NOTES DY NETTLES 3'ootball .. At last the news has come out as to who is going to coach the football team this season. President J. Rion lcKissick an nounced on Wednesday of this week that Professor Furman Cannon will he acting athletic director in place of Rex Enright who is now with the 1'. S. Navy. Althongh Mr. Cannon has been named head man he will not do the actual coaching. The actual coaching will be done by a volunteer staff. These men have been practicing with the team for the past several weeks, trying to whip the squad into shape before their opener with Newberry College on September 25. Originally there were two practices held daily but the plans have been changed so that the squad meets only for the night sessions on Melton Field. It is interesting to note here that the Newherry Game has been (hanged from an afternoon game to a night game. The possible reason for this change is the fact that the Gamecocks have had only night practices and would not be able to perform as well in the afternoon as, it is hoped, they will be able to play at night under the lights. The Carolina Ball Club got off to a good start in their prac tice game with Fort Jackson. Winning by a decisive margin. Although the score was not as large as the P. C. score over the Fort Jackson. the Gamecocks showed real power and after smoothing off the rough edges ought to be able to beat the Blue Stocking team fom Clinton. Listed on this page are the members of the squad as they will appear on the 25th. Included in this roster are about a dozen who played tinder the Universities' colors before, playing either on the freshman team or last year's varsity. Football Season .. . Presbyterian College Blue Stockings and the "Fighting 59th" signal batallion really started things off right last Saturday night in their game which was the first game to be played in the Columbia area this year. The Blue Stockings won by the very formative score of 41 to 0. Again this weekend students of Carolina and inhabitants of Columbia are in for a weekend of football with two games to be played on Melton Field. Brookland-Cayce and Columbia High Schools will blow off the lid of local high school football Fri day night and on Saturday night Fort Jackson meets New berry. School Spirit .. . An article appeared in this column a couple of weeks ago about the University of Texas school spirit. Well not only does the University of Texas have a wonderful school spirit but the University of South Carolina also has a grand school spirit and that spirit is growing stealily. The football squad had to be cut because of lack of equipment and every night the stands on Melton Field have held some supporters of the team and if it were not for navy restrictions there wiuld he a lot more out to back the team every night. The Booster Club has been or ganized and is planning a pep rally for tonight. Everyone on the Carolina campus ought to be out for that rally whether he be a former Clemson. Citadel. or what have you college student. Farewell! Farewell! Farewell ! That winds up Notes by Nettles. Next week Wally Dinsmore and Chuck Thompson take over. But before T go let me thank you for sticking by me and reading this column. I hope vou en.inyedl it as much an i en.ioyedl writing it.

Fourier, Chief Specialist (A) (aa). That boyish grin characterizes the man who is the friend of every naval student on the campus. Fourier is a product of Chicago's northwest side. He attended Fore man High in the West section, where he played end on the foot ball team and was captain in his senior year. He was also president of his graduating class. Fourier at tended Carl Sehurz high before go ing to Foreman. Fourier's teammate. Orwin Prasse, went on to the University of Iowa where he caught the late Nile Kinnick's passes in 1940. Fourier received a civic award, presented to the most outstanding all around boy in his high school. At the Universtiy of Illinois, Fourier again played end on the Illini varsity. His career was cut short when he incurred a knee in jury in the Illini-Ohio State game in 1939. Graduating in 1940 with a B.S. degree in Education. Fourier trav eled back to Chicago to take over the reins of the football team at his "alma mammy" Foreman high. During the same time he went to night school at Chicago Teacher's College to work on his masters de gree. While coaching at Foreman, Fourier drove a team which hadn't won a game in four years, into winning ball club. His first year, spent in building his team, netted a poor season; only two victories. His following seaso-. brought I7 won 2 loss record. The last year team, which Fourier built but couldn't coach, tied Austin High for the west section football title. We mentioned that Fourier couldn't coach Foreman's 1942 team. It was in January, 1942 that the U. S. Navy had the good for tune to obtain Arthur Fourier's ser vices for the duration. He reported immediately to the Norfolk, Vir ginia, physical instructor's training camp. Following this Fourier came to Carolina where his work has been mainly with the R.O.T.C. unit. Fourier's pr:de and 2oy is the Carolina Corsairs. R.O T.C. crack drill platoon. "I don't rur them, he says. "they run themselves and do a good job of it."

C. Navy. President McKissick arounced this good news last weeU It came on the evening of the Gamecocks' first test, which was in the form of a trial tilt with the "Fighting 59th" of Fort Jack son. Mr. Cannon will be in charge of all phases of the sports program though the actuai coaching of the Gamecocks is in the hands of a vol unteer staff. Approximately 50 men, nearly all of them naval trainees, are now working out each night under the lights of Melton Field. Full sched ules of c!ass work have made after noon practices impossible. In spite of the difficult and inadequate prac tice time the Gamecocks neverthe less expect to place an interesting and scrappy team on the field. Emphasis in practice so far has been on blocking and tackling and the coaching staff expects this at tention to fundamentals to pay off before the season is over. Only three civ:ians are now Working out with the Gamecock squad. About a dozen other men from last year's varsity and fresh men teams are now at Carolina and are out to play again. All of these men are Navy trainees. The remaining candidates for the team either p:ayed for other col le2es or unersities last year or e>e obita:ned their grid experience :n high hcoi teams.
