Baseball, Tr SPORTscOops BY PAUL "SCOOP' LEAGUE The Seasons Come And' The Athletes Go Eligibility, monstrous foe of Carolina athletes, reared its ugly head again this week, with the result that Gamecock track and football stock dropped to a below parity value. Scholastic difficulties foiced Alex Urban, greatest fooball center to enroll here in a long time; Gus Hemphley, dynamic freshmen end, and Walter Carns,. sophomore 440-yard dash dhamp of the track squad, to discontinue any more athletic com petition this year. Urban and Hemphley will probably be forced to leave scho6l. Fate has stacked the cards you "beat Clemson" optimists. Every year our future in football hits a new high in January, but let the autumn months roll around and our hopes are gone with the Injury Jinx or the Eligibility Rule. "Carns," said Track Coach Dupree, "means the difference of about 12 points in dual track meets." How this publicity will alect the decisions. of men' slated J play football on Carolina's freshman teang next year we can not say. Al Grygo Leaves USC Says Columnist Brietz Al Grygo, says Sports Columnist Eddie Brietz, has departed the U. of South Carolina campus for his home in Erie, Pa. Just to bring Brietz up to minute on the record, we'd like to report that Grygo is just about on his way back to the Carolina cam pus. According to the way things look at present, Grygo will be back. In a recent letter to a Carolina student, Grygo told his reasons for leaving so abruptly and expressed the desire to -conmc back and "face the music and dance." Grygo, scintillat ing right-half back for Carolina, had some serious trouble at home and felt it best to leave school without causing any fuss or furbeloo. Now that has been cleared up and most likely he will take up his school work here in September. Girls Intercollegiate Sports Something To Talk About Abe ennell, sports editor of The State, wrote several articles some time ago about the matter of intercollegiate girls sports. It's a fine idea and the fact that it will work was shown some weeks ago when a quintet of Columbia College lassies came~over to our gymnasium and defeated the USC "Tri-Delts" in a close and thrilling game to watch. Outstanding fact, however, was that the game outdrew an ,intramural boxing show just across the street. With such girls, in our student body as Jane Crum, whom you'll read about elsewhere on this page, and tennis-playing Sarah Rushtori, Carolina would be ably represented girl sports.

To quote Mrs. Opal S. Hill, pro fessional woman golfer, Jane, who is only 17 now has a promising future on the links. Mrs. Hill saw Jane play in the recent Aiken Invitation tournament and commented that the slim South Carolinian had the form and ability to go far. Three years ago the youthful am ateur learned to play, and was coached by her father until six months ago when Melvin Hemphill. pro at For est Lake, took up the role of tutor. She holds the Orangeburg Women's title and is runner-up to the men's title-holder there. Interested in all sports, Jane is especially good at basketball and played this year with the Tri, Delta girls champions. In her high school days she was tennis champion one year. Swimming and horseback riding arc other sports that claim her attention. So interested is she in athletics that she has no time for the things that take up other girls' time, such as read O4 1?L12 Have ers MI irTo1im Free ite Woman4 Jan ing mois anigo ahby.
