Three Veterans Back I
With Many Newcomex
With four weeks of work be
ing team, under the direction o
idly taking shape for the first 1
Blue Devils, in the field house
Returning from last year's statel
champion team will be three letter
men who are expected to form the
nucleus for the 1940 team. Sol Blatt,
Jr., who last year fought 154-lb, is
expected to fill the spot vacated by
larrupin' Lou Carleo, 135-If man,
with Willis Beall, man-of-all-weights
last year having the edge on other
candidates in the middle weights.
Beall can fight either 145-lb or 155-lb.
Baxter Back To Help
The other veteran out is Captain
Dick Baxter, heavy man of the squad.
Dick has been the ranking heavy
weight in the conference for two
years, but has had the misfortune of
missing the Southern conference
tourney both his sophomore and
junior years. When a sophomore,
Baxter broke his hand a few weeks
before the tournament, and last year
an attack of flu kept him out of con
ference competition.
The other lettermen of the team,
Bob McCrady, Snag Legare, and
Herb Bostain have either gone down
before the "scholastic ax" or ineligi
bility rulings. Both McCrady and
Legare won conference titles in their
respective weights last year. Lou
Carleo graduated in June, and Hey
ward Belser, with the advice of a
physician, will not fight this year.
Pienty Material For Lightweights
However, a wealth of material are
out to fill the spots vacated by grada
tion and ineligibility. In the 120-lb
class Carolina has easily the best
prospect since the days of Frankie
Jenkins. In Olin McDonald, Coach
DeMars has a man that can furnish
competition for the best in the con
ference. In drills, McDonald has
shown the fight and qualities of a
fighter and appears to be in tip-top
condition for the first match.
In the 127-lb class the intramural
finalist are fighting it out for the
starting assignment. Clinton Christ
mas, the intramural winner, and Ar
thur Fischer, the runner-up, both look
like "finds", but Fischer has a slight
edge physically due to the recent ill
ness of Christmas. Jimmy Harrel
son, who fought 120-lb last year is
also working in this weight.
Fighting it out with Sol Blatt for
the 135-lb division is Jimmy Gallo
way, tall, loose jointed junior. Al
though lacking the experience of
Blatt, Galloway looks like a comer,
and should give Blatt some serious
competition.
In the 145-Ib, and 155-lb class sev
eral men are working out but it ap
pears that Harry Loftin, a slugging
two-fisted pack of dlynamite, Mahon
Myers, a newcomer, and Willis Beall,
a veteran, have the qualities for these
two weights.
Newcomers Out For Lightheavy
Shag McCarter is the only man
out for the 165-lb weight, while Red
Turnbull and Louis Sossaman, both
gridders, are working out for the
175-lb slot. Dick Baxter has the
heavyweight division to himself and
should take care of it without any
serious trouble from anyone.
The Gamecocks have until after
Christmas to tune up for their first
fight with Duke. Last year the
Gamecock charges went to the Blue
Devils' den and came out with a
6 to 2 win.
The schedule:
Jan. 6--Duke-Here.
Jan. 13-Florida--Gainesville, Fla.
Jan. 27-N. C. State-Here.
Feb. 3-Clemson-Here.
Feb. 10-Georgia-Here.

Introduced To
Intramural Competition
Jack' Crawford, director of
physical education, announced
that all intramural sports that
were halted two weeks ago by
Dr. J. Rion McKissick because
of the flu epidemic at the Uni
versity will start where they
left of immediately following
the Christmas holidays.
Intramural football that is now
exactly where it was when the
tournament started, except for to
ties and a broken arm, will start
over with the same schedule that
was announced by Mr. Crawford at
the beginning of the tournament.
The K. A. team battled to a 6-6
deadlock with the Phi Kappa Sigs
in the opening game and the next
game saw the Kappa Sigs and Pi
K. A. run up and down the field,
failing to score and ending 0-0.
Seven Events Remain in Track
Track saw an early end, running
....l.. twdAy. SQx of the thirteen
events were run off. The S.A.E.'s
forged ahead of the defending
champs, the Sigma Nu's, amassing
21 points. Lang Long and Jerry
Hughes were the leading team's
chief threats and promise stiff op
position in the coming meet.
The handball tournament is
scheduled to begin two weeks after
Christmas holidays. Several teams
have always entered and the list is
expected to have several other
teams added before the tournament
starts.
The first intramural swimming
meet of the- University will start at
the same time as the handball elim
ination with several of the school's
outstanding swimmers setting a
pace that will be hard for an inex
perienced man to compete with, and
the veterans will be giving each
other stiff competition before the
medals and honors are awarded.
Badminton Equipment Available at
Gym
Badminton, recently introduced at
Gal 2 Page Six Gamecock .... AWP
Carolina, seems to have gotten a
hold on the campus and is spread
ing among the students like wild
fire. Full equipment for the game
is available at the gym and students
are invited to come over and try out
the new sport.,
Final Play In
Ping-Pong Today
Billy Rogers and Roy Dennis will
meet in the final round of the Stu
dent Union ping-pong tournament
this evening at 4 o'clock.
Dennis and Rogers advanced into
the final round by hotly contested
victories over Ralph Friedman and
Bernie Bass. The two finalists are
the only survivors of a field of 32
contestants, so today's match should
provide plenty of ping-pong.

Ex-Pugs Hold
Special Home
Coming Day
Willard, Only Two
Time Conference King,
Visits Gymnasium
By Elliott "Slug" McCants
Every so often, there are home
coming days at colleges. The gym
nasium at the University of South
Carolina also has its home-coming
days. This is noted by the number
of old pugs who return to their
stamping grounds.
The most famous of these ex
champions to retrace his footsteps to
the training room is Henry Willard,
the only two-time Southern Confer
ence of the middle-weight crown.
Hefry fiugt for the (meencks in
1932-33. He is selling insurance now.
One of the most consistent visitors
to the gym is former heavyweight
Bob Brown, who was a member of
the squads of 1934-35. Though not
a champion, Bob was certainly one of
the spunkiest boxers to fight for the
University. He is associated with the
state health department at the present
time.
There have also been some more
recent ex-boxers who have come back
to watch the boys work as they once
did in the not so dim past.
Among these are: Jerry Hughes,
now in the University Law School;
Lou Carleo, who is married and
working in the highway department ;
and last year's Southern Conference
winners, Allan "Snag" LeGare and
Bob McCrady, both of whom are
attending the University.
Naturally, the first thought of these
men is to see Frank DeMars, who is
entering into his ninth season as coach
of the Gamecocks leather-pushers.
When the old pugs get together, they
always have a lot of fun swapping
tables of former times and other
champions.
Pope CaNs Mermaids
A women's swimming meet fea
turing diving, free style swimming,
back stroke, and breast stroke is to
be held by the University of South
Carolina within the next three weeks.
Any girl in the University who wish
es to enter is asked to see Miss
Nancy Pope, who is in charge or
either of the chairmen, who are Miss
Bessie King and Sarah Rushton.
Practices begin today at the Univer
sity swimming pool. Miss King says,
"the girls seem very entbusiastic."

Burley Hanna
Has Secret
Passion-Music
"Zip" Harmonizes
Voices On Favorite
Songs, Belt As Baton
By Joe Kirby
"Zip" Hanna, burly sophomore
gridder at the University of South
Carolina, has a secret passion, name
ly-music.
Unlike most great music lovers,
Hanna does not care for the classics,
jazz, swing, or what have you.
The only field of musical endeavor
in which "Zip" is interested is the
blending of untrained freshman voices
in song. And unlike most great ar
tists he plays only one instrument
a belt, with which he punctuates each
discordant stanza that his reluctant
choristers emit.
His favorite tune is the Carolina
Alma Mater upon which he flays
great stress. In less time than it
takes Clemson to score on the Game
cocks, he can whip (and I do mean
literally) together a glee club that
rivals Fred Waring's.
From his studio in Tenement 21
comes word that his freshman "ton
sil team" is coming along steadily and
that he is planning a tour of the ten
ements sometime during the Yuletide
season. Hanna, who terms himself
an "artist", is justly proud of his ed
ucative efforts and extends a cordial
invitation to drop around and hear
his - charges respond to the magic
touch of his leather baton.

Northern Teams Seek
Games With Carolina
On Southern Tour
"Will Give Yankees
Much Better Time Than
Last Year" Wagner .
Letters from Rutgers University,
Hamilton College and other big
northern schools have already been
received by University of South
Carolina tennis coach, "Dutch"
Wagener, seeking a date on the 1940
schedule of the Gamecock tennis
team.
These northern teams annually
make a trip through southern terri
tory in the spring of the year and
play southern college tennis squads
all along their route.
Last season Carolina's racket-men
played Albright and Ohio Univer
sity among others of the northern in
vaders.
"This year we may be able to give
the Yankees a much better time of
it than they saw last year, however,"
Coach Wagener said.
Tumbling Team Ready
For Gym Exhibitions
Candidates Show Up
Well Before Crawford
As his men went through the in
tricate maneuvers of the "giant
swing", J. A. Crawford, director of
physical education at the University
of South Carolina, stepped back, sur
veyed his tumbling and gymnastics
class, and said proudly, "They look
pretty good, don't they?" ,
They did look good with a cap
ital "G". In fact the class that
started work just two months ago
looked like they are ready to go on
exhibition even now.
"I'm just teaching them the basic
fundamentals right now but later on
I expect to have my men in shape to
put on a really good exhibition before
an audience," Crawford declared.
The tumblers may put on an exhi
bition between halves of Carolina's
basketball games during the approach
ing season, Crawford added.
Jersey, is known as the "fairy god
mother" of the University art de
partment because of the many val
uable contributions she has made.
This time, Miss Dixon has sent
three tanagra figurines to that de
partment as a memorial to her an
cestor, Anthony Hampton.

Enright Swaps
For Tux In Bar
Carolina's Head Coa
Address At Quarterba
Going from football 'togs to*
tuxedo, coach Enright opened
up his annual banquet tour last
onday night when he ad
dressed the Quarterback club,
of Charlotte.
Burke Davis, sports editor of
the Charlotte News, came out
with the following account of
his speech Tuesday morning:
Rex Enright last night endeared
himself to the football fan who
frankly admits that he isn't an ex
pert-who would rather watch the
ball carrier than join the smart boys
and the critics by watching the
... beautiful blocking in the line."
"You don't have to sit there and
watch the line go to work in order
to appreciate the finer points of a
football game," the head South
Carolina coach told the Quarter
back Club at its weekly meeting
last night. "You have to do that
when you're sitting on the bench as
a coach, but when you're watching
from the stands the thing to do is
keep your eye on the ball carriers.
"You can watch him go through
the tackles and, if that hole is there,
you can catch the linemen executing
their assignments perfectly. That
hole will snap open for just a split
second. If you watch line play
alone, you're apt to be watching the
wrong spot."
That, gents, was startling. The
expert football watcher has long
maintained that you should watch
the line-play and let the hoi-poloi
and the uninitiated content them
selves with the backfield sensations.
Enright's main subject last night
was quarterbacking and its prob
lems but he padded his speech with
stories of the psychological headi
ness of Notre Dame's famous Knute
Rockne.
"In 1924 Notre Dame had its
team which won the National cham
pionship and took the Rose Bowl
game," Enright said. "But I'll bet
to this day that at least six of those
players learned just how serious this
football business is when sitting on
the bench in the Army-Notre Dame
game in the Yankee Stadium the
year before.
"Our club was taking a terrific
physical beating in the first half.
They were really cut up and phy
sically whipped. At the half Rock
got them in the dressing room,
stormed up and down while the
