-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.

Corsairs Drill
5 Hours a Day
For Practice
Those blue-unformed, white glov
ed gentlemen who have thrilled
spectators at the Gamecocks' home
games for the past two years, will
take the field between halves again
this year. 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. Physical
Ed Instructor Art Fourier, who i
helped organize the original team 1
when he was connected with the (
Unit as Chief Specialist several i
years ago, is giving the boys a guid- I
ing hand and little good advice now
and then.
The roster of Carsairs for the '45 1
season is as follows: Leader, H. M. i
Hewell; MPO, W . H. Townsend; i
Squad Leaders, Bob Rowan, Oli- i
phant, E. B. Mitchell. G. D. Kiser; j
Right Guide, Jim Martin; Members,
McDonald, Farris, Hartz, Bru
ton, Tye, Vick, Butler, Grissom,

wick, Cirus, Magnini, Skalanga, Jar
rett, Steen, J. F. Chapman, Garner,.

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

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

Being without any kind of news,
we resort to allowing Martha Hal

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.
