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.

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. Ile is als(
a good rebounder.
Center Lee Collins has als
helped the situation somewhai
with his spasmodic shooting bul
excellent rebounding. Toi Iof
ferth, -Jack Hufford and Pau
Goldsmith round out the stak'tinx
I five.
Clemson claims the right to an
other fine ballplayer in Ame
Wells. Wells has scored over th(
20-point mark consistantly thus fai
this season and will likely carrN
the brunt of the attack against th(
Gamecocks.
Carolina travels to Spartan
burg tomorrow night for an i
p.m. encounter with the Woffon
Terriers. Carolina has alreadi
beaten them once earlier in th<
year in the local field house.
Coed Tourney

The ('arolna basketball team
brouwght about quite a surprise in
Charlotte Tuesday night when
they held the N. C. State squad
to a 6;8-62 victory.
The Ganecocks were particular
inpressive leading the State men
mlost of the way. Only in the final
quarter did the Gamecocks lose
spirit ida let the Stateirs take the
lead. This was a remarkable feat
for a supposedly w,-ak Gamecock
t.eam to hold to a minimui one
of the Iig-iest scorin coleges in
the nation.
