AleAlertBirdsI Chick'en In The Rough The sun was HOT, believe me! At times we knew for a fact that the Sahara desert could never come near the tempera ture at Carolina Stadium on Saturday last. But with all of our little moanings, it was fine to see the Garnet and Black march to a win, even though Rex didn't show much of his hand to the visiting scouts and arm-chair prophets. The local newspapers (Y'know that we don't get paid for this effort) made mention several times that the Gamecock win was unimpressive. Maybe these coaches know more than they tell. Your humble servant could see some of the strategy used in Saturday's tussle. It would have been rather silly to use all of the tricks in the hat for the spies from the other schools to note well in said little black books. So with a com fortable margin like 21 points and the view of almost all of his charges in action, the coach decided to save the trump cards until a later date. The public did get a snap shot of what the 1946 style of Gamecock trouble will look like in their win. That was the prime purpose in the constant sub stituting that carried all through the P.M. It was HOT, too! This business of school spirit has just about come to a head here on the campus. So much has been said and argued about that some of the factions are even beginning to doubt their policies. When boiled right down, School Spirit is not to die on the spot for the ole Alma Mammie; it's not that business of, "say anything about my school and I'll make ya sorry," it's just the simple procedure of doing things on the campus and concerning the campus, in unison. Speaking pri marily for myself, as a member of the proletariat, it was a pretty fair showing that the student body made at the game on Saturday. The stands were well filled but the only draw back came in the form of no response to the gyrations ex hibited on the green. , The argument about "organized" cheering has been aired before and we are not the ones to start that bout again. It would help a lot if the 4,115 students would familiarize them selves with the cheers and the manner in which they are presented. Today at high-noon, you and you and you will have that chance, in the Field house, when the convocation (Student Assembly) will be given over to the Football team, coaches, and the cheerleaders. At this gathering the cheers will be put forth on a little smaller scale, but with better results, than on Saturday. Uaiderstand, we are not raising cain with the Garnet and Black boosters. Without these four thousand it would be a lost cause, but with them all it would be a pleasure to give and give all, to see that the eleven on the playing field had the courage to stand up and take it when the going gets rough. They tell me that it's mighty gratifying to hear "your" stands blast out with a roar. You can do it! A little organization and the foregoing of all the minor differences that arise will prove the point. Your team counts on YOU. On top of the Chick'en House: Joe Patrone, a former Caro lina star in many departments and past president of the Block "C" Club, has for the past few months been the proud proprietor of the COLLEGIATE INN, located oh lower Main Street. Since we all have Carolina and the good of her sons at heart, it would be a fine deal if the tribe would begin making this spot, "ye olde hangout." Joe will give his best for the Carolina students, try his place some time and see if we're not right. If anybody knows where we can get in touch with a good (that is, son) Dry Cleaner to repair some of the damage done by our copious quantities of Na C1 on Saturday, 'twould be muchly appreciated.

"Bo" Hagan's first trip with the pigskin, in collegiate circles, netted him six points . Time for all thinking people to begin doing something constructive so-o-o we shall now head for Jonnies' to see what he has in the line of Lemon Juice (what an under statement!!I!!).

In accomplishing this feat they scored 136 points to the opponents 66. The Crimson Tide from Ala bama, playing before an all time high qouthern grid, attendance of 64,000 at New Orleans, edged Tu lane's Green Wave 7-6. The Tide, led by Harry Gilmer running, was pressed to beat the "Wave' but 'Bama was probably hindered by the rain which fall continu ously through out the game.

Note-This is the first i a series of articles by Ted Metier, Press Box "Spotter" for the Uni versity. From the press box, where the pencil pushing "big wheels" smoke cigars, and the spotters yell them selves hoarse-from that little cage high above the 50-yard line -we watched the Gamecocks make monkeys out of the Indians -at least the first two teams gave them a bad time. We liked: the way Mrs. Hagan's little boy, "Bo," toted the pigskin for a touchdown the first time he ever carried it in a collegiate game . . . the way Jim Hunnicut piled up the offensive yardage every time he carried the ball .. . the way the red headed pride of the Harrison family scooped up the ball 53 yards this side of the Newberry goal line and laid it down a few seconds later on "that" side . . . the way Jack "Hard Luck Boy" Couch lugged the leather for large gains in spite of their nulli fication by penalties . . . the way Pete "Shoot Where you'se Look in'" Lane marked up those extra points . .. the way Messrs.

At Boston, before a crowd of 38,000, the Wake Forest Deacons whipped Boston College 12-6. "Rock" Brinkley, Red Cochran and Nick Sacrinty looked mighty good for the Deacons. Maryland sent its grid machine into operation with a lop-sided 54-0 victory over Bambridge Navy Saturday night. North Carolina State surprised Duke, 13-6, before 12,000 fans at Raleigh. The game, tabbed by ex perts as a warm up for Duke, pro duced one of the stunning upsets, which will probably be plentiful on the gridiron this season.

LNTEEN 'qo*bw 16 JLNW, UntToTri-be Hagan Grabs Ball In ist Play &. Chalks A Quick Six For Enright By DON BARTON South Carolina pulled a "Glen Davis" on Newberry Satur day, as they overcame the Indians 21-0, before some '11,000 onlookers. On the first play from scrimmage Harold "Bo" Hagan broke through the center of the line, cut to his left, and was off on a 58-yard touchdown jaunt. The Carolina cheering section was jubilant, as there was considerable "raising of eyebrows" among neutrals and observers from other teams. The crowd settled down with the expectancy of witnessing a rout but saw nothing of the .sort. After that initial' marker, a determined Newberry defense, costly fumbles, and referee trouble kept the Gamecocks short of the goal line, although they did threaten several times. It was not until the third quarter that the boys from U. S. C. could make their efforts pay off again. This time, the home team took the kick-off on their 5-yard line, returned it to the 28, and began eating up ground fast. A 72-yard drive, featured. by Jim Hunnicutt's forty-yard run, was climaxed by a 2-yard scoring plunge, with Hagan carrying the ball. The third T. D. came just a few moments later on a 47-yard runback of an intercepted pass by "Red" Harrison. Pete Lane added a perfect conversion after each six-pointer. JOIN THE RUSH!
