NOTI ' N ET STILL UNANSWERED The question still before us is. Are we or are we not going to have a football team? Although nothing new has been decided or nothing new has happened up to this writ ing it now appears that Carolina will have a football team. The South ern Conference still has to decide the eligibility of the V-12 students and is going to meet in Richmond. Va. on August 20 and 21 to make that decision. Rex Enright. on leave of absence from the Department of Athletics of the University, has been asked by ihe Board of Trus tees to represent Carolina at the meeting. Rice Institute, of ''exas, University of Michigan and other schools have already started using or are planning to use Navy V-12 students on their varsity teams. It seems doubtful that the Southern Conference will rule out the V-12 students after the other conferences have granted them permission to play varsity sports. The special committee on athletics appointed by the Board of trustees of the Uni versity met last night to decide what course the University is go ing to follow. Although the out come of this meeting is not known at this writing we feel sure that Carolina will have a team because at a meeting of the Board last May, they decided that if possible Caro lina would have a team to partici pate in intercollegiate football. Tenement 10 Publicity It seems that some people around the Carolina campus are jealous of the publicity given Tenement 10 in the last issue of the Gamecock. It was uninten tional, however, they have been doing thing: no other tenement hab. It so happens Enat ye scribe also rooms in the said tenement and is more familiar with their plans than with the plans of the other tenements. I suggest that the other tene ments that plan to enter intra mural competition, if an intra mural schedule is mapped out, appoint a publicity man to be responsible for all the tenements publicity. Let us know what your group is planning and we will make sure your group gets all due publicity. We don't want to make the same mistake in the future. Tenement 20 Accepts a Challenge In the last issue of the Gamecock 'enement 10 challeged any group or tenement on the campus to get up a swimming team to swim against them in a swsimming meet. Before the sun had set on the very same day the Gamecock made its appear ance Tenement 20 accepted the challenge. As yet, however, the meet has not taken place, but the captains of the two teams have got-' ten permission to use the pool and are working on the plans. They ex pect to make an announcement sometime in the near future. Allen Sindler stated that he hoped another team would be organized in order to turn the meet into a triangular af fair. Any one interested see him. Rationed. It seems that the most rationed thing on the Carolina campus this summer (s sports, nothing seems to be happening. The University does not have a varsity team of any description and it has no intramural pro gram whatsoever. We, the sports writers, are up against it for things to write about. If NARLIy I ONfO GR$ EMIA12eZi B A68 UGBALL NiS610A-" 7 VAMMBLE PWAVUR M1937" LIUNA ? IR!V/AV BUY WAR BOA ES E you don't believe me ask my friend across the page. He will tell you that I am right. This is a plea to you. Can't some of you athletic minded people do something like breaking a world's record or something along that line so we poor sport writers will have something to write about. Jitterbugging With intercollegiate sports doubt ful it seems that someone ought to come out with a new sport or some new gamne that would cause a re vival of interest among lovers of in tercollegiate sports. I am not say ing that the suggestion I am about to make is the answer to the prob lem, but it might work and anyway it's something to write abont. Why not make Jitterhugging an intercol legiate sport. It is not as rough as football. it is faster than basketball, it does not require as many mem bers to a team, two people could make a team. and most students can jitterbug, although ye scribe doesn't seem to be able to make the grade. All co-ed schools would be able to participate in competition and even the all boy and all girl schools would be able to get up teams for any boy or girl would love to rep resent his or her heartbeats school. Newberrv, P. C., Erskine, Wofford. among the small schools and Coker, Converse, and Winthrop among the girl schools certainly have some swell jitterbugs if I am any judge of dancing. Any way it would give the girls a good chance to crash in on intercollegiate sports. Whistling Annie It's usually the boys that go around whistling at the girls but such is not always the case. Anytime you boys want to see a girl whistle at a boy go over to the University Pool and get the thrill of your life. The life guard, Anne Adams, has a whistle and she doesn't mind whistling at boys. And if you go over take your trunks along and take a swim. It's a swell sport and you will have a grand time too. New Tables The Y.M.C.A. has added two new tables to the pool room. With the addition of these two new tables the pool room now has six tables. The pool room has its busiest hours at noon anel from seven to eight in the evening, after Navy mess. It is almost impossible to get a table if yn are not the first one there. The Y ought to put a limit on the num her of games one hoy can play if anyone is waiting on a table. In~ that way every one w'ill he able to use the table to play at least one game of pool. Not only have new pool tables been added hut three new ping pong tables have heen, added also. The new tables do not have nets vet butt when they are added they will he a much needed addition to the recreation room under Maxcy College. An Old Football Enemy I know all Carolina men and women at Carolina last year re-. member Paul Sizemore, of Fur man, who scored that lone touchdown in final minute of play in the Furman-Carolina game last year. Paul is going to play with the College All Stars team that is going to play the Washington Redskins, pro national champs, in Chicago on August 25 at Soldiers Field. U.S.TresserIcTue Navy Plato< Hunsinger, Lawyer And Football Coach Part time lawyer, part time foot ball coach, and at present a Chief Petty officer in the United States Navy is Edward T. Hunsinger. Chief Hunsinger may be more famous to some as one of the "Seven Mules" which played the line in front of the immortal "Four Horsemen." Chief Hunsinger attended St. Mary's parochial school in Chilli cothe, Ohio. He went to high school in that city, and also attend ed Dayton University High School, Notre Dame high school, graduat ing from the latter. At this point in his life Hunsinger served his first "hitch" in the Navy, from 1913 to 19I9. He was a fire man on the U.S.S. Terry ahd the U.S.S. Rowan, both destroyers. Hie was at Queentown, Ireland and at the Kiel Canal during the war. Following the war Hunsinger en rolled in Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana to begin his college education. He played four years of football during his stay there and in 1924, in his junior year, he played right end on the famous Notre Dame 11. He did such a spectacular job at this position that he earned a berth on the College All-American team of that year. In cidentally, he had never played foot ball in high school. Chief Hunsinger graduated from Notre Dame with not one but two degrees. One in law and an A.B. degree. The term "Philadelphia lawyer" can appropriately ht the chief as he started law practice in Philadalphia. At the same time he coached foot ball at Villanova College in Penn svIvania. In 1933. 34 and 35 he was line coach at Fordham University. In 1935, largely due to his efforts. Fordham's famous "Seven blocke of Granite" attained stardom. He pro duced All-American linemen among whose number includes Ed Wocjie wski, who starred later with the De troit Lions professional football team. Following two years as head coach at Niagara University of New York, Hunsinger returned to his law practice. He did not stay at this long for in July, 1942 he re-enlisted in the Navy. He was given the rat ing of Chief Petty Officer and was stationed at Sampson Naval Train ing Station. New York. At present he is attached to the V-12 training unit here at the U niversity, as a physical training instructor. W\hien asked ab-out his hobbies, a grin circled on the face of the ev'er popular chief. His reply was of course hunting and fishing. H-e ad nitted that he wsants to return to his Iaw practice after the war. BETTER LIGHT BETTER SIGHT * South Carolina Electric & Gas Co.

ES, President Phoes:t 2-2206 or 2.8828 Time Out By CHUCK THOMPSON Hello to the University of South Carolina. An item in this weeks sports briefs is football. How about this problem of a football team ? That is a difficult question to answer at the present time No information, either pro or con. has been given as to whether we will have a varsity team or not. By next "Time Out" time we should have some definite news. But whether we have a team or not the P.T. programs are going full blast. The other night an awful thud was heard in one of the tene mentc which house the V-12 trainees. The Mate-of-the-Deck rushed up the ladder to see iust what was going on. He burst into the room in time to see a sad looking sailor right himself from the deck. "What's going on here ?" asked the 'M.O.D. "Well. you see. I had a little home work for tumbling class and I was pract ing snap ups"' caine the feeble reply. This is not too typical but is a sample of how hard the boys Rre working. Under the direction of Chief Gravitt and Mr. Jenkins the boys haxe been going oxer the obstacle course in no time flat. In fact that's just hon some of them were after running the coiur,. Tumbling. one of thp more popular of the P T. courses. is being superviserl by, Chief Fourier and Mr. Crawford. They 4ave been working on ellbow leverz. squat balances, snap-ups, forward and backward rolls, and all that goes with it-includ ing some sore backs and head aches. Relays and games. under Chief Hunsinger and Mr. Borders, find the setting up exercise routine all but restful as would be suspected. Most of the games that are played in this course are not of the quiet type but involve real physical punishment and exercise. Plans have already been formulated for the Physical Train ing programs for the last six weeks of this semester. One section will have wrestling under Fourier and Crawford. The second section will have boxing under Gravitt and Jenkins and :he remaining group will hare Rough and Tumble. Chief Hun inger and Mr. Borders will have charge of this. The rough ind tumble consist of a combination of ui-jitsu and judo. in ,hort it is the fundamentals of dirty fighting. Each P. T. see. lion will have two weeks in each of the three courses. as they are doing at the present time. The Carolina Corsairs have been working and drilling for .he past two week,. TheY look very snappy and congratula :ions should be given Chief Fourier and to Rut Osborne, platoon ommrander for their giorl work. I also notice that Osborne has een re-elected a, platoon and Walt Young and Bill McMillan ave been elected as platoon representatives on the executive 'onmm111ittee. Another drill platoon has been formed. comprising some of the V-12 trainees. They have been drilling on the green in front of DeSassure College. Their commander is Joe Benton. 'ood luck to this new group and here's hoping that the)' make is good a showing as do the Corsairs. Another question has arisen in the minds of many of the V-12 boys is the question of intra-mural and inter-company 'ompetition. Ensign Harry Klocker has issued the following announce nent about this event. lie stated that there would be com etition in th following sports: Softball. touch football, iasketball. horseshoes. ping-pong and tennis. The teams would ie made up of residents of tenements. membhers of T-12 organi .ations o"b- ayn that aen get enough men together to make ip the required amount of pla' er's foi the reSpective sp)ort. The earns would carry names that would he selected by the members mech as Coker C'ar'ohmans or Teneiment 23 Battlewagons or Tones.' G;iants or some sui:h thing. The aiction of play w'ill consist of round robins in each sport. 1'here will be two leagues foi' baseball and football-provided mnough teams have been organized. The other's will be played n the bracket system. that is. one team plays against another mnd the winner will play the wmner of the other bracket. There will be a chart on the bulletin hoard that shows the eanm names and their' results. Also on the [hilletin board will e the ruiles and r'egtulations governing the play. Ens-ign Kloeker' said that the "ompetition will begin in about :hree weeks and the entries of teams will have to be turned in >n a vet u nascer'tainedl date. All eties accepted after that late will not be consilered for compet it ion. The ping-pong nurnament. hor'se shoes, tennis and softball will be the begin iers of this lproie('.
