Stars Of Te Past When anyone starts thinking of the great football players at the University >f South Car'.'!lna, one name comne nstantly to his mind-arl Clary. Clary is undoubtedly the best back 'vcr seen at Carolina, and many hail im as the best all-around player in the history of South Carolina football. Playing with Gaffney IHigh School, i school which has produced many of South Carolina's football greats, the "Galloping Ghost" was largely respon +ible for several State championships won by his school. He earned a place cm the All-Southern i gh School Lleven three years. The Southern Con ference then included all the States wvhich now comprise the Southeastern Con ference. Although Chary received offers from a number of large universities after his gradluation from high school, he (Ie cidled to come to Carolina. As a memn h)er of the 1930o freshman team, lie twistedl and squirmedl his way through very team lie p)layedl against. As a sophomore, Clary kept on run ning wild. Playing sensationally, lhe led his team to a State championship. F~urman and Clemson were humbled by the Gamecocks, led by the "Galloping Ghost." However, the next year failed :o fulfill the expectations of the Caro ina fans. D)issension and lack of co ~rdination retarded the progress of the eami. F.ven Clary, heretofore regarded ms invincible, did not seenm to comec up o par. Only onue crumb of comfort vas allowed the Carolina fans. The ?amiecocks tiedl Auburn in a wvhirlwind inish of a mediocre season. In this samie Clary crossed Auburn's goal line wvice andl gained more yardage than lie whole Auburn teami. The "Gaffney Ghost" started off at a ast clip his senior year, and surpassed tIl his previous perforniances. He was lected co-captain of the teanm, and uin Ier his leadership, the Gamecocks tied ?urman for the State championship nid dhefeatedl Auburn in their final ~ame. Three times Chary was given a place mn the Associated Press All-State. His enior year found him in first rank on lie All-Southern Conference eleven mdu wvith honorable miention for the \ Il-American.

The qualifying rounds will probably consist of thirty-six holes of medal play, with the low eight qualifiers com prising the squad. Practice rounds and all matches will be played either at Ridgewood or Forest Lake Country Clubs, and efforts are now being made to secure permission for the students to use the courses. There were very few members on the squad last year but in spite of this handicap, the team made an excellent showing and was runner-up for the State championship honors. The fresh man golf team was the undisputed champion of the State, and should add greatly to the strength of this year's varsity squad. Lettermen who are back from last year's team are Captain Crawford White, Bob Leahy and Robert Bruner. Prospects for this year are: Leland Dc Loach, Pinecrest champion, Richard Allison, Pat Tobias, former City and Richland county champion. Heyward Fouche, and Jack Ilollaway, Prep School champion from Toledo, Ohio. With this excellent material a State championship team should be possible. Coach Don McCallister is very inter ested in the team, and will prabably direct the boys activities. Coach Mc Cailister himself is quite a golfer, hav ing won quite a number of golf tourna ments. ---U. ". a.

M., Saturday night at the Uni versity field house. Carolina's fighters will enter this fray with one battle tucked under their belts. In a specially scheduled bout, they were badly defeated by the Duke mittmen 6-2. However, two of the Devils' victories came by way of the forfeit route. Led by Danny Farrar, national Gol den Glove champion, and Al Mann, Southern Conference 165 pound title holder, the visiting warriors made short work of the inexperienced Gamecocks. All of the Duke pugs won by technical knockouts. Frank Jenkins and Lorenzo Taylor presented Carolina with the two lone victories. Coach DeMars revealed that he would probably send the same team against the Tarheels that he did against Duke. There is a possibility that Sammy Cartledge will replace Gilbert Colina in the lightweight division. The squad is in good shape with no one on the injury list. Coach DeMars is polishing up his fighters this week with the usual daily workouts in the ring. - 17U. ".o.

"Practice will continue for eight or ten weeks, ac cording to the development of the players," Don McCallister yesterday. Wrestling and daily workouts in the gy m have kept the gridders in shape for practice. About seventy men are expected to report for training which will stress the fuidaientais, especially kicking and passing.
