KING BASEBALL.
SOON CROWN r
AT UNI VERSITY
HAVE GOOD PROSPECTS
Pitching Staff Rather Slim But
Material Is Abundant for
Other Positions
With the first touch of balmny wea
ther, mits and gloves appear as if by
magic and the steady thud of horsehide
against horsehide is heard. Football is
long gone and the games have been
won and lost over again in the radiator
league. Basketball is in the last stages
and the cinder tracks have their sur
face bitten by the sharp spikes of the
runners.
Talk,, turns with thought, and the
question arises as to the baseball pros
pects at Carolina for the next season.
Material seems to be abundant in every
line except moundsmen, and that has
been a weak spot on the Carolina Var
sity for the last four years. "Lefty"
Godshall and "Tiny" Reaves seem to
be two of our best bets-Godshall be
ing on the freshman squad last year
and Reaves taking his turn in the box
for the varsity. "Big" Riggins, also
a left hander, is fast picking up and
th the experience on th" rat teani
and practice during the summer should
be able to take his place. "Foggy" May,
from Prosperity, who did not play
freshman ball last year, but was a
star at Wofford Fitting School for two
years, will probably be out. "Foggy"
played,amateur ball during the sum
nier and had several wins chalked up.
Catchers there will be in a plenty,
with "Toots" Causey, "Pete" Jackson,
"Red" Swink and Sammie Burke. All
these men have had experience.
First base will be also filled well,
with Bill Rogers, "Red' Adams, and
Riggins. Second base will go to either
Miller or Lamar. Swink, Murphy and
Farr will probably cavort around short
stop and Bill Jeffords and "Slugger"
Wimberly will hold down the torrid
corner.
In the outfield, the balls will have
little chance to find a clear space with
such fly-chasers as "Buddy" Milling,
Youngblood, Burns, Mims Hall, Pos
ton, Shelton, Salley, and others who
the writer cannot recall at the moment.
The only question now coming up
that troubles the candidates is whether
the athletic field will be in condit)n
by the time Coach Bocock issues the
initial call for the diamondites.

shots in the state and he strutted his
spiecialty against Florida Friday.
For the 'Gators Serra was the bright
light. Serra played a hard fast gamie
and absorbed punishment as a sponge
absorbs water. Once lie wvas hurled
against a piano that was at one end
of the floor and knocked cold but
gamely came back for more. On sev
eral occasions he hit the floor in some
of the rough scrimimages but he always
got tip smiling. Brown, who took W'al
ker's place wh'len that gentleman suf
fered a broken niose was the high
scorer of the night. Th'e big center
rang upl somie beaut iftul shots fromi a
dlistance.
The game was rather slow at first
but after a few miinutes of slow~ play
anid even scoring the Bird machine
struck its stride and began to leave
F'loridla in the rear. At the end( of the
first half the score was 23 to 10 for
the Gamecocks. The 'Gators came
back strong in the second half to score
twelve points and nearly crept tup to
even the score but timely shots by
Ilolcombe, Rogers, and Fair kept the
IBirds out in front.
The ganie was one of thle roughest
ever witniessed in the Carolina gymi.
at times it resembled an indoor foot -
hall game. Th'le Gamecocks seemedc( to
have enough energy in the secondl half
to keep the lead.

Life Saving Courses
Given by Red Cross
At Pacific Mills Court-Mr. Van
Meter Can Secure Dates
For Tryouts
Any Carolina student who wishes to
get in and swim now or improve his
life saving rating will have the chance
next week when .he tests will be held
at 3:30 and 7:310 at the Pacific mills
community building. The course is
open to any who have passed the sen
ior life saving tests. When the extra
requirements are met the person will
be promoted to an examiner. David J.
Yates will conduct the examination,
and Carolina students should see Mr.
Van Metre at the gym and arrange an
appointment.
Following are some remarks by one
of the men who has been "through the
mill".
"Swimmers who qualify as Red
Cross Saving ECxaminer's at the Insti
tute which is to be conducted by the
local chapter of the American Red
Cross during the week of February
22nd, have to pass tests that make
Leander's famous swin across the Hell
spont with his armour on like a small
town act.
"Although, in this (lay of radio,
chewing gum, and one mian cars, there
is-no armour to impede the prospective
life saver, he must swim to deep water,
take off the prosaic garments of to
day and then swim 100 yards.
If he lives through this he must
swim somie di-tance and recover three
times an object which is thrown to the
bottom, and recover once a ten pound
weight. If the contestant is still able
to wiggle he must go through the four
"carries" by which water victims are
carried to shore.
"Surviving this, the instructor, as
sumnes the part of a drowning person
and makes, in turn, all the ferocious
deadly grips. which only a trained per
son knows how to break and success
fully carry the man to safety. Then
on the sidelines an examination in the
prone pressure method of resuscitition
and other important phases of Life
Saving work will be given."
