Spring F Two Points Beats Tigers Extra Period Played Birds Take Measure Of Tradi. tional Foe In Thrilling Over time Match Carolina's basketeers defeated their traditional foes, the Clemson Tigers, by a score of 32 to 30 in a breathtak ing game in the Field House last Friday night. The game was tied at the end of the regulation period, and went overtime. Sharpshooting Tom Hutto opened the scoring by dropping in a foul shot, and then a field goal. Carolina made another field goal before Clemson started to turn loose their offensive. Then Clemson came up even, and in to the lead. Carolina evened up the score again, and a little later Clem son came back to pile up a lead of six points. At the half, the. Tigers held the long end of the count with the score at 13 to 12. In the second half, both sides cam< back fighting, and the lead swapped back and forth. As the time ran out and the score was still dangerously close, the fight- became desperate, with Clemson in the lead by one point as the timers clock showed two seconds to go. At this point Gi4y Lipscomb Carolina center, was fouled as he attempted to shoot. He made the first of the two foul shots, and th< game was tied' 28-all. In the extra period, Clemson weni into the lead with two foul goals, bul Simpson came back with a one handed shot from the sidelines to close the gap. Taylor dribbled in with another goal, and then the game was over. Spectators were constantly on theii .feet, shouting with excitement as the lead changed hands time after time. The game was important both it state and Conference competition. The win by the Gamecocks put then more firmly nn the top of the stat< ladder, and increased their chances of getting a bid to the Southern Con ference tournament to be held later in the season. For Clemson, Cheves led the scor. ing for both his team and for th< game with 15 points. Kitchens, a team mate, was close behind with 10 For Carolina, Hutto was first with 9 and James next with 8. Lipscomb made 7 points. Substitutes foP the Gamecocks in. cluded Simpson,, Henson, and Tabio. The Birds were somewhat hampered by the fact that they had just gottet over a long layoff during examinatiot week, and were not at their top forn for the game. Royal Cords Nose Out Bees '[he Royal Cords of Winnsboro de feated the varsity "B" team in th4 Field house last Saturday in an extr periodl contest by a score *of 25 tc 24. A\lthough the game was an. flounced as a "B" team contest, Coacl Petoskey sent in some of the regulart in the early part of the game. The game was tied at 22-all wher the final wvhistle blew, and in the extra time the visitors managed to put thre< points on their score, while the Birds could make only two. Th'le regulars played in the earl) minutes of the game, and gave th< reserves an eight point lead to starn with. Winnsboro pulled' up even however, by the end of the game. Collins of Winnsboro took the scor ing honors with eight points, and Ward, also of Winnsboro, came next with six, sharing second place withl Simpson of Carolina. Those who played for Carolina were Wolfe, Simpson, Crawford, Taylor, Tabor, Lipscomb, Henson, James, Cantey, Hutto, Timnmons, Martin, and Overton.

The outlook fo the following season was brightene< by the formidable performances of las years holdovers and the acquisition o the high stepping freshmen. The daily workouts will continue until th, end of February. The squad was segregated int< many groups, the punters, passers linesmen all going through their rou tine at different ends of the field. McCallister himself paid special at tention to the kicking department correcting the faults of Captain Jacl Lyons, Tommy Lonchar, Joe Wil liams, and Gene Robinson. This ag gregation was soon sending lonj spiraled boots sailing d'own the field. Coach Pauly tutored the heav linesmen in the fundamentals of th forward wall, while Red Snider wa busy at the far end of the gridiroi throwing bullet like passes to th< outstretched arms of the tall ends. Among the notable changes in th lineup are the shifting of Big Durhar from fullback to the guard positioi where lie is giving Shipwreck Kell; a run for his money, and the re vamping of Ed Stillwell from full back to end. One of the most improved' player is Ed Clary, who is again showin the form that prompted the expert to remark that he would repeat th stellar play of his immortal cousir Earl Clary. After making a gran start tt(y'a;w~ t L -O", J cr progress was halted by a bad ches injury. With the woutids healed, Clar is now expected to regain his plac among the star backs. Included among the freshman wh are giving promise of bolstering th attack are Red Snider and Hebe Stroud', the latter proving- to be th outstanding ball-carrier - t the sprin sessions. Harold Hartel is expecte to be a bulwark at the center pos tion. All in all the team appears to b coming along in great- shape, an< barring accidents, the coming seaso will find the Gamccocks a formidabl opponent for the top notch eleven of Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgi. the new additions to the schedule. A large number of players hav been excused from practice who at competing in track, boxing and ba! ketball. There will be a squad of 76 me when the regular practice session begin next faIl, predicted Coach M< Callister. The loss of Larry Craig who stoppe school to work with the highwa dlepartment wvill weaken one end o the Garnet and Black squad as we as the track squad on which lie wa an important asset. The team wvill l)e composed largel of juniors with 20 men from las year's freshman squad. Six seniors will be lost to the teat this season. They are Captain Bo Johnson, Alternate Captain and All state Paul Gaffney, Paul Robelo Fritz Turner, Curry Farnham, an Porcher Hop)kins. This year's team will be led b Captain Jack Lyons and alternat captain, Hasel Murray. Seniors on this year's squad are P Tobias, Rex Williams, Osgood Brair lett, Frank Polatti, Robert Stillwel Ed Stillwell, Roy Johnson, Don Ton lin, Bill Browni and Lewis Tabor. Three of the squad's most valuabi athletes, John Burns, Frank Kiss, an Harold Hlartell, are candidates for th pivot position. In their 1936 schedule, the Game cocks rolled up 100 points as con pared to 138 for their opponents an won five games while losing sever The freshman squad subdued all thei opponents except Clemson, taking 13 points as compared with 19 for th opposition.

Seven major'sports are list along with intra-mural competiti and co-ed athletics. A staff of eig r coaches are paid to develop the r; material into polished athletes.

Crawford, director of the 0 Department of Physical Education. The same system of play will be t followed as was last year and the year before. Each team will play from eight to ten games. Then, the eight teams with the best percentage will enter the actual tournament, to fight t until only the winner remains. n This system is the best for intra mural play yet seen in the opinion of Mr. Crawford. By allowing each team to play eight or ten games, everyone has a chance to get the _ benefit of keen contests conducted in a true spirit of sportsmanship. No boy is eligible to participate in these intra-mural games who has ever played in a varsity or freshman game at the University of South Carolina or any other school. Winner in 1936 and twice holders of the title are the galloping Sigma Nus from way down in Maxey Gregg. 4 They promise to defend their title stoutly this year. The plan for entrants -is the same as used for the ill-fated football tour nament, with one exception. Each of the new wings of Thornwell will have a team and will not combine as stated before. Other tenements will be allowed to combine in the following manner: tenements 1 and 2; 3, 4, and 5; 6 and 7; 9 and 10; 11 and 12; 14 and 15; 16 and 17; 1R and 19; 20 to 25; 26 and 27; 28 and 29. The fraternities, as usual, will be rep resented by teams. Later on in the year Mr. Crawford hopes to have contests in other sports. This active intra-mural system is to be helped out by the new system of physical check-ups being introduced by Mr. Crawford. All combine to further the aim of this department athletics for all students at Carolina. -U. s. C.
