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. This then, our first appeal for action to be ta n, is
a(ldressed to the Women's A. A.
Short Scoops
An after-holiday review in sports. .. . Coach J. A. Crawford
ran off the intramural basketball and boxing program in fine
style even if he was interrupted at intervals by circumstances
beyond his control. . . . Note to Coach Rex Enright-approxi
miately 150 South Carolina high school athletes will perform
on Melton field next week during State high school week....
The golf team is meeting this week to organize the USC Golf
Association to include all of the men in sghool interested in the
sport. . . . Their first project is scheduled~ to be an Association
tournament. ... . Steve Nowak, brother of Stan Nowak, Game
cock gridder, came here twvo weeks ago on a visit to his brother
and has been here ever since-confined to a USC infirmary
bed with arthritis. . . . Steve is an Erie high school senior....
Whether the Southel-n conference boxing tohrney will be held
lhcre next year is ''uncertain.'' . . . A State basketball tourna
mnent is slated in the field house the week before the date of the
mitt tourney.

Promiising. St
Jane To Enter
Big Florida
Links Tourney
By Leola Garety
Presenting the rising w'omen's golf
champion: Jane Crum,' of Orange
burg and a freshman at the Univer
sity of South Carolina.
Jane Crum, protege of Melvin
Hemphill, who coached his sister
Katherine Hemphill to links fame,
will enter her third major golfing
tournament, the North and South
Carolina open, next Tuesday At. For
est Lake country club. Early in
May, Jane enters the Florida tourna
ments along with the top ranking
women golfers of the nation, Patty
Berg, Marion Miley, Helen Dett
weiler, Dorothy Kirby, Jane Coth
ran and Katherine Hemphill.
"Next year I'll be eligible for the
University varsity golf teang" ex
claimed the young player when inter
viewed. She has a burning ambition
to play vith the varsity and has been
told by officials that she may, which
probably will make her the first wom
an to ever play on a men's college
links team.
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
