Head Coach McCallister and his assistants

are pushing their spring candidates
plenty hard on fundamentals
and exercises. 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.

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

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."

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 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

to score a goal. Brown played a good ?

scrap last Tuesday for color and excitement.
Since two early season defeats
at the hands of Maryland and
Virginia, the Gamecocks have been
