* About The Campus
When Carolina's Gamecocks step out on Melton Field Satur
day night, their foe will be one not to be taken too lightly. The
teams of this conference will find the Newberry Indians a
heavy, aggressive ball club. According to what little info that
this corner has picked up. the Injuns have a rugged backfield
and a couple of fine pass catching ends. Diminutive H. N.
"Hutch" Hutchinson, has displayed some rugged play at the
quarterback slot. He was responsible for two touchdowns in
last week's race with Fort Jackson's 59th. A fellow who may
well be the fly in the ointment will be a rangy pass snagging
end, A. C. Cooper.
And on the other hand, boys from Newbush vow that the
freshmen squad can come very close to beating the varsity. Our
Gamecocks remain untested. On paper, the line should be
heavy and should include four lettermen. The backfield is a
question mark, but shows promise, is shown in the scoring
against the 59th in the recent scrimmage. At any rate, here's
to a good.season. and GIVE 'EM HELL GAMECOCKS!!

* And With The Alumni:
Ken Roskie, former Rockford (Ill.) athlete and star of the
Gamecock eleven of last year, is the hottest thing on the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station football team this year. Ken
" has scored three touchdowns in two games. In striking pay
dirt twice against Fort Riley (Kansas) he was the major factor
in his team's one point victory. Last week, Roskie scored one
of G. L.'s two touchdowns. He is THE big on the squad.
Louis Sossamon, one of Carolina's all time greats is stationed
at Bainbridge. Maryland where he is one of Coach Joe Mani
aci's mainstays on the '43 pigskin squad.

* Odds And Ends:
John Tominac, Gamecock guard. aspires to be a big time
football coach after he leaves the Navy . . . Bob Baggott. fresh
man V-12 trainee was a star in both basketball and football at
St. Leo High in Chicago. He was chosen for the imaginary
all-city basketball squad for 1942-4$. and all-Catholic football
squad for the same year . . . T. S. Ary, sophomore end from
41 Evansville, Indiana gained all-state honors in both football aqd
basketball. P. S. He also runs a mean 440 on occasion . . . Ray
iWilkinson, who now writes CSP's of USC is an accomplished
imitator. He imitates famous radio and screen personalities.
ie also finished seventh in the Illinois state finals in the half
mile run. On occasion his time approaches 2:02 which isn't
slow . .. Cliff J. Hall who is doing a fine job on USC's swim
ming team is another all-state Illinois performer. He placed
sixth in diving in last year's meet . .. Hate to think of what
kind of a game Saturday's battle will be if it rains on Melton
Field. Some mud fest
? *
* The Duke Sez:
This Saturday's games might end up this way:
NOTRE DAME - PITT, Angelo Bertelli pitching them for
the Irish is strong enough to give them a comfortable edge over
Clark Shaughnessy's new charges.
SOUTHERN CAL - UCLA-The Rose Bowl squad of last
year has left UCLA. On the other hand. Southern Cal has that
magic word, N-A-V-Y. Hence, Southern Cal over UCLA.
DUKE - UT. OF RICHMOND-Duke gets the ('all this time.
but don't underestimate the Virginians.
GEORGIA TECH - NOR TH CA ROLINA-N. C. has a 100
man squad. Tech has Bill Alexander coaching. We'll flip on
this and it comes out Tech. This will be a hot one.
UNIVERSITY OF OTTO GR AHAM - INDIANA-Those
w'ildcats with a veteran backfiekr and reserv-es three deep in
some places. are the cream of the Big Ten. Indiana should be
a warm-up for them in preparation for next week's brawl with
Michigan. P. S. Don't look now, but Otto Graham is due for
a spectacular year.
GREAT LAKES - IOWA--Great Lakes with Ken Roskie,
plowing from the fullback spot is abov'e Iowa's club.
IOWA SEAHAWKS - OHIO STATE-Seahawks, even if
the commanding officer has to play.

C Sp's Of
U.S.C.
By RAY WILKINSON
In typical Horatio Alger style.
Chief Specialist Mike Jones began
shifting for himself in this chaotic
world during his fourteenth sum
mer.
Chief Jones was born in Mt.
Vernon, Texas, March 11, 1911. He
attended the Mt. Vernon High
School, where, although obliged to
make his own living, he found time
to participate in prep-school basket
ball.
In 1930 Mike entered East Texas
State Teachers College. His desire
to become a leader in the field of
medicine prompted him to follow a
pre-med course. When later an
academic literary course was laid
open to him, he seized the oppor
tunity. Majoring in history, edu
cation, and social science and ad
ministration he came through with
his Bachelors and Masters degrees
tucked under his arm.
In practical application of his
newly gained knowledge Jones
taught in a rural school and Big
Sandy High School for a period of
four years each, later teaching for
a period of a year and a half at his
Alma Mater, East Texas State
Teachers. He spent a year at
George Peabody Institute work
ing on his Ph.D.
Chief Jones became a member of
the United States Navy on June 13,
1941. Before taking over his posi
tion on the campus of good old
U. S. C., he was stationed at Camp
Endicott, Davisville, Rhode Island.
Here he was attached to a Military
training and construction hattalion.
As an instructor of military cour
tesy and combat tactics Chief Jones
taught grenade handling, bayonet
drill and anti-aircraft operation.
The chief says that the work here
is more in his line and he likes it
much better than his previous du
ties.
His hobby is biological study. He
has given several fine biologicar
collections to various schools ir
which he has worked.
He eats to live and does not live
to eat. In respect to his favorit<
color he says, "I like all colors it
the right places."
The Chief plans after the war. t<
continue work on his Ph.D an<
settle down in some small college

Time Out
By CHUCK THOMPSON
Here we are back on the old side of the page again and it
feels sort of good to be back ''home' again. I want to welcome
Wally Dinsmore as my associate and I know that all you readers
will enjoy his column and efforts.
Now we have seen just what the Newberry Indians have in the
way of a football team. Although you could hardly call the
"track meet" of last Saturday night a football game. The
52-0 trouncing that the Indians gave the 59th Signal Battalion
looked very impressive beside the 41-0 beating they took a week
previously from Presbyterian College. Newberrv itself, as a
team, was sort of a one or two man team-the major part of the
scoring being done by Hutchinson. Tomorrow night we will
see what the Carolina Gamecocks can do to the Indians. This
game should he particularly interesting be,ause Newberry's
coach, Billy Laval. was F. S. C's coach a few years ago. Com
petition will be keen as Laval will dro his utmost to build up his
team to a height to whip the Gamecocks. Professor Furman
Cannon expects to have a team that will make a good showing
against Newberry.
The Gamecocks have been hampered the last few nights be
cause of the rain ruining the field for practice. Nevertheless
they had chalk talks and practice in the Field House.
It is thought and rumored that the officials at the T.S.C..
Newberry game will be: _McEwen 'Florida . Referee; Norvell,
Umpire: Galloway ' Presbyterian College), Field Judge; Reames
(Clemson). Head Linesman.
Incidentally the 59th Signal is scheduled to play the U. S.
Coast Guard eleven at Charleston this Sunday. The "Fightin'
59th" are expected to he in very excellent condition with new
plays to meet the Coast Guardsmen.
This rair. may have been a curse to the football players but
it was a blessing to all V-12 trainees. Five straight days we
missed morning ealesthentics. Ah! those "sacks" feel good
around 6 o'clock in the early morning. But "ol' Sol" came out
and forced us back in the groove of morning exercises again.
The tennis courts are a cause of controversy this week. Com
ments have been made as to the surfacing of the courts. It has
been commented that the tennis courts should he surfaced and
graded every 'l;ay instead of every few days. Those who play
on then say that there are a treat many deep ruts and holes
in them that dafnitely impair and hinder a rood game of tennis.
Also it is said that they should be marked every day. These sug
gestions sound fairly logical and ought to be taken up with the
proper person.
Intia-murals are going on as scheduled. Ping-pong matches
have been progressing on the tables down in the basement of
1axcy Colleee.
Right here I would like to make a prediction on some of the
football games. I noticed that my colleague has done same and
it ought to be proper to make a conjecture on what the outcome
might be. I see the victory of the Gamecocks over Newberry-.
net by a very great margin but enough to beat them.
Well, let's all be out rooting for our Gamecocks and be at
the game tomorrmr night. I'll see you there.
