Cu Ban Bring Chick'en In The Rough By CHICK SHIELS This afternoon at 2:340 the mighty 'Bama arrives at the Stadium to do battle with the Garnet and Black. 'Bama, who gave Southern Cal a bad time in the Tournament of Roses last year will face the finest team that the University of South Carolina has had in many a moon. Coach Rex En right isn't saying a lot about the game or its outcome for he, too, knows that The Crimson Tide is a potent aggra gation. Being the bottom man on the totem pole, we wish the Gamecocks the best of luck and give a meaningful pat on the back for a successful afternoon and a Victory. An upset is not entirely out of the picture. It has been evidenced before in these early stages of the 1946 season in such matches as the North Carolina State win over the talent laden Duke eleven,,the University of Cincinnati's 15-6 count on last years' BIG NINE Champions, Indiana and others. Know this-that the Carolina men-of-war will be on the turf ready to give all for a win today. The team is in fine fittle with all of the injured list about cleared up which means a lot to any coach. This afternoon's tussle will be a fine ball game and the burley, 'Bama boys might be sur prised at the outcome!.!. Georgetown University of Washington, has been trying something comparatively new in the annals of football tricks. The Capital Club, recently brought into play an Oxy gen Recessitator which administers a dose of 0-2 to the tired grid warriors after a long run or a gruelling play. It has worked very successfully and the principle is being given a chance down this way. The facts are these: the tired athlete is taken from the game and an Oxygen mask is placed over his face, in thirty seconds the gridster feels "ready"-he is relaxed with all of the pangs of fatigue gone. Sounds good! This newcomer to football will be aired here at Carolina in the very near future, and promises to be almost revolution ary in reviving the footballers. Mr. Dumas Turner (of the DEEP SOOTH Turner's) wishes to announce that the ushers for Saturday's bout with Alabama will report to the gate nearest the scoreboard at 12:30.

Our Guess Is... By GAMECOCK SPORTS STAFF Choices for this weekend in the Southland-we can be wrong, too! South Carolina over Alabama The Crimson Tide is due for a surprise. Georgia Tech over V.M.I.-Tech will score often in this one. North Carolina over Miami This won't be any pushover, but North Carolina will be out for blood after that V. P. I. tie. North Carolina State over Clem son-North Carolina State will prove that the win over Duke wasn't a fluke. Virginia Polytechnic Institute over Virginia-Just a hunch. Wake Forest over Georgetown The Demon Deacons whipped Bos ton College, so we'll take Wake Forest. Kentucky over Xavier-Even if Ermall Allen doesn't play. Tennessee over Duke-These battles are always tough ones, but Bob Neyland's boys ought to come through again. Louisiana State over Mississippi State-Call it an upset if you will, but L.S.U. stopped a great Rice team and will stop Shorty Mc Williams and Co. Tulane over Florida-It's a good thing the Gators play this one away from the home folks. Georgia over Temple--This shouldn't be too tough for the Bulldogs.

Harry Gilmer and Vaughn Mancha, All-Americans last year, will be out trying to further their bids for honors this season. All of this adds up to the fact that 'Bama is highly respected in football cir cles and will be an overwhelming favorite today. On the other hand, Carolina is no novice at playing with the odds against her. Last year Clemson was heavily favored; so was Wake Forest; so was the University of Miami. That trio came out of the games thankful for ties with the Gamecocks. Alabama offers even bigger game, for an upset over her would be the talk of the whole nation, and would go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest victory in South Carolina grid iron history. In sixty minutes of fast, heads-up football the 1946 Gamecocks may well place them selves among the immortals. They UNION (Continued from Page 1) of the Student Council. The presi dent said, "I will not sign any such statement." When asked his reasons he said that he would not deal with any organization that had "no responsi bility." The president told The Game cock, "It is my sincerest wish that we will not have to employ any one but students for our music. I hate to see it, but the University cannot be a party to anything of that kind." He said that the music depart ment was organizing an orchestra to play for student social affairs. According to musicians on the campus, most men capable of play ing instruments are already mem bers of the union. Several Caro lina students are now playing in local union bands.

Last week, while Carolina was not straining herself against New berry, the Crimsons were battling it out in the mud with Tulane, escaping with a one-point advan tage over the Greenies. Previously, Alabama had beaten Furman by three touchdowns, after having to come from behind. Both these games left doubt as to the invinci bility of the Crimson Tide, and the set-up seems perfect for South Carolina to disprove this alto gether. However, the experts say, "Not a chance." Indications are that twenty four thousand people will take time out to see if the Birds can turn the trick, so Carolina Sta dium will be the scene of great activity when game time rolls around. Alabama will be out to defend a great name in football; Carolina, to establish one. TRAIN (Continued from Page 1) for the purpose of demonstrating Carolina's school spirit.

Out of 423 football games played since the sport was inau gurated at Alabama in 1892, the Tide has never lost a game by the margin of an extra point. Alabama's Fred Grant, 180 pound fullback from Christian burg, Va., is probably the only player ever to lead two major col lege conferences in scoring. As a freshman at Wake Forest in 1948, Grant led the Southern conference pointmakers and paced the South eastern conference scores last sea son when he tallied 66 points. while 'Bama has amassed a total of 104 points in the short s6ries. The 1946 contest was played in Montgomery, Alabama. E LUNCHES - SANDWICHES Cream Shop POINTS *13.95 -4 LUMBIA. S. Ca
