BASEBALL MEN ASSEMBLED FOR FIRST PRACTICE Bill Rogers Shifted to Outfield Windus on First Base--Gross Playing Shortstop TEAM NOW LOOKING GOOD Godshall, Scott, Stoddard, Saun ders and Reaves Are Best Pitching Bets Bill Rogers called the first baseball practice last Saturday afternoon. All elig'ble old men are out and there the several good prospects from last year's freshman ranks. Wednesday had originally been nam ed as the opening day, but cold weather would not permit and the date was set for later. Bocock has the making's of a good, reliable nine. The pitching staff Is relat'vely strong. "Lefty" Goodshall, Scott, Stoddard, Saunders, and Reaves will bear the brunt of the hurling. God sfiall broke into the limelight as a freshman (luring the 1925 season, when substituting as a varsity pitcher in a game w'th the Columbia Comers. The varsity pitchers had been pounded to pieces. The Union boy entered the fra cas before the seventh inning was up and held the professionals hitless for the remainder of the game. He dupli cated this feat in a second contest with the same team. Last year lie was the mainstay of the varsity twirling staff. Scott and Reaves are both veteran hurlers with fine records. Stoddard and Saunders were on the freshman team last season. There are other ien of promise, who are out as pitchers. Right riow it is pretty much of an enigma as to who wIll do the catching Guy Tyler and Red Swink will fight it out, and possibly will alternate during the season. There are two outstand in candidates for the honor of playing the in'tial sack. It is Bill Rogers', reg ular hangout, but it may be that Bill is to be shifted to one of the outer gardens, and that Mike Windus will be alloted the first base position. The whole infield seems to be func Coning well. Billy Lamar will likely get the call tt the keystone bag, Nolan and Saim Burke on short, and "Jay" Gross or Bob Wimberly in the torrid corner. Jim Farr is almost certain to get the call for one of the outfield places. At this writing it seems likely that Farr will take left field. Chandler the cen ter garden, and Rogers will play right field. Sally is bound to come in some where however, as are Shelton and Mc .lrath. -U.S.C.

SPRING FOOTBALL is over and Mc Fadden is out with his track men every day. They have started to work in real earnest, and he ex pects to have a well-conditioned squad by the first of April. -U.S.c. UP UNTIL WEDNESDAY there were three undefeated teams left in the intra-mural basketball tussel. Ten ement 20's smooth working aggre gation el'minated the tenement 22 five. which won the cup last year. Tenement one managed to ease over a victory and held their rec ord. Tenement 25 continued its streak. - -U.s.c. THIS INTRA-MURAL tournament is a hot affair. Every game is bitter ly fought, and the quintet which comes through the entire ser'es without being whipped, is deserv ing of a bigger honor that a silver cup. -U.s.c. WASHINGTON AND IEE will drift southward toward the end of the month to meet the Birds in the first home baseball game of the season. The Generals marred Car olina's clean slate in the confer ence basketball coimpettion, and Carolina is going to do her best to even up things slightly when the time comes. -U.S.c. The freshman track team has suf fered the loss of two fine athletes since the end of the first term. Both these men were members of the - Pickens high school team last year. "Hi-Pocket" Adams is one of the men. He was one of the best middle distance runners in South Carol'na high school circles. The other man is Garret, who was high point scorer in the state school meet of 1925. -U.S.c. Coach Bocock had the boys play a little practice game Tuesday afternoon. The pitchers were being tapped rather frequently as they had orders not to ".put anything on the ball." Someone hit a fly to short right field. Bill Rogers and Billy 1.amar ran wildly after it and were in eiminent danger of coll'ding. "It's Bill's ball!" many of the players yelled. The ball dropped harmlessly to the ground without heing touched. The coach entered a caustic con Imlented. "Both of those fellows ar. named Bill." The men looked sheep ish. But "Mike" Windus saved them, this very satisfactory retort. "But I called one of 'ei \Villie." h.,. said. Now just wh'ch one did he mean --U.s C. Quattlebaum, for Spe'ar. Carolina: None.
