Chick'en In The Rough By Chick Shiels We greet the New Year of 1946 with the usual eagerness and highx hopes of bigger and better things to come-leave us all hope that we will not be disappointed. In the waning moment of '45 quite a few pernts of interest came by the boards and these, coupled with recent developments, shall be aired here. . . . FOOTBALL The tense expectancy of Jacksonville was finally broken and the lads began active workouts for the 'Gator Bowl on Friday, Dec. 28. Conditioning, heavy workouts and new plays were the order of the day in all sessions preceding the Gar net and Black's first appearance in a Bowl affair. The gang was ready to go, and, on a bright, sunny, but rather windy New Year's PM the match was on. Approximately 13.000 non-partisan fans watched the Wake's Deacons rip and roll to a first period score which further backed up the scribe's guesses that the Deac's would experience little trouble with our Birds. But these same fans stood open-mouthed as the half came to an end with the underdog in the lead by a 7-6 count, thanks to the Haralson-Brembs-Giles combine which tossed all possible wood on the hearth to perform in fine style. To those that have followed the Birds on all exp)edi tions, this second quarter splurge was most unusual for not until the second half did the Macmen ever begin to work like the champs that they were. But never-the-less all boosters felt that the lads had found their stride early and were de termined to bounce back and take home the bacon. 'Fact is we pulled no punches on the radio in telling all iion-believers that the end had come for the Wake. WJAX will never for give us for this major faux pas. Anyhoo, as half No. 2 rolled around the G&B began their march again but the breaks, were against them as the Deacons held on their own 20. And here the Yellow and Black unleashed all possible power on the home towners and eleven plays found the Wake adding another tally. The tussle from here until the waning moments was all Sacrinty-Brinklev and Wake Forest as the lads be came more and poohed out in the face of 'he constait on slaught but the previously mentioned "waning minutes" (sec onds, we should say) were THE thrilling seconds. Leave us enlarge on ts S.Ctio. With no more time left in the game than it takes to write this, the "Flyin' Dutchman" gathered in a Wake pass on his own ten and raced un1totuchled for 90: yards to add the final score of the tilt. The Brinkley, Sacrinty Corporation might have exhibited some fine ball but no ef-I fort during the afternoon was near as thrilling as "l)utch" Brembs' jaunt to end his football career, for the present, here at Carolina. The New Jersey product did nothig but run but this was enough to give any safety man the usual bad time as he stepped off the distance in good 10 second style. Pete Lane added the extra point to close the first bowl game in Jacksonville, Florida. with the ministers-to-be in the driv ers seat by a 26-14 margin. It was evident from the start that the Deacons were not going to he satisfied with any half way measures on this go rouind. It had to he all or nothing for them. We don't think that the 1:8-I:8 tie on Thanksgiving Day added any jioy to the North Carolina camp~us. They gained their victory--the hard way-to avenge the red faces* suffered in Charlotte. It was interesting to note the play of' the two centers. l"ore man- and our own .Junior Meeks. As all will remlembler that Associated Pr'ess p)ickedl Foremian over Meeks for All-South ern piv'ot man. The "Meek" was dlefinitely' far superior to Foreman who inade no terrific showving dutiring the day's work. Maybe that's the reason the famous l)hilosopher once said, ''They put erasers on pencilIs for one sole punrpose, peo pIe make so many mistakes." Meeks tallied another full sixty minutes of work, each played to the ole '"" which is notable in itself. Right across the Iinew, the G;&B looked good but when they tiredl there were none to replace the regulars and this is what tells as the game wears on. Buddy Riggs turned in his finest game of the season with sterling lay on both offtense and defense. "Big George" McDonald and .Jim Strobel, assist ed by Joe Spivey and "The Old1 Sea D)addy," I look lIelmly were strong at the tackles. Pete Lanhe. Ken IHuffmnan, "The Nut'' Botkinis and "'IIee- Yah'' Da ni(els did their best at gutardl while The Meek was superlative. In the seconidaryv, Brembs, Gliles, Har'alson, Carr' and Hanson gave the crowdl all the thrills and chills they could mnuste'r. The latter', "Swede" IHan son, did a masterful piece of field genieraish ip in setting up the Carolina dlefense and assisting in evr play. In the third quarter he was carried from the field af'ter' giving all for the cause. Though our boys lost their final match much can be said for the way that they accep)ted( def eat.

C. st Clothing ND FURNISHINGS Birds and Ra On Home Cou Follow JayVel By SAUL LAVISKY The University of South Carolina Gamecocks will meet the Red Raid ers from Fort Jackson on their own home floor tonight, without much of a record, but with determination and the will to win. The Birds have tasted defeat three times thus far, winning only their game against a smaller Newberry squad. In the opening game, the Game cocks were matched against the de fending Southern Conference cham pions, the North Carolina White Phantoms. Although the Birds held them to a 6 point lead In the first half, paced by Dillon, N. C.'s candidate for All-American honors, the Phantoms had no trouble at all putting the game on ice. The final score was 56-32. The second game of the season ts a home game against the Duke Blue Devils. Once again experience was the deciding factor. The Game cocks just weren't prepared to handle a team like Duke. Though they led the Blue Devils at the half, it was due solely to some bril liant long shooting, since the Birds were unable to work the ball through the Duke defense for an open shot. Carolina wasn't able to follow up shots either, losing the hall to Dike every time. Soon after the second half got undcr way, the Blue Devils' criss urcss got the Birds off-balance, and Duke tucked the game under their arm, walking off with it by at scor*' of 5?-35. The III id g ae was played a-ainst I snallet anid weaket team. file Newberry Indians. It became evidei t i ihe beginning that Car olina was far superior, and almost all the players on the squad had a rack at the Newberry quint. it was all Foote's show as time and again he outiumped his rivals for ilossession of thle ball or. to tap it into the basket. Steady playing by the Birds wasn't enough to crack the Cherry Poilt defense in Wednesday's game. Although at one time the Carolina playes came within a single point ff the Marines, some rapid tallying and a tightening of their defense barred the Gamecocks from a pos sible victory and refused to even let them narrow the margin. Tie rinal score was 45-35. MEET YOUR 1705 Mai A MEAL IN EVE Delicatessen-Rye & Every Day Is a HoIl E NG LIT HOG I iders Scrap rt; Game Will e Preliminary The Gamecocks have been losing these games primarily because they lack experience. Nick Philbin and Phil Mallis have been holding down the guard posts in a steady manner, but the Birds' slow breaking attack fails to jar their opponents. In stead it serves to give them more time to prepare themselves. And on the defense, the Carolin iang failure to get the ball off the backboard has cost them many a two-pointer. Only their team spirit plus cooperation has enabled them to do as well as they have. It all boils down to this: The Gamecocks lack experience and the ability to handle the ball rapidly. The Carolina quintet is composed of inexperienced players and until they've had time to develop. there is no point In getting upset over losing games. All of us students feel had abo(it the depressive string of losses we've rolled up so far. We haven't any firehiallis oil this year's team as we did last year. and we aren't expect ing anywhere near the record of the *45 quintet. if we can just he patient long enough, and get out and support our team, eventually they will develop and grow into a team we can boast about.
