f-sj INKPOT.. TENEMENT football enters in a whirl and will go out in a like manner. The cold snap is keening a good many teams from entering the tour ney list and interest is not quite so high this year as it was last fall. - INKPoT - BASKETBALL will soon be the king again. Spectators at the indoor games will have the opportunity this season of witnessing them with out having to crowd in a small seat ing space. T:he new field house will be adequate to han4le everyone who cares to attend. -INKPOT BURNETT STONEY guides the des tines of the indoor Bird team. Stoney has a good rep as former freshman coach and he has very fine material on hand this winter. The Gamecocks are pointing toward the corference tournament again this season. -INKPOT LAST YEAR, Carolina stood at the head of the Southern Conference during the regular season. She won ten games and lost only one, that being to Washington and Lee by a small score. - INKPoT - CAPTAIN "HEINIE" FAIRE is in tent on making his senior year his biggest as far as basketball goes. Ihe former Episcopal high star has had a shining career on the court during his three years at Carolina. - INKPoT - BUSTER HOLCOMBE is a crack cen ter and that sews a mighty hole left by Si Seideman. That reminds us of the magnificent game Si played against Georgia Tech in the Atlanta tournament. He did what no man last year was able to do before him -he held the giant "Tiny" Hearn to a ridiculousiy small score-two points. And when Seideman left the floor, Mike Windus hopped on the great Yellow Jacket star, and only two more ppints were made by that gentleman during the remainder of the contest. Carolina won, 32 to 18. - INKPoT" MONKEY Clark is slated for service in the coming basketball session. Monk's chief fame comes from his fine work against the Vanderbilt Commodores last year. He is a fine running mate for Fair. Neither of them wfil have any time to loaf in making the team with Nolan and Lamar shoving them so closely. - INKPoT - WALTER Chandler, Greenville boy' who played regularly in~ his first varsity season last year, is showing excellent form. Chandler is a fin ished workman, in handling and shooting the spheroid. Jim Farr will surely play guard during a large part of the season. Windus can play anywhere but Stoney may put him at guard for good. - INKPoT - A NUMBER of Carolina folk braved the cold and rain to go to Atlanta last Saturday for the Tech-Georgia fray. Coach Harry Lightsey was one of the travelers angl he gives a deal of interesting sidelights on the game. - INEPoT - LIGH'IISEY gives Tech credit for win ning but claims that Georgia was handicapped - by the rain and muddy field. The wvork of the Tech lines meJ3 was the deciding factor, he says. - e Georgia hacks would start many times but were unable to obtain foot hold on the slippery field. - INKPo - He-Would you like to have a nice partner for the next dance? *SJie-Sure, bring him over. "think there is company down stair's." "Why?" I just heard mamma laugh at one of pop's jokes" PORT E. W. BALLENGER, Editor STONEY CALLS BASKET MEN TO PRACTICE Formidable Schedule Signed But as Yet Incomplete-Point to Southern Tourney Again TWO MEN ARE GRADUATED Several Letter Men Return to Court--Good Prospect on Hand for 1928 Season Coach Burnett Stoney, newly. ap pointed mentor of the University of South Carolina basketball squad, be gan drilling his men Monday afternoon in preparation for the 1928 season. Two weeks of practice remain before the Christmas holidays begin, after which the regular season will begin. Possibly one or. two exhibition games will be played during the intervening two weeks. Eighteen game are on the schedule at present and more will be added. The longest trip on tap for the team is the same virt-wally as was followed last year when the "indoor Game cocks" invaded Virginia and Maryland. Washington and Lee, Virginia Military Institute, and the University of Vir ginia are listed on the '1928 roster. If Carolina is successful enough in the current season the team will go to the Southern Conference tournament in Atlanta, which they attended last year. The Gamecocks went to the semi-finals in the Atlanta tournament. being eliminated by Vanderbilt. With the exception of two men. Capt Seideman and Bill Rogers, Ston-y has all of last season's squad to work with. Captain "Hienie" Faire, who was voted on hand to hold his regular place on an all-conference forward, last year, is the team. Monk Clark, who played outstanding ball in the tournament last March, appears to be the obvious choice for the other forward position. though he has a strong challenge in C Two $30. $ Hope -I Marvin Mitchur Nolan, Stoddard and Lamar. Buster Holcombe, a tall rangy man with an accurate goal-shooting eye will in all probability play center. Jim Farr ani Chandler, last year's guards are back. he will very likely see much servic Mike Windus is a versatile player a he will very likely see much service during the coming geason. The following men reported for the initial season practice last Monday: Clark, Faire, J. Farr, E. Farr, Windus, Nolan, Chandler, Holcombe, McElrath. Stoddard, Lamar, Rembert, Green and Cathcart. The new University field house, 'which will seat more than two thousand persons, will be used for all home games. James G.
