T E GAMECOCK SWIMMIN( after finishing their regular schedu Etheredge, Jim Turner, Jack Hale, Eddie Floyd, Toni Eargle, Jim Wh were Roth Snowden, Phil Wilkins cock staff photo by Landis Perry) 'Mural Co Opens wit] By MIKE The 1954 Intramural basketball campaign started with a bang last Tuesday night and will continue in full swing until March 4, at which time the finals will be held to decide the masters of the hard woods at USC, intramurally speaking. The league set-up is the same as in the past with two Indepen dent Leagues and two Fraternity Leagues. It seems that basketball is just about the most popular spqrt here at Carolina as more teains are entered in basketball than football or volleyball. Independent League Number One is composed of ten teams with the big threat in that league last years' defending league and cam pus champs in the "persons" of Block C. A few men have gone from last season's aggregation but such players as Joe Silas and Fred Duckett will be back to harrass the opposition. Silas was one of the big guns on last years' team and was one of the outstanding players in intramural circles. Independent League Number Two is composed of eight teams and Maxey will be tagged as the team to beat, in lieu of their an nexing last years' crown in this league. It seems that.each floor of Maxey had a team last year but this year there will only be one team rep)resenting Maxcy so their threat looks even greater. Over in the Fraternity set-up and in league one in particular, there are six teams with Pi Kappa Phi, last years' All-Campus kings again looking strong. The Pi Kaps have lost a lot of last seasons' strength but still should not be counted out. Other strong teams are Sigma Nu, whose first string does not contain a man less than sig feet tall. Heading the list of players here is Phil Moody, Billy Walter and George Wilson. The Oteam is coached by "Rat" Brantley. Word is out that the Kappa Alpha five will be nothing to sneeze at.

A o, Bill Peel, Coach Jimmy Ratliff, urt Action 1 31Teams LOVEJOY Over in the other Fraternity league there are six teams and things will be led by last years' title holders, Phi Kappa Sigma. They will be looking good this year with some necessary changes necessary due to graduations. Other potential powers in this league are SAE, and Sigma Chi who is always in contention in intramural play. In talking with Student Intra mural Director Artie Knight, some changes in rules and regula tions were noted. Two forfeits means an automatic drop from the league and a deduction of a certain amount of points. Each team will be given fifteen minutes to show up and thereafter a forfeit will be recorded. He suggested that if a club does not feel it can field a team on a certain day to call the Intramural Office and have the game postponed to a later date which is convenient to both teams involved and the Intramural Of fice. He stated that the referee situation is pretty good but then he can always use some more. A look at the standings towards the IFC All-Campus Trophy finds Sigma Nu ahead with a total of 232 points which were compiled with the campus volleyball crown and fraternity football champion ship. Other leaders are: Lambda Chi with 191 and Sigma Chi with 174. The schedule of next weeks' games commencing with- the ones tonight looks like this: Feb. 12--Seven: Ten. 9 vs. New man Club at University High, Mc Bryde vs. Carovets at the Gym and ATO vs. Phi Kappa Sigma at the Field House. Eight: Ten. 22 vs. Freshmen at University High, Burney vs. Ten. 12 at the gym, andl Phi Sigma Kappa vs. Phi Eps Pi at the Field House.

USC Extends GW; Splits Two Others Carolina's basketballers played one of their better games of the season Tuesday night in the Field House when they extended George Washington's nationally - ranked Colonials for three quarters be fore finally fading in the last stanza for a 61-52 defeat. Guard Jackie Hufford turned in another outstanding performance for the Gamecocks as he scored 17 points to take top honors there and he stole the ball often from the sometimes bewildered Colon ials. Lee Collins was second in scor ing for the Birds with 16 and was followed by Joe Smith who lagged behind with eight, Paul Goldsmith six, and Tom Hofferth five. Hof ferth was unble to score until the final quarter. The defeat gave Carolina a 7-11 won-lost record. Last week the Gamecocks split a pair of games, beating Davidson's Wildcats, 96-73, and losing to Wake Forest by a 77-62 count. Three Gamecocks topped the 20 point mark against Davidson as Collins dropped in 24, Smith 23 and Hufford 22. Hofferth added 18 for good measure. But high man for the night was Davidson's Hobby Cobb with 28 points. Wake Forest had too much Dickie Hemrie for the Gamecocks. Hemric exhibited his usual consist ancy, poise and ability as he banged away for 29 points and held Carolina's Lee Collins to six points. Hemiric's edge in poise and experience proved too much for the 6-6 Lancaster sophomore. Wright-] 1330 M. * %../ 14 Men'.

LEANERS reale St. y,Clauspdg l 8:00 P.M.) ndry Servie Lane Compi Wants Chair In the coaching profession the expressions "wait until next year" and "we're building" seems to me to mean that someone is passing the buck. The students are tired of waiting until next year; they are tired of seeing teams being built year after year. They want to know what is going on in the athletic department. They want to know facts and only facts. It seems to me that the student is a stockholder in the firm of USC Athletic Department. The athletic director is duty bound to let the student know why they spend so much money in that department yet get so little in return. I don't think the student expects the teams to win every game or to set records every time they put on uniforms, they just want the teams to represent the university in a winning fashion. This may seem as if I am talk ing about the basketball team. In a way it is, and in a way it is not. Even in football we would not have won seven games if the one platon system had not been in effect. This coming season we will be short on quarterback. Why? Couldn't someone see that Gramling would not be here forever? In basketball it is anybody's guess on what is going on. We have been building and building ever since I have been here. I suggest that we get another builder if the project is going to take this long.

Why? Why is it that we have one of the' best basketball players in the state of South Carolina at this university yet we can not give him a scholarship. Again why? Why encourage boys to come out for the basketball if they have to sit on the bench the entire I season? I think you can build 1 better men by letting them play 3 if that is what we are after. The answer to some of these question is only to obvious. The Athletic department thinks that if they devote their time and money to football, to build a football machine that will be placed in the top 10 in the nation, then the minor sports will take care of them selves. Now I ask you, how is it that North Carolina State has a good basketball team, yet they don't have a good football team? Why is that Clemson has sent several football teams to bowls in the past years, yet they have never had a good basketball team. No, I'm sorry but to me that doesn't sound logical. It seems to me if you want a good basketball team you have to go out and find boys that can play basketball, if you want to have a good swimming team you have to go out and get good swimmers. North Carolina State doesn't wait until the players come to them; they go out and find the material.

I know that athletic depart nents just can't pick good ath etes off a street corner, but the nain point is that somebody :nows where they can be found. .et's look at things as they really ire, not by saying wait until next rear. If something is wrong with team let's find out what it is mnd do something about it now, oecause even if we improve next rear it only stands to reason that he other teams will improve also. A good place to start is with the wimming team. Not one boy on he swimming team receives any inancial aid from the athletic de )artment. No free meals, no free )ooks, no free nothing. If it is ,rue that we give scholarships to hose boys that need it and are )articipating in the athletic pro cram, then it's about time someone .ook a little walk over to the swim ning pool.
