CHICKEN IN THE ROUGH
By Chick Shiels
By CHICK SHIEL$
Great Lakes, Ill., 20 May, 1946-(Special)-Felt the urge
to sit down to Mr. 14nderwood's best and pass on the local
gossip about naught in particular, s-o-o-o if all of youse kind
people will bear with us we shall proceed, thusly
'hings are rather smooth with Uncle Samuel's young
nephew in the smart, chic, Blue suit. We arrived back at
the grind after a fine 12-day spree which was highlighted
by the short viz down Carolina way and found that things
were still as confused as ever with most departments. At
the moment we are in what is commonly termed as Out
Going Unit (0. G. U. to the select inner-circle which num
bers close to 5,000,000) where the time left before the hal
lowed date of DIlSCHARGI,' will be done away with. And
that reminds us, we wait right up until the last day before
leaving the present duty and departing for Separation ben
ter, so 15 June will be the day of days for the bald-headed
swabbie. Approximately 18 June will see us back in Mufti
for good if all goes well, that is!!
But enough of this here wool gathering, leave us look at
what's come about. Many of the ole Carolina Clan run into
each other around these Ivy covered walls. Ran into Jim
White about the first day back and holds down a job which
classes him as a "Big Wheel." (As of "I'm a Big Girl Now;
but supplant 'Wheel' instead of 'Girl' and you've got it right.)
"Frenchie" informed us that he was planning to return Car
olina way in the fall. Bob "Kappa Sig" Shook keeps the
chow flowing for the "hounds" in a local galley, along with
Marty Pearson's ole BUDDY, Ed Passel, who is also in a
galley handling things in fine style. Del Lindbloom, an
ex-Carolina lad, just pulled out of the Hospital after under
going a rather serious operation but is back on his size
101.,'s and champing at the bit for FREEDOM. We don't
blame him at all:
Brother Mac Hammond bunks right beside the old
Chick'en and that produces many a conversation about a
certain 0800 French class which intrigued many an early
riser. Mac is plying his talents working as a switchboard
operator plis- general handy-man at the Officers Club. At
least he's in the right surroundings for an ex-Officer Candi
(late. We, of the more infortu,nnis, deal with the storage
and return of Sca Bags in the local Bag Room.
By way of filling up space leave us relate to the unsus
pecting that we witnessed the ole Woodchopper, WOODY
UERMAN, in the flesh the other night at the College Inn of
the Hotel Sherman, one of Chicago land's better hostelry's.
Woodrow Herman, aided and abetted by such !umiiaries as
"Chubby" Jackson (a terrific Bass), "Red" Norve (you all
will remember him with Benny Goodman ; nothing better in
Vibraphones), and "The Blue Flames," was quite an ear-full
for an up-and-comning Seaman Second ('lass. Les Brown
will follow the Herman Ilerd on the 23rd of this month and
you may bet your last semolion that The Chicken will 'be
there for that affair. "Les Brown and His Bandl of Re
known" . . . ugh! (That is Son, that is).
'There isn't too much more of note at this poi.nt in the game
so we'll forced to dig. We hope that the various clubs, Base
ball, Gold, Tennis and Track will b)e able to keep up the good
work with Lady Luck's smiles.
And so the time comes. We look to the Fall andl USC with
an eager eye and so-o-o on this Happy note we remain yours
truly . . . unquote . . . Adieu...

the last match. The men making
the trip are: Captain Bob Wickham.

net men should have no trouble in
winning the state championship
again and also prove to be a real
threat in the South. The Game
cocks won their state championship
without the aid of a coach or any
tennis courts upon which to prac
tice or play their matcnes, so with
the aid of a coach and tennis courts
these hoys should go far next year.
The Gamecocks have tentative
matches next year with all state
teams and also Duke. N. C.. N. C.

a Northern trip provided spring
holidays are granted an a coach is
secured.

To Tigers
The Gamecocks took on the task
of playing four baseball games in
two days last weekend. Last Friday
afternoon the Birds took on the
Erskine Seceeders up at Due West.
in the first game of a running bar
gain bill. The Gamecocks were not
to he denied and they pounded out
a decisive win over the Seceeders
by a score of 10 to 1. Chuck Ru
dolph, titilating right hander, went
all the way for the winners and al
lowed only four knocks in doing so.
After winning from Erskine the
Gamecocks hopped on their bus
and hurried over to Greenville to
take on the Furman team under the
lights Friday night. The Gamecocks
were not able to keep the winning
spirit up and were downed by Fur
man by a score of 9 to 0.
After a night's sleep the Game
cocks were on the road again Sat
urday this time journeying over to
Clemson to play the Tigers before a
home coming day crowd of four
thousand. The Tigers were unbeat
able that day and the Gamecocks
went down to defeat by a score of
12 to 2.. .
After this heartbreaker the Birds
picked up their carpet bags and
dragged back over to Furman to
play their fourth game in two days
and the second one of the day Sat
urday night. The Gamecock's losing
streak continued when the Birds
lost this fracas by a score of 9 to 6.

Play Begins On
Davis Field At 3
The Baseballers wind up their
season today and tomorrow when
they take on the powerful Quantico
Marine team on Davis Field in a
twc- game series.
The first game will be played this
afternoon at three and the second
at the same time tomorrow after.
noon.
The Birds are expected to be near
full strength fielding the usual
lineup except at first base. Torn
Newman will be out of the line up
with an infected hand which was
agitated last weekend when the
Birds played four games in two
dnys. Lefty Giles Clark will take
over at first base. Slugger Runt Wil
lis will he down at second. Willie
has heen pounding the apple as of
late and will be expected to do
much for the cause this afternoon.
Pepper Howell or Rip Ripley will
be at short. Ripley who suffered a
sore arm last week might be able to
play in time; if so Howell will hold
down center field. Little Andy An
drews will do his usual stint down
at third base and is also expected to
add some potency to the Gamecock
attack at the plate. Jesse Cox will
do his chores in left field and will
lead off at hat. Harry Parone. the
Conneticutt Yankee turned rebel,
will bask out in the spaces of right
field. Old Bruce "Skipper" Tate will
unlimber his tired muscles back of
the plate and will be a steadying
hand on the pitchers.
