( After dropping a hard fought game i "' to Florida on Tuesday night the Game- s , ; I cocks took the floor for the second < - - I game of the scries on Wednesday I - -- I night, underwent a complete reversal ' ' ' - I of form and fought the 'Gators to a '< ' ? .-1 standstill, weakening in the final period < I long enough for the speedy team from ! I the land of sunshine to jump into a -- I neat lead which they held^ until the I game ended with the score at 42-32. Starting a smaller, faster quintet i ri, I than that which answered the whistle ,VI the night before, the Gamecocks out- 1 \ sped their rangy opponents and held 111 t'lc suPer'or 'Gators five well through- ' ' out the first half, matching the Flori- ' ? dians basket for basket and emerging 1 from the period on top of a 15-13 score. . r.~. With Boineau, Bedcnbaugh, Smith, Green and Richards in the starting ,3.' line-up they put up an unexpectedly ] ; dogged defense, took the ball away from the lanky 'Gators in scrappy fashion, and flashing a speedy, fast< passing offense carried the ball down for counters often enough to seriously worry the Florida five. Green played a spectacular floor game and was a power on defense, while Boineau looped baskets from all angles, dropping enough points to tie with Baker, 'Gator center, for high-scoring honors, < with 8 points. Clemons sank a pretty shot from the foul circle to start the scoring, i following up with a foul shot that ; went good. Boineau looped one through from a difficult angle to start the Gamecock fireworks and the 'Gators countered with a short-lived rally I which brought the score to 8-4. At this point Boineau dashed in to make a brilliant tap-recovcry that went good, ' and took the ball on the next tip-off to sink a spectacular long shot and tie up the score. Waters was fouled in the act of shooting and garnered three points, the goal being allowed. Smith and Green soon afterward dropped a pair of beautiful long' shots to 1 send Carolina into the lead which they held until the half ended with the tally standing at 15-13. ' Richards started the second half ' scoring by making good a foul shot and Bedcnbaugh increased the lead to 18-13 with a shot from outside the Florida defense. Close guarding and ' fast floor work featured the first period ^ of the second half and the score see- i sawed along, with only a few shots ' finding the baskets until Emelhainz, ' flashy Florida forward, broke through to make a snow bv<l that resulted from a series of dazzling passes. A moment later Baker knotted the score : at 19 all. Boineau retaliated with a long shot that swished through and Waters sank a foul shot. Cherry made the score 22-21, squirming out of a mass of players under the goal to loop a (Continued on page seven) 11 I HOT DOGS I That Are Hot!

Veterms are back to take care of every posiion. These men will have strong com)etitors for their jobs in promising canlidatcs from last year's rat team. For first base, Eddie Sikes, who held he job last year, will have to fight it out ,vith "Lefty" Blair, a star on the freshnan team last year. Sikes is a rightlanded hitter and thrower, while Blair s lefthanded in both. Blair is a very smooth fielder and should prove a very jffective batter against righthanded pitching. He has a rather unorthodox jatting style but if lie can pound the igate the style won't make much difference. His reputation as a hitter is very good. Sikes is a steady ball player who, when lie connects, gives the ball a ride. His fielding improved a great deal last year.

This tells t'.e sad story of another Gamecock invasion of Greenville, this one 011 February 6. Olilsen and Ranich, Furman's star guards, shone brilliantly and with the aid of their mates held the Birds to four goals from the field. Carolina also had a tight defense, allowing the State champs only seven field goals. The unusually brilliant Furman forwards sank a total of exactly 110 field goals and only two points between them. Long shots by the Furman guards were the cause of the Bird defeat. Hughey and Adair were outstanding for Carolina.

Mr nm H .'- ^ "."'"/ -*:i~*y..] B> RAY jMENjjjj ice Before CHICKEN BY RAY i Coach A. W. Norman deserves much credit for the work he has done with the Carolina varsity basketball team this year. The basketball material was scant and not very talented to begin with and its morale was low. Despite this discouraging beginning, Coach Norman set to work to mold a formidable team. The progress was slow. The boys were willing but they got terrible breaks. Neither the student body nor the public gave them any encouragement. Everybody was down on them. Conditions were such as to daunt anyone, but the boys and their coach kept trying. Now we feel that Carolina lias a quint of which she may well be proud. Remember the gallant fight the Gamecocks put up against Furman and Georgia, both powerful, veteran teams. Even now it is true the Birds do not often win but they always give the opposition a run for the money and the fans some real excitement. They at least do their best. "The Gamecock" should feel proud of the Carolina fighters' victory over the North Carolina State mittmen. State has one of the best boxing teams in the North State. The thing that makes it sweeter is the fact that the University boxing teams have met so much grief against teams from North Carolina since the inception of boxing here. Maybe this will mark the end of an old jinx to the Carolina team. It is true of course that North Carolina State was handicapped by the absence of Gurneau, Indian heavyweight, who was in Durham with the basketball team to play Duke. However, this should not detract from the LEATHER PUSHERS Before a crowd of 2,500, the U. S. C. Boxing team pounded out a 4-3 win over the Wolfpack sluggers from N. C. State. Four technical K. O.'s were the features of the bouts, three of the Tarheel wins being in that manner. In the bantamweight clash, the Tarheels took the first fight from South Carolina, when Karig of N. C. State defeated Rogers of the Gamecock team by a technical K. O. in the first round. Jimmy Brailsford, co-captain of the Bird team evened the count with a decision over McGee, in the featherweight fight. Brailsford outmaneuvered and outboxed his taller opponent and was clearly entitled to the verdict. Red Watts, Carolina lightweight, sent the Gamecocks into the lead, with a technical knock-out over Guthrie of the Tarheels. Watts had Guthrie on the verge of a K. O. when the North Carolinian was saved by the bell and the towel. Watts' victory was the most decisive of the evening.

The Carolina freshmen quint shoul< not feel discouraged by their defeat a the -hands of Pacific's strong basketbal aggregation. The Pacifics arc up to tin standard of most varsity basketbal teams in this State. Their team boast 'of many veterans who have played to gether for several years and all an veteran court men. They co-ordinate pass, and shoot well and are a goo< team in every respect. The freshmei have played together for only a fev months and many of the men lack ex perience but they have develope* rapidly under the expert tutelage o Coach Laval. Many future varsity star should come from this team. Coach Alliston's new men on th< boxing team, Albert McCravy, ligh heavyweight, and J. W. Green, welter weight successor to co-Captain Wilsor made splendid showings against Stat Saturday. McCravy won his fight ver; decisively while Green lost his afte having piled up a lead of points in th third round on a technical knockout Green was suffering from roseola an< immediately after the fight went t< the infirmary for treatment. His illnes possibly sapped his strength and let to his defeat by a man he had clearl; outclassed in the first of the fight. The Gamecock baseball squad wi play one out of State game, according t the schedule recently released. That wi be at Davidson. This is very regrettabl because the Carolina club will be or that with an adequate schedule coul fight it out with the best in the South. CRUSH TARHEELS Bowers, N. C. State, evened the coun with a technical K. O. over J. \\ Green, Carolina. Green seemed a sur winner in the first round with twi knock-downs to his credit but Bower evened up in the second rornd ani defeated the curly-headed South Caro linian in the third round. Callahan drew a close decision ovc Hinson of North Carolina in the mid dleweight class. Both fighters put u a good fight. Gardner of North Carolina was dc featcd by McCravy of the Birds i the light-heavyweight scrap. McCrav clinched the meet for the Gamccoc] leather-pifshers with his steady driv ing attack, and a solid blow whicl knocked Gardner out of the ring ii the second stanza. In the final clash, Epscy of Nortl Carolina State won over "Cowboy Urquart in the no-limit division.

MacDougall brings high school rccord ?s brilliant as any freshman has 1 }rought to Carolina in many years.
