State Marks To Fall
Century Dash To Be Feature;
Craig Expected To
Boost Shot Put Mark
Carolina's State championship track
squad goes to Clinton this week-end
for the annual state meet with hopes of
bringing back another cup. The
Roosters have improved immeasurably
and, if all men come through, have a
good chance to win, according to
Coach Norman.
Several Carolina men have beaten
state records during the season and
several rank as favorites in the battle
Saturday. Mauney and Hutt finished
almost abreast in the Davidson 100yard
dash at 9.8 seconds, one tenth of
a second better than the existing
record and tying Lynn's best time.
Hutt has twice run the 220 under the
state mark.
Buck Smith has eclipsed records in
both hurdles and ranks as a favorite
in these events. Against Davidson he
beat the mark by 3.2 seconds. With
Taylor, Woodruff, and possibly Mauney
running the hurdles, Carolina
should add several points to their score.
Tom Craig will rule as a favorite in
the shot put and discus, in which lie
has consistently beaten the state mark
by good margins. He has also thrown
the javelin beyond the record but was
beaten by Walter Taylor on that throw.
Tom has a good chance in the high
jump since most men in the state use
a diving form which is illegal and may
be ruled out. He will enter the pole
vault and possibly broad jump.
Mauney and Woodruff should pick
up a couple points in the broad jump.
Sease is accorded a chance in the 880
if Osinan runs the mile, and at least
should place, though he ?has stiff competition.
Wetmore is counted on for
a place in the 440 and also may run the
half mile. Abel, Martin, Foster, and
Jones will enter the mile with a chance
to take a point or two. Any of these
men may run the two miles but are
not conceded much chance.
Sallenger and Abbott will run the
440. Ed. Craig should place in the
pole vault if he is in good shape,
though he has been troubled by a sore
leg. Fuzz Freeman may snatch a place
in the shot and the discus.
If all men come up to expectations
Carolina should win but a bad break
or two may give a win to either P. C.
or Clemson, both of which have beaten
the Chickens in dual contests.
P. C.'s main strength rests in the
running events. Ycarout is a threat in
the 100 and the 220. Graham, Osman,
and Clark arc all capable of cracking
t1'" state record on the 410, but Osman
il probably run the mile which recc
he can probably lower. Osman
* .s beaten the 880 mark but it is doubt.
if he can break both the mile and
the 880 in one afternoon. In the mile
Oliver is Presbyterian's best regular
and he has run near record time several
afternoons.
Clemson is strong in the field just
as is Carolina. Lambeth of Newberry
College may step in and take a few
points from either of the two state institutions
to the advantage of P. C.
Furman sends Alley in the dashes,
Boney and Owens in the middle distances,
and Hopkins and Warren in
the long runs. These men are threats
to Carolina more so than to P. C.
Adair of Furman is fair in the high
jump and may give the leaders trouble.
Erskine will possibly enter a man or
two.
So P. C., Carolina, and Clemson will
probably wage a spectacular battle
Saturday with chances of either to win.
Carolina representatives in events requiring
preliminaries will go to Clinton
Friday and the others will come up for
the finals the next day.

To Davidson
In the best dual track meet ever
staged in Columbia Carolina was barely
nosed out by Davidson to the tune
of G5 1-3 to GO 2-3. Numerous records
of both North and South Carolina were
eclipsed and most all events were fast
and good.
Failure to place in the mile and two
mile donated the Wildcats 18 points
which the other Gamecocks could not
make up. Martin, who was supposed
to do something in the mile, was lousy.
Smith won the low hurdles in almost
unbelievable time and took second in
the highs. Mauney beat out Fleagle
and Hutt at 9.8 in the century, one
tenth of a second better than the S. C.
record. Hutt trailed Fleagle to the
tape in the 220, making the distance in
about 21.9. The state record is 22.2 but
was run on a curved track.
Seasc came from behind in the half
to beat out Gwyn of Davidson in 2:06, tc
which is good time for Carolina's track. jc
In this race Abbott ran the Davidson
leading runner into the ground on the ^
first 700 yards. Craig beat the S. C. ^
records in both the discus and the
javelin but got second in both, Davidson
taking the discus and Taylor winning
the javelin.

Thru The

BY IRWIN KAHN
The closing of the collegiate base>all
season this week calls for the
boosing of a mythical Allstate team,
iome scribes claim that it is natural
or the winning team place the most
nen on such a team, while others conend
that there arc many players who
re members of weak teams who would
how up much better if they were with
i stronger club. This may be true of
>itchers as proper support and hitting
s necessary to win ball games, but
ilayers in other positions will field a
>all as well for one team as for
mother.
Seven of the thirteen men chosen are
rom the Gamecock team. I honestly
>elicve that those Carolina men who
vcre put on were the best men in the
eague for their position.
Wolf and Ouzts of Carolina are the
eading pitchers from the standpoint
>f victories. Then come Gcttys or
vrskine and Ingram of Newberry. No
loubt these two pitchers could have
von as many games as the Carolina
nen if they were given the support but
ve cannot base their ability upon what
hey might have done.
Proctor of Clemson and Jenkins of
Carolina arc by far the two best receivers
in the state, Jenkins is the beter
fielder but Proctor had the edge in
>atting, but to come right down to the
mint of choosing I would as soon have
)iie as the other.
Ayoub of Newberry and Alley of
Pur man were the candidates for scc>nd.
Ayoub is the more valuable man.
Besides playing second well, he is a
<ood batter and also won some games
'or the Indians from the mound.
Carolina men take both short and
hird. These two positions were the
incs that most of the teams were weak
it. Newberry had a good third basenan
in Clary but Rohbins was a better
ielder. Yonce of Carolina gets short.
The outfield was easier to choose,
K. Jones of Furman gets right field,

Fred Hambright of Clover South
Carolina who will lead the 1934 Bird
baseball team. He was elected to the
captaincy Wednesday at a meeting of
the lettermen.
Hambright Is
Made Captain
Fred "Yoyo"'Hambright was electcd
captain of the 1934 Carolina baseball
team last Wednesday at a meeting held
*by the lettermen. There were sixteen
men present.
Harry Hamilton was elected alternate
captain.
Hambright is from Rock Hill and is
a junior in the arts and science school.
He plays left field. Hamilton came
here last year from a junior college and
this is his first year in athletics at the
University so he is eligible for two
more years of competition. Both these
men are out for the same position on
the football squad, that of right halfback.
They succeed Bill Ouzts, this year's
captain and Bill Jenkins, his alternate.

Shots On Birds
BY DOUG STURKIE
If I were a Walter Winchell, I
would toss a whole flock of orchids at
Bob Robbins, Sigma Nu's token to the
May Queen. At the beginning of practice
this year Rookie Jenkins said that
the entire hope for a good team rested
on the success or failure of the man
playing third. At the beginning of the
season Robbins applied for the job and
he developed from just a mediocre
rookie to the outstanding third baseman
of the league. His hitting was
around 400 and he fielded around 900.
His development is a tribute to the
hard work and the coaching of Coach
Laval... .In case you don't know, the
day that we defeated Krskinc to clinch
the state championship, four men on
the team were under the influence of
intoxicating beverages Nolan Raby,
was once transported from one steamer
to another in mid ocean to have an appendix
operation performed I'm
picking Tom Craig to score at least 15
points in the state meet and to toss the
shot put over 45 feet The Carolina
cheering section next year will probably
rival the best in the country with
I^utch Willard, Spot Mozingo and the
Ainato brothers as the leaders. It will
be a mixture of noise and acrobatics
stunts such as is found at the major
schools of the country. The baseball
team next year should be a sensation,
only four members of the entire squad
will graduate and a host of able freshmen
and this years reserves should
more than make up for the loss.

P. C. 8 To 3
The Gamecocks won the last final
game of the season by defeating the
Presbyterian College nine in Clinton
after they had got off to a lead in the
fourth and fifth innings.
The P. C. team started a fine game
which looked like a pitching duel between
Wolf and McCutchcn. The first
three innings were scoreless with the
Blue Stockings taking the lead then.
Carolina's big sixth frame gave them
the advantage which they kept the remainder
of the game.
Handicapped by the suspension of
three of her regular men the Gamecocks
showed little weakness in taking
advantage of all occasions to run up
her score.
John Munn slammed a home run* in
the seventh while Bob Robbins led the
hitting for the Gamecocks with two
hits out of three times up.
P. C. was led at the bat by Holconib,
McCutchen and Nettles. Bolick,
the renowned boxer, got the only
three-bagger of the day and played a
good game at first base.
Three new men were found in the
lineup of Billy Laval due to disqualification
of three of his men. They
were McDougall at first base, Watson
catcher, and Horace Blair in center
field.
The game to be played Tuesday in
Clinton was rained out after the second
inning with P. C. in the lead by a score
of 1-0. Bill Outzs was on the mound
for Carolina and Nettles for the
Clinton aggregation.

Gamecocks Lose Only Two
Games Out Of Eighteen
This Season

The state championship has again
come to Carolina this time in the form
of baseball laurels to add to the years I
total. The Gamecock baseball squad
has suffered only two losses this sea-'
son out of eighteen games and those
being by a margin of only one score .;$$
each.
Carolina's nine have an outstanding
rccord in the per centage of games won mi
and lost this season. Such a rccord is
rare if ever known in the annals of collcgiate
baseball in South Carolina.
Laval's men have been in good form
from the beginning of the season. They
have been consistent at the bat and
their fielding has been much above the
average.
The batting this year was led by
Bob Robbins, Harry Hamilton, and
Fred Hambright. All three of them
arc near the 400 mark. Eight of the
Gamecock sluggers are well above 300
in batting for the year.
Ernest Corrcll, hard hitting center
fielder, is leading in home runs with a
total of three for the season, John
Munn and Fred Hambright both have
two homers to their credit. In triples
Roy Blair and Walker Yonce are tied
for honors with a total of five each.
Yonce and Harry Hamilton are tied in
doubles, both having five.
The Gamecocks lost their first game
