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.

has any suggestions about raising them in or around Pres-.

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.

Big Jim Doyle stole all scoring

at times to stop the "string bean's"
attack. Doyle rung up 9 out of a
possible 10 free throws which ac

his total. Steve Trewhella and Ken
Tarbell shared the top rung for the

This event was sparked with the

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
