Basket WOLFPA CK , BY F1VE-PO Greatly weakened by the loss of regular center, Torn Craig, who was admitted to the infirmary Wednesday afternoon with an attack of flu, Car- i olina basketeers came out on the short end of a 30 to 25 score in an engagement with N. C. State there Thursday night. This evens the count between the Gamecocks and Wolfpack, the former having downed the latter here earlier this season. It also brings the Bird's losses this cage term to a total of three, all of which have occurred on foreign soil. Only seven local boys made the trip. In Craig's absence, Henderson went center and Gooding Taylor manouvered the left forward postion. Ray Rex proved that his frequently attempted long shots here in the first tilt were not merely bluff by sinking them from all distances Thursday night to walk off with high scoring honors. He harvested 12 markers, four field goals and four charities. Dana Henderson was very effectively held in check, bu two opponents most of the time, who allowed him only one distance bag for the evening.

CAROLINA SPIRIT PLEASES COACH > McCallister Feels That Students and : IMayers Are Really s Backing Him "We are getting all the cooperation from the players, the student body and the faculty that one could deI sire," emphatically asserted Head l Coach Don McCallister, when asked how he liked his new coaching job at 1 Carolina. McCallister, who has been here but a few weeks, was interested and earn, est as he talked of football at the University. He was enthusiastic over the way boys were turning out for the team. He seemed especially i pleased that many men in the student body who had never played here before weer reporting for spring practice. "But it is not too late for more men to come out, McCallister added. "1 hardly know more than seven or eight of the fellows by name and everyone will stand the same chance. I want as many men to turn out as ' possible." Good team spirit, hard work and 1 strict training were stressed by the new football mentor. When asked 1 about prospects for next year he said J that Carolina's chances depended largely on having a team of men in 1 super-physical condition. 1 "I like the spirit of leadership Alexander is showing," said McAllis1 ter, speaking of Carolina's new captain, Bud Alexander. "The boys like him and are responding to his lead ' splendidly." When questioned about the stiff | daily routine of the team, Coach McAlister said that the hard work was just beginning. Practice scrimmage games are planned each Saturday in the Municipal Stadium and rigorous drills, especially in fundamentals, will 1 ' take up practice periods during the week. "I may not be able to make good football palyers out of all the boys," McCallister said in closing the interview, "but at least I can make real men out of them." I ?u. a. c.? CAMPUS TRAGEDY j J.

I Unas T -0 [ GAMECOCKS TO MEE1 CAROLINA CAGERS TOP STATE RACE AS TIGERS FALL Henderson Leads Scoring With 17 Points As Bird Quint Takes Bengals Into Camp In a thrilling game rivaled only by the Kentucky and Pitt games of former years the Carolina Gamecocks defeated the Clemson Tigers 38 to 30 Tuesday night, and climbed into the fore of the state basketball race. It was a close game up to the last minute of play and kept the packed house on its feet. Clemson took an early lead, but this was soon recovered by the Gamecocks and it was nip and tuck, with the score at the half 21 to 19 in favor of the Tigers. Both teams showed superb form and played some of the best basketball seen here in years. Henderson was the outstanding star of the game and let the scoring with 17 points, in spite of frequent ' attempts to box him. Laurie was second high scorer with 11 points and played one of the best games of his basketball career. Rowland led the Bird attack as floor man anrl showed even more than his usual skill in handling the ball. Gooding proved a constant threat at guard and made many spectacular shots. Tom Craig played a jam-up game at center, often dribbling the entire length of the floor to make a shot, scoring five of the Gamecock's total points. Dillard was the outstanding player for Clemson and led his team 1 in scoring with 10 points. Swails also showed up well, but the Gamecocks succeeded in boxing him up and de* nying him his expected leadership of the Tigers. Henry Woodward, Columbia boy, showed up well for Clemson and was the first man on either team i to score a goal.

Henderson guarded better than any man on either team and had an apt 1 eye for the basket. The closing minutes of the game saw the Gamecocks rise rapidly to a safe lead and i put the game on ice. i u. s. c.

Since two early season defeats at the hands of Maryland and Virginia, the Gamecocks have been mowing down their opponents with consistent regularity. North Carolina has yet to taste defeat this season, and ? has turned in large scores against some of the best teams in the conference.

Tonight's game will be the fourth this week for the Gamecocks. They played N. C. State there Thursday, and the Citadel in the Field House last night. Against the University of N.
