HammondF With Anniv By DAVID ABEEL USC News Service A large silver tray representing treasured memories of half a cen tury ago has joined the trophies of the University of South Carolina as a reminder of its football team of 1909. Surviving members of the 1909 team presented the tray to their captain, Senator James H. Ham mond of Columbia, following the Golden Anniversary reunion of the team in Columbia last year. Subsequently, Senator Hammond had the names of team members engraved around the inside rim of the tray and then presented it to the University. The presentation was made to USC president Robert L. Sumwalt. Senator Hammond is a Colum bia attorney, chairman of the board of Security Federal Savings and Loan Association. He formerly served in the state senate. But in 1909 the great interest of "Jim" Hammond and his team mates was football, and to this day those who s ur vivye are a staunchly loyal group. The inscription on the tray reads as follows: To James H. Hammond Captain Football Team 1909 University of South Carolina With the Affection and Esteem os the Team at its 50th Reunion 1954 Of the 20 members wvhose name: appear around the tray, six ar< no longer living: Coach Christi< Benet, Columbia attorney; Benja min S.

Coach Joe Grugan has agreed to let his Gamecocks participate in games that will be rn accord ing to "streamlined" rules. USC I opens its season with games with c Amherst, Ohio State and Rollins I in Winter Park, Fla., March 24-26. The rules, which were tried suc cessfully in a similar tournament last year, were drawn up by Rol. lins' coach Joe Justice and are de signed to drop 30 to 60 minutes I from the games. t Justice's plan includes the fol lowing points: 1. No warm-up pitches between innings. 2. No tossing of the ball around the infield after each out. 3. Both teams must run on ahd i off the field when switching posi- e tions between innings. 4. The team at bat may be al- 0 lowed a courtesy runner for the pitcher in case he reaches base. This is (lone to give him a chance v to take warm-up tosses on the r Kideline. u Courtesy runners will be allowed k for the catcher after two men are out so that he may have time to get his catching gear adjusted n without delay. k 6. Intentional passes to first A htse may be handed out by the t defensive team without pitching to e the batter. Bucket Parade h SCORING Player Pts.
