U.S.C. GE The 'Cock Pit BY JIM McKINNEY PINHEAD SCORES AGAIN WITH BLOCK "C" CLUB "Pinhead" Henson, about the most loyal athlete ever to wear the Garnet and Black. coues through with another school spirit scheme. Carolina's football captain has organized a Block "C" Club to "promote interest among the students, alumni and fac ilty and attempt to gain a closer cooperation between all." Yes, sir, that's the ultimate objective of this new born idea. And i nighty fine objective it is. Coach Enright is heartily in accord with the concoction. Says he, "Things at Carolina are at a pretty low ebb. This club should help to build ill) better school spirit and should make for closer cooperation all the way around." Since this letter club is one of my "Pit Policies" naturally I'm all for it. As Coach says, things are at a low ebb here athletically speaking. But this Block "C" is one of the things which will cause the tide to flow in, flooding Carolina's ath letics with a deluge of spirit, publicity, and better material. The BAM Club should provide adequate money to get the necessary material for athletics, and this Block "C" Club un doubtedly will tend to keep our athletes strong in mind and spirit. CONSTITUTION REGULATES BLOCK LETTER WEARING In the constitution of the Block "C" Club is the clause pro hibiting club members from wearing their letters in disrepu table places, and prohibiting non-athletes from wearing letters. If constitution provides that the only persons besides block winners who can wear the "C" are the sisters, sweethearts, and mothers of the emnber,is. Also on t block subject, the con stitution says that no high school letters may be worn on the campus. I'm a hundred per cent for these provisions, especially the lost two. This business of lending Blocks to room-mates who want to use them as bus tickets is a disgrace to the Garnet and Black. Likewise why should high school letters be allowed to horn in on the realm of the Garnet and Black C? On the cam pus, Carolina should reign supreme. The whole idea is plum swell. Heretofore athletes with real school spirit have been about as scarce as saints boating down the River Styx. I hope and believe the Block "C" Club will spread the old Gamecock fight around once more. And maybe if I'm a good boy and don't go off the lot (or on one), I'll get in it. SPRING ARRIVES EASTER SO I GO SNOW SLEDDING 'Neath budding trees, filled wiih twittering birds, and 'midst flow ering shrubs covered with buzzing bees, I went snow sledding East er Sunday. Was I just filled with belated Christmas spirits? No, the sleigh bells really rang out on the hills of Greenville's country cubs. What's more I took a first-class spill and got a fair share of the left-over-from-Christmas snow down my neck. With me on said unseasonal escapade were a few of Greenville's golfing great. (Ask Jane Crum who they are.) But what really made the whole affair seem like Alice in Wonderland was the finding of a multi colored egg, the left-over of an Easter party the day before. Yes, sir. Foul weather, even two inches of outmoded snow, can't keep the Easter bunny from depositing his load over the country-side. BASEBALL TEAM GETS GOING UNDER PETOSKEY Those two wins from Ohio University sure did look good to Carolina baseball fans. It appears that Petoskey has injected a little of thnat fr'eshmman football spirit into the varsity (diamond davorters. With p)itchers like George "Snake" Crawford, Joe Grugan, andl Lucius Hlenson kicking up (lust on the mnound( and with sluggers like "Rock" Stroud, Graham Rhoden, Genie "Porky" Robinson, and J. B. Henson straining at the bat to knock opposing pitchers into Lexington County, there may be a state championship at USC this year. Remember it was the baseball team that gave USC its last crown two years ago. ZUCKERMAN FOLDS HIS TYP~EWRITER WITHI SPRING Looks like our athletic pulblicity department has gone into hibernation for the sp)ring and summer'. It's like this every year. When football, boxing andl basketball-our physical con tact sports-are over, andl the hears have come out to romp in the sunshine, Zuckerman and company folds its typewriters and silently steals away. Wednesday, athletic publicity gasped its last tortured br'eath when the news service had Perrin Ken nedy snap some action shots of our gridiron heroes. According to the powers that be, there'll be very few-if any -pictures of tennis, baseball, and tr'ack stars, and news re leases have long since joinedl the mummy brigade. The reason -no money. But, where there's a will there's a way, even in athletics. Somebody please give Zuckerman a little dough andl he'll (10 wonders. TATL FEATHERS; LAST ONES OVER Dog-gone if rat pitcher Waldo Hyman isn't good. He lim ited the varsity sluggers to one bingle in four innings last week ... Likewise, Laverne Floyd, the sensational one-armed freshman, shows plenty of baseball ability . .,. Coach Frank Johnson still is b6thered with a trick knee, acquired in some college football fenenn.

Earlier this week Carolina won from Kalamazoo, 17-1, and licked Augusta Junior College. Previous victories for Coach Havilah Bab cock's linksmen include wins over Hampden-Sydney, and Davidson. Coacn Babcock sid yce- J that he believed Carolina had a real golf team this year, and he ex pressed belief that his boys would go far in state competition. Bab cock is hoping to knock the Citadel, state champs last year, off the golf ing pinnacle. . The links coach says that anyone wishing to challenge any member of the present team for a berth, can make the match with him at any time. "We have a lot of undeveloped golf material at Carolina," said Babcock, "and I'm sure there are many students who could make a place on the team if they work hard." Babcock emphasized that the team is not fixed. Said he, "Be fore the season is over, I probably will make a number of changes. I'm sure that Jane Crum will get a berth on the team when she finishes her tournament schedule." Law School Cagers Lead In Intramural Basketball Tourney Four Leading Teams Still. Retain Clean Slates In Competition After approximately three weeks of intramural basketball compe tition which has seen no team play less than twice and one as many as five times, four teams still have clean slates.

Close on the heels of the leaders are, Sigma Chi with a record of 3 wins andl 1 loss. Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu,, the Student Union, and Tenements 1-3 are the only other teams who have better than broken even. bier Causes Sm By Curve Ball W4 varsity sluggers during his five inning turn on the mound.

From that day on he was Florence's number one twirler and from the way that his curve Is breaking and his fast one Is hopping It doesn't seem unreasonable to expect that he will some day be the ace of the Gamecock mound stanf rLUB Is Largely an ization [s To Promote Interest Students And Alumni D FRICK e Block "C" club at the Uni after approval by the aduin.
