CLEMSON LOSES
TO GAMECOCKS
Hugh Stoddard Holds Mound for
Nine Innings
SENIORS END CAREERS
Game Clinches State Champion
ship for Carolina Birds
By Julian Krawchek
Ray Edwards relieved Hugh Stod
dard in the ninth inning of the game
with Clemson here last Thursday and
fanned three Tiger batsmen in one
two-three order to halt a threatening
Clemson rally and clinch the game for
South Carolina, 8 to 6.
The Lavaliers entered the final
frame with a commanding five run
lead only to see Stoddard, who had
pitched a steady game previously,
weaken and allow the Bengals to
shove over three runs and come with
in hailing distance of the Birds, when
Edwards came to the rescue, hitched
up his trousers, and checked the en
larged felines then and there.
Five Carolina seniors, Chandler,
Windus, R. Stoddard, White, and
Cooper, attached a fitting climax to
their college athletic careers by taking
a big hand in the defeat of their old
rival Clemson, and by giving Carolina
a joint claim on a title that hasn't
traveled Carolina way for years.
Happy Edens for Carolina and Ma
gill for Clemson, hit for the circuit,
Edens' blow coming in the sixth with
one man on base, while Magill circled
the bases in the seventh unaccom
panied by the footsteps of any other
Bengal immediately in the van.
Score by innings:
Clemson ................000 200 103-6 8 4
Carolina ................100 205 000-8 12 1
Batteries: Query, Chamblee, and
McMillan, Pearman for Clemson.

FIVE WRESTLERS

ture Match of Evening
TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS
Hughey, Fowles, Rizzolo, Cook,
and Anderson Win Various
Titles
Five bone crushing Carolina gentle
men displayed cracking good form in
the finals of the annual wrestling
tournament last Monday afternoon at
the University gymnasium to fight
their way to victory over five other
eqjually as eager but not (quite as
hardy young men.
Hughey, lightheavy; Fowles, mid
dleweight; Rizzolo, welterweight;
Cook, lightweight; atnd Anderson,
featherweight, are the aforementioned
young exponents of the manly art of
catch-as-catch-can grappling that were
able to toss asidle all opposition andl
finally come to an understanding with
their adversaries that they wvere the
one~ entitled to wear the wrestling
crowns in their respective e!asses at
Carolina for at least one year, or until
another tournament comes off.
Fowles andl Gettys furnished the
feature match of the afternoon, these
twvo men grappling for the excltusive
right to bear the mi(ddleweight crown.
Fowles, a Coltumbia boy, won over
Gettys by taking two straight falls,
but the loser fought back gamely and
gave the title winner plenty to think
about before their little affair was
ended.

m of the matches, thec winners and
runner-rips in each class were pre

Fowl Tips
WHATEVER DISPOSITION is
finally made of the mythical state
baseball championship, and we
doubt seriously if it will ever be
settled to the satisfaction of both
sides, Clemson's claim to the pur
ple necklace or whatever prize is
awarded to the winner, is blocked
by one insurmountable obstacle
that the Jungle Beasts can't possi
bly get around.
T H I S LITTLE OBSTACLE,
friends and readers, is none other
than the fact that the Gamecocks
hold two clean cut, decisive wins
over the Clemson aggregation. So
long as the Roosters have this
little epithet to hurl into the faces
of the Clemsonites, that worthy
institution with all its boards of
baseball strategy, won't have the
heart to raise too large a howl
about winning anything.
CAROLINA UNDOUBTEDLY,
needs a whole lot of things, some
of which she will have and some
of which she ought to have, but
we seriously doubt if there are
three things that she could use to
better advantage than a swimming
pool, a new chapel, and a press
bureau.
AS LONG AS WE HOPE to offer
collegiate competition in swim
ming, we've got to furnish our
representatives with a place to
perform in. You know it wouldn't
look exactly correct to see the
acquatic sons of old Carolina
diving around in Melton Field or
in the University Field House for
'hat matter. 4
IT IS NEITHER the job or the de
sire of this department to mix in
affairs other than those in the
sports realm, yet we can't help
but take note of the need of a
new chapel at Carolina. With a
student body rapidly approaching
the two thousand mark, Carolina
today, hasn't a single building to
accommodate that many people
other than the field house, and we
certainly built that structure for
other purposes than for use as a
chapel.
PROBABLY HOWEVER, t h e
greatest thing that this institution
needs right now is a wide awake
news bureau. Other schools wvith
enrollment smaller than ours, and
with athletic teams and equip
ment inferior to ours, receive
reams of publicity through their
news bureaus while Carolina is
left in the lurch. How long is
this situation going to last any
way?
REGARDLESS OF WHAT DIF
FER ENCES in opinion there may
be between Carolina and Clemson
over the present b)aseb)all tangle,
it is the policy of this writer to
offer praise where praise is due,
so we are taking this opportunity
to heartily congratulate the Trigers
on the proposed construction of
their new field house which wvill
be erected in the near future to
vie with any in the South and the
best in the North and East.
AND WHILE WE ARE dishing
out platters of rose tinted compli
mnents, we might as well include
the winning of the S. I. A. A.
track tournament by Presbyterian
College's tracksters. T hi e y'r e
majoring in track over at the
Calvinist institution in Clinton and
the capture of a conference track
meet of any kind is indeed a 1)oon
to an institution in a state where
track wvas looked upon askance a

BARNEY SMITH NEW
BASEBALL CAPTAIN
Has Taken Active Part in Ath
letic Work of All Kinds
in Past
By Melvin Karesh
Barney Smith, brilliant catcher on
the Gamecock horschide brigade and
joint claimants for the state champion
ship for the past season, erstwhile
guard on the varsity gridiron aggrega
tion of last fall, and a junior in the
School of Education, has been elected
by his team mates to the captaincy
of the 1930 Carolina diamond workers.
Smith will be a worthwhile succes
sor to the retiring leader, Bob Stod
dard, and with two years of experience
on the varsity will be fully capable of
piloting the Gamecocks to further
heights in the realm of balls and
strikes.
The new captain hails from Ander
son where he took a prominent part
F I V E CAROLINA SENIORS,
Iike Windus, Bill Cooper, Lou
White, Bob Stoddard, and Chan
Chandler, played a big part in
turning back Clemson and giving
their Alma Mater a joint claim on
a title that she hadn't garnered for
years. They have attached a fit
ting climax to their college athletic
careers and this department goes
on record as' wishing them good
luck and an open road in what
ever vocation they choose to
enter.
