Chick'en In The Rough By Chick Shiels This marks the final edition for the Winter Term of 194-6' and with its closing there are just a few things we'd like to say. This afternoon at 1415 a group of men will (ion that Gold Bar as a climax to many months of hard work and with this commissioning exercise we want to make with our siceres'L good wishes to all and very smooth sailing in the days to come. Carolina will lose a crowd of fine guys to the affairs of the Briney Blue and it is hoped that we who are left to "carry on" will be able to do the great job that the aforementioned so capably performed. To all, without hesi tation, Good Luck and Bottoms Up!!!! Before really attacking the Sports Trail another good v word for Roy Neal, his Carolina Caviliers, and all who made the evening so en.ioyable on Friday last. That Navy Ball will not be put out of mind for many moons to come. The Armory was decorated to the ole "T" and the music -as ultra-ultra . . . again many thanks for a fine evening. That's about all we have to say along those lines so-o-o leave us look into the crystal ball and see what gives there. BASKETBALL The Johnson -Jolters have given the home-towners plenty to crow about in the last fortnight. We won't have time to! bring the season right up to date for the basketeers will meet Wake Forest later tonight and by that time we all hope that this publication will be well on its Way to "bed." But the f G&B have really climbed up on the wagon of late and run their string of wins to five. The cagers have annexed wins from Furman, Clemson, Georgia, Citadel, Georgia Tech in rapid succession after having dropped never-should-have been's to Clemson, Furman and Georgia Tech all away from the roost. We won't try to cover all completely for that will be done elsewhere on this page, but we do want to say that the clan has given a fine account of themselves. Steve Trew hella, Warren Foote, Nick Philbin, Phil Mallis, "Wild Wil liam" Pizz:a. "Cooter" Giles, "Crick" Talus aind Ken Tarbell have put out all for the cause and canl rest assured that their labors were not in vain. All of the tilts have been thrill ing from the cash-customers point of view but none really , can surpass that exhibition against Clemson. The moral sup port was TH ER E and the iearn didn'i let the followers down one bit. . . . What a match! The Birds wasted no time in letting their presence be felt and the outcome was most leasing. To the coach and his team for the fine bout . . . Many Thanks. To the fans for their tonsil splitting chatter, . . . 4.0. And so much for bucketball, we can't afford to spend too much time on this material when it'll be covered by those better equipped than we. . . . Amen. "INSIDE THE COOP" Just a word to the wise. Joe Patrone, former president of the Block "C" Club has taken over a fine little gathering place down on lower Main street and is in the process of turning up with THE place for the Carolina men and women to down the Java. Running under the title of "Lower Main Street Lunch" at this point, Joe tells us that as soon as the sign comes it'll read "Collegiate Inn" with "The Gamecock Room" in the rear where all of the roosters can dance with their hens (excuse girls, it's gotta sound that way for clarity's sake) while putting some good chow awa- in the * off moments. Lest we forget. . . . The Collegiate Inn is the place to go. . (We can feel the Advertising Union's breath on our necks now.) The other day we, of the Chicken Farm, celebrated one of many birthdays and strangely enough someone presented the bald lad with two very cute little "Chicks" (biddies they tell me). They are of undeterminable sex but are awe-inspir2 ing to say the least. The larger one of the two is black and a dlecided bully, while the smaller member is a modified. beer' color and rather shy about the whole thing. If anyone has any suggestions about raising them in or around Pres-. ton, will they please address their advise to Box 2136 at the earliest possible moment. Also we are contemplating a con test in search of two appropriate names. The prizes will run something like this-: 300 (lays leave for Navy men, new ,cars andl clothes for the civilian-brothers-in-arms and mucho nylons, Van Johnson's and etes. for the fairer sex. D)octor, we'll have that other' h,1 po now. . . . Sentry call us a cloud, we've got a (late on the moon. . . . And so it goes!' No, but really the little devils are the royal nuts and1( pro v'ide many hour's of entertainment. The smaller' chickie looks like a woodpecker . ..."ed on the head." But they're -"D)ubbs" and that's good, so here's to the eggs in a short while. RIGHT OFF THE NEST '''Somehow or other this dloesn't look like much of a SPORTS C'olyum to us. . . .

WOW. . . . It w~as the best chow in a long time and quite enough to fill all gullets. . . . The speakers were fine andI in general all members had a peach of a time.. . . The boxing team dropped a tough one to North ('arolina on Friday evening, 5-3.... A good crowd turned out to watch the locals in action....

Bot h young ladies have been doing a fin' job of cheerleadi ng t hrouaghout the foothall and basketball seasons and the Club awarded them these pins for their efforts.

The Gamecocks went away to a slow lead, and as time went Dy the margin continued to grow. At one point during the game's program, the Birds found them ;elves on the right sidf of the books by 20 markers. The Techmen were not to repeat their previous 10 count victory. rhis was evident as the Birds pass ed with skill and shot with appall-: Ing accuracy to move ahead and never be edged by the Atlanta crew. Big Jim Doyle stole all scoring honors for the evenings work as he poured 21 tallies through the bucket despite the eagle eye of War ren Foote, who seemed powerless at times to stop the "string bean's" attack. Doyle rung up 9 out of a possible 10 free throws which ac counted for a great percentage of his total. Steve Trewhella and Ken Tarbell shared the top rung for the Johnson quint with 13 counters while Giles. Mallis and Foote chalk ed up 8 apiece. This event was sparked with the same type of play that has been in evidence ever since the G & B came home after their fateful road-trip on which they fell before Furman. Clemson and Georgia Tech, all of whom were to he soundly heaten when they paid a visit to the Caro lina roost.

Outlook Bright Veteran Birds Rifle and Pistol Teams VervActive In National Match Since the beginning of this pres -nt term, both the rifle and pistol Leams have been very busy with all sorts of matches. The pistol crew has done the greater amount of work in winning matches from such notables as Michigan, Yale, Mar juette, Coast Guard Academy, North Carolina, Duke, Geoigia Tech and many others, but the rifle wielders have not exactly been standing still. They turned in better than average scores in the Hurst National Trophy shoot and National NROTC Trophy event both of which were fired only a shott while ago. Under the capable eye of Chief Gunner's Mate Dewey, both teams have woiked hard and long to put otit the best sco es possible, and walk off with many wins. It is an ticipated, next term, that both squads will take to the road and fire various matches in the south ein conference which will really de velop a keen competition among the various schools. When approached on the subject Davey said, "I'm looking forward to an even hetter set of scores from both teams next term. The boys practice hard and want to win.
