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.
