This was partly due to the lack of an outlet in the recreational field for the men. But gradually, it was discovered that to defeat an enemy on the field in a good game of football or the like, rather than to defeat him in other types of physical combat, was much better. As various sports were intro duced, the men took a greater in terest in them. At first, baseball was the sport, then football, but after the turn of the century the program became more varied. In the '20's, intramural wrestling was popular and in 1930 soccer was in troduced into intramurals. The program continued to become en larged and participation en couraged with the results that Carolina now has one of the best intramural programs in the state, if not the best.

The freshmen from Furman have already beaten the Wofford frosh this year. The Little Hurricane is con sidered by some to be the top frosh squad in the state, with the Biddies running a close second. Tonight's game will probably decide this issue. The Biddies supposedly have a good backfield that should be able to rack-up some yardage, accord ing to those who have seen them in pre-game action. The linemen are good enough to hold their own both offensively and defensively and reports have it that some of these boys may be helping the var sity in a big way come next Sep tember. From the office of Don Barton, Carolina athletic publicity director, comes an informal and unofficial report that the following eight boys have been showing up well in prac tice and may be among those who will take to the field against Fur man tomorrow night: Clyde Ben nett, St. Matthews, end; Bob Doan, Decatur, Ga., tackle; Harry Per kenson, Atlanta, Ga., guard; Rob ert Brunson, Sumter, center; and backs Joe Tanski of Michigan City, Ind., J.

Kick-off I. at 2:80. Still smarting from last week's 14-0 loss to Duke, the Gamecocks underwent a week of trying to sharpen their aerial attack and shoring up their defense for the Tech ground game. Performances last week gave proof that the Gamecocks' running game is a potent thing indeed, de spite the fact they were unable to score. Bishop Strickland's 67 yards gained for 6.7 yards per try, and Steve Wadiak's 79 yards gained were bright spots in an otherwise dreary afternoon. Add to this the running of the "Greenwood Ghost," "Hootie" Johnson, and you..see some reasons why Gamecock fans had a right to crow. Defensive laurels went to Gene Herterick, Don Early, Hugh Merck and "Spec" Granger. Heterick, in on most of the tackles that were made up the middle, drew praises from Coach Enright, and appears certain of a starting berth from here on out. Two giant soph tackles came into their own and showed Gamecock fans a preview of what to expect for the next three years.

Another sophomore slated for lots of action from his defensive end spot is Greenville's "Spec" Granger. Defensive halfback Lockhart McLendon will be lost to the squad for the Tech game. He suffered a broken blood vessel in his leg in last week's game. Offensive ends Fred Duckett and W. A. Skelton, who were not in top condition for the opening game, will be ready for tomorrow's action. The Gamecocks will be out to avenge last year's 18-8 fourth quarter defeat at the hands of the Engineers. Bill Killoy's first period field goal put Carolina out in front where they stayed until the final quarter when the Yellow Jackets caught fire and pushed across two quick touchdowns.
