BATTLE OF THE SEXES
The WSSF benefit basketball game between Harrison's
girls team and male faculty members Thursday night should
be quite the thing. It is for a worthy cause and will no doubt
be very entertaining. Members of the WSSF executive com
mittee deserve no less than a full house for this occasion,
so a cooperative student body should act accordingly. You
might get to see your favorite professor kicked around a bit!
WON'T BE LONG NOW
The Southern Conference basketball tournament will be
getting underway in less than two weeks, so eight coveted
bids will be sent out presently to the most outstanding teams
in the loop.
Although our Gamecocks bowed to a vastly improved
Wake Forest team Saturday night, it doesn't knock them
out of the running. In fact, we'd say that they're still very
much in the running. They are still high up in the conference
standings and have demonstrated their ability to give the
best teams in the race a run for their money.
We're counting on Johnson and Company to be on hand
for the tourney, and, too, we're counting on them to win.
When they're "on", they have what it takes to stick in with
the best of them. Let's just hope that they get hot the three
days of the conference playoff.
TO HARRY LOFTON, INC. F
b
Best wishes to each of Carolina's entries in the Southern r
Conference boxing tournament. All of us will be waiting with
great interest the results of your fights in this important I
event, and we know that, win or lose, you will be giving this -
school the kind of representation that it can well be proud of.
We are grateful to Harry Lofton for enabling the univer
sity to have a boxing team in spite of many obstacles. We
stand in admiration for the ones who gave up so much of
their time and energy in order to represent Carolina in the
ring. C

Rll Finale Set
nmorrow Night
By CHICK SHIELS
Still wondering about the "bid"
o the Southern Conference Tour
ey, the Gamecocks will head for
fewberry tomorrow eve to offici
Ily wind up the 1947 basketball
eason. The "City of Friendly
'olks" will extend the heartiest
Teetings to the Birds who will
e seeking thpir second quiest
ver the Indian Tribe. In the other
vent, Carolina had no trouble
iarching into the winner's circle
vith a score of 83-38.
It has been the contention all
eason long that the G & B were
veak at the free throw line. This
act was proven not to be a fil
acy last Saturday night at Wake
orest, N. C. The margin of error
vas 52 to 47 for the Gamecocks
,s they, time and time again, miss
d gratis points. From the floor,
he hometownera held the advan
age in baskets, but at the "line"
he story was different. All told,
ohnson's crew went bad for a
otal of iine attempts which
ould have easily spelled victory.
Although the season has not
een a spectacular one, the 1946-1
E7 Bird Basketeers dropped only
ight games while ringing up 13
vins. The year's work started with
;hree consecutive road losses to
eorgia Tech, Bradly Tech and
Western Michigan. Then came a
ine win streak, only to be upset
>y North Carolina and Davidson.
Again the team set about their
ask of bringing home the ba
:on, and again the Tar Heel lads
Iropped them. Davidson and
UNC again hung the black crepe
Dn the knights in Garnet and
Black. Saturday night's loss to
Wake Forest totals the list as the
Gamecock went to bed.
Carolina Student Signs Pro
Baseball Contract With Giants
Cy Havird, transfer student
from Newberry, where he starred
in football, baseball, and basket
ball, has announced that he has
signed a contract with the New
York Giant baseball chain.
Cy, current top scorer in the
city basketball league, announced
that he would remain at Carolina,
although he isn't eligible to par
ticipate in sports. From all reports
he is just as adept at football and
basketball as he is at baseball.
He will not be able to play or
ganized ball this year until the
term expires, first part of June
-and stated "I'm not going to let
professional baseball interfere
with my college work."
CAMPUS PRESS
(Continued from Page 1)
on the campus to install such
equipment, even if it were avail
able . . . the upkeep would be too
expensive, for the students would
not possess the technical skill to
operate and take care of such
complicated machinery."
As an alternate to the purchas
ing of a mechanical press, Smith
suggested that he would be will
ing to purchase, if available, a
hand operated press from which
"Journalism students could ac
quire some practical technical ex
perience."
Hand Press Inadequate
After giving this counter-pro
posal "due consideration," the
committee rejected the hand press
as "impractical," stating that "it
would be comparable to teaching
agricultural methods with a hand
plow."
The committee yesterday broke
its non-committal silence by stat
ing that "it still had hopes ?or
Carolina to possess its own press."
When approached by a member of
the group, Dean Chase, Dean ol
Administration, and su'.porter of
the proposed project, said: "We
will do our best t'atil every pos
sible angle has been exploited."
According to the veterans' com.
mittee, "the matter is far fron1
being settled."
