HOODOO FOLLOWS" GAMECOCKS SOUTH Birds Drop Two Games To 'Gators At Gainesville; Led Opponents At Half in Second Game * The "jinx" that has been trailing the; Ciatnccocks all season did not forget their trip to Florida and followed them there for both games. In the first game on Monday night the Gamecocks fell hefore the taller at id more rangy "Gaiors" by the score of 69 to 29. The fc Mowing night, however, the Gamecocks put up a real fight to lead their opponents at the lialf 18 to 16, hnt weakened in the final period to allow the "Gators" to overcome [he lead and defeat them. Carolina in the first game was completely at a loss to get started. Adair, with a total of 14 points was high scorer for the Gamecocks, while Baker with 15 points was high scorer of the game. The Gamecocks threw a real scare in he Gator lair on Tuesday night by leadng at the half by a two point margin. However, the strain of the first half was too much and tlje Florid'ans won >ut. Clemons led in points scored for Florida and Boineau, DuPrc, and Smith icd for this honor for Carolina.

SPRING FOOTBALL GETS UNDER WAY Laval Leads Gridmen Through Drills and Plays; Freshmen Shine in Scrimmage % Spring football practicc began on the practicc field Thursday afternoon, February 6. Most of the 1930 team were out for the scrimmage, but a few old faces are missing, being lost through graduation. These arc Boineau, "Happy" Edens, Cap't. Bob Grcssctte, "Monk" Shand and Gerard Blount. Gressettc is on the field coaching the ends in blocking, tackling and receiving passes. Coach Laval is using different plays on the teams every day and is at present stressing the running and blocking. Assisting him are "Whitey" Rawl and Ike Clary, two of the famous four horsemen df Furman's championship team in 1924. Several of the football team are not out yet because of the basketball season, notably Adair, Freeman, Brantley, Hughey and DeVauKhn. Farl Clary has been out of practicc for several days, with an ankle injury, lint will soon be bark in the line-up. VVylie is also out with a hurt shoulder, as is Campbell with a bad knee. Several changes arc noted in I^val's training teams. Ilajek, center of last year's frosh team, is l>eing run in the backfield and promises to be as good as he was at center. Grayson Wolfe, also of the frosh team is showing up nicely in the quarter position. There arc several candidates for each berth, and at present there is no knowing the line-up of the 1931 Gamecocks, but it seems likely that there will be many new men on the first squad. > ' - * v* . v - j't ? /? B|S Hp rTpla BIR D OUTFIELD RATED STRONG ON DEFENSIVE Bill Harley, Veteran Left-fielder Expected to Shine Again For Gamecocks By Ray Anti.ey The Carolina outfield should be strong defensively and fast on the base paths but will probably be devastating at the bat. Bill Harley, leftfielder, is the only man on hand who has already shown that he can hit college pitching successfully. The situation may turn out well, however, as there are several promising sophomores coming out who have enviable reputations. Freeman and Jcnkit* arc the best known of these. Jenkins will get his share of the hits, regardless of who pitches. .He is a natural batter who gets his hits by hitting the ball soldily rather than by trying to slug. If played regularly, Jenkins will compile a respectable average. While not startlingly fast, he covers a fair amount of ground and has a powerful arm. Freeman is the fencebuster type of bitter, who may be a tcrrior or may turn out a bust. When he connects they stay connected, but the question is whether he can connect frequently enough to compensate for fielding deficiencies. Freeman brings a powerful physique and the true competitive spirit to the game, and these make his chances of success much brighter. Harley will retain his old place in leftfield unless he is converted igto a pitcher. His strong forte is hitting and he is a real hitter. Although a lefthanded batter, southpaw pitchers do not, as a rule, cause him much trouble at the plate. Harley is a deadly man to face in a pinch, as the Clemson pitching staff will certify to. His fielding and throwing both showed tremendous improvement last year. The "Great" Boineau will be back to battle for luVccnterfield post with Herbert Watson, former Columbia high school star, and possibly Peter Richards, who won his letter his sophomore year! but was not in school last year. Boineau covers lots of ground but his batting and throwing are not up to par. Watson is a classy fielder and base runner but must prove his ability at the plate. In high school he hit for a nice average but his size prevents him ^rom being a slugger. If he can hit about 300, lie will be a real asset to the team. Richards can cover ground like Lloyd Waner and is a brilliant bascrunncr but his average at bat is nothing to enthuse over. However, he is so effective in other departments of the game that he is certain to be a regular. I'recman is the only known candidate <or right field. However, when the competition gets too keen among the other men, it is possible that Jenkins, Watson, or Richards will be used in the right pasture along with freeman. HOT DOGS That Are Hot!

Brings Southern Conference High ' Scorer Here ? ; m University of South Carolina boxers $8 and basketcers go on exhibition Saturday night in the field house in the year's big- 0 gest sports double header for Columbia when Virginia Military Institute i>ugi- &A lists clash with Coach Jack Alliston's,.$ Mittmen and the Gamecock cagers cross (ft with Georgia Tech basketeern. The basketball game will-take place first and after that Carolina sleep inducers ; ffM will supplant the hoop artists in supply- '! ing, entertainment for the crowd. South Carolina has one victory to its -/ credit for the season to date, and that one was registered at Georgia Tech's expense. The Birds, however, arc priming themselves for no setup, for since the \ Carolina victory, the Golden Tornado has reformed, winning a long string of vie- , tories including one over the Conference I leading Georgia Bulldogs. Perkins, Tech center, is high scorer in the Conference now and if he continues to shoot goals at the pace he has been setting in recent games he stands an excellent chance of breaking the all-time record for individual high scorers within the association. Carolina's spelendid mitt team, which to date has three victories and two defeats to its credit, is undefeated in the State and even though V. M. I. boasts one of the outstanding aggregations in the Conference, the Birds should be in a position to give an excellent account of themselves. Coach Alfiston will probably not have the services of Albert McCravy, star light-heavy, who was injured this y< week in a motorcycle accident. Scott or Rodgcrs arc likely starters for Carolina in the bantamweight division, Brailsford in the featherweight, Watts in the lightweight, J. W. Green in the welterweight, Hartin or Gettys in the middleweight class, Callahan in the lightheavy, and Urquhart in the unlimited. One of the largest crowds to pack the large field house this year is expected to be on hand when the double bill gets tinder way. TWENTY-FIVE GO OUT FOR TRACK Twenty-five men reported for track practice, which began February 4. As Coach Norman is still with the basket xj6 ball team there is no definite routine yet assigned. Also Captain Bostick is out ,; for spring football and John Moroso has charge of the practice. The following are out for the team: y for the 100 and 220, Duvall, Kishburne, and Wetinore; for the 440, Riley and Cook; for the mile, Weldon, Bushawr Ray, and Moroso; for the discuss, Riley; for the pole vault, Browne and Adair; for the high jump, broad jump and hurdles, Bostick, and DuPre; and for the shot put, Hughey.
