Track] ^ Bird A 4 Tennis Team Closes Year Racqueteers Win Seven Team Loses Two To Davidson And Break Even With The Hurricane The University of South Carolina tennis team is tied for the State tennis title with the Furman net team. The Gamecocks have won seven matches within the state and lost hut one, that to Furnian. The Birds beat Furnian up at Greenville by the score of five matches to two but lost to the Hurricane when they met them here, 4 to 3. The netinen have played two matches out-of-state both with Davidson, but they lost both of them. Prospects look bright for next year as Bobby Killingsworth, Captain, and ^ No. 1 man is the only man who will be lost through graduation. There are several excellent prospects coming up from the freshmen team. The freshmen claim the state championship as they have not lost a match this year. Tuesday afternoon they downed the Little Wind from Furman 4 to 3. The varsity also won Tuesday afternoon when they trounced P. C. 5 to 2. Members of this year's squad are: Bobby Killingsworth, capt., and No. 1, Bobby Moore, No. 2, Ed Mann, No. 3, Dave Ellison, No. 4, Roy Powell, No. 5, and Hank Gooding, No. 6. The No. 1 doubles team of Killingsworth and Moore claim the state doubles title as they have not lost a set this year. Sports Over For Season A most successful season, all told, has just been completed by the Carolina Gamecocks. Several individual and team championships were won, this year marking the first time that a Carolina team has ever gained a undisputed Southern Conference championship. After a most erratic season the Gamecocks brought the football season to an end in a burst of glory by their tie with Auburn, who had been virtually conceded the Southern Conference. When the final whistle blew the Birds had wins over their traditional rival Clemson, WofTord, Villanova, Sewanee, Citadel. They had been defeated by Tulane, Wake Forest, Furman, the latter game losing the state title for the Birds. Ties were gained with Auburn and North Carolina State. It was in basketball that the Gamecocks reached the heights. Brushing aside all competition at the Conference meet at Raleigh, the Birds won the Southern Conference title. They were defeated only twice, neither defeat being suffered at the hands of a conference opponent. All in all, it seems that the basketball team was the best team to represent Carolina this year. The state baseball title was brought back to the University this year by the team that Laval called the best baseball team he has ever coached here. With Wolf and Ouzts doing the principal part of the pitching, ably supported by Tompkins and Henderson, and the heavy hitting of the entire outtit. tiie team was practically unbeatable, and ran away with the state race. The boxing team sent one man to a Southern Conference title, Henry Willard winning the middleweight crown. v. B. o. Twelve Frosh Given Numerals Coach Whitey Rawl recently announced that he had recommended 12 members of the Carolina freshman baseball team for numerals. Those named were; "Hook" Wil- i liamson, Elliot, H. Hall. "Windy" Robinson, "Country" Kneece, Kenneth < Ouzts, Bud Alexander, Brockington, < Jim Good, Lewis, Fred Ellis and Tommy Crawford. Several of these men were members ; of the Eastern United States Cham- t ( pionship Junior American Legion base- t ball team, and will make good material for Coach Laval's 1934 Game- t cocks. 1 ? men C * Jet Tec Killings1* Thru The Bird's Eye BY IRWIN KAHN Killingsworth and Moore Hobby Killingsworth, newly crowned city singles ''champ has completed his tennis career at the University. In two years of competition within the state Bobby has not lost a single set. Of course it follows from this that he also has not lost a match. Added to his city crown he may be called the state Intercollegiate champion. Bobby Moore No. 2 man on the team lias also some sort of a record. He has lost but one set in high school and collegiate competition in or out of the state. Bobby has one more year of play for the University. Letters The University of South Carolina tennis team has held tTie state tennis championship for four consecutive years and this year will hold it jointly with Fur man. It seems that the men would be able to get some sort of an award in the form of letters for their work. No other team in any other sport can boast of such a record. The galleries this year were the largest in several years and it does not seem impossible for the sport to assume a rank of major importance on the athletic program of the University. At North Carolina tennis is ranked as a major sport. Why not at the University of South Carolina? Craig We believe that Tom Craig will have a sort of vindication for himself when he goes to the Southern Conference meet tomorrow. We are referring to the awarding of the Lion's Club award to Turk Osman at the state track meet, for being the most valuable man in the state. Of course we disagree with the choice but a proof is better than an argument and we think that the proof will come tomorrow. u. m. o. Boxers Practice For Next Year Spring training in boxing will be instituted at Carolina this year by Coach Frankie DeMars. Fach evening Coach DeMars will be in the gym to help any one who contemplates trying out for the team next year. The team this year was woefully inexperienced, and DeMars intends to alleviate this in next year's team as much as possible. All boys interested are urged to be present. Prospects for the boxing team are the brightest in years. Coach DeMars has predicted a Southern Conference championship for tlie team next year. I he team will be more experienced, several good men are coming up from the intramural ranks, and a merry battle is expected for practically every position on the team. Block C Club Initiates Forty The reorganized Block C Club of the University initiated 40 men into its ranks Tuesday night. This is the largest number that have been initiated in several years and marks a new attitude of the athletes of the University toward the club. Last year only a few men joined the organization. Flections were held for the ensuing year and Fred Hambright of Clover was elected to the presidency to succeed Harry Freeman. Dick Shinn succeeds Archie Vaughn as vice-president. The office of secretary-treasurer was livided into two offices and Tom Craig ivas elected Secretary and Heyward Clarkson treasurer. Those initiated last night were those ithletes who had made letters for he first time in football, basketball, rack, and boxing. Plans were made at the meeting for he annual Bowery ball, which is to >e held Wednesday, May 24. . ' VL, ':aj< i ? . ' # . . . > . M rri lO lo k im In vorth y\ Birds Lose Track Title Carolina's tracksters failed to retain their state championship, losing . to P. C. by the count of 46 to 61 1-2. , But several Gamecocks were stars in the meet, one of them, Tom Craig, , breaking two of the records which fell, ( and taking another first and a second for good measure. , Buck Smith, the Bird's star hurdler, ( came in with two firsts to equal the work of Osman and Lynn who also . won two first apiece. Buck's low hurdle time was two tenths of a second behind the state mark while his high ( hurdle time lacked only one tenth of a second of tying the record. Mauney and Hutt each collected a ^ second and a third to add ten points ( to the Roosters count. Captain Ben , Woodruff added four more counts with a third in the high hurdles, and fourth in the low hurdles and broad jump. Walter Taylor couldn't get off one of his high javelin throws due to the strong wind, so he had to be content with a fourth place. Tom Craig's afternoon work consisted of three firsts, the shot, discus, and high jump, and a second in the javelin. He tossed the 16 pound weight 45 feet, 4 7-8 inches compared with the old state record of 41 feet 8 inches. His discus sailed 131 feet, 11 1-4 inches, more than three feet beyond the old mark. The rain-soaked track and the high wind prevented the runners from hitting their best form and as a result no distance mark fell. Lynn bettered the century record by one tenth of a second and equalled the furlong mark. Again Carolina's runners in all events above the 220 failed to get a place, which proved disastrous to the Bird's chances of winning the cup. Wetmorc lacked one place of scoring in the 440, and the same applied to Foster who ran a nice mile only to finish fifth. Besides Craig's and Lynn's performances the 12 foot 6 inch vault of Curry of Clemson tvas the only other record achievement. The pole vault mark was considered one of the most improbable to be broken. Summary Mile run: Oliver, (P. C.) first; Hopkins (F), second; McDuffie (P. C.), third; Fulmer (C), fourth. 4 minutes, 40.9 seconds. 440-yard dash: Osman (P. C.), first; Clark (P. C.), second; Graham (P.

Confi "A Tie Ft fins Cit ? i Shots On Birds BY DOUG STURKIE I wisfi to apologize to Coach Laval and the baseball team for the sad mistake I made in my last column. I merely meant to joke at the other ball teams in the league and state that we :ou!d have beaten them under any conditions. I wrote with haste and instead of a joke I accused four of our players of drinking, which was untrue. Again I apologize, boys. Please forgive me, j ind I'Jl see that it never happens again. I see that we are scheduled to score 13 points in the Conference track meet tomorrow. Twenty points will be nearer right, with T. J. Craig doing a lion's share of the scoring, (about 9 joints). Mauney and Hutt should pick up about 7, Smith over 4, and Wetmore will place in the 440 The boys of Keely and tenement 28 get together every afternoon and have a baseball game on Melton Feld. They have a barrel of fun and some good baseball. I wouldn't advise girls to go to the game because the boys don't wear too many clothes How does "Cocky" Blair rate the do-re-mi to feed the lady folks in the Metro.... With a reasonable amount of breaks we should win at lease four of the five state major titles Congrats to Bobby Killingsworth for taking the city tennis championship into camp With this I'll say good-by until next year. U. 8. O. Track Team Given Letters An even dozen trackmen were recommended for letters by Coach Rock Norman. Two of these men are hurdlers, six arc runners, and four are field men. Lettermen and their events follow: Captain Ben Woodruff, hurdler and broad jumper, placed first in a dual meet and also placed in three events in the state meet. Alternate Captain Billy Wetmore won first in two 440yard races, Kenneth Sease won three half mile runs. Elmore Martin won first in the mile against Clemson. Tom Craig and Buck Smith also were given block "C's". Harold Mauney won a few dual meet first and placed twice in the state. Bryan Hutt placed twice in the state battle. Walter Taylor won the javelin against Davidson and took fourth in the state. Ed. Sallenger carried the baton one lap for Carolina's relay team which took second in the state. Ed Craig and Bobby Moore tied for first in the pole vault against Furman; Bill Fincher, manager, was awarded a "C" also. Of these men Smith, Woodruff, Wetmore, and Ed Craig will be lost to the team next year, while the other eight will probably return. Several freshman stars will be eligible for the varsity next year and it is hoped they can fill the vacancies and do a little more. Next years team is expected to have the following candidates as well as a few new men who will probably report: W. Martin, Hutt, Mauney, dashes; Blewer, Mitchel, Sallenger, 440; Sease, McLaughlin, Blewer, Hubbard, Mitchel, 880; Cardwell, E. Martin, McNaull, Turner, Hubbard, mile; Wolfe, Jones, Martin, McNaull, two mile. Taylor, Petit, Hook, Hemphill, hurdles; Taylor, Craig (captain Craig, and 'what a captain!), Bauknight, weights; Pagones, Cardwell, Sease, Mauney, broad jump; Craig, Turner, Pagones, high jump; Pagones, Moore, Craig, pole vault. u. s. o. Three Seniors Leave University Harry Fuzz Freeman, Ernest Corrcll and Tom Rabbi Brantley have left tinUniversity to go to work. Freeman who was captain of this year's football team has gone to his home in Ocula, (?a., where he is working. Ernest Correll, outfielder on this year's championship baseball team has left school with the intention of playing professional baseball. erence r * * >r Stal< :y Title > Net Leader Is Champion Captain Bobby Killingsworth No. 1 man on Carolina tennis team captured the City of Columbia singles title Monday afternoon on the Ridgewood courts. Killingsworth downed Billy j Ellis, rcccnt graduate of Columbia high, in five sets. Killingsworth was runner-up last year, and this year he together with 1 ommy Collins, last year's tennis team Captain won the doubles title so the tournament was a success as far as i Carolina was concerned. Bobby Moore and Ellis were runnerups in the doubles. There were three Carolina men entered in the tournament and all three were either winners or runnerup in singles or doubles. Killingsworth was seeded No. 1 in the singles and Collins was seeded No. 3. Collins was ineligible for varsity competition this year. Killingsworth and Collins were top choice in the doubles but Ellis and Moore were not ranked and upset two ranked teams to reach the finals. u. 8. o. Tom Brantley has been recruited in the Reforestation movement in this statfc. All three of these men were seniors. Freeman was on the track team also, and Correll and Brantley played football. U.

Mauney And Hutt Have Stiff Competition In Dashes But > 4 Are Favored Thirteen points in the Southern Con- ; ference meet is the amount allotted to the Gamecocks by one prognosticator, but at any rate several Birds arc going to the meet with a chance to put Carolina on the track map. ' Mauney and Hutt will have plenty to do in the 100 and 220 as there are numerous stars such as Widmyer of ' Maryland, Lynn of Clemson, and Brownlee of Duke. These Roosters however should grab a point or two. Buck Smith ranks a favorite to place in both hurdles, though not likely above second in either. His best time on the lows, 24.6, is not far behind Brownlee's mark and his 15.6 on the highs is within striking distance of the favorite's time. Tom Craig has several good competitors in the weights but is expected to take a second or a third in the shot and a place in the discus. Both Taylor and Craig throw the javelin along with all except one entrant, LeGore of N, C., who has gotten over 200 feet several times. The Carolina men have i done over 180 which may net them both a place if they repeat their best || performance. Though North Carolina, Duke, and Virginia ^rc heavy favorites, and a few other teams are prominent, U. S. C. will make herself felt, as will Clemson, the other South Carolina entrant. g, Fella! ?
