Carolina Team Shot To Pieces In
Sensational Swap With
Big Leaguers
By Cole L. Blease
With the entire first string line-up
swapped for major leaguers in base
ball's most sensational trade of the
year, the Carolina varsity opens its
league season here today against Erskine
with very little chance for victory.
During the past week the Carolina
infield was sold to the Yankee for
$1,000,000 while Carolina got from
league players, Lou Gehrig, first base;
I Jack Saltzgavcr, second base, Frank
Grosctti, shortstop; and Lyn Lary,
third. The Birds going to the Yankees
were Jenkins, catcher; Blair, first base;
Captain Vaughn, second; McDougall,
short; and Hicks, third.
The outfield was shipped to the
Athletics, Yankees, and Giants, Richards
was traded for Simmons of the
Athletics, Harley for Babe Ruth of
the Yankees, and Hambright for Ott
of the Giants.
Pitchers Ouzts and Wolf were sent
to the Athletics. In return the
Athletics sent pitchers Grove and
Earnshaw and catcher Cochritic to the
These trades greatly weaken the
chances of the Birds to capture the
championship of the league. But
Coach Lilly Baval says that he hopes
to give the other clubs a tough fight.
The Carolina varsity in pre-season
games with the major league clubs
displayed such outstanding form that
there was a grand scramble among the
major leaguers to sec who would get
them.

New Sport
Is Invented
Yack Rawford, Ymn Director,
Originates "Balling";
Appeals To All
By Cobra C. Blackwood
Yack Rawford, Ymnf Director, has
invented a new indoor sport equally
adapted to women and men which he
says will be quickly learned and will
be universally played before exams.
This is a game which lie playfully
named "Balling." It is a sort of imitation
of the old Apple-bobbing game
played in the days gone by. It is a
game requiring more science than
muscle and seniors will know the
game much better than freshmen.
The game is composed of several
balls, vari-colored which arc suspended
from the ceiling. Each player jumps,
and tries to "pull" the ball corresponding
to the square in which lie stands.
As example, a student might be standing
in the square marked HISTORY
and would try to jump for the ball
marked correspondingly. If he succeeds
in pulling down that ball, he
moves to the next square. Each
square has a value, usually 3, although
some balls which arc bigger and
harder to reach are marked 4 and
some balls hanging lower are only
rated as two. When the player
readies 124, he is placed in a zoo with
others who have completed the round,
and if he is especially adept at pulling
the balls he is placed in a separate
cage marked, Phi Beta Kappa. The
game continues until all who started
have either finished or dropped out.

Muckfayden
Made Coach
A. 11-A m e r i c a n . Law-Schooler
Named To Succeed Baval As
Carolina Coach
Rooster Muckfayden, all-American
law school coach, was named last .
night hy the disgruntled alumni to '
succeed Lilly Baval as head football 1
coach at the University.
This action came as a surprise to
everyone as Coach Baval had just led
to listless Birds to their first Southern .
Conference football championship.
It is understood tfiat the action was
taken because the alumni hated to see
Carolina have such a fine team, and
that perhaps Muckfayden could create
enough dissension in the Bird ranks to
:atisc them to loose all their games
next season.
Baval will probably be retained as
sewing circle and dancing coach and ,
to assist Dr. Ralph K. (Uncle Remus)
Faster in arranging light football '
schedules. Carolina will play Columbia
high, ftailey, Benedict, Allen, and
Claflin next year if they are in good
ihape, according to Baval. This sched- !
lie was substituted for the one previously
announced.

JOHNSONE ENTERS MINISTRY
Joseph Johnsone, head goody-goody
of Wardlaw Bible club, was ordained
to the ministry last Sunday evening at
7 o'clock in services conducted by the
Rt. Rev. William Donelan, President
of the Block C club, chief ministerial
and honorary religious organization
on the campus. Mr. Johnsone is expected
to report to Rev. Wm. Laval
for training in Biblical expression,
Didactical literature and forceful
oratory before he enters his pulpit at
Swansea, S. C. this summer.
THE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Carolina's football chances do not
seem so bright as spring practicc
comes to a close. The Birds, in their
opening game against Epworth Orphanage's
second string, will face
some of the toughest opposition they
have had in years. However, Coach
Baval is confident that the Birds will
defeat the Orphans.
Flo Shine, heavy center, said that
he was afraid the dauntless Orphans
would have too much school spirit to
be beaten. Coach Baval is reputed to
have scolded Shine for this spcecli,
saying it would ruin the Birds' morale
f it got to the squad. Well, the second
game is even more difficult, the Gamecocks
meeting the Columbia Bible Society
on the Biblctecrs home ground.
Playing away may hurt the Carolinian's
chances, as the Apostles have
a strong home-town team, numbering
Paul, Luke and John in the backfield.
