Fowl Or Fair
by .loyd Huntington
TO SANTA AND THE NCAA
Still sits the school house by the road
A silent creature sleeping,
And inside its iron gates,
Ignonimy was creeping.
But that was long before this year,
And now we are better men,
With more athletes and a "sanity code",
To keep our faces clean.
The National Collegiate. Athletic group,
Washed our linen for us.
And we cut out our scholarships
With no quarrel or fuss.
But comes again this mighty group,
Stern-faced and dominating
And tells our Conference they don't like
The kind of game we're playing.
Now we ask you, Santa, is it fair,
To play favorites, pick and choose,
To point the finger of accusation
At us, and say we'll lose.
Lose what? They didn't say,
Just said that we would never gain,
The favored spot In their eyes,
Unless we played their kind of game.
They even picked the tiny Citadel,
And VPI and Virginia U.
Said to them you're doing wrong,
And we're ousting you.
Why man, Virginia began athletics
With John Smith tackling Pocahontas,
And what's good enough for them,
Certainly ought to be good for us.
And The Citadel? Why man, even Cadets,
Must know a thing or two.
And you know all of Charleston,
Never would take to anything new.
But Santa is it such a crime
To feed hungry men twice a day,
When otherwise they might starve,
Or collapse from inevitable decay?
That's our case, Santa, and we
Will leave it up to you.
If you will talk to the NCAA
And tell them what to do.
Bring them lots of Christmas toys,
Little toy soldiers and a checkerboard,
That they may play to their heart's content,
Move the groups til they get bored.
And Santa give them a whip to crack,.
Over a toy herd of cattle,
But tell them Santa that we're men,
Hardened to every kind of battle.
Tell them that we will never stoop,
To curry favor in their eyes,
To hiding our eating habits here
Beneath a pack of lies.

Lack Of Spa
Pin Ballers .
By JIMMY HOWLE
It is becoming more and more
obvious that the pin ball machine
class in the Department of Can
teenology is in need of more equip
Ment t% 01%mmodate the large
number of students enrolled in the
course.
There is no end of difficulty in
keeping the aisles clear of eager
students who spend many laborious
hours daily at the machines trying
to attain high averages. Even
those who do not have, sufficient
time to enroll In the course rush to
the machines while on their way to
and from classes to get in what
practice they can. In addition to
the large number of enrollees there
are many auditors to the course.
The Department of Canteenology
is cramped for space and at present
has only two machines in action.
At least eight machines are needed
to avoid the many collisions be
tween active members of the class
and half-awakened coffee drinkers.
The pin ball art is probably more
expensive than any other course at
the university, many students
spending as much as two dollars
per day for practice. But as in
many other phases of life, the more
accurate the aim, the less costly
the ammunition.
No Honor System
This course is the only one at
the university which is not entirely
covered by the honor system. It is
permissible to use books at any
time. By placing a couple of books
under the rear legs of the machine
and thereby slowing the pace of the
ball, the students can make better
scores. The student runs a risk
even at this. Sometimes he is
penalised for becoming to enthusi
astic over the prospects of a good
- score and upon using too much
violence fails the exercise. "Tilt"

Activity
is the term used for failure in all
pin ball courses.
Few Women
The small number of women en
rolled in the course is a surprising
factor. Many are known tbe
eager to study this art and yet,
decline to pursue it for social
reasons. One.or two, however, have
hurdled the rules of conventionality
and made noble attempts to achieve
success in this important field.
The men who are enrolled in the
pin ball class are showing a steady
growth . of knowledge and seem
very likely to succeed. If their
strenuous efforts are continued it
is very likely that the university
can some day boast of a pin ball
champion.
Already some of the Canteen
ologists have shown their progress
in Columbia and other parts of the
state. Lately it has been rumored
that one of them plans to write a
text-book on the subject.

The Gamecocks' battle-experi

against the Eastern North Caro- h
1na Teachers. h
The Birds are expected to start d
a team that has countless rounds n
against. the best collegiate boxers t
in the country against the Teach- si
ra tonight.
Starting with Pistol Pete Cam- f,
passi, the Birds' 125-pound entry, 1
the Gamecock mittmen should be V
fairly well loaded all down the V
line. Campassi, last year's South- b
ern Conference champion, is ready 1
for his last year of competition and 0
Coach Jess Alderman is expecting t
the little fellow to come through a
with his best year yet. h
Moving up the line, the Birds
will have almost as much experi- ti
ence in every weight as Campassi B
affords in the 125 division. Eler- t<
son Fowler, returning to school y
after a year's layoff, is the most a
polished boxer on the team. y
