"Romping" Rodgers will not be a member of North Carolina'
football squad this year. To the uninitiated, Rodgers is th<
lad who racked up of U.N.C.'s 2} points against Carolina lasi
season. Also absent fronm the Tarheel roster will be the birotheri
Poole, along with the other members of the U.N.C. forwar
wall. Barney, the end, has joined the ranks of grid greats wh<
will reside within the confines of the Naval Academy for th(
duration of the forthcoming campaign; while Oliver. the tackle
has been transferred. For those with bad oNemorips t was Olive
who made about 50% of the tackles in the U.S.C. game.

don't see how they can maiss. With Alabam's Whitiire an
Jenkins, North Carolina's Poole and Navy's Hamburg ac
Smith, their squad will probably boast more All-American tha
any team in the country. Of course, the boys from West Poini
will probably argue the question bt as to the final issue thm e
can be little doubt.

Newton four tackles with college experience. If nothing d

the backfield. An adequate tailback is yet to emerge from th

Battalion 3A De
In Intra-Battalic
By MAJED AKEL
Last Monday night a swimming
meet was held in the University
natatorium by the members of Pla
toons 3A and 4A of Battalion 44 of
the V-5 Preparatory School. Al
together there were seven competi
tive events and a diving exhibition.
The meet was put on under the in
structions of Lieut. (jg) J. B. Thune.
The first event was the 50 yard
elementary back (or inverted
breast) stroke. Cadets Stradly,
Watson, and Graves represented
:A, while Shimmel, Ross, and
Heidorn represented 4A. Cadet
Ross came in first, followed by
Heiden and Graves.
In the second event, the 50 yard
free style, Cadets Ensign, Bowman,
a;nd Hagaman represented .A, and
their opponents were Pederson and
Goman. This event was very close
and brought the score to 9-9. En
sign came first, closely followed by
Bowman and Pederson.
Strauss Cops 50
In the 50 yard breast stroke,
Stranss, Wilsie and Lomb repre
sented 3A, and Quiglev, Ross, and
e from 4A. At the
start of the gun the contestants
dived in and began to swim. Strauss
was ahead, closely followed by Ross
and Quigley. With a final burst of
speed Strauss reached his goal beat
itg Ross by a second.
The fourth event was the 200 yard
free style relay. Watson, Hicks,
Taylor, and Ensign were from 3A;
Couch, Pederson, Swanson, and
Ross from 4A. This was a hot
struggle, with each platoon cheer
ing its men. Four A seemedl to lbe
ahead for thme first 501 yards, but
when Taylor went in, they lost the
lead. Ensign went in to deliver the
final blowv, heating Ross by a mat
ter of secondls.
A rather interesting event was
thme clothes race, in wvhich each conm
testant had to swim 50. yards with
his clothes on. Stratuss, Howman,
andl Albert rep)rceentedl 3A, and(
P'ederson, Schinimel and H eideon
were from 4A. This was a somte
what eveci race' until P'eder*soni
started getting ahead to wini, fol
lowed by Shimmiel and Hiowmani.
Diving Exhibition
The diving exhibition, although
not part of the actual meet, was just
as good. T)iose taking part were:
n signm, Hlowmani, G~ardner, I1.ombiI,
and Recheunacher. T1hey did front

Bell Not To Play
For '44 Gamecocks
Vernon Bell, ex-varsity guard at
the University of Minnesota, will
not play for U. S. C. this fall head
coach "Doc" Newton reveaJed last
week.
Bell, a '-12 trainee, played fresh
man ball under the tutelage of Ber
nie Bierman and Dawson of Minne
sota and held down a second string
guard berth his sophomore year un
til a fractured collar bone benched
him for the remainder of the sea
son. The following year he was
taken over by the navy.
It was while he was in the fileet
that Bell received the knee injury
which will prevent his playing with
the Carolina team this fall.
His presence will be sorely missed
as he was being depended upon to
plug one of the vacant guard slots
which are present in the Carolina
forward wall.

one of their own.
Next came the 200 yard candle
relay. In this race the contestants
were required to swim with one
hand while holding a lighted candle
with the other. If at any time the
candle went out the contestant had
to come back, relight it, and start
over. \Vilhie, Stradley, Haworth,
and Lomb were the 3A representa
tives, and Pederson, Heiden, Swan
son and Korndoerfer were from 4A.
At the last lap of his journey
Heiden let his candle blow out, and
he had to return to light it, thus
giving the race to Stradlcy of 3A.
The Score ..t this timc wvas en n iin
favor of' 3A.
Water Polo Finale
The last and probably most en
joyed event was water polo. There
were seven players from each pla
toon. The object of the game was
to try to make as many goals with
the ball in the given length of time
as possible. Cadets Morris, Strauss,
G;ardner, Taylor, Stradley, Miara
thon, \1 uhler, \Vilsie, and Bryan
were the 3A players; and Auigley,
Pederson. Swanson, Schimmel,
Baker, Korndoerfer, Weitent, and
Ross were from 4A. It was an ex
citing struggle. First one team
would get the ball only to lose it
when its member was ducked in.
The ball went back and forth for
several minutes before laker of 4A'
made the first point. Quickly tak
ing the advantage of the somewhat
confused opponents, Ross made a
second point, only to be- followed
by a third by Schinmmel. By now
the 3tAs were getting hot, but they
didn't seem to be dloing anything,
because Quigley took thet batll add
with agile speed threw the ball past
Strauss for a fourth goal. Swanson
ended the game with a fifth goal,
The times and winners of these
events were as follows: 50 yard ele
mnentar-y back stroke, Cadet Ross
in 316.6 seconds; 50 yard free style,
Cadet Ensign in 27.8 seconds; 50
yardl breast stroke, Cadet Strauss in

Four Fights Make Up Card
Of Affair At Field
House
Four six-minute boxing bouts will
make up the card of the Navy
smoker to be held tonight at 7:00
p. m. in the Field Housc.
The smoker, which will be open
to civilian and navy students alike,
is sponsored by the YMCA and pro.
moted by George Hampton, e:.
submarine man.
The fights feature !Lungo vs.
Jesse James at 125 pounds, Brown
vs. Hudkins at 135 pounds, C. C.
Grady vs. Davis at 145 pounds and
a fourth fight which is yet to be
matched.
No Experience
Of the six men participating only
two, Mungo and Grady, have any
previous experience. Mungo has
participated in ten "smoker" bouts.
Of this number he has nine wins
and one draw to his credit. Grady,
who boxed in the Submarine
Chaser Training Center league has
three draws and one loss to his
credit in Navy competition.
Jesse James, who is matched with
Mungo, quoted: "I haven't had any
experience but I expect to win the
decision due to the fact that I'm
going to wear red polka dot trunks
and a red and white candy-striped
dressing gown into the ring. My
opponent should be overwhelmed."
Schedule Being Prepared
The full schedules of all
Carolina opponents for 1944 is
being prepared for Gamecock
readers by the Sports Depart
ment and will appear in an early
issue. Watch for it.
