As Yours Truly assumes the duties of sports editor, that
has been so efficiently performed by Mordecai "The Poet"
Peraky, I am extremely fortunate to have a staff of capable
reporters to assist me that will make even Grantland Rice
envious.
These include Fred "Scoop" McAlister, the poor men's
Litkenhous; George LaBruce, Georgetown's gift to the field
of journalism; Ralph Gregory, an old stand-by in the intra
murals department that can be counted on for almost any
assignment. And on the feminine side is Miss Norma Berg
man, who has done an excellent job of covering women's ath
letics in the past. All in all they are a real talented
group and we are extremely fortunate to have their services.
Swimming Team
Tomorrow afternoon Carolina's swimming team makes its
debut before a local audience in what should be one of the
best meets of the season. They will meet The Citadel Tank
men, one of the best teams in the state. Some 450 people
were on hand to see Th eCitadel in their first home meet.
The crowd watched as the Tankmen went into the last
relay trailing by two points to the Davidson Wildcats. But
the spectators roared to their feet as the final Cadet relay
team, sparked by speedster Arthur Little, churned into the
lead to take the relay and win the meet. This meet tomorrow
should be just such a thriller and will have men on both
teams trying tgbreak previous records set in the University
pool. Let's everybody be there, support the team and see tn
exciting meet.
Mittmen Meet Tonight
And speaking of debuts, the leather will be flying tonight
when Coach Jess Alderman pairs his boxers off and turns
them loose. These men will be making their tirst appearance
of the season and should make an impressiv.e one. Most of
the men are interested in being on the varsity squad and
the better they look tonight the better their chances will be.
So the net result will probably be a good evening of exhibition
boxing. Then be on hand at eight and see the 1951 edition
of the "Fighting Gamecocks."
intramural All-Stars
This column, along with the officials of the intramural
department are sponsoring the election of an intramural All
Star football team. Players will be selected from the Fra
ternity and Independent leagues and election of the members
will be done by the referees and officials of the intramural
sports department under the direction of Joe Grugan. This
All-Star line-up, with their picture, will be carried in the
next edition.
The Johnsonmen
Coach Frank Johnson's Gamecocks played their last game
before examinations in the Field house last night. They have
had some bad breaks and lost some close games, but they
still have a darn good team with lots of scoring punch.
According to statistics for the first eleven games of the
season, the starting quintet alone has averaged 62.1 points
per game.
The substitutes have added 4.7 points per contest for an
overall average of 66.8 points per game. This is a lot of
Points on any basketball court.
All-American candidate Jim Slaughter has helped push
that total up quite a bit. In addition to breaking the state
scoring record for a single game with 37 points against
Furman, he had an average of 25.5 points per game in the
first eleven games with an average of 28.5 for the first
seven conference games.
Not only do we think that Jim is All-American, but the
basketball coach at Long Island University thinks he is
lpretty good, too. When Jim fouled out in that game in Mad
ison Square Garden, he came out on the court to give him a
p)ersonal handshake.
Late Football Observations
Although football season has long since passed on, a
friend of ours passed along this joke the other day and we
thought you might like it.
It seems the Grandma had just come home from seeing
her first football game. "How'd you like it, Grandma ?"
asked Junior.
"Terrible," she replied. "They were all lined up and ready
to play when some smart aleck came up and kicked the ball
and they fought over it all the rest of the game."

24/2, Runners-Up
By RALPH GREGORY
Intramural football crowned its
1950-51 champs last Friday with
one new titleholder and one re
peater from last year. The hold
over team was Kappa Alpha who
took the fraternity division title
with a narrow victory over Pi
Kappa Phi, 7-6. The new champ
in the independent division is
ASME. The engineers trimmed
Tenement 24%, 9-0, in the final
game.
The KA's had advanced to the
finals with victories over Phi
Kappa Sigma and Kappa Sigma.
They opened the playoffs with a
narrow win over PKS, 6-0. Robin
Rogers, their sparkplug for the
entire year, passed for the only
score early in the second half and
the KA's held on for the win. The
following night Rogers again
passed the champs to a win. This
time it was at the expense of
Kappa Sigma, 19-6.
Pi Kappa Phi had advanced to
the finals by downing Sigma Chi
13-0 and Lambda Chi 13-6. In the
final game Robin Rogers brought
the KA's from behind with a pass
for a touchdown and another toss
for the extra point.
Tenement 24% began the com
etit inr, in the independent divi
sion by edging Tenements 2&3,
13-7. Jack Herndon paced the Mc
Bryde men offensively with his
sharp passing that accounted for
all their points. Lloyd Chinnis and
Ray Boylston stood out defensively
for the victors. Red Hollis passed
for the only 2&3 tally.
ASME trounced Tenement 9 by
a score of 27 to 7 on the same after
noon as Tom Clark was the stand
out in the scoring department. Jake
Salley saved face for the men from
Tenement 9 as he passed for their
score late in the last period.
In the final Tom Clark was
again good for a touchdown and
the extra point that was enough
to win. The engineers nailed one
McBryde man behind the goal for
the other two points and a 9-0 win
that gave them the Independent
championship. Jack Light was a
standout on defense with several
timely stops of the opposing team.
Basketball play is scheduled
to begin immediately following
the change of semesters. All or
ganizations desiring to enter
teams are requested to contact
the intramural office as soon as
possible in the coming week as
this will be the last chance to
enter. The schedule will be di
vided int, two divisions with the
fraternities in one division and
the independent teams In the
other.
Billy Davis, student director of
intramural athletics for the past
two and a half years, has re
tired and is to be succeeded by
Wilma Hughes. Billy has been
instrumental in the 4gtramural
field for two years and will be
greatly missed by the office.
Wilma has been an assistant to
Billy for the past year and is
well acquainted with Intramural
work.

Carolina Holds
Meet In Natatoi
By RUDY THIGPEN
Carolina's swimming team will
meet the Citadel tankmen tomor
row afternoon at 8:80 in the uni
versity pool, in their first home
meet of the season.
This is the second meet of the
season for both schools. The Cita
del won its opening meet with
Davidson 39 to 36. Carolina lost
its opener with Davidson 47 to 27,
but will present a greatly improved
team tomorrow afternoon.
The freshman teams of both
schools will also meet. These two
meets will be worked in together
with the varsity swimming one
event and the frosh swimming one
alternately.
Coach Jimmy Ratliff's Game
cocks have been strengthened with
several new additions and should
provide keen competition for the
highly rated Cadets. Free stylers
for the Gamecocks will probably
be: Jimmy Smith, Cayce; Chuck
Winder, Lyndhurst, Ohio; Bard
Allison, Philadelphia, Pa.; George
Crepeau, Columbia; Miles Roberts,
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; and Jim
Warren, Moncks Corner.
Back strokers will be Doc Lamb,
Newark, N. J., newly elected team
captain, and Chuck Winder. Lamb
will also handle the diving chores.
On the breast stroke will be Nick
Koluch, Jersey City, N. J.
Morrison Is
Point Maker
After suffering the lack of a
forward who could be a consistent
scoring threat through the 1949
50 season. the Gamecocks have
found a solution from the junior
college ranks. He's Dwane Mor
rison, who jumped from Campbells
ville, Ky., Junior College to the
Carolina campus ahd has become
one of the better forwards in the
Southern Conference.
Morrison, a son of "Jughandle"
Morrison, the famous Pittsburgh
pitcher of years back, hails from
the basketball stronghold of Owens
boro, Ky., and is causing increaa
ing concern among Gamecock op
ponents. His variety of shots,
from far out and close in, has given
him an average of 11.3 points in
the first eleven games, and his
height has made him invaluable in
helping center Jim Slaughter with
rebound collections.
Morrison, a junior this year, is
among the best in the nation on
free thos,having hit on 25 of
his first -atepts f9r a 78.1
percentage. ~ always ,s)oot foul
shots with my eye closed," Morri
son explains, "because It gives me
balance."
-And Morrison, eyes open or shut,
Is giving balance to the Game
cocks' conference title aspirations!
