Jim kn"uh 16hu n much improvement in the Gamecocks' latest games, shooting 14 points against North Carolina and nine against Georgia, both un defeated teams. Much of the offensive responsibility will fall on Slaughter's shoulders. Fifth uarter By KEN BALDIWIN WHO PUT THE DOUBLE-WHAMMY ON OUR BASKETBALL TEAM? If we were superstitious, we'd say that someone has , put the Yokum evil eye on our basketeers. It was thought earlier in the week that Al Adams would be ] out for the year, but Coach Frank .Johnson assured us yesterday that he diefinitely was not and he hoped to have him back in action soon. Len Ekimoff remains a casualty for the next three wveeks and is now wearing a cast on his foot. Practi cally none of the players were without minor b)ruises and cuts following a rough and torrid game with Geor gia Monday night. From this corner goes a fervent prayer that the Gamecocks will not suffer any more mishaps this season. BASKETBALL FOR EVERYBODY Of interest to you basketball enthusiasts should be the intramural basketball league for studlents who are not mem bers of a social fraternity. This group p)rob)ably accounts for two-thirds of the male section of the student body and it is this group that the intramural dlepartment is trying to reach now. The fraternities have already organized1 their league and it will, no dloubt, be a goodl one as they have the organiza tion to put such things over. The two leagues will be run simultaneously and the winner in each will pirobably p)lay for the campus championship. Thirteen fraternities hav'e enteredl teams in their 1001) and Joe Grugan would like to see a like number of entries from the non-affiliated group. To (late, no teams have entered and the dleadlline for turning in rosters is ten days away. All that is necessary to enter is get 15 players and1 turn in the roster to Joe Gruigain in the gym. If you like to play b)asketball, here is a good chance. WHY NOT HAVE A GIRLS' LEAGUE? Not meaning to slight anyone, we wondler why the girls dlon't start a league, too. Perhaps they have andl we dlon't know it, but we are certain a lot of our athletic mindled coedls would like to phray.. (limmmn! What have we saidl ? !) Rut we answer our initial question with another: where would they p)lay ? This could very easily leadl up to a (dis cussion on the lack of gym facilities, b)ut for various reasons we'll (decline until a later date. Getting back to the latter question, we would like fto point out that the fraternity and independent leagues w.. have their games sandwiched in between, varsity basketball games andl boxing matches, plus various other events. Joe Grugan has a terrific job ahead of him when it conies to scheduling these games and whether there is room remain ing for a girls' league, rei-nains to be seen. nes Fig Avant Scores IKOInSecond The Carolina boxing team ought to a 4-4 draw with the fa ,ored Hurricanes of Miami Uni rersity before 4,000 fans in the -arolina field house Wednesday light.
