"Him Like To Fl: Says Him, Game Genial Football Mec Mixtures To Cure A By JOHN REESE As the odor of wintergreen and antiflogistine permeates the field house, those who enter know that the football season (and the per ennial feature on Him) is coming. Football in most of its glory has now arrived and with it came an en livenment of J. C. Him, negro foot ball trainer for the Gamecocks. Him's real name is J. C. Sullivan, but since the pronoun "he" has been replaced in his vocabulary by "him", J. C. has come to he known as Hin". After spending most of the winter in hibernation interrupted only by the short basketball season, Him is now ready for the task of easing sore muscles and getting out charlie-horses. Daily in and out of his training room above which is the sign "J. C. Him-Trainer" limp several boys, victims of the "Burhead's" experienced hand. Him has been a trainer for the past twenty-one years. Him will tell you he is only 43 years old but that's what he has been telling the boys for many a year. On the shelves in side the room are row upon row of jars, boxes, and whatnot con taining some of Him's famous prep arations guaranteed to cure every ailment short of insanity. The one most used by the erstwhile trainer is a mixture known simply as "Himel". This fearful concoction was developed by Him and only he knows its formula. Taking a hand ful of the mixture, Ilim spreads it on generously to the injured portion and quite often where there is no injury and then stands back and grins with tiendish glee. "This stuff will make him either run or fly," he whispers aside in true villian style. The victim sits there quietly for thirty seconds (during which time he could have bombed-out of 'okio) and then suddenly finds him self glued to the ceiling. After the first leap of the poor soul, he bounds from the table like a fly taking off and dives into a huge tub of water which Him keeps ready for such purposes. Steam envelopes him and three days later after the fog has lifted, the victim says. "That Himel is hot stuff, ain't it?" Some say that it is hotter than red pepper applied with a blow torch. Another of Him's cure-alls is a< solution on alcohol and other unnamed ingredi ents which Him calls "Oil" because 'Him oils him up with this, make him run faster." Asked what he thought of this year's team, Him revealed that he thought that even though they were 'smaller men than previously made tip the Gamecocks, "We gonna win sonie ball games this year." His only fear in the wvhole wide world is riding in an airplane. Last year, rumors were running wild that the team was to fly to Fort Benining for a game. Him found otit and nearly had nervous prostration un til lhe found that it was only a rumor. "Him likes to ride the Streamliner, and Him likes to fly too--on the ground". It is imp~os sible to pin Him down and show him that riding in an airplane is really safer than in a car. "I'mi a Christian and the Lord takes care of me, but I'm scared he might slip up," is Him's favorite argument. Always with a grin three feet widle and with abounding supply of witty sayings, Him is the morale -btuilder of the Camecocks. fM l y-On Ground" cock Trainer icine-man Concocts mything But Insanity Natatorium Open To All Students Rules Governing Use Of Pool Set Forth It has just been announced that the University natatorium will be open five times a week, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:30 to 5:30, and on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights from 7:15 to 9:00.
