I Varsity Ni Second P Season. Newberry And Clemaon Tied For Palmetto League Lead. Erskine, P. C. And Newberry Remaining Opponents Carolina stands firmly anchored in third place in the Palmetto league race with the Clemson Tigers and Newberry holding the first two posts. Failing to gain more than an even break against the Tigers in their final clash with Clemson this week, the Birds remain where they were pushed by Newberry two weeks ago. Lack of timely hitting and unsteady support have been the secret of the Bird losses. Six games remain on the Gamecocks' schedule in the league, two each with Erskine, P. C., and Newberry. The team meets Erskine April 28 and 29 at Due West, Presbyterian May 3 and 4 at Davis field and finishes the season May 9 and 10 in Newberry against the league-leading Newberry team in a series which may decide the state championship. Two victories would probably give either team the flag, unless the Clemson Tigers finish the remainder of. the season undefeated. The Birds are fighting uphill to capture their fourth consecutive otate title. They have already been t,:minated from the defense of their Southern conference title which they held in 1931 jointly with Auburn. u. s. o. Pi Kaps Beat Kappa Sigmas Intramural baseball opened its 1932 season with the Pi Kappa Alphas defeating the Kappa Sigmas 1G to 11 in a game featured by the pitching of Mauney and Martin, and the loose fielding of both teams. Fortson and Martin led the P.i Kappas' hitting, while Pat Patterson and manager Kent Ewing did the Kappa Sigmas' slugging. TJ. s. o. COACH LAVAL HAS RELIGIOUS DISTINCTION Prof. Charles F.

Varsity Dt Tiger \ 4 Birds Remain Undefeated In State With 3 Victories; Smith And Lynn Star By defeating Clemson 72 to 59 Saturday afternoon, Carolina definitely established itself as leading contender for the state track championship. Furman and Presbyterian college, the other full teams entered in the state meet have previously been defeated by the Gamecocks. Buck Smith, Carolina hurdler, and Gordon Lynn, Clemson sprinter, tied for high scoring honors with 10 points each. Smith took firsts in the high and low hurdles, coming within 1-10 of a second of tying the state record in the high hurdles. Lynn was not closely pushed in the dashes and was timed several seconds slower than in previous meets this year. Bryant Adair, in hurling the discus 131 ft. 5 inches, bettered the state record by a yard. Curran Ilughey broke his own state record when he tossed the shot 41 ft. 10 1-2 inches. These marks do not count officially in the state records, however.

SOHAFER TTp ooster jft ambles By AL SCHAFER The track team for the first time in years shows championship calibre as it finished its state dual meet schedule this week tripping Furman 79-52 to remain undefeated in the state. Coach A. W. Norman has developed a team from a mediocre nucleus of last year to one rated with the best in the south. Several outstanding men in track and field events will represent the Gamecocks in the State meet next Saturday. Curran Hughey, record holder in the shot-put; Frank Bostick, champ in the high jump and a serious contender for the broad jump title, and Bryant Adair, who hurled the discus to an unofficial state record against Furman, all will be pitted against the tracksters of P. C., Furman, Clemson, and Citadel. The track team may now replace baseball as the major sports headliner at Carolina in the spring. CAROLINA DEFENDS ITS RACQUET TITLE The tennis team, led by Captain Elliot Crum, this week begins its defense of the state title. The result of the match with Furman will go a long way toward determining the '32 title, since there will be no state meet this year. The team has wins over Davidson and Wake Forest and two over Catawba, both matches by 7-0 scores, and lost to the National-championship N. C. Tarheels and Davidson on the N. C. trip. Plans for an intramural boys' tennis tournament are being made in hopes of developing material for the '33 varsity. ifeats Trackmen 4 Birds Halve With Tigers Varsity Loses Chance To Regain Lead; Meets Erskine Today In Second Of Series The Gamecock baseball team journeyed upstate to the Tiger's lair Tuesday, and split a double-header with the Cadets. Grayson Wolf was credited with his first loss of the season when the Tigers hopped on him for nine runs in the sixth inning of the first game. Fred Hambright hit his second homer of the year. After the Birds unlimbcrcd their big guns to drive in three runs in the first inning of the night-cap, Bill Ouzts turned in one of the best performances of the year and let the heavy-hitting Cadets down with four measly hits. The Ganiccocks rest a day before going to Due West to play a two game series with Erskine.

Carolina Beats Pacifics 14-4 Birds Drop Contest To Strong Winnsboro Nine SaturdayAfternoon After losing to the Royal Cords from Winnsboro Mills Friday, Carolina's hard-hitting Gamccock's took a well-played game from the Pacific mills on Saturday afternoon, to the tune of 14 to 4. The Gamecock's had big innings in the third, when they pushed six runs across the plate and again in the seventh when five Birds tallied. Allie McDougall, played at shortstop, had a perfect day at the plate. Out of five trips McDougall was hit twice by a pitched ball, was walked once, and gathered two singles. Myer PoliakofT, Gamecock southpaw, pitched his first full game this season and let the mill-men down with nine well-scattered hits, in addition to striking out five batters.
