Dunham And Roskie Have Grit, Power At right are two of the Bird's backfield stalwarts who have been mainstays in a losing, but not al together unsuccessful season. Earle Dunham, "The Sheriff", has played every minute of every game so far in the season, and if he doesn't break both legs and pos sibly an arm, it is highly probable that he will see duty in all the re maining games full time. Ken Roskie, the plunging power house of a ball carrier, has sparked a Gamecock power offensive that has, among other things outrushed Clemson, Furman, and even showed a glimmer at times against the powerhouse, Alabama. Basketball Frank Johnson, basketball coach, said yesterday that varsity basket ball practice would begin Monday at 4 p. in. All students, whether they have played college basketball or not, have the opportunity to try out for the team. If students are unable to report Monday, they may come out any afternoon thereafter at 4 o'clock. !ve GAN4 By JIMMI * * Not So Good We didn't look so good in that Fi managed to gain on practically evei what the team did just wasn't right.

Furman won, 6-0. After battling listlessly for three and a half quarters, the Gaac-:,ks and the Hurricane went into the fi nal minutes of their 28th meeting as spectators, convinced of a tie, be gan filing out of the stadium. Hun dreds jammed the sidelines for a close look at the two fairly even teams lifelessly battle out the last few plays. Then it happened. Furman's Dew ey Proctor started a right end run close to the sidelines. Seeing he was trapped by several Birds, he handed the ball to Sizemore, who was all but touching the jammed spectators I on the sidelines. Sizemore began gal loping straight down the field, pass ing several Gamecocks who hadn't even realized what had happened. He didn't stop until the precious six points had been racked up. Early in the game, the Gamecocks took the ball on their 20-yard line and in five plays,, wait to Furman's 46. A 15-yard penalty was thrown on Carolina and the drive fizzled. Carolina began moving again late in the third quarter when Earl Dun ham returned a punt 20 yards to Furman's 45. Dunham flashed a 7 yard pass to Joe Johnston and Ken Roskie followed through with 15 yard smash that carried to Furman's 23. On first down, Johnston shot a left-handed pass to Skimp Harrison in the end zone but the ball brushed his fingertips and fell incomplete. Dunham went through the line for a 9-yard gain on second dowvn and then fired a pass to Harrison who was standing on the Hurricane 4 but Skimp was unable to hold on. On fourth down and one to go, a bad pass from center whizzed by Johnston and resulted in a loss of1 ground and the loss of the ball. That ended Carolina's threats. A substantial increase in enrollment of women in engineering, drawing, the industrial arts generally, and in wood shop work is reported at the Univer sity of California.
