_____ 1930^3 BOXING, TENNIS AND BASEBALL OUTSTANDING FROSH TEAMS GO GREAT v Varsity Eleven has Successful Year; Resume of Track, Basketball and Track Carolina closed a brilliant sports year last week with a 5-1 win over Clemson for the state baseball championship. Taking fifteen games and losing two, the Birds had a very successful season. They'rank high in the Southern Confe'r, ence standing with four wins and one defeat. They are the sole claimants of the State title with twelve State victories. This was the Birds' third consecutive title in State baseball. Going back to last fall, the Bird gridmen boast six wins in ten starts. With a bang-up 22-0 win over the Duke blue devils the Birds started off like wildfire. Duke then proceeded to win eight victories in national and southern conference competition with only their defeat by Carolina to make a perfect record. A slower win in a muddy field had been taken from Erskine 10-0. The first loss of the year came against the powerful Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to the tune of 45-0. The Birds regained their stride against the L,. S. U. Tigers here ancfr whipped the visitors, in an upset, 7-6. Then the bitterest game of the schedule went to Clemson before a record-breaking crowd at the state fair, 20-7. A &3-yard run by "Bru" Boineau featured the day. The following week Carolina took the Citadel Bulldogs into camp, 13-0 at Orangeburg. A g^me after the varsity game featured } when the Biddie eleven swamped the Bullpups, 60-10. Furman Purple Hurricane broke a three-year losing streak against the Lavaliers with a 14-0 win over the Garnet and Black. The visiting North Carolina State squad took a 19-0 trouncing from the Birds. Sewanee threw a scare into the Laval camp with a last minute rally, but Carolina came out with a 14-13 win over the ' Purple Tiger. The game was played before a great crowd of alumni and was the center of attraction to the visiting graduates. In the season's final at Columbus, Georgia, the Birds took their las^ thrashing, 25-0 with the fourth Tiger opponent of the season on the opposite bench, -the Auburn Felines. The footballers boast a southern conference record of four won and three lost. In the department of basketball the Birds had one of their poorest seasons in many years. Playing twenty-one games, they copped only two of the lot and finished last in the State race. The boxing season was successful with , a peppy, scrapping team and a tough schedule to go through. With two State wins and no losses, the Birds have a good f Bowen-Connatser Business University is a member of the National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools and its courses of study are . approved by the Bureau of Education, Washington, D.

Clemson's match was called off on account of meningitis quarantine. The Birds lost to North Carolina and Duke on a trip into the Tarheel State. V. M. I. came down to lick the Birds, 4-3, after losing the first three fights. N. C. State was the lone out-of-state victim by the score, 4-3.

Two record holders are on the team in Hughey and Bostick and much good material is coming up from this year's frosh squad. Bostick won second in the Southern Conference high jump.

Schafer Another error of journalism has come to the eyes of the Gamecock and it wishes to correct the statement that the Carolina baseball team had won 25 consecutive games without a loss. Carolina did win quite a few in a row last year but Iuirman won a game from them near the close of the 1930 season, marring the record. Carolina won thirteen straight this year before the Citadel Bulldogs stopped them, 8-7. With only Boineau, Porter and Edens graduating and a multitude of reserve material from this year's team coming in, the Birds should from all appearances come through with their fourth straight championship and if enough conference teams are met, the Southern Conference title. Of the reserve material Correll and Bill Jenkins are outstanding. Jenkins will add punch to the batting attack besides. From the frosh team of this year at least four men deserve mention for the team next year. Wolfe has already shown that he will bolster the hurling J staff and Barrentine, Hambright and f Robbins are exceptionally good, according to reports. The Carolina fans will see the Carolina gridmen in action five, times next fall. The varsity eleven meets Duke here the 26th of September, Clcmson at the fair October 22, Citadel at Orangeburg October 29, Funman on Melton field November 7 and North Carolina State here November 26. Georgia Tech, L. S. U., Florida and Auburn will be met away from home. Seven Conference games are included in the schedule. CAROLINAOUT OF DIXIE GROUP The University of South Carolina has been denied admission to the Dixie intercollegiate baseball league because the long trips to Columbia would keep the players of other schools away from class too long according to an announcement in the Augusta Chrbtiiclc recently. LAVAL PLANS STATE CIRCUIT OF SIX CLUBS AMATEUR HEAD VISITS Summer Schedule to Include Newberry, Clemson, Erskine, Citadel, P. C. and South Carolina Coach Billy I,aval is rapidly going forward with plans for the organization of a six-team league composed of college nines from Carolina, Clemson, p. C., , Citadel, Erskine, anel Newberry, which, if plans materialize, will play a summer schedule of games. Rock Hill, Chester, Orangeburg, Newberry, Clinton, Greenwood, Sumter, Camden, and other cities in the State now without professional baseball have been suggested as home towns for the collcgiate nines. It is believed that these towns will be willing to support such an organization. Plans for the organization of the league were set off last week when Leslie Mann, former big league star and now national director of the United States Amateur Baseball Association, paid a visit to Columbia and appointed the Carolina head coach as State director of the South Carolina proposed league. Under Hie present plans the circuit will be composed of teams of the various colleges with what additions judged to be necessary from the freshmen and ineligible tracks.

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR 1931 I The greatest football team to represent the University in the last decade should take the field for the Birds next year. A veteran line with an abundance of good freshman material coming up [ should leave little to be desired there. The backfield with the addition of Clary, Barrentine, Hambright, Wolfe, Dick Shinn, and Turner from the powerful freshman team will be bolstered. ' The fight for the end berths will be ' very spirited. Hajek and T)eVaughn will probably be the regulars. Hajek is a ' good pass receiver while DcVaughn is a vicious blocker. Bostick will probably be ^ the first string understudy for one end with Willard on the other. ' Four big men will fight it out for the ' tackle berths. Huskey and McManus should sew up the starting assignments. Mears and Adair will be strong understudies. The best pair of guards in the southeast will again perform for the Birds. Freeman and Hughey should be at their best. ' If either slips Moorehead and Fortson arc available to replace them. Both are big powerful men who should become proficient at their positions. If necessary . Ernest Correll can go to guard and play 9 a nice game. Joe Shinn will hold forth at center with Bill Gilmore as chief understudy. A wealth of promising material is availe able for the backfield. Dick Shinn and I Grayson Wolfe arc a pair of capable Y quarterbacks. Both arc. good all-round backs. Shinn is a brilliant running back : while Wolfe is an especially adept passer - and punter. The rest of the backfield will be built - around Capt. Blount with Clary and s Hambright as leading candidates. Blount 1 is an experienced back, who is good on defense and blocking. Hambright will be t one of the best blockers in the State and 5 is a power on defense. Clary is one of . those natural running backs who ali ways delight a coach. He is always a ! threat and can block on occasion. 1 > srffB You Have Cr< of Edu ? l And the busy world now aw; I We feel that you will attain thorough preparation. BELK'S DEPAR' "We Sell It 1503 Mali , "BIG BEAR" ROWLAND, A'age Seven TITLES BOXING TEAM'S CHANCES GREAT :M . . Many Lettermen Back; Heavy Division to be Capably Filled The prospects for an excellent boxing team at Carolina next year appear unusually bright. Coach Jack Alison will have several letter men back and also some very promising material from the freshmen ranks. In the bantamweight division Tommy Scott, state champion, will be back. Rodgcrs, his running mate, v/ill also be on hand. Another promising youngster is Duncan. He showed up well in the intramural boxing tournament, and if he doesn't add on too much weight between now and next year he's going to make the other boys hustle. Also in this division are Lemon and Abbott. The featherweight class will have Jimmy Brailsford, one of the year's star performers, back. If a hard, smashing wallop is any indication of a good fighter, this boy Rivers is going far in the fight game. However, unless he can keep down his weight he will have to fight in the lightweight class. There is a possibility of "Tedo" Quattlebaum be ing back next year, but even so whether ' he will be eligible is a question. "Tiger" Watts, captain-elect, will head lightweight Humphlett, a tournament participant, may also be out. C There will be plenty of competition in Hi. the welterweight class with such men as Green, Scott, J., Sanders, Peele, and Brooks making it up. * ' . Another division that offers plenty of action is the middleweight class. This year's regular, Callahan, will be back for duty accompanied by McCravy. Others are Wolfe, McCutcheon, and Fulmer.
