BIRD CAGE 61W Tomn JWXown At least a couple of new faces will be seen in the Carolina football coaching ranks. this year. Already Jack Scarbath has been signed to fill one of the vacancies created by the resigpations of Billy Henderson and Leo Mahoney. Specula tion has it that Newberry's personable head coach, Harvey Kirkland, may soon join him. Also the names of Columbia High's Jim Pinkerton and Dreher's "Red" Myers have been whispered about frequently bn the rumor line. Scarbath, former All-American at the University of Mary land and later a pro star, should prove very valuable in aiding Carolina's weak quarterback situation. While at Maryland, Scarbath gained a reputation as a great passer. He was Maryland's first-string quarterback for three seasons from 1950 to 1952. He earned All-Southern the last two and gained first-team honors on 20 All-Ameri can teams, including Associated Press, United Press, Look Magazine, Collier's, and International News Service. If the Gamecocks can garner Harvey Kirkland, they will be acquiring the services of one of the state's top recruiters. In addition, Kirkland possesses considerable football know how, as evidenced by the success of his Newberry clubs. A good proselyter may be exactly what the Gamecocks need since Billy Henderson is returning to Lanier, Ga., as high school coach. Billy was one of the best. Coach Marvin Bass is known to be under consideration for the head coaching job at the Universit'y of Virginia. Bass is a man of considerable talents and his loss would mean a severe blow to the Gamecocks. He is very respected by all of the Gamerooster l players. Incidentally, we are reminded that the opening of spring football practice is only 15 days away. Without a doubt, Carolina trainer, Charlie Saad, is the Gamecock basketballers number one booster. His shouts of, "Way to go Cookie! Let's make it a hundred, boys I Get him Bob!" etc., can be heard all over the field house. And he can be heard whether the Gamecocks are 20 points ahead or 20 points behind. Charlie is a native of Wheeling, West Virginia. He was trainer at West Virginia U. from 1947 to 1953. He worked with the Memphis Chicks pro baseball club from 1952 Saad until he joined the Gamecocks. Dick Hoffman may well be the most valuable player on the Carolina basketball team. At least he is. by far the most versatile. His value was demonstrated "full force" in one of the recent engagements. The "Silver Fox" entered the game with eight minutes gone in the first half. He immediately sank one of his beautiful one-handed sets from way out, and then proceeded to grab three straight rebounds. In the North Carolina game last Saturday, Hoffman was virtually the only USC player that could come near the basket in 'the first half. He ended the night with 20 points, only two less than his home-town counterpart Cookie Peri cola poured in. INCIDENTAL NOTES AND QUOTES Our apologies go out to Dr. W. Y. Wagener of the English Department. In last week's special issue his name was er roneously spelled without the extra "e." . . . Coach Warren Geise doesn't specify any of his coaches as backfield coach, end coach, line coach, etc., all are simply "assistant coaches." ...Bill -Burns of the USC varsity tennis squad is the brother of Clemson's star racqueteer, Bob Burns. . . Spring sports are right around the corner. The baseball, tennis, and track squads are already running through their pre season limbering-up exercises. . . . Woodruff High's all-star halfback, Bobby Ivey, was down at Carolina to take the en trance exam and look over the campus last Saturday. It looks like Clemson may not be so sure of having him after all. . .. Dickie Prater was given a nice two-page spread1 in Sport Magazine this month. He is pictured with his lovely wife, Clotene, and their daughter, Wanda Lynn. The article points out that the 25-year-old Prater "has probably put in more man-hours of playing basketball than any college student extant." . . . Keep an eye on Carolina quarterback Dick Ben nett of Jesup, Ga., during the spring football practices. Ben nett was an outstanding member of the "red shirts" last season after transferring here from Stetson University in Florida The end of the season won't mean much in the way of rest A IE T O for several members of the Uni versity of South Carolina basket ball squad. Forward Don Good- 2~O ~ j roe, who set a new Atlantic Coast Conference record in the high hur- ~ dles as a sophomore last year, has6 Xk already dropped off the squad to _ prepare for the approaching track _ season. He'll be joined- later by forward Walt Hudson, who set state high school dash records of 22.2 for the 220 and 9.9 for the 100 d while at Dreher In Columbia, and - his twin brother, Bury, who was state hurdles champ. All-confer ence guard candidate "Cookie" Pericola will report to the tennis team, GLAMOGR I FOR COEDS PERSONALUTY .-s FOR MEN Poaeraits By LAUN Fratern,it Intramur Fraternity intramural basket ball closes out its first week of play tonight with three league games on tap in the University Gym. Pi Kappa Phi plays SAE at 6, defending champ PiKA meets Pericola Is All Around Good Player Often the description "good floor man" Is a sort of cover-up for a basketball player's short comings as a scorer. Such isn't the case for South Carolina's colorful playmaker and ball-handler Ray (Cookie) Perl cola, who is noted more among Gamecock fans as a "quarterbat* on the floor" than a point-maker. Those antics have@ so over shadowed his shooting that an impressive scoring record has gone almost overlooked. And the most significant aspect of it is Cookie's best performances come against the strongest opponents. A junior from Union City, N. J., the Gamecock guard has played in 45 varsity games thus far and has scored in double figures in all but nine of them. He set a new school scoring record for sophomores last year in compiling 434 points and a 15.0 average, and he is aver aging better than 14 a game this year. Last year he concentrated on getting the ball in to national scoring leader Grady Wallace but outscored his All-American team mate on four occasions. Pericola set his precedent of saving the best for the toughest as a sophomore, hitting for 21 points against defensively-tough Maryland, 19, 15 and 11 against national champ North Carolina, 23 against Georgia Tech, 16 in a tournament upset over Duke and 18 in an upset over N. C. State. This year his 29 points led Carolina over Georgia Tech again, and his 21-point splurge was the big kick in an 'upset over Duke in Columbia. He fired in 19 and 23 points in two games against North Carolina, and had 17 against nationally ranked N. C. State. Annual Coed Swim Meet To Be Soon The annual women's swimming meet will be held soon, Liz Singletary, president of the Wo men's Athletic Association, has announced. The meet will be open to all women, with their sororities or on an independent team, she said. The public will be invited to watch. An individual medley and a four-lap free style relay will start the meet off. Then one lap of the free stroke, breast stroke and back stroke 'will be timed for each team. Softball tournaments will be held in March, Singletary said. Volleyball will be in April and tennis will be in May. STUDENTS I MVLIN 57; YOU'RE RROUNOED BY..
