This is the first time that the officials have been chosen at a meeting of the coaches, the selecting being done by mail. u. s. c. "How did you know the poor victim was a fraternity man?

He is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. 1931 PROSPECTS BRIGHT^ ON GRID Undefeated Freshman Team Adds Strength To Nexts Year's Eleven ( While the ever reticient Coach Laval is hesitant about committing himself onx his team's prospects this coming fall, this sports writer can't suppress his opinions concerning the 1931 model of the Gamecock football machine. It looks excellent. Getting over that first bump?Duke? next year is going to be the real test for this machine, but after that the running should be comparatively smooth. Men available from last year's team are Captain Miles Blount, back; alternate-captain Hughey, guard; Freeman, guard; Brantley, back; Allen Corrcll, center; Ernest Correll, end; Hicks, back; DeVaughn, end; and Adair, tackle. These men arc sure to see much service next year. Coach Laval has a host of promising material, to pick from and his most difficult job will probably be selecting. Such men as Wolfe, Clary, Shinn brothers, Raby, Johnson, Turner, Fortson, Morehead, Meares, Hajek, Hambright, Willard, Huskey, McManus will have to be reckoned with before the opening lineup is chosen. The backfield situation is bright. The list reveals the familiar names qf Blount, Hicks, Brantley, and Fleming. Boineau has been lost by graduation. Wolf, Clary, Joe Shinn, Turner, Hambright, and Cason aspire to his places. Wolfe, Clary and Dick Shinn, at present, appear to be promising backs, but they are being pressed hard by the others. They approach nearest the point of being triple threat men. Plenty of heavy material has available for the line positions. Hughey and Freeman sceh) headed for the guard posts. The tackles appear a tossup between two of the following: Huskey, McManus, Mearse, Adair, and Craig. The other guards who are going to make it misserable for Freeman and Hughey are Fortson, Moore, Moorehead, and Ewing. The wing positions are not going to be weak next fall. Those who are giving Coach Laval difficulty in picking the right two men are DeVaughn, Bostick, Ernest Correll, Hajek, Raby, and Willard. The two likeliest candidates for center arc Joe Shirtn and Allen Correll, with Lcardo and Gilmorc, strong competitions. There is no certainty about one player playing any definite position. These are merely opinions. Coach Laval is doing much experimenting in order to find the best qualified player for each position. He has not decided as to the regulars who will answer the whistle of the referee when the Gamecocks trot out on the field against Duke University for the opening game of the 1931 football season. To give those who arc interested an idea of a representative Carolina team for next fall the following men are offered: Hajeck and Correll, ends. These men know how to get down the field (Continued on page eight) "WE HAIL THEI S. B. McMA ATHLETIC ? ' ? / ' yiktyr" !, ! ; . / v .

Shinn ' Star In Practice Came By Allen Rollins With March high winds at thqir best, spring football practice at the University of South Carolina was given a realistic touch Wednesday afteroon when tjhe varsity defeated a formidable second string eleven on Melton Field before a small crowd of shivering spectators 19 to 6. It was ideal weather for a football game and the teams lumbered back and forth over the gridiron as if the season opener were only a week off. The contest was run off with all the formality of a state championship classic, referee, umpire, headlinesman, timer, and fans all being present. Coach Laval sent the following men on the field to start the fray: Greys (varsity), D. Shinn, Hicks, Clary, and Brantley, backfield; Hajek and E. Correll, ends; McManus and Huskey, tackles; Frefeman and Hughey, guards; and J. Shinn, center. Reds: Turner! Fleming, Barcntine, and vHambright, backfield; DeVaughan and Raby, ends;' Adair and Craig, tackles; Fortson and Moore, guards; and Leardo, center. Swetto Hicks picked up) a punt and raced 60 yards for the first touchdown and Karl Clary heaved a neat pass to Frank Bostick, substitute end, for 40 yards and a touchdown to give the greys a 13 to 0 advantage at the half. The second team rallied in the> third period and managed to push over a score when Turner heaved a pass to Barentinc for 30 yards and the first stringers came back to add one more in the final period when Dick Shinn went over for the counter after a steady march down the field featuring all the backfield men. u. s. c.
