On The Ball
Withi
Ish Moore
a YESTERDAY'S BULL-FRESH TODAY
There'll be a hot time on Melton Field tonight-football's
back in town! Those "Black Bullies" under Captain Bo-Bo
Carter will be rough and ready and all set to tangle with
Dom Fusci's "White Wonders." But the time that final whis
tle has blown and the last block ha been thrown, Carolina
fans (and Coach Rex Enright as well), will have some idea
of what to expect from the fighting Gamecocks when next
fall (plus Duke. Alabama, and Clemson) rolls around. One
thing's certain as far as we're concerned-it'll be one heck
of a ball game. Both teams are evenly matched-and both
have competent field generals. Captain Dom Fusci, of the
Whites, a New York Yankee, proved his ability by making
All-Southern tackle before becoming one of Uncle's fighting
Bluejackets. But then, Captain 1o-Po Carter of the Blacks,
a Tar Heel from Asheville, was also an All-Southern tackle
before the war in which he served as a crew chief with the
air corps. However, Ho-Bo will shine under the lights of Mel
ton Field tonight as an end, since has was moved to that po
sition when the lack of' hard-hitting flankmen became appar
ent. Incidentally, don't be too surprised if you see last fall's
hard fighting blocking back, Swede Hanson, operating from
the center slot in this contest. Jay played center in high
school; so he was shifted for the game tonight-which means
that there'll be a rough time on the right side of that defen
sive line-natcherly !
The cinder boys meet the Davidson Wildcats from just
"north of the border" tomorrow afternoon-and this time
we're counting on those speed demons of Coach Dupree's to
come thru for an impressive Southern Conference victory.
We wandered up for the )uke Ldebacle last Saturday - and
strange as it may seem, our boys weren't so bad-the Blue
Devils (devils, that is) were just better! Jim O'Rourke beat
his best mile by 13 seconds to come in at 4:41-and still
there were three of those Devils leading him! The shining
light of the whole meet-as far as we're concerned, at any
rate--vas hurdle man Jim Ratlif'f. who really did a swell
job of th\owintr thoe eind"rs right back into the opposition'sl
face. Jimmy won both the high and the low hurdle events
with apparent ease to become high point man for the whole
meet. And then, there was our bo'y Warren "I just love Jack
son" Foote. who brought out the .Palmetto spirit and showed
the Tar HTel people a little fancy high J.umping to take first
place in that event. Not too incidentally, we (of "On The
Ball") are counting on Buddy Riggs and Bird-dog Thornton,
as well as the rest of the boys, to be plenty hot tomorrow
afternoon when things begin to pop on Davis Field.
Of course, Catfish and his bovs will have several reasons
for knocking the old pill around this afternoon-and not the
least of these will he sweet retribution-the Diamondeers
are up against the~ Blue D)evils. The boys from the north have
made the fatal mistake-they're step)pedl across the state
line ! Cleanf-uip man 1Harry Pa rone-accor'ding to all oppon
ents, the meaniest-looking hatter since the old1 "Bale''-is on
the ball with his hitting lately. Andl then, Tommy ('ox is still
hitting 3 for 4 andl so forth: so the Gamecocks have a swel!1
chance of tur'ning btack all op)position from here on-and you
can quote us on that ( pr'ovide'd, ot' course, that we're right !)
In Calse you've been missing Tracey Baxter's smiling pan
aroundl the canteen this morni ng--don't worry-he and the
rest of the racket-teers (and you can take that just one way,
Kilroy !) are traveling this week-end, Optimistic char'acter'
that we are, w re exp)ecting v'ictories over Geor'gia and Geor'
gia Te~ch by t -time the lads at"e '.ck in the chicken- roost.
