. . . there's a lot to cover here, be.
Ings' that we've skipped two meet
ings, so-o-o heah we all goes. . .
for security sake we'll not say much
about the Duke tilt for reasons self
evident. . . it was a tough bout and
Dukje had too much In too many
places for the Birds to handle. . .
we, of the bald headed scribes
clan, will give all warriors a big
"A" for a fine effort anyway. . .
'twas a mite different on the ole
home turf this weekend past. . .
ah, was very good to see the Car
net and Black running rampage
over the once defeated Pale Hose
from P.C. after the previous weeks'
showing. . . the only thing that was
not to your correspondents liking
was the scarcity of the crowd. . .
we were in high hopes of a big
turnout but as it came about there
was just a freckle of a throng over
6.000 paid admissions in the stands.
. . . we know that this can be en
l larged upon. . . before too much
longer in this here woik a pause
and a good word for the effort of
the cheer-leaders. . . they were all
in good form. . . in the lime light on
the green were "Moose" Maginn,
with his fine triple threat showing.
and "Dutch" Brembs, hard driving
back from up Noo Joisey way.
these two lads lead the bulk of
the offensive attack through the
Blue Stocking forward wall. . . out
standing on the defensive were Ken
lluffman and Winter Griffith. . .
here, for their weight, these boys
gave the visitors all the trouble
they could handle. . . they reminded
the onlooker of the "watch charm"
guards of some time hack. . . the
line on all occasions was fine and
gave all for the cause. . . for pay
dirt talent, the backfield was on
the ole cue ball. . . that passing
game of the McMillan outfit had
the opposition haffled, that first
heave from Maginn to "Chesto"
Farris is a fine example of this
statement, plus the toss from Ira
Schmidt to "The Kid" Brophy. . .
both were well done. . . and much
appreciated by all boosters. . . tfle
entire team with but a few excep
tions, due to injuries, saw sufficient
actIon. . . without a doubt in mind
the sterling play of the game was
Maginn's 50 yard jaunt off left tac
kle for a score. . . he hit the tackle,
picked his way under fire into the
secondary and then into the clear.
. . . from out of nowhere streaked
two of the Ilose hot on "Maggie's"
trail and just as unexpected came
Jimmy L.yles. new advancement to
the Varsity crew-.and 1enry 1uff
man to demonstrate two of the
sweetest blocks in a coons age...
these were potent to say the least
and gave Maginn a clear track for
the remaining len yards. . . hut
good, yea. . . the day for the game
was fine, a little warm but not had
for late Sept. weather here in S. C.
so they tell me. . . looks like Geor
gia gave the round toothed Tigers
''the word" in Satutrdav's fracas...

The Newberry Indians downed
the Gamecock Jr. Varsity eleven 12
0 last week hefore some 1.500 fans
who braved light rains to witness
the fray.
The underdog JayVees displayed
excellent defensive ahility all night
in holding the heavily favored New
herry eleven to their two tallies.
The Jr. Birds were never able to
get their offensive clicking.
Newheriy threatened to score
from the very beginning. Carolina
failing to gain, kicked to Newherry
on their 43 yard line. A drive spark
ed by Tow ard Rush of theNw
ry backfield placed the ball at the
Bird's 13 yard marker, the Indians
hegan to threaten. A pass, Elliott to
McCullough, went incomplete and
Carolina took over on downs. The
JayVees, attempting to punt out of
danger, had their punt partially
blocked by hard charging India'i
linesmen. Elliott broke through left
guard to score a few minutes later.
The third quarter saw the Jr.
Hird(s .ome' to life. After receiving
he kick-off. Carolina putI the hal
in pilay on their own 413 yard stripe.
Rudolph gained nine yards around

Swimming Team
Disappearance
"Big Mystery"
What has become of the swim
ming team? This question has been
3sked of the Gamecock Sports Staf
numerous times since the team was
suddenly dissolved several weeks
%go.
Well, to tell you the truth, the
team that was dissolved was not a
U.S.C. sponsored swimming team.
but a team gotten up by some of
the Navy trainees. It seems that
several semesters ago the Navy
Physical Fitness Department spoh
sored an Inter-battalion swim com
petition. When these meets were
finally exhausted several of the out
standing swimmers asked the Navy
Physical Fitness Department If
some outside competition could be
arranged. This was done, and the
team that was just. recently dis
solved was the out fit that partici
pated in these meets.
The swimmers did well by them
selves in the few meets they had,
and if it were not for the fact that
there is no more competition in
the Columbia area, the team would
still be In operation. Navy Regula
tions for the government of the
N.R.O.T.C. program state specifi
cally that "any intercollegate ath
letic teams must compete in the
name of the school and be univer
sity financed"; hence the Navy,
swimming under the Garnet and
Black could not carry a team or
engage a team where expenses may
have occurred.
Now maybe the school was not
asked for funds to support this
team. and niaybe it was. This does
not matter at the present: how
ever, it (o(s matter that the stu
dents want a swimming team. T.e
I'niversity Catalog says that this
University is represented by an in
ter-collegiate swimming team, but
whiie ipil Mgi al Oin mong some
of the second year seniors. it seems
that a pre-war swimming team was
vaguely recalled.
This is the post-war era students.
lets get on the beam and get our
swimming team back. This 'niker
sity is one of the 50 colleges and
universities in this country who
will in the next few years have
large N.R.O.T.C. units. It is reason
able to assume that winning foot
ball teams, haskethall teams, hase
ball teams. swimming teams, and
other athletic teams will be found
in these fifty schools: therefore. thle
prospects at this time, for this I'ni
versit y. are perhaps the most prom
ising they have ever been for a good
well roundled athletic pr ogram.
Not only will ther e he Navy tat
ent, but civilian talent likewise.
This has already been proven by
the fact that several civilians par
icipat ed in the servicemen's meets
held recently hy the Navy.
t.et's not pass uip this golden op
portunity to turn out winning
teams for old U'S.C. students. G;et
on the hall. and let's get our minor
sports5 to rolling again.

after three downs was forced to
punt. Melillan put in his second
team, his third team and some of
the players not on any of the fir:t
three. One of the rising backs who
shone brilliantly was Jimmy Lyles
ex-Captain of the JayVees who
played a surprisingly good game
wvhilo he was on the field.
Maginn took the ball over the
goal towrtds the close of the third
fquariter on a long fifty yard jaunt,

i,locks thrown by H1uffman and
Lyles. bisni' attempted conver

The last quartfer opened its fire
works with Daniels Intercepting a
P. pass and then running from MIS
46 to the P.C. 26. Bremhs, on an
othri off-tackle plunge, got loose
on the 26. and carried the pigskin
over for his third trip. His kick was
blocked.
Then it was Ray laghn, whose
iunning had sparked the first
Ganx(ock touchdown drive, who
carried the ball down to the Blue
Stocking's 4 \ard line. where Dan
