"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.
