first to report to Coa6h Enright
Pinhead, or James Bridges Hen
son off the gridiron, who shares the
,co-captaincy of the Gamecocks with
Rock Stroud, looked as fit as a
bass fiddle, and twice as muscular.
As he busied himself in the field
house trying on a new pair of foot
ball shoes, Henson told the sad tale
of an adventure strangled by red
tape.
- "You see, I've got an uncle who
lives in Tunisia, Africa . . . he's got
a rich plantation there. And, after
school closed last June, he invited
me to visit him. Well, I made ar
rangements to sail on a Norwegian
Steamer sailing from New York
on July 8th.
"When I got to the big city, I
found some difficulty in getting my
bassport okayed. You see I was
born in a rural section of Georgia
where they didn't keep such ac
curate records of the births. Well
it seems my passport couldn't be
arranged until they had this birth
question all settled to their satis
faction.
"However, by the time I wrote
and wired and so forth, and by the
time my passport was okayed, the
boat had sailed. I was one day too
late. And the next boat I could
take that would stop at Tunisia
sailed weeks later-too late,
though."

lantic, Henson made the rounds at
the World's Fair, Yankee stadium,
and Broadway. Then he returned
to Columbia where he spent the hot
summer' performing manual labor,
getting in shape for his final season
under the Bird banner.
And how was his physical con
dition?
"I think I'm going to have my
best season this fall. .My back mus
cles are in great shape, and couple
of days of running will bring my
legs around."
- It was recalled that Henson, in
the spring drills, displayed the
speed that made him a sophomore
sensation in 1936.
On the subject of journeys, it
was further noted that Henson al
most made the ultimate itinerary in
the summer of 1937. At high speed
two autos crashed. Henson narrow
ly escaped death. During the '37
gridiron campaign Henson nursed
a broken back, and wondered if his
football career had ended.
Time told a different tale. Hen
son did come back.
What kind of trip was Henson
planning now?
"I'm going to read Richard Hal
liburton to find out what I missed
this summer. But right now I'm
planning a couple of trips down the
field to pay dirt."

Hatkevich still leads the pigskin
parade at that post. Standing 6-1 in
his bare feet, Hatkevich covers this
large frame with 195 pounds.
WVhen the Enright regime took
over at South Carolina last year, he
was certainly glad to find Hatke
vich, who took to the Notre Dame
system like Hitler to Poland. When
Hatkevich turns and pulls out of
the line to lead the interference, the
backs shift into free wheeling to
keep pace.
Close behind Hatkevich is Joe
Patrone, the student of the team.

Hanna, who carries 186 pounds
on a 5 foot, 10 1-2 inch frame, cap
tained Ted Petoskey's 1938 fresh
man team which cooped the state
title.
The 175 pound Weir entered the
varsity Valhalla in a less spectacular
manner, having served -his appren
ticeship with the Bohunks last sea
son. But despite the obvious fact
the fans are not yet familliar with
his powers. Coach Enright is well
aware of the winsome Weir's
ability.
The Weir and Hanna combi
nation is almost as inseparable as
ham and eggs. Those fellow towns
men are always seen together on
the campus, in the classrooms, and
in the fieldhouse.
There should be some perfect
teamwork and coordination if the
Chester delegation take over the
guard positions.
But Hatkevich, Patrone, Norton,
and Kroto have their own views on
the situation.
knocks out would-be hostile tack
lers. Patrone, who is the running
mate of Hatkevich at the guard
posts, lacks the latter's tremendous
torso, but he is compensated with
aggressiveness, considered by many
gridiron experts as the most neces
sary asset in the game today.
Patrone's career reads like a dime
novel. Inconspicuous as a freshman,
he was on the third string at the
start of last season. But then in
November the leaves came down
and Patrone went up to the first
string. Patrone, a junior, exerts the
scales springs to 175 pounds and
has a 5 10% outlook on life.
The other member of this muscle
trio is sophomore Joe Krivonak. In
most of the scrimmages held lately
in the Gamecock camp, Krivonak
has held down a first string tackle
post, being the running mate of
Butcher Boy Granoff.
The Gamecock mentors like the
way Krivonak moves on the offense,
who when he bumps against the op
position employs 190 pounds distrib
uted in proper proportions on a 6-2
frame.
If Shakespeare would again ask,
'What's in a name?, Enright and his
corps would call out the answer.

son," Enright said. "I believe a
junior ball club is the best one.
They're a little raw and inexperi
enced as sophomores. But the next
year-their junior season-they hit
their peak. And then they usually
backslide as seniors. That doesn't
hold true for the individual players,
but I think it does for the team."
Then, Catfish Smith, who in the
line of his scouting duties had seen
Pittsburgh play Fordham last fall,
said: "Pittsburgh last season was a
good example of that. Practically
the whole team was composed of
seniors. And I don't think they
were as good-as a team-as they
were in 1937."
"The Four Horsemen at Notre
Dame were at their best in their
senior season," offered Ted
Twomey, a Rockne alumnus.
"Yes," said Enright, "But they
didn't play together as sophomores."
All agreed on that point, and at
this junction the conversation re
verted to Wake Forest.
"I hear this Polanski boy, a soph
omore, is really going to help Wake
Forest," DuPree said.
"Who said they needed any help,"
said the smiling Smith.
And so to the shower thc went
to wash away everything but their
pessimism. For still looming very
imminent were the Demon Deacons
of Wake Forest-demons who were
juniors.

The hatless fad, which was at its
height in '32 and '33, but which is
now definitely on the wane, was
neither new nor collegiate. It dated
back before the American Revolu

dies carried their hats in their hands
to avoid mussing their curled and
powdered wigs.
