Jan. 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.
An ancient legend, based on the
;upposition that St. Nicholas gave
Iowries to three young maidens,
says that any girl praying to the
Saint will be rewarded with a good
rausband in the'near future. Well?

The name of Bernum Ashley, a

derby into which had also been
tossed the names of Carl Langley
and Howard Casada, two more
Maxcy-ites; Phi Sigma Kappa Joe
Husbands; Rex Carter of Tene

Novit. Every one of these six
gentlemen had correct answers to
!ast week's Sportsquiz in Box 79
early Friday morning. There be

Coach Frank Johnson's crew of

opportunity to get their whizzing
under way against big-time com

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.
West Virginia University's pow
erful net game will be largely de
pendent on the showing of two
juniors, forward Harry Moore and
center Mark Workman. And Work
