Co-Ed Chatter By Louise Edwards 1 he co-ed basketball tournament will be held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings of next week at seven thirty in the gym. The class team schedules have not yet been made out, but there will be two games a night. Each team will play one game each of the three nights. There will be no admission charge. New girls have constantly been coming out for the teams. They arc: seniors, Elizabeth Smith, Frances Jolley, Millie Taylor, Agnes Womack; juniors, Anne Tyler, Cornelia Wells, Sarah Davis, Edyth Carlisle, Hazel Zeigler; Sophomores, Betty Payne, Mary Lou Fairey, Elizabeth Davis! Margery Shcaly, Cornelia Dowling; freshmen, Mary Ruth Sherer, Elizabeth Byrd, Rosa Kinsey, Virginia Wolf, Mary Dell Stevenson, Alene McNeil, Alma Russ, Gladys Gaskin, and Mirrel Cassels. According to a new amendment to the constitution of the Women's Athletic Association, the first teams will be picked after the games have been played. Captains will be elected on next Friday. Columbia College refused an invitation^ to play the varsity team. Maybe that's because rumors have reached them of the quality of our team! Three colleges in the state have accepted our invitation to Play Day, tentative date of which is April 2.' Those who have accepted are Lander, Winthrop, and Converse. At a meeting of the Women's Athletic Association Thursday, discussion was held on giving co-eds letters on the basis of the point system instead of the council of the Athletic Association granting them. It is thought that when a girl has obtained 1,100 points she will be granted a letter. U. 8. C. .

Hj BY ALAN E Enters * Takes Freshmen End With I _ 4 Henderson Leads Scorers With 169 Points; Benny Tompkins Second With 154 By IRWIN KAHN Wednesday night the University of South Carolina freshman basketball team completed one of the most successful seasons that any basketball team at the University has ever had. The team consisted mainly of men over six feet in height. Rowland, regular guard was the only exception, but Laurie, Henderson, and the two Tompkins brothers averaged 0 feet 2 and one-half inches. Much credit is due the two regular guards, Rowland and Bcnnie Tompkins. Rowland took very few shots at the basket himself but was excellent in feeding the ball to his taller team mates besides doing exceptional work in recovering the ball from the backboard. Bennie Tompkins was the best dribbler of the quint and also chalked upv more points during the season than most forwards on other teams in the state have. Victor Laurie and Fred Tompkins held down the forward posts. Laurie's forte being side court shots, while Tompkins played the pivot popsition in the offense. The deadly southpaw shots of Tompkins were one of the reasons which caused the Biddies to run up such large scores. Dana Henderson, lanky center, was perhaps, the most consistent player of the team. He invariably outjumped the opposing centers to start the plays of the Biddies. Incidentally, he was the high scorer. Frosh Rout Hi 77-18 In Last The South Carolina ace freshmen quint defeated Spartanburg Hi in the Piedmont city Wednesday night, 7718 in the last game of the season, stampeding the smaller five and holding a 42-G lead at half time. Freddy Tompkins was high scorer with 3G points. Dana Henderson shot 15 while Benny Tompkins and "Vic" Laurie shot 11 each. Substitutes played the last quarter for both teams. It was the Biddies' 14th consecutive win, they having an undefeated '32 slate. u. a. o. FENCERS WANTED There are several vacancies on the Carolina fencing team. Anyone wishing to join the team should see W. R. Bolt, manager. Practice is held each Monday, Wednesday I and Friday at four o'clock. U. H. C. Left-Handed Study Chairs Officials at Midland College are seriously considering the proposition of ordering left-handed study chairs for their students. This semester there are 13 students enrolled who write with their left hand. A professor of history at Swarthmore College will report the Geneva conference for 350 American newspapers. He has been granted a leave of absence from Swarthtnore to attend the Conference. ?Swarthmorc Phoenix. j Tufts Weekly cites a story from the Jacksonite Mickey Mouse. A professor advised co-eds to run around their residences three times each day, get to bed early, and not to spend five hours necking in a parked car. "Five hours," wailed one student, "I'd think I was lucky if I had one hour." The Drexel Triangle has a story of a student who suffered from the measles, love, college professors, Saturday morning classes, and never turned a hair. He was bald. [. SOHAFER Confi Last I Season Maimers Flying 3oaster J.I ambles By AL SCHAFER CAROLINA SPIRIT Carolina spiritl Loyalty to our Alma Mater! Overflowing enthusiasm! Yes, where is it? In former years when cheering was perhaps weak, some blamed it on the lack of good teams to be enthusiastic over. Now, when Carolina boasts the best allround athletic teams in all sports that have ever represented her, the spirit lags even farther behind. Except for a few half-hearted demonstrations the first weeks of the first semester, the school spirit remains a dormant factor. Cheerleaders organize plans for a cheering section and shirttail parades. Students talk of the revival of the "old-time" devotion and loyalty that Carolina once boasted. Then, after the Clemson game, little is heard from the cheerers till the election the following spring. Now we do not desire to go on record as razzing ' the present cheering regime. For they have consistenly tried to get organized cheering at most events. The trouble lies in the student body and must be remedied, by what means remaining to be found. We sincerely think that if upperclassmen would set the new frosh an example of spirit, Carolina would again rise up at the mention of the name Clemson" and coaches would have an easier time keeping the morale of the squads at a high level. RAMBLING Johnny Scott, fighting his third fight this year, came through brilliantly Monday night in Washington as he knocked out Covaleski, star Columbus U. Welter, who boasted an undefeated inter-collegiate record up to the time of his fight with "Scotty." More power to you at the Conference meet, Johnny. L. S. U. L. S. U. had 104 men report for spring football practice last week. A strong Tiger eleven, coached by Biff Jones, former Army 'mentor, will meet the Gamecocks this fall. LAVAL Coach Billy Laval leaves today for thfc Southern Conference basketball meet in Alabama where lie will arrange a conference schedule for the Bird five for 1933. The strong frosh squad promises a championship-contender varsity next year. -U. H. C. Biddies Swamp Florence Quint Saturday night the Carolina Freshman basketball team traveled to Florence * to add another game to their string of victories. The score was 61 t" 16. Earlier in the season the frosh had beaten the Florence "Y" 62 to 11. I'red and Bcnnie Tompkins vied for scoring honors of the evening. The family got 37 faints between them, Bcnnie accounting for 20 points and Fred garnering 17 points. Dana Henderson hooped four field goals and two foul shots for ten points while Laurie and Rowland each gathtrcd 7 points to make up the grand total of 61 points, thus boosting the Frosh's average from 46 to 50 points per game for the season.

Almost every quiz goes to prove that a fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. erence Home Boxers Lose Two Matches While Away Johnny Scott Knocks Out Undefeated Columbus U.
