Baskei Swimmers Lose Becai Sportsquiz Howard Casada finally got out of the hat and into the Carolina Theater, being winner of the lat est Gamecock sportequia after weeks of being right but unlucky. In coming out of the hat, Howard left behind Werner Strauss of Tenement 28, Phi Epsilon Pi Bill Novit, Carl Langley of Maxey third, Dan Munn of Columbia, Chip Bisson of Preston second, Jack Koenigsberg of Tenement 5, Ber num Ashley of Maxcy third, and Frank Rienzo. The man who was so well known to Sportsquiz readers is Joe Fulks of the Philadelphia War riors, whos comeback Sportsquiz dramatically precipitated. Gene Parrish's house of hits, the Caro lina-on Main between Gervais and Lady-is still putting on two free performances for the winners of the following quiz: This week we not only want the team and the man, but his coach, too. This guy is co-captain of his club and, like the university's Slaughter, he is deadliest as a scorer from the pivot. His timing and deceptive body motion have impressed a number of pre-season All-America pickers sufficiently to cause them to place the six-foot three ace on their pre-season se lections. His coach says he is the toughest bucket man in college basketball. Hitting for 26 points in three c consecutive games against top Eastern competition, the ball hawking Negro helped his team to < the National Invitation Tourna-< ment, where he scored 87 points in four contests.

VEST ?60 IOUTH enter Restaurant Play - Events; rt Squad By RUDY THIOPEN The Davidson College swimming team defeated the Gamecocks 47 to 27 Monday afternoon at Charlotte. This was the first meet of the season for the Gamecocks. Coach Jimmy Ratliff was pleased with his men who took four out of five first places but were forced to forfeit several events because of a short squad. Jimmy Smith and Doe Lamb were stars for the Gamecocks by taking two each of these first places. Smith took the 220- and 440-yard free style. Lamb came out first in the diving and 200 yard back stroke. Ray was top speed man for the Wildcats by churning the 50-yard free style in 24.7 sees. In the Freshman meet both teams went into the final relay tied at 23 all. Davidson took the relay and won the meet 30 to 23. The Gamecocks opened the Fresh man meet by winning the Medley relay in 1 min. 44.5 sees. This relay team was composed of Donovan, back stroke; Millard, breast stroke; and Johnson, free style. Coach Ratliff is still seeking more men for the squad and pointed out that the Gamecock var sity now has only six men as compared to 14 used by Davidson. The next meet will be Saturday, Jan. 20, when the Gamecocks meet rhe Citadel Bulldogs in the Uni versity pool. The Citadel has one f the e1st teams in the conference and opened their season by defeat ing Davidson by a seven-point margin. With more pra-Aice and the acquisition of more men the Lrmecoeka are expected to give some good competition. cell in the dessert. I had to use the soup to put it out." -Methodist Advocate.

Tech's most lethal weapon is called Tex Ttillson. He is a six foot, four-inch center who aver aged 15.4 points a game last sea son and he has shown no signs of letting up this season. Tillson. also a Virginia boy, may prove to be a threat playing opposite Slaughter. The Citadel, which opened its season against Davidson this week, gave that club a hard scrap, and should be able to make it a little warm for the Gamecocks. It is to be noted, however, that a certain amount of revenge still lurks in darkest uncharted regions of Caro lina crania. Revenge will be the top factor in Bird incentive against West Vir ginia's Mountaineers. Glaringly partisan officiating was reported when the Johnson-men sustained a loss to the West Virginians at Morgantown, and there was much speculation on the reasons why the Mountaineers suffer so few de feats on their home court. In not suffering oge at the hands of USC, they handed the Birds their only conference loss to date. Junior Mark Workman, six-eight center who tossed through 441 points against George Washington this season to come within an ace of tying the all-time scoring rec ord held by N.
