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

PEE DEE ARCHERS
DEFEAT CAROLINA
The University Archery team, coached
by Marion Yates, met defeat at the hands
of the Pee Dee area Boy Scout team this
week in Darlington, by the score of 246
to 230. This evens the series,- Carolina
having already won a meet last fall.
Marion Yates led the individual scoring
for the University team with 65 hits
to make a score of 327. Roy Prince came
next with 65 hits but he only got a score
of 300. Dave Stoddard made 54 hits to
score 232, while Fred Ford camc last
with 45 hits and a score of 158.
For the Boy Scouts, Ed Norment led
with 83 hits, spring 453. Monroe Spears
came next with 68 hits, scoring 312, E.
B. Williams came next with 55 hits and
249 points and Harbert Taylor tailed tlu^
list with 40 hits for 182 points.
' The University points totaled 1,017
and the Scouts had 1,196.
record, and are State champions. But
out of the State they won one and lost
three. P. C. was the Birds' first victim
by the score of 4-3. Citadel, the only
other State opponent mi't, was crushed
by the leather-pushers, 5-2. 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.
The track team was fairly good and
1 shows many signs of a good improvement
in 1932. It won one State meet
against Furinan and was second in the
State meet at Clinton. 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.
The tennis team was undefeated for
the second consecutive year and took the
State tennis title with A?ase. It boasts
twelve straight wins this year with on^
out-of-state opponent in Sewanee, which
was defeated, 4-1. The only Tiger win
was by Biirwell, nationally ranking number
31 and Southern star.

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.

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.
These teams will be placed in > towns

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.

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.
