On The SPORTSIDE By George Zuckerman Don McCallister Minus Pauley And Stamman Plus Patrick And X Ridiculous, in my opinion, was the outcome of the meeting hel Monday night at the University by the board which was chosen t< shape-or-warp-the football future of Carolina. Two weeks ago ] favored the retention of the entire coaching staff because I believec the "guilt" of the 1937 gridiron failure should not be placed or the shoulders of Frank Pauley and Carl Stamman. And I was 0 the opinion that the University did not have the funds to pay z "Carl Snavely" or any big-time coach. If they had left the stafl intact, this column would have no kick. But now I don't think the committee acted so wisely. And I believe Banjo Smith had the righi idea in his column, which appeared in the Columbia Record lasi Tuesday afternoon. To quote Mr. Smith: "There were only two things to do. On was to dismiss Coach McCallister and all of his men. The othei was to keep Coach McCallister and all of his men." The committee did neither. They bungled the situation. As far as I know, there is no record where the blame was shiftei on the assistants. Of course, there have been times where the heat coach has fired one of his aides; but when an outside group take: this power into their hands there is something wrong. If Harry Mehre had signed to coach Carolina he would havE brought his entire staff over from Georgia-because they were mer of his choosing. And Pauley and Stamman were men of McCallister'; choosing. If Pauley and Stamman failed, then McCallister failed If the board felt that McCallister was fit for the job, they shouk have kept Pauley and Stamman. Students And Alumni Do Not Accept Decision of Board A tetition was started on the campus last Wednesday-the day w< go to press--which stated that the committee reconsidered the mat ter and do either of two things: Retain McCallister and his formei assistants for next year; or (2) Dismiss the entire staff and obtair a new outfit altogether. This proves that the undergraduates are not satisfied with th outcome of matters. Also learned was the fact that some of the influential and pocket digging alumni are pretty sore about the outcome of the local situ ation. And they have made it evident that they plan to withdrav their support. Also peeved, about the matter is Ted Petoskey, who was rehirec at a salary some few hundred dollars less than that given to Franl! Patrick, the Pittsburgh fullback. What Patrick is going to do t< aid the football fortunes of Carolina is only conjecture. But it is a printed fact that Ted Petoskey coached the "best fresh man football team in the history of the school" to a state champion ship. And was mentor of the Gamecock quintet which last seasor also copped state honors. For these stellar performances Petoskey was given a paltry raise-which still falls very short of Fatrick' reported salary. Of course, I am aware that Petoskey works on a six month contract; while Patrick has a year round job. But if Petoskey i: dlissatisfied, he has a p)erfect right to be-in my opinion. The committee did very wrong by Mr. Petoskey. Bonus For McCallister: Gate For Pauley And Stamnman And speaking of raises we quote the lead of the front page stor: ap)pearing in Tuesday's Columbia Record on the front page-wvitl a by-line to Banjo Smith: "A sub-committee of the University o South Carolina's board of trustees almost fired D)on McCallister las night-then raised his salary $500." In the past it has been a p)ractice of giving bonuses wvhen person: performed more than was expected from them. But the committe upset p)recedent and gave Don McCallister a bonus-a few minute. after they were thinking of firing him-for not dloing his job well. And they fired Frank Pauley and Dutch Stamman-Because they dlidn't (10 their job well? At this moment I feel like repeating the inquiry of Pontius Pilate But I won't. The committee acted unwvisely. And it will probably have to ac again. I hope they do better in their repeat performance.

Appearing stronger than at any time in the past several years, Coach Frankie Demars is expecting his boys to offer stiff competition to the six teams already carded for matches begin ning January 8. The team, for the first time since the days of Harry \Volfe, appears to have a real heavyweight threat in Dick Baxter, ruggedi 189-pound sophomore, wtho copped intra-mural honors last year. Be fore entering the university Baxter earncd an impressive record as a high school and amateur boxer. Pushing him for varsity honors is Jack D)orflinger, rangy gridliron star, wvho gave Baxter a fit in their intra-mural tus sic last year. Jim Polattie, now tipping the beam at 179, is expected to give the team a re liable light-heavyweight. Filling the heavyweight spot last season, he showed promise andl should (o better against the lighter adversaries. Rex Wiliams, conference middle weight finalist, will have irst call on the - senior middlewight spot. hie is fast on his 1eet, can punch hard wi either hand, and has a d-eadly jab which constantly iorres opponents. The junior midd leweight spot is wid e open with Jerry Hughes, letterman, ap pearing to have the inside track, but Fritz PHARMACY HAS NEW G Below is D)ean R. T1. Motley of the school of pharmacy, one of the most rapidly growing divisions of the Uni versity. When D)ean Motley caime to Carolina in 1924, there were only 12 students in that school. Today there Iare 68. The p)harmiacy' school, wvhich is one L of 54 schools in the United States, and the only school of its kind in the state to hold membership in the American Association of Schools of pharmacy, has increased 11 per cent. in enrollment over last year. Dr. Motley stated that graduates of the school of pharmacy have little trouble in obtaining jobs after gradua tion. "In fact," lie said "graduates are usuially offered jobs before they get CDLUMBUA SPECIAL RATE IF THEY LEAVE THEIR Li BY 12 O'CLO( 1323 Ta.ylor Street EAT BLI ER MAI ra Assistant mu. 11 *i9 t coach for the University, is ig brought to Carolina for a year. pects Are Years Turner, a hard puncher, and Frank Sos saman are right in the thick of things. Allen Legare, a sophomore, is showing real promise as a welterweight. If his development continues, he is expected to be near the top before the year is over. The lightweight division is well forti lied with speedy Lou Carleo to do the gv'."ng and taking. Carleo, a junior, won scraps over outstanding oppnnnts last season and is now expected to be a con ference threat. Frank Jenkins, national intercollegiate finalist as a bantamweight last spring, will light in the 129 division, which likely will cause rejoicing among the bantams of the conference. Frank, a combination of speed, shiftiness, punch, defense and most of the other essentials of the best, won the conference title hands down and then lost a close decision in the national finals. Gilbert Colina, who fought as feather weight, has trained down to fill the ban tam spot of Jenkins. Colina should find this weight more to his liking and should win a number of bouts. The schedule follows January 8-Duke in Columbia. January 15-N. C. State in Columbia. Fehruary i-Presbyterian college in Columbia. February 5-Clemson college in Co Iumbia. February 12-Georgia in Columbia. February 18-Citadel in Charleston. SCHOOL ROWTH their dliplomas, and certainly by the time they have passed their state board examinations." Most of the graduates in this field hav'e entered retail work as prescrip tionists, managers, or owvners of drug stores. Some hold positions with large manufacturing concerns, others are teaching, and others are studying medi cine, Dr. Motley said. Trhe school of pharmacy was estab lished by the legislature in 1865, and reestablished in 1924 after it had been dliscontinued for two periodls. In 1924 D)r. Motley was the only teacher in the school of pharmacy. Later Dr. Barney Heyward taught. Today there are three p)rofessors who teach phar macy exclusively-D)r. Motley, Dr. R. W. Morrison, andI Prof. \V. D). Strother. An imp)ortant service maintainedl by the school of pharmacy is the student health dispensary. D)r. Morrison does all the prescription work for the In fi rmary. An active organization of pharmacy students is the Carolina Pharmaceutical society, open to all students in the pharmacy school. Meetings of the club are held periodically, and papers, talks, are presented on topics of cur rent interest in this field. Dr. Motley said that moving picture films on the subject had also been pro cured for presentation to the society. For the meeting of Jan. 5, two films on "Malaria" and "Modern Methods of Anasthesia" are scheduled.

Center Jump Rule Speeds Basketball With the abolition of the center tip in basketball in this section of the coun try, fans are seeimr faster, more exciting basketball. The new rule was designed primarily to speed uip the game: secondarily, to take undlue adlvantage from the team fortunate enough to have a tall center. Whbile it accomplishes these putrposes. it also makes it necessary for the players to keep in better physical condition.

I)uke opened the scoring, but All State Ilutto took command of the situ ation and the Gamecocks took the lead. At the half the score stood 22 to 18 in favor of the P'etoskeymen. South Carolina kept a small lead throughout the second half, the Game cock long shots keeping the margin on the right side of the ledger. Bill Simpson, forward, was injured in the last half and retired from the game. Between the halves Lyn Edwards, uni versity co-ed entertained the large crowd by tap-dancing away the minutes. MAROON LOSE 41-18 Paced by All-State Tom Ilutto, Oliver Volfe, and Alternate Captain Bill Simp son, the University of South Carolina basketball team opened their ambitious twenty-four game schedule last Satur day night with a 41-18 victory over the Maroon cagers of College of Charleston. Ilutto scored 12 points to take point honors for the evening but the speedy Carolina guard was crowded by Ollie \Volfe and Bill Simpson, both forwards, who scored 11 and 10 points respectively. The game was never in doubt with the Gamecocks moving into a substantial lead at the half and adding to that score in a free-scoring final period. Captain Guy Lip.comb did not play due to a severe cold. ROANOKE WIN 31-27 In the second game of the season, Roanoke College nosed out a fighting Gamecock outlit by the score of 31-27 in a thrilling lastminute battle that kept the crowd on its feet. Roanoke was smooth and fast and worked through the Game cock defense often enough to keen the tiirds constantly in the rear. The Gamecocks kept the score tied at 18-18 at the half but were held scoreless for over twelve minuts of the second half while the Roanoke cagers tossed in ten points. Last minute hawkers by Tom Ilutto and two tap shots by Alexander and IJpscomh nut th 1t;r,s back in the running and the Carolina captain calmly tossed in a free throw to bring the score to 27-28 with alout a half minute to play. Rice, high scoring forward on the visi tor's team managed finally to break through the desperate Bird defense and drop in a one-handed shot for the win ning point. A free throw brought the score to 31-27 for Roanoke. --u. e. o. longer do they have a "breathing spell" after a field goal has been made. The rule changing the center-jump is the m' ost important and interesting change made in this youngest major col legiate sport since the rule makers tabood the pivot play and restricted the offense from remaining too long in the foul circle. -L.
