ird P SPO] BY PAU Some Facts Concerning A $150,000 Loan Although at this writing the bill to allow the University of South Carolina to borrow $150,000 by floating bonds in the interest of the athletic situation is still in the sen ate, the chances are that the meas ure will pass. -However, several students have become alarmed over certain provisions of the bill regarding appropriation of the stu dent activities fee in regard to cur tailment of minor sports and other extra-curricula activities. The bill is no drastic measure, just a move which had to be ap proved by the legislature, whereby the University will be able to spread the payment of the present debt over a period of years instead of trying to wipe it out in a short time.. Student Activity Fee The provision causing most alarm is that pledging one-half of fhe student activity fee as security. Any student of economics will tell you that'to secure a loan one must have security and the S. A. fee is the security mentioned. Just as easily the bill could have provided that receipts from the Carolina Clemson game be used, but the' S. A. fee is more definite collateral. One-half of the student activities fee ($9.80 per year per student) has always been pledged to the athletic association and this is no change frnm ordinary proceedure. No Curtailment Instead of qurtailment of minor sports the athletic department will begin a program to emphasize them. To cite an exampie o one economy move the department in tends to make is the minor sports schedule for next spring. To avoid so many unnecessary trips such as the tennis team going to Charles ton on Tuesday, the' golf team on Wcdnesday and the baseball nine on Thursday, the schedule will be so arranged that all three teams go the same day in the same vehicle, thereby saving enormous transpor tation bills. Definitely, Carolina students, the trend in athletics at Carolina is up ward. We said it at the beginning of the semester and we repeat, be cause we have utmost confidence in Enrigh,t and Co. Personalia Dick' !4uhe-One of the fightin'est athletes in,South Carolina. At last week's . state track ;meet scored more points than anyone else, broke a state record, and theh literally ran his heart out in an attempt to win the final relay and the track meet for Carolina. He didn't win that race, but he won for himself the admiration of every man, wom an, and child there for his fighting spirit. "His first 100 yards of that final race was the fastest I ever saw a human go," remarked a track coach who was there. Ed Clary-Leading the Gamecock batting average with a stupendous .398 percen'tage. With a profes sional football contract already b)agged, is aiming for a diamond offer. Ed will go with "Rock" Stroud to play sembpro ball in San ford, N. C. if the pro scouts are slow in coming. I. B. Henson and' Lucius Henson Brothers and probably the best all around athletes in school. When LET US Handle your trunks and other baggage. Free pick up and delivery service.

Heytwrd Beler-Entered the state tennis tournament this week at Clinton. Although he may not win the tourney he will probably upset quite a lot of dope buskets.

An amazing thing these boys find time to go to school and stury aside from their other duties. Steve, a senior, will hand the job over to W. A. next year and no doubt "No Soap" will find his hands full. The thing we would like to see happen is for the boys to turn professional when they fin ish school and keep house for some Major stague baseball or football team.

Tigers Take Little Is Hil Clemson's roaring Tigers won the state track meet at Clinton last Wednesday, but spectators at the annual affair saw what Ed Camp, the Ole Timer of the Atl'nta Jour nal, called the "finest exhibiion of sportsmanship and intestinal forti tude I have had the pleasure of wit nessing." While the great majority of the crowd was unable to hear the South's most famous sports au thority, they'knew he was refering to Dick Little's record breaking days' work for the Garnet and Black. The Gamecock speedster won the 100 and 220 yard dashes and the 220 yard low hurdles, in addition to breaking the existing broad jump record with a leap of 22 feet 11 1-2 inches. It was a day of surprises with Dan Lambeth of Npwberry eclips ing state champion arry Craig in the shot put and then proceeding to win the high jump and pole vault to run second to Dick Little as.high scorer for the day. Lambeth, by his own exertions, annexed a third place in the track meet for his col lege, besides setting a new state shot put record at 48 feet 1 1-2 in ches. As was expected, Carolina and Clemson battled for the title, with the lead see-sawing each way as the tide turned back and forth. It wvas the long legs of Clemson's Cal houn that proved the deciding fac tor as the black-haired Tiger long distance was raced to a first place in the mile and two-mile runs. A speedy relay team, only a fraction of a second over the record time, put the meet on ice for the Tigers e r- -- "XCL,UU STOP BAGGAGE * Tcaa ane for "1 bother' whe.n vaatons Use this easy, economkcal RAILWAY E] cure - pre-tested by thousands of carefree glans: '(1) Pack everything carefully int, trunks, boxes and bags.

Lucius Henson, pitcher and quar terback for the Gamecocks, gave the fans a thrill by topping the 11 foot 9 inch mark on the pole vault, succumbing only Lambeth's 12 feet leap. It was the first time this state classic has been held during the afternoon, and a large crowd satis fied Coach Walter Johnson's change in schedule. That records would topple as the athletes had time to warm up underneath the burning afternoon sun, was the hope of track authorities who advo cated the change. -U. . C.

The entire varsity tennis team :omposed of Captain Randolph Bradham, Harold Prince, Courte ray Carson and Buck DuPre, in ad lition to Belser, has entered the tournament; but unless favored in he drawings, they will be long shots to win points for the Birds. The University has also entered two doubles teams; Belser is paired with DuPre, while the other couplet will probably be Prince and Brad ham. -u. a. 0. Brose And Co..
