Names Published
Some keen competition was evident
on Davis Field last week among the
men out for the Gamecock 1925 base
ball team, for Coach Branch Bocock,
free from his duties as basketball men
tor, was on hand to look over his
prospects. He was out every after
noon this week watching closely with
a pleased gleam in his eye the move
ments of the swarm of material flit
ting about in the field or cracking out
hard drives from the plate.
The week's practice began in a busi
ness-like manner. The men began a
stiff program of training which will
be continued until they are in good
condition. The first game is about
three weeks off and by that time the
coaching staff hopes to have their
fly-swatters going good.
This week also brought forth all the
candidates who have intentions of go
ing out for the team. The complete
list of varsity candidates, given out
Wednesday by Jumbo Grambling, man
ager, is as follows:
Benny Smith, Si Seideman, F. C.

The freshmen hosts have also turn
ed out and Burnett Stoney, freshman
coach, is putting the several teams

material and those who have watched

of the opinion that the University will

COACHES BOCOCK AND STONEY
this week took their pruning shears
in hand and commenced their du
ties of trimming down the large
squad of baseball candidates. The
varsity took a large cut first and
Stoney released all save 30 from
his host of "rats."
ALTHOUGH FRESHMEN are usual
ly fond of cuts and indulge in them
frequently this seems the most un
kind of all for it only means that
they must start back to taking
gym.
SPEAKING OF STONEY'S BOYS,
their ranks contain some classy and
interesting ball players. Watch out
for some dope about them next
week.
Ir IS the track team's intention to let
the student body know that they
will be represented by a cracker
jack bunch of cinder-path artists
and to do this they want you to
come tomorrow and watch their
first time tryout.
COACH BOCOCK is well pleased with
the results obtained from spring
football training. Not as much
was done as had been expected but
he has a "line on" many of the
players and something definite to
work on for next season.
CAROLINA will be visited this week
by four of the best high school
basketball teams in the state from
Parker, Charleston, Florence and
Simpsonville high schools. Some
of the players are future Carolina
men and women and the school
deems it a privilege to have them
play on her court.
THE FIRST LAP of the tennis eli
mhination series will end Saturday
when all men out, but eight, will
be dropped from the comnpetition.
These men, will play for a few more
weeks and then the team will be
made from the first four menct. On
ly two will play at the state meet.
IPLANS are rapidly being laid for put
ting out a co-ed track team. It
is just one more event in the in
creasing field of co-ed athletics.
The girls have a wealth of mater
ial and should be especially good
in the weights.
ILET MR. BELT. look to his laurels.
Mr. Van Metre announces that he
will hold a men's handball tourney
in May, in both singles and dou
bles. Long piay ping-pong and
handball prosper; hand in hand.
CAROLINA'S baseball team will not
suffer this season from any lack of
material from aH indications that
can be gathered at this time. Last
year it was necessary to make a
few changes in the lineup and let
certain men play positions to which
they were unaccustomed on account
of the scarcity of candidates. But
this time with small armies out for
the different places the competition
will be keener. The poys will have
to fight for places and then perhaps
fight in hold them.

CO-ED TRACK TEAM
PLANS GOOD YEAR
Many Girls Out For Their First
Tryout On Last
Thursday
LUCILE GODBOLD IS COACH
Several Meets Expected - Miss
Irene Richardson
Reports
Thursday afternoon about fifty co
eds met at the gymnasium for the
first practice of the Pullets track team.
The plans for the season are at
present all tentative and the only
thing that seems definitely ddecided is
that there will be a team. At present
track practice takes the place of co
ed gym work and all women students
who are not out for swimming have
to report to the track coach.
At present, the girls will have tol
be restricted to two practices a week
on account of crowded conditions but
as their new field is being fixed in
front of the infirmary they can soon
have everyday training.
No meets have been scheduled so
far but several are in view, Mr. Van
Metre, physical director, hopes to hold
a state meet here and invite as many
teams from girl's schools as can come.
It is also hoped that a city meet can be
arranged again this year. It was not
held last year but Carolina entered
in 1923. Even if these are not forth
coming Miss Godbold, coach, says that
the team .will enter the telegraphic
meets held over the country every year.
the members of the teams compete
among themselves at home, she says,
and wire the time or score in where
the records are announced. This
omnes between the fifteenth of April
nd the fifteenth of May.
"Little is known of the material at
this time," said Miss Godbold, her
;elf a well known athlete and holder
>f several Olympic records, "but I
>elieve that most of it will come from
he freshman class. The co-eds have
iever been able to do much in this
vork but the prospects are brighter
his year."
One of the members of the squad
'rom whom much is expected is Miss
[rene Richardson of Winnboro, who
iolds national high school records in
iurdles and sprints. M-iss Richardson
ays that every year she betters all
der previous marks and so she is ex
)ectedl to have an excellent season this
year.
