CAROLINA NINE
TO MEET MD. U.
AT EARLYDATE
Season to Open With Southern
Conference Opponent on
Davis Field
PROSPECTS SEEM BRIGHT
March winds are still blowing, but
April's showers will soon appear, and
with them the bang of bats will be heard
on Davis field when the Carolina base
ball nine meets the University of Mary
land in the opening game with a South
ern Conference opponent.
Speculations can, and have already
been made, as to the dope for the success
of the gamecocks this Season. At any
rate the prospects seen bright, as evi
denced by the fast play they are showing.
Tihe boots and fumbles that were so
evident at the first of the season are
less frequent now, and each individual
seems surer in hand,ing his chances.
Almost every man on the team can
hit and run well, and great improvement
has been shown over last year. The
only players missing from last year are
Noian, Rogers and Burke. Rogers and
Noan were infielders and their vacancies
serve as the biggest pro'lem for the
coaches. However, Red Adams and
Tom Chandler are performing well in
the fast play. Adams who was out of
school last year, was on the varsity year
before ast, playing outfield. He batted
for an average of nearly 400 and in
fielded well. He is showing up even
better this year. Chandler is an out
fielder also, but looks good in the in
field. Bob \Vimberiy, Monk Clark. Bill
Cooper, and M\lclrath, are playing nice
ball iii the infield.
Sailey seems to have cinched one of
the outfield positions, and is batting
equally as well, or better than last year.
Jim Farr will likely be a regular with
one man trying on. for the infield. prob
ably playing the other position.
Mike Winidus will probably ho.d down
his old place at first base, although I'ower
Rogers slipped over to trouble him one ,r
two days. Mike is hitting them sound
on the head and his heavy hitting should
be a great asset to the team, as last year.
Billy L.amar has little compe ition at
second base and shouid again be the
infielding star, as last year.
Red Swink is g(oing good behird the
ha , but is being given a hot time 'y
Power Rogers. Both are batting well,
so there should continue mome keen com
petition at -his position. "Duck" Young,
Barney Smith and Frank Pita are also
working hard.
PaI Ritch is slIIwinlg tip unusual,.
well amontg the pitchers. ando his fas
balls are worryivg the batters. Riggini..
athioug.h mighity wikli, is se tulig down
anel showing to gooid advanitage. Bob
Stoddard can Ilikelv be c on ced on to
j)i ch his steady game thfat kept the
Gamiecocks ini steady runming last year.
Lefty Godshmal I, Scott, and H ugh Stodl
dard, are improving and each one will
probably see plenty of service.

WITH THE close of spring football,
the football players will have pass
ed through a most gruelling sea
son. Coach Lavai's cohorts have
already passed the most strenuous
training for their hard schedule
next year, and when the whistle
blows next season for the openiig
gaine with the Erskine Seceders.
the Gamecock gridsters should be
a well trained eleven. thoroughly
familiar with the famous "I.aval
Systecm."

SPRING lOOTIIALL has developed
several new players that have
hitherto been obscured on the
Carolina gridiron. Casey Derrick
has been playing an excellent game
at tackle and looks as though he
can be counted on to deliver th
goods when next September blows
aronld. There are others including
Mayfield. Boineau .1hand, Leardo
and imany more -who are bright
prosp cts.
THEl FIRST tryouts in track were
given Monday and a surprisin.g
showing was made generally in the
various events. There are many
more men out this year than last.

Although handicapeed by "Spring"
foot-!all practice and boxing, the in.ra
mural basket-ball season has about
reached the ciose of a very successful
season. Beginning with fourteen teams,
less than was first expected, the season
got into full swing at times exhibiting
soic excellent playing by the members of
those teams that did enter. Only in the
rarest of instances did a team drop by
he waylside, th majority sticking to the
end.
To wind up the season Mr. Crawford
has planned a big tournament to be held
inl the field-house on Vednesdav and
Thursday nights, March 28 and 29, be
ginning at 8 o'clock. This tournamen
is to he held just like the Southern Con

Coach Laval Seems
Pleased With Practice
Says Men Are Learning Intri
cate New System
Well
Spring football is to rim through
two more weeks yet. Coach Laval
thinks his men have done well but will
require a little more time to make sure
that they are thoroughly familiar with
the new system. He has expressed his
desire that they will be ready to take
l) next season. right where they
leave off at the close of the spring per
iod.
It seems fairly well established that
Wimebrly, Beall, Captain Cooper,
Zobel, Boineau, Lidens, .1oyner, Ma
thenyN and Blount will all be in a fair
way to see plenty of service in the
backfield next year, with Wimberly,
Beall, Zobel and Captain Vdoper being
the most dependables.
In the line there are a number of
