Voigt, to put it simply, wins the applause and admiration of all by his grim fighting spirit to do or know why. His fearlessness in playing sometimes cost him hard jolts and spills, but never was his indomitable spirit dampened by them. He well merits praise for his work this season.

The team has played under sev- eral handicaps. The loss of Petit and Mauro, the one by graduation, the other by appointment to Annapolis, considerably weakened the team. How- ever, it is with much satisfaction that we review the playing of the squad turned out this season by Coach Frank Myers. The quint's pluck and con- sistent fighting spirit, in spite of sometimes overwhelming odds, has won the respect and admiration of all. Al Taylor, as captain, has shown ability of a rare nature in this trying position. Although of small stature and very light, Al is a source of much strength to his team by his speedy footwork and careful judgment. I-lis guard- ing was well done and his technique irreproachable. 'KAY' Taylor will always be remembered for his clean and effective playing. Carl Seeback, who .was second in command, has distinguished himself for three years by that speedy, brilliant, yet steady type of playing so valued in all forms of athletics. For breaking through apparently impenetrable guards and ringing a difficult goal, he was most remarkable.

The score was tied four times by the work of Voigt, Seebeck, Taylor, and Clark by a free throw at the end of the game. In the live minutes of extra play, the Marines proved too much for the light College team and the score ended 43-40 in favor of the Marines. The game with the Furman Hurricane was especially encouraging to the College team for the duration of the first half. But the end of the second half left the victory to Furman, 54-33. The second game also fell to Fur- man, 55-29. The one game of the season in which the College succeeded in carrying off the laurels was the hrst game played with the Newberry Indians. The whole team starred, Bryan, Seebeck, and Voigt standing out especially. In the return engagement Newberry came back with a victory of 42-26 over the College. The College played another bangup game against the Carolina Game- cocks but the heavier Gamecocks ran up a score of 57 against the Collegels score of 31. Against the Citadel, the College did not show up as well as was expected. At brief intervals the College did some very effective work, led by Taylor, Page One H uudred Y'lzi1'ty-sm' V. , ,.g..fig , il lx In ii - v v I . w.
