? ' Gamecc Prices For Grid Games Are Reduced r. Poster Announces Jewanee And Olemson Game Ducats May Be Secured At Depression Prices Prices for the Carolina-Sewanee and Carolina-CIemson games have been reduced this year, according to Dr. R. K. Foster, director of student activities at the University. There will be only one price for the Carolina-Sewanee contest in the stands, $1.60 plus tax, which means a total of $2. Without a reduction in price, the seats with both state and federal tax included would have been $2.40. The Carolina-CIemson tickets will be less than they have been since the World War. For years, all the tickets have been $2.50 and $3, plus tax, which meant $2.75 for all seats except the boxes, which sold for $3.30. This year there will be three prices for the game, with the top price $2.50 for the box seats, plus tax, totaling $3. Without a reduction, they would have been $3.60 this year. The largest reduction comes in the seats in the stands. All the side seats which Used to sell for $2.50, will sell for $2 this year, plus the two taxes, totalling $2.40. End seats will be $2, tax included. Doctor Foster said that prices for the other home games would be announced later, as the season progressed. u. i. o. Cage Stars To Return Tompkins Brothers, And Dana Henderson Will Arrive From Texas Soon Fred and Bennie Tompkins and D?na Henderson, main cogs of Carolina's brilliant point-a-minute freshman basketball team last year, will return to the University this year, contrary to the prevailing belief and report that they would matriculate at Texas Tech.

The trio were members of the national championship Athens, Texas, high school basketball team of 1920. They, together with John Rowland, sophomore end on the football team, and Victor Laurie, of Peterson, N.

Wilburn Clary, of Gaffney, is at Carolina while Bub Stroman, of Orangeburg, is at Clemson. Clary is a fullback and Stroman a tackle. Inabinet and K i s s a m are also among the ones slated for regular places on the Tiger frosh eleven. u. a. o. Public Barred From Practices The ban on spectators at Carolina 1 football practices is a decree of a 1 season's duration, Coach Billy Laval 1 has declared. The public was admitted to early practices of the Gamecocks but spectators crowded the players and hampered the instruction of Laval and his assistants. Coach Laval recently cut the num- ! ber of daily workouts from two to ( one, although a few morning and afternoon practices were held this 1 week. u. 8. o. ^ Line-up Shows ! Heavy Average : ?? i The Carolina starting lineup should ( look something like this: Rowland i and Raby, ends; Mecrs and Huskey, ( tackles; Moorehead and F o r t s o n, ( guards; Joe Shinn, center; Mauney ( or Wolf, quarterback; Clary and Hambright, halfbacks; and Captain "Fuzz" , Freeman, fullback. Such a lineup would give the Game- t cocks close to a 200 pounds average l up front and a 180 p unds average in ] the backfield. Coach Laval also has i capable reserves who can be substi- ; tuted without affecting the weight average materially. Saturday's will be the second game of the season for Sewanec, the Tigers having defeated the Tennessee Teachers eleven, 12 to 0, in a season-opener , last Saturday.

Coach Billy Laval for the past two weeks has been drilling his charges behind closed gates, not even admitting newspapermen to several prac- > tices this week. Wednesday he turned away his own son, Harry, a regular visitor at the Gamecock practice sessions. Ranked among the five outstanding teams in Dixie, the Gamecocks have a difficult schedule to play?one which should prove a worthy test. Although there was no CarolinaSewanee game last year, there is a small quota of fans who will be attracted to the game as a direct result of the thrill-packed Bird-Tiger battle of 1930. The Gamecocks stepped out j in the first half to lead 14 to 0 by intermission, thanks to the clever running and- kicking of "Hap" Edens. "Hap" had come through swell with two placements after touchdowns in spite of a muddy and slippery field.' Sewanee came back nobly in the last half, keeping possession of the ball practically this entire period of play, carrying the fight to the Gamecocks all the way and keeping them backed against their own goal most of the time. Thanks to the failure of a placement, Carolina won, 14 to 13. p. >. o.
