The Blue Stockings got off to an 1 early lead of 7 to 0 and it was late in - I the second half before the Birds were * I able to overtake the flying Johnson quint. Captain "Munch" Dupre dropped ; | in a field goal to tie the count at 19 to 19, and Tom Grantley sank another immediately afterwards to give Carolina a shortlived lead. However, here Adams, * J P. C. forward, flashed in action and with ;; j four straight field goals he left the Birds far behind. Harry Freeman, Tom Brantley and ;;; "Munch" Dupre were outstanding for ^ | Carolina, while Adams was the shining 'v; j light in the play of the Hoscmen.

To Meet In Spring ) The University of Wisconsin has in- j vited the Carolina archery team to take part in a national intercollegiate archery i meet to be held in the spring. The Na- I tional Archery Association is sponsoring the meet, and the Department of Physical Education at Wisconsin is making all plans and arrangements. The team doesn't know until more ( definite information is received whether ' it will be able to enter or not. It is not 1 - financially able to make a long trip. ( If the Carolina archers enter, they will ( complete against outstanding teams of ( the country and if they make a fair showing, which they feel confident of do- ' ing, it will be an outstanding achieve- ^ ment for the University. ' At present the team is trying to ar- '' range matches with several other college ' archery teams, but nothing definite has ! been decided as yet. ; ' (pS^Jroad St., N. \\ Atlanta, Ga. \ .K /- , . . MEET! IpensHorm Gock-A-Doodles I by allen rollins Oncc there was a man who went crazy. Reason: he tried to solve the following problem : How can a team get three triples, one double, two singles, and two stolen bases in one inning and not score a run? Well, here's the train of events. Batter No. 1 triples and is thrown out in home trying to make a homer. Hatter No. 2 does likewise. No. 3 doubles and No. 4 gets a scratch infield hit, No. 3 being held on second. Nos. 3 and 4 pull a double steal, placing them on second and third respectively and batter No. 5 connects for another one of those infield hits, causing no advance on the paths and filling the bases. And here comes triple No. 3 from the palmetto of the sixth batter. But alas, alack, hrrniph, and tsk, tsk, the runner on third gets off on one of those Charley I addock starts, stumbles, sprains an ankle or in some way incapacltatcd. While he is struggling to reach the plate before the ball is relayed back home, the ball is retrieved just as all four runners reach third base, and as the last batter touches third base, making his hit a legal triple, the ball is put on one of the runners, and in spite of the superabundance of base-knocks the side is retired without having a run engineered across the plate. All runners were held up by the accident which befell the man on third because the minute one runner passes another on the bases lie is out. More strange than true but certainly a knotty problem worthy of Mr. Ripley's attention. South Carolina's brand new football schedule recently announced calls for the Birds to oppose Wallace Wade in his first start as head coach at Duke University. Quite an ambitious beginning, this tackling the team of a man who only last year coached a national championship eleven but South Carolina will have a team that will deserve such an opening date. First rumblings of the 1931 football campaign will be heard over the campus immediately after examinations when spring practice begins. Competition for egular berths will be strong this year, stronger perhaps than ever before in he history of football at, Carolina, and nany candidates can be seen working out n the gym every day getting iu shape or the opening practices. This is only >nc of the reasons why Carolina should iave a good team in 1931. FOOTBALL PROVES STORM CENTER I'ootball is again the storm center >f controversy in the college and public press. Grantland Rice, sports writer, and Bill Roper, Princeton :oach, have declared that American :ollege football is definitely on the leclinc. .An unusual amount of feeling has >ccn aroused due to these statements. Both experts believe that it is being approached as a business and not as i sport; that too much emphasis is being placed on winning and not on sportsmanship. Professionalism in football in the Middle West is also being attacked. The University of Kansas was recently dropped from the Big Six conference because two of its varsity players were Found to be receiving payment. The Universities of Nebraska and Missouri have passed a rule forbidding transferred students from participating in any form of outside activity for sne year. The purpose of this rule is to avoid the stigma of professionalism by not allowing students to transfer from one college to another just to play football.

Carolina Loses Games To The University of South Carolina ( basketcers returned to the campus Wed- I nesday after a disastrous trip into the I Old North State that netted the Birds 5 two bad defeats. Duke and the Univer- I sity of North Carolina both ran away with the Gamecocks to reduce Carolina's standing in the Southern Con- I ference to one victory and five losses, the lone victory being over Georgia Tech.

With the cxccpn of the heavyweight battle the bouts re rather tame, Carolina taking four cisions and winning the bantamweight le when Truesdalc, Presbyterian star, , iled to make the weight. Fifteen hundred people rose to their Jt in the third round of the heavyight fracas when Cheatham of P. C. unded "Cowboy" Urquhart-to the cans with a mighty blow to the Gamecock < liter's jaw. Up until this point Urqu- < rt had the fight his own way and >uld probably have won easily on ints. The "Cowboy" made gallant efrts to resume the fight but the count ten came too soon. Captain McQueen P. C. won the closest decision of the rht when lie defeated Stoney Hartin, newcomer, in the middleweight bout. Vincent of P. C. defeated Grant in one-round exhibition match. Green reiatcd for Carolina when he came withan ace of knocking out Simms of i C. In both cases the losers were 1 oggy and Referee Briggs had to toss the towel. Co-Captain Jimmy Brailsford gave II evidence that he will be a serious ntender for Southern Conference nors this year when he defeated Boyd, P. C. Boyd put up an impetuous fight i rushing Birailsford time and again ' Iy to be met punch for punch. Both ; n weighed in at 127. Fighting "Red" Watts was a veritable lirlwind in his victory over Graham, i ;itts floored 'Graham four times in first round with wallops that would *c K.

Watts easily took the decision. 1 e Carolina fighter weighed in at 138, ^ ng three pounds heavier than the ] Je Stocking warrior. i Wilson of Carolina took a close dc- J ion from Parker in the welterweight ^ 'ision. Both men went at it furiously ! J the Carolina co-captain did not get edge until the last thirty seconds of !. final round. Stoney Martin, fighting his first bout Carolina, gave Captain McQueen a ( rce battle that was not decided until < ' closing seconds of the last round. \ r a neweftmer Hartin shows promise, i 'Pug" Callahan of Carolina and Cas- j V^ of P. C. made the customers take > little notice in the light-heavy class , ten both men jumped in at the start i (1 pounded each other furiously. Calla- i ii was the more consistent and as a i mlt won the match but Caskey de- i ves much credit for the whirlwind ish that lie put up after Callahan had " Kr?ggy. The feature bout of the night came ien the heavyweights made their aparance. It was a wild slugging and esthng match with Urquhart having < * e('KC ""til Cheatham popped up with wild wallop in the middle of the final : und that spelled the count for Urqu- 1 rt. Urquhart displayed a better defense d a lot more dash in the first two unds. Cheatham's lack of defense alved Urquhart to pile up a number of ints. Acting as judges to assist Referee iggs in his decisions were J. T. Gittm and Bob Thackham. As a whole the Carolina team looked od. With a little more experience the rd fighters should give a good acuiit of themselves before the season ds. NESDAY STRONG CADET BOXING SQUAD .
