For Gamecock Tilt

Confident after superlative de

rated Owls, the unbeaten, untied
Lion gridders began preparations
yesterday for the battle with the
South Carolina eleven here' n Sat
urday.
Coach Bob Higgins sent his var

drill against Gamecocks' plays,
which were performed by the third
stringers. The visiting outfit uses.
the Notre Dame offensive system
and the Blue and White will be up
against Knute Rockne's shift for
the first tune this season. All men
who saw action Saturday came out
of the tilt in good shape.
With quarterback phne Pat
rick mixing his plays to perfection
against a bewildered Temple de-
fense, the Lions used their unre.-
sistable off-tackle thrusts and de
ceptive reverse runs to pile up a
three touchdown margin over the
Owls and came close 'to scoring
three other times.
State's brilliant 'forward wall, in
the meantime, stopped the opp'on
ent's running offensive and kept
the Quaker City team in its own
backyard except for a temporary
threat in the second period.
Chuck Peters, Pepper Petrella
and Len Krouse paced the attack
which netted six-pointers in the
first, second and fourth periods.
The first tally came on an eight-
yard romp ' off right tackle by
Peters. The other touchdowns were
by Petrella a .dazzling
35-Yard run and. a five yard slash
through the line.
Temple's ace passer, Andy Tom
asic, gave the State fans a few un
easy moments in the first half with
his accurate tosses but the Blue
and White secondary stopped the
Owls' aerial barrage with several
interceptions in . the .final two
quarters.

Chances 'Slight'
For Armory Grant
The cost of the proposed new
College armory has been estimated
by the WPA at $1,800,000 but
chances for having the request ap
proved are "very slight," Rep.
James E. Van Zandt told the Daily
Collegian yesterday.
The' reason for this, he explain
ed, is that only $25,000,000 has
been allotted as a defense fund
and there are many things that
must be done with this appropri
ation.
?Y. v ::
;:i,~^..
He suggested that a more likely
way of having the armory built
would be to have it sponsored by
the state as a regular WPA pro
ject. Representative Van Zandt
seemed of the opinion that in this
way the usual building value re
striction would be removed be
cause of "the national defense as
pect of the construction."
Plans for the erection of a new
armory were disclosed about two
weeks ago by Col. Ambrose R.
Emery, head of the College ROTC
unit. If built according to present
plans, he said, the armory would
be approximately twice the size
_of Rec Hall and Would be one of
the largest college armories in the
country.
Colonel Emery said that the new
armory could be used for "innum
erable College activities and as
semblies" when not being used by
the ROTC department.

Artur Rodzinski Conducts
Performance, March 11
Announcement that the Cleve
land Orchestra under the baton of
Dr. Artur Rodzinski has been
bOoked for its second Artists'
Course Series concert was made
yesterday by Dr. Carl E. Mar
quardt, committee chairman. The
orchestra, entering its twenty
third season, will appear here on
Monday evening, March 17 in
Schwab Auditorium.
Offering twenty-two years of ex
perience, the Cleveland Orchestra
is prepared to support the effort of
the Course committee to equal or
excel the performances of last
year. Dr. Artur Rodzinski, now in
his eighth year as conductor, has a
responsive and well-drilled orch
estra of eighty-two virtuosos.
-In its tours the orchestra has
played 856 concerts in 25 states
and covered North America from
Kansas City to Bangor, Maine,
from Ottawa, Canada, to Havana,
Cuba.
Only. two conductors have been.
in charge of the orchestra since
its founding. Nicholai Sokoloff
served as conductor from 1918 to
1933 and was succeeded by Artur
Rodzinski.
Rodzinski's seven years as direc
tor have placed the Cleveland Or
chestra among the handful of the
finest musical institutions in this
country. Not only for the perfec
tion of its performances,
.but for
the scope and distinction of its
repertory- has it won such. a high.
place.
When the orchestra played in.
Carnegie Hall last season, Olin
Downes of the New York Times
wrote enthusiastically of the per
formance: "We owe to liodzinski
one of the most interesting orch
estral concerts of the season in this
city and the exciting realization
of the waxing powers of a re
markable conductor."
