3Brd Cagera 'DULL' with 'DULL by LEONARD TURNBULL - Hello - My n1ame is not F. ). R. Jonles so I won't break a tradition. This is my entrance column. Feeling like a spring chicken with all ,its pin feathers pulled out is a heck of a feeling I bet'cha. One thing is certain-that is that that chicken can't feel more uncomfortable than your scribe 'Bull as lie puts out his first problem child, pats it, frets with it. and finally puts it to bed. Well. -I've beeii hitting a it all aloig-ieaning this column-i-Is va' er haint ya g)nna like it ? ! ? ? ? ? - Time For A Win - A tine comes ini all good fellows span of life when lie will rise and over throw his mightier opponent, and then he will become the king bee. That same rule no doubt was made in reference tn Carolina and Clemson. We'd rather not say flow many years back it has been since we have overcome Clemson ini a major sport. Last year's victory over the Tigers in tennis was the first overthrow of the Clemsonites in what we call a minor sport in several years. But the time has arrived-Country Gentlemen expecting the same old jinx to work have been hitting town today in flocks. (ly the way, what is a bunch of meek Tigers called ?) Carolina mien can only mutter insults and pray for the jinx to break. Tonight for the first time in many moons, Carolina rules an even chance of winning over the traditional opponents. The. Field louse will be the scene as the Gamecocks go into the fray with cyclinders full blast. Clemson will throw her high scoring Buchanan and Craig against Gamecock ace Westmoreland. - Pres Wes Hits 'Em - Pres Westioreland seems to be the shineing light of the Birds so far tliis season. Against the Citadel last Monday night, Pres hit the basket 16 times from the floor, and dropped in 2 foul shots. This scoring spree added up to exactly 34 points. These 34 points were high enough to tie the conl ference record set several years ago. Pres has 110 points to his credit in a sum total of five confereice gaies. An uncanny eye for the basket has kept the slender Bird oil top of the heap. I say let's boo:t him for all-conference forward right now. - Whole Team Aces - The floor men in basketball, like the linemen in football, never seem to get their names in tihe streamer headlines. In spite of this there are other players scrapping for the Garnet and Black. Fred Lytle, our pivot man, is plenty goo(d on retrieving backboard rebound. Lanny Lofdahl is the best floor man we've seen this year, excepting a couple of those George Washing ton guys, who bowled us over earlier in the season. Junmie Ilymson, reserve guard and forward, needs about half-a-foot more in height to make him greater than lie already is. At the guards, Ken Roskie, Dick Anderson and Earl Dunham stick to their men like flies to cane syrup, besides setting up plenty of our shots. On the reserve list is "Spec" Evatt and Gene Ilaynes at center, and tiny Ted Brooker at forward. - Revive Interest in Basketball - A new idea has been broached to me, which, I'm sorry to say is not orig inally by me. It is to foster interest in basketball by keeping closer tab on the players. We have this system used in baseball and football, why not in basketball ? It might mean a little more work on the score keepers bnt it would keep u.s dumb guys more informed. It is run like this : The score keeper checks oii all the shots attempted for the little round basket and the number made. Also the foul shots ,and number made. The personal are also added in. Tle total nuimber of points made by each player is given. After this information is received one figures out the percentages of each player in regard to shots made and missed. It is the same basis as the batting percentages of the baseball players. Biaseball is a year 'rounad spoirt, and( wp believe basketball could be made just as interestinig if we would all go to the trouble of figuring these per centages. Just for exanmple take thme scoring of \Vestmoreland in the Citadel game. Pres attempltedl 32 shots and made 16 of them, for a hit-miss average of .500. Ie attenmpted 4 foul shot s and( made 2 for another .500 average. lIe had two personial fouls called against him. II is toital for thme game was 34 ploints. Bernie Bass, erstwhile baseball tabbier is the originator of this plan. andh has p)romisedl to check all the home gamesc of the Birds to lie publishcd oni the sports page of this rag. - Spring Practice Returns - Yelling like a bunch of Indians oni the warpath, aind running around Melton Field ats if Yehudi was behind thmem the gri<dders are passing the first week of sprinig practice into oblivion. L ast fall Carolina had the best football spirit ever, I thought. Spring practice sessionis have changed this opinion dIrastically. Wh'len a fellow yells to encourage his windled teammates. whlen lie himsel f is out of breath, then they really have the spirit. About sixty fellowvs greetedh Rex Enrighlt AMonday and settled down to the seriouus businmess of wvhipping themselves into shape. Scholastic dIifficulties knocked oine player out of the raiiks of the Enirighit wvarriors-hmis name? "D)e Jeep" Urban. Jeep) was a natural inl all athmletics. I le is (out of school now-whiat's thAt about spilled milk?? ? Coach Enrighit is trying to get spring practice gamnes wvith other schools. This is aim attemipt to relieve the monlotonly of spring practice, when the gridd(ers pound each other unitil they get tired of seeing tIle same face over amnd oiver again across the hine. Th'lese practice gaimes will be played behind closed (doors. - Boxers Victory Hungry - Carolina's boxers have been running into a Ipeck of trouble this seasoni. 'fhiy startedl thme season off with two strikes called oil them. Dick Baxter, prize heavyweight of last year is gonle, and( Sol Blatt had to (drop) boxinlg becauise of a l)a(l nose, and also because of his campus dluties. Baxter was a finalist ill last years' tournament, and( BIatt was crownedl king of tIme 135 pouniders. I Ilarry lInfton is, in my opinion, the most colorful boxer ever to step into the ring. I Ie slinigs those loopinig rights unltil his gloves just barely stay on his hainds. Against Maryland, in our mlatchl with themi earlier in thme season, lie stepped into thme ring with a fever of 102 and( foughlt like a cyclone burst loose to take thme (decision.

Sc 'Cocks Point For First Win Against Bulldogs Tonight Beall Pointing For Fight With Lempesis In Welter Division Tonight the Carolina mittimlen will journey to the "City by tle Sea" to engage the Citadel cadets. The Ilirds will be striving for their first win of the year. The imatches will be held in the armory. The Gamecocks have lut the two matches inl which they participated in so far this season. In the opener, Maryland defeated the Birds, 6 to 2, and last Saturday the Clemson rigers (lowled thei, 5 to 3. Co-captain Olin Nlacl)onald (if the Gamecoc)s has won both of his Iatches this year. Ile decisioned Lincoln of Maryland id Rogers of Clemson. The Citadel clainis lie will find stiff opposition in Gil I1olTmain tonight. Nacd)onald is Southern Conference champion in the baniam weight division. The Citadel also presents a Soutli ern Conference champ in welter weight Louis Leilmpesis. Carolina's Willis Beall will be his opponent. Beall has won one and lost one this season. A Maryland lighter de cisioned him and hist week Beall TKO'd Smith of Cleims(mn. The Citadel had two meets last week and lost one and tied the other. V. l'. 1. defeated the cadets 4% to 3%, and last Saturday they drew Co lumbus 4 to 4.

North Carolina, who mIlade the football experts sit up1) ald take notie of his ability as a tackle on the football. Now another North Carolinian turns up who is super de luxe as a floor man in basketball. and he is from Swananoa, (which means "heautiful valley"), what a co)mlina tion. This lanky sopimrlte who) is Com tiniually juniping up and grabbing the basketball when the oppnients think they have it is Fred Lytle. Although his scoring has been I(,%w this season lie more than makes up for this by setting up plenty of his teamimates shots. Added to the fact that Fred is a good basketball player is his wing playing (n the varsity grillers team. lie was aimong the lirst 30 the past fall, and received a letter for his playing. \Vhile a member cof the Asheville high Schiool basketball team lie was high scorer as his hime town team bwled over the Clemsin frosh team.
