By turning back Clemson, the Gamecocks broke a string of eight consecutive state college wins for the overgrown felines and shoved them, from undisputed possession of first place, into second position on the ladder. Furman's Hurricane, after a rather mild beginning, gathered force as the season drew to a close and advanced from sixth place on the state ladder to the third rung with an even per centage of .500 for the season. Erskine, .with a team that proved a trouble spot for state leaders frpm the very beginning, experienced a little hard luck during the latter stages of the campaign and finished in fourth position after having occupied second and third places for the greater part of the season. Newberry, with a ball club that played alternately good and bad base ball, ended in a tie for fourth place with Erskine's Seceders, while Wof ford and Presbyterian College finished in a deadlock for the next position on the ladder. Citadel, with a team that started off good but closed the season with a string of six consecutive defeats, in cluding the two much talked about affairs with Clemson, dropped from third place three weeks ago into the cellar with only three wins out of eleven games played. v.
