Last week, we thought we would change things around a bit and offer a slightly different type of quiz. Today, when we received our mail we were greeted with a multi tuide of answers to the new quiz. Fourteen of the answers received were correct in identifying the mystery man as Otto Graham of the Cleveland Broyvns. This left us in the usual predica ment of trying to decide which of the answers should receive the weekly prize of two passes to the Carolina Theater. After resorting to the ballot in a hat technique again, we emerged with the name of Bob Gottdenker of Ten. 18. He is hereby declared this week's offi cial winner.

Men From Texas Tompkins Bi Recognition With the enrollment of four Gamecocks began what was 1 were all from the same home championship team for two ye; school All-Americans for two: The Tompkins brothers were at Carolina for two and a half years and everyone who saw them per form remembers them as a synonym for victory. All through their high school days and their time at Carolina, when the two of them were on the same court, they never lost a game. In the 1931-'32 season when they played freshman ball, the Biddies won 14 games with an average of 52.3 points per game. Dana Hen derson, another of the Texans who played center, scored 194 points in those 14 games. Freddie, the oldest of the two brothers, started late that year but managed to ring 188 points in the nine games that he appeared in. In one game Freddie scored 36 points which was the highest in dividual score of the year, col legiate or otherwvise. Bennie Tomp kins scored 185 p)oints, 35 of which were free shots. Conference Champs The following year the squad -brought to Carolina her first ma jor sports title by winning the Southern Conference title at Raleigh. The team lost two garjies that year at the first of the season when Freddie was out of play. One of the losses was to Kentu.eky, the national champions, 44-36. When the champs came to Carolina they were beaten 44-38. All-American Freddie and Bennie made All Southern and several All-American teams that year. Dana Henderson made second string on the All Southern five. In the tournament Freddie Tompkins set a record which still stands as the highest score in a single conference game. He reached a total of 31t points that night. The Gamecocks went undefeated in 1933-'34 in the regular season. After 36 consecutive wins they suf fered their first loss at the hands of N. C.
