ir Carolina -Furm Contest To Be Held At 3 O'clock--Coach Cothran's Men Will be Ready WOFFORD OVERWHELMED Gamecocks Win From Terriers By Large Score of 87 to 36 Tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock Coach Cothran will lead the Carolina track men upon Davis field where they will engage the Furman team in bloody battle. Furman boasts of a competent track squad this year trained by the well known Coach Norman, formerly of B. M. I. In a meet with Clemson last week the purple team turned in some good times and took a number of first places. From these scores it is believed that their match with the Gamecock will be closely contest ted. The men of the Garnet and Black will be primed for the contest and rearing to go. Gamecocks Open Season. March 28 was the day of Carolina's first track meet of the year. Wofford succumbed under an overwhelming mass of points, 87 in number, while they only had 39 to stand them off. Dave Gaston was the high scorer of the meet having taken first place in three events; high jump and the hur dies. Kay of Wofford won the 100 yard dash over Hanahan and Boatwright by running it in 10.8 seconds, but both Hanahan and Boatwright dusted him in the 220 the time being 23.6 seconds. Gaston and Wilson tied for first in the high jump by clearing the bar at 5 feet 5 inches after the visitors, Ben nett and Pettigru had failed. Gaston did the high hurdles in 17 2-5 with Bennett and Wilson foliowing and the low hurdles in 27 4-5 with his team-mate, Berner, and Hall pursu ing. Delorme and Williamson preceded Latimer in the 440, time 56 1-5 seconds, but trailed Hutchison in the 880 who circled the track twice in 2 minutes 4 seconds. Bell of Wofford threw the shot further than Seideman and Brock when he pushed it 36.4 feet, but Brice throw ing the Discus sailed it 108.7 feet to win over Brock and Bennett while Seideman shot the javelin 142 feet. Carolina won thc broad jump when Beasley leaped 18.1 feet beating Petti gru and Eaddy. Hester and Osborne pole-vaultedl lbetter than Latimer of Wof ford going over the bar at 9 feet 8 inches. In the freshmian events Flynn took first place in the two dashes doing them in 10 2-5 and 23 seconds, Adams won the 440, and Brewer was best in the broad jump for Carolina. Huggins for Wofford got their only first in the mile run.

(Continued to Page Six) POR OF ALL SORT FRED MINSHALL, Editor an Track Meet j FURMANI DEFEATS UNIVERSITY NINE Baseball Team Blows Up in .the First Inning, Trying All Kinds of Errors CAROLINA, 13-P. C., 3 Gamecocks Will Engage Erskine And Maryland Teams Here Next Week FURMAN-16, CAROLINA-2. Just as "Rain" last month disturbed the staid old city of Columbia to its foundations, so a bountiful downpour of errors in the first inning of the baseball game last Wednesday with Furman University so upset the whole Carolina team that they were not able to regain their composure during the remaining eight innings. They kicked the old pill about in every conceivable manner and unjudged it six times in the first inning alone. The "tragedy of errors" commenced with the first man up for Furman who knocked a soaring fly which Reeves, substituting for Brabham in the cen ter garden, misjudged and allowed to sail over his head. Then the ball be gan to be booted around the infield and a steady stream of Hornets began to flow across the home plate. Fur man batters in this inning, when not rolling them out for the infielders to piggle with, were tapping queer little Texas Leaguers from the ends of their bats which fell just beyond the Caro lina players' reach. The painful beginning seemed to have a deadening effect on the (aro lina nine and they never recovered from its agonies sufficiently to over take the visitor's head. Batches of miscues cropped up in some of the following innings, but the situation was never in such sad st'ate as it was in the first. It would do no good to go into the sombre details of the eight remaining innings suffice it to say that they easi ly scored 16 points. Bennie Smith pitched consistent good baseball in the face of his unfortunate and depressing support. He kept a level head and kept that first inning from lasting until next football sea son by slheer goodl twirling. "Gob" Baron took up the burden in the fifth and received at first a little better backing. Eaddy, freshman star of last year, gave the best exhibition of the afternoon and knocked a fluke home run that gave the stands one of their few chances to jump up and shout. Dave Minnick turned in a good game for Laval and had easy sledding until the latter stages of the game, when Bocock's boys got in one or two heal thy smacks at his offering. He was well supportedl in his uneasy moments.

They had just the day before been awarded a perfectly nice game on the proverbial plat ter by P. C. and were off to a good start in collegiate company. Laval came along and picked up a cinch of a game from them and made their 1000 per cent. game average dwindle into a 500. Did you ever try to eat a lemon after chocolate candy? HOWEVER, it is true that everything on this mortal coil does not turn out for the worst in the end. It is a certainty that the Carolina boys now have all the errors of every possible variety out of their systems and so we believe they will .now settle down and mark up some better records in the games to come. THE FRESHMEN made their debut in college baseball this afternoon when they met the Clemson Cubs. Stoney has a well balanced nine with a cool infield, two sets of out fielders and a string of good pitch ers. The varsity will no doubt draft quite a few of these young men into their number next year. The rats believe they could have done better last Wednesday any way. PROF. BILL POOL, scrub faculty, took his pupils in the science of gymnastics to the hospitable old city of Chester tonight where they will give an exhibition spon sored by the Shriners there. He will offer the same program that caused so much favorable com ment when presented at the teach ers meeting here three weeks ago. P. A. WILSON, Carolina's shining star in her two recent tennis matches with Wofford and Furman, seems to be in for a good season. His Roy al Wizardry has improved his form over last year's and has shown no signs 'of weakening. He will be in some important meets this year and will have a good chance at certain crowns around this sec tion.

The first call for pitching duties of the season went to Carroll Reeves, diminutive right-hander from last years freshman squad, and right well he did in his initial appearance with the varsity. He toiled for seven innings and in that time let the Clinton team down with three hits besides striking out 11 of its baters. He retired at the beginning of the eighth to allow the veteran Babe Adams to have his little workout.
