PORTS.R !9ANDERS BY SANDERS Intramurals--The Heart of Carolina The sports blood of the Carolina student circulates around heart of intramural activities. You may wonder as to the exactness of this statement, but I can assure you, one and all, that this is quite true. The intramural activities here at Carolina is truly one of greatness. And, this greatness stems from the students. Under the able direction of Bob Jenkins, student intra mural director, and his associate, Wayne Kilgore, the sports events for the "man on campus" is a major part of a college education. A perfect example of the outstanding work being done by the intramural department is found in the efforts of Jenkins and his associates to maintain touch football in the 'mural program after a serious accident occurred on the first day of the season. Through the combined efforts of those mentioned and all of the students who signed the petition asking the ad ministration to allow intramural football to continue, the administration did take into consideration the views of the students concerned and came up with a right and just answer. So, here's a tip of the bat to Bob Jenkins, Wayne Kilgore, and the administration for their efforts to please the students at Carolina. Thanks . . . everyone. No Split in ACC!! This nation of ours is made up of all sorts of people with many different views on every subject imaginable. That's one of the basic freedoms which Americans enjoy. So, now I am about to express my views on a question that appears to be bothering the executives of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The problem at hand is the grants-in aid controversy. Recent newspaper reports give the impression that a strife has arisen within the conference over the grants-in aid situation. But, I must agree with Don Barton, sports editor of the Columbia Record and former sports publicist at Carolina, who feels that it is not a strife among member schools of the ACC, but merely a difference of opinion. According to the plan which, at the present time, the Big Four (Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina, and North Carolina State) and Clemson wants an agreement among the member schools not to attempt to induce a certain athlete to attend their school after one of the other schools has signed a scholarship "agreement" with the athlete. I must agree with Carolina on their stand in the matter, and not because I am a Carolina supporter, either. It is my own personal conviction that the grants-in-aid system which five schools of the Conference have agreed upon is quite "crazy." Let's use a hypothetical case in trying to tear this thing apart. Suppose there were eight coaches in an outstanding athlete's home during the month of February and they all (Continued on page 7) You get better loo1kin There's a whole new outlook behind the wheel-a bigger view of the road over that sassy hood.

The Gamecocks will meet the Longhorns at Austin on Oct. 5, but not the Hurricane next year. This is the only change in their 1957 football schedule. Last sea son, the Hurricanes beat the Birds 14-6 in a balmy Florida climate. Carolina's other opponents will be the same as this past seabon, includiing Wofford, Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, Clemson, Fur man, North Carolina State, Mary land, and Wake Forest. Duke will be the Gamecock's opening oppo nent on September 21. All of the above teams, with the possible exception of Clemson, which will lose heavily through graduation, except stronger teams. South Carolina will have the bulk of its team returning with which to bid for the Atlantic Coast Conference crown. Only losses from the 1956 starting team will be quarterback Mackie Prickett, end Buddy Frick, and tackles Tony Byers and Sam DeLuca. ford, Clemson, N. C. State, Vir ginia and Wake Forest.

Before the battle last Wednes [lay night at Charlotte's Memorial Coliseuhi, the Birds were averag ing about 91 points per game against Wofford, Duke, and Geor gia. The final results to the North .arolina State game were not available at press-time. Wallace, Pericola Shine The main cog in the Gamecock machine is Grady Wallace, the G-4 senior from Mare Creek, Ky., who averaged 27.3 points per game in his first three outings. In the game against Duke, Wallace was held to 21 points, but came back last Saturday in the second half to lead the Birds to a 97-74 win over the Georgia Bulldogs. "Cookie" Pericola, the fine play maker from Union City, N. J., is currently the toast of the Caro lina students as he has continued to baffle the opposition with his fine floor play. In addition to being the number one floorman for the Birds, Pericola is the sec ond highest scorer on the roster with 48 points scored in three games for an average of 16 points per game. Dick Hoffman, the other half of the Union City combination at Carolina, gave the fans a surprise last Saturday as he scored 19 of his 20 points in the first half. This outstanding offensive spark by Hoffman, along with the fine rebounding by the entire team, enabled the Birds to move on to victory over the Bulldogs. McGuire Brings Fine Team Coach Frank McGuire, who is currently in his fifth year at North Carolina as head basketball coach, has finally reached the top in basketball annals wvith a fine all 'iround group of candidates for conference honors. The big dlifference in the North Carolina quintet this year as com p)aredl to years gone by is a young lad named Lennie Rosenbluth, a 6-5 transplanted Yankee who has. established himself as one of the finest basketball players to grace the Southern courts. All-American in Action Picked as a pre-season All America by several selectors, Len nie has already shown signs of being one of the finest players in the nation. When only a sopho more, Rosenbluth was rated on the third team All-America and last year, he wvas on everyone's All-American squad. And, appar L'ntly, 1956 is going to be no Difepth of Tar Heel. Good Other players gracing the North Carolina group are Pete Brennan, Jr. of Brooklyn, N. Y. who was second only to Rosenbluth in re bounding last year wvhile a sopho more. Joe Quigg, Jr., another of the starte'rs of last year's aggrega tion, is currently playing an out standling game for the Tar Heels. Slated to see action for the North Carolinians tomorrow night 'ilong with the aforementioned Rosenbluth, Brennan, and Quigg are Danny Lotz, Roy Searcy, G e h r m a n n Holland, Tommy Kearnes, and Tommy Rnadovich. The 'rar Heels average about 6-5 along the bench, and the re bounding pe'rformnance of both te'ams will probably he indilcative of the winner of the game. Bird Starters Thue p)robable starting line-up for the Gamecocks will be Hoff man andl Wallace at forward, Fred Lentz at center, and Bobby Mc Coy and Pericola at the guard slots. Varsity action is slated to get under way at 8:15 p.m. and a preliminary game between the freshmen and the frosh from Geor gia Teachers will commence at
