CAROLINA WINS SECOND MATCH WITH FLORIDA Birds Show Improvement Over Previous Night-Regain Team Work GAME IS PLAYED ROUGH Gators Play Hard But Carolina Quintet Leads-Score 47 to 40 In the prettiest game of the season Carolina walloped the Florida Gators in the second contest Tuesday night. Displaying a complete reversal of form over the previous night the Birds ral lied in the second half after being led by the Gators and turned apparent de feat into a thrilling victory, 47 to 40. Cheered on by the large crowd the Carolina quintet fought desperately and by close guarding kept the visitors from scoring less than half as many points as in the first half. The game was similar to the last game played with the North Carolina Wolf pack. two weeks ago. After being beat en by the N. C. Staters in the first game the Birds came back to smother them in the last. It was the same way with the Gators, and although they led at the end of the first half they were soon over taken and never was there any anxiety on the part of Bird supporters. In the last of the game the Florida coach sent in fresh material to try and check the birds, and in spite of their roughness, the were even less successful than be fore. The game was amusing as well as in teresting, and many times the crowd would be in an uproar as some anxious player would make a nose dive for the ball or turn a coupie of summersaults over the floor. Carolina had no individual stars. It was hard fighting with every man do ing his part and working together. The same teamwork was presented as in the N. C. State game. It was the second conference victory of the season and jf the same brand of playing is shown in later games the Birds will make some teams play hard if they win. Crabtree was the outstanding star for the visitors, and ii ever he got his hands on the ball under the basket, it was al most a suro goal. He was well assisted by Van Sickle and Perrine. Chandler was again the same con sistent player as the night before and his long shots kept the Birds on the run throughout the game. He was high scorer with 16 points. Buster Hol combe came next with 15. He also did some nice work and it seemed that his shots always came at the time to either b)reak a tie or put the Gamecocks ahead. Eddlie Pritchardl played the last half and his excellent guarding kept down. the score of the Gators. Monk Clarke also did some nice floor wvork and play ed a big part in the victory. Captain Fair played a steadly game, one of his best this season. Many- fouis wvere called on the Florida team due to roughness. Perrine was ejected from the game dtue to fouls and Walker was also ejected for roughness. Carolina tackles another con ference team wvhen they play the Clemran Tigers at Clemson College tonight. The Tigers have beeni playing since dutring the Christmas holidays and should give the Birds plenty of trouble. Furman will be playedc tomorrow and then the Birds return borne for a game wvith the Citadel Monday night.

The first conference game went to the Duke Blue Devils and the Gamecocks broke even on the North Carolina State and Florida two-game series. -INKPOT THE CAROLINA players iack the old time punch. They pass wildly, cov er the floor in an uncoordinqted fashion and shoot indifferently. The team appears to lack confidence. They have shown improvement in the last week however and should be again in their stride before many days have passed. - INKPOT - JACK ALLISON unleashed his pugilis tic warriors last against the Clem son Tiger team.

The visitors presented a smooth working team that plyed consistently throughout the game, and after the first few minutes of play ing the outcome was easily discernable. Each man played well but team work was lacking, and as a result the Gators were able to keep the Gamecocks from ever getting near the basket. Fjorida took the lead but was soon overtaken by the Birds who held it for the next twelve minutes. The Gators soon started some nice floorwork, and as the Birds slowed up, they were never able to even make the score close. The game was the first after exami nations and considering the lack of practice, the Birds did exceptionally well, and even at worst the exhibition was better than all previous ones with the exception of the last N. C. State contest. Chandler and Clark played the best gam for the Birds. Time after time Chandler would break up passes and dribbling, and rush down the floor only to loose the ball because nobody would he in position to receive it. Clark made some pretty shots and played a good game generally. Mike Windus did some nice work in the last part of the game, being the only man to score in the last :en minutes of play. Perrine was the star for the Gators. The center was always on the alert, and scored nearly all the points in the first half. Van Sickle, Vegue and Cra! tree played Well in the last half, and it was this combination that completely checked the Birds and carried the Ga ttors to an easy victory. Part of the game was very colorful and the Gamecocks exhibited some real basketball, but th's was only in spurts and the Gators would soon have coni land of the situation again. In the last few minute! Mike Windus pepped tip the game and scored five points by him self, but the guti sounded with the Birds trailing the Gators by a margin of ten points. --use--.
