Squad Of Gamecock
1929 Varsity
Bob Gressette, stellar Gamecock
end from St. Matthews, was
named captain of the 1930 Carolina
varsity at a meeting of the
football team last night. 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>.
Smith, Hughey, Brigham, Moore,
Adair, Derrick, Laval, Bostick, Shand,
Gressette, Edens, Zobel, Culp, Boineau,
Stoddard, Wingard, and M.

In the election for manager of next
year's team, Hammond and Nicholson
tied with ten votes each, necessitating
another vote in the near future.
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.

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.

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

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.

PLAYS IN NEW
YEAR CLASSIC
Carolina Captain To Be Pitted
Against Roberts Tulane
Pivot Man
Definite announcement that
Julian Beall would play on the
Northern conference eleven in the
annual intra-confcrence game New
Year's day was made in a dispatch
from Atlanta recently in
which the complete roster of both
squads was made known.
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. U., Auburn, Mississippi, and
Mississippi Aggies are in the Southern
end.
