Fifty-odd men have turned- out so far and others are expected later in the season. McCallister announced to his men the second day out that football training would be a twelve-month affair at Carolina from now on. He wasted no time in plunging into the toutine drills, charging, blocking and tackling. Players started out on the first day with three laps am. field. On Wednesday they ran off the ield to the showers after 5 o'clock, haltingly. Large crowds of intersted Columbians are turning out every afternoon to watch Carolina's new coaching staff put the boys through their football paces. Repeatedly Pauley and the others have had to wave fans back off the playing area. All who come out arc impressed by the stiff routine the players are put through, the enthusiasm of coaches and men alike Terse commands from the mentors are obeyed with alacrity and there a snap and verve to blocking and charging not seen here in many a lay.

Head Coach McCallister could not ie reached as the Camecock went to press last night and so it could not be ascertained as to whom would coach the baseball team, but it is exexpected that one of his present assistants will be named to coach the diamond sport. f Carol DEPENDABLE Hank Gooding ?Courtesy Columbia Record. CAROLINA SPIRIT PLEASES COACH McCallister Feels That Students and Players Arc Really Hacking Him "We are getting all the cooperation from the players, the student body and the faculty that one could desire," emphatically asserted Head Coach Don McCallister, when asked how he liked his new coaching job at Carolina. McCallister, who has been here but a few weeks, was interested and earnest as he talked of football at the University. He was enthusiastic over the way boys were turning out for the team. He seemed especially 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. "I 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 strict training were stressed by the new football mentor. When asked about prospects for next year he said i that Carolina's chances depended largely on having a team of men in super-physical condition. "I like the spirit of leadership Alexander is showing," said McAllister, 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 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." u. b. o.?. CAMPUS TRAGEDY J.

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 and 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 playod 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. Dillartt was the outstanding player for Clemson and led his team j in scoring with 10 points. Swails also showed up well, but the Gamecocks succeeded in boxing him up and denying him his expected leadership of the Tigers. Henry Woodward, Columbia boy, showed up well for Clemson find was the first man on cither team ? to score a goal. Brown played a good ? but rough guard for Clemson, giving 1 the Gamecocks plenty of trouble < The Gamecocks showed a better I jassing attack than at any time this 1 season, serving to baffle Clemson. ] Carolina made no substitutions and 1 Clemson made many, constantly re- ] placing one man with a fresher one. Henderson guarded better than any ' man on either team and had an apt ( eye for the basket. The closing 1 minutes of the game saw the Game- ' cocks rise rapidly to a safe lead and 1 put the game on ice. < u. s. c.

Gamecocks Defend Two Year Record of No Defeats on Home Court. Carolina's Gamecock basketeers meet North Carolina in the Field House at 8:30 tonight in what is expected to be one of the season's most spectacular contests. The Tarheels have been undefeated this season and have a string of formidable victories. Both the Birds andlthe boys from Chapel Hill loom ' as contenders for the conference crown. Tonight's battle will be a deciding factor., A second record crowd within a week is expected, and tonight's tilt 1 should equal the Carolina-Clemson scrap last Tuesday for color and excitement. 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. Coach "Rock" Norman has been drilling his charges hard this week. They have developed a fast moving offense and the second string men rarely ever penetrate the varsity five's defense. 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. C. the Birds will bo defending their two-year record of no defeats on the home court. u. c. o.?Carolina Leads Race Tcam W L Sc. Pts.
