The winner will go to the Finger Bowl as o.e of the contesting teams. The game between the other two teams still in the tournament, Sig ma Nu fraternity and Tenements 9 & 10, will be played Monday af ternoon with the winner meeting the Winner of the Kappa Sigma Tenements 16 & 18 game. According to J. A. Crawford di rector of physical education, the championship game will be played on Friday, February 3, after exami nations are finished. Tenements 9 & 10 were allowed to get back into the tournament because of a ruling by Mr. Craw: ford. Tenements 9 & 10 were de feated in the first game by a strong team from Tenements 21 & 04;2. Tenements 21 & 242 were dis qualified for playing .a man that was ineligible and Tenements 9 & 10 allowed.to take,their place. Before the , tournament started, Mr. Crawford announced that the eligibility rules would be strictly enforced and has had a very suc cessful season because of that rul ing. No man is allowed to play who has ever participated in a col lege freshman or varsity game at the University or any other college. NettersElect Bradham As '39 Captain Randolph Bradham, of Columbia, was elected captain of this year's Carolina tennis team at a meeting of the returning lettermen .Monday afternoon. At the meeting the vet erans also re-elected Sam Price, of Oswego, N. Y., as manager of the squad. The netters also decided to have a meeting of all candidates for the varsity team early in February. At that meeting the players will be ranked accorditfg to their records; and after that time continuous com petition for the five singles posi tions and the two doubles berths will exist, according to Prof. W. Y. Wagener, Coach of the University netmen. "Although we will miss the ser vices of our three top-ranking play ers of last year, we expect to have a good team," Coach Wagener said. "Heyward Belser, whom I con sider one of the leading collegiate players in the state will strengthen our team a great deal. Also, Car son, Bradham, and Harold Prince should be stronger this year be cause of their experience," he added. The three players that he referred to as being missed were Williams, Lipscomb, and Bryan, who ranked first, second, and third on last year's team. Carolina's tennis team has over the last decade been the outstand ing net squad in South Carolina. With the exception of last year when P. C. won the state title, the Gamecock netters have copped the state title practically every year. Before last year the winner of the state title was determined by the percentage of matches won against state competition. How ever, last year the ruling was changed so that now the state championship is decided by a state tournament in which each team is awarded a certain number of points for each time one of its players advances a round. The points are graduated so that the winner of the tourney is practical ly sure to win the state title for his team. Results of the duel matches are disregarded as far as a championship is concerned. The team will probably open the season in a match with Duke on our courts, Wagener said. The season will begin the latter part of March and continue until the end of school. The schedule has not been completed yet; however, the team will probably play about twenty matches in all. In the past the netmen played every team in the state twice on a home and home basis. This custom will probably be adhered to this year. The team also plans to make a trip into Georgia or North Caro lina, Coach Wagener said. The squad this year is expected to include: Courtenay Carson, Ran dolph Bradham, Harold Prince, Bob Greenfield, and Sam Price as lettermen from last year's squad; Heyward Belser; Bob Doster, Buck DuPree, and Clarence Kibler, who 'were ineligible last year; and Pru itt Abrams, and George -Prince from last year's frosh team. -- .Us.

Both teams are high in Southeastern conference rank. The next collegd team to play at the field house, Presbyterian col lege, boasts a scrappy cage outfit composed to a large degree of sophomores and built around a lanky junior center, Giles Batche lor. The sharp-shooting star of the Blue Hose aggregation is Dick Meisky,' a fast sophomore forward. Lester Holden is another star Hose shot. Furman, like P. C., has a great little forward to throw at the Game cocks. He is -Pepper Martin, famed Purple football man and a'member of the 1936 American Legion base ball championship team of Spar tanburg. He together with Wilmot Spires, center, will give the Game cocks plenty of trouble. A summary .of th.e games to -'be played in the immediate future fol lows: Jan. 13-Citadel at Charleston.

Vols Swamp Bird Cagers University of South Carolina basketball team invaded the South eastern conference Monday night without Captain Tom Hutto and Tennessee's Volunteers immedi ately put a 44 to 18 plastering upon the hapless five. It was Carolina's fourth loss in as many starts. The Vols led by Wilton Putnam, push-shot artist from Greenville, S. C., limited the Gamecocks to only two field goals, both of which came in the last half. Juliani Hymson, sophomore guard who handled Hutto's position led the losing Carolina quintet in indi vidual scoring with a total of four points. The lineups: South Carolina (18) G F Pf. Tp.

Cl'ary, South Carolina's, star halfback, proved to be the outstand ing player for the 'defeated Rebels in the North-South football game, played in Birmingham, January 2. The first member of the Game cock squad ever to participate' in a post season all-star encounter, Clary quickly skyrocketed South Carolina's gridiron fame by distin guishing himself as' a real triple threat man. It was prnbhy his kicking abil ity which gained Clary his post on the South's stellar aggregation, and the eight thousand spectators, and his team mates did not go home disappointed. For one time, during the afternoon Ed booted a booming spira! into the Birmingham atmos phere and the pigskin finally came to rest on the turf. 72 yards from the point of the punt, and 61 yards from the line of scrimmage. This was. by far the longest kick of the game. Clary averaged well over forty yards from scrimmage, according to the compilation of non-vital sta tistics after the final whistle blew. The Second Earl of Gaffney also made the fans wonder if he really were Dave O'Brien in disguise. Ed successfully completed four out of five attempted forward passes, plact ing the Southerners within strik ing distance of the pay-dirt. tbe Gamecock halfback also toted the ball for good-sized gains, one time lugging the pigskin through the middle of line for 12 yards. Ed came back to Columbia full of praise for both elevens, cotn mending the clean, hard football exhibited, and mentioning, of course, that .tl-e North was lucky to win. "I know now," said Ed, "how the Southerners must have felt in 1865. The statistics show we outplayed the Yankees in almost every de partment, but we just couldn't push the ball across the .goal line. "We were outweighed about 10 pounds to the man. Don't get me wrong now, because I'm not knock ing those Northern boys. They are swell football players, and nice fel lows off the gridiron also. I got on the train at Greenville and met the Northern team coming down. We went to Birmingham together. Coach Carl Snavely, of Cornell, whom I met several years ago, in-. troduced me to most of the boys. And we became good friends quickly-that is until the game started." Clary rounds out his varsity ath letic career this spring, when he will captain and play left field for th.e state championship Gamecock nine. The stocky South Carolina ath lete, who graduates in June, will probably play professional football with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Smoky City eleven chose Clary in the post-season draft. According to many* of the leading sports scribes of the nation, any player chosen in the draft by a pro grid iron team can call himself an All American. -U. 5. 0.

Ring Team Wins First From Duke History repeated itself last Sat urday night in Durham, North Carolina, as the University of South Carolina boxing squad opened its season with a 6 to 2 victory over Duke University ringmen, the team that Carolina polished off last year in their opening match by an iden tical score. Co-captain Jerry Hughes, 165 pounds and Herbert Bostain, soph omore lightheavy, led the Game cock battlers by winning technical knockouts over their. respective op po ents. Hughes, typical "Joe Pa lod a", put his man to sleep one minute and twenty seconds after the second round, and Bostain put his man out of the running after one minute and ten seconds of the second stanza. Duke's two points were garnered as Carolina forfeited the 120 pound match and by a decision awaided to the Blue Devil captain Chuck Kasick over Lou Carleo in the lightweight division. Dick Baxter, 192-pound heavy weight, had little trouble winning a decision over 'Pete Brooks, Duke. Other .Gamecock scrappers who opened the season with winns were: Bob McCrady, 127; Allan ...egare, 155; and Sol Blatt, 145. McCrady, Bostain and Blatt boxed for the first time under Gameco.ck colors and were a big factor in Carolina's opening bid for a Southern conference cham pionship. The summary: 115-Forfeited to Duke. 125-Bob McCrady, South Caro lina, decision over Faison Jordan. 135-Captain Chuck Kasik, Duke, decision over Lou Carleo. 145-Sol Blatt, South Carolina, decision over Bob ("Smitty") Lit tle. -155-Allen Legare, South Caro lina, decision over Joe Gardner. 165-Jerry Hughes, South Caro lina, technieal knockout over Ed Morel.

The last game of the week saw a well balanced Sigma Nu team establish themselves as tourna ment favorites, by running rough shod over a hard fighting Tene. ment 25 eleven, defeating them 28-0. John Spigner, piston-legged back of the Sigma Nu team, led his team to victory with his deadly blocking and line plunging.
