graduation were as follows: Ends:
John Latorre, Charleston; Walt
Shea, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Fred
Duckett, Union; Slats Skelton, At
lanta. Tackles: Don Early, Van

With Charlotte now definitely

in this area over which teams will
battle for the right to compete ir

legiate championship at Omaha
Nebraska, June 11-15.
District Chairman Walter Rabb
of the University of North Caro
lina said his committee hopes to
have four teams in the playoffs,
scheduled June 1-5, with a double
elimination plan tentatively ar
ranged. These teams will be
selected at a meeting of the com
mittee in Charlotte on May 24.
Southern and Southeastern con
ference division playoffs will be
held prior to the committee meet
ing. Rabb says the champions of
these two conferences will be in
vited as two of the participating
teams. Two outstanding indepen
dent teams will round out the
quartet, if they are available.
The two top teams in each the
Southern and Northern divisions of
the Southern Conference will com
pete in this event, sched'uled at
Raleigh June 14-16, the winner tc
go to Charlotte.
Meanwhile la1yoffs will be held
in the Southeastern Conference
with Georgia, Florida and Missis
sippi State among the favorites.

Gamecocks
HandOverf,
Gamecock supporters who get
a special sensation every time
their teams beat arch-rival Clem
son in any sport, even in hop
scotch, had plenty to cheer about
during the 1952-'53 school year.
In all sports the Gamecocks won
nine and lost but four to the up
state Tigers.
Of course, the biggest thrill for
these supporters came during the
"Big Thursday" football game,
when Carolina won 6-0 for its
fifth post-war win in that series
against one loss and' a tie.
The Tigers managed splits with
the Gamecocks in basketball, base
ball, and golf, but Carolina took
all meetings in football, swimming.
Itennis, and track.
Following is the 1952-'53 record
of Carolina-Clemson sports meet
ings, with the Gamecock won-lost
record in parentheses:
Football (1-0).
USC 6, Clemson 0.
Basketball (1-1).
The ultimate winner will be in
vited to take part in the NCAA
district playoffs.
Rollins College has made one of
the most outstanding records
among the independent teams in
the district.
Chairman Rabb has written to
all eligible schools to post their
season's records with his commit
tee for consideration at the May
26 meeting.
Plans are already going forward
for the playoffs at Charlotte with
Bob Allen heading up local ar
rangements. The playoffs . have
been held in Charlotte before al
though last year they were played
at Kannapolis, N. C.
