The traditional game with Citadel will be played In Orangeburg on Fair Day, November 1. This game, discontinued as Citadel withdrew from intercollegiate sports, because of wartime scarcety of students. will bring happy memories to the students who used to ride the trains to the big game. Citadel's return to intercollegiate football should prove most interesting. The Gamecocks will meet two of the nations strongest teams in Carolina stadium when the Crim son Tide of Alabama and the Blue Devils of Duke journey to Columbia this fall. The Alabama team, a natural favorite should prove the Gamecocks greatest foe this fall. The eyes of the nation have been on Vaughn Mancha and Harry Gil mer during the past season and there is little doubt about their liv ing up to expectations come this fall. Alabama athletic officials have stated that there will be little change In the Crimson Tide's line up for the coming season. Numer. ous people wonder if the Tide has reached Its point of diminishing productivity. On the contrary Duke may he ex pected to have an excellent team as usual. The Blue Devils have won reknown in their athletics and there is little to believe other than the best for them. Carolina will meet the Old Liners in College Park, Md., seeking a win after the Old Liners victory here last year. Besides Citadel, the Gamecocks will play three in-state games. The opening game of the season will be against the New berry Indians. played in Carolina stadium, September 28. On October 11 the Gamecocks venture to Fur man to play a night game in Green ville. The highlight of the in-state games will be the Gamecock-Clem son tjt. Octoner :eq. The Clemson Tigers, favored over the Gamecocks last season were held to a tic. This game, to be played in Columbia, should be the drawing card of the 1946 schedule. Carolina ends its season against Wake Forest, when the Gamecock . grid stars journey to Charlotte on Thanksgiving Day. The Gamecock spring practiee showed much talent among the team. Coach Enright failed to com ment on the possibilities of his team for this season, but by all prob BURNETTE RADIO & TELs GOs P. A.

L. 1440 MAIN STREE ANY THING NEEDEt ns Silent As es Next Fall Shi Plans For Eight Game Schedule Plans for an eight-match boxing season were revealed today by Al lan Shi. coach of the University's boxing team. This will be the first. full-time boxing season since 1941. "We were late getting started last year." Shi stated, "but this year we will have a full schedule-and an early start." Last year's team had only four matches on its schedule, and didn't get started until Jan uary. Shi disclosed that at present only two matches have been definitely made, although letters have been sent to schools on the Eastern Sea. board. These matches are with the University of Maryland, and the University of North Carolina. Ten tatively. matches are in the making with the Citadel, Clemson, Georgia, Florida, Miami, Penn State, Syra cuse, and P.C. It is hoped that a schedule calling for four home matches away can be arranged. In addition to the schedule, it is hoped that the Southern Conference Box ing Tournament will be revived. If it should be revived, the Tourna ment will be held at Maryland, and a team representing the University will participate. As for prospects for the team for next year, there are two lettermen returning, Ray White, 127-pounder, and Gene Morrison, 165-pounder. i From the Intramurals, Bob Wilson, Elihu Monica, and "Manny" Mer chant have signified their Inten. tions of reporting when practice begins, which, incidentally, begins the last of November. Other than these boys, the prospects are dark. "We'll have a fair team," Shi re marked, "nothing good-nothing bad-just fair." labilities the Gamecocks should be on the road to a successful season.
