Camb
Athletes Take
Rigid Reduction
Eighty-Eight Per Cent Pay Cut
Accepted By Varsity Men In
All Major Sports
Carolina sthletcs will rcceive 88 per
cent wage cuts for the coming year according
to action taken at a meeting
yesterday of the Athletic Conspiracy
Plank.
Only 50 football players, 30 baseball
men, and twenty track and basketball
stars will receive direct subsidy from now
on.
The football players' pay was reduced
from $200 per month to $10 per weekend.
This will no doubt stop the constant
flow of star athletes from Notre
Dame, Southern California, and other
small schools from coming to Carolina. It
may mean that some of the men will have
to join the Gigilo Club which action is
very abborent to our boys.
Basketball men will in the future receive
recompense at the rate of $1 per
basket. A bonus of $5 will be paid to
every gamecock who can foul his opponents
without being seen.
Tracksters will be paid on a distance
bases, $3 for the first lap and a dollar
extra for each additional lap. Coach
Nurmi declares this will induce some of
the Roosters to finish their races. It is
interesting to noat thct last year only
three Gamecocks ever placed in a meet.
This year it is hoped that at least ten
shall place.
Two bucks will go to every baseball
player for each hit he gets, and a line of
three stones will be levied for each error.
This is expected to be one of the biggest
sources of income to the athletic appartment,
since last year the hole teem
made twenty hits and 84 errors.
Boxers will receive two bits for each
left they connect, four bits for a right,
and a dollar for each foul, since the
spectators demand fouls. $10 will go to
any Carolina bug who finishes the whole
three rounds. Of course this provision
will not cost the company nothing.
There will be no tennis squad as everybody
has gone to playing ping pong. Fensing
has been discontinued because of the
expense on sewing up so many tome pants
seats. Coach Lilly Valley says if you
want to jump fenses go in your own
back yard.

perfectly ducky swimming match in th<

served during and between the quarter!
for the nominal sum of a quarter.
The Sigma Phcus arrayed in daring

J Mourns Leaving Moringtown
r- Maddogs To Smirch Record Of
Lovebirds This Spring
n Prospccts of Carolina's placing in the
- Richland County College Football League
f next year were given a great boost yesr
terday when I looey Are Smurchison
c signed a lifetime contract to coach the
r Lovebirds.
g Hooey is regarded as one of the best
0 coaches ever to instruct a high school
team and is expected to be just as good
at Carolina. Last year he led the Morningtown
Maddogs to third place in the
- Tri-state Valley Conference.
In accepting the new place he said:
t "I hated to leave dear old Morningtown
t but I just had to get away from my
wife. I admit I made a poor selection
s in choosing Carolina but no matter how
c lonsy the school is nor how sad the
I. athletic conditions here arc, I know we
1 will not lose as many games as the
f Lovebirds did under Lilly Valley.
* "1 he big reason behind this promise
p is that we will play only eight games
while previously we lost all fifteen.
"I make this open statement because
I am a notorious Bible scholar and a
J great admirer of Georgcous Swashing1
stein. Come up to see me sometime."
Smurchison's appointment me* with
1 great favor among the athletes. It is
1 widely known that he was largely in1
strumental in helping all the Morningtown
men to stay in school.
r, Schedules Soft
Avers Glosser
c ^
3 "Carolina will have a decent schedule
c in all sports the year after next," declares
. Doc. Raft Glosser, Misdirector of Stu.
dent Activeness.
e "Especially will the basketball squad
. face a higher class of opposition in 1936.
I didn't get them much of a schedule for
next year because I didn't want other
people to think we are trying to show
s off. Just wait until our good players arc
j all gone and I will show you what we
e can do."
e Listen to Grantlon Ricey: "South
? Kliner had one of the best bascetball
_ teams that her section of the state had
f seen in almost a year. Why, if they had
e played Tinclucky or Moter Flame this
year I have every confidence that they
? would have scored on at least one of the
i, ,wo"But
instead they just piddled around
South Kliner and didn't get nowhere".
Doctor Glosser says that next year the
y basketeers will meet Andersman, Guiltard,
Appalachson, and Mar/ill. He even
u ventures to say that lie believes they have
an outside chance of breaking even in the
;j four Contests.
? Next years track team will meet Lexingland
High in their only go of the year,
"The boys will have to run barfcet,"
Doctor Glosser ses, "since I have used up
all the money on a new automobile. Come
around I will take you for a spin sometime."

Love Birds Is
Varsity Name
"Lovebirds" will be the name of Carolina
athletic teams after this year. The
change was brought about on the recommendation
of several coaches, officials
and a few sports righters, who declared
that the representatives of this- school
were anything but Gamecocks.
"All our athletes arc sisseys and teahounds,"
avers coaches Lilly Valley and
' yim Sullyvan." Tag is their idea of a
real he-man game, and none of them
will cat their spinach."
The boxers absolutely refuse to assault
their opponents, prcfcring rather
to stand at ten paces and ring their
foe's nose with a smoke ring. This has
provoked Coach Reddie MiKoll to the
verge of exasperation since he cannot
handle even the flyweight under this
new system.
Touch football was unanimously ruled
off the athletic curriculum because the
doctors all testified that it was too strenuous
on the heart, and the slaps the
runners received on their backs left
big bruises.
Top-spinning has been added with
Sheik Milady as captain. Games will
be played with Peedinont and Rawlings.
Carolina may also get vengeance on
Pitsburg for the recent overwhelming
defeat they plastered on our lu-lpless
little boys, the ole mcanies.
Tri Melta
Pucks Dies
The Torrid Tartars (this is not a.tooth
paste add) of A. I). Pie and the Dazzling
Dames of 1812, pardon, of Melta Melta
Melta fought to a frozen finish in a
thrilling ice-hockey game last Saturday
on the rink around the rosy. (Pocket full
of posies?you know the old gag.)
Sizzling Sallie Bailey skidded a mean
puck, but "Hotcha" llarlcv proved too
much for the Melta demosielles. When
she puckered, boy, masculine moans shook
the rafters as the males yelled for more?
The Tri Melts blushed for shame and
secretly resolved to smooch up on their
puckering for next year.
At any rate the score was puck and
puck with two pucks to pucker (Who
said persimmon?) when Maigarct Cue
Soap-in-lathcr passed the puck what is
this, a game?) to "Madcap" Maxic
Gawker who slithered it into the net to
win by a puck for dear old A. D. Pie.
"Ice-hocky is great for us gals," panted
Lanky Lib Lcighton, captain of the A.
1). Pie's after the game, "It keeps us
prettily puckered for our dates."
1 his is a new sport for the weakening
sex at the University (I lockey, not puckering.)
hut it bids fair to put the long
established sport of necking on the bum
in short order.
