Opener By RUDY THIGPEN Carolina's swimming team con tinued workouts this week in prep aration for the opening meet at Davidson college January 9. The Citadel has been scheduled for the Gamecocks' first home meet on January 20. Coach Jimmy Ratliff was pleased with the performance of some of his prospects, but is still lamenting the lack of enough men for the squad. He referred to the Citadel, which had 53 men out for the team and was forced to cut the squad to 28. The Gamecocks are still without the services of a diver and anyone interested in that position is asked to contact coach Ratliff any afternoon after three at the pool. Anyone else interested in trying out for the swimming team should see coach Ratliff since there is still time to get on the squad. Davidson was defeated by the Citadel last week 35 to 40. David son entered the final relays with a two-point lead, but lost out to the speedy Bulldog relayers. Twvo meets have already been scheduled for the freshman team and a third is being scheduled with Clemson. The varsity will meet such teams as Furman, the Cita del, Emory, the University of Miami and Davidson. Varsity men that have been looking good in workouts and are expected to be starters include Jimmy Smith, Doc Lamb, and Nick Koluch, returning lettermen, and Chuck Winder, Ed Jervis, and George Crepeau. The state meet this year will be held here at the university with all the state teams participating. rhe Southern Conference meet will se held at Chapel Hill, N. C.

Long Island, whose back-break. ing, front-bending schedule sug. gests the deliberate insertion of the Birds as a side-splitter, should be in for at least a mild shock from the Slaughter-letd crew. But their skill at and knowledge of the game of basketball is not to be doubted by those who consider the record of resourceful Coach Clair F.

In short, the period which will terminate along * with Christmas holidays is not expected to give the Birds much chance of having a holiday of their own. The three outfits against which they will be sent are rated highest of all Bird opponents, and Long Island Uni versity, whom they play in Madi son Square Garden on New Year's Day, is sized as seventh in the land. The entire starting five has shown flashes of brilliance in the first three games, and two reserves have been used with a confident, careless abandon unfamiliar to ob servers of Johnson's bench for the past few seasons. Since there will be none of the particularly heavy pressure which accompanies the role of favorite, the Gamecocks are granted a chance of giving a good account of themselves in Morgan town, as well as in the smoke and asphalt jungles of Pittsburgh and New York, respectively.
