will be heated by a sepa rate p)lanit froii thle central heating uniit. Student biody meetings will be held there in the ftuture, and all large mneetinigs in Coltumbia, oif state-widle in terest, stuch as the State Teachers A'i sociation, will p)rob)ably be held in the University Field 1-ouse, which has the largest seat ig cap)acity of aniy building in Coltumbia and( possibly, the state. - u.s.c. - Co-eds Defeated by "C.C." in Basketball First Came of City League Bas ketball Association Played Yesterday Columbia College defcated thle Uni vers;ity co-edIs in the first game of the City League Basketball at Columbia College yesterdIay afternooni, the score b)eing 25 to 6.
