The sessions were originally slated to begin last Monday, but due to exams and adverse weather con ditions, Coach Giese had -to delay practice until the end of the week. As a measure to guard against possible injuries and get the team in better shape, Carolina's head coach 'has had the members of the squad enrolled in "P. T." courses this semester. The staff is hoping to be spared from the injuries that riddled the starting and alternate units last season. Giese A tough battle is expected in the race for starting assignments, as twelve players were lost via graduation, most of them on the starting two units. Gone are line men Kirk Phares, Bill Jerry, Ed Pitts, Jimmy Duncan, and Jack Ashton, as well .s backs John Saunders, Phil Lavoie, Steve Sat terfield, Steve Kopian, Joe Gones, Jim Bowman, and W. L. Strick land. Five of 1 a s t year's starters, which posted a 6-4 record, are back on the roster this year and carry the Birds' hopes along the forward wall and -in the back f'ield. The returning linemen are ends Jerry Frye and Jack Pitt, guard Jake Bodkin, and center .Jim McGovern, w h i 1 e the lone backfield vet is right half Kenny Norton. Norton was the second leading ground gainer last season with a 5.0 average on 79 carries. Coach Giese is expecting several sopho mores and "Red Shirts" to join Norton behind the line, as well as last season's reserves, who saw a good bit of action. A mong those who are expected to add depth to the Gamecock attack are quarter backs Jim Costen, Buddy Bennett, and Dave Sowell, and halfbacks J.ack Morris, Jimmy Hunter, Mel vin Harris, Bobby Saunders, and 1Bob JIama. Linemen wvho w i I I be vieing for positions on the first units are ends Bob Drost, Bill Magan, a n d Sammy Torrence, tackles Frank Staley, Sammy Fewell, and Tom Hannah, guards Ken D)erriso, Don Miles, Dave A d a m s , and 4474'hageo go ethe cargel. oo retation. R EFRESH ED he Coco-Cola Company by NO CO. Oa COLUMBIA Phi Kap D For Fratei Midnight came rather early to the oinderella SPEs Monday eve ning in the Carolina Field House as the cagey Phi Kappa Sigmas spun a web around the champion ship' hopes of SPE, by downing them 30-27. In a slow-moving, almost color less game, Phi K a p p a Sigma played steady and persistent ball, and proved capable to .the task of gunning Sigma Phi Epsilon to earth. The latter was never able to get its offense going and sev eral errors in the last period of play were costly. The f r a t e r n i t y intramural basketball c r o w n was at stake. Last Wednesday Sigma Phi Epsi lon, in a hard-played contest, had t a k e n the championship, 45-43. But Phi Kappa Sigma immedi ately con-tested the game claiming t h a t defective timing apparatus had delayed the clock and that at least ten seconds had lapsed before play was resumed. Intramural of ficials felt the protest justified and the game was replayed. Before a small c r o w d that lacked much of the enthusiasm of last week's fans, both teams got off to a weak start. At the end of the flirst period of play, Sigma Phi Epsilon held a feeble lead, 4-2. The pace remained slow. In fact, about the only thing that moved was the c 1 o c k. By half-time, neither team had exhibited much spark or will, and the scoreboard boasted a mere 15-12 record, with Phi Kappa S i g m a bearing the lead. When play resumed the pace picked up and continued to mount until the closing seconds of the game, when the final score was decided. SPE took the floor with some fancy plays that pleased the crowds, but were not able to give the fiive-day champs much of a lead. With three minutes, 12 sec onds remain-ing, their lead was only 26-24. Phi Kappa Sigma now pushed their offense into high gear. Rod ger Groves played with a cool and steady hand and was ably assisted by aides Henry Philpot and Bill Magan. At 1:27 the score was 27-28 with Phi Kap a lone point Wayne Shiflet, and centers John 7ordon, McGovern, Jim Nemeth, ind Clark Waring. Giese has also named sophomores Dick Day, 200-pound fullback, and Ken Kilrea, 212-pound halfback, as >ossible candidates for the varsity squad. 12" LP VINYL Specially Pressed by RCA Custom Records Just released for VICEROY -the Cigarett AiltTHINKING MAN'S FILTER MAN'S TASTEI SWHAT) 10 GREA S Martians' Luliab' Royal Garden Bi Shine C .

SPE now made desperate er rors. They lost the ball with 26 seconds remaining and it appeared the game was going to be a replay of Wednesday's contest. Sig Ep Neal Monette fouled Dave Adams, who missed his shot. Sig Ep hopes picked up, but they lost control of the ball a g a i n. Phi Kap snatched the ball up as the final seconds ticked away, but they too lost control. In the scramble Phi Kap ace Hen,ry Phijlpot was fouled. He made good .the shot, 29-27. In the dying seconds Phi Kap made still another foul shot and the final buzzer turned the SPE coach into a pumpkin as the Phi Kaps rode off the court the Intramural champs. Final score was 30-27. High scorers for Phi Kappa Sigma were Magan, Buris,. and Philpot with eight points each. Top scoring man for SPE was Joe Gomes with 15. Bob Drost had five points for the losers. Phi Sigs Win Table Tennis Championship The annual Intramural Ping Pong Tournament was .held re cently, with the ping pong balls flying high and low in the Old Gym. Each of the fourteen fra ternities participated in the 'table tennis action. The games were played in sin gles in the best two out of three matches. The quarter flinals saw Alpha Tau Omega win by forfeit from Phi Kappa Sigma, .Phi Sig ma Kappa by forfeit from Kappa Alpha, Phi Epsilon Pi over Sig ma Nu, and Kappa Sigma over Lambda Chi Alpha. The following day brought in the semi-finals and Allen Rappa port, Phi Sigma Kappa, defeated Dave Adams of Phi Kappa Sigma. The other half.of the semi-finals was played between Meyer Lipp man, Phi Epsilon Pi, and Bobby Dobson of Kappa Sigma, w i t h Lippman going into the finals. The finals, held on the same day, pitted Phi Sigma Kappa and Phi Epsilon Pi. Phi Sigs' Rappa port took the first round 41-17, 21-16. In 'the second of two out of three rounds, Rappaport again de feated Phi Eps' Lippman 21-5, 21-12, for .the trophy. O/ 'IECRD ' JAZ UMER 5-.
