FURMAN BREEZE TOO RAPID FOR UNIV. QUINTET CAROLINA CLOSES 40 TO 22 Hurricane Seeks Revenge For Early Defeat-Burts Furman Star The Gamecocks lost the final game of the season to Furman's Purple Hur ricane Thursday night, 40-2. The Birds could nev get going with any degree. o ency, though occas i ashes f brilliant playing were shown. Fu tarted out with a bang, never to let p until the final gun. Rembert made. a fou shot after 11 minutes. of playing to give Carolina their first tally, Furman having hung up 19 points The Wind scored first when Burts, captain, cashed in with a field goal. Ranich helped the cause with a free shot. From then on Furman shot goals with seeming case, dropping them in from all positions on the court. Bird hopes for victory went a-glim mering whe.n Furman amassed an amazing total of 21 points to Carolina's 1. At this stage the Birds woke up, but it was useless to try to check that raging Hurricane. The Gamecocks were off color, and what a pity that they had to meet Furman when this team was at top form. The Wind broke the Bird defense. to shreds with beautiful teamwork on the part of all five players Coach Norman tried numerous sub stitutions in an attempt to find the right combinatuion for victory. He threw not less than seven men into the gaps that Furman was continually making larger. The score stood at the half 27-6. The last half saw the Birds put up a valiant but vain attempt for a come back. In this period Carolina scored three more points than (lid the oppo sition, but the lead was too great to offset. Lilliard and White shot goals in rapid succession to bring the score to 27-11. Furman got on the rampage again to take a lead of 34-1,1. Never giving up, the Birds fought to the bit te'r finish, only to be the recipients of a 40-22 defeat. It would be impossible to enumerate the stars of Furman's offense for all were there with an educated hand and eye. Burts and Huff garnering 27 points between them topped the scor ers for the night. lPritchard fought dloggedly and per formed wyell at guardl for the Game cocks. Whlite and Rembert were the next best bets. -U.S.C. INTRA-MURAL . BASKETBALL GROUP COMPETITION KEEN Rules For Teams-Size of Squads -Fifteen Contestants Entered If a wealth oif competition can be taken as indlicative of a hard fought race, thenm the intra-mural basketball tournament this year promises to be one of the most fiercely contested in the 4nnals of tenement basketball at Carolina. According to a statement by Physi. cal Director Crawvford last Friday, fif teen teams hadl enteredl the running 'and several others were expected to do likewise before Monday, the date scheduled for the opening game of the tournament. Fraternities have also been invited to place teams in the, running and four had filed player lists up to last Friday. Players that appear on a fraternity team, of course will not be allowedl to reyresent a tenement outfit also. According to the rule,s of the tour Fowl Tips 'IHE KNELL has tolled the end of the basketball careers of Chandler, Wolfe, White, Pritchard and Win dus. With their passing from fur ther competition Carolina loses five of the hardest fighters who have donned the Garnet and Black uni form. NEVER A FLASHY, grandstand play er, Chandler, captain and guard, has played a steady and hard game for three years. WHITE PERFORMED beautifully at center. A capable man who could always be depended upon to loom them through. ALL WILL remember when Carolina beat Ga. Tech in '27. In this game Windus let Tiny Hearn, the Tech Terror, down with 2 points. This boy has continually been a thorn in the side of opposing players. THOUGH THIS was his first year of varsity ball Wolfe has been heard and his presence felt in every game. FIFTY POINTS ahead or hopelessly beaten. Neither kept Pritchard from digging in there and fighting until the final whistle blew. DAVE REMBER;F sterling forward, is the only veteran who will return next year, but the number of worthy substitutes and the present freshman squad to pick from, pros pecats for next season don't look at all bad. FURMAN must have stumbled against a horse shoe somewhere between Columbia and Greenville. Too bad the Gamecocks didn't also have one to even up the luck. ALL GAMES are over in the field house. The chronic "grippers" in evidence Thursday night, will have to wait until next year before they can again cuss the referee and razz the opposition. IT'S A H - of a come-off when the referee has to stop a game and call down the student body, because of the slurring, remarks of only a few. The action of a fewv reflects discredit on the entire student body. FURMAN'S WIND blew itself out in intensity by the time it reached the coast sometime Friday. Those Citadel Cadets really blasted what ever hopes they had of champion ship qualifications. contain a squad of over 12 men, and no two tenements, frate.rnities, or clubs will bec allowed to combine. All gamne. will be played at the University Field House, some being run off in the af ternoon, while others will be0 played oli at night. The championship will be decided l)y the team that winds up the schedule wvith the best percentage ->i wins. A silver loving cup will be pre' sented to the winner. Tenement, or intra-mural basket ball, was begun at the University sev eral years ago for the express p)urpose of developing hidden material for the varsity squad, andl for the purpose of giving me.n unable to make the varsity a chance to figure in organized comi petitive play. The fact that i't has suc ceeded marvelously well in both case." is evidenced by the material it has fur nished the varsity squads from time to time and the increasing amount of Interest taken in the tournament each year sine its Inepntion.

BLACK BASEBALL SQUAD START WORKING PITCHERS AND CATCHERS Baseball Soon To Ascend The Throne of Sports With the first touch of spring-like weather, pitchers and catchers, bd - ding for places on the '29 baseball team, have reported to Coach Laval and expressed themselves as "all fit and ready to go." Any afternoon the familiar sound of horsehide thudding on leather can be heard as the mound artists attempt to wrinkle the kinks out of the old "soupbone" with the. oil of practice. The infielders and outfielders are due to report in a few days, and then it won't be long until the national pa: time will be in full swing on the Uni versity campus. Others besides the campus enthus iasts will welcome baseball. What tvotud the vendels do for a livelihood if it weren't for the spectators? These little fellows also furnish plenty of color and enthusiasm to a game with their raucous cries of "cold drinks, cigarettes, peanuts and candy." It is a hand-me-down custom among th' fans that no game is complete without the little white bag of goobers. Pea nuts are as necessary to some. at th-' ball game as cigarettes are during Ex ams to others, for they help break a little of the tension of a tight game To quit all this needless rambling and to get back to baseball proper, the following candidates lave reported Pitchers: Keels, Ritch, Stoddard and Riggins. Catchers: Barney Smith, Hatchett and McCleod. There are probably many more coming out who have not done so.
