aBIRD C SPORTS SQUINTS a By WALLY DINSMOOR One of the more ambitioi Carolina Bucketeers who made the trip to Charleston has spu: a fancy yarn about the trip down to that city and turned it in to the sports department. ' I thought that it was so good that 1 would pass it on to you. If you have never made a trip with an athletic squad of some s.rt or another, you cannot really appreciate the predicinents that the writer goes thrn in these two days. Here it is: . . . * The Adventures of a Black Cat and its Sixteen Kittens; Or Why Coaches Take Poison at Forty This article will attempt to explain how the Black Cat, a car, and its 16 kittens, the members of the USC basketball team closed a week-end of many interesting events at the great south ern city of Charleston, S. C. The trip was chartered for 2:30, but as usual the previous arrangements vent haywire and we waited around till 4:30. We were met by the usual hazards, a rainy night plus slick roads and crowded alutos. When our Block Cat pulled into the city of Charleston, it procepded to go to the Coastguard base where a meal and sleeping quarters were expected. Then to our amazement we discovered we were wrong on both points. After receiving the bad news, we trudged onward to the heart of the city and pro ceeded to look for the College of Charleston's gym. Right there we found we had plotted our course wrong and without any stars we could not find our way. We. were directed by a kind old gentleman to the long-sought gym. We arrived just in time to rush, half-clad, onto the floor for the first engagement of the week-end. The galne went off swell II( to our surprise we discovered that women. believe it or not. real live fenmale women. were present. hey actullly oit miiinhered the males. Right then and there in tiat gy. the southern hospitality that these northern boys hmd heard so nmeh ab)out started shining like a bright red ruby in a pearl setting. It was an unbelievable sight at the cordial way we were treated. After the game we bunked down in the gym, which was equipped for that sort of a necessity, and was looking forw rd to a good night's sleep until it was discovered that everyo e knew about a dozen sleight-of-hand tricks which they had tQ show. Joe Faress, Phil Cantore, Joe Sam, T. Ary, Bob Baggott, and "Radar" Loper led the parade. The few civilians who were present were entertained until the wee hours of the morning. (Coach, this is strictly off the record.) Soon all he boys dropped off into Slumberland. (The little angels). Then like at shot fromat i.)llnl g, un came the erv. -h-it the deck, men !" and "I'nIl out for calist lenics !" This all hap pened at exactly 5 :50 Saturday morning. The yell was start ing for the second tine, bult it was never finished for T. S. Ary (the poor Indian who velled) was found under a stack of articles which ranged fron a toothbrh to a rocking cainir. That was the last sound rCcor'ded(. excePpt for occasional snoring. until 9 :30. Everyone arose and proceeded to the base for their mid-day meal. The chow was fine. It even included real steaks. After. 10:30 each boy could do what he pleased. Everyone started out seeing the town on their own. That is, everyone but "Wolf" Sam and "Scalper" Ary who managed to talk the two charming girls, namely Betty Jo Brockman and her friend Miss, ohu into showing them the interesting spots. A fine time was had by all, even the poor girls. Cameras clicked at every oppor tunity and it was agreed by all that the oddest sight was the small, narrow, and dimly lighted streets. After 4 :30 everyonie had( to go to bedt for their beauty' nap (Heavye" knows they'~ need it). Theni at 5 :15 two raidio men caine and hautled off T. S. A ryv to the rad(io stationi.

The Birds hopped into an early lead and were never headed luring the conquest of the Maroons, wvlo seemed to provide very little )pposition. CarolinA's chief standout was Lhunky Joe Sam, former forward from Drake University, who hit the hoops for a total of 17 points and high scoring honors for the night. Not far behind was T. S. Ary, who asketed 15 markers and displayed 1is usual scrappy game on defense. Lanky Bob Baggott, who has con .ributed much to the team, sank 13 points to keep his average along he high rank. Phil Cantore, always team man, hit his stride with 12 )oints to his credit and recovered he ball from the opposition time ifter time. The Ganccocks were out for >lood in order to avenge their game with the Raiders of Fort Jackson md apparently they seemed to have chieved it in their onesided victory ver the Marooners.

In winning this contest Carolina whipped a powerful well-oiled ma chine of six-footers. Six feet four J. Harris and brothers O. Hendricks and II. Hendricks had played to gether before on the Wood River High School team of 1940 which reached the semi-finals of the Illi nois prep school tourney. South Carolina's Gamecocks last night swamped Columbia Army Air Base 76-33. T. S. Ary and Joe Sam shared scoring honors with 14 points each. The entire Carolina squad played. Half-time score was 36-15. Gilord Rout, six foot four inches, also of Wood River, Illinois, was matched against Carolina's "Little Joe" Sam, who simply out-mnaneuv ered him. At half time the score was tied up 22-22, but in the early minutes of the third quarter, the Birds dropped three counters through the netted hoop to lead the contest 28-22. After attaining this lead Carolina through wise play and marvelncs passing kept the ball for 11 con secutive minutes. In the second half the speedy Bird tive held the Coast Guard to 12 points while gaining 15 themselves. Carolina held Possession of the leather sphere for the last three minutes of the game preventing any possible tally by the Guards. Phil Cantore and Joe Sai played a fine floor game with Dob liaggott commanding the backb,oard. T. S. Ary led the team in points gathered while excellent work l v Ed Daly played a great part in the win. George Wallace made the fir-t bucket of the game, a fine tn der-hand hook shot.
