Schedule
Of Games
Arranged
The 1937 intra-mural football season
under the direction of Jack Crawford,
director of physical education, opened
yesterday when the Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity played a team from tene
ments one and two on Melton. Un
fortunately the results of the game
came in too late for this issue as the
Gamecock presses were already rolling.
This afternoon's game features Phi
Beta Delta vs. tenements 9 and 10 with
the kickofi scheduled for 3:30 o'clock
at Melton. field.
The schedule for the games in the
immediate future follows:
November 19-Phi Beta Delta vs.
tenements 9 and 10.
November 22-Delta Sigma Phi vs.
tenements 16 and 17.
November 23-Sigma Nu vs. tene
ment 25.
Uniforms will be issued at 2 o'clock
of the day that the game is to be
played, Mr. Crawford said.
Last year the tournament died with
out being completed, due to a long de
lay in the start of the games and rain.
Lack of interest and the fact that it
ran into the time allotted to intra
mural basketball contributed to its un
successful end.
Much interest has been shown in the
tournament this year, some eighteen
or twenty teams being expected to
play. One of Mr. Crawford's physical
education classes will handle the of
ficiating at these games assuring good
service on this phase of the tourna
ment.
Method of awarding the trophies has
not been definitely been decided as yet,
but it is thought that the one out
standing player of the whole tourna
ment will receive a trophy while the
winning team's members will get
medais.
Rules for eligibility are the same as
always. No one who has participated
in football, freshman or varsity, here
or elsewhere, can play. Boys will have
to actually jive in the tenement to play
on that team. Same goes for fra
ternities. Only fraternity men can play
for a fraternity. The game against the
Middle Georgia college several weeks
ago will not affect the eligibility rule.

DeMars Calls
For Pugilists
With approximately twelve men re
porting, boxing workouts have started
in the University gymnasium under the
direction of Coach Frank DeMars.
Prospects point to a stronger team
than last year.
A private place to work out, fur
nished with modern equipment, is be
ing built in the basement of the gym
where the leather swingers will not be
hampered during early season training.
Five regulars of last year's team are
back this year and four of these,
Carleo, Colino, Polattie and Jenkins
are among those who are ow training
in the new quarters. Rex Williams
another of last year's pugilists will join
this quartette after football season.
Several sophomores and transfer
student including Calcock, Allen Le
gare, Jerry Hughes, Belser and Mc
Grady have also donned mittens along
wvith freshmen, Matthews, Rainwater
and Sol Blatt, Jr.
Although there are no matches
scheduled before Christmas, it takes a
long time to get into shape and Coach
D)eMars suggests that those who want
to box come out early.

Birds Lose
To Furman
Following their old custom of play
ing the best game of the season against
the University of South Carolina and
winning, the Furman Hurricane
blanked the Gamecocks, 12 to 0, before
five thousand spectators last Saturday
at University stadium.
Numerous times the Gamecocks
threatened only to lack the final punch
to carry the ball over the goal line.
They registered the better record in
yards gained, etc. but the scores were
missing. This loss drops the Game
cocks into cellar position in the big
four championship race.
First attempt to score was made by
Carolina by way of a field goal early
in the first quarter. Dearth's place
kick from the 30 fell short and Scott
took it from the end zone to the 20
to stop that threat. Five times later
in the game Carolina lost the ball on
downs when in possible scoring ter
ritory.
Best player on the field, perhaps, was
John Crews of Columbia, a substitute
sophomore end. Crews blocked two
Furman punts, caught three passes,
and played an all round good game.
Granoff and Burns flashed on the de
fense for the Gamecocks staving off
many a long gain by hard tackles.
June Scott, remembering the Caro
lina-Citadel game, kept the dangerous
Carolina safety men bottled up by
placing most of his kicks out of
bounds.
"The House of Magic" worked the
same play which defeated Clemson last
year for the first score. A twenty
yard punt returned and an eighteen
yard gain placed the ball on' the Caro
lina ten. It was fourth down when
Scott vent into left tackle, was stop
ped. Shetly racing from the other side
of the line got there in time to take
the ball which Scott held behind him
and rounded the left end for the score.
The drop kick for the point failed.

Carolina's final home game of the
season will be played tomorrow when
the Gamecocks face the Presbyterian
College Blue Stockings in the Univer
sity stadium at 2:30.
Neither team has a chance at the
state title, both having been defeated
by state teams. The Gamecocks will

William H. Harth, athletic director,
has announced special prices for the
last game. Reserved seat tickets will
be placed on sale at McGregor's Drug
Store at $1.45, with general admission
ducats selling for $.99.
Due to an unprecedented string of
injuries in the Gamecock camp, the
Birds have shown little of the form
of which they are capable. However,
Coach Don McCallister says that hL
is expecting a return to form this week,
and that he looks for his eleven to
bounce back off the ropes which they
have occupied for the past few games.
As dean of the South Carolina
coaches Walter Johnson has carved a
niche for himself in the minds of all
followers of sports. During his 2S
years of service at Presbyterian, his
teams have been consistently good, al
ways gaining the respect of all oppos.
ing elevens and more than holding their
own among schools of proportionate
size.
It will be the last home game that
the Gamecocks will play this year.
Catholic University will be met in
Washington Thanksgiving morning
and Miami U. in Miami, December 3.
