ERSKINE DEFEATS U. S. C. IN SLOW GAME SATURDAY CHA+NDLER BRIGHT STAR Bob Stoddard Hit Hard Through out Game; Gamecocks Score By Julian Krawcheck A belated ninth rally failed to pro duce enough runs to overcome a com manding lead that Erskine had piled up on eleven hits and seven Carolina errors, and the collegians from Due West romped to an easy win over the Roosters here Saturday, six to three. The two high lights of an otherwise listless and one sided game were Richards' spectacular diving catch of Berkeley's drive in the eighth inning, robbing Erskine of three certain runs, and Chandler's circuit drive for the Gamecocks in the same frame, with none on base. Gettys, Erskine moundsman, hurled a masterful game for the Seceders, keeping eight Carolina hits well scattered, while R. Stoddard, Carolina pitcher, was hit hard throughout. Carolina drew first blood in the second inning on Stoddard's infield hit, a stolen base, free pass to first, and a double steal that brought Stod dard home. However, Erskine came back strong in the next frame, taking the lead with three runs tallied from three successive hits and a wild heave to second by Stoddard, Gamecock hurler. Erskine tallied one run in each the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings, bring ing up their total to six while Chand ler's teriffic drive into right field in the eigthth frame and Windus' run in the ninth brought the Rooster's total up to three. Hambright, Parkinson, Barkley and Gettys with two hits each, led the Seceder attack while Chandler, with a double and homer, and Windus with a double and two singles, were Caro lina's two big guns.

CAROLINA-PENITEN TIARY GAME Their heavy bats subdued for six innings the Carolina Freshmen base ball team cut loose in the latter stages of the game to completely annihiliate the Caged Tigers Saturday afternoon 14-5. Pitchers on both teams proved fairly ineffective. The Biddies won by virtue of superior hitting power, 19 hits being gathered off the peni tentiary hurler. An array of material was injected into the game by coach Stoney in an attempt to get the low-down on all.of the cnAidas Fowl Tips BAREFOOT DAY was a howling. success, or should we say a howl ing display of pain, when some firm planted hoof connected with a soft, downy pebble? SOAP SALES in Columbia jumped 50% after barefoot day and water meters rose in proportion. JUST A LITTLE OFF-TRACK in the two above tips but if going "barefooted" isn't sport, what is? 'Tis for the upper classmen any way. THE CAMPUS is now humming with activity as the tracksters hit on all six lungs in bursts of speed, the baseball team continues to win and lose games, and the racketeers enter their last week of tryouts. THE TENNIS MEET with Wof ford, scheduled for last Thursday, was called off when Jupiter Plu vius handed out rain checks and demanded that all concerned wait for fair weather. NEXT TIME the Gamecocks get on a batting spree like that of last Tuesday, send for a major league scout to sign up the whole bunch. AN EX-GAMECOCK, Billy LaMar, ace-high second sacker, has gone to Salisbury with all the earmarks of being a permanent fixture on the keystone sack. THE TENNIS TEAM goes on an up-state trip on April 25. Clem son, Furman and Wofford being in the itinerary. EITHER THE PENITENTIARY TEAM is exceedingly weak or the Biddies have a budding Yankee Juggernaut. The Chicks sent the penhurler's offerings to all cor ners of the lot in the game Satur day. BUDDY LAVAL looks like the proverbial chip off the old block in resemblance to the hard hitting Billy of former years. CAROLINA'S ENTRIES in the Tech relays didn't ride 275 miles for naught. They succeeded in hauling down a second and third place. THE GAMECOCKS BOBBLED themselves out of a good baseball game Saturday afternoon. There are times when the best of teams hit a slump and sink to the depths. Carolina experienced such a situa tion when the infield made six costly errors coupled with poor base-running by the whole team and handed the game to Erskine with their best regards. First Burgar: "Come on! Let's figure up and see how much we made on this haul." His Pal: "Shucksl I'm tired. Let's wait and look in the morning paper." He: "Do you really think there is danger in kissing?" She: "Wait 'till I go listen and see if papa is asleep or not." The part of the auto that causes more accidents than any other is the nut that holds the steering wheel. The star of the game was Laval, son of the famous Billy, who ac cepted 10 chances on third base with only one bobble. Out of five times at the bat he got a home run and a double. Harley socked the ball for four clean bingles to top the hites. By 0. D. BLACK FINALS OF INTRA. MURAL GAMES S. A. E.

Several times lately members of the faculty, wishing to play tennis, have found this court occupied by students. These trespasses have been a source of embarrassment as the professors did not wish to rudely break up the games going on by requesting the students to leave the court, but still wished to play. The attention of the students is therefore courteously directed to this rule in the hope that they will discontinue playing on this court as soon as faculty members ap pear attired for tennis. Biggs: "How does your Mother-in law stand the heat?" Jiggs: "I don't know; she's only been dead two days." "Daddy, why is that man running up and down the smoking car with his mouth open?"
