Chick'en In The Rough
By CHICK SHIELS
Well, as we said to Jimmy at the State Fair classic the
other day, "On hand Jimbo, on hand." With a full load of
'Tiger meat on board and the valiant Birds ready for greater
conquest we, of the Bottom Men on the Totem Pole Union,
Local 351, begin another trip around the old Chicken House.
Thirty thousand people sat, screamed, drank, and fought
last Thursday at the Carolina Stadium whilst Rex Enright,
Allah's chosen Prophet, led the Garnet and Black across the
River Nile into the promised Victory land to the tune of -26
to 14. The Clemson Tiger, minus teeth, saw a spirited Caro
lina eleven come from behind in the late stages of the game
to give the City of Columbia a chance to sit back and say,
"Nice going, Rex." Incidentally, Enright almost missed the
late train to New York Thursday evening which was to take
him to the Polo Grounds to witness Saturday's Army-Duke
fracas . . . So fatigued was he from the Gamecock-Tiger
tussle, he fell asleep upon reaching his home, and was
awakened by his wife just a few minutes before train time
. . . Thanks to the city police force which came to his rescue
by sending him a motorcycle escort, Rex caught the Stream
liner in Bumstead fashion.
Right OFF The Nest
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Fusci, Dom's mom and dad,
came all the way from New York City to see "Their little
boy" play. It was the first time they've seen him on the
gridiron . . . the Carolina-Clemson game was aired, play by
play, over six radio hook-ups . . . the day was one of the
most beautiful seen in a long time . . . they tell us that it
usually rains for the Bird-Tiger tussle . . . don't think we
have ever seen so many humans crammed into one small
space as at the stadium Thursday ... I never knew so many
people had such big shoulders . . . a sardine canner could
have had a field day . . . everybody certainly had on their
Christmas finery at the game . . . it looked like ESQUIRE
and MADAMIOSELLE personified in most cases . . . "The
Old Sheriff," Earl Dunham, was captain for the Carolina
eleven.
"Red" Harrison was the leading ground gainer all after
noon for both clubs . . . congrats to tlW Booster's Club for
the smooth show with the Card Flashing Tricks . . . they
made a big hit ... ah-h-h-h-h That Florence Flash . . . saw
"Joltin' Joe" Patrone and Co. on the side lines at the bout
. . . there's just something about Carolina spirit that can
not be forgotten upon possession of the sheepskin . . . it
would have been nice to have seen the second half of the
game . . . but when there are so many six footers in front
of a midget ya' haven't got a prayer . . . some recompence
was noting the expressions on the paid admissions' faces ...
that was choice . . . another hearty set of congrats to the
student body for their staunch support of the team . . . if
they keep this up, New Year's Day should find the entire
roost witnessing a Bowl Game . .. did you know that one
of the fans came in the gate on a 1945 ticket??? . . . that's
using the old noggin,' eh what? . . . the crack Tiger Platoon
from Clemson put on a fine show at the "half" despite the
roar that filled the South Carolina air . . . to be sharp in
an outfit like that you've got to hear the commands...
the Commandant of the Sixth Naval District along with
lots of other "Big'Brass" saw the Gamecocks bring home
the bacon . . . the week is over, thank the Lord . . . and the
entire clan did the job up right ..,. and so, on this happy note
we remain, yours truly ..,. unquote . . . adieu...

cocks take a short hop to Orange
burg Friday, where they will seek
their third Southern Conference
victory, this time at the expense
of The Citadel. This will mark the
first meeting between the two
schools since 1942, when Carolina
won 14-0. The contest is a feature
of the Orangeburg Fair.
The Bulldogs enjoyed a rest last
weekend and have had two weeks
of practice in preparation for the
Gamecocks, so they should be at
their season's top form for the
fray.

Delts, 2
By DON BARTON
There was 'a bit of emphasis
added Wednesday night to the
theorem, "It's a woman's world.'
The Pi Beta Phi and Delta Delta
Delta clans ventured the task ol
demonstrating tnat the weakei
sex could 'even manipulate a pig
skin quite capably, and they did
without even using the versatile
hairpin. These gals revealed a
trace of T.N.T. mixed in with
their "sugar 'n spice, and every.
thing nice," but the Pi Phi's pos.
sessed the more potent solutior
and racked up a 20 to 0 win over
the Tri-Delta in the annual Pow
der Bowl get-together. About 4,
000 observers were at Melton
Field to see a perfect example of
"letting one's hair down."
The "Powerhouses" hinted that
they meant business in the first
quarter, when Sue Rives blocked
a Tri-Delt punt on the 20-yard
line, and verified their intentions
by sending Frances Smith around
end for a touchdown from the nine
yard mark, three plays later. The
try for the extra point failed, and
the Pi Phi's led 6-0.
The second quarter presented
the most spectacular play of the
game. With the ball on the Tri.
- Delt 48 yard line, Frances Smith
took off around right end like she
was going to a nylon sale and,
behind Jo Siedman's convincing
interference, toe-danced her way
to the promised land. Siedman bi

sected the goal posts with her
placement, and the Powerhouses
were 13 point leaders.
"Tiny" Howell contributed the
final tally for the Pi Phi's in the
last quarter on a 17 yard run that
saw her feet twinkling, as well as
her big blue eyes. Siedman again
made life miserable for would-be
taggers and also kicked the extra
point to bring the grand total to
20 points.
The game was not without its
rough moments and all partici
pants collected their due share of
Mother Earth. Byrd Murray was
kayoed temporarily in the fourth
round but came hounding back
after receiving a quick dose of
"Evening In Paris."
June Henry and Mary King
handled the ball most glamour
ously for the Notre Delta Dames
but couldn't gain consistently
through, over, around, or under
the defense of- Coach Patrone's
cuties. Fumbles haulted several
Tri-Delt offensive efforts.
Siedman and Smith were the two
standouts for the Powerhouses
and were backed up by all-around
good play on the part of their
teammates.
All-in-all it was a fine exhibi
tiot of football, plus the several
intentional and impromptu added
attractions. Shakespeare once said,
"Women are soft, mild, pitiful,
and flexible." Shakespeare never
did see a Powder Bowl Game.
