BALL TEAM HAS MISFORTUNE ON NORTHERN TRIP SNOW AND SLEET WINNERS 'j Come Back Home Today to Buck Clemson Saturday-and Furman Monday The Birds have been keeping at it consistently while the majority of the students have been enjoying the week of Easter (lances. Putting on the final polishe the Gamecocks hopped the rat tIer to Parris Island, stronghold of Uncle Sam's marines, for a two game setto. The Leathernecks could not do much with the Bird pitchers for the Gamecocks took both games of the series by a 3 to 0 and 6 to 5 score. Hav ing seen enough of the soldiers life the Bird tossers returned to Columbia to meet the Calvinists from Clinton but Jupiter Pluvius intervened and no game resulted. Leaving Columbia .he Birds tock up their journey to Raleigh where they took the - North Caroina State team down by a 12 to I score. University of 1 Richmond and Virginia were saved by rain and snow respectively. However, the inaction of the two days told on the play of the Garnet and Black when they met the University of North Ca rolina for the Tar Heels kicked over the dope bucket by downing the Birds 3 to 2. The Gamecocks will return to Co lumbia and begin their campaign for the state title to-morrow when they meet Clemson on the University field. The Carolina players seem to have one of the best teams that has sported the Garnet and B1-ck in a number of years. They can hit any kind of pitching and they field in an excellent manner. The pitching staff is coming through in great style, although it was thought to be the weak spot of the Gamecock ma chine this year. The weather man is 'I order ng warm weather for a while now and this should aid the hurlers materially. -USC Co-Eds Forsake Indoor - Pastimes to Try Outdoor Games SOME SWEAR OFF SWEETS i t Athletics for Girls Include Track, Folk Dancing, Tennis and Baseball The spring outdoor season for girls has begun with more interest and a greater number participating than has I been interested yet. There is some sport to please anyone who has any athletic inclination whatever. For the more aesthetic andl graceful (of coturse all of them are) there is folk dancing.

An exhibi tion will probably be put on later in the spring in connection with the boys gymt teamn.( Trennis seems to be the most popular sport on the spring curricultum.

FROSH TA CKLE BAPTISTS AND CLEMSON CUBS TEAM SHOWS UP WELL Windus, Nolan, Cooper, White, and Gross Take Care of Infield Jobs Coach Stoney has rounded his fore most baseball candidates into what ap pears to be a formidable aggregation. ''hey have been indulging in several practice games and ieave today to play the Furman Freshmen in Greenville and the Clemson yearlings at Clemson to morrow. At first base is cavorting Mike \Vin dus, a southpaw. \Vindus is a steady player who knows his job well. He is sure of the infield throws and he can swat the old apple right on the nose. In the practice game with the Southern Shops \Vednesday, \Vindus drove one to right field for the circuit. At second is Nolan, basket ball star and former Parker lIi player. No;an is a graceful fielder and as full of pep as a cheerleader. He handles the key stone sack like a leaguer and he can be counted upon to hit in the pinches. The shortstop position is a fight be tween Cooper and White. Both men are good fielders, but \Vhite is a heavier hitter. The hot corner is well filled by young Gross. Gross is one of the neatest play ers on the freshman squad and he looks good in action. He has a ppwerful arm and he is sure of the line drives that come his way. He is good with the stick also. It will not be much trouble for filling Captain Jeffords' shoes on the varsity next year if Gross returns to school. The hurling staff is replete with much good material. Stoddard looks to !e about the best one of them. He is steady at all times and has the making of a good boxman. McKnight works well and lie can he used in a number of games. Rogers has a worid of steam and if he can control it will be valuable. Sanders is another man who shows signs of be coming a star. The outer gardens are well taken care of by McGill, Allen, Chandler, Camp bell, McElrath. They are good infielders and their playing will, in all probability, he decided upon by their hitting. -USC TRACKERS MEET DA VIDSON TEAM IN NORTH STATE "ROOSTER" WORKING HARD Is Graduate of Davidson And Is Doubly Anxious to Take Heavy En'd of Score The Blird trackmen are hriming their spurs for a sharp match with Davidson tomorrow in the Wildcat den. )uring the past few weeks the trackmen have met WVofford, P.C. andl North Carolina. The Terriers were no match for- the Birds as they were snowved uinder lby McIcFaddeIfs mleni. P.C. came ouit the winner over the Gamecocks aftei- trail ing for the greater part of the afternoon. The TCar Heels brought to Coltimbia one of the best track aggregations ever seen in action on Davis Field. They took inearly every event andl overwhelmedl the Gamecocks in a manner that left no argument. However the cinder path artists are dlue to make a god show in the WVild cat meet tomorrow. "Rooster" has been giving his men plenty' of wvork (luring the past wveek and lhe expects to have them in top form for the meet. It wvill he exceedingly interesting to watch the outcome of this meet as the C'arolina coach, McFadden, is a graduate of D)a vidlson andl it wvas there that lhe learnedl the greater part of his track knowledge. The following Saturday the Birdmeni will go to Greenville to meet their an cient rivals, Furman. and after that the state meet will he held in Clinton. -USC Bill Crollins. one of Carolina's pep l)iest cheerleaders, has been visiting in Columhia and( on the campus for th past week.
