Sing out there, misters. You're in the Navy now. .." and one hundred and seven rookies in Uncle Sam's answer to Hitler shout out the drill cadence on Caro lina's Melton Field. They are not the first that ever marched on that turf, for in 1860 there were boys in gray and the Federal garrison sta tioned in Columbia after the war used it for the parade ground, but they all say they will be the best. There is grim business here. Down the rows of polished rifle barrels the long naval gun can be seen. It waits on its Swivel mount to train more men for the Navy that it serves. This veteran five-inch rifle of the last war-the type that armed the fifty destroyers re cently sent to Britian-is an chored on a concrete base near the south fence of the field. Naval ROTC crews of five will soon be learning with dummy shells to handle the gun in war. The officers of the battalion were chosen from the members j of the unit who have had prev ious military experience. It is difficult to decide who is work ing harder-the embryo mid shipmen with their twelve pounds of rifle or their com manders who are praying for a shipshape drill under the in scrutable eyes of the Naval officers. liday Season Wear LOTH ES ATS $.50 ILS ==A~ FRENCH COATS $8.50 9 Skillfit ~ S Alterations n Street Free ALWAYS OPEN Toddle House 1419 Gervais Street STARTING MONI Mickey Rooney "STRIKE UP LATE SHOW SATUI LEW AYRES -- LI "DR.

IIavilah Babcock, Carolina English department head and a writer of note, was classiiled as the "best out-of doors writer in America" recently by J. I lorace Lytle, famous hunting dog expert and author of books on the subject. Lytle has asked Babcock for permission to include some of his wild-life stories in an anthology of America's best, out-door stories. Babcock, known better to his Uni versity students as a confirmed golf er, is a real lover of the out-of-doors and the participation in such sports as fishing and hunting. lie is a past state president of the Game and Fish Association and a member of numer ous national wild-life boards. Recently it was pointed out that this Carolina professor and Archi bald Rutledge, another famous South Carolina writer, do more writing for out-of-doors magazines than any others in the nation. The indirect advertising gained by the state from such a combination is enormous. Just this month these two South Carolinians combined to almost write the magazine-Field and Stream. Babcock wrote the feature story, "The Old Maid", and Rutledge wrote the editorial carried monthly by the magazine. Fi-d and Stream, the foremost sports magazine of the country car ries articles by Babcock regularly. The magazine editorialized on the fact that he was "the outstanding" authority on quail in America, last year. Five years ago one of Bab cock's stories appearing in another magazine received editorial judgment as the best out-of-doors story of the year, and was advertised by the mag azine as such. Approximately 120 stories, prima rily of out-door subject, have appeared in nationai magazines underneath the "lavilah Babcock" by-line in the last seven years. "When I lavilah Babcock writes it's iiot niciely antihi story, but a mas terpiece in its field," is the way an other FoWd and Stream editorial summed up the Babcock ability.

Brittain and McKinney apparently went berserk, reverting to their foot ball experiences in the recent Pi Phi and Tri Delt football fracas and en dangered members by using a pho tographer's flash bulb in lieu of a pigskin. McKinney, coming out of a six two-two-one defense, was thrown for a less by Sergeant-at-Arms Holmes Dreher. In fact, as one society mem ber put it, "We were all at a loss." An "elbow block", used effectively by his team in their game, by Mc Kinney was the only blow struck be tween' the two before other society members separated* them. The society initiated four new men: Corky Griffith, Bill Gambrell, Marion Milam and Henry Jones. Fourteen names were proposed for member ship, but failed to pass. Pictures were taken for the Garnet and Black. The society left the debris of the Brittain-McKinney incident for the janitors to remove.
