Lack Of Reserve Power
Looms As Chief Problen
It's another week before the
South Carolina will.don footbal
grid debut, but reports from t]
carry a more distinct note of opi
Although the 'Gamecock- squad is
smaller in numbers this year than it
has been for several years, this hand
icap according to head coach Rex
nright is - offset by the fine spirit
ind determination of every player
wearing the South Carolina colors.
With one good team on the field
and sorely lacking in reserve power
the 'Cocks will take on nine of the
leading teams of the nation in this
order, Oc ber 5 will see the Caro
lina boys ih action against the Uni
versity of Georgia Bullgods. Follow
ing the Bulldog fracas, come the
strong "Dukes" of Duquense. What
looks to be the salvation of the Birds
is an open date, before climbing
aboard the Clemson grid machine on
October 24. This open date will en
able the Carolina mentors to iron out
flaws in the defense, offense and re
condition their players.
Penn State on November 2 will be
the next tough assignment for the
Gamecocks, followed by Kansas
State who invades Columbia Novem
ber 9, Furman, November 16 at
Greenville is next in line, Miami
University in an exhibition under the
arc lights, November 22, Wake For
est at Charlotic in a Tudkey Day bat
tIe, November 28 and the Cadets of
Citadel at Charleston, December 7
winds up the season.
However, the first four games will
tell the tale, being a bit early to make
any predictions as to what sort of
team in regards to wins and losses,
South Carolina will have Coach En
right thinks the student body will be
proud of the effort made by the 1940
flock of Birds and also proud to back
them in their endeavor to come out
on the top side of the win column.
The ranks of the Gamecock camp
was somewhat decimated by injuries
at the beginning of the season, but
now after several weeks of hard prac
tice and conditioning despite mid
summer weather, the Birds appear to
be in good shape with the exception
of a few minor injuries, however,
there is no injury on the squad seri
ous enough to keep any one on the
bench. Orygo, fast stepping back,
who caused the biggest frown on the
Gamecock mentor's brow, due to in
juries should be ready to go when
the first whistle blows.
Handicapped by a numerically
small squad, the Birds stack up fair
ly good on the weight charts. The
backs average about 170 lbs., while
the forward wall tips the scales at an
average of 190.
The Gamecocks have been working
hard on timing of running plays, de
fense, pass offense and blocking and
with another week to sharpen their
spurs before the opener, the Caro
mia coaching staff, hopes to put on
the field a well balanced, hard fight
ing team of garnet and black clad
spotball warriors.

Five Georgia
Sophs Start
Friday Night
Bulldogs Open With
Oglethorpe In Atlanta
Ball Park Friday
Athens, Ga.-Five sophomores
definitely were nominated for Geor
gia's starting lineup against Ogle
thorpe in Atlanta Friday night and
two others may get opening assign
ments, Coach Wallace Butts an
nounced Saturday.
The Bulldog mentor still is unde
cided who will open at right guard,
fullback and tailback but the re
mainder of his lineup is all set, pro
vided there are no injuries in prac
tice this week.
Sophomores who definitely will
open the game are George Posch
ner, left end; Walter Ruark, left
guard; Gene Ellenson, right tackle,
and. Charley Christian, wingback.
Coach Butts is undecided whether
to start Frankie Sinkwich or Jim
Todd at the tailback slot. Both are
sophomores and it is certain that
one will get the call.
If "Red" Keuper recovers from a
"charley horse," he will start at full
back. Otherwise it will be Junior
Cliff Kimsey or "Spike" Nelson,
also a junior.
The other doubtful position is
right guard, where Junior Winfred
Goodman will start if his bad leg is
okay. If he is not in tip-top con
dition, Sophomore Everett Horne
will get the nod.
Tommy"Witt is a certaid starter
at center. The Louisville, Ky. Junior
has made rapid progress the last
few weeks to oust Steve Hughes
from the number one spot.
Wyatt Posey, a junior, will be at
left tackle, Captain Jimmny Skip
worth at right end and Alternate
Captain Bobby Nowell at blocking
back.
Lamar Davis, brilliant sophomore
wingback, probably will see some
service in the Oglethorpe game, but
he will be hampered by an ankle in
jury that has kept him on the side
lines for more than a week.
Biggest surprise in Butt's linieup
to start against John Patrick's Pet
rels was Ellenson, huskey right
tackle.
Ellenson is the only tackle from
last year's freshzhan team who has
shown any promise at all. he had
not been considered good enough to
draw an opening assignment this
early in the season. His steady im
provement and failure of Tommy
Green to come up to expectations
won him the starting port.
The Oglethorpe game begins at
8:15 o'clock, central standard time,
and will be played in Ponce de Leon
park, home of the Atlanta Crackers.

It is the purpose of this plot o'<
type to listen in on happenings from
the campuses of future Carolina op
ponents.
From the University of Georgia
come's word that Coach Wallace
Butts is secretly worried over the
vulnerability of his touted Georgia
line and the inability of his backs LU
stop opposition passes.
The chief source of headaches in
the Georgia camp is the lack of full
backs. Only Cliff Kimsey and "Red"
Keuper are of first string calibre,
and these lads aren't showing the
qualities of past Bulldog plungers.
Five sophomores from that teatit
which beat the Biddies 64-0 last
year will start against Oglethorpe,
and it is likely that several more
will be in the lineup wvhen the Reds
invade Palmetto land.
Probably the brightest spot in the
Cracker array will be the punting
department where sophomores
Frank Sinkwich and Jim Todd hold
forth.
Prevalent comment from Butts'
stronghold is "Unless we can get
a better defense, we won't win a
game without scoring a dozen
touchdowns."

From away up in Pennsylvania
come tales of a team that has every
thing, including experience and a
lot of reserve power. It is probable
that ten seniors will take the field
against Bucknell tomorrow.
The most notable fact about the
Staters is that all but two or three
pigskin paraders come from native
territory.
One of the most grisley tales to
proceed from the State campus is
the near myth concerning one Len
Frketich, a lineman of a mere 285
pounds who has maimed several of
his teammates so seriously that the
Nittany Lion brain trust is consid
ering dropping him from the roster.

Trustees Name Four
USC Domitories At
Midsumer Session
Maxcy Get Another
Memorial As Union
Building Is Erased
Four new names for University
dormitories were given by the
Board of Trustees at its midsum
mer session.
The old dormitory for women
was named Hampton College for
Wade Hampton, class of 1836, Con
federate lieutenant-general, gover
nor, and United States senator, de
scribed by Claude G. Bowers, as
"the George Washington of South
Carolina" because of his vast ser
vice as leader of the forces who re
deemed the State in "the tragic era"
of Reconstruction. It was in his
triumphant campaign for governor
that the women of South Carolina
in general first took active interest
and part in politics.
Wardlaw dormitory was named
Snowden College in honor of Dr.
Yates Snowden, bploved head of
the department of history from 1905
to 1932, in his time the greatest
authority on South Carolina's past.
One wing of Thornwell College
was named Coker College in honor
of the late David R. Coker, class
of 1891, University trustee from
1911 to 1938, one of the longest
trustee tenures in the history of the
institution, described by leading au
thorities as "the most scientific and
beneficient farmer in America", a
nationally known pioneer in scien
tific agriculture.
The old Student Union Building
was named Maxcy College in
honor of Dr. Jonathan Maxcy, first
president of the University, who
held that position for 16 years, the
longest presidential tenure in our
annals. Before co'ming here he
served as president of Brown Col
lege (now Brown University) and
Union College. Under his admin
istration the foundations of the
University were well and endur
ingly laid.
One of the wings of Thornwell
was named McBryde College in
honor of Dr. John M. McBryde,
class of 1861
