The third week of practice ends ng this afternoon at the Veterans PI Hospital field. Under the tutelage ig of Coach Ted Petoskey, who is he ed ginning his tenth year here as head st coach, the locals have been sent sy through daily workouts since Feb se ruary 20. to Petoskey has put the "crying towel," popularized by his pigskin so colleagues, into full use.

'Marshall's Donkey Farm of Marion, Kentucky will furnish a trained Donkey team which will provide the fireworks in a donkey 1basketball game which will be held in the Carolina fieldhouse et. at this time. 00 Plans are being made to have 67 some of the most outstanding 67 figures in the city of Columbia 67 andl the University to take part 33 in this program in order to make 33 it a "howling" success. Among 00 the outstanding participants who 2 plan to take part are Warren 'Geise, head football coach at the 00 University, Dick Anderson, execu 57 tive secretary of the Gamecock 33 Club, basketball coach Frank 67 Johnson, Lee Collins, Carolina's 86 fine center, and who should inci 67 dentally be a "scream" trying to balance his six foot seven inch 2 frame on a donkey's back, Bill 00 Stathius and FA Hloustan who 57 weigh 270 and 245, respectively, 00 "Hunk" Miller and Leon D)aniels 33 who will p)robably have a hard 33 time convincing the "wild bucka 00 roos" that they are not part of the family. Additional riders will 1 be announced later. 75 The night will be filled with 00 "side-splitting" entertainment as 00 the men wvill take part in four 00 quarters of the wildest basketball 00 you have ever seen. Sandwiched 33 in between this will be a quarter 00 of ball with eight ri,ders frmm n BigI mn Jarrett, outfielder for the Bird. season with a healthy .380. Brazell 1 To Report Larry Jewell, second baseman; Jim Jarrett, outfielder; Frank Ellerbe, short stop; and John Cooley, pitcher. Jewell was the club's lead ing fielder last year, committing only one miscue throughout the campaign. He also had a healthy .320 batting average. Jarrett was the team's leading hitter with a .380 average. Ellerbe batted around the .260 clip and was ex cellent in the field. Cooley was used sparingly last season and compiled a 2-1 won-loss record. As of yesterday's intrasquad game, the Gamecocks' starting lineup looks something like this: Rick Ericson or Ward Fisher, catcher; Sammy Vickers, first base; Jewell, second base; Ellerbe, short stop; Ken Shore, third base; and -Jarrett, Buddy Nidiffer, and Dave Ketchem or Frank Destino in the outfield. Righthander Cooley and lefty Leon Norten appear to be bets for starting pitching as signments. Backing up this pair on the mound are Bill Frierson, Alex Brown, Murphy Lemmon, Tommy Van Keuren, Phil Donlin, and Earl Donaldson. Van Keuren is the lone southpaw in the group. Julius Derrick, John Larsen, and Dick Theusen are making strong bids for starting assignments. Der riek is an outfielder-infielder, Lar sen is an infielder, and Theusen is a catcher and first baseman. The Birds open their 1956 season by entertaining Erskine h e r e March 20. eatures Johnson the "fairer" sex with partici pants coming from the University co-eds. Also included on the program is a "Donkey Tug-A-War." There will be a half-time show featuring one of the "hottest" jazz bands aroundl these parts to keep the joint hopping. In all, it should be quite an evening of entertainment that no one should miss. It is something that has never been presented to the University before and is something no one should pass up. A Strong Track Team Fielding une of their strongest teams in recent years in 1954, the University's trackmen will be seeking their second straight state title and a possible win of the ACC championship. The return of Tommy Woodlee from the Coast Guard, plus last year's stars, Sonny Welcher, Gan McBride, and Freddie Roberts, have given Coach Weems Baskin one of the strongest clubs in the south.

Four returnees from last year's team - Joe McCarley, Billy Hig gins, Bobby McCarty, and Bobby Gunnels - will be depended on heavily to lead the team through the 17-game schedule. McCarley, a senior, is perhaps the most con sistent player of the four, but all are near par golfers, Coach Law horne said. Practice has been going on for weeks, and trials have been held to fill the positions on the team of six. A number of persons have re ported for these trials, and some players have been quite impres sive. McCarley, juniors Billy Hig gins and Bobby Gunnels, and sophomore Bobby McCarty are definitely in the lineup, Coach Lawhorne said. Players for the other positions will he picked in the next few days. This year the team will be with Greer Takes Tourney Title Charleston, March 6 - Greer's state Class A champions scored a surprising 74-70 victory over Bishop England in the finals of the West Ashley Invitational basketball tournament here to night. Camden, runnerup to Greer in the recent state finals, won the consolation title by whipping Whitmire 88-46 in the opener. Camden, twice beaten, led 37-28 at halftime, but ran away with the victory in the second half. A field goal by Dickie Graveley and two free throws by Don Jones in the last minute gave Greer its victory. Bishop England's only previous loss in 28 games was to the University of South Carolina freshmen in Columbia. High scorers tonight were as follows: Charles McGuirt with 21, Bobby Mickle with 20 and Bobby Robin son with 18, all of Camden; June Raines with 18 for Whitmire; Butch Miller with 19 and Jones with 18 for Greer, and Francis (Bevo) Clair with 26 and Gene Jankowski with 17 for Bishop England. First All Women's Game Trading idle coquetry for real gridiron glamor, Carolina's co-eds quit chasing men to chase pigskins in the nation's first all women's football game. Laying down knit ting to take up football for aid to Britain and Alpha Kappa Gamma's scholarship fund, 40 hefty Tri Deltas and 40 husky Pi Phis practiced and trained for two wveeks in a strenuous effort to get in condition. Many gave up "dopes" and cigarettes; some even tried spinach and turnip greens. The Pi Phis with their Notre Dame shift, with special variations along the swingtime football lines, man aged to squeak by the Tri Delts 7 to 0 as Doris Nash pranced 35 yards for the game's only touch dlown. (Garnet & Black, 1941) School Spirit in 1940 The year 1940 In the University's history will he remembered for more than just a football season. From the initial encounter with the Georgia Bulldogs until the final battle with the Citadel one feature predominated all of the contests--school spirit. The squad played hard, and the students were enthusiastic. The harder the team played, the more enthusiastic wvere' the students, and vice versa.
