Ii the Mail Box Student Oppo SAttenence Ai (Editor's note: The following in- reply to a letter appearing I the last regular issue of the Gami cock expressing a student's opinio that all freshmen at Carolin should be required to attend pe rallies.) Dear -Don, I just read Randy Crawford article in last week's issue of TI Gamecock .and I'm still burninj You'd think Crawford was writin for the benefit of a bunch of kk -not men. In his "Freshman E Required, etc.", article, Crawfor pointed out that all freshman, vel erans Included, should be compel ed to ittend al pep rallies. Thi I heartily disagree on. It is immaterial whether or n< Crawford is a veteran-for I should, by now, know that yo can't tell a man, who just a fe, short years ago was walking ov his dead buddies while dodgin bullets on. some battle front, the he "must" stand up and yell, "ral rah, Carolina." No, the vetera just doesn't go in for it. He' laugh in your face-as if you wer a fool (and if you ever gave i serious thought, he may be right: Sure, he wants a winner, but i his books, if you don't produc you're no good-he had to produc or die. Surely, the veteran enjoys ever home game that his alma-mate plays-ad he's darn proud 'c Carolina, too. But that doesn mean that he MUST stand up am yell "rah, rah, Carolina." Nop it's not his character to play thi unfamiliar role. He may carry a in this manner if he's provide with a little too much firewate but until then, it just isn't for him It's a known fact that schoi spirit is a must, but it won't I realized through these crudel suggested measures. Everyor agrees that school spirit helps th bali players when the going gel tough. But, just ask any of tli ball players what they think < the school's backing-they'll hgre to a man that it leaves little t be desired. Qt _ beer-leaders are~ goo enough to get the most out < our student-body section, so let let them take over. T'here's n need to incessantly harp on th subject of school spirit-it gel stale after a while. Crawford states that the alums etc., should organize in the pr4 motion of our athletic progran and back them up. Just what, ma I ask, is the BAM club doing Jf they aren't pitching in financ ally all of the way, then just as Head Coach Rex Enright--he' tell you. He continues that, since til Mississippi game, HE has hear many remarks that have not bee A SHOR Why do college sewn shorts over all otl Arrow shorts ar the n(tarket-ean't cree due to Arrow's j 1.00 to 1.50 es Compulsory Pep Rallies a very helpful toward promoting our n athletic teams--through the stu - dents and newspaper. My, my, did n the newspapers really rake the a Carolina club over the coals after p the Mississippi game? They should be ashamed. Maybe they should have offered a few alibis for the locals. S Crawford further says that other ie schools are organized to meet de feats as well as victories and sug gests that half the student body greet our football players at the d station. The former statement d seems pretty broad to me. I like facts. Do other schools turn out to greet their team at -the station after suffering humiliating de feats or even after winning? Who t are they ? And does half of the e student body participate in theso u pep rallies? It sure sounds pretty v steep to this writer. r Crawford goes on to ask, "Would g it hurt the students or local alumni t to meet once a week for pep i, rallies?" Well, the question was n brought up on numerous occasions 1l among the local alumni at meet e ings of the BAM club, which I t was fortunate enough to have at tended, and the meeting schedule n, in operation now was unanimously e agreed upon. As for the students, e a few of them are in the habit of studying during. the week, re member? Once a week of yelling about the campus seems rather f annoying to them-they're vtet t erans and interested in getting d down to serious study while in college. The students may be in the n wrong for not going all out for d their school, but when Crawford states that Carolina can have a r greater team if the students and alumni of the school give them >l the backing they deserve, it's a e direct slap in the face to the fine y and wholesome efforts (and ac e complishments, too) of the local e hard-working alumni prevalent in 8 the BAM club. e You're on. the wrong angle, f Crawford, remember "You can e lead a horse to water, but you o can't MAKE him drink."

Rex Enrij UnderR oc Rex Enright was selected for the fullback spot on the all Western team in 1925 besides be ing 'placed on several all-Ameri can elevens. His performance for Notre Dame against Northwestern that year probably had a lot to do with his receiving those honors. When the Fighting Irish took the field that afternoon they had never lost, on their home ground, Cartier Field, but the Wolverines seemed to be breaking the string on this particular - Saturday, as they turned on a first-half offen sive to score ten points to none for Notre Dame. Things looked bad for the Irish as they went to the dressing room to meet Rockne between halves. The second half was a different story, as two driving backs, Christy Flannigan and Rex En right led third period scoring marches to bring Notre Dame from behind and win the game. It .was Enright who went over for the two touchdowns that kept the Irish's home record clean. Enright, in looking back over his football achievements, considers that the outstanding game of his career. Rex, a native of Rockford, Illi nois, went to Notre Dame during the reign of the immortal "Four Horsemen", and became the under study of Elmer Layden. He room ed with another of the "horsemen", Jim Crowley. After a few lessons from Rockne, Enright took over the first string fullback position and held it down in true Layden style. The 1926 season did ,not match that of the previous year, when the Fighting Irish were unbeaten, but Notre Dame lost only to Army and Ne braska, the grid powers of that year, taking all others in stride. After graduating from the No tre Dame law school in 1926 En right went to the University of North Carolina, where he became an assistant coach. He accepted a similar position at the Univer "THE PL4 where congenial congrej .

Carolina hadn't beaten the Tigers in seven years, and the Bengals were heavily favored to continue their streak, as they were victors over P. C., Virginia Military, N. C. State and Boston College, with out having lost a game that year. Enright's Gamecocks forgot about the odds, and Stan Stasica, Al 'Grygo and Ken Roskie put on an attack that the Clemsonites just couldn't slow down, and the Ben gals went back to .Tigertown with their first loss of the year.
