rack Men Sportauling BY COURTENAY CARSON - After tottering on the brink for several years, the center tip in asketball has finally been shoved over into the pit of oblivion by the national rules committee. Despite a few weak dissenting voices, the majority of coaches have taken the action that has been threatening for quite a time. The center tip will be used only at the beginning of the game and at the start of the second half and overtime periods. Teams on the west coast have been doing without the center play very successfully, and the general concensus of opinion seems to be that games are faster without it. The decision of the rules committee is not final, but is for a period of a year, after which the final decision will be made one way or another. After reading numerous press reports, we are still of the opinion that Frank Jenkins is the logical choice for the bantamweight crown in national intercollegiate competition. Of course we did not ac tually see the California fight, but 5,000 fight fans did, and they booed heartily when Jenkins lost the verdict. Our versatile basketball mentor, Ted Petoskey, is'now playing baseball with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and will be in Augusta for two games. Coach Ted left Carolina for training grounds in Florida shortly after his basketball charges had won the state championship, No better evidence of support for the University could have been offered than the fine way in which the Carolina Boosters Club came to the aid of the University in sending Frank Jenkins and Rex Wil Hams to the boxing tournament in California. With such support it is impossible that the University stand still at least so far as athletics are concerned.' The showing that the box. ers made in California justified all that was done for them. The ad vertising that they gave the University was alone worth all that the trip cost.

The Gamecocks will meet Wofford tomor e row afternoon here. e Scheduled as the opening game for the 1937 season was the engagement s with Davidson at home on April 6th, y but this was postponed on account of -. wet grounds. .Coach Dutch Stamman's boys met otheir first opposition when they clashed Cwith the Columbia Senators of the Sally League, the minor leaguers tri tumphing by the score of 8-2. Capers McCravey shouldered the mound bur den for the Gamecocks, turning in a ~splendid performance for seven innings sand then cracking up. It was too early nin the season for McCravey to go the full route. Leading the Carolina at tack were Pinhead Henson and Van Edward's with two base knocks apiece. 5The starting lineup saw Bernie James, Pinhead Henson, and Lyn Kalmbach in the outfield; Earl Clary, Van Ed gwards, Banjo Williams, and Wilburn SClary guarding the first line of de fense; behind the plate was Don Tom lin, and Capers McCravey on the mound. Traveling to Greenville, the Stain man men met Furman University in their first inter-collegiate contest of the year.

Caro Co-eds Stage Tennis_Meet Plans are getting under way for the annual spring tennis tournament for co-eds at the University of South Caro lina, according to Nancy H. Pope, who directs girls' athletics at the University. This tournament is spon sored by the Woman's Athletic Asso ciation and has been played every spring for the past ten years. Cups are presented to the winning singles Rnd doubles players by the ath letic association. Any Carolina co-ed Is eligible to play in the singles, and sorority and non-sorority groups ap point doubles teams to represent them. Dolly Hamby won the singles title last spring and shared the d'oubles with Easse Davis. rs To4 I FACE' IONAL FOES in the sprint events, but Davidson was too strong for the Gamecocks in the middle distances and the broad jump. In the third meet of the season, Caro lina won out over Wofford College by a score of 88 to 38. Several of Wof ford's star cinder men had been de clared ineligible on account of scholas tic difficulties, and were not able to compete. Lipscomb of Carolina was first in the scoring with 19 points. He took three firsts, a second and a third place. Dick Little was second with 15 points. He won three first places. In the broad jump, Little leaped 22 feet 2% inches. In the freshman meet with Wof ford, the Biddies won by the large score of 97 to 20. L. K. Henson was the high scorer for the freshmen, with Kirk Norton second. Henson made 16y points and Norton made 15. Earlier in the season Coach Pauly was hampered by lack of material from which to build a team. Several of the places on the squad were not filled by candidates until the last minute. A meet with Duke University was scheduled for April 5, but was rained out. After the meet with Clemson tomorrow, the Gamecocks will com pete with Citadel at Charleston on April 24, Furman at Columbia on May 8, and will enter the state meet at Clinton on April 30-May 1 and the Southern Conference meet at Durham, May 14-15. isebaliers et Wofford lina's power came from the bats of Bernie James, Pinhead Henson, and Wilburn Clary, each driving out two hits. Extra base blows were credited to Henson and W. Clary. In the box for Furman was John Smith, former star hurler in American Legion Junior competition. For their third contest of the year the Gamecocks went to Barnwell, where they engaged the Albany club of the International League, which is class AA competition and only one step to the major leagues. The outcome of this contest was a 6 to 5 triumph for the boys from New York state. Lewis Tabor, veteran hurler, did the pitching for Carolina and turned in a notable performance, his main trouble being his failure to quiet the heavy bat of Don Hutson, Albany outfielder. Hutson is a former All-American football end at Albany University, co-starring with Dixie Howell in the Rose Bowl game against Stanford. Returning to their class of competi tion the Gamecocks put on a hitting spree and swamped the boys from Wofford by the score of 10 to 6. The Clary family took the ball game into their own hands. Wilburn clouted out the first four-bagger of the sea son, and Earl, his younger cousin, banged out four hits to lead the at tack. Wolfe did the hurling for the victors. Yesterday Coach Stamman took his boys on the road, this time going to Due West, where they encountered the Erskine Seceders, who last year won the state baseball title and are at pres ent leading the Palmetto League. This contest was to have a great bear ing on the final outcome of the cham pionship race.
