Childs, dean of women, wrote last week to mothers of all co-eds living in campus dormitories ex plaining that no Carolina girl may date soldiers from Fort Jackson witho6t written permission from her parents. Dean Childs explained that this is merely a precautionary measure, saying that there has been no dis agreeable incident involving co-eds and soldiers. Mrs. Childs emphasized that Uni versity officials make no blanket discrimination against soldiers, "In fact," she said, "Many co-eds have brothers and boy-friends at the Fort. But when over 20,000 men are gathered together, there are always some bad characters present." Mrs. Childs mailed out approxi mately 300 letters.

Carolina's venerable battle cry, "Give 'Em HELL, Game cocks", will merge with Navy's "Sink the Army, Sink the Army, gray" as the first service classic supplements the ancient fair fracas. All over the world Navy fans will chant "Anchors Aweigh" for the Birds in their first ser vice classic of South Carolina. Carolina joined hands with Middie forces when the Naval R. 0. T. C. unit was installed here in September. From now on, it will be Annapolis and USC versus West Point and Clemson. Tradition will add to tradition as Bird and Bill face Tiger and Hardtail on the gridiron tomor row. It will be two battles in one-the ancient service honor on one hand, the equally ancient Carolina-Clemson quarrel on the other. Even the records of the four teams through the years stack up almost even. Army has de feated Navy many more times than the Middies have won ser vice battles, and Clemson holds the advantage over Carolina in State Fair clashes. Football Team Ado Swear Will Beat C1 Carolina's football team has adopted Fred Waring's new pep song and say they will march in time with it to victory over Clem son. So declares fullback Ken Ros kie, musical mastermind of Rex Enright's eleven. Meanwhile a group of students who made a recording of the song declare it's very easy to learn, has a catchy rhythm and will make USC a kood fight song.

This holds true for the annual grid classic between Clemson and Caro lina tomorrow. At the last meeting of the Stu dent body the students approved the resolution introduced by John Boyd of KSK requesting spectators to refrain from drinking at the game tomorrow. Sol Blatt, Jr., Student body president, will speak to the spectators before the fresh nan and varsity games asking them to cooperate with the students in making both games as "dry" as possible. After the meeting the following letter was sent to Cadet Colonel Ross, of Clemson, by Dan Gibbes, secretary of KSK. Columbia, S. C. Cadet Colonel of Brigade, Clemson College, Clemson, S. C. Dear Sir: Regularly for the past several years the students of South Caro lina has gone on record as opposing drinking at all football games, especially the State Fair classic. In accordance wvith the custom the following resolution was passed at a recent meeting of the Student body.

Jungle Team Is FaVorite To Top USC In Classic Enright Men Will Be At Full Strength For Annual Battle In State Fair Calliope Bowl By Joe Kirby For two and one-half hours tomorrow afternoon, business will be suspended, babies left untended, and thoughts will turn from mere wars, international crises, Hitlers and Willkies, as more than 20,000 Palmetto football fans forsake the miraculous midway of the South Carolina State Fair to jam the big con crete stadium to see the State's paramount pigskin scrap of the year. To sandlappers the 38th renewal 'of the Clemson-Carolina football classic will be New Year's Eve, Yom Kippur, home coming, Fourth of July, and the Army-Navy game rolled into one. And if the weather man smiles on tomorrow's encounter the largest number of people ever to witness a sporting event in the Palmetto State will converge on the Fair Grounds, at 2 P. M., game time. Tigers Are Heavy Favorites Heavy favorites to repeat their triumph of the past six con secutive years are the Clemson Tigers, who haven't received a set-back since dropping a 7-6 verdict to the powerful Green Wave of Tulane in the early part of the 1939 campaign. Since that (late the Bengas have racked up twelve consecutive vic tories, including last year's Cotton Bowl win over the Boston College Eagles, and tomorrow they'll be trying for number 13, which isn't exactly a good omen to Tiger fans. To date the jungle juggernaut has rolled up 131 points against Presbyterian, Wofford, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, 39 of which were scored at the Deacon's expense, against only 7 for the opposition. On the strength of this record, the Tigers were rated last week as the 12th best team in the country by the Associated Press writer's poll and as high as second by at least one other rating system. Birds Will Be Ready Standing in the way of Clemson's bowl aspirations are the gallant Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina, who have received setbacks at the hands of Georgia and Duquesne. After losing to Georgia's sensational sophomores, the thin red line led the strong Dukes of Duquesne before bowing to a final period splurge of the Pittsburgers 27-21. Tomorrow the Gamecocks will be nearer to full strength than for either of their two previous conflicts. Back in the Bird camp are halfbacks llarvey Blouin, voted last year the most valuable player on the Bird squad, Gus Crawford, and Fullback Glenn Rice, who have been on the bench with injuries and may see service for the first time this season. Joe Hatkevich, senior guardl, is the only regular that is definitely relegated to the sidelines by injuries. Lack of reserves has plagued the Gamecocks this season, especially at the tackle, guard, and end p)osts. This numerical disadlvantage is off'set in some measure by the fighting spirit displayedI by the Gamecocks who can present one team that is dlefinitely not to be sneezed at. In view of the manpower that Clemson can throw into the fray, this is certain to be an im portant factor in deciding the outcome. Grygo Ready To Go In halfback Al Grygo the Birds have a brilliant back whose performance in the first two games show that he is back in the sensational form that made him all-state his Sophomore year. After watching the Clemson clash as a spectator last season Al will be back in the line-up this year attempting to repeat his feat of 121 personal yards against the Tigers in his first crack at them. In the Duquesne game he accounted for one touch down with a dazzling 94 yard kick-off return and passed to Urban for two more. In quarterbacks Elston and Norton, the Gamecocks have two capable blockers to clear the way for a bevy of good backs. Elston however, sustained a peculiar shoulder injury in the Duquesne fracas and at present is Coach Enright's chief source of worry. If Elston is forced to stay out of the game, the Birds will have suffered a severe set-back. Reserves in the backfild are more plentiful than in the line. Arrowsmith, Blouin, Roskie, DeMario, Rice, and Lowry are backs who can be counted on to share offensive duties with the brilliant Grygo. A pair of sophomores have proved to be the powers In the Gamecock forward wall. Louis Sossamon at center and Elmore "Bobo" Carter at tackle have been making a strong bid for State and Conference honors.
