Sportattling BY COURTENAY CARSON So many boys were out for baseball practice one (lay this wee that there was not equipment enough for them all. This seems t indicate that despite gloomy predictions, the Carolina baseball teai vill not lack for material. Baseball has ever been one of the most popular of the major sport at Carolina. It is the sport that practically every athlete has playe at some time in his life, whether on a sand lot team in his boyhoo< or on a high school team, or in college. So more power to the Gamecock squad this season, and may thei batting averages be on a par with the number of candidates for th team! One of the hardest working and least glorified men in Carolina athletic setup is Mr. Jack Crawford, director of physical educatio at the University. It is Mr. Crawford who is responsible for the fine intra-mura program at Carolina, and for the physical development, of the great est number of students. In the past few years, Mr. Crawford has made the intra-mura program grow from an infant project to a full fledged and intel esting series of activities with football, track, tennis, basketball, bo, ing, and handball. In a recent feature article, "Dinky" Williams, our colleague o The Gamecock, brought out the fact that more students at Carolin participated on intra-murals than in all intercollegiate sports con bined. If this is so, then it. is logical to assume that Mr. Crawford doe more work than all the coaches combined. Perhaps this conclusio is exaggerated, but in any event, Mr. Crawford deserves all t: support and encouragement that the students can give him. We agree with Preston Johnson, manager of the boxing team, tha one of the needs of the gymnasium is a better lighting system. Tl present lights give illumination that is not sufficient for basketba or handball playing at night. This column wishes to add this feature to our list of needed iin provements. The huge new field house at Swarthmore University has a flo< space 100 yards long, and 40 yards wide, and in addition has te rooms each 25 feet square. Two indoor tennis courts, a runnin track, a Lacrosse field, and football practice goals are housed i the structure, and these sports may be carried on at the same tim Nets separate the various areas. Swarthmore also has a diversified athletic program, with seven ii tercollegite sports, four intra-mural sports (Carolina has more tha that) and 19 sports in the "sports e(ucation" program.

Birds Eliminated In First Game Of Tourney By Washington, And Lee Playing the same smooth, unruffled game that made them the Conference champions for 1937. the Washington and Lee quintet defeated a hard fight ing South Carolina team in the open ing game of the colorful tournament held in Raleigh, March 4, 5, and 6. The final score was 42 to 22. Playing before a capacity crowd in the Memorial Auditorium the Game cocks made a gallant stand through out the first half and managed, by dint of a desperate effort, to bring the score to 18-21 as late as five minutes after the half. Here, however, the tall Generals making use of their su perior height began to forge ahead and were never again in danger. Captain "Skeeter" James, playing his last game for Carolina drew ap plause from the large crowd on sev eral occasions by his scintillating floor play. The little Gamecock guard has been the spark-plug of the Carolina team throughout his basketball career and is one of the main reasons for the University's perch on the top rung of the State Championship ladder this year. Guy T,ipscomb, tall, blonde center for the Carolina team astonished the crowd by taking the tip-off from the six foot se ven inch Spessard. Lips comb also managed to drop in eight precious points. He, with Tom Hut to, sparkling guard, led the scoring for South Carolina. "Goody" Taylor, hampered by the effects of a recent illness also played his last game for the University. Tay lor has been a valuable member of Carolina's basketball teams for the past three years and will be sorely missed from his forward post. Captain Iler and Frank Woodward, guards on the Washington and Lee squad were playing their last games also. Washington and Lee has had an enviable record for the Conference tournament for the past four years. In 1934 the Generals defeated Duke by one point to win the title. In 1935 and 1936 they lost to the Uni versity of North Carolina in the fi nals. It is interestinig to note that the first score was made by James ini exactly ten seconds of play. Thc giant Spessard was high scorer for both teams with eleven points. Govern~or Clyde Hoey of North Carolina opened the tournament by throwving in the first ball.
