BRIGH. VISITORS SCORE DOUBLE VICTORY IN TRACK MEET P. C. Varsity And Freshmen Win Over Birds And Biddies Heavy rains fell throughout the dual track meet between Carolina and Presbyterian College varsity and freshman teams on Melton Field Saturday afternoon, but the cindermen went through with it in fine style and a wet score board revealed a complete victory for the visitors, their varsity copping 76Va to 49*4 and their freshmen, 63 to 61. The varsity dashes were featured by the speeding feet of Denucy of Carolina and Ritchie and Green of P. C. Ritchie placed first both in the 100yard and the 220-yard dashes, while Ketchin romped far ahead of the field in the 440-yard dash. FIRST FOR CAROLINA Collins, P. C., and Cardwell, Carolina, finished first and second in the one-mile run, and Abrams, P. C., and Buie, Carolina, came in first and second in the two-mile jaunt. Chapin of P. C. stood out with tow first places in the hurdles, while Kennedy and Bostick counted for a couple of seconds in the hurdles. Hughey, in the shot put, Brown, in the pole vault, Kennedy, in the javelin and high jump, all took first place for Carolina. The freshmen of both colleges performed well, it being Carolina's first competition in the freshman track circles of the state. 1J.S. o. Birds Play Ge( On Friday VISITING ARTIST NOW AT CANTEEN Gamecocks Will Play Georgia Tech After Series Of Victories With two clear cut victories over the Erskine Seceders and one sound threshing administered to the Presbyterian Blue Stockings in the first two weeks of college competition the Gamecocks are setting down for a few afternoons of rigid training this week in anticipation of a harder struggle against the Georgia Tech baseball team here Friday and Saturday. Coach Billy Laval sent the Birds against Columbia Saturday afternoon and although they came out of the game with a slight spot on their record, their showing against the Comers was particularly good. Bill Brigham held the Columbians to two singles and showed a form that will qualify him for a regular turn on the mound with the veteran Stoddard. TECH STRONG It is understood that the Tech outfit will bring along plenty of trouble from Atlanta and it will require the best baseball that the Gamecocks can muster to silence the reputed heavy Yellow Jacket attack. I licks, sophomore catcher, started the Columbia game in the place of Captain Smith, but they divided the time behind the bat and it is uncertain which one will start the Georgia Tech game. Stoddard will most likely get the call to the slab in the Friday game, and the rest of the team will line up as usual. U.8.O. DuPrc WiiTc JC.

Tenement 20, king of the 1929 tourney, marched through all opposition in the pre-tournament games and threatened to take the laurels for another year but Shandon stepped up in the final round and carried the pennant to the suburbs of Columbia with a display of basketball that would make any college team take out its pencil and notebook. FINALS HOT Eight teams were selected out of the numerous entrants in the tourna-. ment when about three weeks of competition had disclosed the best outfits. These eight were paired off for the final rounds last week by Jack Crawford, supervisor of the tournament. T he results of Monday night's quarter-finals were: Tenement 22, 19, Sigma Alpha Ivpsilon, 21; Tenement 20, 42, Elmwood, 12; Kismet club, 19 Phi Sigma Kappa, 0; Shandon, 21, Alpha Tau Omega, 8. I lie line-ups of the final game were as follows: Shandon (22) Tenement 20 (17) Bent ley JV1,an F Glenn Moroso C Albercrombie J:ttcrs G Green o)St ': G Morgan Substitutes for Shandon were Collins and McCravy. Substitutes for I enement 20 were Wilson and Creech.

Like tigers out of their cage the girls ran rampant over the court and delighted the fans with frequent spurts of scoreless basketball, however, the two defenses were working with precision and it was with difficulty that either team passed to a scoring position. TABER TALLIES Taber for Tri-Delta did the bulk of the scoring with five field goals to her credit while her teammate, Coleman, J., Hashed brilliantly at running guard and frequently dribbled far into the territory of Chi Omega. She showed particular promise in this department of the boy's game. For Chi Omega, Hartncss scored all ot her team's points with one field goal and one foul shot. Her foul was the only one of the game that was turned into a point. All other scoring was by the field goal route. Ravenel, of Chi Omega, and Coleman, L., of Delta Delta Delta were outstanding on the defenses of the two teams. Both lined up at guard po- ' sitions.

Those Gamecocks are .. clearly on the march to a state base- ( ball crown. In fact, all that will keep the Birds c out of a strong bid for Southern con- ^ ference honors is a schedule. It is a j, pitiable condition that such a team as jj Coach Billy Laval has developed must a confine its potential strength wholly u to Palmetto nines. Two games with Georgia Tech and one each with North Carolina, Duke, and Davidson comprise South Caro- *lina's only out-of-thc-state opposition, and the game with North Carolina, f Duke, and Georgia Tech arc the only one that will give the Gamecocks any ^ recognition in the conference. II. B.C. VAUGHAN LEADS BATTERS ^ Some of the lusty batsmen of the Gamecock firing line have not come into their own at this early stage of the summer and others have been hitting at a fast clip, but soon the per- ^ centages will settle down and strike an average for the season.

A home run by Ed Sikes on his first trip to the plate accounted for Carolina's only tally. It was a long, high drive that soared over the centerfielder and rolled to the fence. After this first long hit, however, the Gamecocks could touch Coltrane only for three scattered bingles and they were never able to threaten the Comers' three run advantage. FIELDING GOOD The game continued through six innings in spite of the heavy downpour and except for Carolina's two errors in the first inning, the fielding of either team was not affected by the rainfall. Carolina trounced the Blue Stockings of Presbyterian College on Melton field Friday afternoon by the overwhelming score of 9 to 0.
