Gamecocks
Make Tour
Win Over P. C., N. 0. State, And
Trenton; Lose To Albany,
Erskine And Duke
Exhibitions of both good and bad baseball
have been presented by the current
edition of Carolina's baseball team to the
fans this season.
Taking the tilt from the P. C. Blue
Stockings 14 to 2 and dropping one
earlier in the season to Erskine 3 to
2, the local diamond boys traveled upstate
to engage Clemson yesterday afternoon
in the State race.
Carolina opened the season against the
Albany Senators, professional club, at
Barnwell and lost a close contest after a
couple extra innings 3 to 2. Bill
Outz, ineligible for inter-collegiate games
did stellar pitching for the Gamecocks
until relieved by "Country" Kneece who
performed equally as well.
Retaliating, the home product came
back to swamp the visiting Athletic Club
of Trenton, N. J. 22 to 1. Carolina
went on a batting and pitching spree that
day to sharpen the expectations of their
backers.
Coach Laval's two teams, the Columbia
Sandlappcrs and Carolina Gamecocks,
met in an exhibition game at Dreyfus
Field for the first loGal appearance of
both teams this year. The professionals
were ahead 6 to 5 when the game was
rained out mid-way.
Dropping the first game of a doubleheader
3 to 2 and the second 14 to
4, Carolina opened her intra-state contests
against Duke University on the home
lot. "Country" Kneece did some excellent
pitching in the first game but the visitors
copped runs at will against Fred Hambright
and K. K. Outz in the second tilt.
Doggedly the Gamecocks went after N.
C. State upon the arrival of the Tarheelians
and walked off Dreyfus Field
the winner 10 to 4.
J. J. Kneece couldn't keep the visitors
from hitting in the first inning despite
the amount of his curve. Grayson Wolfe
relieved him in the second stanza and held
the Northerners to two hits for the remainder
of the game. John Munn gave
the fans a thrill when he scored a homer
on a long fly inside the fence.
U. 8. O.
Biddies Lose
In Golf, 14-4
Carolina's Biddie golf team met their
first defeat of the season on Wednesday
when the Columbia High golf team defeated
them 14 to 4 on the Ridgewood
course. A return match will be played on
Saturday afternoon on the Ridgewood
Course.
Bob Leahy, Crawford White and Ilarlie
Sparrow represented the Frosh outfit,
represented Columbia High. The Biddies
are scheduled to meet Charlotte Iligh and
Charleston High in the near future and
it is expected that several other games
will be carded for them.

In the last issue of The Gamecock the
statement was made that Sides of Duke
floored Humphlett to wipe out the Gamecock's
lead in the semi-final Conference "
match.
The Gamecock sports staff gladly takes
this opportunity to apologize to Bill. We 1
are glad to state that he has never been j
floored during his collegiate career. And
we might add that we don't believe lie *
will have his record spoiled next year. (

Tenement Wins
Campus Title !
In one of the most thrilling basketball ,
contests of the Intra-mural season the
Kappa Sigma quintet met defeat 20 to 18 t
at the hands of a fighting Tenement 3 (
five on last Thursday on the Field House
court. As a result of their victory the
Tenement 3 quint won the Intra-mural
championship for the season.
The Kappa Sigmas and Tenement 3 i
fought their way to the finals from a field }
of 24 competing basketball teams. A
large crowd attended the contest and
thrill after thrill was afforded them as 1
first one team and then another forged ?
ahead. [
From the opening minutes of play the
outcome was in doubt and it was not until
the final moment of play that Tenement
3 staged a rally to come from behind
and score the winning field goal. j
This seasons' Intra-mural tournament c
sponsored by Jack Crawford, director of "
physical education, was one of the most 1
successful ever staged at the University
as 24 teams and over 300 boys competed ]
in the tourney. j
Bird-Pitt !
Aftermaths
Carolina's rangy basketcers took their ,
place with the elite of the nation with
their 38 to 35 win over the University of 1
Pitt five on March 28. Pitt conquerers of ^
the mighty Notre Dame basketball team <.
presented the sweetest passing attack ever
seen on the Carolina court.
1
The Pitt players were heard to remark ^
that the Birds defense was only the third t
defense that they had met with all season s
that forced them to resort to long shots, j
I hen there were the ones who bet on
the Pitt team. Joy over the Bird's win l
was written on their faces, yet a deep J
sadness over the flight of their investments
grasped their hearts as they wended
their way out of the field house.
Bennie Tompkins just couldn't seem to
make those shots go in. Proves what '
lack of real competition for a team can .
do. 1
* c
Dana Henderson was forced to exert .
his best in jumping against the lanky Pitt (
center who seemed to tower over Hen- j
derson's six feet-four.
The Gamecock's play in Atlanta be- '
fore the National Basketball Coaches '!
Convention attracted favorable notice and j
while Carolina lost one game, the games
were too short to tell the real story of f
the contests. ^
Hank Gooding, Columbia boy, came '"
through in fine style for the Birds staging
a one man rally by himself in the
last minutes of play when lie replaced
Bennie Tompkins in the guard position.

Good Fighting Is Assured Fans As
Successful Intramural Season
Closes
Carolina's annual intramural boxing
tournapient goes into the finals Monday
night, with eight fast fights promised
the spectators. Admission to the bouts,
which will be held in the field house, will
be 10 cents for students and 25 cents for
outsiders.
Whaley and Rogers fought last night
for the right to meet McNair in the 119
pound class. Lawrence Amato scraps
Carnes for the 129 title. In the lightweight
division "Dinky" Vaughn meets
the winner of the Dunn-Jones go.
Last night Hilton boxed McCrory and
Brissey faught Farnum to reach the finals
of the welterweight division. Bostain
met Zeigler, and Fernandez met Freeman
to reach the junior middleweight finals.
Shack McCrady will lock horns with
Fritz Turner for the middleweight crown
and T. W. Messervy scraps J. E. Williams
to determine the lightheavy championship.
John Rowland battles Bob Johnson in
the heavyweight finals.
One knockout and several other exciting
bouts marked the opening of the 1934
pugilistic intramural activities. In the
first match of the evening W. W. Dunn
slipped one through to Marchak's chin
and the seconds stopped the battle.
Vaughn came back to win a decision
from Colina, and Farnum took a close
decision from Joe Belott. A1 Brissey
beat Fd Chaftin in a welterweight go.
Luis Fernandez defeated Harper Wclborn
in perhaps the best fight of the night',
both men lighting hard but Fernandez
showing more skill than his opponent.
This was a junior middleweight match.
In another bout at the same weight Addison
Bostain used his swinging right to
telling advantage to earn a clear victory
over "Goodie" Taylor.
Williams defeated Childs in the lightheavy
division for the riglt to meet Messervy
in the finals.

Davidson Tops .
Tennis Team
The University of South Carolina varsity
tennis team met a crushing defeat at
the hands of Davidson on the university
courts last Thursday, by a score of 8 to 1.
Carolina was able to win only one of
the nine matches as Jack Crawford and
Wesley Walker won from Barnett and
Scott of Davidson 7-5, 5-7, 6-4. David
Ellison, captain of the tennis team was
not present. A good crowd attended the
matches and had the good fortune to sec
many closely played tennis matches.
Marion Ilolman, former U. S. C. tennis
star, now a student in the Law School, is
coaching the tennis team.
