Bill Davis Keeps WI
For Intramural Spol
By LLOYD HUN
In recent years the intramurs
have grown until now the demani
mural department is having its hi
quate programs which will satis
same time fit into the undersized
-month or so each year are taken _
away from the varsity and given cia
over to intramural athletics* do]
This year especially the lack of thi
playing space has caused-the intra- th(
mural staff no end of worries and
the problem is by no means settled
yt.pobe thi
But this is only one of the prob- i
lems which confront the intra- be
mural department every day of
the week. Joe Grugan, director of dri
intramurals, has his hands full and pu
may yet end up tearing out his
hair.
sed
One thing, however, which keeps pa
Grugan going Is his chief assist- mi
ant, Bill Davis, who handles many
of the problems which arise in the m
office. pr
Davis, a slender blond-haired mi
boy with loads of enrgy, takes fr4
a great deal of the burdens upon
himself and goes about solving
the intramural problems with a
lot more confidence in their even
tual favorable solution than many
of those who depend upon him to Dv
provide athletic programs. N.

Bill started in the Intramural Mi
department last year when he was Cl
a sophomore in the School of W
Business Administration. The con- W
stant neatness to athletics and
athletes, however, caused him to vi
change his major to Physical Edu- Des
cation. TI
When he first started workingG
U'
in the intramural office Davis' N.
chief duties were in handling and Fi
checking equipment, acting as offi- Vi

p but in the second an final gam
of the year they showed impr'ove

'95 was a better year with tho
e Birds getting a split. They woz
their first game against Furmal
by a 14-10 score. The spirit of th4
game was growing and the stu
a dents o:' South Carolina Colleg
- developed a great liking for "thim
a rough game." The Gamecocks mel
the Wofford Terriers for the firsi
timel this year and were defeated
5 in a close 6-4 decision.
1 The fact that we won only one
, game against two defeats in the
third year of football at Carolins
-is Justified today when we. note
that that win was against the
3 Tigers from Clemson. The Birds
were victorious in that first meet
ing by a 12-6 tally but bowed to
their other two opponents by close
scores.
'97 was a bad year Again. The
season started with an 18-6 loss
to Clemson and two other losses
followed to complete the second
and last unvictorious year. The
a following year the Birds beat
Bingham and then lost to Clemson
and Davidson.
Up until this time the Game
cocks had played without a pilot
but in '99 Irving 0. Hunt became
the first Carolina coach. The Birds
made a 2-3 record that year, Clem
son being one of the victors. In
the century year things weren't
too bad except for a 51-0 shellack

tourment, slated to start on,
Monday, Oct. 10, Is -still open to
anyone desiring to enter. A full
scale tournament is planned and
will be played at the Glen*ood
course located on Gervais street
near the edge of the city limits.
It will be an individual tourney
until 1909.
A 8-3-1 won-lost-tied record was
the result of the 1904 season and
4-2-1 in *05. In 1906 the Board of
Trustees became tired of this
"sanguinary orgy which is making
senseless brutes out of our youths."
As a . result of this conclusion,
football wa16 eliminated from the
athletic schedule.
