"Ri-i-ight shoulder-arms...
hun, two, three, four ... in
specshuunnnn-arms . . . hun,
two, three, four ... 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.

Babcock Hailed As
Best Out-Of-Doors
Author In Nation
Rutledge And Babcock
Bring Publicity And
Honor To State Of S. C.
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.
Besides his writing achievements,
this versatile professor has been pres
ident of the Virginia Society of South
Carolina, president of Phi Beta Kap
pa, national counselor of O.D.K.,
professor of English at William and
Mary, and editor of the I 'iryinia Ga

Post Office To Be
Lost, Found Bureau
COmpus Will Have New
System For Lost Items
Effective Tuesday, December 10,
the campus post office will be the of
licial lost and found bureau, John
A. Chase, Jr., dean of administration,
announced yesterday. This is being
done on recommendation of Kappa
Sigma Kappa, honorary service fra
ternity.
Students who lose articles should
report to the post office and fill out
cards giving their names, descrip
tions of articles lost and date of loss,
Dean Chase said.
Students finding articles on the
campus should bring them to the post
office and fill out similar cards.
These cards will be posted on a
special bulletin beside the campus
mail box.
Lists of lost and found articles will
be run in each issue of The Game
cock.
After a found article has been list
ed three times in The Gamecock, has
been posted for 30 days and is still
unclaimed it is given to the finder.
"We ask each student to cooperate
with us in checking both lost and
found articles," Dean Chase said.
"With close cooperation, we can cut
down permanent losses on the cam
pus."

Jefferson.
"Shameful truth to utter-I write
for bread and butter", is the way this
professor-writer-fisher-golfer guy will
turn off the praise that lie gets for his
Work.

Flash Bulb Takes Place
Of Pigskin In Impromptu
Struggle; No Casualties
The Clariosophic Literary Society
was thrown into a state of utter con
fusion last Tuesday evening, Decem
ber 3, by erstwhile football coaches,
James Harvey McKinney and De
ward Brittain.
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.
Reed Smith's Setter,
Pat, Missing A Week
Pat, a red Irish setter owned by
Dr. Reed Smith, has been missing
for several days. The dog, well
known to numerous students on the
campus, is very friendly and will get
into any automobile that enters the
campus.
Doctor Smith fears someone may
have picked the (log up and made off
with hi.
The graduate dean has offered a
reward of a "handsome Christmas
present" to anyone giving informa
tion about the (log's whereabouts.
Students possessing knowledge of the
(log should go to the graduate office
immediately,
