Monk Shand, tackle of Columbia, was named alternate captain. Gressette earned his letter last year as a sophomore and developed this season into one of the best wingmen in the Southern conference, although weighing ony 175 pounds. One of the stalwarts in the Carolina line all year, Gressette played exceptionally great ball toward the close of the season and won the praise of sport writers all over the state by his brilliant performance against Florida, when pitted against the ail-American Van Sickle. Senior Next Year Gressette will be a senior next year and should make one of the greatest ends in the nation if he continues to develop as he has during the past two years. He should make the Game' cocks a great captain. Shand, like Gressette, made his letter in his sophomore year, and played excellent football all season, being honored with a tackle berth on the composite all-state team selected annually by coaches and sport writers from every section of the state. Twenty-two Letters Awarded Coach Laval made a short talk to the squad just before the election of the captain and awarded letters to the following players: De Vaughn, Powell, Leardo, Watson, Beall, I3>.

MEN REPORT FOR ARCHERY SQUAD Nine Men Out For First Drill; New Equipment Bought For Archers At a meeting held last Monday afternoon at the gymnasium, nine aspiring young Robin Hoods answered the initial call for candidates for the first archery team ever organized at Carolina. M. T. Yates, an expert in the game, is the instructor and promises to get the team in shape as quickly as possible. A captain and manager will be elected at a future meeting, it was announced. The team will meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons at four o'clock and only those who are especially interested in the game are asked to enlist as the required quota has already heen reached. The University has purchased all new equipment and the department is complete in every respect. Several hundred dollars in all has been expended toward equipping the new department and it is hoped that the team will have a most successful year in spite of the fact that this is the first year an archery team has been formed to represent the University. Those men who have already turned in their names arc: Sanders Guignard, T. C. Hankitis, II. K. Hamlet, Ostin Francis, R. L. Kcaton, Walter Aston, A. F. Rizzalo, F. P. Miller, and Bryant Adair. II. H.

'ELECTED OF 1930 BIRDS vl W ' BOB GRESSETTE Bob Gressette, star end on the 1929 varsity, who was named captain of the 1930 eleven by his teammates at a meeting last night. Gressette made his letter as a sophomore last year and has starred in the Gamecock forward wall in every game played this season. Sport Chants I BY JULIAN KRAWCHEK IT IS GRATIFYING to note that preliminary steps for the early establishment of a press bureau at Carolina is apparently under way at last. No definite plans have been announced yet for publication but it is only a matter of time now until this long neglected and highly important department will be organized on a firm basis here. ONE BY ONE and little by little, Carolina is beginning to get the things that she needs most. The field house, built two or three years ago, was the beginning of a new progressive program. Now, with a stadium and press bureau almost a certainty, it is to be hoped that a new chapel, swimming pool, paved sidewalks and a building for student activities is on the way also. WHEN CAROLINA wound up her season last Saturday against Tennessee, five sturdy Gamecocks, Bcall, Stoddard, Zobel, Wingard and Smith, donned a Carolina uniform for the last time. It was no mere coincidence, therefore, that these men turned in brilliant performances in the face of art overwhelming defeat suffered at the hands of one of the most powerful gridiron machines in the nation. THESE MEN WILL be sorely missed next year, especially Beall, Stoddard and Zobel. It takes a great amount of natural ability together with great gobs of hard training grind to develop into as great all around performers as these three men are. To lose men of their calibre is to leave open gaps that are difficult to fill capably. J I IK T LAM MATES OK Boh Gressette couldn't have possibly named a better man to captain the Birds next year than this genial wingman from St. Matthews. Gressette is extremely popular with the men on the team and with present indications pointing to a wealth of good material for 1930, he should lead the Gamecocks to many triumphs during the next campaign. AMONG THE MEN that appear to be slated for varsity berths next year is Harry Freeman, recently elected captain of the Biddie eleven for this year. A strapping 200 pounder, Freeman is a star at either tackle or full back and is certain to make somebody hustle for a position on the Gamecock team next fall. U. H. O.

By JULIAN KRAWCHEK ROOSTERS BOW TO TENNESSEE VOLS IN FINALE McEver And Hackman Run Wild; Beall, Stoddard, Zobel Play Brilliantly Gene McEver and Buddy Ilackman, the touchdown twins of Tennessee, looked like an army of dancing ghosts to a luckless flock of Carolina Gamecocks Saturday and the gridiron charges of Billy Laval went down to an overwhelming 54 to 0 defeat in the final game of the season for both elevens. The powerful Volunteers, undefeated for three seasons and tied but a few scattered times in between, switched their high powered machine into high gear and raced through for a sum total of eight touchdowns, McEver and Hackman accounting directly for all of the markers. McEver scored five times through a shattered Carolina defense and added three extra points after touchdowns, enabling him to assume the role of head football scorer of the nation with a grand total of 130 points. Hackman There Too Hackman ran his buddy a close second, coming through with the other three touchdowns and aiding materially in advancing the ball down the field on numerous other occasions. Carolina was outclassed from the very beginning but lead by the indomitable spirit of their captain, Julian Beall, they never quit trying and succeeded in holding the Tennesseans scoreless in the second quarter and again in the closing moments of the final period when a touchdown seemed imminent. Vols Too Powerful Except for this brief drive, the ball was in Tennessee's possession most of the time and with Hackman and McEver scoring touchdowns in monotonous succession, the outcome was never in doubt. Zobel, Stoddard and Beall played brilliantly for Carolina and their superb defensive work stood out almost as brightly as the brilliant offensive of the touchdown twins. Time and time again Zobel or Stoddard would nail the Vol ball carriers out in the open when they were apparently headed for certain scores. The work of Captain Beall was especially brilliant. He stopped more Tennessee ball toters than all the rest of his line teammates did together and together with Zobel and Stoddard, finished his grid career for Carolina (Continued on Page 7) GYMNASTS WORK REGULARLY FOR HARD SCHEDULE Under the supervision of Instructor Jack Crawford, the gym team has been practicing regularly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons in preparation for a number of trips to be made during the first of the coming year. While no official schedule has been announced yet, it is understood that Florence will be the first stopping point on a trip that will include competitive matches with other schools as well as some of the stronger Y. M. C. A. teams. This sport is considered one of the strongest aids for rounding out one's body and muscular development. Every year three medals are given to the three that have excelled in gym work throughout the year. For this and other reasons, much interest is being shown in the work. BIDDIES ELECT FREEMAN Harry Freeman, big 200 pound tackle and full back, was elected captain of the 1929 Biddie eleven at a meeting of the squad Saturday. Astor Fleming of Spartanburg ran second and Correl third in the voting. _ Freeman is a former Riverside star, having made an allSouthern berth at full back while playing there. Placed at his customary position at the first of the season, Freeman was soon switched over to a tackle berth because of a dearth of line material.

FOSTER AND LAVAL TO CONFERENCE MEETING MEET AT BATON ROUGE To Vote On Proposed Changes In By-Laws Of Southern Conference Dr. Ralph Foster, director of athletics at the University, and Coach Billy Laval, will leave tonight for Baton Rouge, La., to attend the annual meeting of the Southern conference representatives December 1214.

Together with Finney of Tennessee and two other centers, Beall was named as pivot man for the team from the Northern division of the conference, making a total of four capable centers in all for use on the eleven. In view of the fact that lie won a berth on the second all-Southern eleven and also honorable mention for all-American, Beall will undoubtedly be called upon to do most of the work at the pivot position. Roberts And Beall Roberts, the Tulane center, who barely beat Beall out by a few scattered votes for the all-Southern eleven, will be at the center of the line for the Southern eleven, being pitted directly opposite the Carolina captain. The personnel of the squads from the Northern and Southern divisions of the conference is made up of the outstanding players from the teams in the particular section, nominated by sports writers and coaches for berths on the squads. T he two divisions of the conference will he more evenly matched this year than they have been at any time in the past, with a number of strong teams representing each section. Tulane, Georgia, Florida and Alabama are the strongest teams in the Southern end,^ while Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Vanderbilt form a quartette of exceptionally powerful teams in the North. Among the other teams in the Northern division are South Carolina, Clemson, N. C. State, Duke, Washington & Lee, V. M. I., Virginia, V. P. r., Sewanee and Maryland. Georgia Tech, L.. S.
