Gamecocks Hit
Third Big Week
For the past three weeks thi
''Fighting Gamecocks" of Carolina
have been hardening muscles, learn
ing plays and generally getting intc
battle trim for the coming season
which by the schedule, looks likc
one of the toughest the Garnet anc
Black has had in many years.
Of the one hundred odd men wh<
reported on the opening day of
summer practice, eighty stalwarts
are still taking the field every
week-day afternoon. The remainder
of the originals evidently found thc
sweltering Carolina sun a bit toc
uncomfortable for the wearing of
full uniform and the gruelling taska
of continually running plays.
Coach McMillan is using thc
Notre Dame system, and is running
the majority of his plays from a
'T" formation. Jim Mortimer, a
guard last year, has dropped into
the backfield, and is calling plays
from the blocking back's position.
Mortimer, along with McDonald,
Ball, Farriss, Riggs, Isom, Brembs,
and Kite, all veterans of last year's
Gamecock sqUad forms the nucleus
of this year's line-up. Several of
the newcomers are beginning to
show considerable talent in hand
ling the ball and will probably be
counted on to fill the existing gaps
In the Bird's roster. A. B. Meeks,
former Georgia player, is showing
his prowess at the center position,
as is Warren Spivey, a civilian
freshman. Displaying their talents
in the backfield are Bayard Pic
ke(t; brother of Joh nPickett, a
Birdnan of several ycarz back and
'Rabbit" Daniels, a newcomer at
fullback billet.
Practice last week had advanced
to the light scrimmage stage. These
will become heavier and more fre
quent as time passes with periods
allotted to the learning and run
ning of new plays, Ironing out ex
isting wrinkles and the hundrel
and one other odd jobs that go into
the development of a well orga
:tized and efficient bal club.
Calvin Frye, line coach, seems to
think that there is plenty of weight
and potential talent in his depart
ment, and all that is to be desired
Is experience which can come only
with practice and play.
Tommy Howell, the head man
ager, and his staff: Joe Piedmont
and Bill Brooks are working over
time to fill the needs and wants

Any Objections to This
Issue? Stinky Done It!
Something always happens to liv
en up work in the Gamecock office.
This time it's a little "Miss Mc
Cutcheon"-blonde hair, blue eyes,
and a very dirty face.
The staff was drinking cokes, so
she collected from our destitute
workers enough pennies to buy her
self a coke and a package of crack
ers. She has a very taking way
about her-and the confidence it
takes to demand-and get-pennies
from people. She says her name is
Mary C., and her brother says It's
"S'TINKY."

is keeping tabs on the equipment.
The team so far hasn't been
hampered by any injuries, but as
the practices become more strenu
ous the inevitable adhesive plasters
wil Imake their appearances. All we
can hope is that none of them are
serious and the Gamecocks enjoy
a successful season unhampered by
anything more serious than an oc
casional "strawberry."

Physical education from the ground

taining these aims.
The Clinic's course will include
refresher material on grading, ac
tivities, and tests for high school
gym classes as well as the way in

Coach Frye to
Leave Gaxnecocks,
Returns to Tenn.
Coach Calvin "Shorty" Frye, the
genial gentleman from Tennessee
who is tutoring the Gamecock line
men in preparation for the cbming
season, seems pretty optimistic
about the forward wall of the '4~
team. And judging from his past
football experience he is well qual-I
ified to pass an opinion.
Coach Frye started his pigskin
career at the University of Alabama,
where he played guard for - the
"Crimson Tide" from 1929 until
1932. He was a member of the Ala
bama team that journeyed to the
Rose Bowl in 1931.
After leaving college, Frye
coached the Union University (Jack
son, Tenn.) teams for three years.
After leaving Union he accepted a
position as coach at Tennessee Poly
technic Institute, where he re
mained until he was inducted into
the Army during January, 1944.
While serving as a member of the
Armed Forces, Corporal Frye acted
as athletic director of various Servs
ice teams.
Coach Frye was honorably dis
charged from the Army on the fif
teenth of this month, but will con
tinue coaching here until summer
practice is completed, at which time
he wvill resume -his duties as coach
et Tennessee Tech.
Coach Frye, who makes his home
at Cooksville, Tenn., has been of
great importance in shaping the
forthcoming Gamecock team, and
his separation from the coaching
staff will be a loss that we can ill
afford, but our best wishes for his
continued success will follow him
wherever he goes.
ing with a general meeting in Dray
ton Hall at 9 o'clock.
Before closing the clinic, however,
members,will discuss tWo phases of
physical education problems: (1)
General problems peculiar to S. C.
gym classes, (2) and specific prob
lems of the individual teachers at
tending the clinic..

Fritz Turner Is
Aiding USC Line
The main attraction at the Intra
mural swim meets, the centerpiece
of many a bull session, and an all
'round good fellow - w.e give you
Mannie Pinckney (Fritz) Turner.
Besides his favorite pastime of ad,
ministering calisthenics to poor
muscle sore RO's, Fritz is spending
his afternoons these days spurring
1he embi.yo Gaecock lhn on to
greater things.
In physical appearance, Fritz Is
unique on the Carolina campus.
From early March to late October
he sports a suntan that would do
any Hollywood producer proud, his
bow ties are the envy of every col
legian and he is rapidly acquiring
that which makes successful bus-'
nessmen look successful.
Coach Turner is a native Colum
bian with many years of football
experience behind him. lie started
his pigskin career with. Brooklyn
Cayce High School and the Colum
bla Inter-City League. After finish
in; high school Turner enrolled at
Carolina, and turned in three years
of variety service wit h the Game
cocks
In February of 1939, after finish
ing college, Fritz packed his bag
and reportedl to Randolph Field,
Texas wher'e he served two months
as an Aviation Cadet before being
discharged because of, eye defect.
After leaving the Air Corps, Coach
Turner assisted Coach Gressette at
The Citadel during the '39 season.
He left The Citadel at the end of
the season and returned to Colum
bia where he coached, practically
single-handed, the Brooklyn-Cayce
High School teams for'the next two
years.
Fitz came back to Carolina in
September, 1943 as instructor In
physical education. Last year he as
sisted Coach Doc Newton with the
Fighting Gamecocks, and ho's back
on the job this year. We know he
will turn' in a performance.that will
equal his record as a Carolina stu
dent-and for a fellow who pnade
letters In boxing, track and foot
hall-that's all we could ask for.

Restricted Gym Va
New Indivillualize(
The term "Restricted Cym" is
extinct. No longer need the stigma
of such an appellation cause a
student to be suspected of Gold
bricking. Students with genuine
physical disabilities nowv engage in
sports and activities that reouire
as much knowledge and as much
muscular co-ordination as any of
the moi'e strenuous sports.
In the past, it was well known that
no gym instructor could do a good
job of instructing a class composed
of both regular and restricted stu.
dents. As a result, the restricted
students had to more or less shift
for themselves. They wvere given
bows and arrows, or badminton
equipment, a- few meagre instruc-.
tions about the game, and then it
was up to them to do as much
or as little as they chose.
All this is being changed by Coach
Arthur Fourier.
As a result of his individual con
ferences with students.'on the "re
stricted" list.-he has been abLe to
group them into twvo seperate
classes, and to arrange a schedule
of activities to suit the greatest
needs of the greatest number.
In his own words', "The adapted
program in physieal education is
aimed at meeting the needs of those
students not physically qualified to
participate in the physical fitness
program.
