Birds Small Squa Offset By Dt Lack Of Reserve Power Looms As Chief Problem It's another week before the South Carqjina will.don footba grid debut, but reports from I carry a more distinct note of op 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 Enright is offset by the fine spirit aind 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, October 5 will see the Caro lina boys in 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, Nvveanuci 16 at Greenville is next in line, Miami University in an exhibition under the arc lights, November 22, Wake For est at Charlotte in a Turkey Day bat tle, November 28 and the Cadets of Citadel at Charleston, 1December 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 17%3 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 lina coaching staff, hopes to put on the field a well balanced, hard fight ing team of garnet and black clad fpotball warriors. -Pony Backs (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6) the most valuable man on last year's team, becoming the only sophomore to gain that honor.

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 Jimmy Skip wuith 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 lineup to start against John Patrick's Pet rels was Ellenson, huskey right tackle. Ellenson is the only tackle from last year's freshdhan 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.

Georgians Moan Lacu d Backs To Bat Down 0' 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 to stop opposition passes. The chief source of headaches in :he Georgia camp is the lack of full )acks. 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 team 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 lepartment where sophomores Frank Sinkwich and Jim Todd hold forth. Prevalent comment from Butts' ;tronghold is "Unless we can get a better defense, we won't win a game without scoring a dozen :ouchdowns."

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 "thc Most sciCntific 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.
