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

Gamecocks'
'57 Schedule
Announced
The Gamecocks from Carolina
will travel to the "lone star" state
of Texas next year instead of
going to "sunny" Florida for a
football game.
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.

and Maryland.
Athletes don't fare as well in
politics as they do on the playing
fields and courts . . . Paul (Dizzy)
Trout, former pitching star of the
Detroit Tigers and more recently
Republican candidate for sheriff,
was defeated in his first political
start and George Mikan, former
basketball great, was beaten by
Democratic opposition in a Min
nesota state congressional race in
his initial political venture.

Coach Everett Case of N. C.

e-dominated cagers take on
at the Carolina Field House
ittle with the highly touted
gation.
to last Wednesday night held
i early season play, will be
primed to the.utmost in an effort
to spring an upset over the Atlan
tic Coast Conference's top quintet.
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
