'P. C. LOSES
BUT CADETS
BEAT BIRDS
After losing 14 games in a row, the
Carolina basketball team stepped
briefly back into the win column Mon
day night with a 31-30 victory over
P. C. The game was a return match,
played in Clinton.
The Presbyterians led in the open
ing minutes of the game, but near the
end of the first half, South Carolina
nosed ahead to lead by one point at
the intermission.
The second period was close, with
both teams alternating in the lead.
The final whistle saw the Gamecocks
ahead by one point.
Waldrep of P. C. shot ten points
to lead the field in scoring. Wolfe
of Carolina was next with nine. Pet
ty of Carolina went out of the game on
personal fouls.
Birds Lose To Cadets
After breaking its losing streak by
winning a game over P. C. Monday
night, the Carolina basketball team
went back into its slump by losing to
the Citadel last night by a score of
37 to 27.
Unable to compete successfully with
the fast breaking and accurate pass
ing of the Citadel team, the Game
cocks trailed on the short end of the
score all of the game. The ball-hawk
ing Bulldogs were successful in break
ing up many of their opponents' passes
and attempts to shoot goals.
For the Gamecocks, Hutto led the
scoring with 10 points, while Bur
roughs of the Citadel led the scoring
for the whole game by racking up 15
points.
Captain Guy Lipscomb, who has
been absent from practice for two
weeks on account of illness, was back
in uniform last night, but did not
play. It is possible that he will not
participate in any more games this
year.

HARTH BIDS
FOR 1939
RING JOUSTS
Well-pleased with the support of
townspeople and studepts given the
boxing matches staged in the Univer
sity field house this season, Athletic
Director William H. Harth, planning
to accompany the boxers to the con
ference meet at the University of
- Maryland, College Park, next week
end, is planning to invite the 1939
Southern Conference tournament to
Columbia.
Mr. Harth, a member of the con
ference boxing committee, says that
the invitation will not be tendered un
til the conference heeting in Decem
ber, however.
Largest crowd to enter the field
house in many yeai's was that pres
ent at the Clemson-Carolina boxing
match two weeks ago, when practi
cally all available seats were filled to
capacity.
The official paid attendance that
night, according to figures released
this week, was 1,950. Of that num
Sber 650 were children and high school
-students. Carolina students were not
included in the total, which would
probably bring the number of specta
tors to approximately 3,500.
Gross gate receipts for the evening
were approximately $1,114, which after
expenses were deducted was divided
equally between the athletic depart
ments of the two schools.

As Season AI
Track practice continued this week :
at the University of South Carolina, to
with prospects for a top-notch team
growing dimmer each day.
It has been reported on good au- gri
thority that Dick Little, flashy dash rur
and broad jump man who was indi- foi
vidual high scorer at the last state
track meet, will not be out for the ha
team this year. The reason advanced
is that he is saving himself for his Th
senior year, when he hopes to compete wi
for national honors. he
Hugh Wilson, who last year topped T.
the hurdles in fast time, will also be du
absent from the lineup on account of
scholastic difficulties. Gene Robin
son, who it was hoped would run in Co
the dashes, will not be out this year, the
nor will Larry Craig. It is also doubt- tie
ful that Jack Lyon, former captain of t03
the grid team, will attempt to earn a wi
berth on the cinder squad. Ja.
The activities of Fletcher Spigner, tr2
Captain, will be curtailed this year by me
a bad knee. Spigner said that he wI
would probably be able to enter only cal
one or two events in each meet in- hiu
stead of the four which he partici- dic
pated in last year. Guy Lipscomb, al- -
ternate captain of the cinder team and
present captain of the basketball team,
may not be able to participate regu
larly if at all in the scheduled meets
this year, due to illness that has kept
him on the bench for the last two
weeks of the cage season. Lipscomb
was ordered by his physician to steer
clear of all exercise for two weeks or
more.
Last week Jack Crawford, director
of physical education and this year's
coach of the track team, said that the
track squad was particularly lacking
in distance runners. During the past
week several green men have been
working out on the track, but it is
too early yet to make any predictions
about their development.
