TWENTY-SIA FOR BASE Only Three Regulars Are Miss ing From Last Year's Team PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT Entire Pitching Staff is Back With Several Additional Players Twenty-six men reported for the first baseball practice Wednesday, and Coaches Laval and Stoney expressed themselves as being favorably impress ed with the material. Only three regu lars, Sam Burke, Bill Rogers and No lan, finished last year. So with the entire pitching staff back and a few additional twirlers and a number of aspiring players from last year's team, also Red Adams who led the batters year before last, Carolina should put out one of the best teams in the South ern conference. Captain Red Swink played ball all last summer, so he should be even bet ter this year than last. Billy Lamar will be back to hold down the key stone position, and Mike Windus who slugged the pill for a high average last year will be back on first. The short-stop and third base posi tions should be easily filled by sonic of the players coming up from the freshman team. Red Adams played out-field year before last, but he may be switched to the infield. Bill Cooper, Bob Wimberly, Salley and Chandler, all old timers, will be fighting it out for the out-field. Salley proved to be one of the most consis tent hitters on the Gamecock nine last year, Chandler had a bit of hard luck at the first of the season, fracturing his arm, but he should be in the thick of the fight this year. With Bod Stoddard, Scott, Godshall and Riggins out for the pitching staff, there should be little difficulty in shap ing a battery that can hold any of the best teams to few hits. The pitchers, first basemen, and catchers have been out for a week and are in nice shape to help with efficient batting practice. The following men are out for prac tice now and a few more are expected to be out within the next few days: Covington, Ritch, Salley, Faux, Por ter, White, Lamar, Chandler, Stod (lard, Smith, McElrath, Watson, Win dus, Adams, Rogers, Wimberly, Web ster, Fair, Sanders, Riggins, Carmich al, Young an Clark, Gym.

C., Wofford, Fur man, Clemson and Davidson are Scheduled Track practice is under way now and nearly all of last year's eligible men have reported, and a number from last year's freshman team. The track manager reports that there are fifty or more taking daily workouts for the freshman and varsity squads. This is probably the larbest number that has ever before been out for the sport. A training table has been provided for all those who wish to take advantage of it. Coach McFadden is hopeful of a much brighter season than last, and five regular meets have been schedul ed, also the state track meet at the close of the season at Clinton. P. C., Wofford and Clemson are to be met within the state. This is the first time in several years that the track men have met the Tigers. N. C. State and Davidson will be met in the Tar Heel State. N. C. State had one of the best teams in the south last year and sonic beautiful demon strations were given in the varioui events. Slim Carson did not return to school this year so someone will have to be found to throw the discus. Boyce is in school but is not out for track. Boyce broke the state record in the mile race last year. The schedule is as follows: March 31-Presbyterian College in Co lumbia. April 7-Wofford in Columbia. April 14-Furman in Greenville. April 21-Clemson in Columbia. April 28-Davidson in Davidson. May 1-State track meet at Clinton. Ky. Defeats Birds in S. I. C. Meet Holcombe, As Usual, Plays Re markable Game-Score 56 to 40 Carolina's hopes were blasted in the first game of the S. I. C. tournament, when they fell before the attack of the mighty Kentuckians, in a game featured by the frequent scoring of both teams, the finial score being 56 to 40. T1he game wvas a fast affair and the b)ark of the gun found the Gamecocks fighting as in the first of the contest, but they were unable to stem the tide of the powerful Kentucky offense. Buster Holcombe played a remark able game, covering thle floor in fine style, and sinking 17 points for the Birds. He proved more than a match for the fast Blue Grass center, and receivedl duie ap)plause from the large crowdl of nearly five thousand pleopile. McBlrayer, Jenkins.

V TT.\ PORI ERSKINE LEGETTE, Editor IINKPOT THREE MEN on Carolina's regular basketball team played their last game against Kentucky last Fri day night. These men are Captain Heinie Fair, Buster Holcombe, and Monk Clark. Each one did his part this year, and it is with regret that these faces, familiar for the past four seasons, will not represent the Garnet and Black basketball team again. - rNKPOT - BUSTER HOLCOMBE ended his basketball career at Carolina in a blaze of glory, his play in the Fur man, Clemson, and Kentucky games deserving unlimited praise. Horace Renegar, the Associated Press sports writer, rates him as one of the best centers seen in the S. I. C. tourney in years. -INKPO OME REAL baseball is promised this season by the coaches when the Gamecock nine opens the sea son with the University of Mary land. Interest is rapidly encreas ing, and the crowds that watch the practices are steadily growing. Come out and look 'em over! - INKPOT - TWO THOUSAND dollars are lost on baseball every year at Caro lina. The cause, of course, is due to the small attendance at the games. If the students would show a little more interest, and support the teai by attending the games, it would naturally arouse more interest from out side, causing an increase in gate receipts. - INKPOT ROOSTER McFADDEN has bright hopes for a sniart track team this year. as more than fifty men have reported for practice. The track schedule is announced this week, and it is certainly the best in sev eral years. The Clemson Tigers have been added and makePtheir appearance in Columbia. - INKPOT THE DUKE. boxers again proved too strong for the Gamecock battlers, but Pritchard nearly made the count the same as in the first en encounter, when he all but had the edge at the end of the third round of the heavy weight fight. -INKPOT EXTRA EFFORT is being made to produce some creditable cheers for next footb)all season. It seems assuredl that we will have a real football team. So let's get to gether and prodluce something that will help to support the team. Compose your yells or songs and sendl them in for considleration. - INKPOT - ''THE BIRDS gridsters were given their first real training test this afternoon wvhen the first and sec ondl teams met in a regular foot ball game. The (drive that was shown this afternoon certainly gave evidlence of a powerful eleven for next year. - INKO - TH-ERE ARE no slackers on the football field. Tf the players are not out regularly, then they dlon't come out at all. That is Coach L,aval's method. - INKOT TNTRA-MURAL, basketball has begun andl the first series of gamnes have already b)eenl played. The intra mural football games provedl to be (mqite a success, and undler Mr C'rawfordls instructions. baske'tbaill should prove equallyv as successful. - INKPOT - IBASKEITBALL4 is a thing of the past.

Two bouts were knockouts, one being technical. St. Armand took revenge on Craven who defeated him in the first en counter, and won the decision in a fast fight. Max of Duke again nosed out Phillips to win the judges decision in the 12l5 pound class. Doug Kinder and "Smitty" Smith who put up a scrappy affair before, started off in very much the same way again, but near the close of the first round Smith landed a lucky punch that brought Kinder down for the count of ten. Dick Pane again proved the better boxer for Carolina when he complete ly outclassed Warren of the Nicco tines, to win the decision. Charlie Gorman slugged Carper to keepshis clean record, and was award ed the decision. Gorman is the only man on the Carolina team who has won all three bouts, Pane not having participated in the first scrap, with Clemson. Drufus Griffin again proved not quite enough for Rankin and the Duke boxer won the decision. Fddie Pritchard stayed the three rounds yith Culp, the big two hundred pounder of the Niccotnes. Both bat :led on even terms for the first two rounds, and the last was so close that an extra round was required before any decision could be made. Pritch ard was exhausted, however, at the close of the third round and Culp won easily, the referee giving him a tech nical knockout. Johnson and Davis acted as judges, and Drenhan of N. C.
