GAMECOCI First Contest With Florida Won by Birds BY SCORE OF 39 TO 33 Bill Rogers, "Monk" Clark, and Fair Play Superb Game Outplayed during the first half, Ca rolina came back in the last period of the game with the University of Flor ida last night, and out-passed and out shot the 'Gators to win, 39 to 33. The Gamecocks ran up an early lead, but were unable to hold it. The new field house floor seemed to be to their disadvantage, as the Garnet and Black clad men could not follow the move ments of the light Florida players over the large court. Captain "Red" Smith, and Walker rang goals far to frequent ly for the comfort of the large partisan crowd which attempted to fill the spac ious amphitheatre. Birds Turn Tide The half ended, Florida leading, 18 to 13. As the second half opened, the Gamecock five pulled one of the pret tiest and most complete rallies that has been seen on a Carolina Court in many, a day. "Hienie" Fair slipped in a field goal while the 'Gator players weren't looking, and later tied the score at 18 all with a foul goal. Walker and Kiercope tallied once each and Florida creeped ahead once more to a four point advantange. The Gamecocks appeared to be slowing up their offens!ve again. Then Fair got another, and Bill Rogers caused the crowd go into ecstasies with a finely directed shot which whistled through the net without touching the hoop and put the palmetto state team on a par with the Floridians once more. Ten seconds had hardly gone when the re doubtable Bill shot the goal which broke a knot which was never to be tied again in that game. The passing machine of the Game cocks was in perfect working order, and Rogers, Fair, Clark, and White manip ulated the sphere under the baskets well. Clark rang two field goals in succession, and shot a foul,, adding five points to Carolina's score. Jii Farr, who assisted materially in the rally, time after time dribbled down the cen ter of the court through the Florida players and either shot or passed to one of his teamn mates near the side lines. Out in front by a rather safe margin, the Gamecocks let up slightly toward the finish and the 'Gators took every opportunity to increase their score column. But the lead was too grel and the game enided in Carolina's favor. Tt was a mtuch hetter game than had been exp)ected. In Smith and Kiercofe, Florida has two really fine players.
