END ZONE BY RIOEARD piog Was It As Bad As It Seems Last Saturday the University of South Carolina Gamecocks brought inother football seaion to a close with a hard fought 7-6 win over the Aiami Hurricanes Nom the sunshine state. With this win the Game cocks ran their nu nler of victories to three for the year. Against these three wins the Birds have six losses and one tie game to show. In the six losses at least two games could have easily been ties or even wins. In the opener Wake Forest started the Birds' downfall with a 19-7 win, we did not have a chance to win this one, but the next week with Catholic University here, the Birds with any sort of offensive at all could have taken the Northern boys in. Villanova came next, it was 40-0. but with some organization on the part of the team this score could have eapily been kept down. A victory came the next week over the Davidson Wildcats, but the following week the roaring Bengals came to the fair and went away with first prize-this time 27-0. As usual the Birds bounced back at the Orangeburg encounter and tied a favored West Virginia team 6-6. Florida came next, and with the "November Offensiye" apparently starting to click, won this one 6-0, however this could not continue for the Purple Hurricanes from Furman took all the drive from the "Offensive" and with the Birds taking the place of the Salvation Army, gave the Hurricanes a 20-0 ball game. Georgia won the first really clean cut game from the Gamecocks with a smashing 33-7 win. Then with the senior members of the team out for a win in their last try the Birds took Miami. So after all, counting breaks, scholastic difficulties, schedule, and old man "jinx" the Birds are not as bad Ys people have painted them. So with a few parting words.to the gridders and coaches I just want to say, "Wait 'till next year". "Old Man Studies" Takes Boxing Prizes In an issue of The Gamecock a few weeks back there appeared a story to the effect that two of coach Frank DeMars' best fighters, Bog McCrady and Allen "Snag" Lagare, would not try for places on this year's team. After numerous requests by interested parties am to why they were not out their year make it necessary for me to give the lowdowns. Both Bob and "Snag" as every one knows, were the backbone of last year's teams emerging with Southern Conference championships to show for their work. But at the same time these two talented boxers were neglecting the most important thing in school, STUDIES. Legare, in Law School, and McCrady, in the School of Engi neering, have to carry schedules second to none at Carolina. With the entire morning taken up by classes and the afternoons by workouts there is little time left for scholastic work. It is a known fact-although both of these young men are intelligent students-that McCrady and Lagare barely got by enough work; to return to the University. So with their work continually piling up on them they deemed it necessary to either box or study-they took the only alternative. According to coach DeMars both men could, be persuaded to come out but he feels that the boys are here "to study dammit, and not to box". Campus Football Gets Into High Gear Wednesday afternoon, under the capable guidance of Director Jack Crawford, another intramural football session got under way with Kappa Alpha meeting Ph,ap Sigma. This tournament is the largest at the University and has no equal in the state. There will be approxi mately 18 teams entered with about two hundred and fifty men par ticipating. Being purely an amateur affair Mr. Crawford has carefully gone over the list of players with the hope of keeping "ringers" from getting into intramural play. If it can be arranged the winner of tl3ie championship here may be pitted against the winner of the Clemson Intramural program, or some other state school. All intramural games begin at 3:30 P. M.

"Butcher E All-State A Has Great Record In Football; All-State Soph And Senior Years By Jim McKinney Only once in a blue moon does a college football star graduate in three' and a half years. Several weeks ago two Columbia sports men, while fishing in Lake Murray, saw a full moon with a bluish cast, and now comes the news that Irvin Granoff will finish in February. The all-state tackle first matrici. lated at U. S. C. in September, 1038. Granoff, the famed "Butcher Boy from Brooklyn", does not know just what field of work he will in vade, but he will accept almost any position except a meat-market job. "I got enough of that when I was a kid working for the old man," said the big tackle. "I'd like to get a job as a salesman or an ac countant, if possible." Granoff's football career started at Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn. "Granny" gained his first pigskin recognition by making the New York City All-Scholastic eleven in 1935. Having conquered the Big City, Granoff turned South. He was an outstanding linesman on Petoskey's * Latest Popular RECORDS INTETLIGENT SERVICE R. E.

His outstanding per formances against all opponents earned him a tackle post on the Associated Press All-State Team. The hard charging linesman was out most of last season with an in jured shoulder and failed to make the all state grade. But he came back this year, and has again earned his berth on the mythical eleven. Last year, in spite of injury, Granoff was selected on the Jewish All-American football team with pass slingin' Sid Luckman of Co lumbia University, and the great Marshall Goldberg, Pittsburg's powerhouse back. The 1939 Jew ish All America eleven has not been named yet, but the Big Butcher is almost certain to rate a tackle slot when it does come out. Glory on the gridiron did not af fect Granoff's class work. The Butcher Boy merely used football as a means to get a college educa tion. He made the most of his op portunity, and is graduating in rec ord time with better than a "B" average.

End First Game In 6-To-6 Deadlock One of the largest intra mural football programs in the school's history started last Wednesday when the Phi Kap pa Sigs battled the K. A.'s to a 6-6 deadlock. The Phi Kaps were the first to score. After a drive of 75 yards Tricky Owens toted the ball into pay dirt. The K. A. score was soon to follow. After receiving the kick off Jeffery hit the line several times for no gain. Zimmerman, who re minded the several hundred fans of Tulane's mighty Don Zimmerman who starred in the Rose Bowl several seasons back, then tore around right end on a sixty yard trek that tied up the game. Neither team threatened during the next quarter but in the fourth period the Phi Kaps started another drive that had the ball on the three yard line when the final whistle blew. Thursday the Kappa Sigs and the Pi K.A.'s met in the last game of the week. There will be no games on Friday or Saturday. Uniforms will be issued at 2:30 p. m. on the day a team is to play. All games will start at 3:30 promptly. Outstanding contenders for the '39 crown include tenements 16 and 18 last year winners. The Sigma Nu team that was runner-up last year has added strength this year and will be in the running. Varsity team members will coach the various teams and the officials will be the members of the advanced gym class.
