Chick'en In The. Rough

The victorious Pi Beta Phi's presented their able coach,
Joe Patrone (of COLLEGIATE INN fame), with a beautiful
gold wrist watch as a slight token of their esteem. The
"Arrowettes," it will be remembered, walked off with all
honors in the third annual Powder Bowl game with a sterling
20-0 defeat of the scrappy Tri Delt's. Needless to say, Jose
was quite pleased with the girls' thought and he'll be glad
to tell the time for all comers now.
December 5th is gradually rolling closer. That night the
offerings of Freddie Slack & Co. will be enjoyed by the Block
"C" Club and friends in the Fieldhouse from the hours of
nine till one. Neil Allen, president of the organization, said
the other day that Ella Mae Morse would be supplanted by an
even smoother chirper in the "Shape" of Dottie Anne Dare.
The Club had a meeting last Wednesday night to settle a
few remaining details on the dance and Pete Lane produced
the pictures of Miss Dare as sent him by a booking agency
in New York. She is most attractive, which just about takes
the cake for "UNDERSTATEMENT of the year." There
need be no worry about the lack of good music or etc. when
the Slack combo takes the stand. (That last "etc." is most
important.)
This afternoon's ball game with Duke will still find a few
of the Gamecocks ailing. That Maryland bout, last week in
College Park, was rather costly to Rex Enright who had a
number of injuries crop up during the course of the 21-17
win. Doyle Norman, stellar guard, suffered a leg injury
which he is still favoring. "Bo" Hagan, picked as "Fresh
man of the Week," has another leg ailment which must be
taken into consideration. Max Walker, who didn't make the
trip to Maryland due to a bad ankle, will more than likely
turn in a full game on the Bird forward wall. It is certain
that Bryant Adams Meeks, Jr., of centering fame, will make
more long strides toward his bid for All-America center.
The Macon Menace still bears a broken nose as a souvenir
of the Old Liners. Jake Land, Ed Dew and Steve Nowak are
also on the sick list.
Regardless of the injuries, the Blue Devils will still have
plenty to contend with. The Gamecocks have not yet deeded
any match without putting up a fierce battle.
Our vote goes to Rex's Reckers who will beat the Dur
ham Devils.
Right OFF The Nest
... the Garnet and Black made a fine show at Maryland
the other day ... had their warm-up jackets tarned and the
white side was out, with some of the hoods up ... reminded
us of a professional crew ... saw a few of the old Carolina
crew in Washington . . . Bud Eades, an ex-footballer from
the 1945 season, Bob Hirsch, last year's "rugged" Cheer
leader, Joe Piedmont of managerial fame and Gerry Dunbar.

roost . . . the Maryland game was Televised through the
courtesy of RCA . . . will be sent all over the world . . . the
Duke Blue Devils will be minus their flashy all-blue uniforms
here today . . . the various shortages caused them to
abandon the classy blue trousers which matched the jerseys
perfectly . . . speaking of uniforms and the like, the Game
cocks have looked terrific on every occasion this year...
all men eager for Basketball fame had better get hot, pronto

Given Urgent Call
Season Not Far Off
With the official season only
a matter of weeks away, Coach
Frank Johnson is putting out
the plea for his prospective
cagers who will vie for a berth
on the 1946-47 Basketball team.
Johnson, who has been tied up
with his football coaching du
ties, stated that practice has
been in full swing for a few
days now and anyone interest
ed in making their bid for Var
sity honors should begin right
away. It was also mentioned
that all prospective Basketball
candidates wilt have to furnish
their own shoes due to the cri
tical shortages along those
lines.
Coach Johnson, busy recently
with line coaching, said that
any man interested in the team
and trying out for sainle should
either see him, or be ready to
work any afternoon at three in
the University Fieldhouse.
This year's edition of Garnet
and Black courtmen will have a
fine array of material on hand
in many returning veterans,
but there are still vacancies to
fill. This gives the newcomer
with experience a good shot at
a regular position.

A Letter From
(Ed. note: the following
by Miss Doris Boris from the
Of course we have no idea
letter!)
Dear Miss Boris:
I appreciate your letter of good
spirit.
I believe in a lot of good fur
and a lot of good clean rivalry ani
always having Clemson and Caro
lina maintain good will and fel
lowship. I believe that wher
Carolina has a good team thai
Clemson students ought to wish
for them success. I personally
would like to see Carolina win the
Southern Championship this year
Then if the Carolina students had
the same attitude towards Clem
son and every so often one or the
other of the teams would have
championship qualities it woulk
satisfy a lot of people in the state
I know that you will agree witi
me that among both studeni
bodies there will always be a fe%
who will carry the fun to such a
pitch that dislikes are cultivated
Matters such as burning the Tigei
or wringing the Chicken's neet
indicate bad behavior.
I really hope that you will have
many other occasions during the
remainder of the Autumn seasor
to celebrate the victories of youi
Gamecocks.
The Carolina-Clemson game is
colorful affair and it is my sincer<
wish that we shall do everythinj
possible to keep it clean and en

A capacity crowd is expected

Eight members of the 1946
Gamecock squad will be playing
their last home game for Caro
lina. They are: Earl Dunham,
the team's brilliant field general,
Bobo Carter, Pat Thrash, and
Steve Nowak, ends; Bruce Tate,
eente-; Neil Allen and Julian
Long, guards; and Jim Hunnicutt,
halfback. All of these men have
figured prominently in U. S. C.
victories this fall.
Last year Carolina and Duke
met in Durham at the first, of the
season, and the Birds received a
humiliating 60-0 setback. That
score has stood out in the minds
of Carolina partisans ever since,
and they are resolved to see it
avenged. On the strength of their
great play against Tennessee,
Army, and Wake Forest, the Blue
Devils have been established as
favorites td dislodge the Birds
from their roosting place atop
the Southern Conference stand
ings. Enright's men find first
place quite comfortable, however,

see action, despite a nose injury
that will force him to wear a
nose guard. Earl Dunham, Red
Wilson, and Dom Fusei are fore
most among the Gamecocks' All
Southern prospects.
Past performances of the two
teams indicate that a battle of
defenses is in the making. Only
the Black Knights of West Point
have been able to score more than
two touchdowns against Wallace
Wade's stubborn aggregation,
while Carolina has limited six op
ponents to a total of 59 points and
is listed high among the nation's
best in total defense. One touch.*
down might easily be sufficient
to bring victory to either eleven.
This game holds the Southern
Conference spotlight this week

from the rest of the country. By
taking this afternoon's contest
U. S. C. could accelerate her climb
toward national prominence and
increase her chances of walking
off with the Conference cham&
