University of South Carolina Libraries
SPORTOMATIC One o'clock in the morning might not be considered the most advantageous time to produce readable material, but iyeing our watch we find it's exactly such an hour and realizing no other solution available, the ole typewriter will have to get the treatment. I took a short trip over to Melton Field Tuesday afternoon to watch a few of the football playoffs in intramural compe tition. Cold as the weather might have been, the fierceness and aggressiveness with which the teams performed sur prised me somewhat. Some of our more capable reporters have been covering intramurals entirely up to this point, therefore this was actually the first action I have seen this year. INTRAMURAL COMPETITION Intramurals are an integral part of the University's physi cal fitness program. It provides for excellent diversion in many students, unending pleasure and entertainment, and i,0an overall enjoyment for the sports enthusiasts who fall below the calibre of varsity material, but on the other hand itill want to participate in some form of sports or another. For these men desiring an outlet for their stored-up energy, Carolina's intramural department offers volleyball, football, basketball, softball, swimming, track, etc. This pertains to independants as well as fraternities. In summation, this de partment does a terrific job. Joe Grugan, director of most of the activities, must have found the desired solution to cope with difficulties because the program seems to this writer as if it were in for some continued smooth sailing. To the intramural department and people affiliated with it, my sincerest understandment of a job well done. ST. GEORGE TOURNEY I received a bit of information from the well-known John Behling in St. George this week pertaining to the annual St. George Jaycee basketball tournament played this year from March 4 through the 13th. Knowing Mr. Behling from our last year's tournament participation, everything he boasts of about this tourpey "Where the Champions Play" is usually o the level. It's top-flight basketball, played in a basketball adhiiring community, by some of the state's best ballplayers. The tourney is divided into three classes, namely A, AA, and AAA. Last year the University was well represented here. Harleyville won th*e A division which was made up mostly of Carolina men. The AA division was won by Pi Kappa Phi fraternity here on the campus, defeating Sigma Phi Epsilon, another campus frat. The AAA competition was won by Checker Cab of Columbia and its principal men were com posed of either former Gamecocks or present varsity par ticipants. Some of the features of this tournament praised by Mr. Behling are All-Tournament selections in all divisions, most outstanding ballplayer of the tourney, etc. And as a high light, a trophy is presented to the state's outstanding col lege basketball player, won last year by Furman's Frank Selvy. Undoubtedly, he will repeat again. This writer is not a special promoter for this event, but does advocate some teams entering from Carolina. Send a note to John Behling, St. George, S. C., and apply for admission. Deadline is Jan uary 30th. SPORTS EDITORS' ALL-AMERICANS The College Sports Editors Association has polled all major college editors to send in their rendition of an All American football team. Each Editor gets one vote for each pg8ition and a vote for the player-of-the-year. This writer sat down, pondered the issue for a while and has come up Swith this team. Ends-Carlton Massey, Texas; Clyde Ben 1net, South Carolina. Tackles-Ed Meadows, Duke; Stan Jones, Maryland; Guards-Crawford Mims, Mississippi; J. D. Roberts, Oklahoma; Center-Steve Korcheck, George Washington; Backs-Bob Garrett, Stanford, Quarterback; J. C. Caroline, Illinois, halfback; Paul Giel, Minnesota, half back; and Paul Camercon, UCLA, fullback. We aso flipped a coin and selected Paul Cameron as player of the year. The team selected will be published in the Gamecock during the ne$ few weeks. Furman's incomparable Frank Selvy is the greatest basketball player this writer has ever seen. I won't attempt to describe his unbelievable performance in Greenville last Friday night, but I will vouch for everything Al Lane has said in a story on the preceding page. FINAL COLUMN This will be the final column of the semester for this sportswriter. According to an age-old custom, the last issue of every semester is put out by the new staff. I have made some mistakes, created some antagonism among a few of the athletic affiliates, and also have probably reported falsely certain incidents. Regardlessly, I've (lone what I thought right. With this, we'll hang up the usual supporter, make way for our able successor, and journey the way most Game cock sports editors go. Gamecocks Lose 68-62 ToNCState After having portrayed some possibilities in the N. C. State event last Tuesday night in Char lotte, the Carolina basketball teani looks to the Clemson (late tonight in the field house at 8 p.m. with optimism. Neither team boasts of having compiled a successful team so fai this season nor has either teani been in any way effective. There. fore this should prove to be onc of the most interesting contestb seen in the field house all year The Gamecocks are lead by th( shooting of forward Joe Smith Smith is second in the state ir scoring behind the great Franli Selvy from Furman.
