-USC Swimmers Vs. Congaree Air Base, 7 PM With an even .500 pet. average to date the swim team under the watchful eye of Marino A. Rossi, Sp. "A"1-C, will go into action again tonight against the offerings of the Congaree Air Base. Dropping, the Leathernecks in the previous en gagements and only bowing in de feat to the Columbia Army Air Base swinimers, the Garnet and Black will be seeking their second win in three starts. In a three way meet with the two aforementioned service teams a fortnight ago, the gang was edged by the Army Air men by one point in a hotly con tested match which will undoubted ly be run over at a later date. The results of this triangular affair were: CAAB, 25; USC, 24, and Con garee, 8 which only further Illus trates the tightness of the affair in regard to the first and second plac ers. These following men carry the Gamecock colors under fire: Spurr, the Captain; Bridgman, Moise, Phil bin, Farris, Buffington, Pead, Bolin, Black, Metier, Blalock, Gore, Lamb, all of which are NROTC students, and the only civilian member of the club, Rogers. It is hoped that there will be a good turnout for the contest on Friday night at 7:00 when the swimmers take their marks against the Marines.

The Carolina Corsairs, crack drill team of the Naval ROTC unit at Carolina, was organized sev eral years ago under the sponsor ship of Captain R. C. Needham, then commanding officer of the mil itary unit here. Last season the Corsairs were or ganized by Charles Cushman, and assisted by Chief Gunners' Mate Bond, who whipped the outfit into a precision machine. Fancy drills were collected from past teams, other schools, and professional teams, and after study and elimina tion of the undesirable ones, the re mainder were selected as the Cor sair repertoire. In charge of Corsair organization this season is Harold Hewell, ROTC man from Greenville, S. C.

Service Teams May Disband This Season It is now apparent, that service teams, among the best In the na tion during wartime, have had their day. The Army and the Navy have been making separate studies of the situation and are trying to decide If Air Force, and Navy Pre-Flight teams must cancel their 1945 sched uled games. This studying has been necessitated due to the lost of per sonnel by the armed forces. Seven commands of the air forces in this country have been given until September 15 in sellvey 'he. situation and determine whether they will field tennis or not. One pre-flight school, Georgia, has al cady cancelled its 1945 games berause of anticipated reduction In the number of trainees. The three other pre-flight schools, Iowa, St. Marys (California) and North Caro lina will probably he just as hard hit. The Navy will definitely decide within a week or so on Its post-war athletic policy, including the fu ture of pre-flight teams. Some teams hope to continue playing however. These include air stations at Jacksonville and Pen sacola, Fla., and Corpus Christi, Texas and such Navy and Marine teams as Quantico, Va., Great Lakes, Cherry Point, N. C., Porr-is Island, S.

This Story Is INQt Properly Sports, But - Being without any kind of news, we resort to allowing Martha Hal tiwanger, Jack Brett, Dorothy Phasey, and Dick Herron, to try to think of some kind of space-filler along the line of sports. Strolling through the canteen one lay in the merry month of Septem ber we saw Jessie Phasey playing the pin-ball machine. Although not winning she amassed an amazing score of 70 puials. N.4umbel 20 oi the Juke Box, "Horses Don't Bet On People" wasn't helping her along any. Incidentally, the pin-ball machine on the left hand used to pay off on 30,000; but for some mysterious ren son It now takes a score of 35,00 to win. Frankly, we don't get it either; but we think it's a dirty deal! N Already practicing canteenology are some of the new freshman co eds; but some of our handsome gen tlemen around the campus are too much interested in playing the pin ball machines. flour after hour they stand over in one corner list ening to the soft strallns of "Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well?" while their comrades try their luck at pin-ball machines. To the attention of Father Bell: We desperately need some new ping-pong balls; the last one up there in Flinn is "busted." For the sake of feuding and the , henefit of Knobby Walsh-"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." And, also for Knob by's information: "Y" lunches are tr'emendous successes even though certain people make very catty re marks about other luncheoneers. The Freshman "Y" has taken oni as one of their many projects a dancing class. This class meets twice a week on the second floor if Flinn Hail on Tuesday and Fri day from 4:00 to 5:00. If more peo pIe would turn out for this "sport" our Co-Ed dances wvould be more successful. The Junior Varsity is making big plans for several football games for this season. Their first game will # be with Newhe'rry, after which they will play Congaree and the University of Georgia teams.
