Twenty-four games including battles with Duke, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Georgia, Roanoke, Marshall, and Clemson will see the Gamecocks playing on an average of once every second day throughout the month of February. Coach Ted Petoskey has not been able to name a starting lineup as yet. The Michigan All-American football end, who shoots for his second suc cessive state basketball title this year, said that no player would be able to go the full forty minutes of a basket ball game under the fast-break system used by the Gamecocks. "The new rule, abolishing the center jump ex cept at the opening of the game and the half, will speed up the game trc iendously," said Petoskev. "Add to this the speed of a fast-break system B and you realize the necessity for a large C squad." added the Gamecock mentor. A large part of the success of the a 1936 edition of Basketeers was the - work of a pair of fast-moving, sharp shooting guards, in the persons of Tom Hutto and Captain Bernard James. Graduation took James from the squad and a new and competent ball-handler will be needed to match the versatile all-state Ton IHutto, in the back court. As the guards do the majority of the difficult work under the fast-break sys tem, Petoskey trains all of his men to play this position and' all others on the floor. By concentrating largely on defensive tactics Petoskey hopes to hold his opponents to low scores, while his ball players find the hoop with multiple plays and long-range shoot ing. The Birds have been scrimmaging every night this week in preparation for Charleston's invasion on Saturday night. '!'he Gamecocks looked ragged in the opening practices of the week but much of their awkwardness must be charged to delay in the installation 'f the new askcts and backboard. the late arrival of a 1s percen.ntage of ti,. squad and the number of star per formers who have been on the sick and injuredI list. Alternate Captain 13ill Simpson, heavy-set forward on last .year's quintet has been nursing an injured knee since the Carolina to play on Saturday. Twenty-one players have reported for practice thus far this season. Cap tam Guy Lipscomb, Tom Iutto, Gene Alexander, Archie Petty, and Oliver \\'olfe have been performing as one team due to the presence of the three veterans, Volfe, Lipscomb, and Hutto, and this qtintet will probably open the first game with substitution being fre (ment and numerous. Alternate Captain Bill Simpson, Bill Overton, George Ka nuck, 1lolnes lleazer, Carl Simpson, I .erlert Iostain, Louis Brvan, J. '. lhggs, Red Snider, Rex \\'illiams, I)ick I.ittie, Johnny TurnbulI, lit IDurham, I,ucius IIenson, George Coleman, and Charles (hens, are also working out on the Carolina squad. --c. S. 0.

RUMOR Old man Rumor--and the Atlan-. ta Journal-both have it that the Patrick brothers are Carolina bound. The Patrick brothers are --John, head football coach at Oglethorpe University for the past few years, and Frank, star Pitts burg fullback this season. The Journal said that a confer ence was held a few days ago in Columbia between the Patricks and the South Carolina authorities. They may be signed as assistants to Head Coach Don McCallister. The brothers came to Columbia because they had heard that there were openings in the Carolina coaching staff. John Patrick re cently signed a new one-year con tract at Oglethorpe at a salary in crease. "There is nn obstacle in the way of Frank's acceptance of the job," the Journal said, "and it is very likely that he may serve as backfield coach at South Caro lina." The brothers conferred with the special committee on the athletic situation but no details were re vealed. 1 oc STRAND 15c MONDAY - TUESDAY "HIT PARADE" - WITH - FRANCES LANGFORD - PHIL REGAN WEDNESDAY "ARMORED CAR" With ROBERT WILCOX - JUDITH BARRETT THURSDAY "PICK A STAR" PATSY KELLY AND JACK HALEY FRIDAY Old ma Rmoand the Lan-E "gThre Universtd foShefs" burng fuac th s sadeaon aTh ae Jouna(o said ihayoa're nfea - Columbitat' etwelen th Ptrsand bOWcausnhyd eard sothatnger waere pkags frpincte Caoina icoiaing saff. ohn youricknre cetl sind .85oeyarcn trcta Olthre tMaAy in cras."Ter s noTcE i th wy f ra YsARDEpneo th j~,"te ornsai, an itisvey iklyTaOema ev asbakfed oahSouthCaro lina."
