Game Future Bright For Cage Fans Basketball Team May Be Organized Here Soon By Charlie Sanders Prospects for a University of South Carolina basketball team this season looked bright this week in view of the fact that some of the Navy V-12 students have competed in the cage game before and will play the game if the Navy allows them to do so. No official announce rnent has been made by Athletic Di rector Cannon concerning the matter but it is highly probable that the Gamecocks will put a cage team on the court. A limited schedule will be attempted if a complete season is impossible. Three of last year's basketball Gamecocks are back this year to do their bit for the Birds. These boys. Pat Thrash. Cy Waldrop, and Skimp Harrison will see action this year if they decide to participate in the sport. 0 T. S. Ary and Bob Baggott, seamen at USC and Gamecock football squadmen will constitute a part of the V-12's contribution to the team. The '42 Gamecock squad had one of its best sea!ons of its history. They competed in the Southergt Con ference finals and were olv d'u. ned by the might. Duke Blue )e ils n the final game. Last year the Birds had a pretty succestful season until near the close when they dropped some important Contests. Martin and Riddle. last year's stars did not return to the campus this year. As no plans have been completed yet by the Athletic Department. tro coach's name has been made public. Rex Enright, who steered the boys last season is now \thletic Director at the Navy Pre-Flight School in Athens. Ga. Carolina Trounces Clemson Tigers And Coast Guard Tn the highlight of the Gamecock football season, the C'arolina Birds handed the C'lemson Tigers their worst beating in m'iny years, as they' rolled along to the tune of to6 over their ancient rivals, in the sta dium Odtober 21. It was the second time in three years that the Birds have been able to defeat the 'Tigers, and marked the first time in seven vears that the Gamecocks were even favored to wmn. Marion "Butch" Butler scored the only Clemson touchdowvn, wvhich, in cidentally was the first in the game. The first half ended Clemson 6. Carolina 0. At this point something short of a blockhuster hit the T'igers hut promtptly. On a sustained drive. Gene \\agnon drove to pay dirt from the six-yarel marker. Phil Can-. tore, star right half back, followed closely with a 7fl-yard run for the second Bird score, \\'agnon carried the pigskin over again after the Gamecocks bad dlriven to the T1iger thr'ee. Buck \\illiams, a Naval pre-flight student, contributed a score ont a 34-yard run. 'To end the scoring. Bill MeM illan, scored on a quarter back sneak. Brick Bradford hooted three extra points. F'or the first time in the season, the Gamecocks scored first. Ernest Lawhorne hit paydirt early int the ganme. The second Gamecock score came on a pass from Buck \\'illiamns to Joe Faress of Greenville who took thte hall in the end zotte for the score. The last of thte scores camte when Jack .hones bucked the line front the six-yard line.

SQUINTS By WALLY DINSMORE Carolina has yet to send a team out on the football field with the same backfield as the one used in the previous game. Either injuries or transfer has caused the volunteer coaches -to break a new man into the lineup easch week . . . So'far this season, the Liamecocks havc had to come from behind in every game except he Coast Guard game. Even Clemson managed to score before the avalanche began. Say, what became of the guy that wanted to bet me ten smackers on that Clemson game? Darn my con icience! . . Although Bob Baggott, freshman end from St. Leo High of Chicago, fought a losing battle in keeping his pants hitched up around his hips in the N-C game, he proved to be a sparkplug in the line. The tarheels ran a few plays wround his end of the line and then decided that there just vasn't a hole there. The Birds really missed Dynamite Dom in the game. (lad to see Johnny Tominack back in the game igain. John dropped football for a few weeks while he got his studies back up to Phi Beta Kappa levels and now feels that he can rest a while.
