Center South Carolina Team Five Is Still First in Navy Tourney With only two weeks of play re maining in the Navy softball league, Team 5 held a 1 1-2 game lead over Team 3. All teams play a total of 18 games each and there are only 4 to be played. This fact places a definite strain on Team 3 as they will have to win all of their re maining games and heat Team 5 to cop the regimental champion ship, while Team 5 needs to win 3 out of the remaining five to win honors. Team play during the next week should take a definite upgrade as the lower teams are battling it out for the runner-up spot and the standings should change. Those teams having the service1 of football during their recent lay off didn't fare so well after theyl returned to their football chores. Examples of this are Teams 2 and 1 who lost the services of Junior Meeks and Steve Trewella plus Tommy Carr.

Theory Courses In Physical Edu November; Fout Carolinians will he glad to wel come back to the campus, one of their long-lost. acquaintances. the theory courses in Physical Educa tion. These "gone-due-to-the-war courses were very popular in pre Pearl Harbor days bit since the depletion of the Physical Education staff, the courses were discontinued in favor o' practical training. President Smith. after a series of conference with Coach Frank De Mars, consulted with Rex Enright, former Athletic Director at Caro lina who plans to return to USC in December, and decided to put the ory courses back into the Carolina curriculum. This is the end of a long cam paign by Coach De Mars, who has been trying to reinstate these courses for some time. It was Coach De Mars who gathered material to gether to convince President Smith and Rex Fnright, that Carolina was ready to receive again, Physical Ed ucation theory courses. And it was i Coach De Mars who held the class to-class canvass to find boys in- j terested in starting these courses I in the November semester.
