1B ldogs Fall On Deck with Bryant Meeks To start this biweekly edition there are .till rumors around that we have the fastest man in football on our cam pus and to confirm that fact I'll tell you a little story that made its way around to me. It seems that "Dutch" Brembs, * the football star of past season, was making a long distance phone call to another South Carolina city, and due to a mix. up in the telephone system there would be at least a six or eight hour delay. Then "Dutch," in an emotional state said to the operator, "Heck lady, my name is 'Dutch' Brembs. I can run that far in less time than you can get the call through." There are many other wild rumors around but due to unavailable space we won't expound any more.... Some of the fellows tell me that Frank Scruby and Ken Tarbell are putting on somewhat of a brother act. If you get the dope on that be sure to let me in on it. By the way Scruby deserves a big hand from all the Block "C" men for the gallant show he put on for them during the initiation of new members. All the guys had a good time and the "Olive Race" really made a hit with them. They all seem to be looking forward to the March initiation of new Block "C" men from the bas ketball squad. In the future these ceremonies, if they may be called that, will be better planned and will certainly be more campus wide. It's a lot of fun, just ask some of those fellows who have been through it. A SWELL TEAM IN THE MAKING The boxing team, returning from defeat at the hands of North Carolina, is really making a fine start and my hat is off to them. Due to the lack of equipment, time, number of men entering, and the athletic situation at Carolina, they have done a wonderful job. Remember, you pugilists, it isn't too late to make that team and represent the Garnet and Black in that squared circle. CONGRATS TO DICKY ANDERSON Dick Anderson, the recently discharged army captain, has done a swell job with Gamecock cagers so far, and we of the Gamecock sports department are sorry to see him leave us as head coach of basketball but we also hope that he will be around the campus with us. . . . Speaking of coaches, there is a strong possibility that Vernon "Catfish" Smith may be the Carolina end coach next fall. If so, it would give Coach "Rex" Enright some very worthy assistants to work with next fall in their goal to put Carolina on the top of the heap. Coach Ted Twomey has a whale of a job building a forward wall to cope with those of Duke, Alabama, Clemson, and the other strong teams which the Gamecocks tangle come Sep tember. . SPURR AND RATLIFF IN THE RUNNING Jim Spurr and Jim Ratliff will represent South Carolina In the Southeastern A.A.U. track meet next month and should do very well for themselves. Both these boys were mainstays of the Carolina cindermen last spring and both a would be back this year if a little gold stripe wasn't taking Spurr away from Carolina andl the things which are clear to him. "The Rat," as he is affectionately known by the boys in tenement 16, will be with us for his last, and we hope his best track year. Many lucks to you both, and may you win many honors for yourself and for Carolina. The Gamecock basketeers took two out of three ball games last we.ek by beating Newberry on Wednesday night, Univer sity of Georgia (my old alma mater) on Friday night, and losing to the University of North Carolina White Phantoms on Saturday. Carolina was definitely outclassed by N. C. but the Gamecocks never threw in the towel. All you fans re member that when those fellows are playing a superior team and they know YOU are behind them, they won't ever quit, no matter what the odds. . . . flasketball seems to have taken a big rise on our campus lately due to the start of In tra-Fraternity basketball1. Competition is heated and goes to prove the old point that fire between fraternity athletics isn't dead and will never be. This high spirit of competition is fine up to a certain point but when it leads to flareups and fights I am strictly agin it. Fraternity basketball as well as the Jay Vees afford every athlete, whether fraternity or non-fraternity, a wonderful chance to improve himself both physically and socially. So remember, when that old rivalry comes around just play the game to the best of your ability and let those who want to do otherwise . . . well, leave them out of your plans.

S. C. ram ecot First Victory Fo In Conference Y Into Comedy Of The fighting Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina ran roughshod over the hapless Citadel Bulldogs last Tuesday night in the field house and clinched their first Southern conference victory of the present campaign by a score of 66 29. The Gamecocks led all the way in a game that featured a brand of basketball seldom seen even in high schools. Both teams contributed their share of shoddy floorwork, wild passes that missed their mark by yards, and fumbles right and left, as should hardly be expected of two college teams of their caliber. The tilt was little more than a roughhouse brawl with 34 personal fouls being called on players of both squads. The game was filled with so much elbow-throwing and arm wrestling that the arena looked like a dance floor at times. There was little doubt in the minds of the spectators as to the outcome of the battle from the opening tipoff. The Gamecocks roared off to a fast start, racking up 12 tallies before the Bulldogs stepped into the scoring column. Led by the Trewhella brothers, the Birds hit paydirt almost at will and held a margin of 34-12 at the inter mission. After the second half began both fives sparred around for a few min utes before the fight began again.

The Gamecock offense left much to be desired for a university team but nevertheless still had its bright spots. One of them was the brilliant performance of Steve Trewhells, who started at center and sparked Lhe Bird attack with his overhead pivot-shots and sterling floor work. He personally accounted for 16 of Carolina's total number of points. Harold Trewhella, other half of the brother combination, tallied for 12 markers to make high scoring a family monopoly. Crick Talus fol lowed the two with 10 counteis in the high scoring tilt. On the defense Tarbell and Foote showed up well at times, as well as the Trewhellas, for th., Gamecocks. The Bulldog's boggy attack was headed by Jose Davila, who sunk seven points until he left the game injured. Stroman also tallied for seven counters in the slugfast, and led the so-called Citadel defense with several nice interceptions. The game was dull from the spec. tator's viewpoint and gave the Gamecocks some lousy practice for their conference tilt with Duke's high flying Blue Devils on Wednes day. 4A The right slant on refreshment UlNED SALES SUIDE YOUR I OF FALL GIFTS.
