V-I2MBests Sportographs By JOHN REESE There has been sod dissention arising from the question of the Navy baseball team and this is partly due to failure on my part to hint strongly enough last week at the true situation. The Athletic Association has declared that it would be im possible to have a baseball team this season due to a lack of a field to practice on since both Melton and Davis fields are both in use from sunrise to sunset six lays a week and due to a lack of time to practice were a field available. The Navy boys, however, went ahead and formed a team. This team is all Navy-it is coached, and financed by the Navy, and all of its players are V-12 men. It is known officially as the University of South Carolina V-12 Unit team. It, is not the Gamecocks of former seasons and it is not a sulst itute for the Gamecocks. Some civilians, not knowing this, have felt that they were being denied the privilege (yes, [ said privilege) of playing in the University team. but such is not the case. This team has two connections with the University: Its players are memn bers of the V-12 ITiit stationed on the campus, and when they play they wear the uniforms which were in past seasons worn by the Gamecocks. Since it was impossible for the Navy to pur chase new uniforms as they tried to do, permission was given for them to use the Bird uniforms. Alleviate your fears and rest assured, civilians, that this is not an attempt to usurp your privilege to engage in inter collegiate sports as the Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina. * INSIGHT INTO INTRAMURALS Spirit is waxing high as the Navy intramural play goes into the second week. There have been a lot of good games and some rather poor ones too. Best game of the series so far is still the victory of the Sad Sacks over the Snafu by a close 3-2 count in last week's game. True to my prophecy of last week the Tenement 2S Brown Clowns forged ahead to snatch the lead in the American League from the clutching hands of the Temuentent 27 Shamrocks. The Brown Clowns have a good lead so far and with Russ Bern stein pitching backed up by the whole team, they should lead in the finale of the series. In the National League the Tenement 25 LST Preps came from third place to take the leadl over the Tlenenment 21 FI'nce Busters by a one ganie margin. Tihe Kitten Ball .\en dropped to third place. And . . . and, last and most likely least, the tail end of the whole thing was lead by the Tenenmenut 11-12 Ilurri canes far in advance of the Tenement 24 Liberty Ilounds.

Two new additions have beenm made to the schedule, the games with Duke and with the Georgia Pre-Flight School. Both of these schools annually turn out a top-notch team and it will be no easy task for the Giamecocks to (defeat either of the two, but it can, it must, it will be (lone. With a mixed team of civilians and V-12ers, we should be able to set dlown Newberry and Presbyterian fairly easy. For the first time in many years, the Birds look forward to coundly trouncing Clemson for two successive years. The University of North Carolina should prove a tough foe and the same goes for the 'Wake Forest team, but they are not invincible. All in all, it liiks like a promising but tough season for the Birds. P. C.; Students Urged To Consider Pharmacy Course Professor E. T. Motley of th< school of Pharmacy at the Univer. sity of South Carolina reports thai his school is sponsoring an exten sive campaign throughout the statc to acquaint students with the op portunities offered at the Univer sity for training in pharmacy. With pharmacists so needed i1 retail and wholesale work now anl in the armed forces it is particularly timely for high school graduates to investigate the possibilities for a career in this line of work. At the University the graduate in pharmacy will receive a Bachelor of Science degree. It is now possible with the accelerated program here to finish the required work, that would normally take four years, in two and two thirds calendar years. Entrance requirements are, in general, those of the University. Specified units are listed in the new est University Bulletin on page 42. Dr. Motley said that the-average high school graduate is seventeen years old. Those who will later go into the armed forces will have ample opportunity to complete one year in college before entering the service. "Nor," he said, "do these things apply only to men. An increasingly large number of women students are becoming interested in this pro fession." A recent publication of the Phila delphia College of Pharmacy and Science stated that it has seventy eight students in pharmacy, who major in pharmacy, bacteriology, chemistry or biology. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has announced a total of 32 women enrolled in the school of pharmacy there. High school students visiting the campus during High School Week end are invited to visit the school, located on the first floor of LeConte College and to talk to the profes sors, concerning the curriculum, the Intramurals Progress As Brown Clowns Take Lead Navy intramural softball pro gressed rapidly this week and fea iiv sd 1>4,m good 8ame1u. Inl what was no doubt the closest game, the Tenement 27 Shamrocks defeated by a 3-2 count the Tenement 25 Sad Sacks. The Tenement 28 Brown Clowns held their lead of last week in the American League by virtue of wins over the Tenement 23 Snafu and the Tenement 27 Shamrocks while retaining the goose-egg in the loss columni.

With the pitching of Shed who held the Navy to seven hits and with the excellent play of the outfield, the V-1:! team was practically power less to combat the scoring sprees of the Fort Jackson team. One after the other, three Navy pitchers were virtually knocked out of the box. George Plamann who led the V-1: team to victory over the Pres byterian College Blue Stockings the day before did not pitch. With two men on bases, Hubis, the Fort Jackson third sackman, stepped to the plate in the fourth in ning aid drove the ball out of the field for a homer. Then again in the eighth inning with the bases loaded, Dowling the catcher sent the ball over the left field fence for four more runs. 'Trusheim and Plamann fanned. The ninth inning: P. C.
