Chick'en In The Rough By Chick Shiels . now that the long-awaited Block "C" initiation has come and gone and your humble servant has gotten his "form" back Inside a set of sailor blues we shall pause from the ways of the civilized woild and take a rather hurried look at the events around ye olde Gamecock roost . . . thusly We speak rather blandly of the Block "C" initiation. But in reality it was a barrel of fun up until the time that the grand finale was due. This was the pay-off. We were in structed to play cheerleader at the half of the Junior Varsity game which preceeded the Georgia-Carolina scrap on last Friday eve. Now outwardly this seems little enough to ask of a Block "C" aspirant, however it was not exactly to our utter poy when we found ourself clad in the garb of la femme (it's French) cheerleader complete with all "accessories" in front of all the howling millions in the Fieldhouse. But so it goes and the time was really great. Surprisingly enough it was most enjoyable even though our skirt was too long. At times we can really appreciate these women and their var ious modes ... ah-h-h yes. Above and beyond the call of duty, we also found some extra-cirrucular duties to perform for the Block "C" outfit during this very memorable Friday ight, January 18, in the year of our Lord-'46. It was so arranged that the brawny football players were to knock heads at the half time period of the Jay Vee-787th Inf. game. We drew the referee detail which just about cost us life and limb besides three molars. In all sincerity, many big times were had. Over to you. We're not going to attempt to cover all of the recent matches of the Carolina Courtmen, that would take more reams than Searson could afford but we will enlarge upon the Georgia-Carolina tussle that sent the packed Fieldhouse into a mild state of hysteria. The lads displayed their finest brand of ball on that occasion, which incidently was also last Friday night. The score of 42-30 doesn't come near tell ing the whole story for too much transpired in the 40 min utes of play. Never in the evening's entirety did the Bulldog visitors go ahead. At one pernt, the half to be exact, the score was knotted at 21-21 and this was the only moment that the Georgia lads had any adva.itage at all. The club was superb and no doubt at all of this fact. It is hard to single out any player or combinations of s.ame that was particular ly outstanding. Our vote goes to the entire aggregation for their splendid work. To mention some of the clan: The Up per Peninsula boys (that's in Michigan, gang) "Lover-Boy" Trewhella, his younger kin, "Tweedel-lee-dee, cha-la" Trew hella and Crick "Esquire" Talus were working like champs. Ole Man Mallus. "Nickery-Nick" Philbin and Kenny Tar bell offered many thorns to the Gaw-gia side. We wonder where "Wild William" Pizza gets all of his much gusto? A newcomer to the roost, Pizza doesn't quite savvy the word quit and his work on the court is a fine example of this state ment. Warren "Get off my back" Foote was also to be reckoned with as the night wore on. And last but not least-the car riers of Garnet and Black glory on the grid: J. Meeks (Inc.), "Cooter" Giles and "The ole Landlady," Jay Hanson showed the throng that they are proficient on the turf and the hard wood. Defensively as well as offensively, the Birds were strong and determined, and we doff the size 7 to bo0th the clan and their boss, Coach Anderson, for' a smooth perfor mance against a supposedly "hot" ball club. I speck, they'll be thinkin' different from now on. (Just betw~een thee and We-never undlertake the gallant profession. of referee. They tell us that the Insurance Companies refuse to write policies for them in the puurty striped shirts . . .we can always sell apples. There's no pain or strain in that line.) A note to all diamond (lusters: If any one is interestedl in purchasing a good pair of Baseball shoes, size 9%j, he may contact your scribe in Pr'eston 116. This is a paid ad vertisement, brought to you through the courtesy of Jack The-Ri pper's Goodee Shoppe located in the Pee-Dee Swamp. By way of note the Navy has seen fit to cast a celebrity into our midst. He comes in the guise of an Athletic Spec. 1-C. The gent in mention is none other than Dewey Proctor an All-American footballer from the Furman Fold and most recently hanging his shoulder p)ads at Bainbridge, Mary landl undler the USN's watchful eye. Proctor is just about Mr. Football personifiedl here in South Carolina and it's too bad that he couldn't have come (luring the season and put in a little time under the McMillan regime. There would have been many surprising features effecting the opposition in the wrong places-the score sheet! The word going round is that the Carolina gridmen for the 1946 season will begin Spring training on the first day of March. With the load of material that will present itself, the Birds will really give the hometowner's something to crow about when the official season rolls around in late Sep tember. The schedule includes, 'Bama, Duke, Tennessee, Clemson and others which provide quite a bit of excitement in these here parts. CUT RATE DRUG STORE 1530 Main Street Gam-e Duke Tramples At Raleigh Me. To Lead Southe A second meeting with the South ern Conference leading Duke Blue Devils proved no -halpier for the Gamecocks than their first meeting of the season, because the Dukers walloped the Birds, 55-33. Jumping to an early lead the Blue Devils coasted all the way* to final victory with most of their substi tutes seeing action. The only time Carolina led -the Devils was in the first few minutes of play when Bill Pizza sank three field goals to set the score up at 6-5. From there on out it was Duke's game all the way. The Gamecock's substituted freely too, but it wasn't because they were ahead, it was because Coach Ander son was searching for the proper combination. That he was unoble to find that combination was evi denced by a half-time score of 34-16. The Duke offense was sparked 1) a r(urned veteran, John Seward, formerly a war prisoner of the Ger mans. And Carolina couldn't stop this lanky dischargee who sank his shots from almost any spot on the court. Seward played only part time but racked up 19 points to lead the night's s e o r i n g. Koffenberger. Duke's star center. was next high man with 11 points, while Pizza and Gordon, a substitute Blue Devil tic-d for third place with ten points each. One of the bright spots in the lGamecock's loss was tihe noticelble improvenent over earlier games Th. 1IArd's chief difficulty is still the lack of ability to retlieve shots from the backboard. but they have deveioped their passing game and ability to handle the hall so that they are under the opponents' goal more often now than ever before. Foul shooting is still noticeably weak. Nineteen free throws were missed in th! - . points were lost that possibly could have been saved. Still. sports fans cannot speak too harshly of the Gamecock Five when they realize just how much improvement Carolina has shown in 'ecent games (The Citadel game excepted).

Horseback Riding IN THE NEAR FUTURE golf, tennis, and horseback riding will possibly be offered in the physical education department. There are no definite plans made yet, but the grapevine tells me they may be offered here next semester. These course would be vcry valuable to each and every student here at Carolina. The post-war era has nade these possible and they aie part of the extended physical edu cation program which Carolina will offer. Many students on out cam. pus cannot engaged in the more strenuous sports as baseball, foot ball. basketball, track. etc., but such pastimes as golf, tennis, ping pong. fencing, and volleyball would offer wholesome and entertaining recreation. Tnis could also start the upgrade in inter-collegite sporls at Carolina and serve as basis lot new and better school spirit. Let , all work logether and build upr spirit to new heights. A few se lected students can't carry the load because they need the support of the entire student body. When you leave for that ball game always take your roommate or one of your friends. If we all do that, then ann only then, can we have that OLE SCHOOL SPIRIT.

S New Program Installed In Physical'Ed The physical education depart ment of the University of South Carolina Will use the pre-rogistra tion information now being gathered by the iegistrar's offk.e to plan their program for the coming se )nester, Arthur Fourier, Instructor, has announced. "Crowded conditions and winter weather limited space thIs semester, 'Mr. Fourier said, but good weather, -with the,added use of the outdoors, should bring forth better physical ieducation programs." Veterans enrolled at the Univer sity were not required to take phy sical education, throligh some tegistered voluntarily. Those men were placed in a sports piogram. This program was not entirely sue cessful this semester, department heads said, because of crowded con ditions. The following program has been set up for the physical education classes beginning next semester Veterans will still not be required to participate, but may elect the course. 1. Physical Fitness-minimum re quirement of two semesters. 2. If, at the end of the secono semester. a prescribed standard ol fitness is attained, the student maN elect one of four sports programs The standard of fitness includes. 30 pushups. 12 pullups, 65 situps 1-2 mile in 2.45, and mile in 7 min. utes. The sports programs are: 1. Swimming, softball, and golf. 2. Handball, volleyball, basketball. 3.

'I IM chedu.I Rose Bowl Cho Play In Caroli Rex Enright, director of ath letics 'at the University of South Caroliha has released its official eight game football schedule call Ing for .four home games. These home games will be played against Newberry, Alabama, Clemson and Duke. 'Games away from home will in-. elude a night tussle with Furman at Greenville, the classic meeting with The Citadel at the Orange burg county fair, Maryland at elth, e -'Washington or Baltimore and Wake Forest at Charlotte. The season will start off with Carolina meeting Newberry here on September 28. Last year's In dian team wqs too weak to face the Birds, but not tod 'weak to twice thrash the South Carolina JayVees..Next season, with the re turn of mpt)y veterans, they hope to regain their pre-war standard, but the game shouldn't he too close a contest. Then on Oelober 5, Alabama's Crimson Tide, led by All-Ameri cans Harry Gilmer and Vaughn Mancha Journeyed up to Columbia to meet the Gamecocks. Last sea. son's Rose Bowl champions will be the team to beat in the Southern Conference, and the Dords should provide a healthier struggle than he 1945 run-around. The Birds take to the road on October 11, traveling all the wal to GLeenville to tussle with thc Furman Hornets in a night thil. er. This game marks a re-appear. A Birdseye Vie, String Guard, I Phil Mallis, a dark-haired, like able, rich-voiced NROTS, Is a main stay of the University of South Carolina cage team this winter 'Old Man," as he is sometimes call ed by his teammates, has plenty of basketball behind him. Attending Tilden. high school in Brooklyn, N. Y., he was the first string centeC ndulne oi ihe high point men of that team. Leaving high school in 1940, Phil went to work and was out of ath letics, more or less. Entering the navy in April, 1943, he went to the naval training station at Sampson, N. Y., and after boot training was transferred to Miami, Florida, for general duty. His' duty at Miami lasted only bix months, for he was soon to be sent to V-12 clolege training at Emory University in At lanta, Georgia.

It'll be Gamecocks versus Tigers in the State Fair classic on October 24th, and that game needs no go ing over. On November 1, the Carolina Citadel grudge fight will be taken up where the war forced it to be dropped after the 1941 tilt. The Orangeburg County Fair will be the scene of the contest, and new seats are being considered to re place those destroyed by. the storm last year. Following the Citadel game, Car olina will take the road up north to meet Maryland at either Wash ington or Baltimore on November 9. This will be the second meeting of the two teams, now both mem bers of the Southern Conference, and the Birds will be out to avenge last seaeson's 19-13 loss. On November 16, USC will play Duke here in the Carolina Stadium. This game, as vell as the Alabama game, should draw the largest pos sible crowd because of their 1945 records and their 1945 meetings with Carolina. The season will close against Wake 'orest in Charlotte on Thanksgiving Day. Miami Univer sity, who played to a tie against Carolina last season, tried to ar range a meeting, but accoiding to Enright could not provide us with a date which we had not already filled. w Of First Phil Mallis tailed because of the nonipaiicipa. I tion in college athletics which Em ory follows. He engaged in Intra mural athletic, though, and kept the feeling of comp.etition in his sytem. Mallis was transferred to tihe Gamecock roost in July, 1944, where he entered the NROTC program. Basketbaii. roaile around last win ter, and when the candidates re ported, this dark-hairedt left-hander was out there in the field house looping them in. Due to an injured knee and foot, Phil didn't reach his peak all season. Bei4g the num ber d man on the Carolina five, Phil was always a sparkplug and a good competitor. When Coach Dick Anderson blew the starting whistle this winter, Phil and his running mate, Nick Philbin, were the experienced play ers appearing on the hardwood. During the present season, Phil has been outstanding as a ball handler and a fine team man, but also get ting his share of the points. Being a fine defensive man, Phil earned a starting berth in the guard posi tion, hut due to a sharp shooting eye and an uncanny faking power, he has been shifted to the center position. This change will give him more chance to raise his scoring to tal and moreover will contribute to Carolina's offensive power, which they have lacked in games with Duke and UNC. Phil, being the strong, silent type, is fond of good food, Pinochle, and A "BRUNETTE" women. Sounds as if it would be a wonderful life, doesn't it? This is all the wor d we have on the "OLD MAN," so I hope we have acquainted you with a fIne fellow and a darn good athlete.
